- Mr. President, the bill as written before us only applies to the tax exemption for the purchasing of safety devices for a single year. My substitute would apply this exemption permanently and fully remove any state-imposed financial barriers to purchase the safety devices in question. This impactful change is aimed at incentivizing the purchase and usage of these devices while also supporting the Michigan taxpayers by keeping more money in their pockets, and not the exceedingly-full coffers of this state. I ask for a “yes” vote on my substitute to make these exemptions permanent.
Senator Irwin’s statement is as follows:
Very often in the Legislature we sunset provisions so that the Legislature can come back and take another look at them. I think it’s important, and I’m urging colleagues to vote “no” on this substitute — that we come back in this Legislature and consider whether this is an exemption that needs to continue, consider how successful it’s been, and I would also hate to rob a future group of legislators of the opportunity to extend this and for someone else to get a bill passed. For those reasons, I encourage everyone to vote “no.”

Senate Bill No. 82, entitled

- following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I will always advocate for responsible gun ownership, but this broad mandate doesn’t solve the root issues
of violence or deter criminals from breaking laws that we already have. We already have plenty of laws on
the books that can be used to punish people who act recklessly with a firearm to endanger children. These
bills simply micromanage law-abiding citizens who wish to protect themselves with a firearm.”
Rep. Aiyash moved that Senate Bill No. 82 be placed on its immediate passage.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
