Speaker Matt Hall, a prominent figure in Michigan's legislative landscape, recently shared his views and initiatives on Twitter regarding regulatory oversight and transparency. His tweets highlight efforts to address agency rulemaking and earmark transparency within the state.
On June 4, 2025, Speaker Matt Hall addressed the issue of agency rulemaking in Michigan. He stated that "After courts curtailed JCAR’s ability to oversee agency rulemaking, departments imposed binding regulations without oversight." He emphasized the commitment of himself and Michigan Republicans to establish a new legislative committee aimed at blocking or amending potentially harmful rules, thereby ensuring lawmakers have substantial input.
The following day, on June 5, 2025, Hall announced a significant development under his leadership concerning fiscal transparency. He tweeted that "Under my leadership, Michigan’s House unanimously passed a historic new standard for earmark transparency." This initiative mandates public posting of all earmarks to eliminate hidden agendas and backroom deals. Hall urged the Senate to follow suit in promoting this level of transparency for Michiganders.
