We aggressively tackle homelessness and pilot projects and address chronic homelessness and provide stable housing in the community. We invest in the DHHS frontline workers by establishing a hybrid pension that will go a long way in recruiting and retaining workers that every day impact the lives of our constituents. We want our state employees to feel valued and respected for the most difficult and sensitive work that they do day in and day out. To curb gun violence and death and gun deaths across the state, we continue the community violence intervention grants but target grassroots groups that have been performing this work for years and create an office of suicide prevention to work to prevent further loss of life. We know that there is a shortage of juvenile beds and establish a fund to assist in bringing more beds online and allow for upgrades to ensure that we are treating our juvenile offenders and not locking them up and throwing away the key.

This is a very simple but important amendment and I ask for your support. My amendment would simply require that no health care services or treatment provided to a minor be covered by taxpayer-funded insurance without parental or guardian consent, particularly in settings where parents and guardians aren’t ordinarily with their children, such as schools. Whether a minor is receiving health care services or treatment in an office remotely via telehealth, the provider must have parental consent.
That is what my amendment does and I urge your “yes” vote.

Senator Klinefelt asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Klinefelt’s statement is as follows:
Today I have a package of bills called Melody’s Law up for consideration. These bills would amend the Michigan Penal Code to make necrophilia a criminal offense in Michigan, set sentencing guidelines, and amend the Sex Offenders Registration Act to include this offense.
Melody Rohrer’s murder and subsequent assault on her body was the catalyst for this package. Her husband Rick Rohrer and the family worked tirelessly to get these bills passed into law. Melody was his soulmate and the light of his life. For Melody’s family, let’s ensure that this despicable act is reflected in the offender’s criminal record in the future. I ask that all my colleagues support this package.

The bill was passed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor, as follows:


context_text:
Similar in tone to her amendment, my amendment will strike this verbiage and then add two important provisions. First, it will add language that allows those who receive a hospice recommendation a clear path to medically frail parole. In my experience, people who have been moved to hospice never have long to live, so it makes a lot of sense for the state to release them for their final months. Secondly, my amendment will add language that was stricken in this bill that will ensure someone who has been given 18 months to live but has not received a hospice recommendation will have to score low on a risk assessment. This is extremely important to ensure that particularly evil prisoners who still pose a threat to society are not released. Third, my amendment includes another provision which will ensure that a person who is paroled because of their terminal condition must report to their county prosecutor if they recover inside of that 18-month timeline—yes, this happens. If a parolee beats whatever illness gave them the diagnosis, then at that point they should not be allowed to remain on the streets and the prosecutor would be able to reinstate their original penalty.
I think these changes will ensure that the intent of the bill remains while also ensuring there are no unintended consequences which will allow those not deserving of release the ability to get out of prison early. This is such a simple thing to protect the American citizens. I realize that the majority will vote it down, but I would appreciate your support on my amendment.
Senator Geiss’ statement is as follows:
I want to thank all the partners who worked on this medically frail parole bill. Many of you who were here in previous sessions might recall that we did do a medically frail parole bill; however, in the time that it was introduced, passed, and signed into law, only one person has been able to be released on medically frail parole. This has been something that the families of loved ones who are incarcerated and medically frail or terminally ill have sought. Many advocacy groups have sought this. I will say it was actually a delight to work with the Department of Corrections on this bill to make it so some of our most vulnerable incarcerated people are able to not just be sent to a facility for their parole but also to be surrounded by their loved ones and so end their remaining days with dignity. I want to thank everyone on the committee who supported it and all the partners who worked on this. I urge a “yes” vote.
