December 30, 2020
Today, I signed Enrolled Senate Bills 1251 and 1252, amending the Michigan Strategic Fund Act and the Michigan Trust Fund Act, which will allow the State to fulfill its obligation to pay $600 million in settlement of the civil Flint water cases pending in various federal and state courts. This settlement is historic for a number of reasons.
First, it is an important step forward in the long process of helping Flint heal and making amends to the people of Flint who have faced so much uncertainty since the day their water supply was switched to the Flint River on April 25, 2014. What happened in Flint should not have happened, and financial compensation through this settlement is just one of the many ways we will continue to show our support for the City of Flint and its families.
Second, the settlement required the bipartisan cooperation of the legislature and I am pleased to note that the two Senate Bills that I signed today—one sponsored by a Democrat and one a Republican—had overwhelming support in both the Senate and the House. It is a testament of what can be accomplished when we work together.
Third, it is part of a comprehensive settlement program that was the product of intense negotiations with attorneys representing the plaintiffs. This settlement sets aside nearly 80% of the available relief for the benefit of the children of Flint, who were the most vulnerable when the water supply was switched to the Flint River.
Fourth, it brings to a conclusion complex litigation spanning thousands of individual claims and over a hundred cases that would have likely continued for years winding through the court system, leaving the people of Flint with more uncertainty, anxiety, and doubt about their futures.
Finally, while
this settlement is among the largest in the State of Michigan’s history, it is
still fiscally prudent and sound for the State’s economic stability, growth,
and credit worthiness.
I hope that, drawing on the determination and resolve that was required to achieve this settlement, we can collaborate on other important matters facing the State in these unprecedented times with a spirit of genuine cooperation for the benefit of our citizens on every front.
Respectfully,
Gretchen Whitmer
Governor
Veto Messages
Subsequent to the final adjournment of the Regular Session of the Legislature, the following message from the Governor was received:
Appropriations;
supplemental; provide for
2019-2020 and 2020-2021 fiscal years
December 29, 2020
Heading into the final days of this legislative session, I urged the Legislature to pass a limited supplemental that was laser-focused on relief for working families and small business owners and the state’s public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic. While this bill delivers on some of those promises, it includes a number of items that strayed from that principle.
It was incumbent upon all of us to avoid the temptation to spend limited dollars on anything outside of our basic public health needs and an economic stimulus. Unfortunately, the Legislature decided at the eleventh hour to scrap our collaborative process and included a number of projects that we don’t have the revenue for at this time, along with favors for special interests. For that reason, I have disapproved 11 items pursuant to article 5, section 19 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963. The specific item vetoes are detailed in the attached copy of the bill that has been filed with the Secretary of State.
To provide direction regarding the implementation of this appropriations act, I note the following:
Article 4, section 22 of the Michigan Constitution provides: “All legislation shall be by bill and may originate in either house.” Moreover, article 4, section 33 of the Michigan Constitution provides, in part: “Every bill passed by the legislature shall be presented to the governor before it becomes law . . . .” Boilerplate that purports to authorize legislation other than by bill impermissibly skirts the bill requirement of section 22 and the presentment requirement of section 33. For that reason, sections 203 and 1203 are unenforceable.
Article 4, section 24 of the Michigan Constitution provides, in part: “No law shall embrace more than one object, which shall be expressed in its title.” Boilerplate that requires a state department to create a program without providing an appropriation for that purpose is not germane to this supplemental appropriations bill. For that reason, section 502 is unenforceable.
Thank you for your attention to these matters.
Sincerely,
Gretchen Whitmer
Governor
This bill was signed by the Governor on December 29, 2020, at 8:50 a.m. (Filed with the Secretary of State on December 29, 2020, at 12:46 p.m.) and assigned Public Act No. 257.
HEALTH OCCUPATIONS; PSYCHOLOGY INTERJURISDICTIONAL COMPACT; ENACT
December 30, 2020
Today I am returning Enrolled Senate Bill 758 and Enrolled House Bill 4042 to you without my approval. These bills would bind Michigan to the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact and the Nurse Licensure Compact, respectively.
The Constitution of 1963 provides that “[t]he public health and general welfare of the people of the state are hereby declared to be matters of primary public concern. The legislature shall pass suitable laws for the protection and promotion of the public health.” Art. 4, sec. 51. While I value interstate cooperation, especially around issues that are peculiarly interstate in nature, these compacts require Michigan to cede its sovereign interest in regulating health professions to an outside body.
Forfeiting our prerogative as a state to set the standard of care required of nurses and psychologists practicing in our state would violate the command of section 51 of article 4. I am therefore vetoing this bill. I look forward to continuing to work with you to expand access to quality health care for Michiganders.
Respectfully,
Gretchen Whitmer
Governor
This bill was returned from the Governor on December 30, 2020, at 4:16 p.m.
CHILDREN: PROTECTION; OFFICE OF THE CHILDREN'S OMBUDSMAN;
TRANSFER TO THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL
December 30, 2020
Today I am returning Enrolled Senate Bill 983 to you without my approval.
The Office of the Children’s Ombudsman is an autonomous agency within the Department of Technology, Management, and Budget (DTMB) that has the critical mission of improving child welfare through legislative advocacy, investigations, review of Department of Health and Human Services policies and practices, and even legal action. This bill would transfer the Office of the Children’s Ombudsman from the Department of Technology, Management, and Budget (DTMB) to the Legislative Council.
Moving this critical accountability and advocacy resource for children to the Legislative Council would be a mistake, for several reasons. First, DTMB’s resources and institutional expertise in holding state agencies accountable is unmatched. Second, it would make little sense to locate an independent agency designed for “legislative advocacy” within the legislature. Finally, the powers of the Ombudsman are fundamentally executive in nature, not legislative .
For the foregoing reasons, I am vetoing this bill. Nevertheless, I look forward to working with the legislature to improve Michigan’s child welfare system, including by ensuring that the Office of the Children’s Ombudsman has the support necessary to advocate effectively on behalf of Michigan’s most vulnerable children.
Respectfully,
Gretchen Whitmer
Governor
This bill was returned from the Governor on December 30, 2020, at 4:16 p.m.
HEALTH: DISEASES; EMERGENCY ORDERS ISSUED IN RESPONSE TO AN EPIDEMIC; PROVIDE FOR TIME LIMITS ON UNLESS EXTENSION IS APPROVED BY THE LEGISLATURE AND PROHIBIT RESTRICTING CERTAIN RELIGIOUS PRACTICES IN AND EXEMPT BUSINESS FROM CERTAIN VIOLATIONS OF THE EMERGENCY ORDERS
December 30, 2020
Today I am returning Enrolled Senate Bill 1253 to you without my approval.
Following the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic, the Legislature granted the then-equivalent of the Director of the Department of Health and Human Services broad power to issue orders to contain and eradicate epidemics. This bill would create a 28-day limit on those epidemic orders. Unfortunately, epidemics are not limited to 28 days. We should not so limit our ability to respond to them.
Over the past 9 months, the Department of Health and Human Services has served a crucial role in limiting the spread of the deadly coronavirus disease. In accordance with the advice of scientists and medical experts, they have acted swiftly to save lives by requiring the wearing of face masks and prohibiting gatherings associated with elevated risk of COVID-19 transmission. This bill would unreasonably place an unscientific and arbitrary time limit on their ability to respond not only to this pandemic, but to future health emergencies.
My number one priority has always been the safety and wellbeing of the people of Michigan. We all want this pandemic to be over. Let’s do what needs to be done now so we can return to a strong economy and normal day-to-day activities. For the time being, we must continue to take precautions to keep ourselves and the people around us safe.
This bill would recklessly undermine the ability of the Department of Health and Human Services to stop the spread of this pandemic, putting the lives of countless Michiganders at risk. Therefore, I am vetoing it.
Respectfully,
Gretchen Whitmer
Governor

STATE FINANCING AND
MANAGEMENT; EMERGENCY
POWERS OF GOVERNOR ACT; REPEAL
December 30, 2020
I am vetoing Enrolled Senate Bill 857.
Respectfully,
Gretchen Whitmer
Governor
This bill was returned from the Governor on December 30, 2020, at 4:17 p.m.
PROPERTY TAX: PAYMENT IN LIEU
OF TAXES FOR CERTAIN
RENEWABLE ENERGY FACILITIES; PROVIDE FOR
December 30, 2020
Today I am returning Enrolled Senate Bills 1105 and 1106 to you without my approval.
These bills would exempt certain large-scale solar energy projects from property taxes and instead subject them to an annual payment in lieu of taxes equal to $4,000 per megawatt of nameplate capacity.
Creating taxation structures appropriate to solar energy projects is an important issue worthy of serious consideration. That is why the State Tax Commission (STC) convened a Solar Panel Ad Hoc Committee to produce a report that considers the issues involving statewide valuation and assessment of large-scale solar projects. The report and recommendation of that committee was presented at the meeting of the STC only two weeks ago.
Significantly, the exemptions provided by this bill would not take effect until the 2023 tax year—there was no reason to rush this to my desk. Because the legislature has not yet had the opportunity to consider the recommendations of the STC’s Solar Panel Ad Hoc Committee in formulating its approach to taxation of large-scale solar energy projects, I am vetoing this legislation.
Respectfully,
Gretchen Whitmer
Governor
These bills were returned from the Governor on December 30, 2020, at 4:18 p.m.
TORTS: LIABILITY; PANDEMIC HEALTH CARE IMMUNITY ACT; CREATE
December 30, 2020
Today I am returning Enrolled Senate Bill 1185 to you without my approval.
This bill would extend immunity for healthcare providers and facilities from negligence liability for any injury sustained by an individual in relation to the provision of COVID-19 related services, to cover the period from late October 2020 to mid-February 2021.
Earlier this year, I signed an executive order providing similar immunity protections to healthcare providers assisting with COVID-19 emergency response. That order was motivated by the unprecedented challenge of coping with a surging and completely novel pandemic. Later, the Legislature ratified that decision by enrolling HB 6159.
COVID-19 remains persistent and deadly. But we have learned lessons from the Spring 2020 surge and now have a roadmap for treating this disease. When a COVID-19 patient receives substandard care, they should not be deprived of their day in court.
Our frontline healthcare professionals are heroes, and they deserve our full support. That is why I have fought hard for hazard pay, to maintain a healthy supply of PPE, and for robust workplace protections. Immunity from liability, however, is no longer appropriate under the circumstances.
For the foregoing reasons, I am vetoing this legislation.
Respectfully,
Gretchen Whitmer
Governor
This bill was returned from the Governor on December 30, 2020, at 4:18 p.m.
CRIMINAL PROCEDURE: FORFEITURE; PUBLIC AND REGIONAL
AIRPORT AUTHORITIES; EXEMPT FROM CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS IN CERTAIN
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE RELATED CASES
December 30, 2020
Today I am returning Enrolled Senate Bill 761 to you without my approval. This bill would allow airport authorities to seize and forfeit money even when they are unable to tie that money to criminal activity.
Earlier this session, I signed Senate Bill 2 and House Bills 4001 and 4002, which passed with nearly unanimous support, to limit civil asset forfeiture for individuals who have not been convicted of a crime in order to increase property protections for citizens. This bill would begin to unwind that important progress. Law enforcement continues to have the power to seize money suspected of ties to criminal activity and to initiate forfeiture of that money when a criminal connection can be demonstrated.
For the foregoing reasons, I am vetoing this bill.
Respectfully,
Gretchen Whitmer
Governor
