Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for bringing us together today. We stand before You as representatives of the people of Michigan asking for You to give us wisdom and courage to make the decisions that are right for each of our districts. We ask that You open our minds so that we may take inspiration from Your words, and find a civil and productive discourse in our session today. Lord, let us put partisanship in our past and put the people of Michigan first.
Lord, we ask that You hold our colleague, Morris Hood, and make sure that he gets healed so that he can come back and join us. I spoke to him yesterday and he is really ready to come back, and we’re ready to have him come back.
We pray that we might always serve You by serving our fellow citizens. We give You thanks for putting us in the place of humble servitude. In the name of our Savior. Amen.
The President, Lieutenant Governor Calley, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

A lot of my colleagues have stood here and talked about a bittersweet day. I’m going to stand here and talk about a great day for the state of Michigan. Anna Mooney has been in my office for seven and a half years since she graduated from college and it’s been a great experience for us. She’s moving on to the DNR to be their liaison. I’m a little concerned about her having to go into Senator Casperson or Senator Booher’s offices, but I think she can handle herself. We’ve trained her, she knows how to take folks, and I just have to say that in the seven and a half years, she has been probably one of the best people to have in your office. She’s like the daughter I never had. For the time that she has served the state of Michigan, we really appreciated the time she’s given us and the work that she’s done. It’s just an amazing thing that she’s done. It’s a great day for the DNR. Tomorrow is her last day with us and then she transfers over. We are blessed to have the seven and a half years we’ve had her and we look forward to at least two more years of working with you as we go through this, and with being the chair of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism, I’m sure I’ll see you quite often. She also helped take care of that. So Anna, I want to say “thank you,” and with her today is her husband Bobby and I don’t see Elizabeth. She’s been through a lot in the years that she’s been with me. She got married to Bobby. She even changed her name. She’s had her daughter Elizabeth, and so it’s been like a family thing all the way through. Anna, thank you for your time. Thank you for your work and the skills that you’ve given us in the time that you’ve been with us and I’m really excited for the opportunity that you have. Thank you.
Senator Hertel’s statement is as follows:
Colleagues, I rise today to honor Gary Quinn for his service during the Vietnam War. Gary Quinn is a Michigan native who graduated from Western Michigan University. He worked for and eventually retired from Michigan’s own Kendall Electric. Gary served our country in the Reserves from 1967 to 1973 and served in Vietnam from 1969 to 1970. Gary has been honored with countless awards including the National Defense Medal and the Vietnam Service Medal with one bronze star.
He has been married to his wife Karen for 45 years. He is a proud father of Alisha Quinn Basco of Vail, Colorado and Cory Quinn of East Lansing, and a grandfather to Gaia Basco. I want to personally thank Gary for answering the call of duty and serving our country with the utmost of dignity. Thank you for what you’ve done, Gary.
We remain a free nation because of brave soldiers like Gary who are willing to sacrifice their lives and stand guard for our country. It is an honor for our country and for Michigan to be home to distinguished heroes like Gary. We must continue to respect and remember all those who have served our country in the armed forces. Thank you for your service, your valor, your sacrifice, and welcome home.

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:
The Senator from the 34th District today gave a prayer today in our chambers related to how we would work together to try to solve problems in the state of Michigan, and I can tell you that a problem that has plagued the state for many years has been the rate of crime and the number of victims that have been impacted because of crime in our state. We have a direct responsibility in our Constitution, as you all well know, to ensure that we provide a safe environment for the growth and development of our kids, for the safety and security of our families, for educational systems, for our community as a whole, and, as you may know, colleagues, we spend literally billions of dollars in criminal justice from the time that we see folks first enter our criminal justice system as juveniles all the way through end-of-life issues, and the challenges of those costs are so significant that any time that we effect change in our criminal justice system, we have the opportunity for significant benefit.
Today is that opportunity, as the Senator from the 34th District asked us in that prayer, to work in a bipartisan fashion to serve together to see those kinds of changes to ensure safer communities and to give us a chance to change the trajectory of crime in our communities. The Michigan criminal justice system is in need of reform and updating. Today, the bipartisan package that you see before you in the multiple bills that we’ll be passing, with many of you as sponsors and assistants in helping to draft that legislation, will do just exactly that. It will help to change the trajectory of crime and thereby make for safer communities. I believe that as a state we can do better and we must do better. It is in fact our responsibility.
The necessary improvements span the spectrum of that criminal justice timeline, from juvenile justice to probation to the prison system and parole. These common-sense reforms are grounded in best practices that some other states have attempted and tried and have seen great results. These best practices are tested against definitions that we can agree will give us a chance to see success or failure in the tax dollars that we spend, the billions of tax dollars that we spend on an annual basis. If we can head down that road together today, we have the opportunity to see significant change and ultimately it values taxpayers, doesn’t it? It values the taxpayer dollars that are spent at the local and state levels, let alone here within our corrections and judiciary budgets. They speak about public safety, they speak about the unfortunate and devastating impacts of criminal activity in our communities: communities that we call home, communities that we want to be safe. These are issues that, quite frankly, affect everyone in our state and in our communities that we serve. Together, working side by side with our colleagues in this chamber, Republicans and Democrats alike, we have the opportunity to see significant change in our criminal justice system so that the outcomes we expect are held accountable to the benefits of those taxpayer dollars that we spend. A reminder: of the 42,000 that we have currently incarcerated in the state of Michigan in our prison system, those folks will come home within four years. We turn over that population, so we know that they are coming home. If they’re coming home, are we expecting success so that they don’t enter the revolving door of our criminal justice system? Colleagues, we have 100,000 people under supervision in the state of Michigan; 42,000 in our prison system. Today is the opportunity for us to effect change, decrease costs, and do the right and moral thing by fixing some of the underlying problems that exist for those in our communities that have caused havoc and caused crime. Fix those problems and we all benefit by working together to solve problems together.
Mr. President, I appreciate the opportunity to speak to all of the bills in this package, and I look forward to working with my colleagues in the House of Representatives once we move this package over to the House
