LANSING, Mich., July 31, 2024 — In an opinion released today, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that adopting an initiated law and amending it in the same legislative session is unconstitutional. After the ruling was announced, Speaker of the House Joe Tate (D-Detroit) issued the following statement:
“The Michigan Supreme Court has provided clarity regarding the process for a citizen-initiated law, and voters in Michigan now have the certainty they deserve when it comes to bringing a matter before the Legislature.
