Joint Committee on Administrative Rules #

House Website / Senate Website #

Membership / membership; rulemaking process; documents; reports; regulatory plans; proposed rules; impact statements; hearing schedule and notices; and meeting schedule, agendas, testimony, minutes, recordings, and livestream available on website.

Purpose/Jurisdiction #

“The Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) is a statutorily created bipartisan legislative committee, comprised of five house and five senate members. JCAR is responsible for legislative oversight of administrative rules proposed or adopted by state agencies. JCAR may do the following:

  1. “The committee may meet during a session of the legislature and during an interim between sessions. MCL 24.235
  2. “JCAR may hold a hearing on a rule transmitted to the committee. MCL 24.235
  3. “JCAR may hold a hearing on any rule previously filed with the secretary of state. MCL 24.235
  4. “JCAR may hold a hearing on any other matter the committee considers appropriate. MCL 24.235
  5. “After receipt of a notice of public hearing, JCAR may meet to consider the proposed rule, take testimony, and provide the agency with the committee’s informal response to the rule. MCL 24.242(5)

“The committee maintains a nonpartisan staff in downtown Lansing that is responsible for processing rules transmitted to the committee by state agencies, scheduling committee hearings at the direction of the committee chair, providing members with the background and legal analysis of the rules, and reviewing proposed legislation to determine whether rulemaking authority is, or should be, necessary to carry out the legislative intent of proposed legislation” (Senate committee website).


Legislative Council #

House Website / Senate Website #

Membership / membership; agencies; and meeting schedule and minutes available on website.

Purpose/Jurisdiction #

“The Legislative Council is a bipartisan, bicameral body of legislators established in Article IV, Section 15 of the Constitution of Michigan. The Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader each appoint six members of their chamber. At least two of each body must be members of the minority party. These leaders also appoint three alternates.

“The Constitution directs the legislature to appropriate funds for the Legislative Council’s operations which include providing bill drafting, research, and other services to the members of the legislature” (Senate committee website).
