A $4.2 billion plan to fund various COVID-19 response and relief measures while tying some of the money to policy bills limiting the administration’s authority to issue pandemic-related orders advanced through the House Wednesday afternoon.
The spending plan, the bulk of which comes from federal funds appropriated to Michigan by Congress, cleared the Senate on Tuesday and will soon head to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s desk. Whitmer, who was not involved with the negotiations, has advocated for the Legislature to advocate all of the federal spending available to the state and has previously vetoed efforts to curb her administration’s powers.
