a.Urging State Legislature to Amend the Michigan No-Fault Auto Insurance
Reform Act to Address a Reimbursement Cap for Auto Accident Victims
Christine Long moved to adopt the attached Resolution: Urging State
Legislature to Amend the Michigan No-Fault Auto Insurance Reform Act to
Address a Reimbursement Cap for Auto Accident Victims. Seconded by Kristen
Nelson.
Motion Passed.
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #21443
Sponsored By: Charles Cavell, Eileen Kowall, Robert Hoffman, Janet Jackson,
Gwen Markham, Gary McGillivray, Yolanda Smith Charles
IN RE: Urging State Legislature to Amend the Michigan No-Fault Auto
Insurance Reform Act to Address a Reimbursement Cap for Auto Accident
Victims
WHEREAS the Michigan No-Fault Auto Insurance Reform Act of 2019
introduced a fee schedule, which took effect on July 1, 2021, that set
percentage limits on how much doctors, hospitals, clinics, institutions, and
persons can be paid or reimbursed for providing treatment or care to auto
accident victims; and
WHEREAS the reimbursement rates under the Michigan No-Fault medical fee
schedule limit the amount payable to a health provider for treatment or services
reimbursable by Medicare, limit the reimbursement rate for care providers
whose treatment or services are not covered by Medicare, and limit No-Fault
coverage for in-home family provided care; and
WHEREAS rates for services not provided by Medicare were reduced by 45%
from what providers received in January 2019; and
WHEREAS the new law applies retroactively the changes made to a fee
schedule, which is fundamentally unfair to individuals who purchased coverage
and were injured in motor vehicle accidents before the No-Fault Act was
amended in 2019; and
WHEREAS these fee caps affect the auto accident victims who are receiving
long-term care and rehabilitation paid for by the Michigan Catastrophic Claims
Association (MCCA) through the per-vehicle annual fee that all Michigan drivers
were once assessed; and
WHEREAS the MCCA’s 2021 Annual Statement shows its assets are over $27
billion and its total liabilities are slightly over $22 billion; and
WHEREAS after the updated medical fee schedules have gone into effect, auto
accident victims are struggling now to access even minimal care; and
WHEREAS some patients who are not able to find long-term catastrophic care
services could be forced to leave their own homes; and
WHEREAS the new law is also causing a lot of payment delays, payment
denials and unnecessary hurdles which patients did not have to go through prior
to July 1, 2021; and
WHEREAS even though lifetime medical benefits are still guaranteed under the
new law, they are meaningless if patients have very limited or no access to
them; and
WHEREAS there are many Oakland County residents, and their families, who
are currently benefitting, or would in the future, from services pertaining to their
care, recovery and rehabilitation from catastrophic injuries but are already
directly affected if the current law is not changed; and
WHEREAS significant numbers of Oakland County medical and rehabilitation
businesses that serve accident victims who are covered under this law suffer
income loss and could be forced to lay off employees, or even close entirely, if
this reform is not changed; and
WHEREAS already more than 18,000 individuals with spinal cord injuries, brain
injuries and other catastrophic injuries in Michigan have to find another way to
receive care and support because of this major change to the State’s No-Fault
auto insurance law; and
WHEREAS according to the Michigan Brain Injury Provider Council (MBIPC),
more than 750 patients have already lost access to medical care since the
changes took effect in July; and
WHEREAS at least 41 Michigan-based care companies have had to either
close their doors completely or discharge patients receiving benefits via No-
Fault auto insurance; and
WHEREAS these actions have already put at least 1,500 healthcare workers
out of a job; and
WHEREAS this is a humanitarian crisis born from a government-mandated
price fix, and only the legislature can undo it; and
WHEREAS there is bipartisan support to address the reimbursement issues,
but the House and Senate leadership have so far taken what appears to be a
“wait and see” approach to the July 1, 2021, fee schedule change.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby urges the Michigan Legislature to amend the Michigan
No-Fault Auto Insurance Reform Act to address a sustainable reimbursement
cap for services provided to auto accident victims and preserve the benefits to
survivors who receive long-term care paid by the Michigan Catastrophic Claims
Association
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 State Senate Majority and Minority leaders, the State
House Speaker and Minority Leader, and the members of the Oakland County
delegation to the Michigan Legislature.

offset entirely by the Non-Departmental Fringe Benefits Fund Budgeted Equity
Adjustment Line Item; and
WHEREAS FY 2022 funding for a portion of the salary increase, $136,008, will
be offset by the Non-Departmental General Fund Planned Use of Balance and
for FY 2023 – FY 2024 will be offset by Non-Departmental General Fund

and the Michigan American Federation of State, County and Municipal

Christine Long moved to adopt the attached Resolution: Support of the
Protecting Seniors Through Immunization Act of 2021. Seconded by Kristen
Nelson.
Motion Passed.
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #21442
Sponsored By: Kristen Nelson, Angela Powell, Janet Jackson
IN RE: Support of the Protecting Seniors Through Immunization Act of
2021
WHEREAS immunizations are one of the greatest medical advances in human
history; and
WHEREAS vaccines have essentially eradicated deadly and debilitating
diseases, such as measles, chickenpox, and polio, that were once
commonplace; and
WHEREAS older adults and persons with chronic conditions such as heart
disease, diabetes and lung disease are especially vulnerable to serious illness
and complications from vaccine preventable diseases; and
WHEREAS Medicare coverage for these populations does not encourage
access to this proven and cost-effective form of prevention; and
WHEREAS since 2012, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
Annual Call letter to Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plans has
brought to light the need to strengthen beneficiary access to Part D vaccines to
protect against costly and devastating vaccine preventable conditions; and
WHEREAS a 2017 report by Avalere Health found between 47 and 72 percent
of the 24 million Medicare beneficiaries with Part D coverage had some level of
cost sharing for vaccines, ranging from $35 to $70 in 2015; and
WHEREAS another study found that only 4 percent or less of Medicare Part D
enrollees had access to vaccines with no cost sharing; and
WHEREAS on March 23, 2021, the Protecting Seniors Through Immunization
Act of 2021 was introduced in the U.S. Senate; and
WHEREAS this bipartisan legislation would provide Medicare beneficiaries
access to all recommended vaccines at no additional cost, including shingles
and tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap); and
WHEREAS under current law, Medicare immunization coverage varies by
vaccine; and
WHEREAS some vaccines, like those that protect against influenza and
pneumococcal infection, are available with no additional out-of-pocket spending;
and
WHEREAS however, other vaccines—like the shingles vaccine—often require
significant additional spending, which in turn contributes to lower vaccination
rates, particularly for elderly, disabled, and chronically ill people; and
WHEREAS prior to the pandemic, more than 50,000 adults in America died
from vaccine-preventable diseases every year, and the United States spent
more than $15 billion annually treating Medicare beneficiaries alone for vaccine-
preventable diseases; and
WHEREAS the Act would reduce financial barriers by providing Medicare
coverage of adult vaccines recommended by the Center for Disease Control
and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices with no
additional cost-sharing for beneficiaries; and
WHEREAS it would also improve patient education by including information
about vaccine coverage in the Medicare & You Handbook and require a study
on vaccine uptake among Medicare beneficiaries; and
WHEREAS Americans deserve better access to high value preventive adult
immunizations than what is presently available.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby supports the Protecting Seniors Through Immunization
Act of 2021.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED Americans deserve better access to high value
preventive adult immunizations than what is presently available.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds
is requested to forward copies of the adopted resolution to the U.S. Senate
Majority and Minority Leaders and the members of the Michigan Senate
delegation.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #21357
Sponsored By: Adam Kochenderfer
IN RE: Motion to Discharge - MR #21357 Request To the Oakland County
Health Division to Permit School Districts to Determine Mask
Requirements
WHEREAS in March of last year, a new strain of the coronavirus, otherwise
known as COVID-19, attacked Oakland County and the State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS throughout nearly all of last year, our population had no access to
vaccines and the medical community knew little about COVID-19 and its
transmissibility; and
WHEREAS senior citizens have been and remain the most vulnerable group to
severe illness and even death from COVID-19 without vaccination; and
WHEREAS with the introduction of widely available and effective vaccines, as
well as increased knowledge and research within the medical community,
mortality rates, severe illness, and hospitalizations in Oakland County
associated with COVID-19 have dramatically dropped; and
WHEREAS over 71% of Oakland County residents 16 years or older have
received at least their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine; and
WHEREAS after nearly a year and a half of the COVID-19 pandemic, severe
illness, hospitalization, and death continue to be rare in children infected with
COVID-19; and
WHEREAS NPR recently reported that, “n states where data was available,
less than 2% of all child COVID-19 cases required hospitalization and 0.00% to
0.03% were fatal”; and
WHEREAS in data provided by the White House COVID-19 Team, Strategy
and Execution Group, Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention dated
August 11, 2021, it was reported that only 3.6 people per 1 million people ages
17 years old or younger constituted new pediatric hospital admissions that
tested positive for COVID-19; and
WHEREAS a robust study issued by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention in May 2021 covering more than 90,000 elementary-school students
in 169 Georgia schools failed to show that a masking requirement of students
generated any independent benefit; and
WHEREAS the director of Emergency Medicine Infectious Disease
Management at Boston Medical Center, Elissa Schechter-Perkins, recently
noted the lack of “any studies that show conclusively that kids wearing masks in
schools has any effect on their own morbidity or mortality or on the
hospitalization or death rate in the community around them”; and
WHEREAS Dr. Schechter-Perkins further remarked that “there are real
downsides to masking children for this long, with no end date, and without any
clear upside”; and
WHEREAS in a Detroit Free Press article dated August 23, 2021, Governor
Gretchen Whitmer noted that school districts should determine whether to
impose mask requirements and “that districts in large measure wanted the
ability to make those decisions at the local level”; and
WHEREAS on August 24, 2021, the Oakland County Executive, by and through
an order of the Oakland County Health Division, took that decision away from
school districts and their elected boards and unilaterally imposed a masking
requirement on over 200,000 students beginning at 5 years old and
recommended “supervised masking” for children at least two years old; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Executive, through the Oakland County Health
Division, issued its surprise order with virtually no notice to the Oakland County
Board of Commissioners, the county’s legislative body; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Health Division presumably issued its
“emergency order” under MCL § 333.2453, which authorizes a local health
officer to “establish procedures to be followed by persons . . . to insure
continuation of essential public health services and enforcement of health laws”;
and
WHEREAS the body of data does not credibly support any finding that
mandatory masking of hundreds of thousands of children, some as young as
five years old, is necessary “to insure continuation of essential public health
services and enforcement of health laws”; and
WHEREAS instead, this is a vast overreach by zealous government officials
that ignores the rights of elected school boards across Oakland County, not to
mention the prior statements of Governor Whitmer deferring to school districts;
and
WHEREAS this resolution is not about whether wearing masks is advisable, but
is about whether the actions of the Oakland County Executive, by and through
the Oakland County Health Division, meet the statutory threshold of MCL §
333.2453; and
WHEREAS mandatory masking requirements for small children for at least
seven hours a day without any showing that they are necessary “to insure
continuation of essential public health services and enforcement of health laws”
have exposed Oakland County to potentially significant liability and costs,
including unnecessary attorney fees in a lawsuit the county would likely lose;
and
WHEREAS these costs were wholly avoidable if the Oakland County Executive,
through the Oakland County Health Division, would have permitted school
districts to continue creating masking policies themselves; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Executive, through the Oakland County Health
Division, issued the order with immediate effect and without notice to schools
that were already in session, causing needless havoc and illustrating the ill-
considered nature of the order; and
WHEREAS nine school districts in Oakland County had already put masking
mandates in places, leaving the Board of Commissioners to question why it was
necessary to ignore the county’s statutory limits and trample on the democratic
process at the local level.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners urges the Oakland County Health Division to immediately
rescind its Emergency Order (2021-21) for Control of Pandemic issued on
August 24, 2021.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners agrees with Governor Whitmer’s prior statements that school
districts should determine masking requirements.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners requests that the Oakland County Executive, through the
Oakland County Health Division, respect the decision-making authority of
elected school boards and acknowledge that they are democratically
accountable and capable of creating masking requirements as necessary.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners requests that the Oakland County Executive, through the
Oakland County Health Division, cease issuing any other emergency orders in
violation of the county’s statutory authority and placing the county at
unnecessary risk of litigation and its related costs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the
offices of the Oakland County Executive and Oakland County Health Division.

of government to strategically invest the one-time dollars in areas of greatest
need for improvement; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Association of Counties has received positive
feedback on the ideas put forth for match programs within the state; and
WHEREAS Michigan has a chance to amplify investments with the influx of
federal funding and a collaborative effort by all levels of government that will
allow the dollars to be stretched to invest in common goals; and
WHEREAS the comprehensive approach to leverage American Resuce Plan
dollars will provide Michigan the ability to amplify investment for our future by
focusing resources in five key areas — water infrastructure and broadband,
local capacity and fiscal stability, housing and community development,
comprehensive economic development and public health and safety; and
WHEREAS our future success is inextricably linked, and strategic investment of
our available resources needs to support and strengthen these connections;

Welfare Act and the Mental Health Code
Chairperson and Members of the Board:
WHEREAS Senate Bills 597-598 would destroy the partnerships that the public
sector has created to provide a system of community treatment for individuals in
need; and
WHEREAS according to the Community Mental Health Association of Michigan,
these bills will unravel Michigan's nationally recognized public mental health

foremost harm the 320,000 Michiganders served by this system; and
WHEREAS law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, child protection services,
hospitals, emergency rooms, crisis centers, healthcare providers and others
work together to implement the sequential intercept model (SIM), which details
how individuals with mental and substance-use disorders come into contact with
and move through the criminal justice system; and
WHEREAS SBs 597-598 seek to remove public funding for existing community-
based, managed-care organizations that are accountable to individuals served
and give it to for-profit health plans accountable to investors; and
WHEREAS these bills would dramatically change the public mental health
system in Michigan by creating damaging privatized solutions for the state's
local mental-health services; and
WHEREAS these bills also threaten to eliminate key components of care at the
local community level by shifting the state's largely public mental-health system
to private insurers while stripping the $3.6 billion system of public accountability;
and
WHEREAS private insurers are not subject to the state's Freedom of
Information Act or Open Meetings Acts, as are county-based community
mental-health programs; and
WHEREAS the proposed legislation focuses solely on the
administrative/managed care level, not the direct service level, and the
suggested changes could in fact hurt individuals receiving the care they need at
a time when so many across our state are struggling, vulnerable and in need of
support; and
WHEREAS thousands of families across the State of Michigan depend on the
public mental health system for affordable,accessible care; and
WHEREAS the consequences of untreated mental illness have implications
across the criminal and civil justice system as well as education and child
protection, managing the problem requires community partnerships and the
most important partner is the system that delivers mental health care.

Commissioners opposes senate Bills 597-598 which would amend the Social
