Rules Committee reports multiple bills after substitute adoptions; roll-call votes largely unanimous

The Michigan House Rules Committee adopted substitutes and reported a series of bills on unanimous or near-unanimous roll calls during the session.

Representative Wenzel moved to report house bill 54 45 with recommendation; the clerk recorded the votes and the chair announced the motion prevailed (clerk announced nine affirmative votes in the transcript). The committee subsequently took up house bill 43 61, adopted substitute H-1 on a roll call moved by Vice Chair Aragona and then reported the bill with recommendation; recorded tallies were nine yays, zero nays. The committee reported house bill 45 01 (moved by Representative Martin) and house bill 45 93 (substitutes H-2 and H-4 were adopted and the bill was reported as substitute H-4); roll calls for those items likewise recorded nine yays and no nays in the transcript.

The committee also adopted a Department of Natural Resources substitute H-1 for house bill 48 55 to make technical clarifications about hunting restrictions (stating hunters may not use pistols during archery season unless for personal protection from aggressive wildlife) and reported house bill 48 91. The chair noted perfect attendance before adjourning.

The transcript records roll-call tallies and the committee’s reported outcomes but does not include bill summaries or full text changes for each reported item; where substitutes were adopted the committee described them as making technical or clarifying changes.
