LANSING, Mich. — Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed Executive Order 2020-113, continuing to allow certain state administrative hearings to be held by video conference or phone in place of in-person hearings, the governor's office said.
“Michigan has taken some big steps in the past week, but social distancing is still the best tool we have to fight COVID-19,” said Gov. Whitmer. “That is why it is important to ensure we can continue to allow certain agencies and commissions to conduct their important work remotely during this ongoing crisis. I urge all Michiganders to work together and do their part to fight COVID-19.”
The order will continue to allow the Michigan Employment Relations Commission, Unemployment Insurance Agency and other hearings to take place through video conference and phone in place of in-person hearings.
Additionally, the order also temporarily allows e-signatures in place of written signatures on any related documents.
