from diverse backgrounds, abilities, inclinations, and faith traditions. With
this sense of unity in our plurality, we ask You, Lord, to bind us together
across all the divides that we create to separate ourselves from our sisters
and brothers. Provide us with clear paths for cooperation, mutual respect, and
shared enthusiasm for the well-being of our remarkable state. Let us live and
lead in such a way that we are an inspiration to our 49 partner states around
this great country. Embolden our Senators to serve with integrity, compassion,
and conviction. We thank You for their willingness to be the voice of all
people in Michigan, as they seek to do the best for our community. In this
moment, we are thankful for the freedom to choose how we will lead and how we
will be led.
God who provides faith, hope, and
love for all people, we offer our gratitude to You for the wealth of resources
we enjoy in Michigan, but especially that great resource of our people. May all
Michiganders enthusiastically look forward to a bright future filled with peace
and grace for all. May the Michigan Senate be a place of hope for all. With
peace and with love we pray now and always. Amen.

(Filed with the Secretary of
State on September 23, 2019 at 10:40 a.m.)
Respectfully,
Gretchen
Whitmer
Governor
The
following message from the Governor was received:
September 23, 2019
Today I
sign Enrolled Senate Bill 362.
The
Healthy Michigan Plan was a landmark bipartisan accomplishment, extending
coverage to more than 680,000 people,
increasing primary care usage, reducing emergency room reliance, and bolstering
our economy.
The work requirements added to the Healthy Michigan
Plan in 2018, before I became governor, undermine this progress. We know from
other states that many people lose health care simply because they struggle to navigate complex and unduly burdensome
requirements. Moreover, while the supposed rationale is to promote
employment, the result is a loss of health care coverage, and that itself is an
obstacle to employment.
The
legislation I sign today is an important step in addressing work requirements
shortcomings. This bill gives the beneficiary time to verify compliance with
the law and exempts the beneficiary from reporting workforce engagement if the
state can verify compliance through other available data. These changes will
reduce the number of people who must jump hurdles to provide proof of what they
are already doing. Many thanks to the
bipartisan cosponsors of this legislation, Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey
and Senator Curtis Hertel, Jr.
My
administration is doing everything in its power to facilitate compliance with
the work requirements. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is
partnering closely with health plans, providers, and community organizations to
communicate with program participants wherever they are. The Department has
also revamped its approach to written correspondence to speak as plainly and
clearly as possible. With the encouragement of numerous stakeholders, the
Department will defer implementation of new healthy behavior and premium
requirements until October 1, 2020, in order to focus on successful implementation
of the work requirements.
At the
same time, we must recognize realities. The loss of health benefits caused by
work requirements creates another employment barrier for many people who are
trying to work, but find it difficult to do so because of a lack of support and
opportunity. It s not difficult to see why. Sickness is a barrier to finding
and retaining work: you need health care to find a job and to keep one. Adding
complicated reporting and compliance requirements to maintain a vital component
of employability access to health care will not promote employment. As the
first major study to examine Medicaid work requirements recently concluded, these requirements are associated with a loss of
coverage and no significant change in employment. (N. Eng. J. of
Med., 9/12/19).
We also
must pay attention to the troubling experience with work requirements from
around the country. Arkansas saw 18,000 people lose health insurance in 3
months due to work requirements. In New Hampshire, the number of people on
track to lose coverage was so large that a governor who had previously
supported work requirements Gov. Chris Sununu (R) agreed to suspend
implementation. Seeing results elsewhere, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb (R) is now
implementing work requirements with significantly less severe reporting and
more exemptions than in Michigan.
Even
with the improvement in the bill I sign today, Michigan has the most onerous
work requirements in the nation. Earlier this year, independent analysis based
on Arkansas experience suggested that as many as 183,000 people would lose
coverage from Michigan s requirements. While SB 362 meaningfully reduces the
potential impact, the likely coverage loss under this legislation remains
enormous.
Additionally,
the legislature s planned budget makes a bad situation worse. I requested $10
million this year for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to
implement work requirements. One key use of these funds, among others, was to
be a public information campaign about these requirements. As noted above,
experience in Arkansas and New Hampshire shows that individuals often fail to
comply with work requirements because they do not know about them or do not
know how to comply with them. My budget would also have funded training and
referral services to help individuals who need jobs get them. Yet the pending
budget bill provides none of the new resources I requested, and in fact does
not even adequately fund the basic administration costs for the Healthy
Michigan Plan. At the same time, the bill funds dozens of legislators earmarks
totaling tens of millions of dollars.
Accordingly,
it now appears that Republican legislative leaders are less interested in
giving Michiganders the facts and tools to comply with work requirements than
in taking away Michiganders health insurance. As a result, tens of thousands
of Michiganders stand to lose needed health care and suffer medical and
economic harms that responsible leaders could easily have avoided.
It is
not too late to change course. I urge the legislature to put health care for
hard-working Michiganders ahead of rigid ideology. The legislature should
appropriate the funding I requested. And it should enact a provision that
automatically suspends work requirements if data early in 2020 show that
significant numbers of Michiganders are on track to lose their health care due
to the new compliance requirements.
I
believe in the values of hard work and responsibility. But imposing complex,
inadequately funded, bureaucratic rules that cause thousands of Michiganders to
lose health insurance and face new obstacles to work runs headlong against
these values and undermines the very goal these rules aim to achieve. I ask the
legislature to work with me to prevent this outcome.
Sincerely,
Gretchen
Whitmer

Senator
Hertel s statement is as follows:
It is
with great honor that we salute a dedicated state employee who is retiring
after 30 years of service, safeguarding all those who work, assemble at, and
visit the Michigan State Capitol. Sergeant Jeff Held has served with the
Michigan State Police State Security Operations since 1989. At the time he
started, policing looked very different than it does today. DNA testing, cell
phones, internet, tasers, and many other modern-day conveniences were not
invented yet. In fact, we were just talking, and he remembers myself as a small
child playing hide-and-go-seek in the Capitol. He may have admonished me a few
times.
Back
then carbon copies were still used to create and complete police forms. Early
in Sergeant Held s career, he made his first arrest at the civic center, which
is now the location of Constitution Hall, during a Journey concert. Sergeant Held never stopped believing in public service.
He also provided security surveillance during George H.W. Bush s presidential
campaign. This was the start of his exciting career serving and protecting the
citizens and history of Michigan.
During his career, Sergeant Held has taken part in planning
and protecting hundreds of events and demonstra tions
at the Capitol, including eight gubernatorial inaugurations, dozens of State of
the State Addresses, and numerous Silver Bells. Due to the devotion and
commitment of Sergeant Held, the well-being of hundreds of thousands of
visitors and employees have been safeguarded over the past three decades. Today
we commend Sergeant Held on his exemplary career and we present to him this
special tribute in recognition and appreciation of his service to the people of
the state of Michigan. Please join us in congratulating Sergeant Held upon his
retirement and for his 30 years of dedicated service to the people of Michigan.
Senator
Bullock s statement is as follows:
Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to
dwell together in unity. If you ve noticed my weekly purple
attire purple and gold attire it is out of the love for my brotherhood, my
fraternity, the greatest fraternity in the world. The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity,
Inc. was the first international fraternal organization founded on the campus
of a historically black college Howard University located in Washington, D.C.
We the
members are linked by our motto, Friendship is essential to the soul.
Manhood, scholarship, perseverance, and
uplift were adopted as our cardinal principles, which guide us. We are a
national, nonprofit, and nonpartisan brotherhood and public service
organization that has stood the test of time, celebrating our 108th anniversary
this year, and is represented by over 800 chapters throughout the United
States, England, China, Germany, the Bahamas, and the Republic of Korea,
including numerous chapters within the state of Michigan, which has thousands
of members.
Today I
am hosting Ques at the Capitol to educate and stimulate our members regarding
public policy and advocacy, so that the fraternity may remain politically
engaged and advocate in policy implementation here in the state of Michigan as
well as nationally. We are promoting awareness for important legislative issues
impacting our communities and working towards broadening education, behavioral
health, civil rights, and other issues that create a more informed and engaged
electorate.
So I
bring greetings on behalf of our international president, Grand Basileus Dr.
David Marion, and in the Gallery, many members from chapters here in Michigan.
Michigan is part of the talented 10th District, which is led by our District
Representative, Brother Derrick Ivory, who presides over the 10th District,
which includes Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Illinois. So with

In The Chair: President
Senator MacGregor moved that the bill
be given immediate effect.
The
motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor.
The motion prevailed.
Senator
Stamas statement is as follows:
Today
we are completing our work to send our Governor a balanced fiscal year 2020
budget. I want to start by thanking Senate
Majority Leader Shirkey, Speaker Chatfield, Senator Ananich, Senator Hertel,
the members of the Senate and House
Appropriations committees, and our dedicated staffs for all their hard work
finalizing a budget that increases investment in key priorities
meanwhile living within our means. We owe it to the people of Michigan to
deliver a responsible state budget on time that will help improve our state for
families, workers, and job creators. That is what we are doing today.
This
budget funds vital services while increasing funding for roads, schools, and
water protection to record levels without depending on a massive $2.5 billion
tax hike on Michigan families. We do not agree with the Governor on a 45-cent
gas tax hike, yet there are many things within this budget that we do agree on.
Like the Governor s plan, this budget increases funding to fix the roads,
invests $120 million in drinking water protection, provides more funding to
local governments, trains more state troopers and corrections officers, and
boosts funding at all levels of education. The $15.2 billion K-12 budget we
enrolled last week uses existing resources to increase school support by nearly
$400 million. People want the roads fixed and this budget invests $400 million
in new road funding to improve local roads and bridges. If the Governor signs
it, we will have increased annual state transportation spending by over $2
billion since fiscal year 2010. Discussions will continue with the Governor on
how to fund our roads over the long term, but today we will fulfill our
responsibility to all Michigan families and enact a balanced state budget on
time.
I ask
for your support and I respectfully request the Governor to sign this budget
and keep our state open for business.
Senator
MacGregor submitted the following:

Committee of Conference on the matters of difference between the two Houses

In The Chair: President

The
motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor.
The motion prevailed.
Senator MacGregor s statement is as
follows:
Before you is the
fiscal year 2020 budget for the Department of Health and Human Services. At
$26.45 billion, this is the state s largest departmental
budget and in my personal opinion, it s a good one. The conference committee
reported the bill without any no votes.
Some of the highlights in this bill are
that it increases funding for child advocacy centers; an increase for Centers
for Independent Living for people with disabilities; increasing more for Flint
for ongoing programs, such as nutritional and health care services for children
who may have been exposed to lead; dedicating additional funding for state and
local efforts in response to your local health department and all your local
issues you re dealing with in your local districts for the second year in a
row; we increased the support for rural hospitals and helped improve access to
OB-GYN services in rural areas; there s an increase to improve access to mental
health and additional beds throughout the state; a direct care worker wage
increase to help seniors stay in their homes instead of going to nursing homes;
we re investing in the MiDocs program to help boost the number of medical
residents in underserved areas; funding 15 additional needed personnel at the
Kalamazoo Psychiatric Hospital; increasing payment rates for Medicaid private
duty nursing services; and requiring that DHHS focus on hiring child protective
service staff to address issues raised in a 2018 audit.
I am pleased that this budget received
such bipartisan support and that the Governor agreed with many of the items in
here as well as colleagues on the other side of the aisle, which I thank them
for working with me on this tremendous, large very large budget. This is a good
DHHS budget which contributes to an overall fiscal year 2020 budget. It s
balanced without increasing any taxes, it s fiscally responsible, and it s on
time. I encourage your support.

In The Chair: President

be given immediate effect.
The
motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor.
The motion prevailed.
Senator
LaSata s statement is as follows:
As a
former teacher, I believe students benefit from a lifelong learning model. And
as chair of the Senate s Universities and Community Colleges Appropriations
Subcommittee, I believe it is critical that we support a funding structure that
reflects our state s commitment to lifelong learning. This, I believe, is
essential to making Michigan a top state for job providers and talented
workers, which benefits the economy and all of us. That s why I believe funding
and supporting higher education from the School Aid Fund further supports our K
through Forever philosophy.
As far
as this budget is concerned, the operations increase to community colleges is
modest and not what we would prefer in an ideal situation, but it is a
realistic budget based on the resources we have and lives within its means.
Areas
of agreement with Governor Whitmer this budget boosts funding for community
colleges and invests $3.6 million to reduce retirement obligations for our
community colleges. This budget also fully funds the Indian tuition waiver
program, a priority of colleagues on both sides of the aisle.
At the
end of the day, this budget supports the mission of our community colleges to
produce successful graduates ready to meet the needs of employers and keep
Michigan competitive.

In The Chair: President
Senator MacGregor moved that the bill
be given immediate effect.
The
motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor.
The motion prevailed.
Senator
Bumstead s statement is as follows:
The
2020 budget for the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy furthers
our commitment to Michigan s water quality and our vast natural resources.
Throughout
this process, I developed a great partnership with EGLE Director Liesl Clark
and my Democratic colleagues. Water quality is not a partisan issue and I want
to make sure this budget reflects the input I received. The result is a budget
that expands portions of the Governor s recommendation while also including
requests from the department and my colleagues in the Legislature.
This
budget includes a $120 million appropriation to support water quality
modernization throughout the state. This critical investment includes $40
million that will be used to address PFAS and other water quality contaminants,
$30 million for local communities to assist them with implementing the new Lead
and Copper Rule, and includes $7.5 million for grants that will allow for
private well testing throughout Michigan.
Air
quality remains a critical issue for our state and I am grateful that my
colleagues supported $2 million in General Fund dollars that will supplement
changes in air emissions fees for Michigan businesses. The quality of Michigan s
air continues to drastically improve and it is imperative that our job
providers aren t penalized because of federal policies that have not been
modernized.
Michigan s environment has experienced challenges
recently and the staff at the Department of Environment, Great
Lakes, and Energy have been working tirelessly to understand and appropriately
address growing concerns with PFAS contamination in the state. Michigan is leading
our nation s efforts to combat PFAS and ensure that our residents can have
faith in the quality of the water when they turn on their faucets. It is great
news that the department will have increased support for this and other areas
because of funding from the Renew Michigan s Environment program provided in
this budget.
The
2020 Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy budget is proactive,
responsible, and is the product of open communication and bipartisanship; and I
urge my colleagues to vote yes on Senate Bill No. 137.
Senator
McMorrow s statement is as follows:
I m
proud to stand here in support of Senate Bill No. 137. We are the Great Lakes
State, and this is something that since day one of taking office I have heard
from my constituents a grave concern about the quality of our water. As we are
starting to see not only in other places in Michigan, but all around the
country now, what happened in Flint is not an anomaly. We all have the same
underground infrastructure. It s all aging. Had we known then what we know now,
would we have built our infrastructure differently? Of course. But my municipalities have come to me with
concerns about the cost and concerns about the constitutionality, but
knowing that it is our responsibility and our obligation to protect all of our
residents and to continue to lead the way as the rest of the country decides
how to grapple with this issue. It is a step in the right direction. I m
encouraged that all of my municipalities will be appreciative that we are
committed to water quality for every single one of our residents, and I thank
my colleagues for all the work on this budget.

In The Chair: President
Senator MacGregor moved that the bill
be given immediate effect.
The
motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Barrett s statement is as
follows:
These two bills before us, colleagues,
fund the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs and the Michigan State
Police. Within these bills are appropriations to fund the National Guard
tuition assistance program as well as additional armory maintenance money that
is much needed. We also appropriated money to a peer-to-peer,
veteran-to-veteran program of volunteers to assist veterans facing hardships in
an attempt to drive down our veteran suicide rate and acknowledge the hardships
our veterans are facing. It also requires a formal agreement to be formed
between the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs and the Department of
Health and Human Services to share information across agencies so that we can
better serve our veterans who are seeking assistance from the state of Michigan,
and it funds a study to see how we can better serve those veterans who are
eligible for federal benefits.
In the State Police budget, we have
focused predominantly on increasing trooper strength. We are adding a net total
of more than 50 troopers to our department strength. It also funds the Office
of School Safety and appropriates dollars to purchase new equipment and
technology upgrades to implement a first responder communication network that
will enhance the effectiveness of our troopers across the state, particularly
in rural areas. We also continued funding for the secondary road patrol program
that is vitally important to local sheriffs and communities across our state.
I ask my colleagues today for yes
votes on Senate Bill Nos. 144 and 147 and for the Governor of our state for a
signature to affirm our commitment to these men and women who do the hard work
of protecting us each and every day.
Senator Schmidt submitted the following:

McCann, under their constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18),
protested against the adoption of the first conference report on Senate Bill
No. 149.
Senators Hollier and Hertel moved that
the statements they made during the discussion of the conference report be
printed as their reasons for voting no.
The motion prevailed.
Senator
Hollier s statement is as follows:
Michigan
has some of the worst roads in the country a fact that is abundantly clear to
me once a month as I make the long and treacherous drive to Columbus, Ohio
where it is so clear because driving through Michigan is like rumble strips. I
get to Ohio and I m almost falling asleep on the road because the roads are so
smooth and I come back and I don t need to see the sign welcoming me back to
Michigan. I feel it on the road as my car starts to gyrate. Michigan s roads
are terrible and we ve got to fix them. I don t think that this transportation
budget is the time to do that. The leadership has agreed that we re going to
come back and fund and do a long-term solution for transportation, and this isn t
it. In this budget, we should just do the things that we need to do and not
spend any General Fund dollars.
For all
of you, I think we can all agree that there is never a time that we want
Buckeyes to be better at anything than us. That s what we see with Ohio roads.
In Michigan, we see a host of cosmetic fixes and one-time explanations on how
we re going to fund a problem that needs a real solution. I will agree with
every member of this chamber who says no one wants to pay new taxes. No one
wants to pay higher taxes. But every single one of us is tired of paying the
cost of indecision which, for southeastern Michiganders, is something like $800
per year according to a recent Crain s report. That s something I know a lot
about because my wife gets a flat tire every couple months. I am almost a
professional at changing tires because I live in Detroit and our roads are
terrible. When you talk about that, that s driving on Ryan or Mound or Harper,
on Davison, it s crossing over roads that are routinely shut down because rebar
is popping out. There s a spot on Davison where there is a crater-size pothole,
large enough for me to lay down in, with my good friend the Lieutenant
Governor. It s not impressive that I can lay in a pothole, but when you can see
this man lying flat down in a space that you can t drive a car across, that
talks about the danger that we have in this community. Many of you have often
heard me talk about my father and his service as a firefighter and you got a
chance to see him earlier today. When we talk about how dangerous it is for
emergency vehicles, there are whole roads they can t use in my community that
are ruined because of this very issue.
But let s
talk a little bit about what this package does. It means $106 million in
funding which sounds like a lot of money, except it s 98 lane-miles of the
roughly 6,300 we have in Michigan, which is about one and a half percent. We re
talking about spending money to spend one and a half percent. We may as well
not do that. We may as well not divert those dollars that can be spent on
children, on young kids, in the School Aid Fund, if we had that $105 million,
we could have fully funded pre-K education for Detroiters, for folks all across
this state. That s how we should be spending these General Fund dollars on
programs that will make an impact, not saying we made a difference, we fixed
some roads. Ninety-eight miles is not fixing some roads. It s telling people
that we are again wasting valuable tax dollars.
I think
for the last eight years, we got the constant refrain that we needed to root
out fraud, waste, and abuse, that we needed to be more lean. I ll take your
word for it if that s what Republicans did over the last eight years of
control, we ll take that for granted. We ll accept that. But we can t continue
to say we can do more with less. We have to finally admit that you get what you
pay for and we are not paying for good roads. We are not paying for safe
bridges. We are not paying for things that make a difference.
You all
have gotten a chance to meet my daughter. She will be two in December, but the
greatest concern I had as I was rushing my wife to the hospital on the Lodge at
five in the morning was not how quickly am I going to get there but am I going
to break a rim taking my wife in an emergency situation driving as fast as I
could possibly go am I going to break a rim? That is the reality we face every
day. The reality that folks have to deal with of bridges collapsing. We re
talking about spending enough money to fix just four bridges in this budget. We re
going to fix just four bridges.
TRIP,
the national transportation research group, said that Michiganders lose $4.6
billion in depreciation to their vehicles every year, and all of you know that.
You ve all seen it on your cars with your suspensions with the impact on your
resale value. That is $1.9 billion in difference to the $2.5 billion the
Governor said we needed to raise. Michiganders are already paying for it. The
question is are we going to pay to fix it or are we going to continue to pay
for it to be broken, for it to continue to cause us issues, because the only
people who are making money in Michigan on roads are the auto repair dealers,
the body shops, who are making money hand over fist because every day, we are
all forced to spend money that we don t have.
Senator Hertel s statement, in which
Senators Polehanki, Moss, McMorrow, Bullock, Wojno, Alexander, Geiss, Ananich,
Brinks and McCann concurred, is as follows:
Today I rise to
offer my strong opposition and no vote explanation to this
woefully-inadequate transportation
budget. A budget that does little to address our crumbling infrastructure. A
budget that robs from the communities in this state that most need the
funding and a note to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle from Oakland
and Macomb counties, when I say they are robbing from your communities, you are
exactly who I m speaking of. A budget that will not help us fix our roads. It s
a budget that lacks a real road funding plan.
The majority promised a road funding
plan by the Mackinac Policy Conference at the end of May. Still no plan. Turns
out we learn four months later during the Republican policy conference the plan
is to let some roads literally turn to gravel. Right island, wrong plan. Four
months late, and at least a billion dollars short.
I ve heard my colleagues talk about
record funding. Let s be very clear record funding is just another gimmick. We
had record funding in 2016 and then in 2017. Did we make progress fixing the
roads? The answer is no. Record funding in 2018 turns out the roads actually
got worse. Record funding in 2019 how are the roads you re driving on today?
Turns out you can t fix potholes with talking points. The only real record that
is being broken today is another year another year when the Legislature comes
up and says they solved the problem and a record year of failing to do so
again. In 2015, 39 percent of our roads were in poor condition. Now it s 48
percent. Band-Aids and one-time spending measures have not worked.
The definition of insanity is doing the
same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Record funding
means nothing if you don t address the full problem. Experts have told us that
without additional funding, the percentage of trunkline and local roads in poor
condition will nearly double within the next 10 years and would likely include
two-thirds of the state s entire roadway system by 2028. They also told us we
needed $1.2 billion in 2015, and because we did not solve the problem then, we
now need $2.2 billion. Every year we fail to pay the bill, the interest just
keeps adding up. It s like we took a loan from a bad loan shark. The juice has
been running the entire time. Michiganders keep paying the bills with broken
axles and bent rims, and when somebody finally finally comes around to solving
this problem, it will cost more and that is the ultimate hidden tax on our
taxpayers. People are frustrated and I don t blame then. They have been lied to
by politicians who lack the political courage to tell people what the real
problem is and what it s going to actually take to solve it.
Three years ago, after the last tax
increase in this body, one member of the majority promised their constituents
at a coffee hour that we would be driving on diamonds by now. So, we were going
to be driving on diamonds; now the majority is promising we will be driving on
gravel. In three years, we re going to be driving on broken promises. It s like
one of those terrible stories where you find out your two-carat wedding ring is
actually cubic zirconium. I hope the Michigan people got a prenup.
Michiganders want our roads fixed. But
more than that, Michiganders want a government that works for them. They don t want partisan bickering or
ridiculous Twitter posts or talking points. They don t need leaders who
will stand up and say what they re against over and over again but sit down
when it s time to find real solutions.
We need to get back to the negotiating
table with a real plan to finally fix the damn roads. Until we do that; until
we put the partisan bickering aside; until we put the Twitter and Facebook
posts and all that garbage aside and sit down in a room and actually solve this
problem; until we sit down and actually make an agreement amongst all of us to
work together to solve the problems for the people, I ask you all to vote no
on this budget.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Schmidt s statement is as
follows:
I d like to thank the staff and my
colleagues in both the House and the Senate for all of their work on this
transportation appropriations bill. Before us today is a transportation budget
that provides record funding for road repairs $5.39 billion to be precise that s
an increase of nearly 7.5 percent. If signed into law, Michigan would spend
more in the coming fiscal year on roads than at any other time in our state s
history. And we d be doing it without a 45-cent gas tax increase.
I admit, there is still plenty more
work to be done, but by providing record funding through existing revenue that
is a tremendous step in the right direction. The transportation budget before
us is not built upon a massive tax hike that cannot pass, but rather it s built
on existing revenues and takes another big step addressing our roads problem
that is decades in the making. And if you feel like you ve heard the words record
funding a lot recently, it s because it is worth highlighting. As I have said
from the podium last week, a budget is a statement of priorities. Our record
school funding budget that passed last week was a statement that we prioritize
and value education. And this transportation budget makes clear our commitment
to fixing Michigan s road. A veto of this budget would halt road construction
all across our state, delaying the progress being made to improve our
infrastructure. Workers and machines would be made idle and deterioration would
take over. I ask for a yes vote on this opportunity to provide record funding
for road and bridge repairs in Michigan while we continue to work on a
longer-term road plan.

Before you is the budget for the
Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. This budget delivers on two
key components that our agricultural industry depends on. One, it would provide
timely inspection for our growers, producers, and processors. And two, it will
ensure that we continue to provide safe food and secure food for the good people
of Michigan. Beyond those two fundamental operations, it supports the highly
successful Double Up Food Bucks program and makes strong investment in growing
our value-added facilities, including significant grant support for hoop
houses. It also provides funding for our county fairs to make much needed
improvements to their grounds that provide modern and complete facilities as
well as to promote our many food-themed festivals and events. It also gives
support outreach to help our farmers and their families dealing with the stress
and pressure that is too real in this time of economic distress in the
agricultural economy.
This is not a large budget, but
it provides some of the most important services and benefits for the good
people of Michigan.

Protests
Senators Bayer, Hertel, Geiss, Ananich,
Alexander, Bullock, Santana and Wojno, under their constitutional right of
protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against the adoption of the first
conference report on House Bill No. 4241.
Senator Bayer moved that the statement
she made during the discussion of the conference report be printed as her
reasons for voting no.
Senator Bayer s statement, in which
Senators Hertel, Geiss, Ananich, Alexander, Bullock, Santana and Wojno
concurred, is a s follows:
Today I rise for my no vote
explanation in opposition to the Department of Natural Resources budget. As we
know, the DNR is devoted to the conservation, protection, management, use, and
enjoyment of our state s natural and cultural resources for current and future
generations. What better way to serve this mission than the Michigan
Conservation Corps, a program that employs at-risk youth from Detroit, Pontiac,
Saginaw, and Flint on summer natural resources projects while they learn
invaluable job skills. Sadly, this conference committee budget eliminated the
placeholder for this program that was negotiated earlier in the process.
Because of this, I must vote no on this bill. I appreciate the hard work that
went into this budget, which is good, just not good enough. So I respectfully
urge my colleagues to vote no on this budget.
A bill to make appropriations for the
legislature, the executive, the department of the attorney general, the
department of state, the department of treasury, the department of technology,
management, and budget, the department of civil rights, the department of
talent and economic development, and certain other state purposes for the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2020; to provide for the expenditure of the
appropriations; to provide for the disposition of fees and other income
received by the state agencies; and to declare the effect of this act.

In The
Chair: President
Senator MacGregor moved that the bill
be given immediate effect.
The motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor.
Protests
Senators Irwin, Bayer, Hertel,
Geiss, Ananich, Santana, McMorrow, Wojno, Hollier, Moss, Polehanki, McCann,
Bullock and Alexander, under their constitutional right of protest (Art. 4,
Sec. 18), protested against the adoption of the first conference report on
House Bill No. 4236.
Senator Irwin moved that the
statement he made during the discussion of the conference report be printed as
his reasons for voting no.
The motion prevailed.
I oppose this bill today because our
institutions of higher learning are falling farther and farther behind. Each
year this Legislature provides paltry, tiny increases for higher education that
fall far short of inflation, putting the squeeze on every one of our 15 public
colleges and universities here in the state of Michigan. In an environment
where inflation and costs are rising for higher education institutions at 2.8
percent, to offer these institutions a 0.9 percent increase is a mistake for
our state. It s going to put the squeeze on these institutions further, and
what that means is that tuition is going to continue to go up. I don t know if
all my colleagues have realized, but we have a student loan crisis in this
country. Higher education has been pushed farther and farther outside the reach
of smart, capable young people who don t happen to come from wealthy families.
This is a problem for our state. We cannot continue to check ourselves out of
the competition for innovation and good jobs. We should be fighting, competing,
and striving for our state to land good employers and to be the place where new
ideas drive the future economy.
I want to acknowledge the good work
that many of my colleagues have done on this, particularly I want to
acknowledge the good work that some of my colleagues have done on trying to
realign the funding for the Indian tuition waiver. That has been addressed in
this budget and I think it s important to acknowledge that some of our
institutions that have been hurt by this Legislature s unwillingness to meet
our commitment to the tribes are no longer going to be hurt relative to other
institutions.
I m still going to vote no on this
bill because of two main problems. One, the sufficiency of resources. 0.9
percent is not enough for these institutions, and this is supposed to be a good
economy. I think we all know the business cycle goes up and goes down, and this
is a moment when other states and nations are taking advantage of a decent
economy to invest in education. We re failing to do that here with this budget.
Also, I want to point out that Michigan continues to be a lagger in need-based
financial aid. Michigan is in the bottom
quartile. We are one of the worst states to be a needy, but smart student who
wants to go to college. I think we need to change that. For those two
reasons, I will be voting no on this budget and I hope that in future years,
we can start to address this longstanding neglect of higher education. I want
to point out that there is still one institution, one university here, Wayne
State University, that s getting less money than they were getting in 2010. We re
not talking about inflation-adjusted dollars; we re talking about nominal
dollars. We can t expect Michigan to compete for the good jobs of the future if
we continue to check out of the competition for innovation in higher education.
Senator
LaSata asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved
that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator LaSata s statement is as
follows:
As I mentioned before, I believe
students benefit from a lifelong learning model and it s critical that we
support a funding structure that reflects our state s commitment to learning.
The higher education budget before you includes a modest increase for
operations again, not what we would prefer in an ideal situation. But it is a
realistic budget and gives priority to scholarships which directly help
students to lessen the burden of ever-increasing tuition costs.
This budget restores the Governor s
plan to cut the tuition incentive program; increases the amount of Michigan
tuition grants to $3,000 per student; and fully funds the Indian tuition waiver
program, a priority of colleagues on both sides of the aisle. Areas of
agreement with Governor Whitmer this budget boosts funding for public universities.
Affordability is critical. We are keeping tuition restraint incentives,
investing over $32 million in the Michigan Competitive Scholarship and $38
million in Michigan tuition grants. This budget invests over $93 million to
reduce retirement obligations for our universities and community colleges.
Ladies and gentlemen, this budget
supports the mission of our universities to produce successful graduates and
serve as resources to this state. And it contributes to the entire fiscal year
2020 budget that is balanced, without tax increases, is fiscally responsible,
and is on time.
Senator
MacGregor moved that the Senate proceed to consideration of the following bill:
House Bill No. 4231
The motion prevailed.
A bill
to make appropriations for the department of corrections for the fiscal year
ending September 30, 2020; and to provide for the expenditure of the
appropriations.
The
House of Representatives has adopted the report of the Committee of Conference
and ordered that the bill be given immediate effect.

form at any time.
(2) The department shall assure that any such
signed release forms follow a prisoner upon transfer to another department
facility or to the supervision of a parole officer.
(3) The form shall be placed online, on a
public website managed by the department.
Sec. 804. The department shall report
quarterly to the senate and house appropriations subcommittees on corrections,
the senate and house fiscal agencies, the legislative corrections ombudsman,

specialty medication, and what outstanding rebates are expected to be received.
Sec. 812. (1) The department shall provide
the department of health and human services with a monthly list of prisoners
newly committed to the department of corrections. The department and the
department of health and human services shall enter into an interagency
agreement under which the department of health and human services provides the

staff, and the ratio of noncustody institutional staff to prisoners for each
correctional institution.
Sec. 913. (1) From the funds appropriated in
part 1, the department shall focus on providing required programming to
prisoners who are past their earliest release date because of not having received
the required programming. Programming includes, but is not limited to, violence
prevention programming, assaultive offender programming, sexual offender
programming, substance abuse treatment programming, thinking for a change
programming, and any other programming that is required as a condition of
parole.
(2) It is the intent of the legislature that
any prisoner required to complete a violence prevention program, sexual

is authorized to conduct a criminal background check on a visitor.
Sec. 924. The department shall evaluate all
prisoners at intake for substance abuse disorders, serious developmental disorders, serious mental illness, and other
mental health disorders. Prisoners with serious mental illness or serious developmental disorders shall
not be removed from the general population as a punitive response to behavior
caused by their serious mental illness or
serious developmental disorder. Due to
persistent high violence risk or severe disruptive behavior that is
unresponsive to treatment, prisoners with serious mental illness or serious
developmental disorders may be placed in secure residential housing programs
that will facilitate access to institutional programming and ongoing mental
health services. A prisoner with serious mental illness or serious
developmental disorder who is confined

prisoners less than 18 years of age who have serious mental illness, serious
emotional disturbance, or a serious developmental
disorder and need to be housed separately from the general population.
Prisoners less than 18 years of age who have serious mental illness, serious
emotional disturbance, or a serious developmental
disorder shall not be removed from an
existing placement as a punitive response to behavior caused by their
serious mental illness, serious emotional disturbance, or a serious developmental disorder. Due to
persistent high violence risk or severe disruptive behavior that is
unresponsive to treatment, prisoners less than 18 years of age with serious
emotional disturbance, serious mental illness, or serious developmental
disorders may be placed in secure residential housing programs that will
facilitate access to institutional programming and ongoing mental health
services. A prisoner less than 18 years of age with serious mental illness,
serious emotional disturbance, or a serious
developmental disorder who is confined in these specialized housing
programs shall be evaluated or monitored by a medical professional at a
frequency of not less than every 12 hours.
(c) Implement a specialized offender success
program that recognizes the needs of prisoners less than 18 years old for
supervised offender success.

Sec. 940. (1) Any lease, rental, contract, or
other legal agreement that includes a provision allowing a private person or
entity to use state-owned facilities or other property to conduct a for-profit
business enterprise shall require the lessee to pay fair market value for the
use of the state-owned property.
(2) The lease, rental, contract, or other legal
agreement shall also require the party using the property to make a payment in
lieu of taxes to the local jurisdictions that would otherwise receive property
tax revenue, as if the property were not owned by the state.
Sec. 942. The department shall ensure that
any contract with a public or private party to operate a facility to house
state prisoners includes a provision to allow access by both the office of the
legislative auditor general and the office of the legislative corrections
ombudsman to the facility and to appropriate records and documents related to
the operation of the facility. These access rights for both offices shall be
the same for the contracted facility as for a general state-operated
correctional facility.
Sec. 943. The
department shall submit a report by May 1 to the senate and house
appropriations subcommittees on corrections, the senate and house
fiscal agencies, the legislative corrections ombudsman, and the state budget

MISCELLANEOUS
Sec. 1009. The department shall make an
information packet for the families of incoming prisoners available on the
department s website. The information packet shall be updated by February 1.

electronic mail accounts, how to visit in person, proper procedures for filing
complaints or grievances, the rights of prisoners to physical and mental health
care, how to utilize the offender tracking information system (OTIS),
truth-in-sentencing and how it applies to minimum sentences, the parole process,
and guidance on the importance of the role of families in the reentry process.
The department is encouraged to partner with external advocacy groups and
actual families of prisoners in the packet-writing process to ensure that the
information is useful and complete.
Sec. 1011. The department may accept in-kind
services and equipment donations to facilitate the addition of a cable network that provides programming that
will address the religious needs of incarcerated individuals. This
network may be a cable television network that presently reaches the majority
of households in the United States. A
bilingual channel affiliated with this network may also be added to department
programming to assist the religious needs of Spanish-speaking inmates.
The addition of these channels shall be at no additional cost to this state.
Sec. 1013. From
the funds appropriated in part 1, priority may be given to funding reentry or

The
motion prevailed.
Senator
Hertel s statement, in which Senators Bullock, Geiss, Moss, Wojno, Santana,
Alexander and McMorrow concurred is as follows:
Colleagues,
I rise to give my no vote explanation to the Department of Corrections
budget.
In this
body we claim to value public safety and we claim to be fiscally responsible.
This budget does not reflect those values. This corrections budget puts our
communities at risk and plays politics with our county jails. It throws all the
good work we ve been doing on criminal justice reform out the window.
We all
know what the problem is and we know what it s going to take to reverse the
current trends. We have passed bills in this body to make the long-term
necessary changes and we have spoken platitudes about criminal justice reform.
But then when the department needs to implement those plans, we as a body are
directing them to implement this budget, which pulls the rug out from beneath
them. This budget, that reduces General Fund spending by 47 million dollars,
not because of what the Department of Corrections has done, or failed to do, or
what they need, but because some legislators are wanting to make permanent cuts
to effective public safety programs simply so they can claim they raised
temporary road funding.
Let s
talk about impossible choices. For anyone who has spoken to MDOC staff, you
know their top concern is the number of vacancies in facilities, which results
in mandated overtime and burnout. The MDOC sought $10.5 million to address this issue in the coming fiscal year. But the
conference report only provides two-thirds of that funding. And even
that funding the two-thirds is not real. Rather, the conference report directs
the department to spend funds appropriated in previous years that the
department was utilizing for projects and improvements at their facilities.
Imagine that choice. You can hire staff or you can make the investments in your
facilities that are needed to protect staff and the public. Who in this chamber
is willing to look a corrections officer in the face and tell them what choice they
would make? More safety so they have less overtime or less safety in the actual
infrastructure of their own buildings?
MDOC
needs to replace the GPS tethers that monitor thousands of offenders in our
community. But rather than provide actual funding, the conference report again
only goes as far as allowing MDOC to spend funds that were previously
appropriated for other projects. Should we be asking the department, and the
citizens of Michigan, to make this impossible choice? Would you rather have
prisons that operate safely or tethers that operate at all, because the
Legislature doesn t see fit to provide you with both.
Many of
you have visited the MDOC s operations the last few years as they have become a
national leader in vocational training and employment for offenders. You ve
heard from employers in your district who have spoken about the value of having
a corrections system that prepares people for work and return on investment for
the state from this approach. And yet, the budget before us seeks to damage
those programs before killing them outright next year. Phony fund shifts can t
hide the fact that this budget will result in a historic cut in prisoner education, job training, and some of those
effective programs from preventing future crime.
Why are
we forcing ourselves to make the choice between having effective programs that
save us money versus the long-term, short-term thinking of cutting these
programs to have just a little more to put towards roads for one year. I m sure
we will hear that the impact of this budget is minimal, that funds are being
shifted here, and that these various accounting gimmicks will have little
concerns. But ask yourself this: do cuts to community corrections and other
successful diversion programs sound like no cause for concern? Does the
reduction in funding for substance abuse treatment in the middle of an opioid
crisis make sense? Or would reductions in reimbursements to local units of
government be no big deal to the local law enforcement in your own counties? Does
elimination of the vocational villages over the next two years sound like
Michigan is moving forward or backwards? And finally, should we be willing to
settle for anything other than a real solution to the need for adequate
staffing at our correctional facilities?
We find
ourselves having to answer these questions about this budget for no reason
beyond the inability of some to propose a real long-term solution to Michigan s
infrastructure needs. As work continues on this issue, join me in defeating
this budget, which places impossible choice in front of the citizens of
Michigan that they should not have to make. Our citizens deserve a corrections
system that keeps them safe, actively works towards rehabilitation, and is
focused on saving taxpayers money through the long-term success of the
department. This budget fails to accomplish any of those important goals, and I
ask my colleagues to vote no.
The
motion prevailed.
Senator
Barrett s statement is as follows:
This is
a fiscally-responsible, prudent, and well-thought-out budget for the Department
of Corrections, something I have a great bit of commitment to. I don t know from
everyone in this chamber, but I might be the only one who s actually spent time
in a corrections environment doing the day-to-day work and securing the
facilities of our nation s interests in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It s not easy
work and it s not very fun but it s necessary. It certainly bears a resemblance
to what our corrections officers put up with each and every day here in our
state. I did that job for a year and I couldn t wait to come back home. A lot
of our corrections officers do this for a whole career and they really deserve
our utmost respect.
In this
budget today before us, we ve added additional funding for custody staff
training and we ve also made an investment in improving the quality of training
they receive. We ve also included funding for the necessary tether program
because the tethers currently being used will not be functional in just a few
months. We have $1.5 million included for the Goodwill Flip the Script program,
which I know is a priority for many members in this body. We also have added
funding for the treatment of hepatitis C. To my colleague who spoke before me,
yes, we have appropriated dollars that haven t been spent by the department.
They have tens of millions of dollars that have not been spent and we are
diverting some of that funding to priorities for this budget year. I stand
behind that decision as being fiscally responsible. In addition, as a nod of
compassion to those who are incarcerated, this budget allows pregnant women who
are incarcerated to have a prescreened and cleared guest join them for the
delivery of their child, something that is an important movement in this
direction as well.
This
budget is responsible, will keep our communities safe, and adheres to the
priorities we have in this Legislature, and I ask my colleagues for a yes
vote.
