EXECUTIVE ORDER

No. 2022-13

Declaration of State of Emergency

Late October 6, 2022, a large-scale industrial fire began at a paper plant and a neighboring warehouse in the city of Menominee. Menominee County issued a local state of emergency the following day.

The city and county responded swiftly and activated mutual aid for assistance in firefighting measures. Firefighters from both Michigan and Wisconsin responded to the ongoing incident, consistent with the Northern Emergency Management Assistance Compact and the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System. The Environmental Protection Agency also dispatched a team to conduct air quality monitoring and testing because an 8,000-gallon tank of peroxide was in the fire’s likely path. Residents of both the city of Menominee and the city of Marinette, Wisconsin were advised to shelter in place due to smoke-related hazards.

Despite local efforts, as supplemented by assistance provided through mutual aid agreements, Menominee needs additional state support to combat the fire. State resources are also needed to provide technical assistance to ensure that water run-off from fire suppression efforts do not threaten local water supplies. Further, the local jurisdictions have incurred substantial costs in connection with fire suppression and other clean-up efforts. State assistance and other outside resources are necessary to effectively respond to and recover from the impacts of this emergency; protect public health, safety, and property; and lessen or avert the threat of more severe and lasting harm.

Section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the State of Michigan in the governor. Under the Emergency Management Act, 1976 PA 390, as amended, MCL 30.403(4), “[t]he governor shall, by executive order or proclamation, declare a state of emergency if he or she finds that an emergency has occurred or that the threat of an emergency exists.”

Therefore, acting under the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, including the Emergency Management Act, 1976 PA 390, as amended, MCL 30.401 to 30.421, I order the following:

1. A state of emergency is declared for Menominee County.

2. The Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division of the Department of State Police shall coordinate and maximize all state efforts and may call upon all state departments to utilize available resources to assist in the designated area pursuant to the Michigan Emergency Management Plan.

3. The state of emergency is terminated at such time as the threats to public health, safety, and property caused by the emergency no longer exist, and appropriate programs have been implemented to recover from the effects of this emergency, but in no case later than Wednesday, November 9, unless extended as provided by the Emergency Management Act.

Date: October 13, 2022

EXECUTIVE ORDER

No. 2022-14

Juvenile Residential Facilities Advisory Committee

Michigan Department of Health and Human Services

Michigan is committed to protecting the safety and well-being of youth in the juvenile justice system. In June 2021, with Executive Order 2021-6, I launched the Juvenile Justice Reform Task Force and tasked it with assessing our juvenile justice system and recommending proven practices and strategies for reform. The Task Force was chaired by Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist and reflected a partnership between county and state leaders, the courts, juvenile justice advocates, and experts. After a year of diligent work, the Task Force issued its final report and recommendations on July 22, 2022.

One of the Task Force’s primary objectives was to make recommendations for safely reducing juvenile placements in detention and residential facilities. In its final report, the Task Force concluded that Michigan has inadequate state laws, court rules, and funding incentives to guide the use of residential placements. As a result, the quality of services and case management received by youth in residential placements differs significantly by county, wardship, and facility.

With this context in mind, the Task Force unanimously recommended the establishment of a statewide residential advisory committee to support the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Appropriate and timely placements, especially for youth with behavioral health needs who require specialized treatment in a residential facilities, have been increasingly difficult to find over the past year. The efforts of this advisory committee will build upon the success of the Juvenile Justice Reform Task Force to recommend quality assurance and improvement processes for residential facilities statewide.

Section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the State of Michigan in the governor.

Section 8 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 obligates the governor to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.

Acting under the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:

1. Creating the Residential Advisory Committee

(a) The Residential Advisory Committee (“Committee”) is created as an advisory body within the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (“Department”).

(b) The Committee may include the following representatives from state government:

(1) The Director of the Department, or the Director’s designee from within the department, who will serve as the chair of the Committee;

(2) The Senior Deputy Director of the Children’s Services Agency within the Department, or their designee from within the Agency;

(3) The Superintendent of Public Instruction or his designee from within the Michigan Department of Education; and

(4) A representative of the State Court Administrative Office.

(1) A probate court judge who regularly handles juvenile cases;

(2) A circuit court judge who regularly handles juvenile cases;

(3) A representative of family court administrators;

(4) A prosecutor;

(5) A juvenile defense attorney;

(6) A representative of county government;

(7) A representative of a tribal government;

(8) A representative of a juvenile justice association;

(9) A representative of the Michigan Committee on Juvenile Justice, or its successor organization.

(10) A member with expertise in youth mental health;

2. Charge to the Committee

(1) Review licensing standards for state-run, locally run and privately run juvenile justice facilities and make recommendations to improve evidence-based standards for juvenile justice residential placements, regardless of facility or wardship type.

(2) Review staff training, service standards, and length-of-stay guidelines for local detention and residential facilities and make recommendations to improve or strengthen each.

(3) Review existing case management standards, which could include risk and needs assessments, service delivery, behavioral health treatment, family-team meetings, dual ward policies, and reentry planning process and recommend baseline standards to guide long-term post disposition residential placements, regardless of county of wardship.

(4) Recommend criteria to measure progress toward evidence-based outcomes, including educational outcomes, for youth placed in residential facilities.

(b) In addition, the Committee may, at the invitation of the Department, support the Department’s statewide strategic planning initiatives related to residential placements and management.

3. Operations of the Committee

(a) The Department must assist the Committee in the performance of its duties and provide personnel to staff the Committee. The budgeting, procurement, and related management functions of the Committee will be performed under the direction and supervision of the director of the Department.

(c) Members who attend less than 50 percent of the scheduled meetings in any calendar year have vacated their appointment. Upon notification, the governor must fill the vacancy in the same manner as the original appointment.

(d) The Committee may adopt additional procedures, consistent with this order and applicable law, governing its organization and operations.

(e) The Committee must comply with the Freedom of Information Act, 1976 PA 442, as amended, MCL 15.231 to 15.246.

(f) The Committee may establish advisory workgroups composed of individuals or entities participating in Committee activities, including other members of the public as deemed necessary by the Committee, to assist it in performing its duties and responsibilities. The Committee may adopt, reject, or modify any recommendations proposed by an advisory workgroup.

(d) If any portion of this order is found to be unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be disregarded and the rest of the order will remain in effect as issued.

(e) This order is effective upon filing.

Given under my hand and the great seal of the State of Michigan.
