Senate receives multiple gubernatorial appointments and refers them to committee on government operations
Summary
The Michigan Senate received a set of appointments submitted by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to boards and commissions and referred the nominations to committee for consideration under Senate rules.
The Michigan Senate received a package of appointments from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to multiple state boards and commissions and referred the nominations to the Committee on Government Operations and Resolutions for consideration.
On the Senate floor a member announced appointments to the Michigan Aeronautics Commission (Russ Kalina and Rick Fiddler); the Michigan Apple Committee (Kimberly Croft and Caleb Colter); the Michigan Carrot Commission (Craig Brandt); the Central Michigan University Board of Trustees (David McKee); and several additional boards including the Child Abuse Neglect Prevention Board, the Board of Examiners in Mortuary Science, the Michigan Board of Nursing Home Administrators, the Organized Retail Crime Advisory Board, the Michigan Board of Real Estate Brokers and Salespersons, the Ski Area Safety Board, the Michigan Tax Tribunal, and the Underground Storage Tank Authority Board of Directors.
Why this matters: gubernatorial appointments populate advisory boards and regulatory bodies that oversee licensing, safety, agricultural promotion, higher education governance and other state functions. Referral to the Committee on Government Operations and Resolutions starts the committee review and confirmation process recorded in Senate procedure.
The Senate record does not include committee hearings or confirmation votes for the nominees; the announcement on the floor was the formal receipt and referral of the appointments.
