ABOUT THE SENATE
The Michigan Senate is the upper chamber of the Michigan Legislature, consisting of 38 members elected by the qualified electors of districts having approximately 247,000 to 273,000 residents.
Working alongside the House of Representatives, the Michigan Senate enacts, amends, or repeals state laws; collaborates with the Governor to establish the state budget and appropriate funds; and provides oversight of the executive branch of government.
LEGISLATION
The Michigan Legislature website provides accurate and timely legislative information to the citizens of the State of Michigan and other interested parties.
COMMITTEES
Due to the number and diversity of issues which must be considered throughout each session, the Michigan Senate has established a set of committees, each focusing on its own designated subject area. Committees examine issues within their subject areas and assess proposed legislative items on those topics before forwarding legislative items to the full Senate for consideration.
