In these times of turbulence and high emotions calm our hearts and minds

So we can do Your will, caring for those in need, those who carry heavy burdens and the sick and elderly.

Bless all who enter this chamber today and every day with peace and understanding

We ask this in Your blessed name

Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

The Speaker laid before the House

House Resolution No. 278.

A resolution to declare May 2022 as Foster Care Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

(The resolution was introduced and postponed for the day on April 28, see House Journal No. 37, p. 545.)

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

By unanimous consent the House considered House Resolution No. 288 out of numerical order.

 

Reps. Filler, O’Malley, Breen, Tyrone Carter, Cavanagh, Garza, Haadsma, Kahle, Koleszar, Marino, Morse, Sneller, Steenland, Thanedar and Weiss offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 288.

A resolution to declare May 4, 2022, as Provider Appreciation Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, National Provider Appreciation Day, was started in 1996 by a group of volunteers in New Jersey. This group saw the need to recognize the tireless efforts of providers who care for children of working parents; and

Whereas, Over half the children under the age of six nationwide are estimated to spend some time in a nonparental care arrangement on a weekly basis, which provides critical enrichment opportunities and nurtures development for children of all backgrounds and is a vital building block of our state economy; and

Whereas, The COVID-19 pandemic has created tremendous hardship for childcare providers and the families of Michigan who depend on them, who have continued to meet the needs of families while risking their health and financial stability to remain open; and

Whereas, Our future depends on the quality of the early childhood experiences provided to young children today; support for high-quality childcare represents a worthy commitment to our children’s future; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 4, 2022, as Provider Appreciation Day in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

Reps. Markkanen, LaGrand, Rabhi, Rogers, Hood, Steckloff, Howell, Sowerby, Roth, Rendon, Beson, Garza and Marino offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 284.

A resolution to requesting information from the Michigan Attorney General regarding evidence or testimony submitted to the Michigan Public Service Commission in electric utility rates cases pertaining to residential customers in the distributed generation program.

Whereas, In 2016, the Michigan Legislature approved Public Act 341 on a broad bi-partisan basis to restructure numerous aspects of Michigan’s electric utility system, including policies related to customers operating solar energy systems at their homes; and

Whereas, The Legislature directed the Michigan Public Service Commission to establish a new tariff and rate structure, known as the distributed generation program, for residential customers to be compensated for any surplus electricity supplied to the grid, based on an equitable cost of service; and

Whereas, The Commission has complied with this requirement by establishing an “inflow-outflow” tariff within the distributed generation program that identifies an equitable cost of service and fair rate of compensation to residential customers; and

Whereas, The Michigan Senate respectfully requested through Senate Resolution 142 of 2020 that the Commission conduct a rate design study to determine if the distributed generation program was structured in a manner that would comply with the statutory equitable cost of service standard; and

Whereas, The study conducted by the Commission in response to Senate Resolution 142 concluded that the distributed generation “inflow-outflow” tariff determined in rate cases does serve to provide an equitable cost of service outcome for residential solar customers; and

Whereas, Since the establishment of the distributed generation program, a series of rate cases have been filed by various regulated utilities requesting additional charges, fees, or unique rates be applied to residential customers; and

Whereas, It has been reported that the proposed charges, fees, or rates would penalize residential solar customers with higher costs for their energy use even while providing surplus energy to the grid; and

Whereas, The Michigan Attorney General routinely serves as an intervening party in rate cases before the Commission; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we request the Michigan Attorney General to provide to the House Energy Committee a written summary of evidence or testimony submitted to the Michigan Public Service Commission by the Attorney General in response to rate cases filed by regulated utilities after June 1, 2018, pertaining to the distributed generation program; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Attorney General.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Energy.

 

 

Reps. Markkanen, LaGrand, Rabhi, Rogers, Hood, Steckloff, Howell, Sowerby, Roth, Rendon, Beson, Calley and Marino offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 285.

A resolution to requesting the Michigan Public Service Commission to provide a report to the House Energy Committee summarizing the proposals of regulated utilities pertaining to the distributed generation program in rate cases filed after June 1, 2018.

Whereas, In 2016, the Michigan Legislature approved Public Act 341 on a broad bi-partisan basis to restructure numerous aspects of Michigan’s electric utility system, including policies related to customers operating solar energy systems at their homes; and

Whereas, The Legislature directed the Michigan Public Service Commission to establish a new tariff and rate structure, known as the distributed generation program, for residential customers to be compensated for any surplus electricity supplied to the grid, based on an equitable cost of service; and

Whereas, The Commission has complied with this requirement by establishing an “inflow-outflow” tariff within the distributed generation program that identifies an equitable cost of service and fair rate of compensation to residential customers; and

Whereas, Whereas, the Michigan Senate respectfully requested through Senate Resolution 142 of 2020 that the Commission conduct a rate design study to determine if the distributed generation program was structured in a manner that would comply with the statutory equitable cost of service standard; and

Whereas, The study conducted by the Commission in response to Senate Resolution 142 concluded that the distributed generation “inflow-outflow” tariff determined in rate cases provides an equitable cost of service outcome for residential solar customers; and

Whereas, Since the establishment of the distributed generation program, a series of rate cases have been filed by multiple regulated utilities requesting additional charges, fees, or rates be applied to distributed generation residential customers; and

Whereas, It has been reported that the proposed charges, fees, or rates would penalize residential solar customers with higher costs for their energy use even while providing surplus energy to the grid; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we request the Michigan Public Service Commission to provide a report to the House Energy Committee summarizing the proposals of regulated utilities pertaining to the distributed generation program in rate cases filed after June 1, 2018; and be it further

Resolved, That the report indicate whether the filed proposals contained charges, fees, or rates that are outside of the distributed generation program parameters and provide an estimate of the projected impact on customer costs of those charges, fees, or rates; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Public Service Commission and its staff.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Energy.

 

 

Reps. Brenda Carter, Breen, Calley, Tyrone Carter, Cavanagh, Garza, Haadsma, Hope, Koleszar, Morse, Sneller, Sowerby, Steenland, Thanedar, Weiss and Young offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 286.

A resolution to declare May 2022 as Mental Health Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The month of May is observed as Mental Health Awareness Month across the United States to educate communities about mental illnesses and reduce the stigma that surrounds them; and

Whereas, Mental health is essential to everyone’s overall health and well‐being; and

Whereas, All Americans face challenges in life that can impact their mental health; and

Whereas, The National Alliance on Mental Illness reports that over 1.3 million adult Michiganders have a mental health condition; and

Whereas, Prevention is an effective way to reduce the burden of mental health conditions; and

Whereas, There are practical tools that all people can use to improve their mental health and increase resiliency; and

Whereas, With effective treatment, those individuals with mental health conditions can recover and lead full, productive lives; and

Whereas, By ignoring the illnesses of our fellow citizens, it will only further stigmatize those who suffer from a mental, behavioral, or emotional disorder; and

Whereas, Each business, school, government agency, health care provider, organization, and citizen share the burden of mental health problems and has a responsibility to promote mental wellness and support prevention and treatment efforts; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2022 as Mental Health Awareness Month in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That we call upon all citizens, government agencies, public and private institutions, businesses, and schools to commit to increasing the awareness and understanding of mental health, the steps we can take to protect mental health, and the need for appropriate and accessible services for all people with mental health conditions.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

Reps. Glenn, Breen, Tyrone Carter, Cavanagh, Garza, Haadsma, Marino, Morse, Sneller, Steenland, Thanedar and Weiss offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 287.

A resolution to declare May 2022 as Huntington’s Disease Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas Huntington’s disease is a progressive degenerative neurological disease affecting 41,000 Americans while another 200,000 are genetically “at risk” of inheriting the expanded gene responsible for causing the disease; and

Whereas, Each child of a parent with Huntington’s disease has a 50 percent chance of inheriting the Huntington’s disease gene; and

Whereas, Huntington’s disease typically occurs in mid-life, between the ages of 30 and 50, though onset has been known to occur in children as young as 2 years of age; and

Whereas, The average lifespan after onset of Huntington’s disease is 10-20 years, and the younger the age of onset, the more rapid the progression of the disease, resulting in children who develop the juvenile form of the disease rarely living to adulthood; and

Whereas, Since the discovery of the gene that causes Huntington’s disease in 1993, the pace of HD research has accelerated. Scientists across the nation are conducting important research into Huntington’s Disease, which at present has no effective treatment or cure; and

Whereas, It is critical to the success of research and support services to raise awareness in the general public and the medical community about Huntington’s disease; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2022 as Huntington’s Disease Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We encourage all citizens to join in the observance.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Meerman, Garza and Marino offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 289.

A resolution to urge Congress to pass legislation that would allow farmers to petition the U.S. International Trade Commission to temporarily waive tariffs on imports of fertilizer and fertilizer ingredients imported from Morocco.

Whereas, Michigan’s agricultural industry is vitally important to the state economy. As our nation’s second most diverse agricultural system, it contributes more than $104.7 billion in economic activity annually to the state. More than 800,000 people work in Michigan’s agricultural industry, and care for nearly 10 million acres of land; and

Whereas, Fertilizer is a critical agricultural input that is utilized by farmers to provide nutrients to their land and maximize the productivity of their farms. Michigan farmers require access to fertilizers in order to nourish their land and maintain production levels; and

Whereas, The International Trade Commission (ITC) determined that the import of foreign fertilizers injured U.S. manufacturers. As a result, the ITC decided to impose a nineteen percent tariff on imports of fertilizer and fertilizer ingredients from Morocco. The tariffs, which were implemented in early 2021, significantly increased fertilizer prices; and

Whereas, Fertilizer prices in the United States are now at an all-time high. Fertilizer prices had already been increasing due to factors such as rising costs of raw materials and increased demand for inputs. With these tariffs in effect, farmers who were already struggling to compete with rising costs are now faced with an increased financial burden and uncertain future; and

Whereas, Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to rely on imported fertilizer and fertilizer ingredients. For example, more than 95 percent of potash, one of the key components found in fertilizer, is currently imported from outside the U.S.; and

Whereas, Michigan contains the only commercial deposit of natural potash in the U.S. and the highest quality natural potash deposit in the world. The Michigan Legislature recently provided an investment of $50 million to establish potash extraction infrastructure in Michigan. Once completed, this project will help increase domestic supply of this critical mineral, thereby strengthening and securing the supply of high-quality potash for Michigan farmers, in addition to providing hundreds of full-time jobs and boosting Michigan’s economy. This will be crucial for the Michigan agricultural industry, as significant supply shortages and skyrocketing costs continue to burden Michigan farmers; and

Whereas, Legislation has been introduced in Congress that would allow a process for farmers to petition the ITC to temporarily waive tariffs on imports of fertilizer and fertilizer ingredients. With the price of fertilizer on the rise, this would help alleviate costs for farmers, as Morocco is one of the top five exporters of fertilizer to the United States; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge Congress to pass legislation that would allow farmers to petition the ITC to temporarily waive tariffs on imports of fertilizer and fertilizer ingredients imported from Morocco; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Agriculture.

    “ONE-TIME APPROPRIATIONS

Sec. 401. (1) The post-acute auto injury provider relief fund is created within the department of treasury.

(2) The funds appropriated in part 1 for the post-acute auto injury provider relief fund must be deposited into the fund.

(3) All funds deposited into the fund are appropriated and are available for expenditure. Expenditures are limited to support purposes as specified in this section. Not more than $500,000.00 may be expended from the fund by the department for administrative expenses incurred under this section.

(4) Interest and earnings from the investment of money deposited into the fund must be deposited into the general fund.

(5) A provider may receive a distribution from the fund only if the charge pertains to a service for which there is no Medicare code and the provider can demonstrate to the department that fees under section 3157 of the insurance code of 1956, 1956 PA 218, MCL 500.3157, have caused the provider to receive reimbursement at a rate below the cost of providing the service. To meet this standard, a provider must submit all of the following to the department with the provider’s application for payments received after July 1, 2021:

(a) Evidence to demonstrate that the provider attempted to bill for a service that does not have a Medicare code and has not been paid at the charged rate or otherwise reimbursed.

(b) The provider’s 2019 chargemaster.

(c) The provider’s invoice for the charge for which the provider is seeking supplemental payment from the fund.

(d) Evidence of payment received for the charge for which the provider is seeking supplemental payment from the fund.

(e) Medical prescription corresponding to the services associated with the charge for which the provider is seeking supplemental payment from the fund, demonstrating reasonable necessity of the services.

(f) Evidence of 5 separate payments received in full prior to July 1, 2021, for the charge for which the provider is seeking supplemental payment from the fund.

(6) A provider that enters this state as a new licensee or that reorganizes, reincorporates, or otherwise reestablishes itself in the same or similar business under a new name after January 1, 2019, is not eligible to receive money from the fund. The department shall include the prohibition under this subsection in application guidance provided by the department.

(7) The department shall administer the fund, including reviewing and approving applications for funding and distributing funding to post-acute auto injury providers. Specifically, the department shall comply with all of the following requirements:

(a) The department shall develop application and review processes. These processes must include criteria established under this section.

(b) The department shall develop a process to retrieve any distributed money that is later determined to have been distributed as a result of fraudulent conditions or as a result of fraudulent information. Any fraudulent activity related to the fund constitutes fraud for purposes of the insurance code of 1956, 1956 PA 218, MCL 500.100 to 500.8302. Any funds retrieved under this subdivision may be dispersed according to this section, even if the fund was previously exhausted.

(c) The department shall begin accepting applications for distributions from the fund not later than 30 days after the effective date of the appropriation in part 1 described in subsection (2).

(d) The department shall review all applications and issue a determination not later than 10 days after the receipt of a completed application. A provider that submits an incomplete application is subject to a new 10‑day application period after the completed application is received. If the department determines a distribution from the fund is appropriate, that distribution shall be made to the provider within 5 days of the determination.

(e) The department shall report to the legislature 15 days before the application process opens. This report must include a sample application and any corresponding guidance or rules promulgated by the department.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the department shall document and make available on a publicly accessible website all information related to approval or denial of distributions of money to providers from the fund.

(g) The department shall award money from the fund to providers on a first-come, first-served basis. Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (b), no money may be paid from the fund after the fund is exhausted.

(8) The department shall provide a quarterly report to the legislature, and shall make the report available on a publicly accessible website, that includes all of the following:

(a) The number of providers that have applied for funding from the fund.

(b) A list of the providers that have been approved for funding and the amounts awarded.

(c) A list of providers that have been denied funding and the reason for each denial.

(d) For each provider approved for a funding distribution, metrics on all charges and payments received in response to those charges under section 3157 of the insurance code of 1956, 1956 PA 218, MCL 500.3157.

(e) The total amount expended and remaining in the fund.

(9) One year after the department begins accepting applications for distributions from the fund or after money in the fund is exhausted, whichever occurs first, the department shall report to the legislature, and make the report available on a publicly accessible website, all of the following:

(a) Aggregated data reported in the quarterly reports under subsection (8).

(b) Analysis of the impact of section 3157 of the insurance code of 1956, 1956 PA 218, MCL 500.3157, and of the distributions from the fund and any recommendations the director may wish to offer to the legislature.

(10) A provider that avails itself of the fund and to which funds are distributed does so as their exclusive remedy and forgoes all other forms of recovery for the charges for which reimbursement is sought under this section. Any payment under this section is inadmissible for any purposes outside of claims made with the department.

(11) Funds appropriated in part 1 for the fund must be used to support distributions to providers facing systematic losses with respect to services offered to persons injured in motor vehicle accidents. The unexpended funds appropriated in part 1 for the fund are designated as work project appropriations and, subject to subdivision (d), any unencumbered or unallotted funds shall not lapse at the end of the fiscal year and are available for expenditures for projects under this subsection until the projects have been completed. The following is in compliance with section 451a of the management and budget act, 1984 PA 431, MCL 18.1451a:

(a) The purpose of the project is to support distributions to providers experiencing systematic losses with respect to services offered to persons injured in motor vehicle accidents.

(b) The project will be accomplished by using state employees or contracts with service providers, or both.

(c) The total estimated cost of the project is $200,000,000.00.

(d) The tentative completion date is September 30, 2027. Any unexpended funds will lapse to the general fund.

(12) As used in this section:

(a) “Fund” means the post-acute auto injury provider relief fund created in this section.

(b) “Patient” means an injured person who is entitled to benefits under section 3107 of the insurance code of 1956, 1956 PA 218, MCL 500.3107.
