AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION FOUNDATION’S 2017 Ratings of Michigan

Dear Fellow Conservative,

The American Conservative Union Foundation is proud to present our ratings of the 2017 meeting of the Michigan Legislature. Like our Congressional Ratings, which date back 46 years, these ratings are meant to reflect how elected officials view the role of government in an individual’s life. We begin with our philosophy (conservatism is the political philosophy that sovereignty resides in the person) and then apply our understanding of government (its essential role is to defend life, liberty and property).

Because our ratings are designed to educate the public about how consistently their elected officials adhere to conservatism, we carefully examine the entire docket of legislation introduced in each state every year. We select the most meaningful bills and publish the results after the dust has settled. The ACU Foundation is the only organization to score over 8,000 elected officials each year, including lawmakers from all 50 states and Congress.

The 2016 election dramatically impacted the political landscape of not only Washington but state legislative chambers all across the country. Republicans now have control of both legislative chambers in 32 states, more than double the number they controlled in 2010. With these victories comes an ability to implement policies that restore individual liberty and return us to a limited form of government run by and for “We the People.”

It is our hope that these ratings will serve as a guide showing who can be relied on to fight for conservative principles and restore the role of government to what our nation’s founding fathers envisioned.

Sincerely,

Matt SchlappChairmanAmerican Conservative Union

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

SELECTING THE VOTES

ACU researched and selected a range of bills before the Michigan Legislature that determine a member’s adherence to conservative principles. We selected bills that focus on Ronald Reagan’s philosophy of the “three-legged stool”: 1) fiscal and economic: taxes, budgets, regulation, spending, healthcare, and property; 2) social and cultural: 2nd amendment, religion, life, welfare, and education; and 3) government integrity: voting, individual liberty, privacy, and transparency. This wide range of issues are designed to give citizens an accurate assessment that conveys which of Michigan’s elected leaders best defend the principles of a free society: Life, Liberty and Property.

1. SB 129 Reducing Regulations on Small Copper Mines. This bill eases regulatory burdens on small mining companies that harvest Michigan copper by making technical changes that streamline the process, while maintaining environmental protections. Expanding entrepreneurship promotes economic growth, which leads to greater family prosperity, as illustrated by the ACU Foundation’s Family Prosperity Index. ACU supports commonsense regulatory reform and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on March 9, 2017 by a vote of 24-11.

2. SB 9 Permitting Faith-Based Non-Profits to Provide Inmate Reentry Services. This bill permits faith-based non-profit and community organizations to apply to be registered with the Department of Corrections for the purpose of providing inmate reentry services. All organizations registering must meet certain criteria and the state may not endorse, sponsor or require an inmate to participate in a faith-based program. ACU Foundation’s Center for Criminal Justice Reform is a leading voice on this issue, and pursues policies that cut crime, reduce the size and scope of government and responsibly reduce incarceration rates. ACU believes faith-based non-profits provide crucial services that help rehabilitate inmates and reduce recidivism and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on March 9, 2017 by a vote of 28-7.

3. SB 245 Legalizing Switchblade Knives. This bill allows the sale of knives that use a spring to activate, also known as “switchblade knives.” ACU supports the repeal of these 1950s laws that have no relevance today and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on April 19, 2017 by a vote of 36-1.

4. HB 4215 Allowing Vehicles to Run Unattended on Private Property. This bill repeals an administrative rule that prohibits leaving a vehicle unattended on private property while the engine is running. ACU believes people should be able to warm up their cars on their property without government interference and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on June 13, 2017 by a vote of 30-6.

5. SB 401 Reforming the Public School Pension System. This bill replaces the current school pension system that now has $29 billion in unfunded liabilities for new employees after February 1, 2018 with a plan that requires a 50-50 cost share between employer and employee and closes the plan to new employees if the plan becomes fiscally unsound. ACU supports reforming state pension systems that have created hundreds of billions of dollars in unfunded liability across the country and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on June 15, 2017 by a vote of 21-17.

6. HB 4323 Holding the Line on Spending. This Omnibus Budget Bill for Fiscal Year 2018 includes no new taxes and holds increased spending under the rate of inflation. ACU supports this fiscally responsible approach and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on June 22, 2017 by a vote of 26-11.

7. SB 242 Allowing Some Chosen Businesses to Keep Employee Withholding Taxes. This bill creates a new $200 million program that allows certain businesses to keep the taxes withheld from their employees instead of turning it over to the government if they meet a complex set of criteria that includes creating new jobs above a certain wage level. ACU opposes this subsidy scheme that takes part of employees’ wages under false pretenses and disadvantages those businesses not favored by the government and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on July 12, 2017 by a vote of 29-5.

8. SB 335 Reforming Michigan’s Campaign Finance Law. This bill authorizes unlimited spending by independent expenditure committees, sometimes referred to as “Super PACs,” which advocate for a candidate or ballot initiative, but do not contribute to or coordinate with such candidate. ACU supports these reforms that expand political speech and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on September 14, 2017 by a vote of 23-12.

9. SB 375 Expanding the PACE Program That Puts Taxpayer Funds at Risk. This bill adds another renewable energy product, the anaerobic digester, to the list of eligible products for financing under the PACE program. The digester uses microorganisms to produce biomass. ACU opposes the PACE program—through which the government finances renewable energy and energy-efficient systems in homes and is paid back over a period of time, leaving the taxpayer on the hook in cases of foreclosure or abandonment—and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on October 3, 2017 by a vote of 36-0.

10. HB 4654 Reducing Occupational License and Permit Requirements. This bill eliminates the need for a government permit to install business monitoring systems for security, other than a fire alarm. Home systems are already exempt from these permits. ACU opposes the proliferation of license requirements that are primarily designed to reduce competition and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on October 4, 2017 by a vote of 36-0.

11. SB 574 Giving Tax Equity to Charter Schools. This bill makes charter schools eligible for a portion of funds from any future regional enhancement property tax levied by an Intermediate School District. ACU supports strengthening school choice and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on October 18, 2017 by a vote of 23-14.

12. HB 4166 Repealing Hiring Preferences for Special Education Programs. This bill repeals a law that requires special education programs to give a hiring preference to any former public school official who was laid off, regardless of that former official’s experience relating to the position to be filled. ACU believes that only the best qualified should be hired for these positions and does not think those who are fired should be given preference in the hiring process and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on November 1, 2017 by a vote of 25-9.

13. SB 366 Creating a Provisional Concealed Carry Permit. This bill creates a provisional concealed carry permit for those between the ages of 18 and 21. The permit will automatically expire when the holder turns 21. ACU believes those who are old enough to join the armed forces are old enough to participate in the concealed carry program and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on November 8, 20167 by a vote of 26-11.

14. SB 544 Allowing Tax Deductions for Contributions to School Activities. This bill creates an education savings account program that allows for tax-deductible contributions to an account that will pay for public school extracurricular activities, vocational programs and other services not required by law. ACU supports this innovative program that does not require increased taxes to support more programs and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on December 5, 2017 by a vote of 23-14, but the companion bill to authorize the actual tax deductions never came to a vote.

15. HB 4207 Authorizing State Subsidies to Some Grocery Stores. This bill authorizes about $2 million in subsidies to grocery stores that agree to locate in select development regions. ACU believes the government should not interfere in the free market, nor be in the grocery business, and that the best way to expand entrepreneurship and attract businesses is to reduce regulations and taxes for all companies and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on December 13, 2017 by a vote of 33-4.
