House Joint Resolution M, introduced by Rep. Thompson on August 21, 2025, proposes an amendment to the Michigan state constitution that mandates the enactment of certain state budget bills by a specified date. If these budget bills are not passed by the deadline, the resolution stipulates that the compensation of both state legislators and the governor will be suspended until the bills are enacted. The amendment seeks to ensure timely budget approvals and accountability among state officials regarding fiscal responsibilities.

The resolution outlines specific amendments to sections of Articles IV, V, and IX of the state constitution. It defines the terms "applicable date," "enacted," and "salary" to clarify the conditions under which the compensation suspension would take effect. The proposed amendment will be submitted to the voters of Michigan at the next general election, allowing the public to decide on this significant change to the state's budgetary process and legislative accountability.
