The Senate agreed to the full title.
Senator Moss asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Moss’ statement is as follows:
I really just wanted to briefly thank everybody for helping to move this package forward. I’m speaking on behalf of the Representative from Michigan’s 8th District over in the House of Representatives who is the sponsor of this bill.
This has been a bipartisan, bicameral effort through and through for the past four years and the fact that we’re in the final throes of this getting to the Governor’s desk is a huge achievement and an acknowledgement to all of our hard work on making sure that somebody’s good moral character—the definition of ‘good moral character’—isn’t held against them as they seek to right the wrongs from their past and get a fair shot for employment here in the state of Michigan.
I just wanted to say we’ve made it—this four-year process. I want to thank all our colleagues for their support, specifically the chairman of the Regulatory Reform Committee for his help on this today, and just wanted to say it warrants a “yes” vote.
