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
