- Whereas, Members of the Michigan Senate must defend the Legislature’s role to appropriate moneys and as a co-equal branch of government in Michigan’s constitutional system; now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate, That the Senate Majority Leader, in his official capacity, is authorized to commence legal action on behalf of the Senate, defending the enforceability and constitutionality of Public Act 2 of 2021 and Public Act 3 of 2021, and to take all necessary steps incidental thereto, including, but not limited to, the pursuing or defending any appeals.
