Whereas, COVID-19 has ravaged Michigan nursing homes with more than 1,200 deaths occurring in these settings, which makes up about 23 percent of all Michigan deaths from COVID-19. The Whitmer administration has been slow to release nursing home data, and the available data continues to be woefully inadequate, making it difficult to see the full impact of these detrimental policies; and
Whereas, Despite evidence of the significant flaws in the initial nursing home policies, Executive Order 2020-95, issued May 20, 2020, continues to put nursing home residents in harm’s way by placing COVID-19-affected residents in the same facilities as other residents; and
Whereas, Ensuring the health and well-being of the state’s most vulnerable residents during the COVID‑19 Pandemic is of the upmost importance. The Whitmer administration must be held accountable for these decisions. It is imperative that Michigan’s flawed nursing home policies are replaced by policies that will protect nursing home residents today and in the future; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we denounce the Governor’s policy placing COVID-19 positive residents with uninfected residents in nursing homes; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor.

Senator Daley’s statement is as follows:
In May, Michigan’s Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson announced that she would mail absentee ballot applications to each of Michigan’s 7.7 million registered voters. This has created a lot of concern about how this could cause an increase in voter fraud. Last week a constituent of mine told me that he was mailed an absentee ballot application to his home that was addressed to someone who hasn’t lived there in over 20 years. This person has lived and has been registered to vote in Grand Ledge for those 20 years. That’s why I introduced Senate Bill Nos. 977 and 978. They would make it a felony for someone to knowingly submit another person’s name or personal identity information on a ballot application or attempt to obtain multiple ballots. Making voter fraud a felony will help discourage those who wish to tamper with our elections in the first place.
The people of Michigan need to have the confidence that their elections are being conducted honestly and that they can trust the results, win or lose. There is a lot of concern about election integrity within our system right now. These bills will help discourage voter fraud, improve trust in our elections, and protect our fundamental right to vote. I encourage my colleagues to support these bills.
Senator Irwin’s statement is as follows:
I just want to point out just for the record and for the Journal that voter fraud is already illegal, forgery is already illegal, and with the passage of this bill and its signing, it will be double-secret illegal.
The President, Lieutenant Governor Gilchrist, assumed the Chair.

The question being on concurring in the substitute made to the bill by the House,
The substitute was concurred in, a majority of the members serving voting therefor, as follows:


context_text:
Whereas, The UIA has mismanaged potential fraud within the system, suspending benefits to deserving residents without forewarning or any regard for the impact on their lives. The UIA halted payments to 540,000 unemployment benefit accounts, without proper investigation, due to suspected fraud. More than half of these accounts have been cleared, an astounding error rate in identifying fraudulent activity. About 240,000 potentially innocent people are still waiting to see if their benefits will be approved or reinstated; and
Whereas, Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the UIA have failed to implement any meaningful changes to improve the situation. In any properly managed organization, a failure of this magnitude would have led to significant and timely changes in process, personnel, or both. Yet, the Governor has ignored legislators’ calls for leadership changes at UIA, and her efforts to address the situation have been wholly inadequate; and
Whereas, Governor Whitmer failed to address known issues at the UIA when she had the opportunity. Even before the coronavirus pandemic and the surge in claims, there was abundant evidence of problems at UIA. The Auditor General found that, across 2018 and 2019, about 28 percent of callers hung up before they were able to speak with UIA staff. While action was taken to address this problem, it is clear that issues persist; and
Whereas, Governor Whitmer has demonstrated a lack of preparedness, a lack of responsiveness, and ultimately, a lack of leadership in addressing issues at the UIA. While quick to unilaterally declare and extend orders that have impacted the lives of every Michigander and their ability to earn a living, she has been unacceptably slow in ensuring the proper systems were in place to mitigate the adverse impacts of her actions. Governor Whitmer’s ineffective leadership and poor decision-making have exacerbated the issues Michigan residents are facing during this deeply uncertain and difficult period. She has failed to meet the trust placed in her by the people of Michigan; and
Whereas, Promptly signing Enrolled Senate Bill No. 690 of 2020 will be a critical step in addressing the issues Governor Whitmer has allowed to fester at the UIA. The bill provides funding for an additional 500 temporary employees at the agency. This supplemental workforce would greatly enhance the agency’s ability to efficiently process claims; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we condemn Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s inaction in addressing issues at the Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) with residents filing for and receiving unemployment benefits; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge Governor Whitmer to promptly sign Enrolled Senate Bill No. 690 of 2020 and provide critical resources to address the backlog at the UIA; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor, the Director of the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, and the Director of the Unemployment Insurance Agency.
The question being on the adoption of the substitute,
Senator MacGregor requested the yeas and nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered, 1/5 of the members present voting therefor.
The substitute (S-1) was adopted, a majority of the members serving voting therefor, as follows:


context_text:
Whereas, On June 20, 2020, during his campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, President Donald Trump told his supporters that he had directed his people to “slow the [COVID-19] testing down, please.” He described testing as a “double-edged sword,” and said, “When you do testing to that extent, you’re going to find more people, you’re going to find more cases.”; and
Whereas, COVID-19 continues to be a substantial threat to public health in Michigan and across the nation. Testing reveals that new cases have been increasing in nearly half of states throughout the month of June. On June 20, 2020, eight states reported their highest ever numbers of new COVID-19 case counts; and
Whereas, Slowing down the rate of testing would leave public health officials in the dark about what steps need to be taken to protect residents. The state of Michigan, like most other states, considers the numbers and trends of new cases and the percent of positive tests as key indicators of how well the state is tracking and containing the spread of COVID-19; and
Whereas, Slowing down the rate of testing would also leave the American public in the dark about the level of risk from COVID-19. Testing provides vital information about the prevalence of COVID-19 in a community, allowing individuals to make informed personal decisions to protect themselves. It increases compliance with voluntary and mandatory measures to slow the spread of COVID-19 that benefit everyone; and
Whereas, Decreasing access to COVID-19 testing puts Americans at risk and could create shortages of testing supplies for states. Testing allows states to direct resources to areas that need them most to contain COVID-19 cases before the rate of disease spread becomes unmanageable. It is a critical tool that saves lives and helps protect all citizens but particularly our most vulnerable citizens living in nursing homes and other high-risk environments who have limited freedom to protect themselves; and
Whereas, President Trump’s statements and actions are reckless and dangerous. COVID-19 remains a substantial threat to the health of the American public with tens of thousands of new cases still being reported in the U.S. each day. COVID-19 will not go away simply because we choose to look the other way or actively attempt, like some other countries, to prevent our citizens from knowing the truth about the extent of its impact; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we denounce the decision of the President of the United States to slow COVID-19 testing; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States.

Senator Hertel offered the following substitute (S-3):
A resolution to memorialize the President and Congress of the United States to enact legislation extending the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) program.
Whereas, The COVID-19 Pandemic has disrupted life for all Michigan residents. In Michigan alone, tens of thousands of Michigan residents have been infected, and nearly 6,000 have lost their lives. Recent trends indicate that the Pandemic will not subside in the near future, as more than 20 states are seeing an increase in daily new cases; and
Whereas, In order to supplement state unemployment benefits, Congress created the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) program. The FPUC program was created as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and provides an additional $600 per week to those receiving unemployment benefits; and
Whereas, Letting the FPUC program expire would be devastating for Americans who are already suffering. Under the CARES Act, the FPUC program is set to expire at the end of July. Taking these critical resources from families and individuals will force them to make difficult decisions about which expenses to pay and which essentials they will have to live without; and
Whereas, Allowing FPUC to expire will hurt the economy’s recovery. Limiting the money that Americans have during this economic crisis will drastically reduce spending, hurting businesses and the entire economy; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we memorialize the President and Congress of the United States to enact legislation extending the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) program; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
