June 13, 2019 (updated May 2020) Governor Gretchen Whitmer Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II PO Box 30013 Lansing, MI 48909 Senator Peter MacGregor cc: Senator Jim Stamas, Senator Curtis Hertel Michigan Senate PO Box 30036 Lansing, MI 48909 Representative Mary Whiteford cc: Representative Shane Hernandez, Representative Abdullah Hammoud Michigan House of Representatives PO Box 30014 Lansing, MI 4890 Dear Governor Whitmer, Lt. Governor Gilchrist, Senator MacGregor and Representative Whiteford, The COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced the importance of providing critical benefits to the most vulnerable Michiganders. Food security is one of the most crucial resources at this time, but so is the Employment & Training program component of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), as many individuals have lost - and will lose - their jobs due to COVID-19. Despite the importance of this program, the administration of the SNAP E&T program has made it difficult for individuals and families to access this resource, and for service providers to fully leverage this funding effectively in order to continually serve people during this crisis. To strengthen the state’s workforce, we urge you to lift state’s eligibility restrictions for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (“SNAP”) currently applied to Michiganders with criminal convictions. This policy is noted in Department of Health and Human Services (“DHHS”) BEM 203, Criminal Justice Disqualifications, and its statutory basis is reauthorized each year in the budget. This policy prevents individuals with criminal convictions from accessing necessary food assistance and federal SNAP Employment and Training (“E&T”) funding - workforce funds which help transition those citizens to stable, working members of the community.

Issue No. 13 – 2020 (Published August 1, 2020)
Michigan Register Issue No. 13 – 2020 (Published August 1, 2020) GRAPHIC IMAGES IN THE MICHIGAN REGISTER COVER DRAWING Michigan State Capitol: This image, with flags flying to indicate that both chambers of the legislature are in session, may have originated as an etching based on a drawing or a photograph. The artist is unknown. The drawing predates the placement of the statue of Austin T. Blair on the capitol grounds in 1898. (Michigan State Archives) PAGE GRAPHICS Capitol Dome: The architectural rendering of the Michigan State Capitol’s dome is the work of Elijah E. Myers, the building’s renowned architect. Myers inked the rendering on linen in late 1871 or early 1872. Myers’ fine draftsmanship, the hallmark of his work, is clearly evident. Because of their size, few architectural renderings of the 19th century have survived. Michigan is fortunate that many of Myers’ designs for the Capitol were found in the building’s attic in the 1950’s. As part of the state’s 1987 sesquicentennial celebration, they were conserved and deposited in the Michigan State Archives. (Michigan State Archives) East Elevation of the Michigan State Capitol: When Myers’ drawings were discovered in the 1950’s, this view of the Capitol – the one most familiar to Michigan citizens – was missing. During the building’s recent restoration (1989-1992), this drawing was commissioned to recreate the architect’s original rendering of the east (front) elevation. (Michigan Capitol Committee) Michigan Register Published pursuant to § 24.208 of The Michigan Compiled Laws Issue No. 13— 2020 (This issue, published August 1, 2020, contains documents filed from July 1, 2020 to July 15, 2020) Compiled and Published by the Michigan Office of Administrative Hearings and Rules © 2020 by Michigan Office of Administrative Hearings and Rules, State of Michigan All rights reserved.

Mi Gop Voter Suppression Bills the Bills
MI GOP VOTER SUPPRESSION BILLS Republicans who peddled the “Big Lie” disputing the 2020 election results are now taking their desperate effort to the next level: pushing voter suppression legislation in battleground states. THE BILLS - STRICT PHOTO ID SB 285 - Lana Theis, R-Brighton | SB 303 - Tom Barrett, R-Charlotte | SB 304 - Curt VanderWall R-Ludington Eliminates the option to sign an affidavit in place of photo ID when voting in person, requires absentee voters to include a copy of their photo ID when mailing in their absentee ballot application, and prevents ballots cast by voters who don’t show photo ID from being counted on Election Day. Voters attempting to “cure” their ballots and get them counted must present proof of residency in addition to photo ID even if they are in the poll book. THE PROBLEM Most people do not have easy access to a copier, and requiring a copy of ID is an undue and unnecessary burden on voters exercising their constitutional right to vote by mail. The affidavit is an important option for those who choose to vote in person and do not have photo ID. Our current system works just fine, and the burdens of these new rules would fall disproportionately on elderly, poor, and minority voters. THE BILLS - BARRIERS TO ABSENTEE VOTING SB 286 - Ed McBroom, R-Vulcan | SB 287 - Jim Stamas, R-Midland | SB 310 - Ruth Johnson, R-Holly Limits voters’ use of drop boxes, prohibits pre-paid postage on absentee ballot return envelopes, and bars the Secretary of State from sending absentee ballot applications to voters -- or making the application available on the SOS website.
