Michigan has long been a leader in the automotive industry, and it is crucial that we maintain this leadership as the industry explores new forms of mobility and electrification. The future of mobility offers significant opportunities for economic development, job creation, and environmental stewardship, and we must seize these opportunities through prudent and strategic actions.

Representative Outman has consistently demonstrated a proactive approach to transportation and infrastructure issues as the Minority Vice Chair of the House Transportation, Mobility, and Infrastructure committee throughout his tenure in the Michigan House of Representatives. His approach to problem-solving and his willingness to engage with diverse stakeholders will be invaluable as Michigan navigates the challenges and opportunities presented by advancements in mobility and electrification.

Representative Outman will be an exemplary addition to this Council, and I am looking forward to the fresh perspective he will bring.

Sincerely,

Matt Hall

House Republican Leader

(Filed with the Secretary of State on July 23, 2024, at 4:30 p.m.)

The following message from the Governor was received July 18, 2024 and read:

EXECUTIVE ORDER

No. 2024-5

Department of Agriculture and Rural Development; Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; Department of Health and Human Services; Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity; Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs; Department of Technology, Management, and Budget; Department of Transportation; and Department of Treasury

Executive Reorganization

During my time in office, I have demonstrated my commitment to cutting red tape and streamlining government. I have signed legislation that makes it easier for Michigan families to transfer assets when a family member has passed. I have worked with our legislature to remove inefficient, duplicative steps in agencies’ rules review processes. And I have done away with ranking systems that hobbled our schools. Now, I am turning my attention to Michigan’s boards, councils, commissions, and committees.

Michigan boasts over 250 of these boards, which are made up of over 2,300 appointees. From our many agricultural commodities boards, to our professional licensing boards, to our cultural and ethnic advocacy commissions, the myriad of interests, industries, and perspectives that make Michigan a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family are represented across our state boards and commissions.

But some of these boards no longer serve their original purposes. Some were created with specific mandates that have been met or exceeded. Others have changed scope in ways that no longer align with practical realities, the current state of issues, or our current understanding of technology. Still others are duplicative of other boards, which can create both redundancies and conflicts. More were created with a focus on specific perspectives through a number of designated seats that no longer accurately represent the field of view or serve the interest of the council or committee.

In the interest of good government, I am proactively correcting these issues, including the rightsizing of boards and commissions, the adjustment of seat designations and, in some cases, the modification or abolishment of certain committees and councils. In doing so, I am cutting red tape and taking action to ensure governmental power rests where it ought, and that Michigan’s government works for Michiganders.

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

Section 2 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 empowers the governor to make changes in the organization of the executive branch of state government or in the assignment of functions among its units that are necessary for efficient administration.

Certain changes to several state boards, commissions, and councils are needed. These changes will ensure the efficient administration and effectiveness of government.

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

1. General Provisions

(a) Enforceability. This Order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party.

(b) Severability. The provisions of this Order are severable, and if any provision, or portion thereof, is held unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such unconstitutionality or invalidity does not affect the remaining provisions, which remain in force.

(4) The director of any department receiving a transfer under this Order shall administer the functions and responsibilities transferred to the department receiving a transfer under this Order in such ways as to promote efficient administration and may make internal organizational changes as administratively necessary to complete the realignment of responsibilities under this Order.

The director of a department with implementation responsibilities under this Order may request the assistance of other state departments, agencies, and officers with respect to personnel, budgeting, procurement, telecommunications, information systems, legal services, and other management-related functions, and the departments, agencies, and officers shall provide that assistance.

(6) The State Budget Director shall determine and authorize the most efficient manner possible for handling financial transactions and records in this state’s financial management system necessary to implement this Order.

The following communications from the Department of State Police were received and read:

June 28, 2024

I am pleased to present to the Michigan Legislature the 31st annual Asset Forfeiture Report. Michigan’s asset forfeiture laws provide for the seizure of cash and property assets of drug traffickers and other criminal organizations when that property is obtained through illegal activity. The report this year is submitted under the Uniform Forfeiture Reporting Act, Public Act (PA) 148 of 2015, and the conviction requirements of PA 7 and PA 9 of 2019.

PA 148 added reporting requirements and submission of a summary to the Michigan Department of State Police of the reporting agency’s activities regarding forfeiture of property under four sections of law: Public Health Code, MCL 333.7521-MCL 333.7533 (Controlled Substances); the Identity Theft Protection Act, MCL 445.79d; Revised Judicature Act of 1961, MCL 600.4701-600.4709 (Omnibus); and Revised Judicature Act of 1961, MCL 600.3801-600.3840 (Public Nuisance). Additionally, the type of information to be reported for each seizure and forfeiture of property was expanded to provide for greater transparency regarding the government seizure of private property.

Effective August 7, 2019, a criminal conviction became required before certain property seized under the Public Health Code can be forfeited to law enforcement.

This report covers the period from January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023. This is the sixth report in which all reporting agencies submitted forfeiture data based upon the calendar year. Almost $9.4 million in cash and assets amassed by drug traffickers was forfeited. Asset forfeiture funds were utilized to support law enforcement by providing resources for equipment, personnel, vehicles, training, and supplies. Assets seized pursuant to this program also allowed some agencies to contribute monies to non-profit organizations that assist in obtaining information from citizens for solving crimes.

I submit this report for your information and review.

July 1, 2024

The 2023 Michigan Annual Drunk Driving Audit provides detailed information concerning traffic fatalities and injuries, as well as arrest activities that are part of ongoing efforts to reduce drunk driving in our state. Alcohol and drug-related fatal crashes remain a significant traffic safety issue, with approximately 40.6 percent of the total fatal crashes involving alcohol and/or drugs.

The crash data displayed for each county are 2023 traffic crash statistics. The Michigan Department of State Police (MSP), Criminal Justice Information Center (CJIC), maintains the state’s central repository for all crash data collected in Michigan. The crash data is housed in the Traffic Crash Reporting System (TCRS) and the Michigan Annual Drunk Driving Audit is created using this data.

A reportable crash in Michigan is defined as: a motor vehicle that is in transport on the roadway that results in death, injury, or property damage of $1,000 or more. In addition, a crash is reported for any snowmobile or off-road vehicle with damage of $100 or more, whether on the roadway or off the roadway.

The Michigan Annual Drunk Driving Audit was compiled with information and data provided by the MSP, along with the Michigan Department of State (MDOS), and the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). We appreciate the teamwork, assistance, and dedication of each of these departments in helping to make Michigan’s roads safe. We look forward to our continued partnership. Questions regarding Section I (Traffic Crash and Arrest Data) should be directed to the MSP, CJIC, Traffic Crash Reporting Unit (TCRU) at 517-241-1699. Questions regarding Section II (Conviction Disposition Data) should be directed to the MDOS at 517-322-1598.

As you review this report, please feel free to contact the TCRU at 517-241-1699 with any suggestions and ideas.
