“There is a pressing need to provide clarity and balance in our rules and regulations so that we can ensure a fair and predictable legal framework for all,” said Neyer, R-Shepherd. “Businesses shouldn’t be sued because somebody lacks common sense. It shouldn’t take handholding by property owners to stop people from jumping into holes, climbing telephone poles, or walking straight into a bonfire. The law should treat everyone like the adults we are, not overgrown toddlers.”

“The Amber Alert system in Michigan is almost 25 years old. Our technology – specifically the way we distribute information – has changed a lot since 2001,” said Neyer, R-Shepherd. “Updating the Amber Alert system by tapping into broadcast avenues like social media will help ensure that we can get information in front of people as quickly as possible. These efforts to expedite our rapid emergency response systems are critical to increasing the chances of a safe recovery in times of crisis.”
