Maddy summaryThis bill clarifies how Michigan would appoint presidential electors if the state joins an agreement to choose the President based on the national popular vote rather than the Electoral College. It requires the state Board of State Canvassers to calculate the total national popular vote for each candidate and designate the winner accordingly, while also reporting these results to other participating states. If a tie occurs for the national popular vote, the bill specifies that Michigan would appoint electors based on which candidate received the most votes within Michigan itself. The legislation updates existing election laws to ensure these procedures are followed and includes requirements for issuing official certificates of appointment.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires health insurance policies in Michigan to cover the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections and pediatric acute onset neuropsychiatric syndrome. It mandates that insurers provide these benefits without higher copayments or deductibles than other covered services and prohibits denying coverage based on a patient's medical history or previous use of different diagnostic names. Additionally, the legislation sets specific rules for timely authorization, limits on lifetime coverage, and the use of standardized medical codes for billing purposes.

Maddy summaryHB 6145 requires school districts and intermediate school districts in Michigan to develop and submit five-year capital outlay plans for facility improvements, including new construction and renovations. These plans must be submitted electronically by November each year and will be evaluated based on factors such as safety needs, occupancy rates, sustainability, and projected operating costs. The bill allows districts to opt into this process, which involves a review by the Department of Treasury and the Joint Committee on Oversight Services before any funding is authorized for final design and construction. By establishing these specific criteria and timelines, the legislation aims to bring greater transparency and oversight to how public school districts plan and request funds for building projects.

Maddy summaryThis proposed constitutional amendment requires Michigan's legislature to pass the annual school aid budget bill by July 1 each year. To ensure transparency and accountability, the bill must be publicly available on the legislature's website for at least seven days before a vote, and any amendments must be posted for 24 hours. If the deadline is missed, the salaries of the governor, the Senate majority leader, and the House speaker will be withheld until the bill is enacted.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows the state treasurer to provide interest-free loans to school districts and intermediate school districts if the state budget is not passed by October 1. Under the new rules, a district can borrow an amount equal to what it received from the school aid fund in the previous year for a period of up to one year. The state treasurer retains the authority to set additional terms for these loans, which are intended to help districts manage cash flow during budget delays.

Maddy summaryThis bill designates June 27, 2026, as National Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Awareness Day within the state of Michigan. It directly affects residents by encouraging them to learn about PTSD, show compassion to those affected, and support mental health services. The resolution aims to raise public understanding of the disorder and reduce stigma without changing any laws or funding.

Maddy summaryThis bill declares July 2026 as Cleft and Craniofacial Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. It aims to raise public awareness about orofacial clefts, which are common birth defects affecting a baby's lip or mouth formation. The resolution highlights the medical and developmental challenges these children face, such as feeding difficulties and the need for specialized care. By designating this specific month, the legislature intends to focus attention on the condition without changing any laws or policies.

Maddy summaryThis bill designates July 1, 2026, as Food Day in the state of Michigan. It aims to raise awareness about the importance of food security and to honor the various groups involved in the state's food supply chain, including farmers, farmworkers, and food assistance organizations. The resolution encourages residents to observe the day by learning about food issues, supporting local agriculture, and recognizing the efforts of those who strengthen the food system.

Maddy summaryHB 4523 updates Michigan's trust law by clarifying which trust terms must follow state requirements, regardless of the trust document. It specifies that trust agreements cannot override court powers to modify trusts, spendthrift clauses, duration limits for animal care trusts, or beneficiary rights protections. This affects trustees managing trusts, beneficiaries (including charitable organizations and animal care enforcers), and entities like the Attorney General overseeing charitable trusts. The bill ensures core legal safeguards remain enforceable even if trust documents attempt to bypass them.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires anyone applying for a building permit for a data center in Michigan to submit a detailed acoustic engineering report. The report must include measurements of current noise levels, projections of construction and operational noise, and a comparison of these levels against local rules or national standards. An enforcing agency cannot issue the permit until this report is provided and shared with the Michigan Public Service Commission and the local government. The law only takes effect if several other related bills are also passed.
