Gov. Gretchen Whitmer vetoed two pandemic-related measures on Thursday, nixing bills that dealt with graduation ceremonies and public record requests during a health crisis.

One measure, HB 4728, would ban the state health department or local health officials from issuing orders that restricted high school graduation ceremonies this spring and summer.
