To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in 2019 alone, there were 2,013 confirmed data breaches affecting billions of people; and
WHEREAS a data breach occurs when security is compromised and personal information, such as user
names and passwords, bank account or credit card information, social security numbers, etc. are accessed
without authorization; and
WHEREAS data breaches can occur in many ways including: hacking, ransomware, malware, phishing,
and denial of service (DoS); and
WHEREAS there is not currently a specific timeframe mandated within Michigan state law to notify
individuals when a data breach occurs and personal, financial, health, government or bank records have
been accessed without authorization; and
WHEREAS there is also no requirement to notify the State when a wide-scale breach happens; and
WHEREAS ultimately, this leads to consumers being the last to know that their information has been
compromised; and
WHEREAS in one example, Yahoo! experienced a data breach in August 2013 affecting 3 billion user
accounts but did not disclose the breach until over three years later in December 2016; and
WHEREAS State Representative Diana Farrington introduced House Bills 4186 and 4187 that would create
the Data Breach Notification Act; and
WHEREAS specifically, House Bill 4187 would create the Data Breach Notification Act, and House Bill 4186
would exempt entities subject to the new Act from similar provisions of the Identity Theft Protection Act; and
WHEREAS an entity covered under this Act would need to provide notice within 45 days of its determination
that a breach has occurred; and
WHEREAS the Data Breach Notification Act would require certain entities to do all of the following: protect
sensitive personal identifying information; investigate actual and potential breaches of security; and provide
notice to persons in the event of a breach of security resulting in the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive,
personal identifying information.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby supports
House Bills 4186 and 4187, commonly known as the Data Breach Notification Act.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward
copies of the adopted resolution to the Governor of the State of Michigan, the Michigan Secretary of State,
the State Senate Majority and Minority leaders, the State House Speaker and Minority leader, the members
of the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan Legislature, and the Board of Commissioners’ legislative
lobbyist.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

Angela Powell, District #10; Janet Jackson, District #21
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF SUPREME COURT
JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG AND HER ‘MOST FERVENT WISH’
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the longest serving woman on the U.S. Supreme Court, has died
on Friday September 18, 2020 due to complications from metastatic pancreatic cancer; and
WHEREAS she became the second female justice ever to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court; and
WHEREAS for more than a decade, until her first judicial appointment in 1980, she led the fight in the courts
for gender equality; and
WHEREAS she acted as general counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), where she co-
founded the ACLU Women’s Rights Project and argued over 300 gender discrimination cases, winning five
of six, before the Supreme Court; and
WHEREAS she built upon that legacy as a judge, serving 13 years as a U.S. Court of Appeals judge and
then during 27 years as a Supreme Court Justice; and
WHEREAS after being appointed Associate Justice to the Supreme Court by President Bill Clinton in 1993,
Ginsburg authored some 200 opinions, and broke new ground for gender equality in the United States; and
WHEREAS during her tenure, she led the Supreme Court in landmark decisions that expanded the rights
of women; and
WHEREAS Ginsburg wrote some of the Supreme Court’s most notable opinions on gender discrimination,
including the majority opinion in United States v. Virginia, a 1996 case which opened the Virginia Military
Institute to women; and
WHEREAS in her minority opinion for Ledbetter v. Goodyear in 2007, she wrote: "The Court does not
comprehend, or is indifferent to, the insidious way in which women can be victims of pay discrimination”;
and
WHEREAS there was a framed copy of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 on the wall of her chambers,
a law which she counted among her proudest achievements, even as it illustrated her limited power; and
WHEREAS her influence went far beyond gender cases. In 2012, for instance, Ginsburg authored a vital
concurrence/dissent in the split decision for National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius, a
case that upheld aspects of the Affordable Care Act; and
WHEREAS in more than four decades as a lawyer, professor, appellate judge, and associate justice of the
U.S. Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has influenced the law and society in real and permanent ways.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby honors
the life and legacy of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges the President of the
United States to honor Justice Ginsburg’s final wish: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until
a new president is installed” as her granddaughter revealed.

WHEREAS according to the National Safety Council (NSC), cell phone distracted driving has become a

WHEREAS more than 700 injury crashes involved distracted driving on an average day and the economic
toll of all motor vehicle crashes in the U.S. annually exceeds $400 billion; and
WHEREAS the NSC estimates more than 2,800 people in the U.S. died in distraction-related crashes in

WHEREAS road construction worker deaths are on the rise as a result of being struck by vehicles or mobile

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS — DESIGNATION OF OCTOBER 2020 AS BREAST CANCER
AWARENESS MONTH IN OAKLAND COUNTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in 1985, the American Cancer Society established Breast Cancer Awareness Month to promote
mammography as the most effective weapon in the fight against breast cancer; and
WHEREAS 1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime; and
WHEREAS breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers. It is
estimated that in 2020, approximately 30% of all new cancer diagnoses in women will be breast cancer;
and
WHEREAS there are several types of breast cancer—divided into non-invasive and invasive —which can
be diagnosed at different stages of development and can grow at different rates; and
WHEREAS in 2020, an estimated 276,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women
in the U.S. as well as 48,530 new cases of non-invasive breast cancer; and
WHEREAS on average, every 2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S. and in 2020,
it is estimated that 42,170 women will die from breast cancer; and
WHEREAS although rare, an estimated 2,620 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year in the
U.S. and approximately 520 will die; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. October 21, 2020
783
WHEREAS if cancer is detected at an early stage, it can be treated before it spreads to other parts of the
body. And, while the exact cause of breast cancer is not fully understood, there are many factors, including
age and family medical history, that increase the likelihood of developing it; and
WHEREAS 64 percent of breast cancer cases are diagnosed at a localized stage (there is no sign that the
cancer has spread outside of the breast), for which the 5-year survival rate is 99%; and
WHEREAS in recent years, perhaps coinciding with the decline in prescriptive hormone replacement
therapy after menopause, we have seen a gradual reduction in female breast cancer incidence rates among
women aged 50 and older; and
WHEREAS since 1990, death rates from breast cancer have been declining in part due to better
screening, early detection, increased awareness, and the continuous improvement in treatment options;
and
WHEREAS with the advancement in detection and treatment, there are over 3.5 million breast cancer
survivors in the United States.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners honors breast
cancer patients, survivors, and their families and recognizes October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month
in Oakland County to promote awareness and research for a cure.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
