Speaker of the House Lee Chatfield (R-Levering) announced several changes to the membership of committees this week.

The changes are as follows:

- Representative Luke Meerman (R-Coopersville) will replace Speaker Pro Tem Wentworth on the Ways and Means Committee
- Representative Kyra Bolden (D-Southfield) will replace Representative Neeley on the Ways and Means Committee
