Rep. Hildenbrand, 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:
After carefully studying this issue, I have arrived at the conclusion that this legislation as currently written will do absolutely nothing to make sure toys are safe. Instead of going after violators, the legislation creates a confusing patchwork of bureaucratic regulations and reporting requirements that will generate a lot of paperwork, but will fail to keep toxic toys out of the toy box.
Two other states considering similar legislation pegged the cost at more than $500,000 per year. Considering the governor just proposed firing 100 state police troopers to save money in the budget, I do not believe we can afford this expense at this time.
The EPA already has the ability to ban toxic substances and make sure they are not used in children’s toys. The proper solution is to continue working with the president and Congress to fix the problem at the federal level, which will actually block toxic toys from being sold, instead of creating another layer of burdensome regulations making it even harder to do business or create jobs in Michigan.
The fact that this legislation allows exemptions for foods that a child may actually ingest and tobacco products that will expose them to second-hand smoke proves that this legislation is more about scoring political points than it is about protecting children.
Claiming to do something ‘for the children’ is one of the oldest tricks in the politicians’ playbook, but grandstanding does not solve real problems. Unfortunately, rather than work in a bipartisan manner, lawmakers chose to ram this flawed legislation through the House instead of working to fix Michigan’s economy.”
Rep. Agema, 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:
Vote Explanation
HB 4763-4769 (Toxic Toys)
Michigan is losing 1,000 jobs a day. Rather than working to fix our economy, Democrats are actively making it worse by introducing politically-charged bills that do nothing to lower our unemployment rate but instead create even more regulations that will drive away jobs and businesses.

Rep. Hildenbrand, 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:
After carefully studying this issue, I have arrived at the conclusion that this legislation as currently written will do absolutely nothing to make sure toys are safe. Instead of going after violators, the legislation creates a confusing patchwork of bureaucratic regulations and reporting requirements that will generate a lot of paperwork, but will fail to keep toxic toys out of the toy box.
Two other states considering similar legislation pegged the cost at more than $500,000 per year. Considering the governor just proposed firing 100 state police troopers to save money in the budget, I do not believe we can afford this expense at this time.
The EPA already has the ability to ban toxic substances and make sure they are not used in children’s toys. The proper solution is to continue working with the president and Congress to fix the problem at the federal level, which will actually block toxic toys from being sold, instead of creating another layer of burdensome regulations making it even harder to do business or create jobs in Michigan.
The fact that this legislation allows exemptions for foods that a child may actually ingest and tobacco products that will expose them to second-hand smoke proves that this legislation is more about scoring political points than it is about protecting children.
Claiming to do something ‘for the children’ is one of the oldest tricks in the politicians’ playbook, but grandstanding does not solve real problems. Unfortunately, rather than work in a bipartisan manner, lawmakers chose to ram this flawed legislation through the House instead of working to fix Michigan’s economy.”
Rep. Schuitmaker, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
No Vote Explanation
HB 4763-4769 (Toxic Toys)
Michigan is losing 1,000 jobs a day. Rather than working to fix our economy, Democrats are actively making it worse by introducing politically-charged bills that do nothing to lower our unemployment rate but instead create even more regulations that will drive away jobs and businesses.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
TITLE
An act to revise and consolidate the statutes relating to the organization and jurisdiction of the courts of this state; the powers and duties of such the courts, and of the judges and other officers thereof of the courts; the forms and attributes of civil claims and actions; the time within which civil actions and proceedings may be brought in said the courts; pleading, evidence, practice, and procedure in civil and criminal actions and proceedings in said the courts; to provide for the powers and duties of certain state governmental officers and entities; to provide remedies and penalties for the violation of certain provisions of this act; to repeal all acts and parts of acts inconsistent with or contravening any of the provisions of this act; and to repeal acts and parts of acts.
Sec. 3204. (1) A Subject to subsection (4), a party may foreclose a mortgage by advertisement if all of the following circumstances exist:
(a) A default in a condition of the mortgage has occurred, by which the power to sell became operative.
(b) An action or proceeding has not been instituted, at law, to recover the debt secured by the mortgage or any part of the mortgage; or, if an action or proceeding has been instituted, the action or proceeding has been discontinued; or an execution on a judgment rendered in an action or proceeding has been returned unsatisfied, in whole or in part.
(c) The mortgage containing the power of sale has been properly recorded.
(d) The party foreclosing the mortgage is either the owner of the indebtedness or of an interest in the indebtedness secured by the mortgage or the servicing agent of the mortgage.

The mortgage for each of the installments may be foreclosed in the same manner and with the same effect as if a separate mortgage were given for each subsequent installment. A redemption of a sale by the mortgagor has the same effect as if the sale for the installment had been made upon an independent prior mortgage.
(3) If the party foreclosing a mortgage by advertisement is not the original mortgagee, a record chain of title shall exist prior to the date of sale under section 3216 evidencing the assignment of the mortgage to the party foreclosing the mortgage.
(4) A party shall not commence proceedings under this chapter to foreclose a mortgage of property described in section 3205a(1) if 1 or more of the following apply:
(a) Notice has not been mailed to the mortgagor as required by section 3205a.
(b) After a notice is mailed to the mortgagor under section 3205a, the time for a housing counselor to notify the person designated under section 3205a(1)(c) of a request by the mortgagor under section 3205b(1) has not expired.
(c) Within 14 days after a notice is mailed to the mortgagor under section 3205a, the mortgagor has requested a meeting under section 3205b with the person designated under section 3205a(1)(c) and 90 days have not passed after the notice was mailed.
(d) The mortgagor has requested a meeting under section 3205b with the person designated under section 3205a(1)(c), the mortgagor has provided documents if requested under section 3205b(2), and the person designated under section 3205a(1)(c) has not met or negotiated with the mortgagor under this chapter.
(e) The mortgagor and mortgagee have agreed to modify the mortgage loan and the mortgagor is not in default under the modified agreement.
(f) Calculations under section 3205c(1) show that the mortgagor is eligible for a loan modification and foreclosure under this chapter is not allowed under section 3205c(7).
(5) Subsection (4) applies only to proceedings under this chapter in which the first notice under section 3208 is published after the effective date of the amendatory act that added this subsection and before 2 years after the effective date of the amendatory act that added this subsection.
Sec. 3205. As used in this section and sections 3205a to 3205d:
(a) “Borrower” means the mortgagor.
(b) “Mortgage holder” means the owner of the indebtedness or of an interest in the indebtedness that is secured by the mortgage.
(c) “Mortgage servicer” means the servicing agent of the mortgage.
Enacting section 1. This amendatory act takes effect 45 days after the date it is enacted into law.
Enacting section 2. This amendatory act does not take effect unless all of the following bills of the 95th Legislature are enacted into law:
(a) House Bill No. 4454.
(b) House Bill No. 4455.
Third: That the House and Senate agree to the title of the bill to read as follows:
A bill to amend 1961 PA 236, entitled “An act to revise and consolidate the statutes relating to the organization and jurisdiction of the courts of this state; the powers and duties of such courts, and of the judges and other officers thereof; the forms and attributes of civil claims and actions; the time within which civil actions and proceedings may be brought in said courts; pleading, evidence, practice and procedure in civil and criminal actions and proceedings in said courts; to provide remedies and penalties for the violation of certain provisions of this act; to repeal all acts and parts of acts inconsistent with or contravening any of the provisions of this act; and to repeal acts and parts of acts,” by amending the title and section 3204 (MCL 600.3204), the title as amended by 1999 PA 239 and section 3204 as amended by 2004 PA 186, and by adding section 3205.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 3205c. (1) If a borrower has contacted a housing counselor under section 3205b but the process has not resulted in an agreement to modify the mortgage loan, the person designated under section 3205a(1)(c) shall work with the borrower to determine whether the borrower qualifies for a loan modification. Unless the loan is described in subsection (2) or (3), in making the determination under this subsection, the person designated under section 3205a(1)(c) shall use a loan modification program or process that includes all of the following features:
(a) The loan modification program or process targets a ratio of the borrower’s housing-related debt to the borrower’s gross income of 38% or less, on an aggregate basis. Housing-related debt under this subdivision includes mortgage principal and interest, property taxes, insurance, and homeowner’s fees.
(b) To reach the 38% target specified in subdivision (a), 1 or more of the following features:
(i) An interest rate reduction, as needed, subject to a floor of 3%, for a fixed term of at least 5 years.
(ii) An extension of the amortization period for the loan term, to 40 years or less from the date of the loan modification.
(iii) Deferral of some portion of the amount of the unpaid principal balance of 20% or less, until maturity, refinancing of the loan, or sale of the property.
(iv) Reduction or elimination of late fees.
(2) In making the determination under subsection (1), if the mortgage loan is pooled for sale to an investor that is a governmental entity, the person designated under section 3205a(1)(c) shall follow the modification guidelines dictated by the governmental entity.
(3) In making the determination under subsection (1), if the mortgage loan has been sold to a government-sponsored enterprise, the person designated under section 3205a(1)(c) shall follow the modification guidelines dictated by the government-sponsored enterprise.
(4) This section does not prohibit a loan modification on other terms or another loss mitigation strategy instead of modification if the other modification or strategy is agreed to by the borrower and the person designated under section 3205a(1)(c).
(5) The person designated under section 3205a(1)(c) shall provide the borrower with both of the following:
(a) A copy of any calculations made by the person under this section.
(b) If requested by the borrower, a copy of the program, process, or guidelines under which the determination under subsection (1) was made.
(6) Subject to subsection (7), if the results of the calculation under subsection (1) are that the borrower is eligible for a modification, the mortgage holder or mortgage servicer shall not foreclose the mortgage under this chapter but may proceed under chapter 31. If the results of the calculation under subsection (1) are that the borrower is not eligible for a modification or if subsection (7) applies, the mortgage holder or mortgage lender may foreclose the mortgage under this chapter.
(7) If the determination under subsection (1) is that the borrower is eligible for a modification, the mortgage holder or mortgage servicer may proceed to foreclose the mortgage under this chapter if both of the following apply:
(a) The person designated under section 3205a(1)(c) has in good faith offered the borrower a modification agreement prepared in accordance with the modification determination.
(b) For reasons not related to any action or inaction of the mortgage holder or mortgage servicer, the borrower has not executed and returned the modification agreement within 14 days after the borrower received the agreement.
(8) If a mortgage holder or mortgage servicer begins foreclosure proceedings under this chapter in violation of this section, the borrower may file an action in the circuit court for the county where the mortgaged property is situated to convert the foreclosure proceeding to a judicial foreclosure. If a borrower files an action under this section and the court determines that the borrower participated in the process under section 3205b, a modification agreement was not reached, and the borrower is eligible for modification under subsection (1), and subsection (7) does not apply, the court shall enjoin foreclosure of the mortgage by advertisement and order that the foreclosure proceed under chapter 31.
Sec. 3205d. The Michigan state housing development authority shall develop the list of housing counselors approved by the United States department of housing and urban development or by the Michigan state housing development authority who may perform the duties of housing counselor under sections 3205a to 3205c.
