Operative words
On Friday, October 2, 2020, the Michigan Supreme Court concluded that the Governor was not authorized by law to issue executive orders addressing COVID-19 after April 30, 2020... In the absence of the Governor's emergency orders, it is necessary to issue orders under the Public [Health Code]... 1. A congregate care facility or a juvenile justice facility must limit the entry of any visitors consistent [with the following]... criteria must include assessment of signs and symptoms related to a COVID-19 infection... 6. Consistent with MCL 333.2261, violation of this order is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment [for not more than 6 months, or a fine of not more than $200, or both]. This order is effective immediately, and remains in effect through October 30, 2020. Date: October 6, 2020

Notes
The MI State file saved the Oct. 6, 2020 residential-care order (Final_MDHHS_residential_care_epidemic_order); this is the companion congregate-care and juvenile-justice order of the same day.
