Veto Messages

Subsequent to final adjournment of the Regular Session of the Legislature, the following messages from the Governor were received:

INSURANCE; HEALTH CARE BENEFITS

January 2, 2001

Today I have vetoed and am returning to you herewith, Enrolled Senate Bill 694.

This bill purports to establish a "timely payments" mechanism, whereby the state, through the Office of Financial and Insurance Services (OFIS), is charged to be the arbiter of contractual disputes between doctors and health insurers.

I fully support the notion of timely payment of health care claims in our great state, but what role should government play in this contractual dispute? Late payments harm the health care industry by slowing the flow of revenues through the system. Health insurers must not withhold payment to health care providers as a way to generate interest revenues.

I supported PA 187 of 2000, Enrolled Senate Bill 938, because it dealt exclusively with the payment of Medicaid services by the state to health care providers. Medicaid services receive more than $2 billion in support from the state and constitute a significant investment by the people of Michigan. The appropriate role of state government was instituting a claims process for Medicaid services.

Proponents of this legislation have argued that Enrolled Senate Bill 694 is similar in nature. This is not the case. Enrolled Senate Bill 694 is different from PA 187 of 2000 because it impacts existing contracts between private health care providers and insurers. Providers already have signed contracts that specifically spell out how and when payments are to be made. This bill represents a legislative attempt to micromanage existing contracts between two private parties.

From a constitutional perspective, this bill requires state government to enforce contracts between two private parties. The framers of our constitution rightfully left contract enforcement in the hands of the judicial branch. This is why I support the role of a judicial branch which protects property rights and contractual obligations. The duties of bill collector for the health care industry are not an appropriate role of the executive branch of state government.

Enrolled Senate Bill 694 has the potential to increase the size of state government by at least 20 FTEs and up to 2,000 FTEs depending on the number of disputed claims. Also, the cost to the state of developing a tracking system, whereby the state becomes the clearinghouse of private-sector medical claims, is astronomical. On a related note, the State of New York, which has a system similar to Enrolled Senate Bill 694, already has a yearlong backlog for disputed claims at great cost to the state and residents of the Empire State.

For the aforementioned reasons, I am returning Enrolled Senate Bill 694 without signature.

Sincerely,

John Engler

Governor

This bill was returned from the Governor on January 2, 2001, at 2:30p.m.

INSURANCE; HEALTH CARE CORPORATIONS

January 2, 2001

Today I have vetoed and am returning to you herewith, Enrolled Senate Bill 1426.

As I stated in my veto message of Enrolled Senate Bill 694, I do not support involving state government in contract disputes between two private entities. For this reason, I have returned Enrolled Senate Bill 1426 without signature.

Sincerely,

John Engler

Governor

This bill was returned from the Governor on January 2, 2001, at 2:31p.m.

HEALTH INSURANCE; OPTIONAL RIDER FOR ABORTION

January 9, 2001

Today I have signed Enrolled Senate Bill 1170 codifying Michigan court decisions that prohibit a civil action for money damages for the "wrongful life" of an infant as the result of birth control failure or an undiagnosed prenatal disability. This legislation states Michigan's commitment to the belief that the benefits of a child's life always outweigh the cost of raising the child.

However, I am returning to the House of Representatives Enrolled House Bill 4828, and to the Senate Enrolled Senate Bill 645 and Enrolled Senate Bill 794, the effect of which is to impair certain private contracts that provide health insurance coverage for reproductive services.

In doing so I note that persistent questions were raised about the administration, enforcement, cost and constitutionality of this legislation which were not adequately addressed during the abbreviated legislative debate.

For these reasons I am returning Enrolled House Bill 4828 and Enrolled Senate Bills 645 and 794 without signature.

Sincerely,

John Engler

Governor

This bill was returned from the Governor on January 9, 2001, at 3:56p.m.

HEALTH INSURANCE; BILLING FOR ABORTION SERVICES

January 9, 2001

For these reasons I am returning Enrolled House Bill 4828 and Enrolled Senate Bills 645 and 794 without signature.

Sincerely,

John Engler

Governor

This bill was returned from the Governor on January 9, 2001, at 3:56p.m.

RETIREMENT; RECIPROCAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM

January 10, 2001

Today I have vetoed and am returning to you herewith, Enrolled Senate Bill 342.

This bill purports to allow employees of the State, public schools and other governmental units to retire earlier with full health benefits than they can under current provisions of the Reciprocal Retirement Act (1961 PA 88). Fewer than 25 individuals from the State Employees Retirement System and the Public School Employees Retirement System would benefit from this bill each year.

Based on the Senate Fiscal Agency's estimate that up to two percent of retiring members use service under the Reciprocal Retirement Act to become eligible for health and pension benefits, the cost to the State could approach $52 million over the next 20 years. For this reason, I cannot support this legislation.

At a time when health care costs are rising and the number of retirees is growing, greater focus should be given to protecting the funding of current retirement benefits, as in my proposal for Health Care Advance Funding for our retirement systems. In light of these health funding concerns that impact the 500,000 active and retired participants of Michigan's state pension plans, both the small number of individuals benefited by this bill and its $52 million liability demonstrate its questionable contribution to sound retirement policy.

For these reasons, I have returned Enrolled Senate Bill 342 without signature.

Sincerely,

John Engler

Governor

This bill was returned from the Governor on January 10, 2001, at 11:37a.m.

APPROPRIATIONS; SUPPLEMENTAL

January 16, 2001

Today I have signed Enrolled Senate Bill 977, the Fiscal Year 2001 supplemental appropriations bill. However, I am returning it to you because of several items of which I disapprove, pursuant to Article V, Section 19, of the Michigan Constitution of 1963. The specific vetoes are contained in the attached copy of the bill, which has been filed with the Secretary of State.

This supplemental budget bill provides $151,232,300 in Fiscal Year 2001 supplemental funding for capital outlay authorizations and the departments of Agriculture, Community Health, Environmental Quality, Natural Resources and Transportation.

Key provisions of the bill include:

* $60.8 million in Clean Michigan Initiative funds for environmental cleanup and redevelopment programs and a municipal landfill match program.

* $25.7 million in Clean Michigan Initiative funds for numerous surface water quality programs.

* $21.8 million in Clean Michigan Initiative funds for state park infrastructure projects.

* $14.7 million in local recreation grants funded by the Clean Michigan Initiative and Recreation Bond revenues.

* $3.1 million in Clean Michigan Initiative funds for leaking underground storage tank cleanup.

* $21.7 million in Natural Resources Trust Fund revenues for numerous acquisition and development projects.

* $500,000 from the Retired Engineers Technical Assistance Funds to support environmental work drawing on the expertise of retired engineers.

* Construction authorization for State Building Authority projects at five higher education institutions: Grand Rapids Community College, Henry Ford Community College, Schoolcraft College, Ferris State University and Oakland University.

* Increased construction authorization of up to $58 million for the Department of Agriculture's Animal Health Diagnostic Laboratory located on the Michigan State University campus to diagnose bovine tuberculosis and other animal diseases.

* Up to $1.3 million for the Department of Transportation to continue its study of the I 69/I 94 corridor. It is my understanding that Phase I of the study is to be completed by March 2002. I am directing the Department to carry forward the amount necessary from this appropriation to match federal funds to complete Phase II.

* Increased authorization for the Michigan Emergency Pharmaceutical Program to insure that program continues uninterrupted until the Elder Prescription Insurance Coverage (EPIC) program begins on October 1, 2001.

* Technical changes in the Michigan Education Savings Program and the Farmland and Open Space Preservation Program to reflect recently passed legislation.

My action today includes vetoes of:

* $600,000 and the related boilerplate section 351 for the lead abatement program in the Department of Community Health. The Healthy Michigan Fund is already supporting a number of one-time spending items which cannot be sustained in Fiscal Year 2002 based on current revenue projections. Because of the anticipated need to reduce Healthy Michigan expenditures in Fiscal Year 2002, it would be inappropriate to add an additional commitment at this time. Funding of $5,000,000 for lead abatement programs is available from the Clean Michigan Initiative.

* Boilerplate section 751 which earmarks $1.6 million for the remediation of "previously identified" pedestrian crossings. This is an inappropriate use of state trunkline funds.

These appropriations will help state agencies safeguard and improve important state natural resources, recreational facilities and additional programs important to the people of Michigan. I thank the Legislature for its work on these supplemental appropriations.

Sincerely,

John Engler

Governor
