Lansing, MI – State Representative Bronna Kahle joined the majority of her legislative colleagues in approving the Unlock Michigan citizens’ initiative, repealing the 1945 Emergency Powers of the Governor Act that Governor Gretchen Whitmer used to declare an extended state of emergency during the COVID-19 pandemic.
With approval from the Legislature, the initiative is now state law and does not require the governor’s signature, nor can it be vetoed.
Kahle said she is pleased to support the initiative because it restores the balance of powers in the state of Michigan and in doing so, restores the people’s seat at the table when decisions are being made that affect the lives of everyone across the state.
The initiative was approved with a vote of 60 – 48 in the House and 20 – 15 in the Senate.
