Senator Albert’s statement, in which Senators Victory and Theis concurred, is as follows:
Our state expanded Medicaid roughly a decade ago through the Healthy Michigan plan. This expansion was done with bipartisan support because it included some common-sense guardrails for the program. Measures were put in place to help ensure the program’s stability, including provisions that require participants to share costs and mechanisms that would allow the state to end the program if the cost eventually outweighed the savings. This helped reduce uncompensated care and also incentivized personal responsibility and preventative care.
The legislation before us today takes many of these guardrails out of the program. It removes many of the current provisions related to cost-sharing and it eliminates the trigger that would allow the state to end the program if federal funding for it went away or if the program no longer makes financial sense. Medicaid and similar programs are necessary to provide a safety net and help those who need help the most, but these programs are meant to help people temporarily, not forever. These changes in this legislation would strip away incentives for recipients to become more financially independent and move away from Medicaid coverage when possible. Taking away incentives to move out of poverty is never a good thing, and it certainly should not be celebrated.
It also promotes reliance on big government. The changes before us today promote big government as much—if not more—than healthcare. In early 2014, roughly 1.8 million Michiganders were in the state’s various Medicaid and children’s health insurance programs combined. In February of this year, the number has ballooned above 3 million. Obviously Michigan’s Medicaid expansion from a decade ago played a large part in this number increasing, but the more recent trends are not good. At least 500,000 more Michiganders are on Medicaid now than before the pandemic. That is just a couple of years, and in that time Michigan’s overall population has dropped.
I am all for a safety net, but that is not what our current welfare state offers. It offers dependency rather than independence. There is no reason why able-bodied adults who are capable of self-sufficiency should be prevented from a path of contributing to their community. There is a dignity one gains through earning a living and being responsible to others. Our welfare state misses this fact of our human nature and assumes people will be satisfied as long as their material wants and needs are met. We have over 60 years of experience to show this is not the case. In the places where the highest rates of government dependence are seen, we see poor results in student achievement, higher crime rates, and most ironically, greater poverty.
This bill moves our welfare state in the wrong direction. For these reasons I cannot support this legislation and I encourage my colleagues to vote “no.”

House Bill No. 4496, entitled

Senator Albert’s statement, in which Senator Theis concurred, is as follows:
I will begin my “no” vote explanation by stating that I am an organ donor and I will also state that organ donation is a very good thing and it clearly saves lives. As a state, we have a very well-established and functional process for becoming an organ donor. Could this process be improved? I agree, it probably could, because generally speaking, it is impossible to find a perfectly-run government program. But this legislation folding the Department of Treasury into the process is not the way to improve the program. I look at this proposal through a different lens than most because I was an employee of the Department of Treasury before joining the Legislature. That gives me a unique perspective. I understand this legislation may have good intentions, but the process it suggests is ridiculous.
It reminds me of recently watching my young children play with sticks in the back yard. I was amazed at the number of different ways these sticks could transform through their imagination. These sticks became predictable swords and walking canes, to the more original magic wands and musical instruments. All of which was amusing to watch, but it is altogether less amusing to watch adults act in the same manner but using Michigan’s state departments in place of sticks.
State departments have clearly-defined roles for a reason. Departments separate functions based on what is logical and efficient. You can’t simply imagine a state department into something it is not. The reason why we have organ donation run through the Secretary of State’s office is because there is a logical connection. If one is in a tragic and sudden life-ending accident, it is likely they will have their state ID or driver’s license in their possession. It makes perfect sense, therefore, to display a person’s organ donor status on their driver’s license and to have the Department of State control the donor registry. You can sign up for it when you get or renew a driver’s license, then you can carry that identification right with you. Looping in another state department into this process does not make sense. If we’re going to venture into new territory, why limit ourselves to Treasury? What could be next? Include a mandate that the Department of Natural Resources present organ donation signup as an option when reserving a state campsite? Require a state trooper ask if you want to join the registry at all traffic stops? Need an environmental permit from EGLE? Sign up as an organ donor.
If the goal here is to increase the number of organ donors and make it easier for them to register, I support that goal, but there’s a better way to do it. Work within the system that has already been created. Do more to market the easy ways to sign up that are already available such as the anytime online registry, or the already-available means at the Secretary of State offices. Another possible option to expand signup opportunities would be when people renew their vehicle registrations which happens every year through the Secretary of State. Administering organ donation is outside the function of the Department of Treasury. Let’s keep this valuable program where it belongs.
This bill proposal does a terrific job illustrating how Democrats have an insatiable appetite to grow government regardless of there being a justifiable need. I am more than willing to support proposals that will improve our current organ donor registry but I will only do so if Democrats come up with an alternative proposal that doesn’t needlessly grow the size of government or cast new responsibilities on our state departments which are outside their established purpose.

We have an opportunity to do a really good thing today and I want to thank my colleague from the 12th District for us working together on saving hundreds of dogs and cats after their time in a research lab. Dogs and cats that are typically perfectly adoptable, but that are typically euthanized after their time in a lab.
Of the roughly 600 dogs that are euthanized every year in Michigan, a good portion of them are beagles. Why beagles? Because they are docile, trusting, and forgiving. Teddy was—is, Teddy is alive—one of 32 beagles rescued from a Michigan lab in 2019 following reports of an undercover investigation. The report revealed that Teddy and dozens of other dogs were being force-fed fungicide every day, up to a year, to test the substance’s toxicity. Thankfully, Teddy and all 32 beagles were adopted into loving homes instead of being euthanized.
These dogs don’t have names, they have tattoos. These dogs have never played on the grass. These dogs have never played with another dog. If you vote “yes” today, all that has to end. Dogs that are able to be adopted after medical research will be required to be adopted by law. I hope you can do this very heartwarming and good thing today by voting “yes.”

Senator Albert’s statement is as follows:
This amendment is similar to one that I offered in this chamber before, designed to remind public employees of their rights under terms of a United States Supreme Court decision. It so happens that this week is the anniversary of the court’s Janus decision, which was issued on June 27th of 2018. In this decision, the Supreme Court determined public employees cannot be forced to join a union or pay union dues. This amendment would ensure that public employees are notified of their rights under this decision. It’s the least we can do in this legislative package that appears to benefit union leadership far more than schools or students. Thank you and I urge a “yes” vote on this amendment.

The motion prevailed.
Senator Albert’s statement is as follows:
This bill is part of an attempt to tilt school contract negotiations heavily in favor of labor unions. That certainly should not be done at the expense of kids or parents’ rights to know about what’s happening in their community’s schools. Current state law requires parents to be notified when students are assigned to teachers who have been rated ineffective in a subject area for two years in a row. The legislation before us today would weaken that protection by making the development, format, content, and procedures of the notification subject to collective bargaining. This amendment seeks to restore this language and keep this protection on behalf of our kids and their families. We cannot allow the rights of parents to know what is going on in schools to be weakened or bargained away in any circumstances.
Senator Daley’s statement is as follows:
I rise today to speak in favor of my amendment. My amendment would return to this bill the exemption from collective bargaining that has always been applied to intergovernmental agreements. I’ve heard from many local municipalities that fear this bill will have a drastic negative impact on their ability to function if this amendment is not adopted. Townships and counties rely on intergovernmental agreements to conduct their daily business and forcing them into collective bargaining would be a huge problem for all the taxpayers of Michigan. I was hoping that this was not an intentional decision from my colleagues across the aisle, but unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be the case. My amendment would fix this oversight and I encourage your support.
Senator Cherry’s statement is as follows:
The language stricken out in the bill that currently folks are not allowed to bargain over are procedures for obtaining a contract for the transfer or function of responsibilities under an agreement—meaning an interlocal agreement. What does that mean? What that means is folks who work in our schools or our public safety professionals are not allowed to bargain when their jobs are merged with other entities to make sure they’re still employed. By adopting this amendment, we would be preventing our police officers and our firefighters from being able to bargain to preserve their jobs when a merger occurs. Quite frankly, I think we should be allowing them to sit down at the table with their local units of government to make sure they maintain their jobs and their benefits, and when the new department is created they are allowed to be employed by that department and are able to maintain job security. While I do care about the efficiency of local government, I think we should be allowing those employees to sit down at a table and have a conversation about preserving their jobs.
