History: 1980, E.R.O. No. 1980-1, Eff. Jan. 1, 1981
Compiler: This section was promulgated October 23, 1980, as Executive Order No. 1980-1A.
The Michigan Council for Rehabilitation Services was created by Executive Order 2012-10(V). The composition of the Council is governed by federal law, which includes the requirement that the Council include at least one representative of the state's workforce development board. 29 U.S.C § 725(b)(1)(B)(xii). In 2012, when the Michigan Council for Rehabilitation Services was formed, the Talent Investment Board served as Michigan's workforce development board. Therefore, the order establishing the Michigan Council for Rehabilitation Services required that its membership include a representative from the Talent Investment Board. EO 2012-10(V)(B)(1)(g).
In 2018, the workforce development board designation was transferred to the Future Talent Council when the Talent Investment Board was renamed. EO 2018-13(I)(A). An executive order was later issued specifying that the membership of the Michigan Council for Rehabilitation Services must include a representative of the Future Talent Council. EO 2019-3(6)(a)(3). In 2020, the workforce development board designation was again transferred, now to the Michigan Workforce Development Board. EO 2020-107(1)(a). When the Workforce Development Board was created, the establishing order did not update the requirements regarding the Michigan Council for Rehabilitation Services.
This order updates the membership requirements for the Michigan Council for Rehabilitation Services to include one representative of the Michigan Workforce Development Board, as required by federal law.
Section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the State of Michigan in the governor.
Section 2 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 empowers the governor to make changes in the organization of the executive branch of state government or in the assignment of functions among its units that the governor considers necessary for efficient administration.
Acting under the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:
The Michigan Council for Rehabilitation Services must include as a member one individual representing the Workforce Development Board, as created by EO 2020-107.
EO 2019-13, section 6.a.3, is rescinded.

Educational attainment after high school is a key determinant of economic opportunity and social mobility. My administration has been focused on ensuring that Michigan is providing the best opportunity for its residents and attracting and retaining talent. With the establishment of the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP), Michigan has an executive department dedicated to advancing our lifelong education efforts-from preschool through postsecondary. Creating a single place in state government to lead our work to increase degree attainment helps more people make it in Michigan.
It is also important that the Michigan Tax Tribunal and the Workers' Disability Compensation Appeals Commission have the tools to exercise their functions as efficiently as possible. This reorganization gives the Tax Tribunal increased autonomy. It also streamlines the process for ensuring that the Workers' Disability Compensation Appeals Commission can proceed expeditiously to hear appeals even when conflicts arise. The transfers contained in this order will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of state government.
Section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the State of Michigan in the governor.

In the event that two members of the Workers' Disability Compensation Appeals Commission cannot participate in a case because of a conflict under section 4(g) or for any other reason, the director of the Workers' Disability Compensation Agency or the director's designated representative shall randomly assign two members of the Workers' Compensation Board of Magistrates who are not subject to disqualification in that case to participate in the case and cast votes upon a review of the record. Members of the Workers' Disability Compensation Appeals Commission must be appointed for a term of four years. A member may continue to serve until a successor is appointed and qualified. A vacancy occurring before the expiration of a term will be filled in the same manner as the original appointment for the remainder of the term.

History: 2024, E.R.O. No. 2024-1, Eff. Mar. 18, 2024
Compiler: Executive Reorganization Order No. 2024-1 was promulgated January 17, 2024, as Executive Order No. 2024-2, Eff. Mar. 18, 2024.
During my time in office, I have demonstrated my commitment to cutting red tape and streamlining government. I have signed legislation that makes it easier for Michigan families to transfer assets when a family member has passed. I have worked with our legislature to remove inefficient, duplicative steps in agencies' rules review processes. And I have done away with ranking systems that hobbled our schools. Now, I am turning my attention to Michigan's boards, councils, commissions, and committees.
Michigan boasts over 250 of these boards, which are made up of over 2,300 appointees. From our many agricultural commodities boards, to our professional licensing boards, to our cultural and ethnic advocacy commissions, the myriad of interests, industries, and perspectives that make Michigan a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family are represented across our state boards and commissions.
But some of these boards no longer serve their original purposes. Some were created with specific mandates that have been met or exceeded. Others have changed scope in ways that no longer align with practical realities, the current state of issues, or our current understanding of technology. Still others are duplicative of other boards, which can create both redundancies and conflicts. More were created with a focus on specific perspectives through a number of designated seats that no longer accurately represent the field of view or serve the interest of the council or committee.
In the interest of good government, I am proactively correcting these issues, including the rightsizing of boards and commissions, the adjustment of seat designations and, in some cases, the modification or abolishment of certain committees and councils. In doing so, I am cutting red tape and taking action to ensure governmental power rests where it ought, and that Michigan's government works for Michiganders.
Section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the State of Michigan in the Governor.
Section 2 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 empowers the governor to make changes in the organization of the executive branch of state government or in the assignment of functions among its units that are necessary for efficient administration.
Certain changes to several state boards, commissions, and councils are needed. These changes will ensure the efficient administration and effectiveness of government.
Acting pursuant to the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:
