The 103rd Michigan Legislature resumed session for the 2025-26 term during the week of Jan. 12, with the MHA continuing to work with lawmakers on initiatives that prioritize patients, providers, and hospitals and improve the health of communities across the state.
The House Rules Committee voted in support of House Bill (HB) 4925 and HB 4896 on Jan. 15. The bills, introduced by Rep. Phil Green (R-Watertown Township) and Rep. Jason Woolford (R-Howell) respectively, would create a new pathway for certain internationally educated physicians to practice medicine in Michigan. The MHA supported this legislation in committee after securing key amendments. The bills now move to the full House for consideration.
