Respectfully,
Garlin Gilchrist II
Acting and Lieutenant Governor
December 18, 2023
Today, I was proud to sign Enrolled Senate Bill 174, a supplemental school aid appropriation for Fiscal Years 2023-2024, that provides funding to help support primary health care services for kids and young adults, aimed at modernizing outdated medical equipment, improving security and patient safety measures, and investing in patient-centered technologies.
I should note that any provisions in Enrolled Senate Bill 174 that express intent, advice, or preferences of the Legislature do not impose conditions upon appropriations and are non-binding. Any boilerplate provisions in Senate Bill 174 that violate the constitution because, for example, they contravene separation of powers principles (Const 1963, art 3, § 2); are impermissible amendments by reference (Const 1963, art 4, § 25); embrace more than one object (Const 1963, art 4, § 24); or, purport to authorize legislation other than by bill (Const 1963, art 4, § 22) are unenforceable and will not take effect.
As we quickly approach the end of the year, I’m proud to sign another appropriations bill that invests in the people of this state, in the ways that truly matter.
Sincerely,
Gretchen Whitmer
Governor
