Messages from the Governor
The following veto message from the Governor was received and read:
Executive Office, Lansing, December 21, 2018
Michigan House of Representatives
Michigan Senate
State Capitol Building
Lansing, Michigan 48913
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Today I vetoed House Bill 4259 due to concerns with its effect on one of our constitution’s most important tenets: the separation of powers.
HB 4259 provides that, notwithstanding any other provision of law, the legislative auditor general is entitled to unrestricted access to all information, hard copy and electronic, including confidential information, in the other branches of state government. That includes access to information that is not even relevant to a particular audit request. The bill purports to absolve state employees from liability for disclosing confidential information to the auditor general and imposes upon auditor general staff the same duty of confidentiality that otherwise applies.
The legislative auditor general was created in Article IV, section 53 of the State Constitution of 1963. The auditor general is charged with conducting “post audits of financial transactions and accounts of the state and of all branches, departments, offices, boards, commissions, agencies, authorities and institutions of the state” and “performance post audits” of those entities as well. The auditor general “shall be assigned no duties other than those specified” in the Constitution.
As an accountant, I have a unique appreciation for the need for access to necessary and relevant information in order to satisfy auditing standards. But as governor, I have an important obligation to protect one of the foundational principles of our constitution—the separation of powers. Interactions among separate and co-equal branches of government should occur in a controlled environment. HB 4259 would violate the separation of those branches by giving the legislature’s agent unrestricted access into all executive functions, whether it was conducting an audit of those functions or not.
While well intentioned, HB 4259 is an unconstitutional overreach that would blur the separation between the legislative and other branches. My administration has worked hard at providing the auditor general access to relevant information while protecting privileged and confidential information, in particular when that information is sensitive or made confidential by federal law. Creating a blanket, one-size-fits-all approach to access to all information could result in inadvertent disclosures of personally identifying, protected health, or other privileged or confidential information.
What’s more, many of the state’s data management programs are complicated and require specialized understanding and experience. Giving the auditor general unrestricted access to all electronic data could unnecessarily expose private information to data security threats. The State of Michigan Security Operations Center blocks millions of unauthorized attempts to access the State network every day. Unfettered and uncontrolled access to confidential data could increase the risk of exposure by a significant margin.
I understand and appreciate the need for the auditor general to be given appropriate access to information necessary to perform his constitutional function. Perhaps more than any governor in Michigan history, I value the important role that auditors play in ensuring good government, and responsible stewardship of state resources. However, I cannot sign this bill because of its unconstitutional encroachment of the separation of our co-equal branches of government.
Sincerely,
Rick Snyder
Governor

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Today am returning House Bills 5750 and 5751 to you without signature. The bills amend the Safe Delivery of Newborns Law allow a parent to voluntarily deliver a newborn to a newborn safety device provided by an emergency service provider.
Michigan’s safe haven law has been an important and valuable policy to ensure unwanted newborn babies are not abandoned or harmed by allowing parents to surrender a child to emergency service providers. However, I do not believe it is appropriate to allow for parents to surrender a baby by simply depositing the baby into a device, rather than physically handing the baby to a uniformed police, fire, or hospital employee.
With that in mind, I have vetoed Enrolled House Bill 5750 and 5751.
Sincerely,
Rick Snyder
Governor

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Today I have vetoed House Bills 5953 and 5954. The bills amend the Public Health Code and the Michigan Penal Code respectively to reflect proposed changes in the Safe Delivery of Newborns Law contemplated by House Bills 5750 and 5751.
Because I have vetoed the proposed changes in House Bills 5750 and 5751, there is no need for changes in the Public Health Code or the Michigan Penal Code that are provided in House Bills 5953 and 5954, and therefore I do not approve.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Today I vetoed Enrolled House Bills 5230 and 5231. The bills would have amended the Michigan Public School Employees Retirement Act and the State Employee Retirement Act respectively to require the State Treasurer to offer certain annuities for active employees. Current law requires the state to offer both a fixed and variable rate annuity product to state and public school employees.
Promoters of the bills argue that active employees should have the ability to begin purchasing annuity products while they are active employees as a means to provide income certainty when they reach retirement.
As fiduciaries of the state’s retirement systems, the Treasurer, and the new State of Michigan Investment Board are responsible for the mix of retirement offerings provided to employees. I believe it is inappropriate for the Legislature, which does not have fiduciary responsibility for plan participants to legislatively decide what options are offered to employees.
With that in mind, I have vetoed Enrolled House Bill 5230 and 5231.
Sincerely,
Rick Snyder
Governor

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Today I am returning House Bills 5325 and 5720 to you without my approval. The bills would have amended the statute dealing with principal shopping districts, business improvement districts, and business improvement zones, to allow for those local economic development entities to levy special assessments against certain residential real property.
PSDs, BIDs, and BIZs perform a critical function in revitalizing our core commercial and downtown areas. One of the tools they use is levying special assessments on certain real property in order to undertake projects that benefit the relevant area.
While I appreciate the goal of expanding the properties against which special assessments can be levied, I believe this issue merits further discussion and consideration, including whether it is appropriate for residential taxpayers to be assessed in this manner. With that in mind, I am vetoing House Bills 5235 and 5720 so that the legislature and next administration can have a more thorough discussion about this issue.
Sincerely,
Rick Snyder
Governor
