MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #98001
BY: Dennis Powers, District #10; Shelley Taub, District #12
IN RE: SB 113 (SUPPORT) STRENGTHENING CHILD ABUSE LAWS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS developments in the last several decades have moved
child abuse and neglect from societal denial to a prominent place
on the public agenda; and
WHEREAS in recognizing the physical and psychological damage
caused to children by abusive acts or failure to prevent those
acts, our legislature has created statutes to protect our children
from harm; and
WHEREAS SB 113, sponsored by Senator Michael Bouchard,
strengthens law enforcement's ability to arrest and prosecute those
people who abuse and neglect children, particularly those
individuals who have a duty and responsibility to protect and care
for the children they abuse; and
WHEREAS Oakland County Prosecutor, David Gorcyca, has
solicited our assistance in petitioning the State Legislature to
pass SB 113, so that his office can more aggressively prosecute
child abusers and those who recklessly place children in harm's
way.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby request the State Legislature to act
immediately to pass SB 113.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this
resolution be sent to all Oakland County Legislators, Governor
Engler, Lt. Governor Binsfeld Michigan Association of Counties
and the County's legislative agents.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
