These three laws are Michigan’s most used and well-known emergency powers statutes. Two — the Emergency Management Act of 1976 and the Administrative Procedures Act of 1969 — have been exercised hundreds of times over the last several decades. They are deployed for a wide range of circumstances, including anything a state department has the power to regulate. There are few limits on the subjects for which these emergency powers might be used. The third law, conversely, has been invoked only once, but its use was more extensive and far-reaching than any other emergency power ever used.
