Senator Cherry asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Cherry’s statement is as follows:
The legislation before us empowers thousands of Michigan workers with a simple new tool to help secure their retirement: the establishment of the Michigan secure retirement savings program. As many of us know, failing to properly save for retirement increases the risk that seniors will live in poverty and places a greater burden on social services. By offering simple, accessible saving options for Michigan workers, we are helping a new generation of seniors and retirees live more comfortably and with dignity while easing reliance on tax-funded services and saving taxpayers money.
The program also provides small and micro businesses with a new tool to compete in employee recruitment and retention. Often unable to match the benefit packages of larger companies, small employers gain peace of mind knowing that their employees have access to an automatic savings program helping to level the playing field. I’m proud of the work we’re doing here today, providing hardworking Michiganders with the ability to retire with peace of mind and ensuring that workers can save with ease.
As to whether the programs are effective, other states have done it and what they have found is hundreds of millions of dollars of new savings for their workers. Workers and businesses in states that have done this appreciate it and it makes it simply easier for people to save for their retirement. This is a program that is voluntary. You can opt out of it if you do not wish to save for your retirement, but what have we seen with retirement programs offered with employers? If your 401(k) is an opt-out as opposed to an opt-in, you have more employees participating and saving for their retirement. Quite frankly, if you’re not familiar with investing or are financially savvy, it can be a big barrier to go into a brokerage firm and open up an investment account and know how to handle that situation, whereas with this program, what we found in other states is that it reduces the barrier and the intimidation that workers face in trying to find a way to save for their retirement.
Madam President, these bills before us will help workers save, they will lead to more secure seniors over time, and I appreciate my colleagues’ support in passing this legislation.

context_text:
Simply creating a new state bureaucracy will not make health care more affordable. What it will do is increase government spending—estimates predict implementation costs ranging from $71 million to more than $232 million. At the same time, these bills provide no guarantee that a state-run exchange will lower costs for consumers compared to the federal exchange. We need to make sure that Michigan families are the sole beneficiaries of any potential savings. As currently written, there’s no guarantee in this bill to ensure that happens.
My amendment would change that by requiring Michigan’s state-based exchange to match the federal exchange user fee rate so any savings are reflected in lower costs for consumers. We should support policies that actually lower costs and improve access to affordable care for Michigan families. I ask for your support of my amendment.
Senator Hertel’s statement is as follows:
While I appreciate the amendment my colleague from the 9th District is offering today, I think it’s important to note that the whole purpose of this package is to remove ourselves from the federal government’s decision-making over health care decisions in the individual market today that we are seeing is negatively impacting residents all across this state, to the point where they aren’t able to afford their health insurance anymore. While it’s easy to look at a financial assessment and look at a paper that somebody in a back room decided what the financial impact might be, we have the benefit here in Michigan to look at multiple other states that have already done this—Republican states and Democratic states—that have been able to lower premiums for their residents and find savings.
Directly to the amendment offered, we already in this legislation have a requirement that the fee charged on the exchange can’t be any higher or lower than one percent of the federal fee. The federal fee over the last five or six years has been as high as 3.5 percent; it has been as low as 1.5 percent; in 2027, it’ll be 1.9 percent. We give the authority for that fee to be set by the board. Any increase in the fee requires a three-fourths vote by that board. What we’re trying to do here is create flexibility in the state of Michigan to make our own decisions about how people can access affordable health care, because the federal government in recent history has proven that they don’t care about providing affordable health insurance to residents across our state. We want to make sure we have the ability to do it here in the state of Michigan.
Senator Webber’s second statement is as follows:
When the state debates additional health care mandates beyond the federal scope, we have a duty to balance those discussions with overall cost so those who need care can afford it. My amendment would establish a task force to ensure health care is affordable in Michigan. By studying the impact of proposed state health insurance mandates that exceed the essential health benefits required under the Affordable Care Act, the task force would examine the social and financial impacts of proposed mandated health benefits. It would also evaluate the medical efficacy of the proposed mandates. We must ensure that those who need care can afford it by understanding the costs and consequences of new mandates before they’re passed on to Michiganders. I ask for support of my amendment.

Whereas, The Trump Administration and USDA committed this funding to Michigan’s farmers for such energy projects, and Michigan’s farmers relied on this commitment, spending their own money and taking out loans for the project costs with the understanding that they would be reimbursed; and
Whereas, The businesses impacted by the Trump Administration’s actions include Michigan’s oldest farm, Westcroft Gardens and Farm, which has been owned and operated by the same family since 1776. In 2024, USDA approved a REAP grant for a Westcroft project that would have reduced the farm’s energy costs, strengthened its financial future, and supported Michigan’s agricultural economy. In April 2026, USDA cancelled the grant, forcing the farm to absorb its investment costs and time for a project that it could no longer afford; and
Whereas, The Trump Administration’s failure to honor its promises has turned a program designed to help farmers save on energy costs and grow their business into something that could financially ruin them; and
Whereas, The clean energy projects under REAP which have been ripped away by the Trump Administration would provide real financial relief to Michigan farmers, who are now paying the price of skyrocketing monthly energy bills, high fuel and fertilizer costs from the Iran War, and tariffs that diminish their profit on the crops they export; and
Whereas, Michigan’s farmers are essential to our economy yet are amongst those hit the hardest by the Trump Administration’s reckless policies, through both energy efficiency costs rollbacks and tariffs. Farmers create Michigan’s second-most profitable industry, contributing approximately 126 billion dollars annually, feeding millions globally, and supporting more than 800,000 jobs statewide; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body call on the Trump Administration and USDA to reverse irresponsible energy decisions that are costing Michigan’s farmers millions of dollars and urge them to swiftly restore funding to farmers paying for projects they began in good faith after promises of USDA assistance; and be it further
Resolved, That we call upon Michigan’s congressional delegation to press the USDA to provide the legal basis for refusing to execute Financial Assistance Agreements, to reimburse projects that are started or completed under established program timelines and examine whether withholding these obligated funds is consistent with the Impoundment Control Act of 1974; and be it further

This proposed legislation would align Michigan with federal standards in some areas but not in others. This amendment would conform with federal standards by requiring that a citation must be issued within six months of a violation. This would provide consistency and help ensure investigations into potential violations are concluded in a timely manner. This bill, as proposed, leaves the timeframe open-ended at MIOSHA’s discretion and leaves employers and workers with no real idea when the case might be settled. The least we can do is clarify the timeframe so everybody knows when to expect a resolution.

Whereas, The federal waiver took effect on May 1, 2026, and may be extended based on continued fuel supply constraints; and
Whereas, On April 2, 2026, Governor Whitmer declared a state of energy emergency across the state of Michigan in executive Order 2026-4, temporarily suspending MCL 290.650d and Regulation No. 561 to relax Michigan’s fuel requirements to the extent allowed by the federal waiver issued by the EPA; and
Whereas, Executive Order 2026-4 expires on July 1, 2026, and under current global conditions, resumed enforcement may constrain fuel supply and contribute to higher prices and reduced availability; and
Whereas, Pursuant to section 3 of the Declaration of State of Energy Emergency Act, 1982 PA 191, MCL 10.83, the legislature may approve an extension of a state of energy emergency for a specific number of days; and
Whereas, A 77-day extension of the state of energy emergency coincides with the potential for an extended federal waiver of federal RVP requirements based on continued fuel supply constraints; and
Whereas, If the legislature does not act to extend the state of energy emergency pursuant to MCL 10.83, the state of energy emergency will be terminated on July 1, 2026, risking fuel shortages and increased gas prices for consumers and businesses; and
Whereas, It is in the best interests of the state of Michigan to extend the duration of this state of energy emergency as a temporary and targeted step to help alleviate upward pressure on fuel prices; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we approve the extension of the state of energy emergency declared on April 2, 2026 until September 16, 2026; and be it further
Resolved, That this resolution does not take effect until July 1, 2026; and be it further

Senator Hertel asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Hertel’s statement is as follows:
Madam President, just this morning we saw a report come out that shows inflation is rising at its fastest pace in over three years. Higher costs are crushing families across our communities, but they are also crushing small businesses that employ people all across our state. And so, we need to take action to make sure we’re doing everything we can to reduce costs for individuals, but also these small businesses.
Right now, because of those higher costs and higher premiums on health insurance, small businesses are making very difficult choices to be able to still provide coverage for their employees, some having to decide to take that coverage away altogether. With Senate Bill No. 1011 today, we can take action to reduce premiums for small business owners all across our state as they provide insurance to their employees. What this does is allow them to pool their employees together across multiple different industries, creating larger pools with more individuals to insure to then spread that risk and drive down the premiums. It is a proven way to reduce costs, and it’s something simple we can take action on today that will have meaningful impacts, not only for the small businesses, but for their employees as they will be able to continue to provide this critical health insurance for them.
I ask for my colleagues’ support.

Senator Moss’ statement is as follows:
It was back in March of 2017 that a windstorm in Michigan knocked nearly a million people out of power in our state in what was described as the largest weather event our utilities had experienced up until that point. As people all throughout our state were displaced and seeking temporary lodging, I got a call to my State Representative office about a motel in my district that just simply turned off its neon sign that advertised its $59-a-night rooms and instead started charging people up to $400. This was a shameful exploitation of desperate people in need. So, I reached out to the former Attorney General’s office at the time to go after this shady motel operator, but shockingly, I was told there wasn’t much he was able to do. Michigan’s price gouging law was too ineffective to go after bad actors during an emergency, and this event sparked my years-long effort to strengthen this law.
Michiganders shouldn’t be left behind when an emergency strikes. More than 30 other states have clear and precise restrictions on price increases of essential supplies that trigger once an emergency is declared. Attorneys general in states along the Gulf Coast and the Atlantic Coast proudly advertise their price gouging tipline when a hurricane approaches so people can report when unscrupulous businesses unlawfully jack up costs. While Michigan doesn’t experience hurricanes, we have our fair share of extreme weather emergencies, from winter storms to summer flooding to that historic windstorm years ago.
Sadly, we also have people looking to make a quick buck off the hardships of others, but we don’t have those same consumer protections as states around the country. Our language for this bill is specifically modeled after California, Arkansas, New Jersey, D.C., Rhode Island, West Virginia, Alabama, and Florida—a wide range of states all throughout the country with different sets of politics but with the same common goal of protecting their constituents during an emergency.
When inclement weather happens—it’s becoming more and more frequent—and we know people are suffering through this record-high cost-of-living crisis that’s stretching budgets razor thin, we must step up and protect Michigan families. That’s why we are working with partners like our state Attorney General’s office and the Michigan Restaurant and Lodging Association, who doesn’t want bad actors in their industry either, to go after the price gouging of emergency supplies, food, lodging, energy products, and others during a declared emergency. This would empower our Attorney General to hold violators legally accountable for trying to profit from vulnerable Michiganders in their time of most need.
Our efforts actually provided a critical framework during the COVID-19 pandemic to Governor Whitmer when she used the language of our bills in 2020 to write a temporary executive order that went after unjustified increases of masks, toilet paper, and other goods in that time we all remember way too well. Michiganders still need these protections today, even recently as emergencies have been declared here in just the last few months surrounding tornadoes, gas prices, and a water main break in my district in Auburn Hills that left parts of my district without water in May.
Navigating through emergencies is already stressful enough without greedy corporate actors taking advantage of our misery. We must put these safeguards into law and join most of the other states around the country that protect their residents from bad actors so that everyone can weather these storms ahead. I urge a “yes” vote on this package.

Our high auto insurance rates are something that we’ve discussed and tried to figure out many times how to lower here from the Senate floor. This particular piece of legislation is something that I’ve worked on term after term after term, to ban insurance companies from using a billing scam known as price optimization.
Did you know that your rates and the rates of everybody in Michigan might be even higher just because you’re a loyal customer of your insurance company? Price optimization is a shady practice that companies use to determine the highest price you can sustain. The highest price you’re willing to pay for insurance using non-risk factors like your shopping habits, your online activity, your demographic data, or other personal information. So, if you are a loyal customer, they may jack up your rate because they know you’re just likely to renew your policy, whatever the increased cost may be. If you’re less likely to comparison shop, you’re not going to see the same rewards, discounts, perks, and special offers, as someone else who may shop around, even if you’re in the same risk pool. Insurance rates should be based on risk factors, not whether you’re likely to pay more for insurance or are less likely to shop around for other options.
Maryland was the first state to take action to ban the use of this practice of setting insurance rates in 2014. In 2015, Ohio’s insurance regulators published a bulletin outlawing the same; and I introduced this bill for the first time in 2016. Since then, at least 20 other states have banned price optimization in rate-setting as a premium development tool across the political spectrum—from Indiana and Florida to California and Connecticut. In 2024, our Department of Insurance and Financial Services issued a bulletin adding Michigan to that list. Now that this bulletin is in place, it is time to codify this permanently into law this consumer protection piece so that Michiganders are never subject to these unfair practices.
