There are three main duties assigned to the Lieutenant governor: 1) to serve as acting governor while the governor is out of state; 2) to become governor in the event that the governor is unable to serve; and 3) to preside over the Michigan Senate.

These days, the Lieutenant Governor also acts as an assistant to the governor. When the governor is unable to attend a function, for instance, the lieutenant governor may be sent in place of the governor.
