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 initiative would repeal a law Whitmer used to issue many COVID-19 restrictions early in the pandemic.
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.
MI House will meet to approve veto-proof limits on emergency powers
