“Our Father, Which art in heaven hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, here on earth as it already is in heaven.

Today God, we say thank You and ask for Your wisdom and guidance in this House, for these humbled servants who have committed to serving the citizens of the great state of Michigan by honoring the laws of our government to help enforce and facilitate a more peaceable union. I pray that You would protect our STATE and our land, those who fight to protect us both on the battle field and those in the court rooms or here at the table. We pray for peace, wealth, healing, prosperity and safety with wisdom for this session, our state, and Your people. We pray for the peace between Israel, Iraq, Iran and the nations. God be with us and protect us in Jesus’s name, with respect to any other religion represented here.

Amen.”

June 30, 2025

The 2024 Michigan Annual Drunk Driving Audit provides detailed information concerning traffic fatalities and injuries, as well as arrest activities that are part of ongoing efforts to reduce drunk driving in our state. Alcohol and drug-related fatal crashes remain a significant traffic safety issue, with approximately 40.7 percent of traffic crash fatalities involving alcohol and/or drugs.

The crash data displayed for each county are 2024 traffic crash statistics. The Michigan Department of State Police (MSP), Criminal Justice Information Center (CJIC), maintains the state’s central repository for all crash data collected in Michigan. The crash data is housed in the Traffic Crash Reporting System (TCRS) and the Michigan Annual Drunk Driving Audit is created using this data.

A reportable crash in Michigan is defined as: a motor vehicle that is in transport on the roadway that results in death, injury, or property damage of $1,000 or more. In addition, a crash is reported for any snowmobile or off- road vehicle with damage of $100 or more, whether on the roadway or off the roadway.

The Michigan Annual Drunk Driving Audit was compiled with information and data provided by the MSP, along with the Michigan Department of State (MDOS), and the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). We appreciate the teamwork, assistance, and dedication of each of these departments in helping to make Michigan’s roads safe. We look forward to our continued partnership. Questions regarding Section I (Traffic Crash and Arrest Data) should be directed to the MSP, CJIC, Traffic Crash Reporting Unit (TCRU) at 517-241-1699. Questions regarding Section II (Conviction Disposition Data) should be directed to the MDOS at 517-322-1598.

As you review this report, please feel free to contact the TCRU at 517-241-1699 with any suggestions and ideas.

I am pleased to present to the Michigan Legislature the 32nd annual Asset Forfeiture Report. Michigan’s asset forfeiture laws provide for the seizure of cash and property assets of drug traffickers and other criminal organizations when that property is obtained through illegal activity. The report this year is submitted under the Uniform Forfeiture Reporting Act, Public Act (PA) 148 of 2015, and the conviction requirements of PA 7 and PA 9 of 2019.

PA 148 added reporting requirements and submission of a summary to the Michigan Department of State Police of the reporting agency’s activities regarding forfeiture of property under four sections of law: Public Health Code, MCL 333.7521-MCL 333.7533 (Controlled Substances); the Identity Theft Protection Act, MCL 445.79d; Revised Judicature Act of 1961, MCL 600.4701-600.4709 (Omnibus); and Revised Judicature Act of 1961, MCL 600.3801-600.3840 (Public Nuisance). Additionally, the type of information to be reported for each seizure and forfeiture of property was expanded to provide for greater transparency regarding the government seizure of private property.

Effective August 7, 2019, a criminal conviction became required before certain property seized under the Public Health Code can be forfeited to law enforcement.

This report covers the period from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024. This is the seventh report in which all reporting agencies submitted forfeiture data based upon the calendar year. Over $9 million in cash and assets amassed by drug traffickers was forfeited. Asset forfeiture funds were utilized to support law enforcement by providing resources for equipment, personnel, vehicles, training, and supplies. Assets seized pursuant to this program also allowed some agencies to contribute monies to non-profit organizations that assist in obtaining information from citizens for solving crimes.

I submit this report for your information and review.

Michigan Department of State Police

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Farhat and Wegela offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 140.

A resolution to urge the United States Congress and the President of the United States to take all appropriate diplomatic steps to de-escalate violence and avoid further military conflict in the Middle East involving Iran and Israel.

Whereas, The Constitution of the United States grants Congress the sole authority to declare war, and any engagement of U.S. forces in armed conflict must be approached with the utmost caution, transparency, and respect for constitutional process. The American people have consistently expressed concern about entanglements in overseas conflicts, particularly in the Middle East, and support efforts to resolve disputes through diplomacy, rather than military escalation; and

Whereas, Escalation of military conflict with Iran and Israel could result in devastating loss of life, economic disruption, and increased instability in neighboring countries, including harm to civilians, refugees, and minority communities already facing hardship. Diplomatic engagement, de-escalation, and multilateral cooperation are essential to preserving global peace, protecting American lives and interests, and upholding international norms; and

Whereas, Congress must assert congressional authority to prevent the escalations in violence involving Iran and Israel which risk widespread humanitarian consequences, disruption of global energy markets, and potential entanglement of U.S. military forces in prolonged conflict; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we call on the United States Congress and the President of the United States to prioritize diplomatic channels, international engagement, conflict prevention, and a permanent ceasefire in responding to the current crisis involving Iran and Israel; and be it further

Resolved, That we urge all federal officials to exercise restraint, engage international allies and institutions in constructive dialogue, and avoid unnecessary or unauthorized military action; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the United States Secretary of State, the United States Secretary of Defense, the Majority and Minority Leaders of the United States Senate, the Speaker and Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to Committee on Government Operations.

Rep. BeGole moved that Rule 71 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.

Reps. Brenda Carter, Fitzgerald, Paiz and Weiss offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 141.

A resolution to declare July 1, 2025, as Invisible Wounds Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, When a traumatic event occurs, psychological injuries can linger longer than the initial moment of crisis. Most people wouldn’t know just by looking, but the effects are there through symptoms like flashbacks, avoidance, and sleepless nights; and

Whereas, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a well-documented mental health condition that can develop after traumatic experiences like war, abuse, and serious accidents. PTSD is one of the most recognized responses to trauma affecting both civilians and those who have served in the military, but that doesn’t mean that people always understand it; and

Whereas, Studies estimate that six out of every one hundred adults in the United States will experience PTSD in their lifetime, with the condition appearing slightly more often among veterans than civilians; and

Whereas, While PTSD may be invisible to the eye, its symptoms, such as hypervigilance, intrusive memories, and emotional numbness, have the ability to impact every aspect of a person’s life, from their relationships to their employment and beyond; and

Whereas, The pain and isolation of PTSD are compounded by the stigma that too often surrounds mental health struggles, leaving many individuals feeling misunderstood, ashamed, or alone; and

Whereas, Fortunately, there are a range of effective treatments that exist for those suffering from PTSD. Behavioral therapies help individuals develop coping tools, where cognitive therapies aim to reframe negative thought patterns. In some cases, medication can also be used to manage symptoms and support recovery. While these treatments don’t always work the same for everyone, they’ve made a difference for many; and

Whereas, Invisible Wounds Day is an opportunity to shine a light on these hidden injuries, validate the experiences of those affected, and serve as a reminder to our communities that healing is possible with understanding and support; and

Whereas, We honor the courage of those who live with PTSD, and we extend our deepest gratitude to the professionals, caregivers, and advocates who walk beside them; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare July 1, 2025, as Invisible Wounds Day in the state of Michigan. Let us commit to listening without judgment, speaking with compassion, and working to ensure that no one bears these wounds alone.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The report shall include all of the following:

(a) A brief assessment of the overall effectiveness of the research and development tax credits created under sections 677 and 717. The department may use the applicable provisions of the economic development incentive evaluation prepared under the economic development incentive evaluation act, 2018 PA 540, MCL 18.1751 to 18.1759, to satisfy this subdivision.

(b) The number of authorized businesses filing tentative claims for a research and development tax credit for the immediately preceding calendar year.

The credits created under sections 677 and 717 are available for tax years beginning on and after January 1, 2025. Claimants under section 677 (Corporate Income Tax [CIT] credit) will first claim the credit on their 2025 CIT returns, filed in 2026, while claimants under section 717 (withholding tax credit) will first claim the credit on their 2026 withholding tax returns, filed in 2027. Tentative claims for both claimants are first due by April 1, 2026.
