Legislature: sessions; part-time legislature; provide for. Amends sec. 13, art. IV of the state constitution.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to limit Michigan's legislative session length. It would require the legislature to meet annually on the second Wednesday in January, with regular sessions ending by a date set through a concurrent resolution. Starting in 2027, sessions would be capped at 90 consecutive days, and bills pending at the end of odd-numbered year sessions would automatically carry over to the next session. The amendment affects how the Michigan legislature operates, directly changing session duration rules and bill handling procedures under the state constitution.
