- In The Chair: Nesbitt
The Senate agreed to the title of the bill.
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:
My amendment would provide businesses with a grant if they experience financial hardships during the Michigan Department of Transportation’s projects. Sometimes projects disrupt and end existing small businesses. Small businesses, we all know, are the bread and butter to all our communities. Unfortunately, during construction seasons sometimes roads get closed, sidewalks get torn up, and parking lots are not accessible. But nearby businesses stay open to serve the consumers.
Construction is a necessary disruption, but it can create major financial headaches for small business owners. I ask my colleagues today to support the amendment, so we can support our local economies.
