Among existing products, increases in average prices over time have added to these challenges with some drug price increases even exceeding the rate of inflation; and WHEREAS the high cost of prescription drugs often requires individuals to choose between necessary medication and essential goods and services; and WHEREAS the Wolters Kluwer survey found that over the past few years, more than two in five respondents (44%) have chosen not to fill a prescription because of the cost. Multiplied across the US adult population, that’s more than 100 million people who potentially skipped or delayed needed care because of cost; and WHEREAS according to another recent poll, nearly 60% of Michiganders over the age of 50 report having not filled a prescription due to an outrageous price tag; and WHEREAS Senate Bills 483-485, introducing the Prescription Drug Cost and Affordability Review Act, would create the Prescription Drug Affordability Board (PDAB) and the Prescription Drug Affordability Stakeholder Council (Council) to combat the increasing cost of prescription drugs and provide a way to lower prescription drug costs for Michigan residents; and WHEREAS the PDAB would conduct cost affordability reviews and establish an upper payment limit on a prescription drug product, which is a cap on the amount that a prescription drug purchaser or payer could pay for the product; and WHEREAS six states have established a Prescription Drug Affordability Board to successfully set upper payment price limits on the most expensive prescription drugs and additional states are in the process of creating their own independent boards. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports Senate Bills 483-485 to enact the Prescription Drug Cost and Affordability Review Act.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports the National Association of Counties bipartisan initiative to urge national policy reform that aims to prevent disruptions in primary and behavioral health care services for justice-involved populations. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board is committed to the development of a strong intergovernmental partnership with Oakland County Health Network and other justice partners that achieves the counties' shared goals of ensuring communities have the resources needed to address the long-term behavioral and mental health needs of all Oakland County residents. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward copies of this adopted resolution to the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance Chair, the U.S. Senate Committee of Health, Education, Labor & Pension Chair, the Oakland County congressional delegation, the National Association of Counties', Michigan Association of Counties, and the Oakland County Health Network.

Board of Commissioners - Supporting Michigan Senate Bills 605-611 for Polluter Accountability Resolution #2023-3631 _ 23-173 MR #23173 Resolution Supporting Michigan Senate Bills 605-611 for Polluter Accountability Sponsored By: Gwen Markham WHEREAS from 1990 until 1995, Michigan had the strongest "polluter pay" law in the country; and WHEREAS if a corporation was responsible for contaminating Michigan land, air, or water, that corporation was also responsible for paying to clean up the contamination to the extent technically feasible; and WHEREAS since 1995, Michigan taxpayers have been financially responsible for cleaning up sites that are contaminated by corporate polluters; and WHEREAS in 1998 Michigan voters overwhelmingly approved the Clean Michigan Initiative to pay for cleanup of contaminated sites since corporations were no longer paying to address industrial pollution; and WHEREAS while there has been a sharp increase of contaminated sites in Michigan, there has been a major lack of investment towards cleaning up those sites; and WHEREAS current Michigan law does not require a cleanup or for companies with pollution on their property to even report the polluted site; and WHEREAS 95% of Michigan voters support requiring corporations that cause contamination to pay to clean up their pollution, rather than having taxpayers foot the bill, according to polling commissioned by Progress Michigan in August 2023; and WHEREAS Michigan Senate Bills 605-611 would hold polluters accountable in the State of Michigan by increasing transparency for contaminated site cleanup and putting in place accountability measures so corporations that pollute our land and water are responsible for paying to clean it up, not taxpayers. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports the adoption of Michigan Senate Bills 605-611 for polluter accountability. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward copies of this adopted resolution to the Governor of the State of Michigan, 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 Commissioner’s legislative lobbyist.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports the passage of Senate Bills 530 (S-4) and 531 (S-2) as critical measures to address unintended consequences of previous legislation and improve access to necessary services for auto accident survivors; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners encourages legislators to consider the proposed amendments as essential steps toward a more effective and equitable motor vehicle personal and property protection system; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners calls upon all relevant stakeholders to collaborate in advancing these bills for the benefit of the community and in recognition of the importance of accessible and sustainable care for auto accident survivors.
