Dear God, at the start of this
day, may we experience the beauty, the abundance, and maybe even a little bit
of rain, and power and the joy that is Your wish for all humankind; that we,
who are called to serve, might be a vessel for these things in the lives of
others. May we see the light at the center of our being and believe in the
power within each one of us.
Today, Lord, deliver us to our
passion. Deliver us to our brilliance. Deliver us to our beauty. Deliver us to
our service to others. Deliver us to Your will. Deliver us to do what each of
us is called to do to make this world—our world—a better place for the many,
not just a few.
Guide us by Your wisdom. Support
us by Your power. You desire justice for all. Enable us to uphold the rights of
others and do not allow us to be misled by ignorance or corrupted by fear or
favor. Unite us for the service that each of us is called to. Lord, may
everything we do begin with Your inspiration and continue with Your help, so
that all our prayers and works may begin in You and by You be a happy ending.
In God’s name we say. Amen.
The
President, Lieutenant Governor Gilchrist, led the members of the Senate in

Resolutions

Senate
Resolution No. 30
Senate
Resolution No. 38
Senate
Resolution No. 49
The motion prevailed.
Senators VanderWall, Shirkey, Bizon, Nesbitt, Theis, McBroom,
Zorn, Lauwers, Bumstead,
Horn, Stamas, LaSata,
Outman, Victory, MacDonald and Daley offered the following concurrent
resolution:
Senate
Concurrent Resolution No. 14.
A concurrent resolution to
disapprove the proposed final action taken by the Certificate of Need
Commission on the Certificate of Need (CON) Review Standards for Immune
Effector Cell Therapy (IECT) Services.
Whereas, The Certificate of Need
Commission voted on September 19, 2019, to approve a proposed final action on the
Certificate of Need (CON) Review Standards for Immune Effector Cell Therapy (IECT) Services. The standards would require providers to
receive state approval and third-party accreditation to deliver IECT services to Michigan patients. The proposed final
action was submitted on September 24, 2019
to the joint legislative committee established by MCL 333.22219; and
Whereas, Pursuant to MCL
333.22215, the Legislature may disapprove a proposed final action of the CON
Commission within 45 days after the date of submission to the members of the
joint legislative committee. Legislative disapproval shall be expressed by
concurrent resolution adopted by each house of the Legislature. A proposed
final action by the CON Commission to develop, approve, disapprove, or revise
CON review standards for the initiation, replacement, or expansion of covered
clinical services is not effective if it has been disapproved; and
Whereas, The Certificate of Need
(CON) Review Standards for Immune Effector Cell Therapy (IECT)
Services would limit patient access to innovative, new cancer treatments.
Through their review and approval process, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration already requires comprehensive safety criteria and standards for
facilities providing cell therapies. It is unnecessary to require additional
onerous and costly approvals and accreditations on facilities that go beyond
federal government requirements. Additional requirements may discourage or
prevent sites from providing IECT services in
Michigan; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House
of Representatives concurring), That we disapprove the proposed final action
taken on the Certificate of Need (CON) Review Standards for Immune Effector
Cell Therapy (IECT) Services by the Certificate of
Need Commission on September 19, 2019; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this
resolution be transmitted to the Governor, the Director of the Michigan
Department of Health and Human Services, and the Chairperson of the Certificate
of Need Commission.
Senator MacGregor moved that the
rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority
of the members serving voting therefor.
The concurrent resolution was adopted.
Protests
Senators Brinks, Moss, Santana,
Bayer, Polehanki, McMorrow, Bullock, McCann, Wojno, Alexander, Ananich, Geiss,
Chang and Hertel, under their constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec.
18), protested against the adoption of Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 14.
Senator Brinks moved that the statement she made
during the discussion of the resolution be printed as her reasons for voting “no.”
The motion prevailed.
Senator Brinks’ statement, in which
Senators Moss, Santana, Bayer, Polehanki, McMorrow, Bullock, McCann, Wojno, Alexander, Ananich, Geiss,
Chang and Hertel concurred, is as follows:
It is without question an
unconstitutional legislative veto. When the Legislature wants to act, it has to
act in a binding manner. It has to pass a bill and submit it to the Governor
for her consideration. This resolution circumvents that established process by
excluding the Governor. Today’s attempt to circumvent the executive branch’s
constitutional authority has already been struck down by the Michigan Supreme
Court in Blank v. Department of
Corrections back in the year 2000.
It is on the books and has been for
nearly two decades. In that decision, the Michigan Supreme Court noted, with
approval, the view that the Legislature may act by resolution in an advisory
capacity, but that when it needs to take action having a binding effect on
those outside the Legislature, it may do so only by following the enactment
procedures. That means by passing a bill, not a concurrent resolution. The
question before us today is no different, and it is our duty to uphold the
constitution of this state. I would point out that the subsection that the
majority relies on in its resolution predates the Blank decision by several years. It was written in 1988, well
before the court decision. For this reason, I oppose this resolution and urge
my colleagues to do the same.
Senator VanderWall
asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the
statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator VanderWall’s statement is as follows:
On September 19, 2019 the Certificate
of Need Commission adopted a new standard to regulate immune effector cell
therapy by requiring any facility administering treatments to be accredited by
the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy, better known as FACT.
Immune effector cell therapy is the
future of cancer treatment. Modern medicine has found a way to personalize
medicine at the molecular level and save lives. This treatment has provided
hope for patients and their families who have been told there is no hope. It is
bringing patients back from the brink of death and giving them a new chance at
life—a chance that shouldn’t be taken away by bureaucratic hurdles and
unnecessary regulations. That’s exactly what this new standard proposed by the
Certificate of Need Commission would do. That is why I stand before you today
asking for your support in helping our constituents gain access to the most
innovative cancer treatments in the most appropriate settings.
Currently there are 500 clinical tests
underway in a variety of settings across the country. These trials are being
conducted in both FACT and non-FACT accredited sites. Up until now, the
manufacturers of these life-saving treatments have been able to determine the
most appropriate setting for these clinical trials to take place. In some
instances, it makes sense for patients to stay closer to where they live,
receive the treatment in an outpatient facility, and recover in the comfort of
their home and community. In other instances, it still makes sense for them to
have to travel to a larger hospital setting and receive inpatient treatment.
This is not one-size-fits-all technology. To treat it as such would be a true
disservice to our constituents.
But don’t take my word for it. On
August 7 of this year the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services—CMS—released a National Coverage Decision regarding coverage for CAR
T-Cell cancer therapy. They specifically reviewed FACT accreditation and
determined it was not necessary. Instead CMS and FDA require risk evaluations
and mitigation strategies, better known as REMS. Just so everyone is clear—at
FACT-accredited sites REMS is still required to administer cell therapy.
Requiring REMS and FACT simply creates redundancy and extra cost.
Not only will Michigan be out of sync
with the federal government and Medicare, Michigan will be the only state to
require additional state-level government oversight of this procedure. Let me
reiterate—the only state out of 50. We will become an outlier in restricting
patient access to these exciting new cancer treatments.
So what can we do about it? How can we
protect our constituents and ensure Michiganders don’t lose access to
life-saving cancer treatment? Under current law the Legislature can disapprove
of a proposed final action by the commission with a concurrent resolution to
reject any standard adopted by the Certificate of Need Commission. Senate
Concurrent Resolution No. 14 before us today would do just that to this new
standard.
The stated purpose of Certificate of
Need is to balance cost, quality and access issues, and ensure that only needed
services are developed in Michigan. The new standard increases costs by adding
more bureaucratic red tape, provides no noticeable difference in quality, and
forcing patients out of their home to travel hours will restrict access
unnecessarily.
Colleagues, I urge you to join me today
in voting for this resolution and reject this new standard. Michigan does not
need to add another layer of government bureaucracy at the state level; the two
layers at the federal level are more than enough. Reject this new standard
today and ensure that Michigan cancer patients will have the same access to
treatment facilities as cancer patients in other states.
Thank you, Mr. President, and I urge a “yes”
vote on this resolution.

Statements
The
motion prevailed.
Senator Johnson’s statement is as
follows:
I’d like to thank this body for
passing Senate Bill Nos. 117 and 297 today that will allow for a secure
electronic return process for military ballots for active duty members serving
overseas. The idea came from a bipartisan group of Secretary of States who
traveled to the Middle East and met with military leaders and troops at five
bases, three ships, and in three countries. I also would like to thank Tom
Barrett; he had this type of bill previously; and also thank Senator Paul Wojno.
It’s particularly for troops on
forward deployment in combat zones who are serving on military sea vessels,
because postal service can be very inconsistent. The process will ensure
integrity using the Department of Defense Common Access Card, known as CAC,
used now to transmit classified military documents. The CAC includes an
integrated circuit chip and is required along with the servicemember’s password
and pin to access military networks. Even in remote areas, due to the military
requirements, servicemembers routinely have Internet access. I’d like to thank
you for your support of this important legislation to help our military men and
women vote.
