Can you cite for us the statute for this “recommendation”?

I’ve been curious about where that one is

Michigan Emergency Powers act 302 of 1945. And Michigan Emergency Powers act of 1976.

Interestingly the 1976 law required the Governor to get legislative approval past 28 days. But a democrat judge there has ruled that the Governor did exceed her powers under the 1976 act but that since it was a separate act from the 1945 act that the full powers granted in 1945 still apply.

I think that's a bad ruling since the 1976 act was clearly meant to provide some legislative oversight of the powers in the 1945 act. But since the 1976 act didn't specifically amend the 1945 act, I guess it's up to the judges in the appeals court and state supreme court to decide.
