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


context_text:
This amendment would restore the money recommended by the Governor for school infrastructure projects. It’s no secret that Michigan has failed to invest in infrastructure at levels of government, and our schools are no different. That’s why I was proud to see the Governor set up a school infrastructure fund with a $1 billion up-front investment with an additional $170 million per year until 2029. This investment will offset a large portion of the infrastructure costs for districts and provide a better learning environment for our students. It’s a brilliant way to ensure there’s money available for these schools to dig into on a rainy day and I urge you to support this amendment.
Senator Bayer’s third statement is as follows:
Thank you for taking up this amendment that has so very much meaning in my district—actually for the state. This amendment would provide funding for Oxford Schools as they go through the recovery from the terrible, terrible tragedy last November. It’s going to help the school system to pay for critical mental health services, helping to pay for repairs in the building, changes that need to happen to really make it possible for those kids to be able to go back and walk through those hallways and go back to school. Simple things too, like a system that would actually make it possible for students and teachers who are hard of hearing to be able to hear the alarms. Very simple safety protocols, new improvements all over the system; just even knowing that there is the support of this institution of the state for the school system, for the families, for the students, it means everything to them and everything to me. Thank you for this moment, and I urge you to vote “yes” on this amendment.
Senator Johnson’s statement is as follows:
I rise in support of this amendment that will provide additional funding to the Oxford School District. I’ve been proud to represent Oakland County for many years and my heart, like all of yours, was broken seeing the impact of the horrific tragedy that took place at Oxford High School. Sadly, a constituent from my district—14-year-old Hana St. Juliana—was among those who lost their lives that day. Mr. President, nothing we can do here can turn back the clock, but we can provide the school and community with the resources they need to support the students, teachers, staff, and families affected by this tragedy. That is what this amendment before us does. I urge a “yes” vote.
Senator Schmidt’s statement is as follows:
I’d like to take a moment to say thank you the Senate Fiscal staff, the staff here on my side, the staff of my friendly colleagues on the other side of the aisle, and my vice chairs in putting together what I think is a very good first start as we’ve seen a number of amendments, a number of other discussions, but a very good start in what is now, again—second year in a row—record funding. Actually, a continuation of record funding for K-12. We see a foundation increase of $450 per student. We’re seeing $500 million to pay off part of bonded indebtedness to help districts consolidate. We see increased funding for school-based health clinics which make a big difference, not only in physical health but in the mental health of our students. We’ve included more money for the student mental health apprenticeship program to make sure not only as we start to look at keeping teachers in retention and recruitment, but also for the mental health and the counseling people. We’ve seen increases in phonics and letters—that program. Overall, again a record-setting budget for K-12 education. And what’s even more encouraging is that we’ll have further discussions between the House, the Senate, and the Governor’s office that will result in more increased spending for Michigan students. So with that, I ask that my colleagues please vote “yes” on this bill.

The motion prevailed.
Senator Johnson’s statement is as follows:
I rise in the support of Senate Bill No. 884. The substitute adopted by the committee prohibits any electronic voting system purchased in Michigan on or after July 1, 2022, from including any foreign parts or equipment identified as a national security risk by the FCC. The Board of State Canvassers would also be prohibited from approving such systems for use. Senate Bill No. 884 would not prohibit the repair, maintenance, or acquisition of parts for the proper operation of existing systems acquired and approved prior to July 1, 2022. In 2019, the Trump administration barred U.S. firms from using the Chinese technology company Huawei or providing technology to the company, deeming it a national risk. In 2021, President Biden signed the Secure Equipment Act requiring the Federal Communications Commission to establish rules stating it would no longer review or approve any authorization application for equipment that is on the list of covered communications equipment or services, meaning the equipment from Huawei, ZTE, and three other Chinese companies can’t be used in U.S. telecom networks. This federal legislation was approved unanimously by the U.S. Senate and by a vote of 420-4 in the U.S. House of Representatives. I urge my colleagues to support this bill.

Senator Irwin asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Irwin’s statement is as follows:
Literacy—reading capably and without difficulty—is essential to success in today’s world, and that’s why reading is one of the most fundamental skills that we seek to teach in our K-12 schools. But if you’re like me, you’ve looked at our literacy scores, you’ve compared them to other states and nations, and you’ve found them lacking and you’ve known that we have work to do. So, today I’m really happy that we’re coming together to do some of that work. For too many of our students, our current approach is lacking and is leaving them behind. That’s because as many as one in five kids in our state experience characteristics of dyslexia. Too many of these kids are falling through the cracks and what the language in these bills will do today to help these students is to bring more phonetic awareness and more decoding skills into the general education classroom. These bills also piggyback on our existing read-by-grade-3 assessments to do a better job of identifying these kids who are struggling with decoding skills and to provide the training necessary—the training and professional development, both in our colleges and at the district level—to our educators to make sure they have the skills to identify and intervene on behalf of these young learners on their path toward literacy .
I ask for your support today in voting for these important bills to improve literacy and to focus on dyslexic students and students who are experiencing characteristics of dyslexia, and I really appreciate the opportunity that has been afforded to bring these bills up today and to work in a bipartisan manner to do something good to promote literacy here in the state of Michigan.

Colleagues, today I urge you to support Senate Resolution No. 139, a resolution which would urge Congress to pass a law helping farmers combat rising fertilizer costs by waiving a tariff on Moroccan phosphate imports. Fertilizer prices have more than doubled since last year due to the many factors including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, high energy costs, a limited supply of materials, strong global demand, and lack of competition in the fertilizer industry. The United States is a major importer of foreign fertilizer and farmers are dependent on foreign supplies. The top producers of major components of fertilizer include China, Russia, Canada, and Morocco; with Belarus also providing a significant share of the potash.
Due to anti-competitive concerns, the ITC instituted a 19 percent tariff on Moroccan phosphate imports. However, this was based on price from 2018 to 2020. Since then the price of potash has tripled, causing the tariff burden to triple as well. Where farmers used to pay $300 per ton, they now are paying over $900. At a time like this, the costs of the rise of American—one thing we can do is help our farmers lower their cost which ultimately lowers the cost for us at the stores and other products as consumers. I urge a swift passage of this resolution and look forward to continuing to work, supporting those who feed us. Thank you very much and I urge your support.

context_text:
Your proposal gives no help for families this year. Our proposal—the Governor’s proposal—does. Under your plan, the average Michigan family making between $75,000 and $100,000 per year would get less than $200 per year in benefit from the income tax cut. A millionaire would get $18,000 per year; a multi-millionaire, $175,000 per year; a billionaire, $3.5 million per year. Under your income tax cut, a billionaire gets a yacht, a millionaire gets a new boat, and a family gets a dinghy. In the middle of a crisis, you’re going to use that as an excuse to give those who are the richest among us the largest part of a tax cut—but not even until next year.
These families can’t wait. It’s time for us to be worried about them. We can no longer subsidize tax cuts for the wealthy. We can no longer give the wealthy cookies and the rest of us crumbs. We can no longer wait until next year after an election after you promised them to do something. This proposal is simple. Let’s give taxpayers their money back right now. Let’s give working families their money back right now. No more politics, no more giveaways to the richest among us. Money for those who are suffering right now. I ask you to vote “yes” on my substitute.
Senator Shirkey’s statement, in which Senators Bumstead, Daley, VanderWall, Victory, LaSata, Runestad, Barrett, Wozniak, MacDonald, Zorn, Theis, Huizenga, Outman and Bizon concurred, is as follows:
As a matter of fact, there is further discussion.
The pandering effort of this Governor to try and cover up for all the pain and suffering she has been complicit with over the last two years, most recently with our President, in creating the inflation that we’re fighting today is amazing. The last-minute effort to try and interrupt an ongoing tax policy that will help families more now than their suggestion is, and it will be ongoing.
Let me tell you and share with you exactly what their proposal would do. It would remove an increase in personal exemption for everybody, ongoing. It would remove an increase in personal exemption and an inflation adjuster for our seniors, ongoing. It would remove the reduction in income tax rate from 4.25 to 4, ongoing. It would remove the increase in the EITC—something that these people who we’re trying to help because of the damage being done by this administration and that in Washington, D.C.—would remove that, ongoing. And it would remove a $500 non-refundable child credit, ongoing.
Let there be no mistake—our plan is sustainable, it’s ongoing. It will result in $1,300 per year for the average family of two kids, ongoing, not just a one-time $500 attempt to pay off. I’m getting sick and tired of this administration not acknowledging their effort and their role in what has been created for the citizens of this state, and quite frankly the rest of the nation. There is no reason why we should be paying $4.69 per gallon for gas, but for the policies of this administration in D.C., complicit with the policies of this administration in Michigan. All I have to do is cite Line 5, and it goes on and on and on. Now, you can play funny games and try to get press releases that you tried to get some money right now. Well, who’s to say we’re done? We are only beginning. But I’m damn proud of what this body is about to pass and we are not done yet.

The motion prevailed.
Senator Johnson’s statement is as follows:
I rise to ask my colleagues to join me in supporting this supplemental. Much of the funding in this bill would be directed to help Oxford Schools, which experienced a horrific act of violence and loss last November. This took four young lives. The youngest victim—14-year-old Hana St. Juliana—was my constituent. No amount of funding will bring back those who were lost, but we must give the school the resources they need to best serve their students, teachers, and staff who were deeply affected by this tragedy.
This bill includes funding to support a school psychologist, family liaison, and a mental health coordinator. It will also help the school to implement additional safety measures. The substitute we approved today also includes grant funding which would be available to any public or private school in our state to conduct professional security assessments to help make improvements that would strengthen the safety in their schools.
As the community in Texas mourns this week—and as the families of Oxford continue to deal with the wounds and scars of last November—this bill is a concrete step this body can take to help provide needed support services to Oxford’s students and teachers; and to provide new resources to schools across our state to help them improve their security and to keep their school communities safe. I ask for my colleagues’ support .
Senator Bayer’s statement is as follows:
I want to thank my colleague from the 14th District for her remarks and helping to explain what’s in this important piece of legislation before us now. I want to thank the folks who worked on putting this together. It has taken some months to come to a final place where we’re going to support the school system in this horrible tragedy. I know it was a lot of work here; it was work down the hall; and work down in these offices behind us—yours, over there. Thank you all very much for your support on this. I appreciate a “yes” vote and I know that the Oxford community will never forget our help in this circumstance.
