offered the following invocation:
Loving and gracious God, Creator
of all that is good, we praise and thank You for all the blessings we receive
each day.
Today we acknowledge the men and
women who generously serve our country as public servants, as Senators of the
state of Michigan. We pray that all who serve our nation as leaders be always
mindful of the common good and the dignity of each and every person. Building a
future of freedom requires that we promote and uphold values that will benefit
those who reside in our state and provide resources to ensure them a peaceful
and promising life. Therefore we ask You, God, that You fill them with wisdom
as they make decisions that will impact our lives.
Inspired by
the life and example of others who have faithfully served, we use words
ascribed to a 12th century saint—Francis of Assisi—to guide our living and
serving: Lord, make us instruments of your peace. Where there is hatred, let us
bring love; where there is injury, pardon; and where there’s doubt, true faith.
Where there’s despair in life, let us bring hope; where there is darkness,
light; and where there is sadness, joy.
We make our prayer with open
minds and hearts and willing and faithful spirits. Amen.
The
President, Lieutenant Governor Gilchrist, led the members of the Senate in
recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Messages from the Governor
The
following message from the Governor was received and read:
APPROPRIATIONS; SUPPLEMENTAL
June 24, 2019
Today I
have signed Enrolled Senate Bill 150. This bill provides needed funding to
ensure a complete Census count, implement the automatic voter registration and
expanded absentee voting provisions of Proposal 3, and to compensate people for
the years they were wrongly imprisoned, to list only a few.
The
bill also contains an unconstitutional and unenforceable directive to the
Auditor General to audit the Department of State as it rolls out automatic
voter registration and expanded absentee voting, rather than after the roll-out
is complete. Section 105 contains a net $0 appropriation to the Auditor
General, which is a placeholder used to add boilerplate language that instructs
the Auditor General to do something specific. That boilerplate is in section
421: it requires the Auditor General to “conduct an audit to determine the
department of state’s compliance with section 441 of this part”—the section
appropriating funds to implement automatic voter registration and expanded
absentee voting—“by the end of the 2018-2019 fiscal year.”
The
Michigan Constitution of 1963 created the Auditor General and gave it certain
limited powers, including the power to conduct “post audits” both of financial
transactions and of the performance of the state and its agencies-a “post audit”
being an audit that is conducted after
the conclusion of the fiscal year or program being examined. The Constitution
also stated that the Auditor General “shall be assigned no duties other than
those specified” in section 53 of article 4. Thus, the Auditor General has no
role auditing an ongoing program during the current fiscal year. Because
section 421 of Enrolled Senate Bill 150 requires the Auditor General to “conduct
an audit...by the end of the 2018-19 fiscal year,” it is unconstitutional.
I welcome the accountability afforded by an audit,
including an audit of the program at issue here. Nevertheless, the Auditor
General may only conduct an audit at the constitutionally appropriate time. I
therefore invoke the authority given to the governor in section 19 of article 5
of the Constitution to “disapprove any distinct item or items appropriating
moneys in any appropriation bill,” and veto the relevant lines in section 105
of Enrolled Senate Bill 150 and any boilerplate pertaining to those lines including
section 421.
Sincerely,
Gretchen
Whitmer
Governor
