Vote Explanations

Wednesday, January 17, 2024

I voted YES on HB 4845 (Rep. Bruck) Designates a portion of highway M-125 in Monroe County as the “Captain Joseph M. Liedel Memorial Highway”. EXPLANATION: Expenses associated with the naming are paid for by the individuals requesting the designation. This bill designated a portion of M-125 as the “Captain Joseph M. Liedel Memorial Highway” for his selfless response to tens of thousands of incidents in Monroe County along with other Monroe firefighters, his assistance at Ground Zero following 9/11 and his honorable 30 years of service.

PASSED 104-0

I voted NO on SB 227 (Sen. Lauwers) Would require that emergency safety intervention through physical management in child caring institutions comply with standards under the Mental Health Code and any associated administrative rules. EXPLANATION: Requiring child caring institutions to comply with the mental health code and any associated administrative rules is government overreach.

FAILED 52-52
