Notes

This is the version that fixes the chain: Oct. 14, 2020 original (Ex. MI-054), Apr. 13, 2021 extension, May 24, 2021 amendment; the Michigan Supreme Court's Oct. 2, 2020 decision (Ex. MI-049) had ended the Governor's workplace-safeguard orders (Exs. MI-027 to MI-046) that these rules re-imposed.

Retrieval note

The extension is proved by Rule 1a's recital.
