“Almighty God, Thank You for these men and women You have chosen to serve and lead our great state of Michigan.
I pray that You bless their families for the sacrifices they make, as these Representatives have to be away and miss activities to serve the needs of constituents and govern.
I pray You anoint these Representatives with wisdom and guidance as they meet to set policy for our State. That in this chamber there will be spirit of unity to a common cause and honor towards one another as great ideas get vetted and debated.
Thank You almighty God for this great state, for its beauty. We pray for Your economic favor over this state and for businesses to be drawn here. That good work would be plentiful and hard work rewarded; for creativity and invention to flourish.
We pray for a supernatural move of Your Spirit over our state; for education and the next generation to thrive… For brotherly love and respect for others to defeat the spirit of hate, racism and divide. I declare in this sacred place of government that it will all begin right here.
May we be an example to other states to learn from as they marvel at what this group is about to achieve.
Keep us all humble as You use us to do great things. We see it; we believe it and declare it…that these people here today are called blessed.
In Your Mighty Name we pray.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Markkanen, Steven Johnson, Green, Eisen, O’Malley, Bellino, LaFave, VanSingel, Paquette, Howell, Wakeman, Marino, Maddock, Meerman, Allor, Chirkun and Rendon offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 87.
A resolution to urge the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove the Michigan gray wolf from the federal endangered and threatened species list.
Whereas, Gray wolves in Michigan have been protected from harm under the federal Endangered Species Act since 1974 when it was determined that gray wolves needed the special protection provided by the act to aid their recovery; and
Whereas, The recovery plan prepared under the federal Endangered Species Act called for a combined population of 100 wolves in Michigan and Wisconsin for five consecutive years for delisting to occur. For removal from the state endangered species list, a viable population was defined as 200 animals for five consecutive years; and
Whereas, Federal protection of the gray wolf is no longer necessary. Gray wolves have made a remarkable recovery, and the combined Michigan and Wisconsin population has far exceeded 100 wolves, with numbers currently being more than 1,000 wolves. Michigan’s population has exceeded 200 animals for more than a decade and has held steady between 600 and 700 wolves for several years now. Michigan’s current gray wolf population is at least 662 wolves. Delisting is long overdue, as Michigan’s wolf population has met all federal recovery goals for delisting, even during short times of state management in Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, both in terms of number of wolves and the stability of those numbers; and
Whereas, Going forward, Michigan is well prepared to manage gray wolves in the best interest of its residents. Michigan has developed a sound management plan that is reviewed periodically by the Michigan Wolf Management Advisory Council. The plan was developed during roundtable discussions by a wide range of stakeholder interests, including some 20 agencies and organizations that represented the diversity of Michigan interests in wolves. These interests included environmental and ecological interests, hunting and trapping interests, livestock-producer interests, public-safety interests, tourism and resource-development interests, tribes, and wolf protection interests. Using this plan and advice from the advisory council, the Department of Natural Resources can continue to maintain a viable gray wolf population while allowing for more flexibility when conflicts between wolves and other species arise; and
Whereas, The gray wolf is an apex predator with no natural enemies. Without management, its population could reach numbers that will be detrimental to other species. Delisting is necessary so that state management may be initiated; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives,
That we urge the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove the gray wolf from
the federal endangered and threatened species list in Michigan; and be it
further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources and Outdoor Recreation.
Reps. Frederick, Allor, Calley, Cherry, Chirkun, Crawford, Haadsma, Hoadley, Hope, Liberati, Rendon, Sabo, Sneller and Warren offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 88.
A resolution to declare May 5-11, 2019, as InfantSee Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The most critical stages of vision development occur in the first year of a child’s life; and
Whereas, Undetected eye and vision problems can lead to permanent vision impairment or loss of life; and
Whereas, One in 10 children is at risk from undiagnosed eye and vision problems; and
Whereas, One in 30 children will be affected by amblyopia, a leading cause of vision loss in people younger than 45 years; and
Whereas, Undetected vision problems can contribute to a decrease in a child’s quality of life and may lead to developmental and behavioral difficulties which impede classroom learning, as well as increase the costs to society; and
Whereas, Early detection of vision problems is the best way to treat and prevent permanent vision impairment; and
Whereas, Member optometrists of the American Optometric Association and The Vision Care Institute of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc., have partnered to create InfantSee, a public health program to provide a one-time, no-cost eye assessment for infants six to twelve months; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 5-11, 2019, as InfantSee Week in the state of Michigan. We commend the members of the Michigan Optometric Association and the profession of optometry for voluntarily dedicating their expertise and services to the infants of Michigan through the InfantSee program; and be it further
Resolved, That we encourage parents to schedule an InfantSee assessment for their infants.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.

House Resolution No. 89.
A resolution to declare May 6-10, 2019, as Teacher Appreciation Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, A strong, effective system of free public school education for all children and youth is essential to our democratic system of government; and
Whereas, From the early days of our democracy, the United States of America and the state of Michigan have made considerable progress in the social, technological, and scientific fields due to our system of free and universal public education; and
Whereas, Much of this progress can be attributed to the qualified and dedicated teachers entrusted with the educational development of our children; and
Whereas, Teachers should be accorded high esteem, reflecting the value our community places on public education; and
Whereas, The importance and impact of teachers on children is known nationwide; and
Whereas, It is appropriate that teachers be recognized for their dedication and commitment to educating their students; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 6-10, 2019, as Teacher Appreciation Week in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Jones, Hammoud, Cherry, Chirkun, Clemente, Garza, Haadsma, Hoadley, Hood, Hope, Kuppa, Manoogian, Pagan, Pohutsky, Rabhi, Shannon, Sneller, Sowerby, Warren and Witwer offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 90.
A resolution to extend best wishes to Muslims in Michigan, the United States, and worldwide, for a joyous and meaningful observance of Ramadan, a holy month of prayer, fasting, charity, and reflection.
Whereas, This occasion is
observed in commitment to the Islamic principles and in remembrance of the
month in which the Holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh); and
Whereas, This month of sacrifice and contemplation begins on or about the evening of Sunday, May 5, 2019, based on the visual sightings of the crescent moon. Ramadan continues until on or about the evening of Thursday, June 4, 2019, with Eid al-Fitr, the celebration of the completion of the month; and
Whereas, Muslims in Michigan, our nation, and around the world will observe Ramadan by fasting, emphasizing self-discipline, worship, charity, and reading the Holy Quran to improve patience, humility, and spirituality; and
Whereas, Muslims in Michigan will put their faith into action by organizing the Ramadan Fight Against Hunger to collect and distribute several tons of food to the state’s hungry and disadvantaged and by volunteering with various humanitarian organizations to give back to our beloved community; and
Whereas, During Ramadan, Muslims spend this period in reflection and prayer while strengthening the bonds of family, friendship, and community. Ramadan is considered the most sacred month of the Islamic calendar; and
Whereas, The Muslim population has been growing in the United States and today’s Muslim American population is a tapestry of ethnic, racial, linguistic, social, and economic groups; and
Whereas, One of the largest populations of Muslims in the United States resides in southeast Michigan and makes meaningful contributions to our state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body extend best wishes to Muslims in Michigan, the United States, and worldwide, for a joyous and meaningful observance of Ramadan, a holy month of prayer, fasting, charity, and reflection.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
