EXECUTIVE ORDER
No. 2022-12
Michigan Opioids Task Force
Department of Health and Human Services
The epidemic of opioid abuse has plagued Michigan for years. While more recent response efforts have made some headway in combating this epidemic, it remains a significant public-health crisis, afflicting Michigan residents of all backgrounds, age groups, and income levels.
Michigan has taken a coordinated and comprehensive approach to combating the opioid epidemic. Fighting an epidemic of this size and impact has required a coordinated and comprehensive approach: one that identifies and confronts the full scope of the epidemic’s root causes and contributing factors in Michigan; that pools, optimizes, and augments the efforts and resources on all levels—public and private; local, state, and federal—that are available to address the epidemic; and that raises public awareness of the epidemic, its causes and effects, the resources available to those afflicted by it, and the actions that can be taken to combat it.
We have also vigorously pursued the companies and individuals who created the crisis by putting corporate profits ahead of human welfare. This strategy has resulted in several large settlements against opioid manufacturers, as well as those who distributed the drugs that created such harm in our communities.
On August 21, 2019,
Executive Order 2019-18 established the Michigan Opioids Task Force to inform
the state’s strategy for addressing the opioid epidemic. Progress has been
made, but much more remains to be done. The Task Force must be updated to
optimize its work and to allow it to efficiently receive and distribute
resources.
Section 51 of article 4 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 declares the public health and general welfare of the people of the State of Michigan as matters of primary public concern.
Section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the State of Michigan in the governor.
Section 8 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 places each principal department of state government under the supervision of the governor unless otherwise provided.
Section 8 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 also obligates the governor to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.
Acting pursuant to the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:
1. Creation of the Michigan Opioids Task Force
