Legislation was introduced that would give the authority to permit certain wind or solar energy projects to the Michigan Public Service Commission.

Legislation that would place certain aspects of the Federal Affordable Care Act into Michigan law passed.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed legislation that supporters believe will help get more teachers in classrooms statewide.
