Answer:

The lieutenant governor serves as President of the Michigan Senate, voting only in case of a tie. In addition, the lieutenant governor performs special duties as requested by the governor, serves as a member of the State Administrative Board and would succeed the governor in case of death, impeachment, removal from office, or resignation. The lieutenant governor serves as acting governor whenever the governor is out of the state.
