Father John K. Lardas, Pastor of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Troy, offered the following invocation:
"Blessed is God of our fathers, now and forever and unto the ages of ages, Amen.
O Lord, our God, in the person of Christ a rule of life was established on the earth when He said, 'render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto God that which is God's.'
The Apostle Paul conveying this message to the Romans stated, 'let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.'
Dear Lord, King David cried out, 'Praise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord! Blessed be the name of the Lord, from this time forth and forevermore! From the rising of the sun to its going down, the Lord's name is to be praised.'
As the new day has begun, bless the Representatives of this great state of Michigan. Bless their decisions on education and enlighten them to know that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Bless their decisions on life and illuminate their souls to know 'from the womb I have known you.' Bless their decisions on taxes that they may see themselves as 'God's ministers attending continually to this very thing.' Bless their decisions to look out for the needy for You, O Lord, 'raises the poor out of the dust and lifts the needy out of the ash heap.' Bless their lives, Lord, as leaders of this state that they may bare the 'fruits of Your Spirit which is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.'
May they be confident, Lord, in Your judgment. May they be still, and know that You are God and will be exalted among the nations, and will be exalted in the earth! Amen."

______
Rep. Middaugh, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted against this bill as I believe that decisions such as this ought to be made at the local level."
Rep. Clark, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I, Irma Clark, cast a 'No' vote on SB 198 because it eliminates residency from our charter. I cannot support voting against Home Rule for my city."
Rep. Hardman, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I strongly support Home Rule for all of Michigan. SB 198 was passed taking away that Home Rule as it applies to residency for Detroiters. It alters our charter which should only be done by the voters in Detroit and other cities."
Rep. Reeves, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
My no vote on Senate Bill 198 (H-10) is representative of my continued support for local control and Home Rule. Any attempt to control and mandate a local's ability to govern themselves is questionable. Residency is a local issue which should be decided by the local governments."
Rep. Garza, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on Senate Bill 198 because it violates Home Rule and residency requirements. This is an issue that should be dealt with on the local level, not dictated by the state."
Rep. Cameron Brown, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
My no vote on Senate Bill 198 is due to my belief that the issue of residency should rest in the cradle of home rule. As a former city commissioner, I respect the jurisdiction of local government to decide for or against a residency requirement for employment."
Rep. Vaughn, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Colleagues I voted no on this bill because it is a direct slap in the fact of home rule and local control.
If the people of a local area decide that they want a residency requirements then that is their right to do so.
If you work for the people, you should not fear living among those same people. My City, Detroit has a strong residency requirement for City employees especially police and fire. We want our police to live in our city because we cannot afford another army of occupation that in large part caused the 1967 Detroit rebellion. We certainly don't need fire personnel that would have to drive many miles in case they are needed in the City for an emergency.
In Detroit we have been harmed by the police so called 'stress' unit. We cannot turn back the clock. Residency is important. Forward ever, backwards never!
Thank you Mr. Speaker."
Rep. Stallworth, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I rise to oppose this legislation because of its disproportionate impact on the citizens of the City of Detroit. Not many years have passed since the streets of many Detroit neighborhoods were patrolled by police officers who had no direct relationship with the citizens they pledged to protect. The lack of that relationship frequently led to undue harassment, persecution and physical brutality. Black communities cannot afford to have an armed army of non-residents responsible for our safety. How can we feel safe? History teaches us we will not be!
Fundamentally, every employer should be given the flexibility to require basic provisions for its employees. Every prospective employee has the option to accept or reject employment based on the employers requirement. And of course, local communities must be given the ability to govern themselves. Although I applaud the willingness of the Speaker to accept language which at least provides for a residency requirement to be part of a collective bargaining agreement, the requirement which restricts a local community from having a governing charter which includes residency is I believe another significant measure to erode local control. For the City of Detroit, it is a economic and quality of life issue. Yes, we should be attempting to provide sound support for police and fire-fighters, but the best way to do that is through salary and wage negotiations, not to attack a local community's ability to govern itself."
Rep. Raczkowski moved that the bill be given immediate effect.
The question being on the motion made by Rep. Raczkowski,
Rep. Kilpatrick demanded the yeas and nays.
The demand was supported.

House Resolution No. 225.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact the Secret Evidence Repeal Act.
Whereas, Several years ago, in an effort to increase security in our country in the face of increasing concerns over terrorism, Congress enacted laws that changed the process of judicial review for people accused of certain crimes. A key component of these acts was the establishment of a new standard of evidence that permits the admission of evidence that does not have to be revealed to the person facing charges. Under these secret evidence provisions, an alien can be sanctioned or deported without a fair opportunity to refute charges; and
Whereas, The admission of secret evidence in any court situation is contrary to the central tenets of our legal system. Access to a fair trial is one of the cornerstones of our country. The types of crimes at issue cannot change the way we approach the administration of justice. A person accused of crimes must be fully aware of the accusations and able to respond openly; and
Whereas, The use of unfair practices and standards in any type of court is disturbing to all who understand the importance of true justice in all of our institutions, but especially to the new immigrants who have come to America precisely because of our sense of justice. The secret evidence policies serve to break this faith; and
Whereas, Congress is currently considering legislation, the Secret Evidence Repeal Act, that would rectify the problems and restore due process. This bill seeks to ensure that no alien can be removed, denied a benefit under our immigration and naturalization laws, or otherwise deprived of liberty because of evidence kept secret from the person; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact the Secret Evidence Repeal Act; 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 Criminal Law and Corrections.

House Resolution No. 226.
A resolution to honor the memory of Marjorie E. Gartz, who passed away Wednesday, October 6, 1999.
Whereas, Marjorie was born on August 20, 1929. From the beginning, Marjorie exhibited a real zest for life. This was apparent in any activity upon which she embarked. She put all of her energy into each undertaking; and
Whereas, On June 1, 1952, Marjorie married her true love, Terry. Together they settled in Westland where they raised five children, Glen, Kevin, Nora, Susan, and Bruce. She was a devoted wife to her husband and intensely committed to her children. She was proud to share in the responsibility of caring for her children when they were ill, disciplining them when necessary, giving them encouragement, and also managing the household; and
Whereas, In addition to her responsibilities at home, Marjorie worked at various positions within the City of Westland. Some of her positions with the city included the Finance Department and the Clerk's Office. She also worked as a Secretary in the Westland Police Department at a time when there were no female police officers. She was asked to go on raids with the police officers when there was a need for a female presence. While working and raising a family, Marjorie earned her Bachelor of Science Degree from Madonna University. Marge continued to work for the City of Westland until her retirement; and
Whereas, Marge was a true friend to those who knew her. She was also a dedicated volunteer in various civic activities as well as in politics. To those individuals in whom she truly believed, she would give 150% to their campaign. Her numerous civic activities were just as important to her. The fruits of her labor were apparent in everything she set her mind to; and
Whereas, Marjorie served as President of the Elderly Housing Commission in the City of Westland from August 19, 1980, to October 6, 1999. She also served as the President of the Elderly Housing Service Corporation from April 11, 1989, to October 6, 1999. Her commitment to the Thomas F. Taylor Towers senior high-rise was unmatched. As President of the Elderly Housing Corporation, Marge made sure Thomas F. Taylor Towers was not just a senior high-rise, it was a place to call home; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body and the people of the State of Michigan - with deep sadness - honor and recognize the life of Marjorie E. Gartz. Because of her dedication to and love of Thomas F. Taylor Towers, their library is formally dedicated and will forever be known as the Marjorie E. Gartz Memorial Library; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Marjorie's family and the Thomas F. Taylor Towers of Westland, Michigan as an expression of our deepest sympathy for their loss. There will be a tremendous void in the City of Westland because of the loss of Marge.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

House Resolution No. 227.
A resolution to honor the memory of Lynn D. Allen, former Oakland County Clerk and Register of Deeds for 30 years, who passed away November 3, 1999.
Whereas, Lynn Allen, a lifelong resident of Oakland County, attended the University of Detroit, went on to Central Michigan University, and graduated from Northern Illinois College of Optometry with his Bachelor of Science degree and Doctorate degree in Optometry; and
Whereas, Lynn was dedicated to the Oakland County community. He was elected Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds in 1968; and
Whereas, In 30 years of dedication to the people of Oakland County, Lynn D. Allen worked in the public arena during an era of great change. With Lynn's help in design and implementation, the world's first on-line computer court system was created along with the first on-line system for campaign finance reporting. With the personal sense of duty that Lynn D. Allen brought to work each day, he met the challenges of his duties with enthusiasm and a genuine interest in efficiency in public service. This has been deeply appreciated, both by citizens and organizations in Oakland County that have benefited directly from Lynn D. Allen's work; and
Whereas, Lynn has been honored with numerous awards in his 30 years of public service, including Jaycees Man of the Year, the American Legion's Americanism Award, the Michigan Clerks' Association honor of Clerk of the Year, and Michigan House and Senate concurrent resolutions paying homage to Lynn; and
Whereas, Lynn's accomplishments are no surprise to those who knew him best. He approached life with a smile and put people first. This was apparent with his two daughters Susan and Bunny and wife Mary Ann; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body join with the citizens of Oakland County in saluting Lynn Allen in acknowledgment of his legacy in public service. It is with deepest sympathy that we note his passing and honor his dedication and service; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the family of Lynn D. Allen as a token of our esteem.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Hart, DeWeese, Pappageorge, Jansen, Lemmons, Vear, Vander Roest, Van Woerkom, DeRossett, Julian, DeVuyst, Gosselin, Birkholz, Mortimer, Bishop, Kelly, Kukuk, Vaughn, Rocca, Toy, Scranton, Allen, Kuipers, Voorhees, Garcia and Richner offered the following concurrent resolution:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 72.
A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to include individual and business tax credits and deductions for contributions to poverty-fighting programs and organizations in assessing compliance with Maintenance of Effort requirements under the federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996.
Whereas, The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 brought sweeping changes to how our country deals with needy families. Key components of this effort to reshape our state and federal approach to assisting people in need are the funding channeled through block grants and strong incentives for people to find work or pursue meaningful job training; and
Whereas, In order for a state to maintain eligibility for its block grant funding, each state must demonstrate that it is spending at least 80 percent of the state's historical level of spending on AFDC and related programs. Qualified state expenditures include state money for child care, educational programs, cash assistance, and related activities. If a state does not meet the Maintenance of Effort threshold, the block grant amounts are reduced and penalties can be assessed; and
Whereas, In an effort to do all that is possible to encourage people to rebuild their lives and to maximize resources, it seems reasonable to recognize formally the significant impact of individuals and businesses. The value of private poverty-fighting initiatives should be factored into state calculations to meet the Maintenance of Effort requirements. This added encouragement could prove most beneficial for the states and our needy families; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to include individual and business tax credits and deductions for contributions to poverty-fighting programs and organizations in assessing compliance with Maintenance of Effort requirements under the federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996; 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.
