HB4003 Civil rights: general discrimination; sexual orientation and gender identity or expression; include as categories protected under the Elliott-Larsen civil rights act. Amends title & secs. 102, 103, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 209, 301, 302, 302a, 402, 501, 502, 504, 505 & 506 of 1976 PA 453 (MCL 37.2102 et seq.). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 19 03/08/2023 -3 Yea Healthcare excellence requires individual professional autonomy, including the freedom to practice according to conscience and experience.
HB4004 HB4004 - Labor: collective bargaining; require agency fee for nonunion members; allow in bargaining agreements and as condition of employment in public sector. Amends secs. 9, 10 & 15 of 1947 PA 336 (MCL 423.209 et seq.). House Third Reading: Senate Amendment(s) Concurred In Roll Call # 38 03/21/2023 -3 Yea Healthcare excellence requires individual professional autonomy, including the freedom to practice and associate according to conscience and experience. Forced unionization creates discord and distraction from individual patient care.
HB4005 Labor: collective bargaining; collective bargaining rights; revise to restore former provisions. Amends secs. 1, 2, 8, 14, 17 & 22 of 1939 PA 176 (MCL 423.1 et seq.). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 21 03/08/2023 -3 Yea Healthcare excellence requires individual professional autonomy, including the freedom to practice and associate according to conscience and experience. Forced unionization creates discord and distraction from individual patient care.
HB4006 Crimes: abortion; penalty for administering with intent to procure miscarriage and advertisement or sale of certain drugs; repeal. Repeals secs. 14 & 15 of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.14 & 750.15). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 15 03/02/2023 -3 Yea Securing the right to life is a primary responsibility of government. ~ Declaration of Independence Truth in advertising is part of that responsibility.
HB4007 Labor: hours and wages; prevailing wage; reenact. Creates new act. House Third Reading: Roll Call # 37 03/21/2023 -3 Yea As the blood of the people, taxes must be spent with the utmost care. In addition, state project restrictions create unfair limits on contracts and potential delays in health services. It is reasonable to expect state contracts for health IT and state hospitals to be subject to open bidding, not limited to prevailing wage.
HB4016 Appropriations: supplemental; appropriations for multiple departments for fiscal years 2021-2022 and 2022-2023; provide for. Creates appropriation act. House Third Reading: Roll Call # 14 03/01/2023 -3 Yea As the blood of the people, tax dollars must be managed with care. Scoring criteria for appropriations included 1) spending increases during difficult economic times. 2) weaponizing healthcare for political agendas including DEI, state control of local activities, and pro-abortion policies.
HB4032 Criminal procedure: sentencing guidelines; reference to crime of administering drugs to procure miscarriage; remove to reflect repeal. Amends sec. 16a, ch. XVII of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 777.16a). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4006'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 16 03/02/2023 -3 Yea Securing the right to life is a primary responsibility of government. ~ Declaration of Independence. Truth in advertising is part of that responsibility.
HB4044 HB4044 - Labor: public service employment; provisions related to the collection of union dues and the freezing of wages and benefits for certain public employees during contract negotiations; repeal. Repeals sec. 15b of 1947 PA 336 (MCL 423.215b). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 181 06/20/2023 -3 Yea Emergency Medical Services (EMS) operate within a complicated MDHHS licensing regime, and are already short of staff. Further reducing professional autonomy with these pro-union measures is likely to make emergency services worse, not better.
HB4071 HB4071 - Insurance: mandates a small number of insurance plans to provide equal coverage for oral and IV chemotherapy even when costs are very different. Amends 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.100 -500.8302) by adding sec. 3406ff. House Third Reading: Roll Call # 347 10/12/2023 -3 Yea Trying to make a $10,000 pill cost the same as a $100 bag of chemo is magical thinking, or sheer ignorance. Market forces have their own laws that cannot be overruled. State micromanagement of pharma prices for a few usually ends with higher costs for everyone. This is no exception.
HB4085 Children: other; licensed homeless youth shelter program; provide safe harbor for youth up to 72 hours with or without parental consent. Amends sec. 1 of 1973 PA 116 (MCL 722.111) & adds sec. 1b. House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 407 10/25/2023 3 Yea Final version simply defines shelter age as up to 18 and transitional housing as 16-22. Does not include 72-hr parental notification change. Expected to increase MDHHS costs by an indeterminate amount.
HB4086 Children: protection; eligibility for participation in a McGruff house or community child watch program; modify. Amends sec. 1 of 1973 PA 116 (MCL 722.111). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 408 10/25/2023 -3 Yea Clarifies shelter and transition program age qualifications as 16-22 to align with new federal standards. Protecting and providing for at-risk youth is great. But it is not OK to raise the legal definition of “minor child” from 21 to 22 years of age.
HB4120 Children: protection; distribution of training package to individuals designated as mandatory reporters for child abuse or child neglect; require. Amends 1975 PA 238 (MCL 722.621 - 722.638) by adding sec. 3b. House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 123 05/24/2023 -3 Yea Archaic, and inserts MDHHS even farther into regulating healthcare employees. When people want information, they look online, and current resources are adequate. A clear MDHHS website form for reporting is sufficient.
HB4121 Health occupations: health professionals; permanent revocation of license or registration if convicted of sexual conduct under pretext of medical treatment; provide for. Amends sec. 16221 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.16221). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4122'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 124 05/24/2023 3 Yea This Larry Nasser bill locks the barn after the horse is long gone, but in the unlikely event it happens again, and can be proven, the provisions are appropriate.
HB4122 Health occupations: health professionals; permanent revocation of license or registration if convicted of sexual conduct under pretext of medical treatment; provide for. Amends sec. 16226 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.16226). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4121'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 125 05/24/2023 3 Yea
HB4123 Crimes: other; preventing reporting of crime; prohibit by use of position of authority. Amends sec. 483a of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.483a). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 126 05/24/2023 3 Yea All doctors, including professors, are mandatory reporters. It is especially egregious for them to either commit such crimes, or to shield those who do from reporting by those to whom they owe an example of professional conduct. In the wake of the Nassar scandal, stories surfaced of female medical students keeping silent for fear that complaints of improper conduct of a sexual nature by a supervising teaching physician who was also the dean of a medical school would result in dismissal.
HB4145 Civil procedure: injunctions; extreme risk protection order act; enact. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: HB 4146'23, HB 4147'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 51 04/13/2023 -3 Yea “Unless the petitioner is a law enforcement officer or health care provider, there is a presumption that the respondent will have 24 hours to surrender the firearms.” This sweeping law attempts to achieve what only good local relationships can accomplish well. Lacking such relationships (as most of Michigan does), this practice allows those with manipulative skills or ill intent to use healthcare to run roughshod over individual rights.
HB4167 Health: diseases; rare disease advisory council; create. Amends 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.1101 - 333.25211) by adding secs. 5135 & 5135a. House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 41 03/22/2023 -3 Yea
HB4197 Occupations: securities; notification and temporary hold on certain account disbursements for the protection of certain adults by broker-dealers and investment advisors; allow. Amends title of 2008 PA 551 (MCL 451.2101 - 451.2703) & adds art. 5A. House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 144 06/08/2023 -3 Yea Protecting the vulnerable is important, and it matters how this is done - for instance, without loss of privacy and autonomy. MDHHS and LARA have been given a great deal of power to access Michigan residents' information. This expands their powers into areas tasked to DIFS: consumer protection, managing consumer information and inquiries, and investigating consumer complaints. Duplication puts individual rights at risk.
HB4200 Health: screening; certificate of immunization; require department of health and human services to update to indicate whether minor has been tested for lead poisoning. Amends sec. 9206 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.9206). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0031'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 276 09/12/2023 -3 Yea
HB4219 Economic development: Michigan strategic fund; membership on the Michigan strategic fund board; modify. Amends sec. 5 of 1984 PA 270 (MCL 125.2005). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 32 03/16/2023 -3 Yea
HB4230 Labor: public service employment; deduction from a public employee's wages for certain political purposes; remove prohibition against. Amends sec. 7 of 1978 PA 390 (MCL 408.477). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 456 11/01/2023 -3 Yea
HB4246 Appropriations: department of labor and economic opportunity; appropriations for fiscal year 2023-2024; provide for. Creates appropriation act. House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 92 05/10/2023 -3 Yea Significantly reduces spending below the previous year. However, the bill weaponizes this department for DEI, abortion, and centralized health policy by requiring local governments to report on actions that attempt to restrict duties of local health officers.
HB4248 Appropriations: department of military and veterans affairs; appropriations for fiscal year 2023-2024; provide for. Creates appropriation act. House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 96 05/10/2023 -3 Yea Weaponizes this department for DEI, abortion, and centralized health policy by requiring local governments to report on actions that attempt to restrict duties of local health officers.
HB4249 Appropriations: department of environment, Great Lakes, and energy; appropriations for fiscal year 2023-2024; provide for. Creates appropriation act. House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 84 05/10/2023 -3 Yea Increases spending 98.4%, requires coordinating with LARA and MDHHS in excessive school and childcare water project, deleting funds for private well testing. Weaponizes this department for DEI, abortion, and centralized health policy by requiring local governments to report on actions that attempt to restrict duties of local health officers.
HB4276 Human services: medical services; Medicaid managed care contract with pharmacy benefit manager; regulate, and require reporting. Amends 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.1 - 400.119b) by adding secs. 105i & 105j. House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 410 10/25/2023 -3 Yea Part of the PBM price-fixing package. Bill text: “(2) By March 1, 2024 and by March 1 of each year after 2024, the department shall submit the information provided under subsection (1) to the house and senate appropriations subcommittees on the department budget, the house and senate fiscal agencies, the house and senate policy offices, and the state budget office.” Who will do what, exactly?! Oh, what ineffective, complex plans arise from cutting consumers out of healthcare purchasing.
HB4280 Appropriations: department of licensing and regulatory affairs; appropriations for fiscal year 2023-2024; provide for. Creates appropriation act. House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 93 05/10/2023 -3 Yea Increases spending 15.8%. Increases healthcare regulation. Weaponizes this department for DEI, abortion, and centralized health policy by requiring local governments to report on actions that attempt to restrict duties of local health officers.
HB4281 Appropriations: department of insurance and financial services; appropriations for fiscal year 2023-2024; provide for. Creates appropriation act. House Third Reading: Roll Call # 132 06/06/2023 -3 Nay Increases spending 0.4% $312,400. Includes $500K for the boondoggle Insulin Prescription Drug Market Study. Weaponizes department for DEI and abortion, requiring local governments to report on actions that attempt to restrict duties of local health officers.
HB4286 Appropriations: school aid; fiscal year 2023-2024 appropriations for K-12 school aid; provide for. Amends secs. 11 & 17b of 1979 PA 94 (MCL 388.1611 & 388.1617b). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 80 05/10/2023 -3 Yea Increases spending 9.8%. More than $266.7M to insert state health/mental health policy into public schools. Eliminates $1Million to nonpublic schools to reimburse costs of complying with health, safety, and welfare state requirements. Weaponizes department for DEI and abortion, requires local governments to report on actions that attempt to restrict duties of local health officers.
HB4287 Appropriations: department of education; appropriations for fiscal year 2023-2024; provide for. Creates appropriation act. House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 81 05/10/2023 -3 Yea Increases spending 22.6%. Increases staff and funds for school mental health programs. Doubles funds for the department to work with MDHHS on the network of infant and early childhood mental health consultation. Weaponizes department for DEI and abortion, requires local governments to report on actions that attempt to restrict duties of local health officers.
HB4292 Appropriations: general government; appropriations for fiscal years 2022-2023 and 2023-2024; provide for. Creates appropriation act. House Third Reading: Conference Report Adopted Roll Call # 478 11/02/2023 -3 Yea Supplemental Appropriations Bill increases total spending $275,759,900 or 0.6%, and healthcare spending through multiple projects: a state psychiatric hospital cost increase - $51M, a New Comprehensive State Public Health & Environmental Science Laboratory project - $326M, $2.5 million for a grant to Michigan Health & Hospital Association for an education, training, & housing incentive program in Flint, $1M CDC data collection, $4.5 million for a medical debt purchase pilot project, and more.
HB4293 Family law: marriage and divorce; marriage entered into by a person under 18 years of age; void. Amends title & sec. 1 of 1921 PA 352 (MCL 551.51). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0212'23, HB 4296'23, SB 0211'23, SB 0210'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 183 06/21/2023 3 Yea While there may be 17-year-olds mature enough to marry, and responsible parents who would consent, it seems this law is being abused by parents arranging (selling?) child marriages. MDHHS enters in only as the state record-holder of marriage licenses.
HB4294 Family law: marriage and divorce; minimum age of consent for marriage; establish at 18. Amends sec. 3 of 1887 PA 128 (MCL 551.103). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0209'23, SB 0212'23, HB 4295'23, HB 4296'23 House Third Reading: Roll Call # 272 09/06/2023 3 Yea Part of the bill package that removes legal provisions for minors to marry.
HB4295 Family law: marriage and divorce; minimum without publicity for persons under 18 years of age; prohibit. Amends sec. 1 of 1897 PA 180 (MCL 551.201). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0209'23, SB 0212'23, HB 4294'23, HB 4296'23 House Third Reading: Roll Call # 269 09/06/2023 3 Yea Part of the bill package that removes legal provisions for minors to marry.
HB4297 Probate: other; references to a “married minor” in the estates and protected individuals code; eliminate. Amends secs. 2519, 5103, 5204, 5206 & 5215 of 1998 PA 386 (MCL 700.2519 et seq.). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4293'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 187 06/21/2023 -3 Yea While updating references to “married minor” the bill editors also changed a Family Independence Agency reference to MDHHS, which previously absorbed the smaller agency. However, this is not just a textual update: it broadens MDHHS power by leaving the decision of who fulfills this responsibility to department discretion. Deciding who investigates and reports to the court about a proposed guardianship is a lawmaker decision, and deserves a conversation of its own.
HB4298 Children: other; reference to "marriage of minor child" in safe families for children act; remove. Amends sec. 5 of 2018 PA 434 (MCL 722.1555). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 188 06/21/2023 3 Yea Part of the bill package that removes legal provisions for minors to marry.
HB4303 Appropriations: community colleges; appropriations for fiscal year 2023-2024; provide for. Amends secs. 201 & 206 of 1979 PA 94 (MCL 388.1801 & 388.1806). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 82 05/10/2023 -3 Yea Deletes College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and first amendment provisions, and removes $56.0 million from the Michigan ADN to BSN Completion Grant program. The deleted provisions remove barriers to job entry in the health professions.
HB4304 Appropriations: higher education; appropriations for fiscal year 2023-2024; provide for. Amends secs. 236 & 241 of 1979 PA 94 (MCL 388.1836 & 388.1841). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 83 05/10/2023 -3 Yea Increases spending 9%, including several high-ticket university projects related to health. Deletes prohibition on Union-Related Activities. Removes Stem Cell Research reporting, CLEP, and 1st Amendment provisions.
HB4308 Vehicles: fund-raising registration plates; fund-raising registration plate for sickle cell anemia research and treatment; create. Amends 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.1 - 257.923) by adding sec. 811hh & repeals sec. 811aa of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.811aa). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 314 09/27/2023 -3 Yea Specialty plates typically direct state collection of funds for a particular organization. By doing this, they serve that organization's interest, and exclude others. The state's special interest treatment extends to the constituency of the specialty plate as well. Very much to the contrary, the state should hold everyone equal.
HB4310 Appropriations: department of health and human services; appropriations for fiscal year 2023-2024; provide for. Creates appropriation act. House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 87 05/10/2023 -3 Yea House increased the MDHHS Budget by $2,516,148,300, equal to 7.8%. Senate zeroed spending to placeholder $100 as part of unknown budget negotiations; subsequent votes are excluded from scoring. As the blood of the people, tax dollars must be managed with care. Scoring criteria for appropriations included 1) spending increases during difficult economic times. 2) weaponizing healthcare for political agendas including DEI, state control of local activities, and pro-abortion policies.
HB4341 Water supply: quality and standards; clean drinking water in schools and child care centers; provide for. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: SB 0088'23, HB 4342'23 House Third Reading: Roll Call # 346 10/12/2023 -3 Yea This bill package creates universal water mandates, no exceptions, without a clear end-point or even evidence of a universal water problem. Hearings sadly lacked a clear child-centered evidentiary goal, as well. Even if Lead (Pb) is a universal enemy, this package is excessive.
HB4342 Water supply: quality and standards; installations of filtration systems in child care centers; require. Amends 1973 PA 116 (MCL 722.111 - 722.128) by adding secs. 3j, 3k & 3l. TIE BAR WITH: SB 0088'23, HB 4341'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 292 09/20/2023 -3 Yea This bill package creates universal water mandates, no exceptions, without a clear end-point or even evidence of a universal water problem. Hearings sadly lacked a clear child-centered evidentiary goal, as well. Even if Lead (Pb) is a universal enemy, this package is excessive.
HB4362 Individual income tax: forms; option for individuals to complete a donor registry schedule to participate in organ donor registry with annual income tax return; provide for. Amends sec. 471 of 1967 PA 281 (MCL 206.471) & adds sec. 474. TIE BAR WITH: HB 4363'23, HB 4364'23 House Third Reading: Roll Call # 246 06/27/2023 -3 Yea The organ donation process has core ethical issues with the way we declare death. These issues should be resolved before any consideration of expanding signup. In fact, resolving ambiguity in defining death is itself likely to resolve hesitancy for many potential donors.
HB4363 Health: anatomical gifts; inclusion on the donor registry of an individual who elects to be a donor on an income tax schedule; allow. Amends secs. 10105 & 10120 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.10105 & 333.10120). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4362'23, HB 4364'23 House Third Reading: Roll Call # 247 06/27/2023 -3 Yea The organ donation process has core ethical issues with the way we declare death. These issues should be resolved before we consider expanding signup. In fact, resolving this ambiguity is itself likely to resolve hesitancy for many potential donors.
HB4364 Taxation: administration; disclosure of certain information related to the donor registry program; allow. Amends sec. 28 of 1941 PA 122 (MCL 205.28). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4362'23, HB 4363'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 102 05/11/2023 -3 Yea The organ donation process has core ethical issues with the way we declare death. These issues should be resolved before we consider expanding signup. In fact, resolving ambiguity in defining death is itself likely to resolve hesitancy for many potential donors.
HB4376 Insurance: producers; duties of acting as a fiduciary; modify. Amends sec. 1207 of 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.1207). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 99 05/11/2023 -3 Yea Reasonably, the bill requires an agent to have a separate bank account for premiums, but excludes credit unions. Reportedly, some agents do not report commissions <$600/year; and FDIC bank accounts are open to federal government inspection as of June 2023, whereas credit union accounts are not. This would violate privacy, besides allowing the state to choose one type of financial institution for insurance agent accounts.
HB4437 Appropriations: omnibus; appropriations for multiple departments and branches for fiscal year 2023-2024; provide for, and make supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2022-2023. Creates appropriation act. House Third Reading: Conference Report Adopted Roll Call # 263 06/28/2023 -3 Yea The main budget bill for 2023-24 is 1,038 pages long and mentions the word "health" 760 times. MDHHS spending is increased 6.9% over the previous year and includes $5.3 Billion for the Healthy Michigan Plan. Full Budget Summary (220 pages): https://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2023-2024/billanalysis/House/pdf/2023-HLA-4437-F1CF4A18.pdf
HB4495 Human services: medical services; general changes to the medical assistance program; provide for. Amends secs. 105d & 106 of 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.105d & 400.106) & repeals secs. 105c & 105f of 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.105c & 400.105f). House Third Reading: Roll Call # 248 06/27/2023 -3 Yea Increases MDHHS costs by removing Healthy Michigan admin cost ceilings, copays, responsible use provisions, and provider incentives. Duplicates federal ACA provisions within Michigan law.
HB4496 Human services: medical services; general changes to the medical assistance program; provide for. Amends secs. 105b & 109f of 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.105b & 400.109f) & repeals secs. 105c & 105f of 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.105c & 400.105f). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 146 06/13/2023 -3 Yea Removes Medicaid work provisions and generally prioritizes control as opposed to independence. Shifts MDHHS creation of health incentives (wellness programs) to coordinating with insurance to create them, making it permissible rather than mandatory, and giving insurance incentives as well. Removes “top 10” limit on disease priorities, opening the door to Sickle Cell program (among others).
HB4516 Family law: domestic violence; domestic violence prevention and treatment fund; allow to provide funding to tribal domestic and sexual violence shelters and service providers. Amends sec. 1 of 1978 PA 389 (MCL 400.1501). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 141 06/07/2023 -3 Yea Administered by MDHHS. Michigan tribes have national sovereignty, special lands, tax-exemption, and special compacts with the state to run lucrative casinos and other businesses. Testimony indicates unusually high rates of violence within tribes. However, does additional access to state programs benefit tribal members long-term, or is this just more MDHHS paternalism and data collection?
HB4520 Crimes: assaultive; penalties for certain kinds of assault; modify. Amends secs. 81 & 81a of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.81 & 750.81a). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4521'23 House Third Reading: Roll Call # 469 11/02/2023 -3 Yea Testimony indicates at least 38 other states have similar laws, yet no statistical evidence is presented. This bill appears to be a bandaid for the real problem of clinician/patient estrangement due to healthcare stresses. In fact, state regulation is a major stressor, suggesting the state can restore relationship by butting out. Law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges can enforce penalties already in place.
HB4521 Crimes: assaultive; penalties for certain kinds of assault; modify. Amends sec. 82 of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.82). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4520'23 House Third Reading: Roll Call # 470 11/02/2023 -3 Yea Is the current law being applied? This situation lacks transparency. HFA states, “The number of convictions that would result under provisions of the bills is not known.” Some say judges and prosecutors are reluctant to go after these offenders. If so, the new provisions are nothing but hot air – and the violent will know that.
HB4522 Courts: other; family treatment court; create. Amends sec. 1082 of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.1082) & adds ch. 10D. House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 422 10/31/2023 -3 Yea Court-directed care under MDHHS/ CPS and national standards violates constitutional protections. Blurring institutional lines between courts and care leads to unequal justice and violation of family and clinician rights. In short, inserting expertise of state bureaucracies fails to replace the role of a jury. Instead, it displaces local interests in justice.
HB4524 Courts: drug court; termination procedure for drug treatment courts; modify. Amends sec. 1074 of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.1074). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 424 10/31/2023 -3 Yea A dual justice system, one option under MDHHS standards, isn't much of an argument for equal justice. Opening it to violent offenders is even worse.
HB4573 Higher education: community colleges; new jobs training program; extend sunset. Amends secs. 161, 162 & 164 of 1966 PA 331 (MCL 389.161 et seq.). House Third Reading: Roll Call # 392 10/24/2023 -3 Yea Perpetuates a high-cost job entry regime, with the state mediating local relationships among schools, health facilities, corporations, higher ed. Every one of my local community college’s health programs used to be on-the-job training. The new license laws make more college classes necessary to qualify for work; state moneys leverage more state control of local business, for instance wage control by this jobs training program bill.
HB4580 Human services: medical services; reimbursement rate for telehealth visits; require to be the same as reimbursements for office visits. Amends sec. 105h of 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.105h). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 560 11/09/2023 -3 Yea Is a telehealth visit equal in value to an office visit? That is a highly individual question, and legislation cannot give a good answer - only clinicians and patients can do that. We should probably allow them to do so.
HB4596 Environmental protection: sewage; labeling standards for disposable wipes products; provide for. Creates new act. House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 340 10/04/2023 -3 Nay Regulations raise prices for consumers, a particularly sad move for a hygeine product during difficult economic times. Testimony that federal regulations are pending doesn’t help this bill.
HB4605 Sales tax: distribution; distribution of certain sales tax revenue into the public safety and violence prevention fund; provide for. Amends sec. 25 of 1933 PA 167 (MCL 205.75). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 494 11/08/2023 -3 Yea A redistribution of wealth from low-crime to high-crime areas of MI, using MDHHS in part: “… 6.5% of the money added during the previous two fiscal quarters to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to create and administer a grant program to provide grants to cities, villages, townships, and counties for the purpose of advancing public health and intervention solutions to community violence.” Weaponizing health policy to benefit some at the expense of others is wrong.
HB4606 State management: funds; public safety and violence prevention fund; create. Amends sec. 2 of 2000 PA 489 (MCL 12.252) & adds secs. 11a & 11b. House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 495 11/08/2023 -3 Yea A redistribution of wealth from low-crime to high-crime areas of MI, using MDHHS in part: “… 6.5% of the money added during the previous two fiscal quarters to [MDHHS] to create and administer a grant program to provide grants to cities, villages, townships, and counties for the purpose of advancing public health and intervention solutions to community violence.” Disproportionate impact for large cities will increase over time, making this a liberal stronghold handout. It took 19 subs to pass!
HB4608 Health occupations: dietitians and nutritionists; licensure of dietitian nutritionists; provide for. Amends secs. 16141 & 16145 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.16141 & 333.16145) & adds sec. 16346 & pt. 183A. House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 390 10/19/2023 -3 Yea Licenses are a barrier to clinical work and patient access to care. They are unproven to increase quality and guaranteed to increase costs.
HB4616 Mental health: children; conversion therapy; prohibit. Amends 1974 PA 258 (MCL 330.1001 - 330.2106) by adding sec. 901a. TIE BAR WITH: HB 4617'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 167 06/14/2023 -3 Yea Weaponizes state government to penalize clinical free speach in treating gender dysphoria. The bill is based upon a lie, since the term "conversion therapy" is highjacked and redefined in the companion bill. Commonly known as "SOGI bills" (sexual orientation gender identity).
HB4617 Mental health: other; definition of conversion therapy; provide for. Amends sec. 100a of 1974 PA 258 (MCL 330.1100a). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4616'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 168 06/14/2023 -3 Yea Weaponizes state government to penalize clinical free speach in treating gender dysphoria. The bill is based upon a lie, since the term "conversion therapy" is highjacked and redefined. The term itself is shocking, as it is commonly associated with archaic methods such as shock treatment and aversion therapy. But the new, banned, definition covers everything but affirmation. Commonly known as "SOGI bills" (sexual orientation gender identity).
HB4619 Insurance: insurers; denying coverage based on gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation or expression; prohibit. Amends sec. 2027 of 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.2027). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 253 06/28/2023 -3 Yea House bill package 4619-23 duplicates federal ACA (Obamacare) in state law, increasing costs, centralizing control, and limiting health insurance options.
HB4620 Insurance: health insurers; denying coverage for preexisting conditions; prohibit, and prohibit canceling coverage based on health of insured. Amends 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.100 - 500.8302) by adding sec. 3406ii. House Third Reading: Roll Call # 348 10/12/2023 -3 Yea Redistributes the financial burden of poor health, including that caused by poor choices. House bill package 4619-23 duplicates federal ACA (Obamacare) in state law, increasing costs, centralizing control, and limiting health insurance options.
HB4621 Insurance: health insurers; coverage for dependents under the age of 26; require. Amends sec. 3403 of 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.3403). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 255 06/28/2023 -3 Yea House bill package 4619-23 duplicates federal ACA (Obamacare) in state law, increasing costs, centralizing control, and limiting health insurance options. This bill in particular delays age of responsibility, and redistributes financial burden of poor health, including that caused by poor choices in child-rearing. Another consequence for some has been a barrier to entirely “leaving father and mother” and/or fully committing to marriage.
HB4622 Insurance: health insurers; annual and lifetime dollar limits; prohibit. Amends 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.100 - 500.8302) by adding sec. 3406z. TIE BAR WITH: HB 4623'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 256 06/28/2023 -3 Yea House bill package 4619-23 duplicates federal ACA (Obamacare) in state law, increasing costs, centralizing control, and limiting health insurance options. This bill in particular guarantees ongoing price hikes, making insurance unaffordable for everyone, and increasing state welfare dependence.
HB4623 Insurance: health insurers; minimum required coverage; provide for. Amends 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.100 - 500.8302) by adding sec. 3406bb. House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 257 06/28/2023 -3 Yea House bill package 4619-23 duplicates federal ACA (Obamacare) in state law, increasing costs, centralizing control, and limiting health insurance options. This particular bill guarantees high-flow dollars to insurance/managed care, while preserving their ability to limit reimbursement. Prohibits individual-responsibility copays etc for mandated coverage items (ambulance, ER, pregnancy, etc.). Nationalizes treatment standards, which limits Michigan and local choices.
HB4625 Juveniles: criminal procedure; use of screening tool for minors eligible for a certain diversion option; require. Amends secs. 2, 3, 6 & 9 of 1988 PA 13 (MCL 722.822 et seq.). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0418'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 364 10/17/2023 -3 Yea The screening is not allowed in evidence?? One bill of many recommended by the EO 2021-6 task force to safely reduce placement in detention & residential placement and associated costs. Increase safety & well-being of youth "impacted by the juvenile justice system." Reduce racial & ethnic disparities among youth .... Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the state’s and counties’ juvenile justice systems; Increase accountability & transparency in the juvenile justice system.
HB4626 Juveniles: other; length of time youth can be placed on precourt diversion program; limit. Amends secs. 5 & 6 of 1988 PA 13 (MCL 722.825 & 722.826). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4625'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 365 10/17/2023 -3 Yea Diversion court effectiveness is unknown. This bill package would increase costs for MDHHS and local units of government by an indeterminate amount. The fiscal impact on counties would depend on the cost of adopting a mental health screening tool and a risk screening tool per MI Supreme Court guidelines. Increased costs to DHHS or local county governments would depend upon the increased number of juveniles involved. In-home care: 75% state 25% county reimb rate, out-of-home care: 50% state 50%..
HB4628 Courts: family division; use of screening tool for minors sought to be placed on the consent calendar; require. Amends sec. 2f, ch. XIIA of 1939 PA 288 (MCL 712A.2f). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0418'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 366 10/17/2023 -3 Yea Involves the state health department in creating a parallel, unproven, justice system. There is no freedom without effective and equal rule of law.
HB4629 Juveniles: other; detention of juveniles in certain circumstances; modify. Amends sec. 15 & 16, ch. XIIA of 1939 PA 288 (MCL 712A.15 & 712A.16).

Any statement, admission, confession, or incriminating evidence obtained from a juvenile in the court of a screening under these provisions is not admissible
HB4639 Children: services; reference to "children's ombudsman" in social welfare act; amend to "child advocate". Amends sec. 115m of 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.115m). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4638'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 372 10/17/2023 3 Yea This bill and others change the Department of Technology, Management, and Budget (DTMB) office name that investigates MDHHS management of CPS. HB 4638 did not receive a floor vote in 2023, but would add responsibilities related to residential facilities and juvenile justice services in an apparent DTMB attempt to keep up with MDHHS sprawl.
HB4640 Children: services; reference to "children's ombudsman" in the probate code of 1939; amend to "child advocate". Amends secs. 67 & 68, ch. X & sec. 19b, ch. XIIA of 1939 PA 288 (MCL 710.67 et seq.). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4638'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 373 10/17/2023 3 Yea

Amends secs. 5, 8a, 8b & 8d of 1994 PA 203 (MCL 722.955 et seq.). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4638'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 374 10/17/2023 3 Yea
HB4644 Probate: powers of attorney; uniform power of attorney act; create. Creates new act & repeals secs. 5501 - 5505 of 1998 PA 386 (MCL 700.5501 - 700.5505). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4645'23, HB 4646'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 243 06/27/2023 3 Yea Clarifies power of attorney for health-related expenses, and directs coordination with another person responsible for healthcare decisions. Adopts a version used by 30 other states, making this tool more durable for people who move between Michigan and those states. The POA form is said to be the most affordable way to address incapacity. Current POAs remain valid unless replaced. Does not repeal or amend Michigan's EPIC law, which potentially sets up conflictsx and future court challengess.
HB4646 Probate: powers of attorney; reference to powers of attorney in public health code; revise to reflect adoption of uniform power of attorney act. Amends secs. 10121 & 10301 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.10121 & 333.10301).

Does not repeal or amend Michigan's EPIC law, which potentially sets up conflictsx and future court challengess.
HB4647 Occupations: individual licensing and registration; department of licensing and regulatory affairs inspection requirements of barbershops and barber colleges; modify. Amends sec. 1113 of 1980 PA 299 (MCL 339.1113). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 343 10/10/2023 3 Yea For low-risk care, barbering is highly regulated. This bill lets them do what they do with fewer barriers. HFA: “Currently, the act requires barbershops to be inspected at least once a year and each barber college to be inspected twice a year after the initial inspection required to open the establishment. The bill would require the department to conduct these inspections regularly following the initial inspection.” - in alignment with cosmetology establishments.
HB4677 Children: foster care; assessments of education facilities at child care institutions; require. Amends 1994 PA 203 (MCL 722.951 - 722.960) by adding sec. 8e. House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 564 11/09/2023 3 Yea Requires MDHHS to report to multiple legislative committees the educational level, status, and movement of foster children. (House Health Appropriations hearing testimony indicated 2023 numbers are down to 10,000 from 13,000 before.) This may be a “preventive” measure following the CPS employee chronic abuse of foster kids. The final report of that investigation has not been published at the time of scoring.
HB4678 Children: child care; assessments of education facilities at child care institutions; require. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1281c. House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 565 11/09/2023 3 Yea Clarifies legislative intent for quality of foster child education. The rulemaking to restrict foster children to schools that follow MDE guidelines continues exclusion of homeschooling by omission. (Not a new rule for the foster system.)96
HB4720 Civil rights: other; language access plan; require state agencies to create and implement for individuals with limited English proficiency. Creates new act. House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 481 11/02/2023 -3 Yea Would mandate all departments to provide their information in multiple langages, coordinating with the Office of Global Michigan; and increase costs to state entities "by an indeterminate amount." Appropriations went from $700K to $39.9M this year. People who assimilate, thrive; and help Michigan to thrive as well. It is not state government's role to enable foreign enclaves and entitlements. "If every man would sweep his own doorstep the city would soon be clean." - T. Adams Temple, 1624
HB4732 Insurance: health benefits; excluding federal excepted benefits from a health insurance policy; provide for. Amends sec. 3701 of 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.3701). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4733'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 358 10/12/2023 3 Yea Reportedly, there is significant confusion in the senior community between Medicare major medical plans and Medicare Supplement Plans. HBs 4732 and 4733 bring Michigan law into line with federal definitions.
HB4733 Insurance: health benefits; exclusion of federal excepted benefits from a health insurance policy; provide for. Amends sec. 608 of 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.608).

TIE BAR WITH: HB 4923'23 House Third Reading: Roll Call # 506 11/08/2023 -3 Yea Mandates nurse aide, med aide, and nurse trainer all be registered. LARA increased the fees after bill was proposed, to CNA Reg $40, Trainer $60, training program $300, Community College or onsite $100, Exam $175. Renewal $160, 200, 500. Teaching is already in the RN scope of practice: more red tape is just wrong. Committee members seemed satisfied learning that fees are paid by the facility, but where do they think the money comes from?? ALL costs are passed on to patients.
HB4909 Probate: guardians and conservators; requirements to be appointed as guardian or conservator; modify. Amends 5104, 5106, 5310, 5313 & 5409 of 1998 PA 386 (MCL 700.5104 et seq.) & adds sec. 5106a.

However, it sets up regulatory overkill, including MDHHS licensing of guardians and other provisions beyond the original recommendations for reform.
HB4910 Probate: guardians and conservators; duties of guardians, conservators, and guardians ad litem; modify. Amends secs. 5305, 5314, 5406, 5417 & 5418 of 1998 PA 386 (MCL 700.5305 et seq.) & adds sec. 5314a.

"... over 60,000 Michigan citizens have critical aspects of their lives controlled by another person," Danny Wimmer, a spokesperson for Nessel's office, said. "While not every state reports their total numbers, we do believe that Michigan is at the top end of the spectrum, if not the highest, due to the flagrantly large number of unnecessary guardianships awarded in Michigan."
HB4911 Probate: guardians and conservators; appointment; modify procedure. Amends secs. 5303, 5304, 5306, 5306a, 5312 & 5416 of 1998 PA 386 (MCL 700.5303 et seq.).

Highly prescriptive, but appropriate for such a decision. My only concern is privacy: this data should not be accessible to other state agencies such as MDHHS.
HB4912 Probate: guardians and conservators; appointment of a temporary guardian; modify procedure, and modify procedure for removing a conservator. Amends secs. 5414 & 5415 of 1998 PA 386 (MCL 700.5414 & 700.5415) & adds sec. 5312a.

TIE BAR WITH: HB 4949'23 House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 465 11/01/2023 -3 Yea Brings this section of law into compliance with abortion-protective bills.

HB4982 Higher education: education programs; authorization and distance education reciprocal exchange act; extend sunset. Amends sec. 7 of 2015 PA 45 (MCL 390.1697). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 290 09/20/2023 3 Yea This bill extends SARA, a workaround (pay-off?) for genuine interstate reciprocity in higher ed. Not cheap - LEO collected $389.9 million in revenues for the program in 2022. Impacts healthcare education by degree-granting institutions according to LEO. Ideally, states and schools will allow reciprocity to make this LEO role irrelevant and lighten the regulatory cost of healthcare education.
HB4989 Food: licensing; food service establishment fees; modify. Amends secs. 3119, 4103 & 4117 of 2000 PA 92 (MCL 289.3119 et seq.).

House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 297 09/20/2023 -3 Yea Extends fee increases for multiple occupational licenses: barbers, cosmetology, and hearing aid dealers. These licenses are unproven to protect health and safety. On the contrary, they do raise set barriers to job entry, and pass costs on to consumers. If we're serious about cutting the cost of healthcare, this would be a good place to start
HB4995 Businesses: limited liability companies; annual statement fees under the Michigan limited liability company act; modify. Amends sec. 1101 of 1993 PA 23 (MCL 450.5101). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 299 09/20/2023 -3 Yea Your independent doctor's office probably formed as an LLC (Limited Liability Corporation). Any fee it incurs, comes out in your bill. This bill postpones, for 4 years, reducing the Section 911 reporting fee from $25 to $15. The three-bill package impacts LLC, nonprofit, and corporate annual report filing fees. Together they effectively tax small businesses $9.5M per year, which goes to LARA.
HB4996 Businesses: nonprofit corporations; annual report fees under the nonprofit corporation act; modify. Amends sec. 1060 of 1982 PA 162 (MCL 450.3060). House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 300 09/20/2023 -3 Yea Most charities and many healthcare organizations some large, some small - are nonprofits. State fees add to their cost of doing business. This bill postpones, for 4 years, reducing the Section 911 reporting fee from $25 to $15.

House Third Reading: Given Immediate Effect Roll Call # 301 09/20/2023 -3 Yea Most small start-ups, including many that serve healthcare market, must file with the state as a corporation. This cost of doing business (in time and finances) is passed on to each of us, as consumers. This bill postpones, for 4 years, reducing the Section 911 reporting fee from $25 to $15.

We’re already suffering from high healthcare cost inflation, and these charges inevitably turn up in patient bills .How about we stop raising the cost of healthcare?
