We wish you the best in your endeavors down the street; we’re glad you’re not going to be too far away. We look forward to working with you in your new role.

The following bill was read a third time: Senate Bill No. 716, entitled A bill to amend 1951 PA 51, entitled “An act to provide for the classification of all public roads, streets, and highways in this state, and for the revision of that classification and for additions to and deletions from each classification; to set up and establish the Michigan transportation fund; to provide for the deposits in the Michigan transportation fund of specific taxes on motor vehicles and motor vehicle fuels; to provide for the allocation of funds from the Michigan transportation fund and the use and administration of the fund for transportation purposes; to promote safe and efficient travel for motor vehicle drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians, and other legal users of roads, streets, and highways; to set up and establish the truck safety fund; to provide for the allocation of funds from the truck safety fund and administration of the fund for truck safety purposes; to set up and establish the Michigan truck safety commission; to establish certain standards for road contracts No. 24] [March 4, 2020] JOURNAL OF THE SENATE 311

The Senate agreed to the title of the bill.

Protests

Senators Hertel, Alexander, Bullock, Moss, Wojno, McMorrow, Polehanki, Bayer, Geiss, Ananich, McCann, Chang, Brinks and Santana, under their constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against the passage of Senate Bill No. 716. 312 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE [March 4, 2020] [No. 24

Senator Hertel moved that the statement he made during the discussion of the bill be printed as his reasons for voting “no.” The motion prevailed. Senator Hertel’s statement, in which Senators Alexander, Bullock, Moss, Wojno, McMorrow, Polehanki, Bayer, Geiss, Ananich, McCann, Chang, Brinks and Santana concurred, is as follows: I’m not going to delve heavily into the policy here. I think we all know that this legislation is doomed for failure at the end and is more about politics than anything else. While I would like to advise you that not fixing the roads is not a real policy option or really a good political one, you make your own decisions there. I will stand to put some things on the record though. Senate Bill No. 716 contains an unconstitutional legislative veto that has been clearly defined as unconstitutional under Michigan law. I really hoped that during the 2018 lame-duck session, we had seen the last of these bills that seek to attempt to strip power from those whose offices you used to hold but you don’t anymore. And yet, here we are today. If enacted into law, this bill would set a dangerous precedent that the Legislature could overturn an act of the State Transportation Commission by a concurrent resolution. That is clearly unconstitutional and you don’t have to take my word for it. In fact, the Michigan Supreme Court and several attorneys general, republican and democrat, have noted that in Michigan, the Legislature must only act by presenting bills to the Governor for her signature. So, while this bill itself may be presented to the Governor, its plain language provides that the Legislature can—in the future, and without consulting the Governor—overturn an action of the commission via concurrent resolution, without any bill required. Senate Bill No. 716 is an attempt to circumvent the Constitution and give the Legislature an unrestrained ability to take legislative action using something other than a bill presented to the Governor. Normally, I am highly protective of legislative authority—my family has had over 100 years of service to this building—but with this unchecked discretion to undo the proper exercise of this agency’s authority without submitting a bill to the Governor, it is clearly unconstitutional. This is not about trying to get something done. This is not about doing anything, other than trying to make a political statement. I think it’s a mistake. So, I encourage you—you all swore an oath when you took this body, putting your hand on to protect the United States Constitution and the Michigan Constitution. If you’ve read the Michigan Constitution, this bill makes absolutely no sense and I encourage you to vote “no.”

By unanimous consent the Senate proceeded to the order of General Orders

Senator MacGregor moved that the Senate resolve itself into the Committee of the Whole for consideration of the General Orders calendar. The motion prevailed, and the President, Lieutenant Governor Gilchrist, designated Senator Zorn as Chairperson. After some time spent therein, the Committee arose; and the President, Lieutenant Governor Gilchrist, having resumed the Chair, the Committee reported back to the Senate, favorably and without amendment, the following bill: House Bill No. 5174, entitled A bill to amend 1956 PA 218, entitled “The insurance code of 1956,” by amending section 1915 (MCL 500.1915), as amended by 2006 PA 644. The bill was placed on the order of Third Reading of Bills.

By unanimous consent the Senate proceeded to the order of Resolutions

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 22. A concurrent resolution calling for the responsible use of the state’s transportation bonding authority and to state the Legislature’s intent regarding future debt service payments. (This resolution was reported by the Committee on Appropriations on Wednesday, February 26. See Senate Journal No. 22, p. 292.) The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution, The concurrent resolution was adopted.

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. No. 24] [March 4, 2020] JOURNAL OF THE SENATE 313

Senator Stamas’ statement is as follows: Before you today is a resolution to re-establish checks and balances regarding how our state prioritizes taxpayer dollars when it comes to transportation funding. As you know, the Governor last year proposed a massive $2.5 billion tax increase that would have made Michigan’s gas tax the highest in the nation. It was overwhelmingly opposed by the Michigan people, and even the leaders within her own party called it “extreme.” Earlier this year, just four months after she vetoed a $400 million increase to fix local roads, the Governor took unilateral action to pay for some highway repairs by proposing to bond for $3.5 billion, which will cost over $5 billion to pay off. The Michigan Constitution clearly intended that the Legislature be involved in transportation bonding decisions. Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 22 would clearly define the Legislature’s intent for road bonding and outline how much we’re willing to spend on debt payment. We should not exceed the current levels of spending on our state debt and no transportation bonds should exceed the expected life of the road. So, this resolution states that the Legislature’s intent is not to increase future debt service spending beyond fiscal year 2020 levels and not to authorize debt service spending on bonds longer than ten years. The Michigan people need an affordable solution that fixes the roads and doesn’t saddle them down with decades of debt. Instead of adding billions of dollars in state debt, the Governor should come to the table and work with the Legislature on a reasonable, long-term plan to continue the 2015 proposal that has been now implemented and improve the roads for our state. I ask for your support.
