MI House Meeting To Approve Veto-Proof Limits On Emergency Powers

Alec Gerstenberger / WKAR-MSU The Michigan House is meeting Wednesday for a one-day session to adopt a petition initiative to reign in Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s emergency powers.

The Michigan Supreme Court already struck down the 1945 law she cited and ruled the governor has to seek periodic re-authorization of emergency orders from the Legislature under a separate statute. Republican leaders plan to adopt the initiative rather than let it go before voters. The Senate approved the initiative last week. The vote in the Republican-controlled House is expected to play out the same way.
