Michigan law was written to protect officers who do the right thing and tell the truth, but a misguided court ruling put a blanket protection on officers who also lie during internal investigations. This legislation restores accountability. As Americans, we demand that our civil servants be truthful and do what is right. Bad actors should not be protected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Empowering the MI Attorney General to Investigate Crimes Committed by Police&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/legislature.mi.gov\/doc.aspx?2021-SB-0668\">Senate Bill 668<\/a>&nbsp;allows the attorney general to appoint a special prosecuting attorney to investigate crimes committed by a law enforcement officer. If a county prosecutor determines that a law enforcement officer committed a crime or used excessive force that violated an individual\u2019s civil rights they can notify the attorney general who will then either appoint a special prosecutor or choose an agency to investigate the allegations of excessive force.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Protecting Juvenile Informants&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/legislature.mi.gov\/doc.aspx?2021-SB-0669\">Senate Bill 669<\/a>&nbsp;prohibits police agencies from using under-18 informants without parental\/guardian permission. This legislation would also give parents\/guardians the right to a court order to stop a violation. Not requiring law enforcement to inform parents of this is a serious gap in our laws. Many times juvenile informants are sent into situations that may be dangerous or life threatening, or can potentially harm the child\u2019s mental health. I introduced this legislation because of the heartbreaking story of Shelly Hilliard, a Detroit native, who was gruesomely murdered after being convinced to become an informant and helping police arrest a drug dealer.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can read my full press release on this legislation&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/senatedems.com\/irwin\/news\/2021\/09\/30\/sen-irwin-introduces-bill-to-require-parental-approval-for-juvenile-informants\/\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Empowering MCOLES to Revoke Police Licenses<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/legislature.mi.gov\/doc.aspx?2021-SB-0670\">Senate Bill 670<\/a>&nbsp;strengthens the authority of Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES) allowing the commission to revoke police licenses if an officer is convicted of a misdemeanor. Currently, the commission can only revoke a license if an officer is convicted of serious felonies. Many times, officers will plead to lesser charges resulting in MCOLES not being able to revoke their license. If a police officer pleads guilty to lesser charges that does not mean that the crimes committed were not serious enough to warrant an officer losing their license. MCOLES should have the power to revoke their licenses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fighting Against Voter Suppression Legislation&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week, the Republican-controlled Senate passed Senate Bills&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/legislature.mi.gov\/doc.aspx?2021-SB-0303\">303<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/legislature.mi.gov\/doc.aspx?2021-SB-0304\">304<\/a>, which will create additional barriers to voting in Michigan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I voted NO on these bills because we already have voter ID laws in Michigan. Adding additional hurdles will make it more difficult for our seniors, disabled persons, students, immigrants, and anyone who doesn\u2019t drive to vote. And when you make it more difficult for them, you are making it more difficult for anyone living in urban areas with busy precincts. Because when someone who might not have an ID gets to the front of the line, there will be a disagreement about whether or not their vote will count, holding up everyone else in line. It means longer lines in communities like Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Flint. But, unfortunately, that is exactly what this legislation is designed to do. Make it harder to vote, make longer lines, and discourage people from voting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What our legislature should be doing is focusing on guaranteeing equal access to the polls. When people in one community have to wait four hours to vote, and people in another can walk in and out in 10 minutes, that is not equal access. We should be fixing this, not making it worse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UPCOMING COFFEE\u202fHOUR ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16 AT 11 AM\u202f&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join me at\u202fmy\u202fupcoming\u202fvirtual\u202fcoffee hour\u202fon\u202f<strong>Saturday, October 16th\u202fat 11:00 a.m.<\/strong>\u202fon\u202fZoom or Facebook Live.\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/senatedems.com\/irwin\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6008\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt;&gt;\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/senatedems.com\/irwin\/coffee-hour-sign-up\/\">Please\u202fuse this form to RSVP to\u202fthe\u202fcoffee hour<\/a>\u202fand to receive the information about how to join the meeting, which you can also\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SenatorIrwin\">watch on my Facebook page<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are unable to access the form or have any problems with the link, please contact my office at&nbsp;<strong>(517) 373-2406<\/strong>&nbsp;or by responding to this email.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID (FAFSA)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The application for FAFSA has opened!
