context_text:
This is a part of our ongoing efforts to reform our criminal justice system and think about who this system is serving. When someone commits a crime, they should face the appropriate consequences. It may be incarceration, probation, and fines, but there are defined consequences. And when someone faces that punishment and then fully repays their debt to society, what do we want to happen to them next?
Right now, regardless of the severity of the crime, the length of the punishment, and the work toward reformed behavior, people with a criminal conviction face a life sentence of unemployability. Because, as they work to put their life in order—as we want them to—should they apply for an occupation license from the state to hold a job in Michigan, they must first pass a “good moral character” test. And that criminal conviction, in and of itself, can be used to deny someone an occupation license.
Let’s unpack that paradox here. We have a new Vocational Village in the Department of Corrections—a “first-of-its-kind skilled trades training program that aims to provide a positive learning community for prisoners who are serious about completing career and technical education”—that’s right from the Department of Corrections’ website. The state is actually training prisoners who seek rehabilitation for jobs that the state knows they won’t be able to hold.
Last session, we heard testimony in the House of Representatives from Gary Wozniak who founded Recovery Park in Detroit, an urban non-profit farm that employs people who have difficulty finding work, including those with criminal records or recovering from drug addictions. The same difficulties Gary encountered after he completed a sentence for financial crimes 30 years ago but wouldn’t even be able to get a license from the state to mop the floor in a nursing home.
I have been working for years with bipartisan partners—first in the House last session and now in the Senate this session—to reform that definition of “good moral character.” Under my bill here and several House bills that will be coming before us in the next few weeks, state licensing boards and agencies would have to consider an applicant’s overall employability, such as how long ago the offense occurred, other evidence of rehabilitation, testimonials, employment history, and employment aspirations.
The current system fails when the state encourages returning citizens to continue on their path toward reform, yet gives them few opportunities to fairly compete in our economy. A lot of these employment hurdles disproportionately impact people of color because the criminal justice system disproportionately adjudicates against people of color. These bills also represent a part of the solution needed to address racial disparities while giving everyone a chance to overcome their past mistakes.
We formed an impressive coalition to get this done of Democratic and Republican House members joining me on this package, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Mackinac Center, and Americans for Prosperity. Yes, this is the Moss bill backed by Americans for Prosperity—and truly demonstrates the bipartisan need to give people a second chance to become productive, tax-paying citizens of our state, and keep them out of the criminal justice system.

Senator McMorrow’s second statement is as follows:
I rise in my support of the Hertel amendment to break the tie-bar to these bills, and I’m happy to discuss them. We reviewed these bills in the Economic and Small Business Development Committee and did not vote them out. I think one of the things that’s really important is that we grapple with the reality of the situation.
As of September 1, nationwide, there were about 4,600 lawsuits that had been filed with businesses related to COVID-19. Nine of them—nine—across the entire country were employees filing lawsuits against their employer related to protections or lack thereof related to COVID-19. A majority of those lawsuits were related to insurance disputes, which has nothing to do with what we’re talking about here, but what this says is that we are granting blanket liability protections to employers at a time when all of the employers that I talk to say their biggest issue right now is getting employees to come back to work. Many of those employees are scared. They want to come back to work. They don’t want to receive unemployment. They want to get back to their jobs. They want their kids to go back to school. They want things to go back to normal.
But they’re not going to go to a workplace that they see has no responsibility for them as an employee, that has blanket liability protections, that if they get sick at work, that their employer is not responsible for that. We’ve already seen some of our farm workers and the groups representing farm workers come out in opposition to these bills for that exact reason. That we want to make sure there are worker protections. We want to make sure that everybody is doing the right thing and that we don’t create a space where employers who are not doing the right thing, who are not encouraging their employees to wear masks or social distance or wash their hands or do the things that we all know need to be done for us to open and re-open and stay open safely, that we’re not creating a space where they are not responsible for those basic protections with their employees.
The unintended consequence considering these are bills in search of a problem given that we have not seen litigation at the scale that many of the business groups say we are, is that it might scare people from going back to work. When I talk to every single employer, that is the biggest issue—how do we get people back to work safely?
Senator Hertel’s second statement is as follows:
To my good friend from the 32nd District, I’m not talking about the merits of this issue at all. I think the bills you’re talking about have merit and I think they should go through the process and we should discuss them and we should negotiate them and figure it out. What I am saying is that the idea that you would say that before we do all that, before we have negotiations or discussions, that those bills have to be signed by the Governor before we give unemployment benefits that were taken away through no fault of people’s own, that they might owe thousands of dollars back to the state because of a lawsuit they’re not part of. And only one group decided to take those powers away from the Governor so that those consequences are there. Let’s work together and solve the immediate problem in front of us—the thousands of people in our own districts who lose unemployment based on a lawsuit—and let that be the first thing we work on without any other political nonsense. I ask that you vote “yes” on my amendment.

Senator Santana asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Santana’s statement is as follows:
Today I just want to rise to say that it has been a long journey to get to this point with these particular bills for Pretrial Incarceration Task Force. I want to take the opportunity to thank our leaders, Chief Justice Bridget McCormack and in addition to that our Lieutenant Governor, Garlin Gilchrist, and also the Pew Charitable Trusts and all of our committee members who over the past two years listened to testimony and also heard the needs of our jails.
We were locking people up for minor violations like failure to appear and also insurance issues in our jails and because of that, people were losing out on their economic stability. And so today we are taking the opportunity to make that wrong right and in addition to that, make sure that we are not using dollars and resources unnecessarily. So I want to say thank you all today for your commitment to support this bill package and in addition to that, getting this done and doing the right thing for the people of Michigan. So thank you.

Senators McMorrow, Bayer, Irwin, Geiss, Alexander, Wojno and Santana, under their constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against the passage of Senate Bill Nos. 1149, 1150, and 1153.
Senator McMorrow moved that the statement she made during the discussion of Senate Bill No. 1153 be printed as her reasons for voting “no.”
The motion prevailed.
Senator McMorrow’s statement, in which Senators Bayer, Irwin, Geiss, Alexander, Wojno and Santana concurred, is as follows:
I rise to give my “no” vote explanation on Senate Bill Nos. 1149, 1150, and 1153.
These bills have been brought before us for the idea that as a company transitions to a fully automated warehouse, that we would grant them additional property, sales, and use tax exemptions—that they want the same qualifications as a manufacturer. And as we think about this, I think that it presents a unique challenge. A company came before our committee and said—this is a company that’s been a phenomenal corporate partner in Michigan; who’s been here their entire career; who’s created careers and countless jobs throughout our state, which is fantastic, and brought up the challenge of as we look to companies like Amazon, Foxconn was brought up in our committee—that the state tends to bend over backwards to get new companies into the state by offering tax incentives and lucrative packages to lure these companies here and that it’s not a level playing field. And with that I fundamentally agree. However, I don’t believe that we should be incentivizing automation of jobs—the elimination of jobs. And for our locals, it’s death by a thousand cuts. These are cuts to our local communities, cuts to our local schools, to our services, and we’ve seen over the past decade or so the tax burden shift radically from companies onto the backs of taxpayers so that people who live in our communities every day feel like they’re paying much more and getting much less. So I agree with the bill sponsor and those who are supportive of this package that we do need to level the playing field. But I would like to see the Amazons of the world step up and be able to pay their same fair share as many of our companies here do.
And just to put that into perspective, over the course of this pandemic—from March to now—Jeff Bezos’ personal net worth has increased by more than $60 billion—more than the entire budget of the state of Michigan for 10 million residents for an entire year. So I don’t think that it’s too much to ask that we take a really, really close look at how we are taxing companies who do business here, what we are incentivizing, and how we bring companies in here to grow here, to make sure we’re providing jobs here, but also that we are not cutting funding to our schools, to our people, to our public services, to our police, and the things that are really going to be, what I think is going to attract and retain companies here which is our people and making sure that they want to move to Michigan, stay in Michigan, and raise their families in Michigan.
