Notes
Primary order: Ex. MI-042 (MDHHS, Aug. 3, 2020). This release also records that the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan denied a temporary restraining order against the order in August 2020. No separate MDARD 'Emergency Order' of Aug. 3, 2020 on migrant housing was located; MDARD's role was as licensing agency for agricultural labor camps (MCL 333.12401 et seq.) and co-announcer.
