April 30, 2008

(Received May 1, 2008)

In accordance with Section 22215(4) of the Public Health Code, PA 368 of 1978, as amended, I am forwarding a copy of the Michigan CON Commission’s revisions to the CON Review Standards for MRT Services/Units for your review. Listed below is the required “concise summary of the expected impact of the proposed final action.”

The proposed language changes include the following:

1. Added a definition for proton beam therapy (PBT) for purposes of Section 10.

2. Added language that provides requirements to initiate an MRT service providing proton beam therapy. The provisions include:

• The applicant shall be a single legal entity authorized to do business in Michigan.

• The applicant shall be a statewide collaborative consisting of a majority of all Michigan hospital owned MRT services with more than 30,000 equivalent treatment visits (ETVs), and more than one planning area shall be represented as a part of the collaborative. The ETVs shall be those from the list published by the Department on April 30, 2008.

• The applicant shall provide documentation of its process, policy, and procedures that allows any other interested entities to participate in the statewide collaborative and the PBT services it offers.

• The applicant shall provide an implementation plan for financing and operating the proposed PBT service which includes how physician staff privileges, patient review, patient selection, and patient care management shall be determined.

• PBT services shall be provided to adult and pediatric patients.

• The PBT service shall have simulation capabilities available for use in treatment planning.

• An MRT service shall not participate in more than one statewide collaborative to provide PVT.

• PBT services shall be exempt from certain sections of the standards.

• Additional project delivery requirements for PBT services have been included: 1) All patients treated at the approved PBT service shall be evaluated for potential enrollment in research studies focusing on the applicability and efficacy of using proton beam therapy to treat site specific cancer tumors. The reports shall be shared with the CON commission. 2) The PBT service will provide, on an annual basis, the CON Commission with reports designed to assess the affordability, quality, and accessibility of PBT services in Michigan. 3) An applicant shall be required to report to the Department, on an annual basis, volume related data for its PBT unit.

3. Updated the following project delivery requirement as shown: “All MRT treatments shall be performed ~~under the~~ ~~supervision of~~ PURSUANT TO a radiation oncologist and at least one radiation oncologist will be IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE ~~on site at the geographic location of the unit~~ during the operation of the unit(s).” Immediately available is already defined in the standards as “continuous availability of direct communication with the MRT unit in person or by radio, telephone, or telecommunication.”

4. Other technical changes.

The Commission took final action to approve the revisions at its April 30, 2008 meeting.

The law provides that the Commission is to submit any final standard to the Joint Legislative Committee on CON, as well as to the Governor, for them to consider potential disapproval of the final standards. Legislative disapproval is to be expressed by concurrent resolution, adopted by each house of the Legislature. The statute provides that the Legislature and Governor shall have 45 calendar days to act on any disapproval, provided the 45 days shall include not less than 9 legislative session days. This review period is to start on the day after submission, provided that is a day when there is legislative session in at least one house of the Legislature. If legislative or gubernatorial disapproval does not occur within that time, then this final CON Review Standards for MRT Services/Units will take effect.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 734-764-2178, or the Commission’s staff person, Brenda Rogers at 517-241-3349 or email rogersbre@michigan.gov.

2. Clarified language under Section 11, Documentation of Projections.

Substitute (S-1).

The substitute was adopted.

The concurrent resolution, as substituted, was adopted.

House Concurrent Resolution No. 86.

A concurrent resolution relative to secondary road patrol funds for cities and villages in all of Michigan’s counties.

Whereas, Section 76 of Chapter 14 of the Revised Statutes of 1846, being MCL § 51.76, as added by 1978 PA 416, permits secondary road patrol services to be provided by county sheriff departments to cities and villages. This section also provides that a secondary road patrol agreement is void if the city or village reduces the number of sworn law enforcement officers below the highest number employed at any time within the immediately preceding 36 months, unless the Michigan Legislature, by concurrent resolution, recognizes that the reduction was due to cuts in general services due to economic conditions; and

Whereas, Indeed, subsection (3) of MCL § 51.76 specifically provides, in part, that: “A concurrent resolution adopted by a majority vote of the Senate and the House of Representatives which states that the city or village is required to reduce general services because of economic conditions and is not reducing law enforcement services shall be presumptive that the city or village has not violated the strictures of this subsection”; and

Whereas, In all of Michigan’s counties, city and village general services have been reduced as a result of serious economic difficulties. These reductions in services have occurred in direct reaction to economic conditions; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That cities and villages in all of Michigan’s counties have been required to reduce general services because of economic conditions and are not reducing law enforcement services as stipulated in section 76 of Chapter 14 of the Revised Statutes of 1846, as added by 1978 PA 416; and be it further

Resolved, That cities and villages in all of Michigan’s counties have met the necessary terms of their agreements for secondary road patrol services.

The House of Representatives has adopted the concurrent resolution.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the concurrent resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations and Reform,

Senator Cropsey moved that the rule be suspended.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,

Senator Cropsey moved that the concurrent resolution be referred to the Committee on Local, Urban and State Affairs.

The motion prevailed.

Senators Anderson, Barcia, Cherry, Gleason and Pappageorge were named co‑sponsors of the concurrent resolution.

Statements

Senator Scott asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Scott’s statement is as follows:

Booker T. Washington, that well-respected scholar, spokesman, and former slave, once observed, “Character, not circumstances, makes the man”—and the woman, I might add. The current circumstances are that today the insurance industry in Michigan is broken. Rate-setting is unjust, unfair, and based on factors that have nothing to do with whether one is a good risk for individual insurance. It is a discriminatory and biased system. Those are the circumstances.

But it will take people of character to fix this broken system. It will take people of character to recognize the unfairness of mandating a product that many can ill-afford. And it will take people of character to propose solutions to this longstanding problem to make insurance affordable and accessible to everyone.

I am counting on you, my colleagues, to demonstrate your character and move my bills.
