In response to the extension of Governor Whitmer’s “Stay Home Stay Safe” Executive Order, Michigan’s Senate held a special session Friday afternoon, and passed a bill to repeal the 1945 Emergency Powers of the Governor Act, which Whitmer has used as her basis to act unilaterally, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield announced earlier in the week that the legislature would reconvene, to review Whitmer’s actions.
