they couldn’t make money with
the reduced rates.
Democrats
would
like
to address the nondriving-
related
factors,
including
zip codes, credit scores and
education attainment, which
disproportionately
affect
urban drivers. House Minority
Leader Sam Singh, D-East
Lansing, voted no on the
legislation, along with 41 other
Democrats.
“We have a plan that brings
down costs and doesn’t force
people into bankruptcy,” Singh
told the Free Press. “I am
committed to coming back next
week and taking a look at the
bills that are still in committee
and making sure they get a fair
hearing.”
HB 5207 – 5214: This set
of bills addresses elections,
including
ballots
and
petitions, through amending
the repealing parts of the
Michigan Election Law, act 116
of 1954.
The bills address several
aspects
of
petitioning,
including allowing the removal
of a name and signature from
a ballot question or recall
question,
banning
anyone
that has been convicted of an
election crime from collecting
petition
signatures
and
requiring petition circulators
be paid per hour and not on
commission.
The bills were put forth by
Robert Kosowski, D-Westland,
following
another
election
bill from the Senate being
approved in the House earlier
this week. The bill, HB 5012,
make election recounts much
more expensive for those that
request them.
Jim Lilly, R-Park Township,
proposed the bill, which was
prompted
by
the
recount
requested by Jill Stein, Green
Party presidential candidate
during the 2016 presidential
election.
“Jill Stein exploited our state
laws to force a recount, even
though she lost by more than
2 million votes,” Lilly said in a
press release. “My legislation
eliminates
the
ambiguity
in the law that allowed her
recount charade to temporarily
obstruct the election process
and cause an expensive legal
battle.”
Under this bill, recounts
would
cost
double
for
candidates who have little
to no chance of winning. In
the 2016 election, Stein only
received 1 percent of all the
votes casted in Michigan.
HB 5203 – 5206: These bills
would make it more difficult to
prosecute juveniles for certain
sex crimes, through amending
the Michigan Penal Code, act
328 of 1931.
Robert
Kosowski,
D-Westland, proposed the bill
that will change the age that
someone can be charged for
prostitution
to
18-years-old
from 16-years-old.
The bills come on the heels
of news of several Federal
Bureau of Investigation
stings
in
Michigan
to
arrest
suspected
pimps
and rescue sex-trafficked
juveniles,
including
in
mid-October, August and
November of last year.
HB
5184:
This
bill
would raise the fine for
a false report to police
from $2,000 to $4,000, not
amending the possibility of
four years of imprisonment
in addition to the fine.
Kosowski, proposed the
bill earlier last week. This
past year, at the University
of Michigan and in the
surrounding areas, there
have been numerous false
reports made to police.
Most recently, the Ann
Arbor Police Department
declared an armed robbery
near campus to be false
in early September. Last
December, the AAPD said
an alleged hate crime in
which a man told a woman
to take off her hijab or he
would light her on fire, did
not occur.
