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.
