AI Summary
This bill requires the Michigan state legislature to approve any overseas travel by the governor that is paid for with taxpayer funds. Specifically, the governor must obtain legislative approval through a concurrent resolution, which must be passed by a majority vote in both chambers of the legislature using a recorded roll call vote. The concurrent resolution must detail the specific dates of travel, the destination location, and the purpose of the trip. This proposed legislation adds a new layer of legislative oversight to the governor's international travel, ensuring transparency and accountability for taxpayer-funded trips abroad. The bill aims to give the state legislature more control and insight into the governor's overseas travel expenses and objectives, requiring explicit permission before such trips can be undertaken using public funds.
