Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Frederick, Liberati, Bollin, Calley, Cherry, Chirkun, Crawford,
Hood, Hope, Jones, Kahle, Kuppa, Love, Manoogian, Shannon, Sneller, Sowerby,
Stone, Warren, Webber, Whitsett and Wittenberg offered the following
resolution:
House Resolution No. 49.
A
resolution to declare April 2, 2019, as Autism Awareness Day in the state of
Michigan.
Whereas,
Autism is the result of a neurological disorder that affects the normal
functioning of the brain and impacts development in the areas of social
interaction and communication skills; and
Whereas,
The demands of living with a person with autism are great and families
frequently experience significant financial costs for specialized education and
support services. The uniqueness of each individual with autism makes the
experience of living with autism different for each family; and
Whereas,
Autism is a lifelong condition and the necessary support and treatment changes
as people on the spectrum move through major life phases. Their quality of life
depends not only upon the foundation that is provided in childhood, but on
ongoing supports that are specific to the educational, medical, social,
recreational, family, and employment needs of the individual; and
Whereas, Autism knows no racial, ethnic, social
boundaries, family income, lifestyle, or educational levels, and can affect any
family and any child. Autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability in
the United States and it is estimated that it is prevalent in 1 in
every 59 children under the age of 8 and is four times more likely to occur in
boys than in girls; and
Whereas, Early intervention services are the primary
therapeutic option for young people with autism and that early intervention
significantly improves the outcome for people with autism and can reduce the
level of funding and services needed to treat people with autism later in life;
and
Whereas, New opportunities are being created through
collaborative efforts of family members, professionals, and all levels of government to bring about significant
changes in the public perception of young people and adults with developmental
disabilities, including those with autism, opening new doors to independent and
productive lives; and
Whereas, The Michigan Developmental Disabilities Council
supports people with developmental disabilities,
including those with autism, to achieve their life’s dreams and ensure that all
citizens of Michigan have the opportunities and support to achieve their full
potential; and
Whereas,
Numerous efforts to support individuals in Michigan have been made in recent
years, including legislation enacted in 2012 to require insurance coverage of
autism therapy treatment. Furthermore, the Michigan Autism Council was
established by Executive Order to adopt and implement the Michigan Autism
Spectrum Disorder Plan; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body
declare April 2, 2019, as Autism Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Liberati, Frederick, Bollin, Calley, Cherry, Chirkun, Crawford,
Haadsma, Hope, Jones, Kahle, Kuppa, Love, Manoogian, Shannon, Sneller, Sowerby,
Stone, Warren, Webber, Whitsett and Wittenberg offered the following
resolution:
House Resolution No. 50.
A
resolution to declare April 2019 as Autism Awareness Month in the state of
Michigan.
Whereas, Autism refers to a range of conditions
characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication, as well as by unique
strengths and differences. In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association merged four previously distinct
diagnoses into one umbrella diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These included autistic disorder, childhood
disintegrative disorder, pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified
(PDD-NOS) and Asperger syndrome. It is the result of a neurological disorder
that affects the normal functioning of the brain that is believed to be caused
by genetic and environmental factors; and
Whereas, Families living with autism face unique challenges
and frequently experience significant financial costs
for specialized education and support services. The uniqueness of each
individual with autism makes the experience of living with autism different for
each family; and
Whereas,
Autism is a lifelong condition and the necessary support and treatment changes
as people on the spectrum move through major life phases. Their quality of life
depends not only upon the foundation that is provided
in childhood, but on ongoing supports that are specific to the educational,
medical, social, recreational, family, and employment needs of the
individual; and
Whereas,
Autism knows no racial, ethnic, social boundaries, family income, lifestyle, or
educational levels, and can affect any family and any child. Autism is the
fastest-growing developmental disability in the United States and it is
estimated that it is prevalent in 1 in every 59 children under the age of 8 and
is four times more likely to occur in boys than in girls; and
Whereas,
April 2019 is National Autism Awareness Month; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body
declare April 2019 as Autism Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Hertel, Elder, Stone, Sowerby, Kennedy,
Witwer, Lasinski, Pagan, Jones, Love, Cherry, Chirkun, Kuppa, Liberati,
Manoogian, Shannon, Sneller, Warren, Whitsett and Wittenberg offered the
following resolution:
House Resolution No. 51.
A
resolution to declare March 22, 2019, as Youth Parenting Awareness Day in the
state of Michigan.
Whereas,
There were 5,307 births to teen mothers in Michigan in 2017, which accounted
for 4.8% of all births in the state. In 2015, 17% of births to teens ages 15-19
were repeat births; and
Whereas,
The state has shown commitment to supporting all individuals in their parenting
responsibilities with the prior enactment of Parenting Awareness Month in
March, yet there is no youth-specific parenting awareness day in Michigan that
recognizes young parents and those who work with and support them; and
Whereas,
Young parents deserve equal support, services, and resources as other parents
to ensure the health and well-being of their children. Parenting is a choice
and all individuals who elect to become parents should be respected in their
choice; and
Whereas,
Young parents often face additional hardships in educational achievement,
employment opportunities, financial stability; dating, interpersonal, and
sexual violence; mental health, housing access, child care services, and
receiving quality maternal and infant health; and
Whereas,
With support, young parents are more likely to finish high school, get their
GED, pursue higher level education, achieve and retain employment, and maintain
stable housing. Supporting young parents leads to better health and social
outcomes for the children of young parents; and
Whereas,
Current discourse of pregnancy prevention stigmatizes and marginalizes teen
parents and does not accurately reflect the lived experiences of many young
families. There are many young parents and families who are happy, healthy, and
thriving; and
Whereas,
Young parents are important contributing members within their communities
across the state of Michigan; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body
declare March 22, 2019, as Michigan Youth Parenting Awareness Day in the state
of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Kuppa, Hood, Cherry, Wittenberg, Lasinski, Elder, Sabo, Hertel,
Bolden, Stone, Pohutsky, Hoadley, Peterson, Slagh, Witwer, Gay-Dagnogo,
Haadsma, Brixie, Hope, Rabhi, Sneller, Manoogian, Tyrone Carter, Garza,
Ellison, Sowerby, Howell, Pagan, Liberati, Vaupel, Mueller, Camilleri, Greig,
Love, Chirkun, Jones, Shannon, Warren and Whitsett offered the following
resolution:
House Resolution No. 52.
A resolution to declare March 22, 2019, as Michigan Water
Day and World Water Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas,
Since 1993, the United Nations has designated March 22nd as World Water Day. In
2010, the United Nations acknowledged “the importance of equitable access to
safe and clean drinking water and sanitation as an integral component of the
realization of all human rights”; and
Whereas, The theme of World Water Day 2019 is ‘Leaving no
one behind’ and we recognize the importance of
freshwater and the sustainable management of freshwater resources; and
Whereas,
Clean water is integral to the global economy and international security, and
nearly 1.5 billion laborers around the world work in water-related sectors.
Reliable water infrastructure is integral to the health, safety and well-being
of people; and
Whereas, Water services should meet the needs of all
Michiganders, including those who are most vulnerable, so
that their voices are heard in the decision making process; and
Whereas,
Michigan has the largest freshwater coastline in the United States and has more
than 11,000 inland lakes. A
Michigander is never more than six miles away from a fresh body of water; and
Whereas,
The Great Lakes make up more than twenty percent of the world’s freshwater
supply and are a source of drinking water for about forty million people.
Approximately 525,886 jobs in Michigan are directly connected to the Great
Lakes; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body
declare March 22, 2019, as Michigan Water Day and World Water Day in the state
of Michigan. It is with great honor and appreciation that we take this time to
join other states and nations in expressing our commitment to ensuring that
clean affordable drinking water is available to all Michiganders; and commit
ourselves to promotion of public awareness to prevent our precious water from
pollution and depletion. On this day, we will celebrate and honor the pure
water in our state, our country, and our world; and be it further
Resolved,
While we recognize the interconnectedness of humanity and appreciate global
challenges, we also recognize our duty as Michiganders in protecting our
natural resources and instilling a sense of pride in ourselves and our children
for our Great Lakes; and be it further
Resolved, We cherish and acknowledge the special
responsibility of protecting Michigan’s waters for current and
future generations.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Witwer, Cherry, Chirkun, Haadsma, Hope, Jones, Kuppa, Liberati,
Love, Manoogian, Shannon, Sneller, Sowerby, Stone, Warren, Whitsett and
Wittenberg offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 53.
A
resolution to declare April 2019 as Michigan Student Athlete Cardiac Awareness
Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas,
The state of Michigan has lost at least 72 students to sudden cardiac arrest
and related causes since December 1999; and
Whereas,
Those students lost include 15-year-old Kimberly Anne Gillary,
a student of Troy Athens High School who suffered a sudden cardiac arrest in a
high school water polo game at Birmingham Groves High School on April 1, 2000;
Kayla Stanford, a student at Ypsilanti East Middle School, who suffered a
cardiac arrest after completing track practice on March 29, 2006; Thomas Noah
Smith, a student of Flushing High School, who suffered a sudden cardiac arrest
on January 29, 2011; and Wes Leonard, a student at Fennville High school who
suffered a sudden cardiac arrest after scoring the winning basket in a basketball
game on March 3, 2011: and
Whereas,
The families of Kimberly Anne Gillary, Kayla
Stanford, Thomas Noah Smith, and Wes Leonard have established Foundations (the “Foundations”)
in the memory of their lost sons and daughters to try to prevent other families
from losing their sons and daughters to sudden cardiac arrest at school; and
Whereas,
The Foundations have donated more than 1,100 Automated External Defibrillators
(AEDs) to high schools and intermediate schools in the state of Michigan and
have provided training to teachers and staff on the use of an AED and in CPR;
and
Whereas,
The vast majority of all Michigan high schools now have at least one AED on
site due in part to the efforts of the Foundations founded by the families and
by other concerned organizations; and
Whereas,
In the past five years, there have been at least 22 lives saved including 10
students at Michigan K-12 schools as a result of the use of school AEDs, some
of which were donated by the Foundations and other concerned organizations; and
Whereas,
As a result of the efforts of the Foundations, the Michigan Department of
Health and Human Services (MDHHS), and the Michigan
High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) there is an increased awareness of the
importance of more effective pre-participation screening of our high school
student athletes and of having readily available AEDs in our high schools; and
Whereas,
The Foundations have worked with the Michigan Department of Health and Human
Services to develop the Michigan HeartSafe School
Program and to encourage Michigan high schools to receive certification as a
Michigan HeartSafe School. To date, there are 442
K-12 schools in Michigan that have received the MI HeartSafe
School designation; and
Whereas,
The Michigan Legislature has passed legislation to amend MCL 29.19 to require
the governing body of any school in Michigan for grades K-12 to adopt and
implement a Cardiac Emergency Response Plan for the school; and
Whereas,
House Bill 4713 was signed into law on February 25, 2014, thereby establishing
that it is the public policy of the State of Michigan that Michigan schools be
adequately prepared to respond to a cardiac emergency on school property; and
Whereas,
Senate Bill No. 647 was signed into law on December 28, 2016. It is now Public
Act 388 of 2016 and requires all students in grades 7-12 to receive instruction
in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) before graduation; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare
April 2019 as Michigan Student Athlete Cardiac Awareness Month in the state of
Michigan; and be it further
Resolved,
That the people of the state of Michigan are encouraged to become more aware of
the importance of improved pre-participation screening of our student athletes
and the preparedness of our citizenry and public employees to respond to the
sudden cardiac arrest of our sons and daughters while entrusted to our public
schools in the course of their education; and be it further
Resolved,
That the State Board of Education be urged to include provisions in policies
and regulations for AED training in student health education courses and for
regular AED drills, so that students and staff will be better prepared to use
AEDs to save lives in schools and other public places; and be it further
Resolved,
That copies of this resolution be transmitted to The Kimberly Anne Gillary Foundation, The KAYLA Foundation, The Thomas Smith
Memorial Foundation, The Wes Leonard Heart Team, the Michigan High School
Athletic Association, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, and
the State Board of Education as a symbol of our support.

and Warren offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 54.
A
resolution to declare April 2, 2019, as Pay Equity Day in the state of
Michigan.
Whereas,
It has been 56 years since the passage of the Equal Pay Act and even with the
passage of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act just one year later, women
and people of color continue to suffer the consequences of inequitable pay
differentials; and
Whereas,
Over a working lifetime, wage disparity costs the average American woman and
her family, impacting Social Security benefits and pensions; and
Whereas,
Pay discrimination based on any factor is wrong. Employees should be
compensated by their employers based solely on their merits; and
Whereas,
Fair pay strengthens the security of families today and eases future retirement
costs while enhancing the American economy; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body
declare April 2, 2019, as Pay Equity Day in the state of Michigan. We urge
Michigan’s citizens to recognize the full value of women’s skills and
significant contributions to the labor force.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.

Sneller, Warren, Webber and Whitsett offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 55.
A
resolution to declare March 30-April 6, 2019, as Money Smart Week in the state
of Michigan.
Whereas,
The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago coordinates Money Smart Week, a nationwide
annual public awareness and educational campaign that takes place March
30-April 6, 2019; and
Whereas,
Money Smart Week is designed to help consumers better manage their personal
finances through educational programming offered to all demographics and levels
of knowledge and income and covers all facets of personal finance; and
Whereas,
The 2019 Money Smart Week campaign is the kick-off of a full month of
non-solicitous financial literacy education across Michigan; and
Whereas,
Michigan has participated in Money Smart Week for seventeen years through the
collaboration and coordinated effort of hundreds of organizations including
financial institutions, non-profit groups, government
entities, schools, and libraries. The initiative showcases these organizations’
educational resources, strengthens private-public partnerships, engages
the media, and connects people with those who can help them learn how to better
manage their money; and
Whereas,
Personal financial education and money management skills are crucial to enable
Michigan residents to manage credit and debt and be responsible workers, heads
of households, homeowners, investors, entrepreneurs, business leaders, and
productive citizens; and
Whereas, In 2018, the Michigan Money Smart Week campaign
conducted over 550 events and supported tens of thousands of participants of
all ages with money management education in counties throughout the state; and
Whereas,
Money Smart Week highlights the commitment of financial institutions and their
partners throughout the state to strengthen the financial knowledge and
capability of people through financial education; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body
declare March 30-April 6, 2019, as Money Smart Week in the state of Michigan.
We acknowledge the significant contributions of Money Smart Week in our state;
and be it further
Resolved,
That we call on each resident, business, community organization, and unit of
government to observe this week with participation in Money Smart Week programs
and activities.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Robinson, Marino, Elder, Koleszar, Tate, Coleman, Brenda Carter,
Tyrone Carter, Neeley, Garza, Liberati, Guerra, Manoogian, Bellino, LaFave,

Sowerby, Sneller, Wittenberg, Sabo, Shannon, Lasinski, Rabhi, Jones, Kennedy,
Whitsett, Cherry, Brixie, Yancey, Markkanen, Love, Chirkun and Hope offered the
following resolution:
House Resolution No. 56.
A
resolution to urge the Congress of the United States to consider legislation or
other reforms to help stabilize distressed multiemployer pension systems.
Whereas,
Pensions are a leading source of income for retired Michiganders. According to
Michigan’s Department of Treasury, in recent years, pension and annuity
distributions made up more than 33 percent of a retiree’s income. For these individuals,
Social Security income accounted for less than half of that amount—15
percent—of their income in the same period. Across the nation, it is estimated
that more than 30 percent of American retirees have secured their retirement
with defined benefit retirement plans; and
Whereas,
Defined benefit plans, particularly multiemployer plans, are credited with
keeping millions of industrial and post-industrial American laborers from
poverty’s reach, but these systems are coming under increased financial strain
and could collapse. Of the 10 million Americans with multiemployer plans, about
1.5 million are members of a plan considered to be in serious financial
jeopardy. If these plans collapse, a significant portion of their income will
evaporate, and through no fault of their own, members who made pension
contributions for decades in exchange for security in retirement will no longer
receive the benefits they were promised; and
Whereas, Federal legislation that could stabilize
distressed multiemployer pension systems may be necessary for the long-term
well-being of plan members. The Congress of the United States should take the
solvency of these pension plans seriously and investigate ways to stabilize
distressed multiemployer pension plans; and
Whereas,
The national debt has doubled in the last decade and increased pressure has
been placed on the Social Security Trust Fund. To secure a healthy retirement
for retirees and a prosperous future for their children, these issues need to
be addressed alongside multiemployer pension systems; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Congress of the United States
to consider legislation or other reforms to help stabilize distressed
multiemployer pension systems; and be it further
Resolved,
That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United
States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and
the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Local Government and
Municipal Finance.
