Rep. Jaime Greene, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on HB 5045 and HB 5046 because foreclosure law should protect homeowners, but it should also require personal responsibility from every party involved. These bills say that if a foreclosure deed is not recorded within the required 20 day window, the sale is still valid. That may give the homeowner more time to redeem the property, but it also excuses the failure to meet a legal deadline. When someone’s home is on the line, deadlines should matter. The party responsible for filing the deed should be held accountable for doing it correctly and on time. I support protecting homeowners from losing redemption rights because of someone else’s delay. But I cannot support legislation that removes accountability from the foreclosure process. That is why I voted no.”
House Bill No. 5046, entitled
A bill to amend 1961 PA 236, entitled “Revised judicature act of 1961,” by amending sections 3232 and 3240 (MCL 600.3232 and 600.3240), section 3240 as amended by 2019 PA 130.

context_text:
A concurrent resolution to approve an extension of the state of energy emergency declared on April 2, 2026.
Whereas, People across the state of Michigan are facing increasingly high gas prices, with prices climbing above four dollars a gallon, forcing families and small businesses to absorb additional costs; and
Whereas, Offering other forms of fuel for sale, such as E15 fuel, may help reduce pressure on gas prices and bring costs down. However, under state statute, gasoline sold in Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne counties cannot exceed 7.0 psi vapor pressure during the summer months, preventing E15 from being accessible to drivers in those counties; and
Whereas, In response to increasing fuel costs, Governor Whitmer declared a state of energy emergency across Michigan in Executive Order 2026-4, which temporarily suspended the state’s fuel requirements to the extent allowed by a federal fuel waiver previously issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); and
Whereas, Executive Order 2026-4 expires on July 1, 2026, and resumed enforcement of the state’s fuel regulations may constrain fuel supply and contribute to higher prices and reduced availability; and
Whereas, Pursuant to section 3 of the Declaration of State of Energy Emergency Act, 1982 PA 191, MCL 10.83, the Legislature may approve an extension of a state of energy emergency for a specific number of days; and
Whereas, It is in the best interests of the state of Michigan that this extension be approved in order to avoid additional pressure on fuel prices and avoid driving up costs for Michigan families; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we approve the extension of the state of energy emergency declared on April 2, 2026 by an additional 77 days; and be it further
Resolved, That this resolution does not take effect until July 1, 2026; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor.

Rep. Young, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I was in full support of the original bill, before the changes made in the H-2 substitute. Payroll processors aren’t money transmitters. Payroll Processors provide payroll services to employers by contract. Money transmitters move money from consumer to consumer on behalf of the consumer, like Venmo or CashApp. 27 out of 32 states have exempted payroll providers, either fully, partially, or by not mentioning them at all. The original bill before the adopted H2 sub had a limited exemption which all parties were in agreement with. DIFS has not licensed payroll processors in the last 30 years. There are some concerns that some small payroll processing companies could be put out of business because they don’t have the capacity of a Paychex or ADP. It is my hope these concerns will be addressed in the Senate.”

Whereas, In response to increasing fuel costs, Governor Whitmer declared a state of energy emergency across Michigan in Executive Order 2026-4, which temporarily suspended the state’s fuel requirements to the extent allowed by a federal fuel waiver previously issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); and
Whereas, Executive Order 2026-4 expires on July 1, 2026, and, under current market conditions, resumed enforcement of the state’s fuel regulations may constrain fuel supply and contribute to higher prices and reduced availability; and

Third Reading of Bills
The following bill was read a third time:
Senate Bill No. 1, entitled
A bill to amend 1976 PA 442, entitled “Freedom of information act,” by amending section 2 (MCL 15.232), as amended by 2018 PA 68.
The question being on the passage of the bill,

The bill was passed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor, as follows:


context_text:
This is Senate Bill No. 1, the first vote of the new legislative term, and this chamber is prioritizing a more transparent state government. Residents in Michigan have been able to utilize the nearly-50-year-old Freedom of Information Act to request the behind-the-scenes documents from their city or township hall, from their school district, from county officials, from state departments, to better understand how the government decisions that impact them are made. These are e-mails, memos, schedules, agendas, who did your mayor meet with? What did your school board members send to each other during a meeting? Did the county actually follow through on the issue you brought up to them? Residents can find all of that out through a FOIA request. But this act excludes the Governor and state lawmakers from being subject to those same record requests. The public is blocked from seeing the inner workings of the Executive Office and the State Legislature. This is outrageous enough, but we are one of the only states in the country with these exemptions in the State Capitol. This contributes to the reasons why Michigan ranks the worst in the country in ethics and accountability and why scandals in this building are able to persist in the dark.
As you all know, the Senator from the Upper Peninsula and I have introduced these bills year after year to include the Governor and Legislature in FOIA. During the 2015-2016 session—a decade ago—our ten bills passed in the House when we served in the House, most with a 100-6 and some with a 99-7 vote. The next session, my second term in the House, those ten bills passed in the House unanimously, with a 108-0 vote. The next session, unanimously in the House with a 107-0 vote. The next session, unanimously in the House with a 109-0 vote. But each session, these bills were blocked by the then-Senate Republican leaders. Last term, our Senate Democratic majority for the very first time put these bills up for a vote in our chamber. We crafted the strongest version of this legislation yet and put it into two bills that passed 36-2, but then the House didn’t take it up. If you’re keeping score, there have been 4,310 votes in the last ten years in support of this legislation and 66 votes against, yet it is still not the law, the public is still left behind, and the opportunity for scandal is still ripe.
Today, we in the Senate will do our part to give residents the tools to shine light on state government and these bills will be sent over to the House. I compel the House to act on it. I don’t have another floor speech to give on these bills. This is the last time that my colleague and I will be able to be a part of this journey and it’s long past time to get it done. It should not take another ten years or another 4,000 votes for the Legislature to do the right thing for our constituents. I urge a “yes” vote on these two bills.
The following bill was read a third time:
Senate Bill No. 2, entitled
A bill to amend 1976 PA 442, entitled “Freedom of information act,” by amending sections 6, 10, and 13 (MCL 15.236, 15.240, and 15.243), section 6 as amended by 1996 PA 553, section 10 as amended by 2014 PA 563, and section 13 as amended by 2023 PA 64, and by adding section 14a.

“Whereas, on December 2nd, 2024, and January 20th, 2025 former President Biden’s pardoning of his family served as an example of the blatant corruption and abuse of power of the previous administration. This decision to issue last minute pardons for family members is disgraceful misuse of power and undermines the notion of justice, transparency, and accountability in our nation; and”.

context_text:
Once again, we see here on the floor people trying to make false equivalencies, pointing at other incidents that happened like when folks were out protesting. You know what? You’re not correct. When folks were out protesting in the street and they broke the law, they were prosecuted. There were hundreds of people prosecuted. There were many people jailed. You’re just wrong. When the Senator for the 23rd District says those things, he is either not telling the truth or he just doesn’t know the truth—
I would encourage members to review what I actually said. I said nothing about motives. I said about the accuracy of the comments that were being made, comments that were false. Just like the false equivalencies that I hear constantly from the other side, not just about supporting our police, not just about accountability for violence in our streets, but also about the decorum here on this floor. That’s right. People who are taking great offense when they’re asked to follow the rules, but they have no intention of expecting their President or themselves to follow the rules.
Point of Order
Senators Runestad and McBroom raised the Point of Order that the member speaking is impugning the motives of other members.
The President pro tempore, Senator Moss, ruled that point is taken and Senator Irwin is reminded not to impugn the motivations of members and to stick to the point of the resolution.
Senator McBroom raised an objection to Senator Irwin’s remarks being printed in the Journal as they question not just the motives of a member but also the disposition of the member’s comments and the integrity of that member.
The President pro tempore, Senator Moss, ruled that the comments can be printed in the Journal.

I just wanted to make a quick statement based off my good friend from the 25th District. Yes, this bill does do that. It does have an increase on the minimum wage year after year once it gets to $15. That $15 will actually be two years earlier than what the court-mandated experience would be, and I think that is good for Michigan workers and that is one of the reasons why I’m supporting this bill.
Senator Nesbitt’s statement is as follows:
Over the past several months since the decision last summer, Senate Republicans have been calling for a fix of the Supreme Court decision, to save 50,000 jobs, to save one in five local restaurant businesses, to allow family owned and operated establishments to work, the ones we all know and love, a chance, just a chance, to survive. After months of calling for discussion and for negotiations to find a consensus, those discussions have finally happened over the last few hours. This bill will help save the tip credit. It will allow our waitstaff and bartenders to continue to make a good living without the burdensome restrictions of a top-down, one-size-fits-all mandate.
This bill isn’t perfect. It’s not what I would pass if I was the only one making the decision. It’s not what we would pass if there was a Republican majority in the Senate. In fact, we just voted on what our preferred path would be on this side. But when it comes to saving Michigan jobs and keeping our local restaurants and bars in business, we can’t make the perfect the enemy of the good. This is a first step in finding a solution to save the businesses that make Michigan great, to look forward to finding a resolution to allow Michigan businesses to continue providing reasonable, responsible, and flexible paid time for hardworking families. Hopefully over the coming week, we can find a solution to saving paid time off here in the state and to finally find a solution for these two issues, and to prevent economic catastrophe if nothing is done because of this Supreme Court decision last summer. I ask for a “yes” vote on this bill.
Senator Singh moved that the Senate return to consideration of the following bill:
