SB 912: State management: funds; amendments related to the creation of the revenue sharing trust fund; provide for. Amends title & sec. 2 of 2000 PA 489 (MCL 12.252). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0559'25, SB 0561'25

SB 912 amends the Michigan Trust Fund Act to update the official title and definitions of various state funds, including those for education, local government reimbursement, and opioid recovery. The bill does not create new funding or change how money is spent; instead, it clarifies the names and descriptions of existing funds within the state's financial code. This legislative change is contingent upon the simultaneous passage of two other bills, SB 559 and SB 561, which must also be enacted for this amendment to take effect.

HB 5719: Criminal procedure: prosecuting attorneys; prosecuting attorneys coordinating council; modify. Amends secs. 2, 3 & 4 of 1972 PA 203 (MCL 49.102 et seq.).

This bill modifies the Prosecuting Attorneys Coordinating Office Act to restructure how the office operates within the Department of Attorney General. It creates an autonomous office led by a council of five members, including the attorney general and representatives from different county population sizes, to coordinate prosecutorial work across the state. The office will have its own executive secretary appointed by the council, with independent authority to manage personnel, budgeting, and procurement while receiving administrative support from the department. Council members serve one-year terms and must vacate their positions if they leave their roles as prosecuting attorneys or the attorney general.

It allocates specific dollar amounts from various state funds to support public school operations, including general funds, transportation, meals, and student support reserves, while also distributing $493 million to community colleges for operational expenses. The legislation establishes spending priorities that require general fund allocations to be used before state school aid funds, and directs any unspent general fund money to a stabilization fund at the end of each fiscal year.

HB 5499: Administrative procedure: other; cause of action for denial of a permit; provide for. Amends sec. 101 of 1969 PA 306 (MCL 24.301).

HB 5499 amends Michigan's Administrative Procedures Act to allow individuals denied state agency permits to sue for monetary damages and attorney fees after exhausting all administrative remedies. The bill specifically adds this right to section 101(2), creating a direct legal path for people who face permit denials. It does not change the requirement to first pursue all internal agency appeals before seeking court review. This change directly affects residents and businesses seeking permits from state agencies who believe their denial was unjust. The bill provides a concrete legal remedy for permit denials, focusing on financial compensation rather than reversing the agency's decision.

HB 5558: Businesses: other; regulation and licensing of earned wage access service providers; provide for. Creates new act.

HB 5558 creates a new licensing system for businesses providing "earned wage access services" (EWAS), which allow workers to access part of their earned but unpaid wages before payday. It requires all EWAS providers (excluding banks, payroll services, and employers offering early pay) to obtain a state license, pay annual fees based on business volume, and submit detailed application information. The law defines key terms like "earned but unpaid income" (wages earned but not yet paid by an employer) and outlines penalties for unlicensed operation. This directly affects EWAS providers operating in Michigan, imposing regulatory requirements while exempting certain financial institutions and employer-provided early wage options.

HB 5568: Financial institutions: generally; 1966 PA 326; amend to exempt earned wage access services. Amends sec. 1 of 1966 PA 326 (MCL 438.31). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5558'26

HB 5568 amends Michigan's 1966 interest rate law (MCL 438.31) to explicitly exempt "earned wage access services" from the 7% annual interest cap. This means providers of early paycheck access services (like apps or employer programs that let workers withdraw earned wages before payday) can charge rates outside the standard limit. The bill directly affects workers who use these services and the companies offering them. It clarifies an existing exemption under the law without changing the 7% cap for other loans.

in committee · Michigan · House Apr 30, 2026

HB 5569: Financial institutions: generally; criminal usury; amend to exempt earned wage access services. Amends 1968 PA 259 (MCL 438.41 - 438.42) by adding sec. 1a. TIE BAR WITH: HB 5558'26

HB 5569 exempts licensed earned wage access services from Michigan's criminal usury law (MCL 438.41-438.42). This bill adds Section 1a to the existing law, clarifying that the criminal usury regulations do not apply to businesses operating under the earned wage access services act. It directly affects providers of short-term wage advances - such as those offering early access to earned pay - by removing them from criminal usury penalties. The change simplifies regulatory compliance for these services without altering other aspects of the usury law.
