The resolution, introduced by a group of representatives, directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to present nine bills to the Governor that were passed by both houses of the Legislature and ordered enrolled in December 2024. This action follows a ruling by the Court of Claims, which emphasized that the Michigan Constitution mandates the presentation of all bills passed by the legislature to the Governor, allowing her the required 14 days to review them before they can become law. The court's decision clarified that the House does not have the discretion to withhold these bills.
The resolution also addresses a previous House Resolution adopted on March 12, 2025, which was seen as an attempt by the Republican Caucus to circumvent the court's ruling and the constitutional requirement. The current resolution asserts that it reflects the will of all elected members of the House, rather than just the Republican Caucus, and calls for compliance with the constitutional mandate to present the nine outstanding bills to the Governor. Copies of the resolution are to be transmitted to key legislative leaders and the Governor.
