Smarter on Crime, Better for Communities
SMARTER on crime BETTER for communities Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey and Speaker Lee Chatfield are joined today by a bipartisan group of seventeen Michigan Senators and Representatives sponsoring bills based on recommendations from the Michigan Joint Task Force on Jail and Pretrial Incarceration. The package aims to focus jail use and related taxpayer costs and collateral consequences on cases that involve a danger to the public. The bills address decision points throughout the justice system that contribute to Michigan’s county jail populations, balancing the goals of protecting the public and safeguarding the rights of all people. The Task Force found that Michigan’s jail population had tripled in just 35 years, that most admissions were for misdemeanors and low-level offenses, and that changes to state law could safely reduce jail populations, protect and support crime victims, and prioritize law enforcement and judicial resources for immediate threats to public safety. The bills in this package: ▶▶Eliminate driver’s license suspension ▶▶Prioritize alternatives to jail when as a penalty for offenses unrelated sentencing people for low-level to dangerous driving. offenses. Driving with a suspended license was the While most people pass through jail quickly, third most common reason for jail admission those who stay longer than a month take in Michigan. Driver’s licenses can be up the majority of jail bed space and are suspended for a wide variety of offenses, often serving a criminal sentence. Unless even violations unrelated to driving. In 2018, necessary, low-level offenses should be nearly 358,000 licenses were suspended for sentenced to jail alternatives, and many failure to appear in court or failure to pay mandatory minimum jail sentences should court fines and fees.

October 12Th, 2020 Dear Michigan Senators, We Urge You to Take Up
October 12th, 2020 Dear Michigan Senators, We urge you to take up and support the substitute version of Senate Bill 241 sponsored by Sen. Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit). The bill places a statewide moratorium on water shut offs through the end of the year and ensures water service is restored to any Michigander currently shut off. Access to water is essential to human life at any time, but even more so during a public health pandemic when hand washing and bathing is critical to limiting spread and exposure to COVID-19. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Executive Order 2020-144 required public water supplies to restore water service to Michiganders across the state during the state of emergency. The EO allowed low-income households – many of whom are fixed income, unemployed, underemployed and/or essential workers – to have essential water service. The recent Michigan Supreme Court decision invalidated the EO, leaving behind an inadequate patchwork of local policies for water access for our most vulnerable Michigan households, including the elderly, children, people with disabilities, and pregnant women. Michiganders across the state are experiencing financial hardship that has put their access to basic utility services at risk. This is a statewide problem that needs a statewide solution. Unfortunately, Michigan has no comprehensive water service reporting requirements so access to data on water shut offs is limited. In Detroit – the most glaring example of water unaffordability and shut offs – a Freedom of Information Act request by Joel Kurth from Bridge Magazine found that 9,500 occupied homes that were disconnected for non-payment in 2019 were still without service in mid-January 2020.1 Further, a national survey found that the average water utility disconnected five percent of households for nonpayment in 2016, affecting an estimated 15 million Americans.2 EO 2020-144 did include a one-time reporting requirement, but the reporting from public water supplies under the EO was flawed and filled with gaps and missing data points.

Microsoft Outlook
Updates from the Capitol November 30 - December 11 State Leaders Ready a COVID Relief Package As we move closer to adjournment of the 100th Legislature, Governor Gretchen Whitmer and State Budget Office Director Chris Kolb have issued a supplemental request to both the Michigan Senate and House of Representatives Appropriations Committees primarily to support the state’s 1 ongoing pandemic response efforts. Supplemental Request 2021-2 recommends additional funding for the current fiscal year to the departments of Agriculture and Rural Development; Corrections; Education; Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; Health and Human Services; Military and Veterans Affairs; and Technology, Management, and Budget. These adjustments are to be used to provide for coronavirus response activities that will no longer be funded with federal Coronavirus Relief Funds after December 30 due to federal law. The request included an approximately $617.3 million appropriation ($192.4 million General Fund) for Health and Human Services. This funding would go to support the following: • $419 million for pandemic food assistance benefits, specifically for children who, instead of receiving free or reduced-price meals at school, will be provided these meals throughout the pandemic • Approximately $5.9 million for immunization programs through local public health departments • Approximately $192 million for DHHS to continue its coronavirus response efforts, including testing and contact tracing of vulnerable populations, purchasing of supplies and equipment, supporting the expansion of health system capacity for distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, as well as wage and other supports for health care providers, among other things. To offset the spending request, the Director discussed this week the use of lapsed funding, savings from a lower-than-projected Medicaid caseload and higher-than-anticipated revenues, as well as future federal stimulus.
