Michigan Senate Democrats are moving forward with a lawsuit against House Republicans. They call it an invasion of constitutional duty as nine bills from 2024 have yet to reach the governor’s desk thr

Democrats argue Republicans are violating the Michigan Constitution by conducting a ‘legal review’ rather than sending previously approved bills to the governor for signature.

The Democratic-controlled Michigan Senate sued the state House of Representatives on Monday because its Republican speaker refuses to send nine bills passed during the last session—before he took power—to the governor for signing.

The Michigan Senate announced it is filing a lawsuit against the House over nine bills that passed in the legislature but never made it to the Governor's office for a signature.

As they had threatened last week to do, Michigan Senate Democrats have filed a lawsuit seeking to force House Speaker Matt Hall (R-Richland Twp.) to send nine already-passed bills to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer for her signature.

Senate Leader Winnie Brinks and the Democrat-controlled Senate labeled the case an "urgent state constitutional matter."
