No. 2009-14, reads as follows:"In fulfillment of the requirements under Section 2 of Article V of the Michigan Constitution of 1963, the provisions of this Order are effective May 31, 2009 at 12:01 a.m."MCL 333.26365 was subsequently amended by E.R.O. No. 2009-27. The text of the last paragraph of MCL 333.26365 now reflects the E.R.O. No. 2009-27 amendment, which revised the effective date. All other text remains as originally enacted.Prior to the E.R.O. No .2009-27 amendment, Executive Order No. 2009-23 purported to amend E.R.O. No. 2009-14; however, Executive Order No. 2009-23 was not designated as a reorganization order by the governor and was therefore not compiled. Executive Order No. 2009-38 rescinded Executive Order No. 2009-23.
