Context text
The House agreed to the title of the bill. Rep. Posthumus moved that the bill be given immediate effect. The motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor. Rep. Wooden, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement: “Mr. Speaker and members of the House: While I am very open and willing to support legislation that would provide greater local control over the administration of ballot test decks, I am concerned this bill, as written, would strip the Secretary’s ability to provide any form of oversight. Maintaining the integrity of our elections demands we keep as many checks and balances as possible. I am hopeful a compromise can be struck that offers meaningful local control with reasonable oversight from the Secretary of State’s office.” Rep. Posthumus moved that House Bill No. 4598 be placed on its immediate passage. The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor. House Bill No. 4598, entitled A bill to amend 2012 PA 455, entitled “Organized retail crime act,” by amending section 4 (MCL 752.1084).
