Administrative Rules Promulgation Process (Administrative Procedures Act)

Current understanding

HB5817 (103rd Legislature) amends Michigan’s Administrative Procedures Act (1969 PA 306), modifying secs. 39 & 45 (MCL 24.239 & 24.245) and adding new secs. 47a and 67c to change the process by which state agencies promulgate administrative rules. The bill is tie-barred to HB5818’26 and is part of a broader package of APA reforms addressing agency rulemaking, judicial review, and administrative hearings. It has passed one chamber; downstream effects would apply to any employer, licensee, or regulated business subject to agency rules.
