LANSING, MI - One of laws used to justify Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s emergency powers is a step closer to a potential repeal.
The anti-executive power group Unlock Michigan submitted more than half a million signatures in October in a petition drive aimed at undoing the 1945 law Whitmer used to issue executive orders last year.
The signatures were deemed valid by the state’s elections bureau, according to a Monday report by the Secretary of State, meaning certification is right around the corner.

A circuitous legal attempt to block a Republican-supported ballot initiative aimed at repealing the governor’s emergency powers has resulted in a Court of Claims lawsuit being filed against Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.
While focused on negating ballot petition signatures collected by Unlock Michigan, opposition group Keep Michigan Safe claims Benson has failed to properly establish “uniform standards for the verification of ballot question petition signatures” as required by a Michigan election law that took effect in 2000.
