Whereas, Under state statute, gasoline sold in Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne counties cannot exceed 7.0 psi vapor pressure during the summer months, which, under current market conditions, may constrain fuel supply and contribute to higher fuel prices; and

Whereas, In response to increasing fuel costs, Governor Whitmer declared a state of energy emergency across Michigan in Executive Order 2026-4, which temporarily suspended the state’s fuel requirements to the extent allowed by a federal fuel waiver previously issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); and

Whereas, Executive Order 2026-4 expires on July 1, 2026, and, under current market conditions, resumed enforcement of the state’s fuel regulations may constrain fuel supply and contribute to higher prices and reduced availability; and

Whereas, Pursuant to section 3 of the Declaration of State of Energy Emergency Act, 1982 PA 191, MCL 10.83, the Legislature may approve an extension of a state of energy emergency for a specific number of days; and

Whereas, It is in the best interests of the state of Michigan that this extension be approved in order to avoid additional pressure on fuel prices and avoid driving up costs for Michigan families; now, therefore, be it
