The '''Michigan House of Representatives''' is the [[lower house]] of the [[Michigan Legislature]]. There are 110 members, each of whom is elected from [[Electoral district|constituencies]] having approximately 77,000 to 91,000 residents, based on population figures from the [[2020 United States census|2020 U.S. census]]. Its composition, powers and duties are established in Article IV of the [[Constitution of Michigan|Michigan Constitution]].

Members are elected in even-numbered years and take office at 12 p.m. (EST) on January 1<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?mcl-Article-XI-2|title=Michigan Legislature - Article XI § 2|website=legislature.mi.gov|language=en|access-date=2018-10-16}}</ref> following the November general election. Concurrently with the [[Michigan Senate]], the House first convenes on the second Wednesday in January, according to the state constitution.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?mcl-Article-IV-13|title=Michigan Legislature - Article IV § 13|website=legislature.mi.gov|language=en|access-date=2018-10-16}}</ref> Each member is [[term limits in the United States|limited]] to serving at most six terms of two years, but may not serve more than twelve years combined across the Michigan House and Michigan Senate.<ref>{{Cite web | title = Michigan voters approve Proposal 1 to modify term limits, require disclosures |last = Hendrickson | first = Clara | date = November 9, 2022 | work = Detroit Free Press | url = https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2022/11/09/proposal-1-michigan-results/69599488007/ | access-date = 2023-08-30}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?mcl-Article-IV-54|title=Michigan Legislature - Article IV § 54|website=legislature.mi.gov|language=en|access-date=2023-08-29}}</ref> The House meets in the north wing of the [[Michigan State Capitol|Michigan Capitol]] in [[Lansing, Michigan|Lansing]]. The [[Michigan Republican Party|Republican Party]] currently has a majority in the chamber.

In recent years, the Republican majority in the House has been widely attributed to Republican [[gerrymandering]], implemented by the legislature after the [[2010 United States census|2010 census]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-09-25 |title=In Michigan, an effort to take politics out of redistricting |url=https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/in-michigan-an-effort-to-take-politics-out-of-redistricting |access-date=2022-11-12 |website=PBS NewsHour |language=en-us}}</ref> In many legislative elections since then, the [[Michigan Democratic Party|Democratic Party]] has won the popular vote, but nonetheless failed to attain a majority. However, after the passage of [[2018 Michigan Proposal 2|Proposal 2]], a 2018 ballot initiative, redistricting in the state was instead delegated to a nonpartisan commission, which drew new maps after the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]]. Aided by the redrawn district lines, in [[2022 Michigan House of Representatives election|2022]], Democrats won a majority in the House for the first time since 2008. Then, in [[2024 Michigan House of Representatives election|2024]], Republicans took back the House, defeating four Democratic incumbents to achieve a 58-52 seat majority.

==Qualifications==
According to the constitution of Michigan, to be eligible for the office of State Representative a person must be a citizen of the United States, at least 21 years of age, and a registered and qualified elector of the district he or she wishes to represent by the filing deadline.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?mcl-Article-IV-7|title=Michigan Legislature - Article IV § 7|website=legislature.mi.gov|language=en|access-date=2023-08-29}}</ref>

==Title==
Members of the Michigan House of Representatives are commonly referred to as representatives. Because this mirrors the terminology used to describe [[member of Congress|members of Congress]], constituents and news media, abiding by the [[AP Stylebook|Associated Press guidelines for journalists]], often refer to members as state representatives to avoid confusion with their federal counterparts. As elected officials, members of the Michigan House of Representatives also receive the courtesy title of ''[[The Honourable|the Honorable]]'' (abbreviated to ''Hon.'' or ''Hon'ble'') for life.

The chief sergeant and the assistant sergeants are empowered as law enforcement officers by statute.<ref>[http://legislature.mi.gov/(S(0a34cs3egixvyq45gvpnr445))/mileg.aspx?page=getobject&objectname=mcl-Act-185-of-2001 Legislative Sergeant at Arms Police Powers Act, 185 PA 2001, MCL 4.381-4.382]</ref> The sergeants at arms have authority to serve subpoenas and warrants

==Committees==
Article IV of the [[Michigan Constitution]] authorizes each house of the Legislature to "establish the committees necessary for the conduct of its business."<ref>[http://legislature.mi.gov/(S(rxj4yjjifvjjtoezw2qoml3t))/mileg.aspx?page=getObject&objectName=mcl-Article-IV-17 Michigan Constitution: Article IV, § 17 Committees; record of votes, public inspection, notice of hearings.]</ref> The House does much of its work in committees, including the review of bills, executive oversight, and the budget and appropriations process. Members of committees and their chairmen are appointed by the Speaker.<ref name="HouseRules" /><ref>[http://legislature.mi.gov/(S(nuuyf33rkgvn1jjftrybw045))/documents/2013-2014/Journal/House/pdf/2013-HJ-01-24-005.pdf Journal of the House of Representatives: 97th Legislature—Regular Session of 2013, No. 5 (pg. 77-78)]</ref> Bills are referred to a committee by the Speaker, and the chairman of a committee sets its agenda, including whether or not a bill will be reported to the full House. The Committee on Appropriations divides its work among subcommittees ordinarily structured by state department or major budget area.

There are also four statutory standing committees: Joint Committee on Administrative Rules; House Fiscal Agency Governing Committee; Legislative Council; Michigan Capitol Committee. Currently, it would appear, the House committees meet on a 'year by year' basis. A full list may be accessed here.<ref>{{citation |url=https://house.mi.gov/MHRPublic/standingcommittee.aspx|title=Standing Committees| access-date=November 27, 2020}}</ref>

Unlike the [[Michigan Senate|Senate]], the House does not utilize the [[committee of the whole]].

The House Fiscal Agency is a nonpartisan agency within the House of Representatives which provides nonpartisan expertise to members of the House Appropriations Committee, as well as all other Members of the House. Fiscal analysts review the governor's budget recommendation, review and prepare budget bills, supplemental appropriations, and certain transfer requests, provide fiscal impact statements on legislative proposals, monitor state and national situations that may have budgetary implications, research and analyze fiscal issues, prepare reports and documents to assist legislative deliberations, and prepare special reports at the request of Representatives. The economist analyzes legislation related to tax and lottery issues, respond to Representatives' inquiries regarding state tax revenue, revenue sharing, and other economic issues, monitors state revenue, tracks state, and national economic conditions, and prepares reports on revenue and other economic issues. Legislative analysts prepare concise, nonpartisan summaries and analyses of bills. Summaries, completed prior to committee deliberations, describe how a bill would change current law, including any fiscal impact. Analyses are prepared for bills reported to the full House from committee and include, with the summary information, a description of the problem being addressed, arguments for and against the bill, and positions of interested organizations.<ref>[http://house.mi.gov/hfa/about.asp About Us :: House Fiscal Agency]</ref>

The agency is governed by a six-member board consisting of the chairman and minority vice chairman of the Appropriations Committee, the Speaker of the House and the minority leader, and the majority and minority floor leaders. The governing committee is responsible for HFA oversight, establishment of operating procedures, and appointment of the HFA director. The director is one of three state officials charged with annually forecasting the state's revenues at the Consensus Revenue Estimating Conferences, which are held at least twice each year.<ref>[http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(awghemmkhsmxut555uhjzkar))/mileg.aspx?page=getobject&objectname=mcl-18-1367b&query=on Michigan Legislature: Management and Budget Act: MCL 18.1367b Revenue estimating conference; principals; forecasts.]</ref>

In January 1993, a front-page story in ''[[The Detroit News]]'' detailed a massive scandal in the House Fiscal Agency. For six years, the agency's [[Imprest system|imprest account]] was used to finance credit card payments, vacations, and property tax payments as well as payments to HFA employees and contract workers for non-existent workers. The scandal threatened to collapse the joint leadership agreement between the Democrats and Republicans brought about by a 55-55 partisan split in the House from the 1992 election. It resulted in Representative [[Dominic J. Jacobetti]] of [[Negaunee, Michigan|Negaunee in the Upper Peninsula]], the longest-serving Member in history, losing his position as chairman of the powerful Appropriations Committee; the conviction and imprisonment of HFA Director John Morberg; and the resignation of state representative [[Stephen Shepich]] as part of a [[plea bargain]].<ref>[http://www.gongwer.com/programming/blogindex.cfm?postid=901#sthash.BvI5M0BH.dpbs Gongwer News Service Blog: The Scandal, 20 Years Later]</ref>
