Penalty
What it required
Gave the Governor's emergency executive orders the force and effect of law and charged the Governor with 'coping with dangers to this state or the people of this state presented by a disaster or emergency' (subsection (1)); a declaration continues 28 days and thereafter only with legislative extension (subsections (3), (4)), the limit the Supreme Court enforced on October 2, 2020 (Ex. MI-049). Character as recorded: statutory_authority (enabling power; binds through the orders issued under it).
Retrieval noteThe Legislature extended the EMA declaration once, to April 30, 2020 (SCR 24 of April 7, 2020; see Ex. MI-013). The executive orders of March 10 to April 30, 2020 rested on both Acts; those of May 1 to October 2, 2020 rested on the EPGA and on the Governor's redeclarations under the EMA that the Supreme Court held unauthorized.
