Gov. Gretchen Whitmer yesterday signed most of the 10-bill package championed by Sen. Sarah Anthony and Rep. Kara Hope to ban child marriage in Michigan.

But due to a last-minute procedural snafu right before the legislature’s summer recess began, four bills in the package have not yet made it to Gov. Whitmer’s desk. When the house returns from recess in the fall, it must vote again on those bills and Gov. Whitmer must sign them — and then Michigan will become the 10th U.S. state where our relentless advocacy has helped to end child marriage!
