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. Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations, Senator Lauwers moved that the rule be suspended. The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor. The question being on the adoption of the resolution, Senator Ananich offered the following amendment: 1.
