LANSING, MI (MPRN)-- The state House has approved a hotly contested bill that would limit the power of incoming Attorney General Dana Nessel.
The bill would allow the Legislature to intervene in any court proceeding. During a committee hearing Tuesday four protesters interrupted the hearing to oppose it.
Michigan House Representative Rob VerHeulen is the bill’s sponsor.
“The purpose of this bill is to provide a tool for the Legislature regardless of which party controls to... for it to have a voice necessary to provide the Constitutional responsibilities imposed on this body.”
The bill would enable the GOP to protect laws enacted when Republicans were in control of all branches of state government. It now goes to the state Senate.
