Abstract
(HB5585 · 103rd Legislature) Land use: zoning and growth management; zoning restrictions related to accessory dwelling units and mobile homes; modify. Amends sec. 102 of 2006 PA 110 (MCL 125.3102) & adds secs. 207a & 516. Sponsor: Rep. Luke Meerman ® + 19 co-sponsors Latest action (2026-05-14): Rep. Sharon Macdonell Removed As Cosponsor
Why this matters
For Michigan homeowners and prospective builders, HB5585 would narrow local governments’ ability to restrict accessory dwelling units and mobile homes through zoning, potentially expanding lower-cost housing options and siting flexibility. For municipalities, it continues a broader 2026 pattern (HB5581–HB5583, HB6082–HB6085) of state-level preemption of residential zoning authority. Fiscal effects would flow to property owners and local tax bases rather than through a direct state expenditure.
