Bill Summary

A resolution to direct the Clerk of the House of Representatives to promptly present to the Governor nine bills that were passed by both houses of the Legislature and ordered enrolled in December 2024.

AI Summary

This resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to immediately submit nine bills to the Governor that were previously passed by both legislative chambers and enrolled in December 2024. The resolution stems from a legal dispute between the Senate and the House leadership, specifically Speaker Matt Hall, who had been withholding these bills from the Governor. A Court of Claims decision on February 27, 2025, had already ruled that the Michigan Constitution mandates that all passed bills must be presented to the Governor, leaving no discretion for the House to withhold legislation. The resolution notes that on March 12, 2025, the House Republican Caucus had adopted House Resolution 41, which attempted to limit bill presentations, but this new resolution seeks to ensure compliance with the constitutional requirement. The resolution also directs that copies of the resolution be sent to key legislative and executive officials, including the Speaker of the House, the Clerk, the Governor, and the Senate President.
