Rev. Willie J. Rideout, III, Pastor of All God's People Ministries in Detroit, offered the following invocation:
"Father in Jesus' name we come to You now with bowed heads and humbled hearts. We come asking, O God, that You will touch our candidates and our colleagues that are here in this state Capitol. We ask that You would touch the Representatives. Father, give them heart and desire and mentoring spirit to help this community--to help this state. Father, let there be peace, joy and happiness. Bring about change. Bring about great communion. Father, we pray that You look upon every person here today--name by name, and one by one. Bless those that desired to be here but just couldn't make it. We pray that Your peace will prevail in everything that they say and do. In Jesus' name we pray. We all say, Amen."

Rep. Jansen moved to amend the bill as follows:
1. Amend page 20, line 15, by striking out all of subsection (3) and inserting:
"(3) If the state receives a financial sanction from the federal government due to the state's failure to meet federal compliance standards for the statewide child support enforcement system or its successor system, then each county that has not fully implemented the system by September 30, 2001 is required to pay a pro rata share of the federal sanction dollars imposed. The pro rata share shall be determined by taking 1/2 of the total sanctions for fiscal year 2001 and prorating it among the counties not fully implemented, based on the county population on October 1, 2000. County population is the latest annual estimate of the county population produced by the U.S. census bureau. The family independence agency may offset payments due the county if the county does not pay the full sanction by October 31, 2001.".

House Resolution No. 316.
A resolution proclaiming April 17 through April 21, 2000, as Character Education Week.
Whereas, Teaching altruistic morals such as respect, integrity, trust, and responsibility is character education. We acknowledge that the strength of our democracy rests upon knowledgeable and compassionate citizens. We also recognize the responsibility that entire communities have in teaching and inspiring civic virtue; and
Whereas, Character education allows for open debate over deep differences, encouraging freedom of thought, accompanied by a willingness to seek the common good. Through open and fair debate, individuals learn to recognize their own inalienable rights and develop a commitment to guard those rights for all citizens; and
Whereas, In developing character in our young citizens, we promote a more compassionate and responsible society, strengthening the fabric of our democracy and creating a nation rich in opportunities and quality of life; and
Whereas, Thomas Jefferson argued that democracy depends upon the cultivation of "public-spiritedness" which will not flourish spontaneously, but must be educated and education prepares our young citizens for their participation in society; and
Whereas, Daniel Webster wrote "Education should...therefore be the first care of a legislature..."; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we commend the work of Character Unlimited of Calhoun county and similar groups across Michigan by proclaiming April 17 through April 21, 2000 as Character Education Week; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Character Unlimited of Calhoun county.

House Resolution No. 317.
A resolution honoring the Michigan State University Men's Basketball Team as the 2000 NCAA National Basketball Champions.
Whereas, It is a pleasure to join with their families, Michigan State University students, and all of East Lansing in celebrating the achievements of the Michigan State University Men's Basketball Team on its wonderful success over the season. With the fine record this squad has attained, which culminated in the capturing of the 2000 NCAA National Basketball Championship title, this group of disciplined student-athletes has generated great pride throughout our state; and
Whereas, Under the leadership of Coach Tom Izzo, senior players Morris Peterson, A.J. Granger, Mateen Cleaves, and Steve Cherry led the way to a successful finish to their 4-years at the university. Due to their efforts and unending dedication to the game, the Michigan State University Spartans are bringing home the university's first basketball championship since 1979. Finishing the season 327, this team has proved what can be accomplished if you work hard enough. In the face of challenge and pressure, the team kept their focus on making their championship dreams come true and accepted nothing less than their best effort; and
Whereas, In "One Shining Moment" the fans and players have come together to celebrate an incredible team's magnificent season. We admire the efforts, team spirit, and preparation of these talented players; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commend MSU Basketball Coach Tom Izzo; assistant coaches Stan Heath, Mike Garland, and Brian Gregory; and players Adam Wolfe, Brandon Smith, David Thomas, Mateen Cleaves, Charlie Bell, Mat Ishbia, Mike Chappell, Steve Cherry, Jason Richardson, Aloysius Anagonye, Andre Hutson, Morris Peterson, A.J. Granger, Jason Andreas, and Adam Ballinger for their outstanding season; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the coaches and players of the Michigan State University Men's Basketball Team as a token of our esteem.

House Resolution No. 318.
A resolution recognizing May 2000 as Neurofibromatosis Awareness Month.
Whereas, Neurofibromatosis is the most common neurological disorder caused by a single gene. It affects more than 100,000 Americans, making it more prevalent than Cystic Fibrosis, hereditary Muscular Dystrophy, Huntington's Disease and Tay Sachs combined; and
Whereas, There are two types of neurofibromatosis, commonly referred to as NF1 and NF2. NF1 is the more common form of neurofibromatosis, affecting approximately one in every four thousand births throughout the world. NF2 affects about one in every forty thousand people worldwide; and
Whereas, Neurofibromatosis affects both sexes equally and is not dependent on racial, geographic, or ethnic factors. Therefore, NF can appear in any family; and
Whereas, This neurological disease can lead to, among other things, disfigurement, blindness, deafness, brain and spinal tumors, dermal tumors, and learning disabilities. Further, the neurofibromatosis gene has been implicated in the development of several of the most common and most serious human cancers; and
Whereas, No cure has been found for neurofibromatosis. At this time, the symptoms and ailments caused by neurofibromatosis can be treated, but not the disease itself; and
Whereas, Since the National Neurofibromatosis Foundation began its research fourteen years ago, great strides have been made to provide hope to those with NF. In the last eight years, two genes have been discovered causing NF; and
Whereas, It is important that support be given to the National Neurofibromatosis Foundation and its Michigan chapter, so that crucial research can continue in its effort to find a cure; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we applaud the National Neurofibromatosis Foundation for their many efforts to find a cure for this disease that afflicts so many citizens across our state and nation; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of the resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Chapter of the National Neurofibromatosis Foundation as evidence of our highest esteem.
Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,
Rep. Raczkowski moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.
The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.

Reps. Allen, Rick Johnson, Bradstreet, Shackleton and Mead offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 319.
A resolution recognizing the contributions of Dr. James D. Johnston to Munson Medical Center in Traverse City, Michigan as recipient of the James Decker Munson Award.
Whereas, The Board of Trustees of Munson Medical Center conferred the James Decker Munson Award upon James D. Johnston, M.D. in recognition of his pioneering effort to develop the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Munson Medical Center, his dedication to build a planning framework for the creation of Munson's high quality medical staff, and his continuing devotion to Munson through more than 20 years of service to the Munson Medical Center Board of Trustees; and
Whereas, His leadership and personal initiative to establish the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit as a regional center in 1972 propelled Munson to the cutting edge of neonatal intensive care nationally. Through coordinated efforts with the Michigan Department of Public Health, new standards, policies, procedures, and infant care protocols were established in laws and regulations and continue to save infant lives statewide; and
Whereas, The families of northern Michigan benefitted enormously from the creation of the NICU at Munson. The infant death rate in the region dropped from 35 to 40 infant deaths per thousand before 1972, to 15 infant deaths after the first year, and dropped again by half to 8 infant deaths per thousand after the second year of the unit's operation. Even today, the Grand Traverse region remains substantially ahead of the state average for infant mortality; and
Whereas, Throughout his private practice from 1962 to 1986, Dr. Johnston held many leadership positions--he served as Chief of Pediatrics and later as Chief of Staff. During his tenure as Chief of Staff in the late seventies and early eighties, he led the development of a medical staff plan that remains a hallmark for quality of care and efficient implementation of medical resources and expertise; and
Whereas, His dedication to Munson continued through his 20 years as a member of the Munson Medical Center Board of Trustees from 1980 to 1999. He was elected as Chairman of the Board from 1989 to 1991, served as Vice Chairman in 1988, Treasurer for 1986 and 1987, and Munson Healthcare Corporate member since 1989. He has also been an active member on many committees throughout his term on the board; and
Whereas, It is befitting that Dr. Johnston is recognized for his pioneering dedication and visionary contributions to the hospital. Munson Medical Center was named the top hospital in the nation with the 2000 National Quality Health Care Award which was presented by the National Committee for Quality Health Care and Modern Healthcare magazine. The National Quality Health Care Award, co-sponsored by Modern Healthcare magazine, is given annually to a provider whose demonstrated goal is improving health care through high quality performance and leadership in the development of innovation; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize James D. Johnston, M.D., as he receives the James Decker Munson Award for his pioneering efforts, career achievements, and leadership in pediatric and neonatal care and quality health care; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Dr. James D. Johnston as an expression of our respect and appreciation for his professional contributions that substantially improved the lives of Michigan residents and especially the families of northern Michigan.
Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,
Rep. Raczkowski moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.
The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.

Tabor, Martinez, Prusi, Kilpatrick, Rocca, Hansen, Ehardt, Middaugh, Scranton, Tesanovich, LaSata, Faunce, Shulman, Kowall, Julian, DeVuyst, Cassis, Gosselin, Raczkowski, Caul, Shackleton, Mead, Mortimer, Van Woerkom, Spade, DeHart, Switalski, Rick Johnson, Kelly, Cherry, Rison, Bishop, Vander Roest, Schermesser, Allen, Jellema, Kuipers, Jansen, Koetje, Toy, Sheltrown, Minore, Green, Kukuk, Sanborn, Pappageorge, Jelinek, Neumann, Jamnick, Wojno, LaForge, DeRossett, Birkholz, Howell, Brater, Baird, Voorhees and Garcia offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 320.
A resolution honoring Waverly High School as the 2000 Class A Basketball State Champions.
Whereas, That it is both a pleasure and privilege to join with the students, teachers, family members, and community members in celebrating the achievements of Coach Phil Odlum and the Waverly High School basketball team on their overwhelming success during the 1999-2000 season. With the outstanding record this team achieved, which has culminated in the 2000 Class A Basketball State Championship, this group of disciplined student-athletes has generated great pride throughout the area; and
Whereas, Much to the delight of their loyal fans, the Waverly Warriors have also earned the respect of their opponents and prep sports fans throughout the state because of their determination, talent, and repeated displays of teamwork. As opponents have discovered throughout the season, this is a team that brings unity and positive thinking to all levels of competition. In the face of adversity and pressure, this is a group of young men who maintain their focus on making their dreams a reality and accepting nothing less than their very best effort; and
Whereas, Every coach and player carried that team squarely and firmly on his shoulders and should, therefore, be given such credit. These men include:
Phil Odlum, Head Coach Ed Dutcher, Assistant Coach Bob Harla, Assistant Coach
Marcus Taylor, Captain/Guard Cortney Scott, Captain/Center/Forward Michael Bailey, Guard
Michael Farhat, Forward William Merrill, Forward Justin Grinnell, Guard
Christopher Miller, Guard Melvin White, Center/Forward Terry Reddick, Forward
Lance Wilson, Forward Bryan Smalley, Forward Brian Anderson, Forward
Dante Adams, Guard Michael Adams, Guard Justin Ingram, Forward
Travis Neller, Guard Tom Cornelius, Center/Forward
; and
Whereas, Winning a title such as this is never a fluke. While anything can happen in a single game, all teams show their true abilities and dedication over a long season or a difficult tournament. However, what truly distinguishes a team as the best of the best, is usually the effort that appears in practice, far removed from the excitement of game day. We admire the efforts, team spirit, and preparation of these talented young men; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we celebrate the accomplishment of the Waverly High School basketball team as the 2000 Class A State Champions; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of the resolution be transmitted to the Waverly High School Class A 2000 Basketball State Champions as a token of our highest esteem.
Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,
Rep. Raczkowski moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.
