Governor Granholm Signs Michigan Emergency Powers Protection Act!

Friday, January 5, 2007

On Thursday, December 28, Governor Jennifer Granholm (D) signed the “Emergency Powers Protection Act.”

Consisting of HB6363 and HB6364, the legislation sponsored by State Representative Scott Hummel (R-93) will establish new laws preventing local governments from confiscating lawfully-owned firearms during a declared state of emergency, as we witnessed in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina.

The bills passed overwhelmingly in the State Senate, 37-1, and unanimously in the State House, 105-0.

Please contact Governor Granholm today by phone at (517) 373-3400, (517) 335-7858; by fax at (517) 335-6863; or e-mail at http://www.michigan.gov/gov/0,1607,7-168-21992_21995-65331--,00.html and thank her for protecting our Second Amendment rights by signing HB6363 and HB6364.

A special thank you to all NRA members for your calls and e-mails in support of HB6363 and HB6364 during the legislative session!
