“On this day that welcomes the coming solstice and ushers in the ensuing summer season…
…let us take this moment to rest our minds… to calm our hearts… and to still our busy souls…. so that we might pray in the tradition that is most familiar to us.
Spirit of the changing seasons….
Source that is beyond the containment of time and space…
We give thanks this day for the dawn of a new season… and for the opportunity and the invitation to change with it.
In this season of growth and becoming… broadening and flourishing… open our hearts to the ‘changing’ that also moves within us.
Where there is uncertainty let there also be clarity
Where there is ending let there also be beginning
Where there is restriction let there also liberation
And where there is despair let there also be Hope.
Let the turning of this season remind us that nothing is beyond change… and no one is beyond transformation.
…and no one is beyond restoration…. and nothing is beyond Hope.
May the beloved company of these lawmakers and those who make their work possible be blessed with Hope.
May the beloved community of those who call this great state of Michigan their home be blessed with Hope.
May all who toil and tire to create the more loving… just… peace filled… and inclusive world that we know could be… should be… and must be… be blessed with Hope…
And may it be so… Beloved…
…may it be so.”

EXECUTIVE ORDER
No. 2024-4
Gun Violence Prevention Task Force
Department of Health and Human Services
Gun violence is a uniquely American problem. In 2020, firearm-related incidents became the leading cause of death for all children and adolescents in the United States. Rates of gun violence represent an ongoing public health crisis, one disproportionately impacting low-income and vulnerable communities. We must act to save lives and protect public safety.
Michigan has one of the
highest rates of gun violence in the nation. Tragedies at Michigan State
University, Oxford High School and recently in Rochester Hills serve as just a
few sobering examples of what occurs when the root causes of gun violence are
not addressed. We must honor though action all those who have been harmed and
that we have lost throughout our state.
As a state, we have taken action to change laws and policy to address gun violence. We enacted commonsense legislation supported by a majority of Michiganders—background checks, safe storage laws, extreme risk protection orders, and stronger gun penalties for those convicted of domestic violence. Additionally, we dedicated millions of dollars in our balanced, bipartisan state budgets to school and community safety initiatives aimed at preventing future tragedies, as well as helping those impacted by gun violence heal. New offices have been formed and collaborations have begun, all with the goal of preventing future instances of gun violence from shattering more families, communities, and individuals.
Early returns on these investments across the State of Michigan have suggested early success but there is more we must do to build a safer future for all Michiganders. We must evaluate what we have done, what we are doing, and what more we can do to reduce gun violence and save lives. Creating a new statewide task force will continue the process of raising awareness to the unique causes of gun violence and help build more solutions to prevent future tragedies.
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:
