A federal judicial panel issued their decision on March 27, securing implementation of the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission's (ICRC) redrawn House districts 1-14 and 16 for the 2024 elections. All 110 House districts are up for reelection in November. The ICRC will soon begin work to remap Senate districts 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, and 11, as mandated by the panel.

When legislators return from spring break the week of April 9, work to finalize the state’s fiscal year 2025 budget will take center stage with budget bills due to the Governor by July 1.

Elections to fill two vacant House seats will be held April 16 and will determine which party will hold control of the chamber for the rest of the year. The House is currently split by party 54-54. The vacancies were the result of Democratic Representatives from House Districts 13 and 25 stepping down after winning their mayoral races.

Organizations that pay a lobbyist agent, such as Karoub Associates, to lobby public officials on their behalf are required to have an up-to-date lobby registration on file with the State of Michigan Bureau of Elections. Amendments are needed whenever there are changes to the information on file including the organization’s name, address, and/or signatory (the individual who certifies all information is accurate and who is the point person for the state and Karoub regarding all lobby registration and reporting activites). Please contact Karoub Associates to update this information.
