Summary — HR 105 (House Resolution to censure Rep. Josh Schriver)

Purpose

HR 105 is a Michigan House resolution that formally censures Representative Josh Schriver (66th House District) for public statements made in his official capacity that the resolution says promote the “great replacement” conspiracy theory and undermine constitutional principles and public confidence in the legislature.

Key provisions

Finds that on May 1, 2025, Rep. Schriver made floor statements asserting that growing foreign‑born populations (from Asia, Africa, Latin America) threaten “the American way of life,” language the resolution characterizes as invoking the “great replacement” theory.

Asserts those statements are inconsistent with:

Constitutional principles (cites the Fourteenth Amendment),
The Member’s oath of office (Michigan Const. art. XI, §1), and
House ethical rules (Standing Rules, Rule 74(6)–(8)) requiring Members to maintain integrity and not engage in conduct that materially impairs public confidence in the House.

Concludes Rep. Schriver “has conducted acts inconsistent with the trust and duties of a state Representative” and orders that he is hereby censured by the Michigan House of Representatives.

Directs that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to Representative Schriver.

Who is affected

Primary subject: Representative Josh Schriver (66th District).

Secondary effects: the Michigan House institution (reputational impact), Schriver’s constituents, and broader public discourse concerning immigrant and minority communities referenced in the findings.

The resolution is a formal disciplinary rebuke; it does not by itself remove a Member from office or impose criminal penalties.

Procedural / timeline notes

Introduced: August 28, 2025 (per the provided bill header).

Status shown as: referred to Committee on Government Operations.

The supplied legislative-action entries are inconsistent and include entries showing the measure placed on calendars and “adopted” on various dates (including 2025‑09‑02 and earlier dates in spring 2025). These mixed entries appear to conflate records from multiple, unrelated resolutions in other states.

Sponsors listed in the provided packet include several names; primary sponsors shown include Andy Biggs and others (note: these names appear inconsistent with a single-state Michigan House file and may reflect conflated documents).

Impact and limitations

A censure is a formal, public rebuke that signals the House’s disapproval; it can damage a Member’s reputation and political standing but generally carries no direct legal penalty or automatic removal from office.

Any additional disciplinary actions (committee removal, fines, or further sanctions) would require separate House action under its rules.

Important caveat

The document set supplied contains multiple, unrelated resolution texts (including materials from Illinois, Hawaii, and Georgia) and an inconsistent legislative history. For authoritative status, text, and final actions on the Michigan censure, consult the official Michigan House Journal and the House Clerk’s records.
