Father, we ask that You also bless our state, our state leaders, and the staffs who are here and connected to the Senate.

Father, as we open this session, God, we just ask that You stir their hearts; that You continue to encourage them and strengthen them in their long and tiresome nights. Bless their families, O God, that while they’re away, their families be protected as well. Finally, God, for the people of this state, I ask that You bless them and help them not only be a part of the electoral process, but to support our elected officials and leaders. Encourage them and speak well of them. Father, we thank You for this opportunity to inquire at Your throne.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Hansen’s statement is as follows:

Today I am honored to recognize two constituents of mine from Oceana County. I have Earl Peterson and his daughter Sarah Schlukebir with me today. Also here are Matthew and Lori Schulz who are operators of the local McDonald’s in Hart. Earl is a fourth-generation fruit farmer and head of Peterson Farms, the largest privately-owned fruit processor in Michigan. Peterson Farms is one of the largest agricultural employers in my district. Although the farm is located in Oceana County, you and your families have likely encountered one of their most popular commodities, the nutritious packages of apple slices that come in Happy Meals.

Earl and Sarah are here today as we celebrate a very significant milestone for McDonald’s and Peterson Farms. Since first introducing apple dippers in 2004, McDonald’s USA has served more than 2 billion sliced apple packages across the country. For some perspective, 2 billion packages is equal to providing every child in America under the age of 12 with 40 packages of apple slices. McDonald’s has purchased well over 19 million pounds of Michigan apples since 2004. The majority have come from Peterson Farms, who is their largest supplier in Michigan and only 1 of 6 suppliers nationwide. The relationship between McDonald’s and Peterson Farms has certainly had a positive effect on our local economy.

Please join me in congratulating McDonald’s and Peterson Farms in reaching this milestone for their contributions to Michigan’s agriculture economy.

The Senate agreed to the title of the bill.

Senator Proos asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Proos’ statement is as follows:

I appreciate the opportunity to discuss with the chamber a series of bills before us today on Third Reading related to criminal justice reform in the state. Criminal justice reform is not a partisan issue but is, in fact, an issue that relates to each and every one of us in the state.

I would like to remind folks of our constitutional obligation here in this chamber as representatives of the people of Michigan. Article 1 of the Michigan Constitution states that all political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for their equal benefit, security, and protection. That particular statement of security and protection and the benefits therein are why we talk about criminal justice in this state.

We know full well that crimes happen in our communities. Crimes mean there are victims, and victims have costs. All of those costs are borne by us as taxpayers. As we look toward these particular concerns, we have to address the reality of the number of people who are under supervision in the state of Michigan. Today we have over 100,000 people under supervision because of crimes committed in our communities. Of that 100,000 number, which includes probation, parole, and prison, 50 percent of those in the prison system today are, in fact, individuals who have been under supervision and have failed on probation or parole. This begs the question: Are we doing a good enough job at ensuring those individuals have the best chance for success in society?

After all it is also a fact, colleagues, that of the approximately 43,000 prisoners we have in the state of Michigan, every three and a half years, we parole 43,000 people. This means that they come back to our communities. Do they come back prepared to be successful is the question. That is what this series of bills before you today attempts to address—the opportunity for success in returning offenders to our communities, whereby we decrease victimization, value the individuals who have been victimized, but also give the best chance for society to re-integrate those individuals in a way that hopefully decreases costs. That is an ancillary benefit that cannot be dismissed.

Every time we see that opportunity before us, we will see additional abilities to invest in our roadways and our K-12 educational system. I will remind my colleagues here that whether it is juvenile justice, probation, parole, prison, or any place along that criminal justice timeline spectrum, any diversion along that way means more money available for us who would like to see investments in our kids.

As we focus on smart investments and reforms, we seek to stop the revolving door of our prison system on both the probation and parole sides of the equation. In doing so, we keep public safety at the forefront of our minds. We will also support those crime victims to ensure we decrease the number of individuals who become victims of crime. After all, we have 1.6 million crime victims in the state of Michigan today and growing. That equals someplace in the neighborhood of $1.71 billion of costs to society, something that cannot be pushed aside.

Finally, this is a bipartisan effort. Working with my colleagues in this chamber, many of you are lead sponsors of the bills before us. Republicans and Democrats alike are trying to find solutions to the question of how we can stop the revolving door, and put ourselves in the best position for offender success that values public safety, because it is, in fact, our constitutional responsibility.

I look forward to the passage of these bills, and I appreciate the opportunity to speak on the entire package before us. I especially appreciate the hard work of so many organizations that have helped to craft these bills to put us in the best position possible to send to the House of Representatives. I ask for support of the members.
