6A-DAILY PRESS AHGUS-Wednesday, February 28, 2001 Staie briefs State Press Argus Feds seek death penalty for Michigan man GOP talks seniors, long-term care LANSING State House Republicans said Tuesday they want to make sure senior citizens are making Informed decisions when it comes to signing a contract for long-term health care. Members of the House Senior Health. Security and Retirement Committee said they want seniors to know exactly what kind of long-term care they're receiving from a health care provider. The committee unanimously approved a bill that would require Insurance companies to spell out their long-term health care services in plain English. The bill was reintroduced by Rep.

Sue Tabor this year after the Senate failed to act on it during the last legislative session despite the House's approval, Tabor, a Republican from Eaton County's Delta Township, said many seniors don't realize what services are covered by their long-term health care provider until It's too late. Her legislation will "make sure that consumers understand exactly what they are purchasing. Tabor said. "So when the time comes, they will know what will be covered, and what wont." The legislation now goes to the full House for consideration. i Police outside jurisdictions can't make arrests GRAND RAPIDS The sheriff has stopped deputizing police officers in Kent County, citing his fear of potential lawsuits.

That means officers cannot arrest those suspected of any misdemeanor offenses in other jurisdictions, even if they witness it, without -permission -from police who-cover those areas, Permission can be a matter of a call on a police radio, but that is not always possible when an officer is off-duty, local police chiefs say. Grandvtlle Police Chief Vern Snyder said the dilemma could force officers outside their jurisdiction to make tough decisions. "Do we have the authority to pull over the drunk driver who, in theory, could go another half-mile and kill somebody? Do we have to follow i him until he gets Into our Jurisdiction?" Until late last year, deputized officers But Kent County Sheriff Larry Stelma said a pending case involving a drunken-driving arrest by a deputized Hope College police officer prompted him to hold off on deputizing local officers. her daughter, Shannon VerHage. Fire safety at state universities questioned ANN ARBOR Three dormitory fires on Michigan college campuses in recent weeks point to the risks presented by fires for students at the state's universities.

Though no one was injured as a result of the fires at Michigan State University, the University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University, some say additional precautions are needed to prevent serious harm. A Detroit Free Press survey of five Michigan universities found that only one of 75 dorm surveyed was fully equipped with sprinklers. And while K-12 schools must undergo outside Inspections, colleges are allowed to inspect themselves and are not subject to a uniform state inspection system. Over the past three years, 115 fires have been reported at the University of Michigan, Michigan State. Eastern Michigan.
