Michigan HB 4358 has passed both chambers of the Legislature and is now heading to the governor. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Mike Hoadley with 32 co-sponsors, would amend the 1909 Home Rule City Act by adding a new section that modifies the term of office for elected officials in local government. The most recent action in the record occurred on May 20, 2026.

The bill passed the House on September 9, 2025, with an immediate effect provision. It was referred that same day to the Senate Committee on Elections and Ethics. On May 20, 2026, the Senate discharged the bill from committee and placed it on the order of general orders, clearing the way for final passage in the upper chamber. No vote counts appear in the available action log. (source: https://openstates.org/mi/bills/2025-2026/HB4358/)
