Senator Anderson, under his constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against the passage of Senate Bill Nos. 614 and 615 and moved that the statement he made during the discussion of the bill be printed as his reasons for voting “no.”
The motion prevailed.
Senator Anderson’s statement is as follows:
I supported the first two bills in this package of bills because I do support efforts to eliminate or reduce fraud. But this most recent bill and the next bill will cause Michigan to be out of compliance with federal law. I have serious reservations about both of these bills. That is why I will be voting “no” on the next bill.
