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

The motion prevailed.

Senator Stamas’ statement is as follows:

I would be remiss if I didn’t point out a couple of things before we begin voting on these budgets today. A common question I continue to get is, Is it better to have all of the money or none of the money? I have been through both and I am very excited that we have the opportunity to invest these dollars together. We have begun investing these dollars with previous budgets and supplementals that we can all be extremely proud of.

Today, we are working on the fiscal year 2023 department budgets. You will hear from our colleagues of the good things this budget does, but I want to highlight four items—record funding for K-12; a scholarship program to help our children in higher education, community colleges, trade schools, and to reduce their debt; cutting taxes for Michigan families; and paying down long-term debt for our state.

Each year we must review what we have done and balance what we need to do next that is best for Michigan citizens and our communities. I want to thank our subcommittee chairs and members for their input and time on the Senate’s version of the state budget. I ask for your support on these budgets.

Senate Bill No. 835, entitled

A bill to make appropriations for the department of insurance and financial services for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023; and to provide for the expenditure of the appropriations.

3. Amend page 5, line 5, after “$” by striking out “0” and inserting “25,000,000” and adjusting the subtotals, totals, and section 201 accordingly.

4. Amend page 16, following line 9, by inserting:

“ONE-TIME APPROPRIATIONS

Sec. 312. (1) From the money appropriated in part 1 for the post-acute auto injury provider relief fund, $25,000,000.00 must be deposited into the fund.

(2) All money in the fund is appropriated and is available for expenditure. Expenditures are limited to support purposes as specified in this section. Not more than $500,000.00 may be expended from the fund by the department for administrative expenses incurred under this section.

(3) Interest and earnings from the investment of money deposited into the fund must be deposited into the general fund.

(4) Funds appropriated in part 1 for the fund must be used to support distributions to providers facing systematic losses with respect to services offered to persons injured in motor vehicle accidents. The unexpended funds appropriated in part 1 for the fund are designated as work project appropriations and, subject to subdivision (d), any unencumbered or unallotted funds shall not lapse at the end of the fiscal year and are available for expenditures for projects under this subsection until the projects have been completed. The following is in compliance with section 451a(1) of the management and budget act, 1984 PA 431, MCL 18.1451a:

(a) The purpose of the project is to support distributions to providers experiencing systematic losses with respect to services offered to persons injured in motor vehicle accidents.

(b) The project will be accomplished by using state employees or contracts with service providers, or both.

(d) The completion date of the work project is September 30, 2026. Any unexpended funds will lapse to the general fund.

(5) A provider may receive a distribution from the fund only if the charge pertains to a service for which there is no Medicare code and the provider can demonstrate to the department that fees under section 3157 of the insurance code of 1956, 1956 PA 218, MCL 500.3157, have caused the provider to bill at rates that are below the cost of providing the service. The department shall develop metrics for making a determination as to whether a provider meets these criteria.

(6) The department shall administer the fund, including reviewing and approving applications for funding and distributing funding to post-acute auto injury providers. Specifically, the department shall comply with all of the following requirements:

(a) The department shall develop application and review processes. These processes must include criteria established under this section. The department shall utilize data previously submitted during the utilization review process under the utilization review rules, R 500.61 to R 500.69 of the Michigan Administrative Code, to satisfy data requirements in an application.

(b) The department shall develop a process to retrieve any distributed money that is later determined to have been distributed as a result of fraudulent conditions or as a result of fraudulent information. Any fraudulent activity related to the fund constitutes fraud for purposes of the insurance code of 1956, 1956 PA 218, MCL 500.100 to 500.8302. Any funds retrieved under this subdivision may be dispersed according to this section, even if the fund was previously exhausted.

(c) The department shall begin accepting applications for distributions from the fund not later than 30 days after the effective date of the appropriation in part 1 described in subsection (1).

(d) The department shall review all applications and issue a determination not later than 21 days after the receipt of a completed application. A provider that submits an incomplete application is subject to a new 21‑day application period after the completed application is received. If the department determines a distribution from the fund is appropriate, that distribution shall be made to the provider within 7 days of the determination.

(e) The department shall report to the legislature 15 days before the application process opens. This report must include a sample application and any corresponding guidance or rules promulgated by the department.

(f) The department shall consider how charges and payments received in response to those charges in an application relate to similar care charged to and reimbursed by other forms of insurance, including, but not limited to, Medicaid, workers’ compensation, and private health insurance. The department may contract with a third party to access and use available non-motor-vehicle-accident-related health care and insurance data for the purpose of reviewing applications.

(g) The department shall use data collected, developed, and compiled as a result of the utilization review and fee schedule rules promulgated by the department, in accordance with sections 3157 and 3157a of the insurance code of 1956, 1956 PA 218, MCL 500.3157 and 500.3157a.

(h) The department shall not consider lost profits alone as a criterion for awarding money to a provider from the fund. The provider must demonstrate that the provider is experiencing a systematic deficit with respect to services offered to persons injured in motor vehicle accidents.

(i) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the department shall document and make available on a publicly accessible website all information related to approval or denial of distributions of money to providers from the fund.

(j) The department shall award money from the fund to providers on a first-come, first-served basis. Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (b), no money may be paid from the fund after the fund is exhausted.

(k) The department shall not distribute more than $500,000.00 from the fund to a provider in a calendar year.

(7) The department shall provide a quarterly report to the legislature, and shall make the report available on a publicly accessible website, that includes all of the following:

(a) The number of providers that have applied for funding from the fund.

(b) A list of the providers that have been approved for funding and the amounts awarded.

(d) For each provider approved for a funding distribution, metrics on all charges and payments received in response to those charges under section 3157 of the insurance code of 1956, 1956 PA 218, MCL 500.3157, that were determined to be inadequate.

(e) Except for information the disclosure of which is prohibited by law, information on provider charges and payments received in response to those charges and how those charges and payments compare to similar charges and payments in the non-auto insurance market.

(f) The total amount expended and remaining in the fund.

(8) One year after the department begins accepting applications for distributions from the fund or after money in the fund is exhausted, whichever occurs first, the department shall report to the legislature, and make the report available on a publicly accessible website, all of the following:

(a) Aggregated data reported in the quarterly reports under subsection (7).

(b) Analysis of the impact of section 3157 of the insurance code of 1956, 1956 PA 218, MCL 500.3157, and of the distributions from the fund and any recommendations the director may wish to offer to the legislature.

(9) It is the intent of the legislature that information contained in the reports required under subsections (8) and (9) and other relevant data will be used to determine whether changes are necessary to section 3157 of the insurance code of 1956, 1956 PA 218, MCL 500.3157, to ensure adequate services in the future.

(10) As used in this section:

(a) “Fund” means the post-acute auto injury provider relief fund created in this section.

(b) “Provider” means a post-acute brain or spinal injury clinic or other person that renders treatment or training, or a post-acute brain or spinal injury attendant care provider.”.

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

The motion prevailed.

Senator Chang’s statement is as follows:

Last year, this Legislature approved a supplemental budget bill that provided $25 million to help providers who care for catastrophically-injured survivors of automobile accidents. Unfortunately, this money has not necessarily gone out to providers even though the industry knows that more than 100 of them have gone out of business or stopped accepting auto-accident patients. As it currently stands, the application requirements written into the boilerplate in the supplemental were so onerous, the program is virtually useless. My amendment would provide $25 million to remove those restrictions so these funds can actually go out to the providers in need that are serving our many survivors who need the help. Thank you, and I urge you to support this amendment.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Bizon’s statement is as follows:

I wanted to point out some of the highlights of this budget. One is the introduction of judicial continuing education. It has been a pleasure to work with Chief Justice McCormack on this issue. The subcommittee had recommended $400,000 for this line. Also, we have increased judicial accountability through increased funding for the Judicial Tenure Commission. The subcommittee recommends nearly $400,000 GF for increased staffing of the Judicial Tenure Commission. Thank you, and I encourage a “yes” vote.

In The Chair: President

Senators Hollier and Bizon asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Hollier’s statement is as follows:

Over the pandemic it has been incredibly clear that corrections workers have been overtaxed. There is a huge, huge challenge in recruiting members and these FTEs are critically important. We have the dollars to support them, and there is no time where we can say to folks who have been working three and four sets of mandatory overtimes and in some spaces almost living in the facilities that we are going to eliminate spaces when we know they need this time, this space. As mental health continues to be an issue, we need to be saying that we are supporting corrections officers because when so many of us were at home or working remotely, they were in jails. They were doing the hard things and facing communities where COVID-19 was incredibly real, where they were losing colleagues, where their mental health was overtaxed. This is an opportunity to restore funding and to say to them that we have their back and make sure they will have the kinds of services and staffing that are necessary for them to both provide adequate protection, but also most importantly to get the kinds of services and support they need from the employees we have not yet hired.

Senator Bizon’s first statement is as follows:

I look forward to working with my vice chair and colleague from the 2nd District on this issue; however, at this time I would recommend a “no” vote on this amendment.

Senator Bizon’s second statement is as follows:

I just wanted to point out some of the highlights of the Corrections budget. We have continued support for the jail reimbursement program, chance for life—another $1 million. The goodwill flip-the-script which helps job training and mentorship—an increase of $750,000. There is an IBM Kalamazoo pilot program for a half-million dollars for a continuation of the fiscal year 2022 pilot program, as well as residential probation diversion program support increase from $55 to $75 per day. With a background in health care, my goal has always been in this budget to look at outcomes and to see what can be done for the prisoners to be successful once they leave prison. I feel this budget reflects that.

In The Chair: President

Senators Hertel, Horn, Bullock and Santana asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Hertel’s first statement is as follows:

This amendment is to fund the Helmets for Hardhats program. For those of you who don’t know what Helmets for Hardhats is, veterans coming back from overseas who are looking to get involved in the skilled trades. This program directly funds their assistance in becoming part of those trades. We know we have too many coming back from war who need to find good jobs. We know we have not enough people in the skilled trades. It makes perfect sense for the state to be funding this program. This is a direct reason why we can’t just throw money into a fund hoping to get an agreement on tax cuts because this shows a program that needs to be funded in this state helping veterans get involved in our skilled trades. I would ask that you support my amendment.

Senator Horn’s first statement is as follows:

I’d like to tip my hat to my colleague for bringing this amendment to us but I would ask for a “no” vote on this amendment. While I look forward to negotiating these amendments and some of these really good ideas with my colleagues, we want to wait and make sure we have the money in our budget—especially our LEO budget—to accommodate these great ideas. Again, I ask for a “no” vote on this amendment.

Senator Bullock’s statement is as follows:

Last week I said we’re going to disagree, and we will, however we should all agree that serving our communities is the most important obligation. Well, we are not alone in this mission. Focus Hope is a life-changing organization whose mission is to transform lives, overcome racism, poverty, and hardships by treating people with dignity no matter their background. Whether they are in an unfortunate circumstance, returning citizens, or the elderly, Focus Hope provides early learning, educational support, and skills training for employment to underrepresented minorities and populations. They provide meals to the community and so much more to metro Detroit, giving people hope. Our Governor is seeking $1 million for Focus Hope to continue their great works in providing these essential programs. I hope you can agree with me to support this amendment and support Michigan residents.

Senator Horn’s second statement is as follows:

While I thank the gentleman from the 4th District for bringing this amendment to us and while I hope to discuss this with him in our budget negotiations, I do ask for a “no” vote on this amendment.

Senator Santana’s statement is as follows:

Today I rise to offer an amendment for the Boys and Girls Club. Boys and Girls Clubs have been anchored in our communities and provided stability for so many youth across America. Some of you in this very chamber are products of the Boys and Girls Clubs or know someone who has been a product of the Boys and Girls Club. Many in this chamber right here have come to my district to visit the Boys and Girls Club to see all of the opportunities they provide for students who actually have the opportunity to go there for upward mobility. Their parents learn about homeownership as well as they do, as well as entrepreneurship and retail innovation. There’s a partnership that is very beneficial to the community working with local entrepreneurs to provide those types of education supports for our children. They also partner with many influential people in the community such as Big Sean, the Detroit Red Wings, Ford Motor Company, and others who have a vested interest in the future of our children across this state. The opportunity for the state of Michigan to help the next generation to expand these programs to other cities will also be a great return on investment for the state of Michigan. What is evident is that other investors are also willing to match what we do as a state when it comes to investment in our next generation. I encourage support for this amendment and continued conversation so that we can make sure not only are we prioritizing our children in the state budget for education but also extending that investment in after-school programs that are going to make sure they don’t end up in circumstances like our corrections system. I hope to have full support on this amendment in this particular budget.

Senator Horn’s third statement is as follows:

I’d like to thank the gentlelady from the 3rd District for bringing this amendment to us. I do think she has mastered this budget process and I thank her for bringing this to our attention. However, as we’re dealing with enhancement grants and federal dollars, these are items to be negotiated in future budgets and with that I ask for a “no” vote on this amendment.

Senator Hertel’s second statement is as follows:

This budget has cuts and removals from lots of programs recommended by the Governor in order to improve our skilled trades. This is another example of pre-apprentice programs that are needed in our state. These are people needed in order to do the construction jobs that we have today and tomorrow. It’s one of the reasons we have so many shortages and the cost of these programs keeps going up. We ask you to support the amendment to provide pre-apprenticeship programs here in Michigan.

Senator Horn’s fourth statement is as follows:

I do appreciate my colleague bringing this amendment to our attention but I would say this about this amendment. We approved this in last year’s budget and I was disappointed by the single-source bidding done with this, for lack of a better term. We need to do a better job in how this money is distributed and that discussion still needs to happen. With the discussion over how this is funded, the payouts from this will have to be discussed as well. With that, I ask for a “no” vote on this amendment.

Senator Horn’s fifth statement is as follows:

I just want to thank my colleagues on the committee as well, including Senator Hertel as vice chair of the committee. I do want to talk about the LEO budget because it is unique from some of the other budgets we have in the state because it’s so dependent on enhancement grants and federal dollars for doing some of the really good things and some of the priorities that our members have including workforce and talent development, workforce housing or middle-class housing—missing-middle housing as some people call it—but what we’re looking for during negotiations is some of the things we talked about during committee is how are these budget negotiations going to be resolved between the House and the Senate and the administration. They worked out really well last year and so as we resolve some of the ideas about tax cuts and spending for the future and how are our priorities going to lay out, some of the priorities we talked about just in amendments today will be discussed again. I look forward to having those robust conversations and some of the things we can talk about for Michigan’s future including job growth and SOAR funding and numerous other topics that I can certainly have agreements on with the Governor and with my colleagues on the other side of the aisle and with my colleagues on the other side of the rotunda. Those will be coming up as we go along and I just ask for patience on the LEO budget and that if you have any questions, feel free to call our offices, talk to us about your priorities, and how we might be able to implement them and make them all fit together. Our job, Mr. President, for all of us is just to get all our ducks in a rowboat for Michigan’s future. If we’re going to add 1 million people to our population, the question is, How are we going to do this together? This is one of those committees we’re going to be able to do this inside of and so I look forward to those conversations and look forward to working with my colleagues.

In The Chair: President

Senators Alexander, Santana, LaSata and Hertel asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Alexander’s statement is as follows:

My amendment reinstates funding for the King-Chavez-Parks initiative originally created by the Legislature in 1986. The initiative was created to increase the number of Michigan’s academically or economically disadvantaged residents who can complete college degrees and experience career success. There are seven KCP initiatives to assist students from 6th grade through graduate study. One of the initiatives is even named for the late Senator Morris Hood III’s father, Mo Hood, Jr. So, if you supported the late Senator for the person or legislator he was, I look forward to seeing your support for my amendment.

Senator Santana’s statement is as follows:

I just want to reiterate what my colleague from the 5th District said about the King-Chavez-Parks program. As mentioned before, this program is a program designed to help economically disadvantaged citizens to give and provide them the opportunities to actually attend higher education as well as explore those opportunities. Programs like the Future Faculty Fellowship Program was designed to expand opportunities for individuals to become educators in the state of Michigan. Somebody you all know near and dear, my husband, actually was a recipient of the King-Chavez-Parks program for the Future Faculty Fellowship Program. I just want to also iterate that in committee we talked about this briefly, and it was identified that there was some audit reports that were from the OAG’s office 20 years ago indicating that students were not paying their loans back to this particular program, but I want to just say this quite frankly. Through this budget process, I have seen where it seems to me that there is just an attack on poor people and minorities throughout the course of this budget, where programs that actually support minority students and help them to advance themselves are being cut through this budgetary process. We’ve seen in the past where affirmative action has been taken away through this legislative process and students who have the opportunity to go to higher academic achieving institutions are being disenfranchised by this very body. I’m hopeful that through this process, we can continue to have this conversation because definitely people put their money where their mouth is, and each and every one of you in this chamber are definitely determining where your mouth is through this process. I hope that as we continue to move forward and have real, robust conversations about the realness of bringing Michigan forward, that we think about all the populations of people across this state, not just the ones that look like the person you’re looking at in the mirror.

Senator LaSata’s first statement is as follows:

I just want you to know that I along with my office took a deep dive into looking at these programs. We chose to remove the King-Chavez programs from the Higher Education budget because they haven’t been successful, with the exception of one program where there is funding and we continue to fund that program. We continue to fund it even more than what it has currently been given. This has nothing to do with race; this has to do with helping students and I will continue to work with my colleagues to help all students.

Senator Hertel’s statement is as follows:

Oftentimes budgets are an act of compromise and this budget is no different. There are certainly things that I disagree with—some of the boilerplate that I feel is certainly unenforceable and does not have this legislative power to micromanage universities. Also, I think that the King-Chavez programs are important. That being said, the 11 percent increase for higher education in this budget would be the largest in not only my time in the Legislature but my time since I was in college. Those investments are incredibly important. For 30 years, Republicans and Democrats have failed our students. Eighty percent of the cost of college education used to be paid for by the state; 20 percent by families. Now, 20 percent by the state and 80 percent paid for by families. Kids are graduating with an average of $35,000 worth of debt. This helps stem that problem and I’m proud that the Governor has fought for these increases, I’m proud that the other side of the aisle has recognized the importance as well, and this is a good bipartisan effort to invest a large amount into higher education and make college finally affordable. I ask for your “yes” vote.

Senator LaSata’s second statement is as follows:

Mr. President, when it comes to our state’s economic success we are only as strong as our workforce. Enrollment declines means there will be fewer people to fill job vacancies requiring credentialed workers. This budget recognizes that by making post-secondary degrees more accessible and affordable. When our young people put in the work and demonstrate they are capable of being successful, we should ensure they have the freedom to pursue a post-secondary degree that fits their career path. Investing in our students through scholarships and retention and student supports will help college graduates get a good paying job to support themselves and importantly will strengthen Michigan’s economy. I ask that you vote “yes” on Senate Bill No. 842.

Senate Bill No. 843, entitled

A bill to amend 1979 PA 94, entitled “The state school aid act of 1979,” by amending sections 201, 202a, 206, 207a, 207b, 207c, 209a, 210h, 226d, 226g, 229a, and 230 (MCL 388.1801, 388.1802a, 388.1806, 388.1807a, 388.1807b, 388.1807c, 388.1809a, 388.1810h, 388.1826d, 388.1826g, 388.1829a, and 388.1830), sections 201, 206, 207a, 207b, 207c, 209a, 226d, 229a, and 230 as amended and sections 210h and 226g as added by 2021 PA 86 and section 202a as amended by 2020 PA 165, and by adding section 226f; and to repeal acts and parts of acts.

Senators Brinks, Barrett, Chang and MacDonald asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Brinks’ statement is as follows:

These amendments would create a matching grant program for local governments to help make careers in law enforcement more accessible to people who may not otherwise be able to afford such training. This kind of program aims to better engage residents in the process to grow a police force that is more representative and reflective of the community they serve. This is an incredibly important effort if we are to have police forces that interact in culturally-competent ways with the constituents they serve. By addressing this need to connect communities with their police departments, we can work toward building the trust that does not currently exist in many areas right now. I ask for your support of these amendments.

Senator Barrett’s first statement is as follows:

I appreciate the effort put into these amendments but I would like to request a “no” vote on both of them, or rather that I would recommend a “no” vote on both of them. While we want to make sure we are recruiting and retaining qualified members of our law enforcement community—and certainly they’ve been faced with tremendous challenges, historically and very acutely most recently—a lot of the particulars of these amendments don’t meet that objective. They only apply to certain so-called qualified demographic groups. They’re not accessible to every single person who could be the best or adequately prepared or best qualified for a particular position. I don’t think we should be in the business of providing grants or opportunities for only certain demographic groups in our state. I think any opportunity we provide should be available to anyone. We want the absolute best candidates and best-qualified people entering our law enforcement profession and careers. We want to support them as best as we can, and programs that selectively provide opportunities for one group over another are not the appropriate way to do that.

Senator Chang’s statement is as follows:

A recent study by Michigan State University found that in 2020, Black American drivers in Michigan were more likely than others to be stopped by police troopers. My amendment would simply allow the Michigan State Police to continue their analysis of this data from this critical traffic stop study in order to make sure we are making the improvements we need to make in our justice system.

Senator Barrett’s second statement is as follows:

I would recommend a “no” vote on this amendment. It was not able to be adopted in the target we had for funding for this particular budget, as well as the other competing priorities that we had did not allow this to be funded at this time.

Senator MacDonald’s statement is as follows:

I rise in support of Senate Bill No. 837. Part of this bill would provide funding for a jail mental health pilot program. Law enforcement officials have recognized for years that many inmates are suffering from mental illness and/or substance abuse. By focusing on getting these offenders the treatment they need rather than just punishing them for their crimes, we can help reduce crime, improve outcomes for everyone involved, and save taxpayers money. After talking with many people from my district, I know these types of programs will offer a very positive impact. I would encourage your support.

Senate Bill No. 841, entitled

A bill to make appropriations for the state transportation department for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023; and to provide for the expenditure of the appropriations.

Senator Schmidt’s statement is as follows:

I just ask for your support on this bill. It’s a good bill. There’s a number of things I think have been improved. I want to give credit to the Senator from the 12th District. I appreciate the $140 million for rail grade separation—it’s been a long time in coming on that. Also the Senator from the 30th District, the $150 million for local roads and bridges. We’ve seen a huge increase in our funding for road construction and bridge improvements. This bill also includes a freight rail preservation and development grant program. It also includes a statewide port fund. With that, again, I ask for your support on this bill. It’s a good bill.

By unanimous consent the Senate proceeded to the order of

Senators Irwin, Brinks and Victory asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Irwin’s statement is as follows:

If you haven’t noticed, the prices of meat in our supermarkets across the state have been going up. One of the problems we’re facing with high prices for protein is because here in the United States of America, our meat industry is controlled basically by four companies. You’ve got big players like Tyson Foods and JBS and Cargill who essentially control the price of meat in our nation. Here in Michigan, one of the things we noticed during the pandemic was that having those four companies at the choke point for our consumers is hurting our consumers. It’s also hurting our farmers. What we noticed during the pandemic was that some of our small- and medium-sized processors here in Michigan who might like to get set up, might like to get USDA approved face very high costs, very high barriers, to get those approvals. What has been proposed and what I propose here in this amendment is that we invest some of these federal dollars in helping more small- and medium-sized meat processors get set up in our state so that we can diversify our industry, so that we can support our small farmers and so that we can fight high prices at the counter. This is good for our farmers, this is good for rural economic development, and this is good for consumers. I ask you to support this amendment to diversify our meat industry here in Michigan, build jobs, and support our farmers. I ask for a “yes.”

Senator Brinks’ statement is as follows:

Ensuring that all communities in Michigan regardless of their geographic location are given the tools they need to thrive is critical if we want this state to be a place of opportunity for all. This amendment would fund the Office of Rural Development to ensure that investments are made in affordable housing and workforce development, high speed internet services are being installed, and that communities are experiencing continued economic growth and stability. It would simply route $10 million to the Office of Rural Development to support all of these things and I urge your support for this valuable work.

Senator Victory’s statement is as follows:

This budget serves to reinforce and support the department on their core mission. Supporting Michigan agricultural businesses and families and facilitating the production of safe, high quality, Michigan grown and processed food. This budget reaffirms our commitment on a proven and successful program like our local conservation districts, while looking towards a future of Michigan agriculture by layering the ground work for investment in more agricultural production facilities across our state. It seeks to drive down the input cost for our farmers and make food and groceries more accessible and affordable for hard working families. There is more that we can do to improve food security in our state and I am looking forward to continuing those conversations throughout this process. I appreciate all the time and effort that has gone into this budget so far, and I encourage a “yes” vote on Senate Bill No. 827.

Senators Irwin, Santana, Alexander, Brinks, Moss, Hertel and Victory asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Irwin’s statement is as follows:

I rise to ask for your support on this amendment that would allocate $500 million to Hero Pay for our essential workers. One of the things we learned during this pandemic is that there are a whole lot of people out there who are in jobs that during the pandemic we said were essential, but we don’t pay these people like they do essential jobs. You’ve got folks who are working a full-time schedule but still struggling with poverty. We saw these people on a regular basis throughout the pandemic when we would go to grocery stores; we would encounter folks who were working in daycares; we would encounter our first responders, paramedics, other individuals who were out there day in and day out doing essential work but not getting paid like they were essential. What the Governor has proposed in her budget is an allocation of up to $1,000 in Hero Pay for these essential workers who were left out of previous rounds of Hero Pay bonuses. So I offer this amendment to restore that element to this budget and make sure that we respect our essential workers here in the state of Michigan.

Senator Santana’s statement is as follows:

My amendment would provide a retention bonus for firefighters. Many firefighters in our communities are volunteers or part time. Even so, they still choose to be the front line of defense for their friends, neighbors, or complete strangers during a time many of us hope to never face. Our first responders put their lives on the line even knowing the health risks that come with such a position, or they may not come home to their loved ones. This amendment thanks them for their service and commitment and may even help bolster our local fire departments so they can respond in a timely and efficient manner when needed. I ask for your support of this amendment.

Senator Alexander’s statement is as follows:

Our firefighters and EMS workers are among the hardest-working individuals in our state and they have done so much to protect us and keep us safe throughout the pandemic. We cannot forget these heroes in this budget, which is why I’m proposing this amendment that would earmark $10 million to be used for signing bonuses for our firefighters and EMS workers. Quite simply, we need to do more to ensure we are recruiting folks for these important public safety positions and if we have the money to reward folks for their hard work, we should be offering it up-front from their first day on the job. I urge you to vote “yes” in support of this amendment.

Senator Brinks’ statement is as follows:

Despite moving past the worst of this pandemic, the need for additional paramedics remains urgent. Many capable individuals are interested in fulfilling this role but there is a lack of affordable and accessible training programs to get them the education and experience they need to serve their communities. This amendment would provide training grants to ensure our communities have enough paramedics available to continue to meet the urgent needs of their residents. I ask for your support, thank you.

Senator Moss’ statement is as follows:

This amendment is to protect Michiganders against price gouging by increasing resources to the Michigan Attorney General’s office to investigate claims and enforce the law. The Attorney General’s office has had an uptick in complaints about the prices of prescription drugs, bottled water, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and motor vehicle fuel—gas. There is not a driver in the state of Michigan who hasn’t experienced these ridiculously-high gas prices all while oil and gas companies are experiencing record-high profits. They should not be able to exploit an international crisis to gouge us at the pump. My amendment would help bolster efforts in the consumer protection division to initiate additional investigations and file consumer protection actions on behalf of Michigan residents to ensure that bad actors are not taking advantage of Michiganders when we need price relief the most. I ask for the adoption of my amendment.

Senator Hertel’s statement is as follows:

Firefighters are among the most important first responders in our communities. Those who volunteer to work as firefighters help supplement our fire departments with manpower needed to keep residents safe. This amendment will provide $5 million for a volunteer firefighter tax credit which would provide a little bit of financial relief to those who serve our community in this unique and important way. It is our job as legislators to work to make sure our communities are equipped to deal with emergencies and ensuring those who work as firefighters can do so without the fear of financial hardship. This is one small way we can ensure we are fulfilling that duty. Now, I know that my colleague and chair on the other side of the aisle will come up and say that this is the first step of the process. Well I understand that. But the steps these brave souls take into burning buildings mean they should be in the first step. I know he will get up and say he is willing to have a discussion, and I appreciate the discussion. But these people that serve our communities as a volunteer should not have to wait for our discussions. It is a relatively small ask in a form of tax relief. So I would ask that we could include $5 million for volunteer firefighters in the budget moving forward.

Senator Victory’s statement is as follows:

This budget will make strategic investments in the departments it funds. We have added provisions to increase accountability, fund priority programs, and right-size spending. In addition to these items, we have included $2 billion for a tax cut that we have allocated to prioritize spending in the new Senate tax-cut funding to provide tax relief for the people of Michigan. With families facing record inflation, this budget makes it a priority to help Michigan taxpayers keep more of their hard-earned money. By setting these dollars aside, we can have a serious conversation about providing tax relief to hard working Michiganders as a part of the fiscal responsibility and balanced budget. I appreciate all the hard work that has gone into the development of this budget and encourage a “yes” vote on this legislation.

Senate Bill No. 839, entitled

A bill to make appropriations for the department of natural resources for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023; and to provide for the expenditure of the appropriations.

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

The motion prevailed.

Senator Bayer’s statement is as follows:

This amendment would simply continue funding for the Michigan Conservation Corps at the current levels. If you don’t recall, the Conservation Corps is an incredible program that partners with local community groups to provide summer employment opportunities for at-risk youth. This is another proven program for at-risk students primarily living in poverty, primarily students of color that we are also again trying to remove from our budget. The program opens young Michiganders’ eyes to the wonders of nature and improves their quality of life. It exposes them to parks and other outdoor activities that they might not have had yet. It provides up to 300 hours of on-the-job experience and the goal of the program is to help lift at-risk children so they can attend college or find full-time employment when they graduate from high school. I’m proud of the work the DNR in this program has accomplished in Pontiac and in many other underserved communities across our state and I hope we can provide the funding to keep this program going. I urge your support of this amendment.
