Abstract

(HB6111 · 103rd Legislature) Civil rights: other; American Freedmen reparations commission; establish. Creates new act. Latest action (2026-06-23): Bill Electronically Reproduced 06/18/2026

Why this matters

A statutory reparations study commission would be a new civil-rights and economic-policy mechanism in Michigan, potentially shaping future recommendations on wealth, housing, and labor remedies for descendants of enslaved people. As introduced, it does not yet create direct fiscal obligations, but it establishes a formal state process for developing such proposals.
