To search for a bill that has not yet been signed in the Michigan legislature, follow these steps:
- Visit the Michigan Legislature Website:
- Use the Bill Search Feature:
- Navigate to the "Bills" section. You can find this either directly on the homepage or through the menu options.
- There should be a search bar or a link to "Bill Search" where you can input search criteria.
- Filter Your Search:
- When searching, you can filter by:
- Bill Number: If you know the number of the bill you're looking for, enter it directly.
- Status: Select "Pending Governor's Signature" or similar status that indicates the bill has passed both chambers but has not been signed. This might be under options like "Bill Status" or "Action History."
- Session: Ensure you are looking at bills from the current legislative session (2025 in this case).
- Review Bill Details:
- Once you've filtered your search, you'll get a list of bills. Click on the bill number or name to see detailed information.
- Look for the bill's status which will indicate if it has passed both the House and Senate but has not yet been signed by the Governor.
- Additional Tools:
- Use tools like the "Bill Status and Summary" page to track the progress of bills. Here, you can see if a bill has been enrolled (passed by both chambers) but not yet signed.
- You can also check the "Daily Bill Status Report" for updates on recent actions taken on bills.
- Notifications:
- Consider signing up for email alerts or notification services on the Michigan Legislature website. This can help you track specific bills without manually checking daily.
Remember, legislative information can change rapidly, so checking regularly or setting up notifications will keep you updated on the status of bills.
