LEGISLATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Since being elected to the House, Casperson has introduced fifty three Bills and seven Resolutions, and authored
twenty Public Acts, including:
The Crib Truck Bill: The issue that drove Casperson to run for the House after a mother and her daughter were
killed as a result of a log spill. The legislation permits timber haulers to haul wood "cross-ways" in "crib," which is a
measurably safer manner to haul timber. (Public Act 142 of 2003)
The Healthy Forest Package: A package of Bills requiring the Department of Natural Resources to certify
Michigan’s forest as sustainable forests. (Public Act 125 of 2004)
Metallic Mining Reform: Legislation that permitted (through arguably the worlds most stringent rules) Metallic
Mining in Michigan, and allows for significant job growth. (Public Act 449 of 2004),
The Castle Doctrine: An Act that gives Michigan citizens the right to use force to defend themselves, and
providing law abiding citizens with civil immunity. (Public Act 313 of 2006)
House Bill 5339: A Bill which prevented the State from seizing control of the Mackinac Bridge (Public Act 332 of
2005).
House Bill 6003: Legislation that provided $80 million to county road commission to allow them to expedite local
road projects. (Public Act 141 of 2006)
House Bill 5843: An Act that protects children, homeowners and communities from the growing threat of
methamphetamine labs. (Public Act 263 of 2006).
Driving Michigan: A package of Bills that provides greater retail access to renewable fuels. (Public Act 116 of
2006).
House Bill 6245: Legislation that amended the Cervidae Producers Act at the request of the Industry to provide for
updated and industry-acceptable standards. (Public Act 561 of 2006).
Amendments: In addition to being the primary author of twenty public acts, Casperson also successfully authored
countless amendments to bills on a wide range of issues confronting the District, including amendments that:
provided needed funding for the Sex Offender Registry; kept the Iron River State Police Post open; maintained the
judicial staffing of the Dickinson County Circuit Court; provided needed funding for Northern Michigan University
