We ask, heavenly Father, that You would bless and lead them so that in their deliberations and decisions, the work they bring forth would be pleasing in Your sight and serve the great benefit and welfare of the people of their districts. We ask that You would be with and strengthen them.

Be with all who travel during this time, especially over this holiday weekend as we celebrate the resurrection of Your Son. Safeguard them and let them rejoice in the gifts which You have given them, especially that gift of Your Son.

Hear us, heavenly Father, for we pray in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, our risen Savior. Amen.

Messages from the Governor

 

 

The following message from the Governor was received on April 11, 2019, and read:

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER

No. 2019-10

 

Michigan Joint Task Force on Jail and Pretrial Incarceration

 

Little statewide data exist to account for who is booked into local jails, how long they stay, and why. National sources show Michigan jail populations tripling in the last 35 years. With crime now at a 50-year low, hundreds of thousands are still admitted to Michigan jails every year, and people are staying in jail longer on average than before. Furthermore, roughly half of the people held in Michigan’s jails on any given day have not been convicted of a crime and are constitutionally presumed innocent as they await trial.

A significant portion of county budgets in Michigan go to justice-system costs. Growth in jail populations has stretched county resources, leaving less for investment in treatment services, crime prevention, victim services, economic development, and other local priorities.

Local justice-system decisions, ranging from arrest and pretrial release to case processing, diversion, and jail sentences versus community-based alternatives, are shaped and influenced in part by state-level laws, policies, and budgetary decisions.

An emerging and fast-developing body of research offers useful guidance about what does and does not work to prevent and deter crime, protect victims, ensure court appearance and pretrial safety, and reduce recidivism.

Jurisdictions across the country have generated innovative models for justice-system reform that could inform policy discussions or be adapted to improve system outcomes in Michigan.

The elected leaders of this state are committed to good government, transparency, responsible spending of taxpayer resources, and to the constitutional guarantees of liberty, due process, and equal protection of the laws.

Moreover, the elected leaders of this state have a strong interest in easing the burden on county budgets, taxpayers, and citizens by ensuring jail beds are used in targeted ways that promote public safety and economic stability.

A joint task force to evaluate justice systems in Michigan and to craft recommendations for statewide policy and budgetary changes grounded in data, research, and fundamental constitutional principles, will assist the state in increasing justice-system efficiency and effectiveness and in becoming a national leader in justice-system reform. This task force will exist as a partnership between county and state leaders, as well as other leaders involved in the criminal justice system.

Section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the State of Michigan in the governor.

Section 4 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 authorizes the establishment of temporary commissions or agencies for special purposes.

Acting pursuant to the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:

Senate Resolution No. 36.

A resolution to designate May 2019 as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month.

Whereas, Michigan has 243,483 registered motorcycles and 503,110 individuals who have operator licenses with a motorcycle endorsement; and

Whereas, The safe operation of a motorcycle requires the use of special skills developed through a combination of training and expertise, the use of good judgment, plus a thorough knowledge of traffic laws and licensing requirements; and

Whereas, The use of proper protective riding apparel is an important part of a motorcycle operator’s responsibility; and

Whereas, Motorcycle safety awareness advocacy is a cooperative effort to decrease the number of injuries and fatalities associated with motorcycling; and

Whereas, The promotion of motorcycle rider education programs available through the Michigan Department of State, including recommendations that motorcycle operators wear the proper gear, in addition to driving their vehicles defensively and cautiously, is intended to reduce the number of crashes; and

Whereas, The emergence of spring is synonymous with the return of motorcycle enthusiasts to our state’s roadways. Throughout Michigan, motorcyclists have been on the cutting edge of supporting the wise and sensible use of this enjoyable mode of travel; and

Whereas, Indeed, the disproportionate number of motorcycle fatalities make it vitally important to encourage motorcyclists to understand and practice the highest degree of safety. It is also important to remind other drivers that highway safety is beneficial to all parties traveling on public roadways; and

Whereas, Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month encourages motorcycle operators to don proper protective riding attire, maintain their motorcycles using safety and maintenance checks found in the owner’s manual, abide by the laws of the road, and implement operating techniques providing an additional standard of safety; and

Whereas, Car and truck drivers are informed of the fact that motorcyclists are resuming their travels on our public roadways and each is advised to be exceptionally vigilant and watchful when approaching or passing a motorcycle on the highway; now, therefore be it

Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body designate May 2019 as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We encourage all of Michigan’s citizens to participate in the aims and goals of this effort.

Senate Resolution No. 37.

A resolution to recognize April 18, 2019, as Lineworker Appreciation Day.

Whereas, The lineworker profession has existed for as long as electricity has been a standard part of modern living; and

Whereas, There are over 115,000 highly trained and skilled lineworkers in the United States, servicing 9 million miles of wire; and

Whereas, Lineworkers work under dangerous conditions in order to construct and maintain the energy infrastructure of the United States; and

Whereas, These workers are often the first responders during catastrophic events, making sure the scene is safe, while also working around the clock to restore power after a storm emergency; and

Whereas, Lineworkers readily respond to disaster recovery needs anywhere in the country through mutual assistance agreements; and

Whereas, Working in and around roadways is often required by men and women who repair and maintain electric lines which presents a daily danger; and

Whereas, The Michigan Legislature has passed several public acts to require drivers to drive safely in workzones and provide penalties for those who do not respect these workzones; and

Whereas, It is important for our state to recognize and express our appreciation to these brave and dedicated men and women who put their lives at risk to ensure the safe and reliable delivery of power to our communities; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body recognize April 18, 2019, as Lineworker Appreciation Day.
