The communications were referred to the Clerk.

The following communication from the Department of Attorney General was received and read:

August 11, 2014

Public Act 183 of 2013 (the Student Safety Act) requires the Attorney General to file an Annual Report on July 31st of each year. The Report is to outline the activities undertaken pursuant to the Act during the prior calendar year.

Because PA 183 was enacted in mid-December 2013, no funds were expended during the 2013 calendar year. However, since that time, much work has been done to ensure that the OK2SAY program established by the Act is fully operational by the beginning of the 2014-2015 school year. For this reason, the Department of Attorney General has written the attached 2014 Status Report to update the Governor and members of the Michigan Legislature on the progress of this important program.

The first “Annual Report” will be filed no later than July 31, 2015.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Carol L. Isaacs

Chief Deputy Attorney General
