Messages from the Governor
The following message from the Governor was received on June 3, 2016, and read:
EXECUTIVE ORDER
No. 2016-12
Amendment of Executive Order No. 2016-10
WHEREAS, Section 1 of Article V of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the state of Michigan in the Governor; and
WHEREAS, under Section 4 of 1982 PA 191, MCL 10.84, during a declared State of Energy Emergency the Governor may by executive order suspend a statute, order, rule of a state agency, or specific provision of a statute, order, or rule if strict compliance with the statute, order, rule, or a specific provision of the statute, order, or rule will prevent, hinder, or delay necessary action in coping with an energy emergency; and
WHEREAS, in EO 2016-10, a State of Energy Emergency was declared; and long wait times at terminals and difficulties locating supply persist; and
WHEREAS, the West Shore pipeline, which transports refined petroleum products from Milwaukee to Green Bay, Wisconsin, continues to be out of service without a known in-service date. This shutdown continues to impact regional supply, notably the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Cheboygan County, which receive products from Wisconsin terminals via truck and barge, respectively. The loss of supply from the pipeline continues to result in longer driving distances, wait times, and working hours for gasoline and other motor fuels transporters, causing drivers to reach maximum weekly driving and on-duty limits more quickly than normal; and,
WHEREAS, production of gasoline and diesel fuel has restarted at the Marathon Refinery following a temporary shutdown, however, it is expected to take approximately a week for inventories to rebuild to levels necessary to supply all customers that typically depend on the refinery for supply; and
WHEREAS, appropriate measures must be taken in Michigan to ensure that fuel supplies will remain sufficient and to assure the health, safety, and welfare of Michigan residents and visitors;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Richard D. Snyder, Governor of the state of Michigan, by virtue of the power and authority vested in the Governor by the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, order the following:
1. Executive Order 2016-10 is amended to extend the duration of the energy emergency. This order applies to the entire state of Michigan through June 13, 2016, and for the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Cheboygan County through June 22, 2016. This Order is effective upon filing and remains in effect until it is rescinded or 11:59:59 p.m. EDT, June 22 2016, whichever first occurs.
2. Copies of this amendment as well as Executive Order 2016-10 should be carried by all drivers relying on this order.
[SEAL] Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the State of Michigan this 3rd day of June, in the Year of Our Lord, Two Thousand and Sixteen.
Richard D. Snyder
Governor
By the Governor:
Ruth A. Johnson
Secretary of State
The executive order was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
The following message from the Governor was received and read:
NATURAL RESOURCES; GREAT LAKES; WAIVE PAYMENT
FOR OCCUPYING WATERS OR BOTTOMLANDS
June 6, 2016
Today I am returning Enrolled Senate Bill 363, without signature. SB 363 would reduce permit fees for noncommercial residential harbors on the Great Lakes. The bottomlands of the Great Lakes are held in trust for all Michiganders to enjoy. Any change that allows for their private, exclusive use needs careful consideration. While I support ensuring permitting fees are reasonable, the bill moves beyond the original intent of addressing single family residential harbors permit fees with overly broad language that creates additional problems and uncertainty.
I am particularly concerned that the fees reduced by the bill will adversely impact the Department of Environmental Quality’s (DEQ) ability to process permits in the timely manner that we have come to expect. There is no corresponding benefit to offset those issues.
I support the efforts of this legislation to address what some consider excessive fees for single family residential harbors, and have asked the MDEQ to review their fee schedule for this specific type of use, and recommend to me and the legislature the appropriate changes.
I look forward to working with the DEQ and the Sponsor to address the discrete issue this legislation was originally intended to solve.
Sincerely,
Rick Snyder
Governor

Office of the Senate Majority Leader
June 7, 2016
I would like House Bills 5693, 5694, and 5695 re-referred to the Senate Committee on Judiciary.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Statements
A moment of silence was observed in memory of Muhammad Ali, three-time heavyweight boxing champion of the world.
Senator Hood asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Hood’s statement is as follows:
I would like to echo the comments of the good Senator from the 2nd District. I would like to add that once Muhammad Ali was asked how he would like to be remembered, he said the following: “I would like to be remembered as a man who won the heavyweight championship three times, who was humorous, and who treated everyone equally.”
He was a man who never looked down on those who looked up to him and who helped as many people as he could. He wanted to be remembered as a man who stood up for his beliefs no matter what and as a man who tried to unite all humankind through faith and love. If all that is too much, then he said that he would settle for being remembered only as a great boxer who became a leader and champion for his people. He also said that he wouldn’t even mind if folks forgot how pretty he was—that sounds like a pretty good memorial to me.
I say today, rest in power Muhammad Ali; rest in peace, Champ. I know on June 4 when he passed away and when he arrived in heaven, everyone in heaven shouted “Here comes the Champ.” Thank you, Muhammad Ali, for all that you have given to all of us as a leader who stood up for what he believed in. Whether or not you believed in his beliefs, he stood strong in his convictions.
Thank you to the Senator from the 2nd District for requesting a moment of silence. We must remember to stand up for what we believe in and stand up for mankind.
