LANSING, Mich. — Senate Republicans, lead by Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, will hold a press conference at the state Capitol immediately following a senate session Thursday.
They plan to discuss action taken during the session in addition to what efforts the Legislature is taking to work with Governor Gretchen Whitmer on passing legislation to help those impacted by COVID-19.
After a recent supreme court ruling overturned Governor Whitmer’s executive orders, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) reinstated much of them in the interest of public health. The new executive orders issued by the MDHHS will expire automatically at the end of the month however, and it will be up to the House and Senate to work with Gov. Whitmer to put regulations in place to combat COVID-19 before then.
