- Rep. Sowerby, 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: I voted no on House Bill 4064 because, under this legislation, the Office of the State Employee Ombudsman would fall under the authority of the Legislative Council, a partisan body whose members are appointed by the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader. This partisan process will inevitably politicize a system that should only be objective.” House Bill No. 4540, entitled A bill to amend 1965 PA 203, entitled “Michigan commission on law enforcement standards act,” by amending section 2 (MCL 28.602), as amended by 2016 PA 289.
