    Chapter III THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH Profile of the Michigan Legislature . 125 The Michigan Legislature . 127 The 97th Legislature . 137 Legislative Officers and Agencies . 238 Former Legislatures and Legislative Officers . 249 Sources of Michigan Legislative Information . 264 2013– 2014 PROFILE OF THE MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE The legislative power of the state of Michigan is vested in a bicameral (2-chamber) body comprised of a senate and a house of representatives. The senate consists of 38 members who are elected by the qualified electors of districts that range in size from approximately 248,600 to 274,600 residents (under a redistricting plan enacted in 2001). Senators are elected at the same time as the governor and serve 4-year terms concurrent with the governor’s term of office. The house of representatives consists of 110 members who are elected by the qualified electors of districts that range in size from approximately 77,000 to 91,000 residents (under a redistricting plan enacted in 2011). Representatives are elected in even-numbered years to 2-year terms. Legislative districts are drawn on the basis of popu lation figures obtained through the federal decennial census. Terms for senators and representatives begin on January 1, following the November general election. Effective with terms of office beginning on or after January 1, 1993, state legislators (as well as the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, and attorney general) are subject to term limitations. State senators may not be elected more than 2 times and state representatives may not be elected more than 3 times. (Partial terms that are less than half of a full term are not counted as one of these terms.) The state legislature enacts the laws of Michigan; levies taxes and appropriates funds from money collected for the support of public institutions and the administration of the affairs of state government; proposes amendments to the state constitution, which must be approved by a majority vote of the electors; and considers legislation proposed by initiatory petitions.

During the general election, five republican State House incumbents were defeated by democrats, but ultimately republicans were able to maintain control, winning 64 of 110 seats. Federally, the 2012 election was labeled a victory for democrats who held on to both the White House and control of the U.S. Senate. The Michigan Congressional delegation was slightly shaken due to redistricting and scandal in the 11th district seat. As a result, Republicans walked away with nine of these fourteen seats. As the Michigan legislature began their lame duck session, we were pleased to learn that lawmakers were taking up a plan to modernize Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. This excitement turned to disappointment after the bills passed both chambers, but the Governor exercised his right to veto due to amendatory language that had been added.

  • Intergovernmental Battles Over the Creation of Health Insurance Exchanges
    Implementing Obamacare: Intergovernmental Battles over the Creation of Health Insurance Exchanges by David K. Jones A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Health Services Organization and Policy) in the University of Michigan 2014 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Scott L. Greer, Chair Professor Peter D. Jacobson Research Associate Professor Helen G. Levy Professor Barry G. Rabe © David K. Jones 2014 Dedication For Sarah, Olivia, Anne, and Thomas ii Acknowledgements Thank you to all the people who made my doctoral experience such a pleasure. First, Scott Greer was a wonderful adviser, mentor, and committee chair. He was generous with his time and provided important guidance. I can trace most of my publications thus far to conversations with Scott. The rest of my dissertation committee was equally wonderful. Peter Jacobson was a thorough and trusted sounding board on multiple projects. Helen Levy provided extensive insight on the details of the ACA and how they came to be. Barry Rabe helped navigate the territory between the fields of public health, public policy, and political science. All four members of my committee were also exceptionally kind and supportive. Many other people provided guidance along the way. I particularly enjoyed working as a teaching assistant for Rich Lichtenstein. Daniel Eisenberg and Rich Hirth provided important service as directors of the Health Services, Organization, and Policy (HSOP) doctoral program in the Department of Health Management and Policy. Kyle Grazier and Holly Jarman offered invaluable advice during my job search. I loved working for two years as a research assistant for the Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Scholars.
