House advances a slate of bills to third reading; committees discharged for two measures

The Michigan House moved a large number of calendar items forward on June 16, advancing them to third reading or placing them on the second‑reading calendar after committee discharge. The clerk read multiple bills by title and the House, by unanimous consent or recorded voice procedures, advanced these measures to the next stage of consideration. Examples taken from the day's proceedings include: House Bill 4727 (Estates and Protected Individuals Code) advanced to third reading; House Bill 4728 (occupational code) advanced after adoption of substitute H1; House Bill 4729 (mental health code) advanced; House Bill 4959 (state license fee act) advanced with substitute H1 adopted; House Bills creating or changing hyperbaric oxygen program/fund (5456, 5457) proceed with substitutes and mixed amendment outcomes noted on the floor.

Separately, the majority floor leader moved to suspend Rule 41 to discharge the committee of regulatory reform from further consideration of House Bill 5069 and the committee on government operations from consideration of House Bill 5712; both motions to suspend the rule carried on voice vote and the bills were discharged and placed on the order of second reading. The transcript does not include roll‑call tallies for these procedural motions.

Why it matters: Advancing bills to third reading moves them closer to final floor consideration and possible passage; the day's activity shows a high procedural throughput of legislation across multiple policy areas. Journalists and stakeholders should watch the listed bills for third‑reading votes and any floor amendments.
