On Friday, Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed executive order 2020-59, extending her "Stay Home, Stay Safe" order through May 15. The new order also removed some restrictions on outdoor activities like motorized boating - a top priority of the recreational boating community.

Leading up to the decision, NMMA worked with members of Michigan's congressional delegation, along with state level officials to advocate for adding boating to the list of outdoor recreation activities allowed to continue within COVID-19 social distancing guidelines. Additionally, more than 1,000 Boating United advocates contacted Governor Whitmer in favor of lifting restrictions on motorized boating.
