Whitmer orders tariff impact reports, pushes Michigan businesses to seek refunds
2026-04-06
[JTN] Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed an executive directive aimed at helping Michigan businesses recover refunds from tariffs imposed under President Donald Trump, while ordering new reports on the policy's economic impacts across the state.

The directive, signed on the one-year anniversary of “Liberation Day,” follows a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that found certain tariffs enacted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act unconstitutional.

“The president’s tariffs have jacked up costs, and Michiganders have been paying the price,” Whitmer said. “Now that the Supreme Court has ruled that these tariffs are illegal, it’s time for Michiganders to get their money back.”

The order directs several state agencies to submit reports within 30 days detailing how tariffs have affected Michigan industries, consumers and state operations, while also ensuring businesses are aware of how to seek refunds as the federal government finalizes that process.
