Following the official start of the new 101st legislative session last week, House Speaker Jason Wentworth announced the membership of the House policy and Appropriation subcommittees earlier today.\u00a0 Committee make-up in the Senate will remain the same for this session, except for the changes needed to fill the two Senate vacancies from Macomb and Kent Counties.<\/p>\n

In the House, the two-step committee process initiated last term, having all bills go through the former Ways & Means committee after initial committee action, has been dropped and all committees will now all be able to send bills directly to the House floor.<\/p>\n

The Local Government & Municipal Finance committee, the Tax Policy committee, the Transportation committee, and the Natural Resources & Outdoor Recreation committee\u00a0 tend to be of primary interest to League members.\u00a0 The Local Government (Rep. Julie Calley) and Tax Policy (Rep. Matt Hall) committees have new chairpersons this term, while the chairs of Transportation (Rep. Jack O’Malley) and Natural Resources (Rep. Gary Howell) from last term have been reappointed to manage those committees.<\/p>\n

Now that committee membership has been announced, full legislative activity is expected to begin in the next week or so.<\/p>\n
