Subsequent to the final adjournment of the Regular Session of the Legislature, the following messages from the Governor were received:
January 14, 2015
Senate Bill No. 211 seeks to amend section 405 of the Worker’s Disability Compensation Act (Act) to allow firefighters who meet certain conditions to enjoy a presumption against the First Responders Presumed Coverage Reimbursement Fund (First Responders Fund) that cancers of the respiratory tract, bladder, skin, brain, kidney, blood, thyroid, testicular, prostate, and lymphatic system are work-related injuries.
The First Responders Fund created by the bill will be maintained and invested by the Department of Treasury. The Director of the Workers’ Compensation Agency is responsible for the payment of claims and the administration of the First Responders Fund. The bill authorizes the State Treasurer to deposit money and other assets into the fund.
The presumption that a cancer is work-related can be rebutted through “scientific evidence” that the firefighter was a “substantial and consistent user of cigarettes or other tobacco products within the 10 years immediately preceding the date of injury, and that this use was a significant factor in the cause, aggravation, or progression of the cancer.”
We all value the important work our firefighters do each and every day. Firefighters who suffer workplace injuries, including cancer, are entitled to all of the benefits offered by our workers compensation system. Given the dangerous work our firefighters do I think a workplace cancer presumption is reasonable, and that the method for paying benefits in this bill is workable.
I am concerned, however, that the bill is incomplete. The legislature did not identify a mechanism to finance the program. As a result this bill creates a system where an important benefit would be available first-come-first-serve, and only when funds are available. The appearance of workplace cancers doesn’t respect fiscal years or appropriations cycles. The presumption should apply to all qualifying full-time firefighters, not just those whose cancers appear first and when funding is available. Our first responders deserve better.
That is why I am requesting that the legislature take up the identification of a stable, long-term funding source for the First Responders Fund in the current legislative session, preferably in 2015. Since the benefits will be expended through the Workers’ Compensation Agency, it makes sense that the legislature work with the agency to develop a funding process within the Workers Compensation Program. An example of a design that could be used is the Silicosis, Dust Disease and Logging Industry Compensation Funds established under MCL 418.501(2).
The Dust Fund is funded through assessments on all workers’ compensation carriers. The assessment rate is 175% of the prior year disbursements less net assets in excess of $200,000. Self-insured employers, both public and private, are assessed against paid indemnity and insurance companies are assessed against their premium as reported by the Compensation Advisory Organization of Michigan (CAOM). The Dust Fund reimburses all wage loss benefits to carriers that are in excess of $25,000 or 104 weeks of benefits, whichever is greater.
If additional funding is required, the legislature could look to dedicate a portion of the funding stream from the sale of fireworks found at Section 11 of the Michigan Fireworks Safety Act, being Act 256 of 2011.
With a deep respect for our state’s firefighters, gratitude to the legislature for addressing this important issue and for the work I know the legislature will do on identifying funding, I sign this bill.
January 15, 2015
Today I have signed Enrolled Senate Bill 423, which calls on the Department of Technology, Management, and Budget (DTMB) to contract for a statewide public resource allocation study.
The first subjection of the new statute added by SB 423 sets forth a number of legislative findings that purport to describe the existing law governing public education in Michigan, as interpreted by Michigan courts. These findings do not alter the existing law or establish any new substantive rules of law. Therefore, they are not binding on DTMB’s implementation of the study.
For the same reason, the legislative findings set forth in SB 423 do not change the extent or nature of the state’s constitutional obligation to provide for a system of free public education. Accordingly, the Michigan Supreme Court’s interpretation of the state’s constitutional obligation remains controlling.
Sincerely,
Rick Snyder
Governor
Veto Messages
Subsequent to the final adjournment of the Regular Session of the Legislature, the following messages from the Governor were received:
PROPERTY; LAND CONVEYANCES IN CALHOUN COUNTY
December 30, 2014
Today I am returning to you SB 1056 without signature. Senate Bill 1056 is a good bill that would clear up some newly-discovered title defects for certain properties in Calhoun County. Unfortunately, a procedural defect in the bill would prevent it from taking effect even with my signature.
Senate Bill 1056 is tie-barred to SB 52. By its own terms, SB 1056 cannot take effect “unless Senate Bill No. 52 of the 97th Legislature is enacted into law.” Because the term of the 97th Legislature has ended without the passage of SB 52, it has now become impossible for SB 1056 to take effect in its current form. Therefore, my act of signing SB 1056 would only serve to create an ineffective law.
I look forward to reconsidering a similar bill in the event that the above-noted procedural defect is cured by the 98th Legislature.
This bill was returned from the Governor on December 30, 2014, at 11:15 a.m.
NATURAL RESOURCES; HUNTING; PROHIBIT USE OF AERIAL DRONES FOR TAKING GAME
January 15, 2015
Today I am returning to you enrolled Senate Bill 927 without signature. This bill was intended to be part of a multi-bill legislative package addressing the use of unmanned aerial and submersible vehicles that may interfere with or harass another individual who is engaged in the process of lawfully taking an animal or fish. This legislative package also prohibited an individual from using unmanned aerial and submersible vehicles in the taking of game or fish.
As passed by the legislature, SB 927 is tie-barred to SB 926. While SB 927 was enrolled at the end of the last legislative session, the house did not pass SB 926. As a result, I am unable to consider SB 927 for signature as this is only one half of what was intended to be a multi-bill legislative package.
While I do support the content included in both SB 926 and SB 927, it is unfortunate that the full legislative package failed to be enrolled.
This bill was returned from the Governor on January 15, 2015, at 11:53 a.m.
NATURAL RESOURCES; WILDLIFE; DESIGNATION OF BIODIVERSITY AREA
January 15, 2015
Today I am returning to you enrolled Senate Bill 78 without signature. I believe that biodiversity is an essential component of sustainable forest management, a principle affirmed throughout this legislation.
The proposed legislation—specifically the re-definition of the conservation of biological diversity and the complete elimination of designation options—causes confusion and inconsistencies and could make it more difficult to sustainably manage Michigan’s Public forests and world class natural resources to meet the changing needs of current and future generations.
Michigan’s robust forest products industry has responded positively over the past decade to national and global demand for certified forest products. Michigan’s state forest system is the single largest source of certified wood fiber in Michigan, and our robust forest products industry has grown to rely on this steady supply. Legislation that may threaten forest certification could weaken existing industries and make Michigan less competitive in attracting additional forest products investment. I believe there is continuing support by the forest products industry to maintain certification and a clear understanding of the need to protect biodiversity. In addition, I believe that responsible state management should not result in the removal of large areas of land from forest production.
I concur that providing public access to DNR state forest lands, state parks, and wildlife areas is a critical part of our public trust responsibilities. Consideration of the economic value and contribution of these lands to state and local economies is very important to DNR land management strategies. I believe there is an opportunity to further address sustainable forest management, public access and economic considerations through the DNR Managed Public Land Strategy.
It is for these reasons that today I am returning Senate Bill 78 without signature. I respectfully request the Legislature work with the DNR in the context of the DNR Managed Public Land Strategy to strengthen our mutual commitment to prioritize access to our quality outdoor public recreational opportunities and foster regional economic prosperity while protecting our natural and cultural resources for the current and future citizens of Michigan.
This bill was returned from the Governor on January 15, 2015, at 11:53 a.m.
WEAPONS; LICENSING; ELIMINATE CONCEALED PISTOL LICENSING BOARDS
CRIMINAL PROCEDURE; UPDATE SENTENCING GUIDELINES
January 15, 2015
Today I am vetoing Enrolled Senate Bills 789 and 790, which would change Michigan’s process for issuing a license to carry a concealed pistol. While the bills include a number of reforms I support, they also include changes to the concealed pistol licensing requirements that may increase the risks of violence and intimidation faced by victims of domestic abuse who seek protection in court.
I am particularly concerned by the fact that SB 789 would allow certain persons who are the subject of a personal protection order (PPO) to obtain a concealed pistol license. Under the current law, no person who is the subject of a PPO may obtain a license to carry a concealed pistol. Senate Bill 789 would limit this restriction to apply only in those cases where the PPO also includes express language stating that the subject of the PPO is not allowed to purchase or possess a firearm.
When seeking a PPO, victims of domestic abuse may not know to ask the court for a specific restriction on the subject’s ability to purchase and possess firearms. Today, PPOs issued without this language still have the effect of preventing the subject from obtaining a concealed pistol license. Because SB 789 would remove this blanket protection in cases when the PPO fails to specifically address firearms—whatever the reason for the omission—it may increase the risks faced by victims of domestic abuse. For this reason, I have decided to veto SB 789 and 790.
I look forward to continuing to work with the legislature over the coming term to find a way to make the reforms needed to our system of concealed pistol licensing without putting domestic abuse victims at risk.
These bills were returned from the Governor on January 15, 2015, at 1:36 p.m.
TOBACCO; PROHIBIT USE OF ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES BY MINORS
TOBACCO; PROHIBIT SALE OF ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE TO MINORS
January 16, 2015
House Bill 4997, Senate Bills 667 and 668 attempt to take the first step to regulate e-cigarettes and to ensure that sales to minors are prohibited. However, the legislation does not go far enough. This legislation would exclude alternative nicotine products including electronic cigarettes from the definition of tobacco products and prohibit them from being regulated as tobacco products under Michigan law.
Electronic cigarettes are nicotine-delivery devices that resemble traditional tobacco cigarettes and share a common ingredient, which is the highly-addictive chemical nicotine that is derived from tobacco.
Michigan should not enact new state law that is not consistent with a legally-mandated approach proposed by the U.S. FDA, which is to regulate e-cigarettes as tobacco products. To do so will unnecessarily sow confusion, send a mixed health message to the public on a subject that is already complex and confusing to many and effectively conflict with the Sottera ruling issued in 2010 by the Federal Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia at the request of the e-cigarette industry itself.
House Bill 4997 and Senate Bills 667 and 668 do not ensure that e-cigarettes are regulated in the interest of public health. Enacting a separate definition for e-cigarettes would establish the principle that such products are fundamentally different from other tobacco products for purposes of any new public health measures that may be proposed in the future. For that reason, I am vetoing House Bill 4997 and Senate Bills 667 and 668.
Lastly, this legislation would go against the position taken by 40 state attorneys general including Michigan’s Attorney General Bill Schuette. They believe that the FDA should regulate e-cigarettes pursuant to its tobacco product authority.
I believe the preferred way to ensure that e-cigarettes are regulated in the interest of public health is to revise the existing definition of a tobacco product to make clear that e-cigarettes (and other novel nicotine-containing vapor products) are tobacco products subject to any restrictions generally applied to tobacco products under the Youth Tobacco Act, including the minimum age law.
Sincerely,
Rick Snyder
Governor
