1) Rep. Bieda's "no vote journal explanation" by Admin003 on December 8, 2006
Rep. Bieda, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted 'no' on House Bill 6695 which would change the law of conveyances in this State. While I like the intent of HB 6695, the bill does represent a substantial change in Michigan law, and I believe that changes of this magnitude should be fully discussed and reviewed by the Judiciary Committee. This bill was not afforded that opportunity, and I think the process was seriously shortchanged because of a lack of input from the legal community. We can avoid unintended consequences from otherwise good bills when they are subjected to a more rigorous analysis. Unfortunately, this did not appear to have occurred with this particular bill."
