Page 171 - MFB State Annual Meeting 2018 -- RESOLUTIONS BOOK

8 Although many of the issues surrounding UAS are
9 governed on the federal level by FAA, there are a
10 number of state level issues to be resolved. We
11 encourage Michigan Farm Bureau to work with the
12 state Legislature to address issues that develop
13 regarding UAS use. Also, we urge MFB to continue to
14 increase their knowledge and understanding of the
15 evolving UAS issues including but not limited to:
16 
17 
18 
19 
20 
21 
22 
23
Privacy and private property rights Nuisance
Reckless endangerment Proprietary data
Safety
Insurance
Authority enforcement and jurisdiction consistent with FAA part 107
As information becomes more definitive, we
24
25 encourage MFB to continue utilizing a UAS action team
26 to develop and promote educational tools. 
#51 IMMIGRATION
1 All immigration laws and border security should be
2 strictly enforced and the responsibility of the federal
3 government. We oppose any state mandate on
4 employers to use E-Verify or any other similar
5 program.
6 We support the work of the Office for New
7 Americans to improve worker availability in agriculture.
8 Michigan Farm Bureau should continue working with
9 the Office to address the challenges of agricultural labor
10 in Michigan. 
#52 INSURANCE ASSESSMENTS AND FINES
1 State-mandated special assessments on insurance
2 policies are being used to fund programs unrelated to the
3 insurance being provided. This increases the cost of
4 insurance and can make insurance unaffordable for
5 some segments of society.
6 In addition, government is looking to these
7 assessments and various regulatory fines on insurance
8 policies as a means to fund regulatory agencies and
9 departments that were previously, or are currently,
10 funded through the State general fund. This further
11 increases the cost of insurance and is a hidden means of
12 taxation.

We oppose:
Assessments on individual insurance policies for
costs that are not directly related to the coverage being provided to the individual purchaser of that insurance.
