Senator Brown offered the following concurrent resolution:
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 18.
A concurrent resolution to disapprove Executive Order No. 2009-36, setting forth changes in the organization of the executive branch.
Whereas, Article 5, Section 2 of the Constitution of the state of Michigan provides that the Governor may make changes in the organization of the executive branch or in the assignment of functions within the executive units. Where these changes require the force of law, they must be set forth in executive orders that are submitted to the Legislature. The Legislature shall have 60 calendar days of a regular session to disapprove each executive order by a resolution concurred in by a majority of the members elected and serving in each house of the Legislature; and
Whereas, Governor Granholm has issued an executive order proposing the reorganization of the executive branch relative to the Department of Education; the Department of Energy, Labor, and Economic Growth; the Department of Information Technology; the Department of Management and Budget; the Department of Natural Resources; and the Department of Treasury and the abolition of the Department of History, Arts, and Libraries. Executive Order No. 2009-36 was signed on July 13, 2009; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we hereby disapprove Executive Order No. 2009-36, issued July 13, 2009, proposing the reorganization of the executive branch of government relative to the Department of Education; the Department of Energy, Labor, and Economic Growth; the Department of Information Technology; the Department of Management and Budget; the Department of Natural Resources; and the Department of Treasury and the abolition of the Department of History, Arts, and Libraries; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the Governor.
