Senate receives four executive orders from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer; referred to government operations committee
Summary
The Senate recorded receipt of four executive orders from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer — two emergency declarations and two suspensions related to motor carriers — and referred them to the committee on government operations for review.
The Michigan Senate recorded receipt of four executive orders transmitted from Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s office, a Senate staff member announced. The orders listed were Executive Order 20252 (declaration of state of emergency), Executive Order 20253 (amendment to that declaration), Executive Order 20254 (suspension of rules for motor carriers or motor drivers during the state of emergency) and Executive Order 20255 (an amendment to the suspension affecting motor drivers and carriers).
A staff member read the executive-order notices into the record, and the presiding secretary stated that, pursuant to Senate rules, the executive orders would be referred to the committee on government operations. The transcript records the referral but does not include committee response, legislative analysis, or details from the text of the executive orders themselves.
The referral places responsibility for initial legislative review with the government operations committee; the transcript does not specify timelines or whether committee staff will prepare summaries or hold hearings.
