Messages from the Governor

 

 

The following message from the Governor was received June 4, 2026 and read:

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER

No. 2026-13

Gun Violence Prevention Task Force

Department of Health and Human Services

 

In recent years, Michigan has made meaningful progress to reduce gun violence, bring crime down, and get illegal guns off the street. We established universal background checks, safe storage requirements, and extreme risk protection orders so guns do not get into the wrong hands. We have invested millions in community violence intervention programs to tackle the root causes of gun violence and worked with our partners in local government to address behavioral health and crisis response. And I am proud of our work to get illegal guns off the street through Operation Safe Neighborhoods.

But our work is not done. Gun violence remains a public health and safety challenge in Michigan. We must continue to coordinate at all levels to address gun violence, protect Michiganders, build on the progress we致e made, and save lives.

In June 2024, I issued Executive Order 2024-4, creating the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force (典ask Force�) to study the root causes of gun violence and recommend strategies for prevention, intervention, and accountability. The Task Force has since completed its final report, providing a comprehensive set of recommendations to reduce gun violence across the state.

The next phase requires focused implementation of the Task Force痴 recommendations, improved coordination across state government, and stronger data collection to track progress, support accountability, and ensure that policies are effective and responsive to community needs. Continued coordination through the Department of Health and Human Services will further a unified, public-health-centered approach to gun violence prevention.

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.

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.

Acting under the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:

�� 1.� Reestablishment of the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force

______

 

 

Rep. Grant, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

溺r. Speaker and members of the House:

While I support the safety of our first responders I have concerns about the definition of the term harass in the policy, and the lack of definition for the terms impede or interfere. Because of this the bill package is potentially constitutionally vague and unconstitutional. This could lead to harmful application of the policy in practice, as well as questions of infringement of the first amendment right.�

 

Rep. Young, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

溺r. Speaker and members of the House:

I support public safety officers. This legislation, however, does not provide a necessary level of clarity around how it would be implemented. How will the 25 feet be determined in an emergent situation? What is the definition of interfering, impeding, intimidating or harassing? The actions would be left to interpretation of the public safety officer and may not actually be the intent of the person in question. More work needs to be done on these, therefore I was led to vote No on the entire package.�

 

Rep. Dievendorf, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

溺r. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted NO on House Bills 5574, 5575, and 5576 because, while I recognize and support the need to protect first responders from harassment and interference while performing their duties, these bills raise significant concerns regarding free speech, public accountability, and the ability of residents to observe and document government activity in public spaces. Recent events in Minnesota and other states have highlighted the risks associated with granting expanded authority in situations involving federal law enforcement officers who may not be adequately trained in local community engagement or de-escalation practices. As communities across the country have witnessed controversial deployments of federal officers and ongoing questions regarding transparency and accountability, it would be irresponsible to enact legislation that could put us on track to further restrict public oversight. In addition, the efforts of legal observers to document police interactions has proven helpful in providing accountability in cases of police misconduct and brutality and are protected by the United States Constitution. In absence of any meaningful policy changes to address police accountability, these bills serve to make dangerous situations even more dangerous for our most vulnerable neighbors. Both police officers and those they serve are safer when oversight is unobstructed and routes to accountability are protected. Regardless, these bills are likely unconstitutional. Today, Democrats offered an amendment to restrict the impact of these bills to EMS and firefighters. That amendment was defeated. We can and should protect first responders without undermining constitutional rights or limiting the public痴 ability to hold government actors accountable. Unfortunately, these bills did not pass that essential test.�

 

Rep. Brixie, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

溺r. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no because these bills were vague on the definition of what a verbal warning entails and don稚 specifically allow for bystander filming, which I believe is crucial for transparency and accountability. We absolutely need to keep our first responders safe and protected from injury and death while they are serving us and responding to emergencies, but these bills were not prescriptive enough to ensure that we are doing so while also protecting the First Amendment rights of bystanders.�

 

Rep. Fitzgerald, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

溺r. Speaker and members of the House:

While well-intentioned, possibly necessary in some aspects to ensure a safe workplace for first responders, there is potential for this to interfere with the constitutional rights of citizens, creating a more litigious society that could have negative impacts on victims of emergencies, those participating in public demonstrations, and those engaged in other constitutionally protected activities. Therefore, I am committed to collaborating on solutions that can provide first responders with appropriate protections to conduct their jobs safely and professionally while balancing that with the expected and due rights of the citizenry.�

 

Rep. Wooden, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

溺r. Speaker and members of the House:

While I am absolutely sympathetic to the need of first responders to do their job, the legislation before us fails to protect people痴 constitutionally protected activities, most notably the right to monitor and record a public official. I am fully open to a policy that provides first responders with appropriate protections while also protecting people痴 individual rights.�

In addition, the efforts of legal observers to document police interactions has proven helpful in providing accountability in cases of police misconduct and brutality and are protected by the United States Constitution. In absence of any meaningful policy changes to address police accountability, these bills serve to make dangerous situations even more dangerous for our most vulnerable neighbors. Both police officers and those they serve are safer when oversight is unobstructed and routes to accountability are protected. Regardless, these bills are likely unconstitutional. Today, Democrats offered an amendment to restrict the impact of these bills to EMS and firefighters. That amendment was defeated. We can and should protect first responders without undermining constitutional rights or limiting the public痴 ability to hold government actors accountable. Unfortunately, these bills did not pass that essential test.�

 

Rep. Brixie, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

溺r. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no because these bills were vague on the definition of what a verbal warning entails and don稚 specifically allow for bystander filming, which I believe is crucial for transparency and accountability. We absolutely need to keep our first responders safe and protected from injury and death while they are serving us and responding to emergencies, but these bills were not prescriptive enough to ensure that we are doing so while also protecting the First Amendment rights of bystanders.�

 

Rep. Fitzgerald, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

溺r. Speaker and members of the House:

While well-intentioned, possibly necessary in some aspects to ensure a safe workplace for first responders, there is potential for this to interfere with the constitutional rights of citizens, creating a more litigious society that could have negative impacts on victims of emergencies, those participating in public demonstrations, and those engaged in other constitutionally protected activities. Therefore, I am committed to collaborating on solutions that can provide first responders with appropriate protections to conduct their jobs safely and professionally while balancing that with the expected and due rights of the citizenry.�

 

Rep. Wooden, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

溺r. Speaker and members of the House:

While I am absolutely sympathetic to the need of first responders to do their job, the legislation before us fails to protect people痴 constitutionally protected activities, most notably the right to monitor and record a public official. I am fully open to a policy that provides first responders with appropriate protections while also protecting people痴 individual rights.�
