"Dear Heavenly Father, we are so thankful Lord for this beautiful day You have given us. We are thankful Lord for all the things You have so fully bestowed upon us. Lord, we are thankful for this system of government that we can operate in, that we can agree to disagree, and, Lord, that we could finally come up with a final product. Lord, I pray that You would be with our country today. Be with those that are running for the President, Lord; pray that we get a quick resolve, and Lord, that are country can soon be stable again. Lord, I also want to pray during this Christmas season and I want to thank You for Your son Jesus who came and died on the cross and was born this season. Thank You Lord for giving Him to us that we may have a way of salvation. Lord, we also pray for this body as we deliberate today. Lord, give us wisdom. Lord, give us patience. Also give us respect for one another as we do about our duty. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen."

(a) The person is a noninstitutionalized Michigan resident 65 years of age or older.
(b) The person has a household income at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines.
(c) The person is not currently a medicaid recipient.
(d) Excluding medicare supplemental insurance or a federal program described in section 9(2), the person is not covered by other insurance that provides prescription drug coverage.
(2) The department shall give initial enrollment priority to applicants who in the 12 months preceding the effective date of this act participated in the MEPPS. A second enrollment priority will be afforded to applicants with annual household incomes up to 150% of the federal poverty guidelines who received a senior prescription tax credit in former section 273 of the income tax act of 1967, 1967 PA 281. Enrollment in the EPIC program for eligible applicants who formerly participated in the MEPPS program shall take effect not later than October 1, 2001. Enrollment in the EPIC program for eligible applicants who formerly received a senior prescription tax credit shall take effect not later than December 1, 2001. Other applicants with incomes up to 200% of the federal poverty guidelines will be enrolled contingent upon available money.
(3) An individual or married couple meeting the basic eligibility criteria established in subsection (1) may apply for enrollment in the EPIC program as follows:
(a) Submit an annual application to the department, or the department's designee, that, at a minimum, attests to the age, residence, and household income of the individual applicant or couple, if married. A nonrefundable administrative fee must be included with the application. The administrative fee is $25.00.
(b) Upon notification of eligibility, the enrollee may access the EPIC program by meeting the cost-sharing obligation through a copayment on each prescription that does not exceed 20% of the cost of the prescription being purchased, with a maximum monthly copayment amount calculated based on 1 of the following:
(i) If the applicant's household income is at or below 100% of the federal poverty guidelines, the monthly copayment is 1/12 of 1% of household income as established during the annual application process.
(ii) If the applicant's household income is at or below 125% but greater than 100% of the federal poverty guidelines, the monthly copayment is 1/12 of 2% of household income as established during the annual application process.

(iv) If the applicant's household income is at or below 175% but greater than 150% of the federal poverty guidelines, the monthly copayment is 1/12 of 4% of household income as established during the annual application process.
(v) If the applicant's household income is at or below 200% but greater than 175% of the federal poverty guidelines, the monthly copayment is 1/12 of 5% of household income as established during the annual application process.
(4) Subsequent to enrollment in the EPIC program, an applicant who has a household income at or below 100% of the federal poverty guidelines shall be referred to the local family independence agency for assessment of eligibility for medicaid. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as mandating that an applicant found eligible for medicaid must enroll in that program in lieu of enrollment in the EPIC program.
Sec. 4. (1) The department shall establish an expedited enrollment process or provide an emergency voucher if an otherwise eligible EPIC applicant immediately needs to obtain a medically necessary prescription.
(2) The department shall give an applicant enrolled under subsection (1) a temporary EPIC program eligibility card or an emergency voucher that is valid for up to 90 days from the issue date.
(3) Eligibility requirements for emergency vouchers shall not be more restrictive than the requirements established for the Michigan emergency pharmaceutical program for seniors previously funded in the annual appropriation for the department.
Sec. 5. Except as otherwise specified in this section, if an enrollee chooses to have a prescription filled with a brand name drug when a recognized generic drug is available, a copayment is required. For the initial year of operation, the copayment amount is $15.00. For subsequent years, the amount of a copayment applied under this section may be established by the legislature. Nothing in this section shall be construed as allowing therapeutic substitution. The department shall develop a mechanism, with the advice of the advisory committee established in section 7, that will specify when drugs should be dispensed as written and not subject to the $15.00 copayment. These recommendations shall be presented to the senate and house of representatives appropriations committees not later than September 1, 2001.
Sec. 6. In providing program benefits, the department may do all of the following:
(a) Enter into a contract with a private individual, corporation, or agency to manage the EPIC program. A contract entered into under this subdivision shall be awarded through a competitive bidding process.
(b) Use procedures and rebate amounts specified under section 1927 of title XIX of the social security act, 42 U.S.C. 1396r-8, to secure quarterly rebates from pharmaceutical manufacturers for outpatient drugs dispensed to participants in EPIC.
(c) For products distributed by the pharmaceutical manufacturers not providing quarterly rebates as listed in subdivision (b), require preauthorization.
Sec. 7. (1) To assist in implementing this act, the department may utilize the office of services to the aging, area agencies on aging, senior citizens centers, or other senior focused entities, to provide outreach, enrollment assistance, and education services to potentially eligible seniors for both the EPIC and medicaid programs.
(2) To assist in determining the coverage appropriate under the provisions of this act, the department shall establish an advisory committee. The committee shall consist of consumer representatives, members with knowledge in the areas of pharmacology, geriatrics, development and review of budgetary issues and practice, and policy development, and 1 member of each appropriations committee, or his or her designee, as appointed by the respective chairpersons of the senate and house of representatives appropriations committees. The advisory committee shall meet at least once each year.
Sec. 8. The department shall provide quarterly reports to the senate and house appropriations committees, and the senate and house fiscal agencies, that include quantified data as to the number of program applicants and enrollees, the amount of expenditures, and the number of enrollees subsequently found eligible for medicaid. Each report shall also contain an estimate of whether or not the current rate of expenditures will exceed the existing amount of money appropriated for the EPIC program in the current fiscal year. If the estimate indicates that the program would end the year in deficit, the department and the department of management and budget shall take 1 or more of the following actions:
(a) Request a supplemental appropriation for the EPIC program.
(b) Request a transfer of spending authority from any surplus appropriation within the department.
(c) Suspend further enrollment in the EPIC program.
(d) Increase copayments for new applicants. In no case shall an adjustment in program cost sharing result in a cost to an eligible senior in excess of 5% of the eligible senior's household income.
Sec. 9. (1) The program created by this act is not an entitlement. Benefits are limited to the level supported by the money explicitly appropriated in this or other acts for the EPIC program.
(2) Except as allowed in section 3(4), the EPIC program is a payer of last resort. If the federal government establishes a pharmaceutical assistance program that covers EPIC eligible seniors under medicare or another program, the EPIC program shall cover only eligible costs not covered by the federal program. This subsection does not require payment by a local prescription drug discount program or a local emergency prescription drug assistance program for a prescription drug covered under the EPIC program.
(3) The EPIC program shall utilize an automated pharmacy claims adjudication and prospective drug utilization review system. This automated system shall contain those edits necessary to reduce the risk of adverse drug reactions in the enrolled population.
(4) The pharmacy dispensing fee payable under the EPIC program shall be equal to the current medicaid dispensing fee.
Enacting section 1. Section 273 of the income tax act of 1967, 1967 PA 281, MCL 206.273, is repealed effective December 31 of the year in which the EPIC program is implemented. It is the intent of the legislature that an individual who has expenses for prescription drugs that qualify for a credit under section 273 of the income tax act of 1967, 1967 PA 281, MCL 206.273, on or after January 1 and before December 31 of the year in which the EPIC program is implemented, shall be allowed to claim the credit based on those expenses for that period. In addition, the MEPPS program shall continue until the EPIC program is fully operational.
Enacting section 2. This act takes effect October 1, 2001.
Enacting section 3. Section 1695 of 2000 PA 296 is repealed.
Third: That the Senate and House agree to the title of the bill to read as follows:
A bill to create certain prescription programs relating to the elderly; to enhance access to prescription drugs to certain elderly residents of the state; to prescribe the powers and duties of certain state departments and agencies; and to repeal acts and parts of acts.

In The Chair: Scranton
Rep Vander Roest, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted 'yes' on Senate Bill 1278 (EPIC) the first time the House took it up for consideration on December 7, 2000 (House Journal No. 70, page 2615).
I voted 'no' this time because I believe this is not our best effort. We can do better for Michigan's senior population. I have already began the process of drafting legislation to make improvements to this program because as written numerous seniors that are in need of assistance will fall through the cracks.
I believe the following questions have not been answered by this legislation:
1. How will a couple be treated under this program where the husband is over 65 years of age and the wife is not? Will the wife have to purchase her own private insurance?
2. Under the Senior Prescription Drug Tax Credit is any outside health/medical insurance coverage be deducted from the Gross Household income (helps to serve as an incentive to purchase insurance coverage)?
3. If a person is one dollar over the household income limit are they ineligible for EPIC? Or, is there a sliding scale that for every dollar over the limit the benefit is reduced equally?
4. Where is the safety net for seniors (over 65) who have enormous monthly prescription costs and have gone back to work to help alleviate those expenses (should we look at need....perhaps use a percentage income)?
5. What is the incentive for the individual over 65 years of age, to see employment at the risk of losing eligibility for this program?
6. Are we limiting this program under the threat that the Federal government will withhold financial assistance over Michigan maintenance of efforts in a current program like EPIC?
7. Why did we do away with the policy of requiring the first 5 percent of an individual's prescription cost be their responsibility and then, in addition, have a program that helps the low-income seniors?
The legislation that I introduce next year will address these concerns. I ask those who want to work to make Michigan's prescription drug coverage the best in the nation to work with me in 2001. Together we can work to protect all of Michigan's vulnerable seniors."

Reps. Baird, Jacobs, Callahan and Brater, having reserved the right to explain their nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted NO on upholding the ruling of the Chair for the following reasons:
House Bill 4530 (CR-1) is not properly before this body because it contains a number of items that were not contained in either the House or Senate versions of this bill, and as such, that are not points of difference. In particular, this conference report contains an appropriation of $1,000,000 that is to be used for any of a long list of purposes by the State Police. An appropriation was never part of and was never under consideration in either version of this bill prior to its sudden appearance in this conference report. The conference report also adds other provisions that were not points of difference, including the creation of a concealed weapons enforcement fund, new provisions regarding the forfeiture of firearms, and provisions including application kits. The inclusion of items that are not points of difference clearly violates Joint Rule 8 of the House and Senate.
Worse yet, the reason that the proponents of this legislation added this appropriation in violation of our body's rules is inappropriate and insidious. They apparently believe that in doing so they can circumvent Article II, Section 9 of the Michigan Constitution, and silence the voices of the majority of the people of this State.
The Michigan Constitution provides that the people of this state are supposed to have a right of recourse when the Legislature takes legislative action that is contrary to the will of the people of this State. That constitutional right is the right of 'referendum,' and this conference report attempts to take away that right through the disingenuous addition of a handful of appropriations into this bill."
Rep. Switalski, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted against sustaining the chair's ruling that consideration of this conference report did not violate the rules of the House. Joint Rule 8 limits conferees to points of difference between the two houses. Yet the conference report included changes and additions to the bill which were not points of difference between the House and Senate versions. At the 11th hour the conferees changed the bill to make it into an appropriation bill, adding $1 million, for the sole purpose of eliminating the ability of citizens to petition for a referendum on the law. This subterfuge is a misuse of Article II, Section 9 of the State Constitution. The Chair is wrong to allow the majority to so cynically manipulate both our rules and the Constitution and to grossly violate both their spirit and letter."
Rep. Dennis, having reserved the right to explain her nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

This bill also violates Article IV, Section 24, which prohibits a law from embracing more than one object, and which prohibits the Legislature from altering a bill so as to change its original purpose. This conference report constitutes a change of purpose of this bill. This conference report adds an additional purpose to this bill: the purpose of making an appropriation.
As legislators we have taken an oath to uphold the entire Constitution, and not just bits and pieces as we find convenient."
Rep. Callahan, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted NO on HB 4530 (CR-1) for the following reasons:
The Legislature today is passing this legislation in a cowardly way, under what they hope is the cover of darkness of the lame duck session.
The proponents of this legislation kept the specific contents of today's conference report so under wraps prior to this vote, that nary a member of this body has even had a chance to read the actual legislation that we are voting on today.

I support the constitutional right of Michigan citizens to keep and bear arms under Article I, Section 6 of the Michigan Constitution, but I also support the other constitutional rights of our citizens. As legislators we have taken an oath to uphold the entire Constitution, and not just bits and pieces as we find convenient."
Rep. Wojno, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:

Rep. Switalski, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
In addition to being wrong on the merits, this bill violates the State Constitution by masquerading as an appropriation bill in order to circumvent Article II, Section 9 and disenfranchise the citizens for Michigan from their right to a referendum. It also violates Article IV, Section 24 by embracing more than one subject in a single bill, and by changing the original purpose of the bill. The bill elimination of the gun Board's discretion is unwise and not in the interests of Michigan's citizens."
Rep. Gieleghem, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
While I have several concerns about the message that we as a legislature are sending by passing this bill in the dark of night, during a lame duck session, I am mostly concerned that this bill completely erodes all elements of local control when it comes to the issuance of Concealed Weapons permits. I support the Constitution of both the United States and the State of Michigan, but I also support the will of local communities for self governance.
Currently local counties have local county gun boards, comprised of the prosecutor, sheriff and a representative from the local State Police. If people want changes in the local county gun board's policies, they should work to elect local leaders that share their values on that issue. This bill now usurps the ability to prevent local officials from making decisions to protect their community. Further, a little known provision allows prosecutors to be replaced by firearm instructors as a member of the local gun board.
Lastly, the addition of an appropriations component on this bill is an inappropriate end-run around the people's constitutional right to seek a referendum on this bill."
Rep. Martinez, having reserved the right to explain her nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I am opposed to the passage of this legislation for several reasons, including violations of good public policy and House procedure.
First, on the issues of procedure, my colleagues have determined that they must, in the lame duck session, pass legislation that they know the majority of the citizens of this state oppose. These Members did not have the courage to pass this legislation before they stood for election.
Secondly, the members of the House and Senate have, in my opinion, violated the Rules of the House, the Michigan Constitution and the rights of the people. In their commitment to prevent a public vote to stop the implementation of this act, the Members added an appropriation to a bill that did not previously contain an appropriation.
This action violates the rules of the House regarding issues that may be considered by a conference committee. It also violates Article IV, Section 24 of the Michigan Constitution, which prohibits the Legislature from changing the purpose of a bill in title and object.
The people's right to petition the action of the Legislature is constitutionally guaranteed. I am opposed to the cynical action that this House has taken to deny them that right. I believe this action is indefensible, in either the Court of Claims or the court of public opinion.
Regarding the content of the bill, I disagree with the premise, stated by the Sponsors of the legislation, that an armed society is a polite society. They state that crime has decreased in States where more people carry concealed weapons. In fact, crime rates have decreases nationally, but in State with liberal permitting of concealed weapons legislation, crime rates have fallen less than the national average.
A majority of my constituents who have contacted me on this issue have asked me to oppose 'putting more guns on our streets'. They know that more guns on our streets will lead to more guns violence, more theft of guns, and more incidents of needless death and injury.
Finally I believe that it is time that we, as a society, stop teaching the message of violence to our young people. So long as adults preach gun violence as the solution to disagreements, our young people will learn that lesson, and the violence in our schools and among young people will continue to plague our communities."
Rep. Jellema, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Leaving aside the question of whether or not the conferees produced a bill better than that sent to the Senate by the House, the addition by a conference committee of a $1 million appropriation to HB 4530, which contained no appropriation is, at best, a questionable stretch of the rules governing conference committees. Those rules limit discussion to points of difference.
More important, however, the inclusion of the appropriation is apparently a deliberate move to set a higher threshold for a voter initiative. If bearing arms is a right, so too is free speech and free expression. This legislature has added insult to injury, first, by choosing to take up this important legislation in its lame duck session with no time for legislators or voters to completely review and discuss changes made by the conference committee; and second, by allowing the conference committee to deliberately take action which further diminishes the right of voters to express their views on this very important issue. For those reasons I voted no."
Rep. Vander Roest moved that Reps. Bishop and DeVuyst be excused temporarily from today's session.
The motion prevailed.

House Resolution No. 468.
A resolution declaring March 2001 as Ethnic and Cultural Heritage Month in Michigan.
Whereas, The culture of the people of the State of Michigan has been continually renewed and enriched by the many different people who have chosen to come here over many decades and become citizens; and
Whereas, Each individual brings a part of his or her own heritage which, over time, becomes part of our common heritage leading us to become a more united people; and
Whereas, Michigan is fortunate to count among its population, large numbers of citizens of numerous descents, who together make important contributions to our economy and society through their commitment to numerous professions, commerce, family, and the arts; and
Whereas, We must foster an interest in the heritage, culture, and history of all peoples and pass that understanding and knowledge on to the next generation awakening in every American community awareness of the quality of the contributions that all types of ethnicities can bring to our modern American lifestyle; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2001 as Ethnic and Cultural Heritage Month in the State of 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.

House Resolution No. 469.
A resolution honoring Judge Gus Cifelli upon his retirement as District Court Judge of Oakland County.
Whereas, It is with the utmost respect and admiration that we honor Judge Gus Cifelli upon the occasion of his retirement from the bench of the 48th Judicial District Court of Michigan. It is a privilege to recognize this gentleman who has contributed so much of his time and talents to benefit our legal system; and
Whereas, Judge Cifelli established his dedication and commitment to excellence as a Marine during World War II by earning the Purple Heart medal. In 1950, Gus was the heavyweight boxing champion at Notre Dame, where he graduated Cum Laude with a degree in philosophy. His drive and determination as a member of the Detroit Lions Football team culminated in the squad's capture of the 1957 championship ring. In 1966, Gus graduated from the University of Detroit Law School. Judge Cifelli has been a champion of justice from the court bench since 1973, exemplifying decisiveness and compassion as he served as judge of the 48th District Court; and
Whereas, Gus, as he is known by countless friends who save his title for use only in the courtroom, has not only served as a sagacious public official, but has also been an active member of the community. In 1995, he received the Italian American of the Year award and, in 1997 was recognized with the Humanitarian and Law Enforcement of the Year awards; and
Whereas, Judge Cifelli once again displays his devotion, stepping down to enjoy the well-deserved leisure time with his wife, Gladys, his two daughters, Shelley Czeizler and Debra Drownlow, and his son, Stephen Czeizler; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of the legislative body extend our respect to the Honorable Gus Cifelli, a Judge of Michigan's 48th District Court in Oakland County, for his years of loyal and faithful service to our legal standards. May he know of our admiration and warmest wishes for continued happiness and success in every endeavor; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Honorable Gus Cifelli as a small token of our esteem.

House Resolution No. 470.
A resolution honoring Reverend Dr. Ruth Maness.
Whereas, It is with great pleasure that we honor Reverend Dr. Ruth Maness. She is a woman who has spent her life teaching, preaching, learning, writing, and praying for everyone who has come into her life. Dr. Maness heard the voice of our Lord call her to serve in His name, and for 71 years she has done just that; and
Whereas, Reverend Dr. Ruth Maness attributes the good things in her life to being born poor. On any given day, you will hear her say "Nobody ever gave us anything. Work is all I know and that's good.". She worked three jobs at a time and she may still struggle with expected bills, but "poor" would be a stretch today. Ruth's life is full. The lives she has touched will forever be a testimony of her faith in God and her mission to serve; and
Whereas, Ruth grew up in Hopewell, Virginia. Her mother and father were hard working and loving parents. She learned at an early age that we are all God's children and He does not make junk. She has always spoke and preached on the ills of prejudice. Sister Maness has never spoke a negative word about anyone. She felt her ministry was to teach those who couldn't read or write. She had no time or desire to worry about the color of one's skin; and
Whereas, When Reverend Dr. Ruth Maness came to reside in Lansing, Michigan, she worked as a dental assistant for 12 years. She then went to work in the Secretary of State's office. In the evenings, she worked as a teaching assistant in an adult education program in the Lansing schools. Sister Maness went to Michigan State University and was ordained from the Billy Graham School of Evangelism. She also attended Inter-Faith Association of Higher Learning and received her doctorate of metaphysics; and
Whereas, In 1998, Ruth was proud to be included in a book of mediations called "Sister Strength" compiled by the Reverend Suzan Johnson Cook. She is the only woman with two selection, "He Lives In Me" and "Cast Your Net Into the Deep". When she was 75 years young, she began working with the Reverend Rodney Patterson to create the Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church of Lansing, and for the last 5 years has been a pillar of that church. For all her good works, Dr. Maness has truly been blessed; and
Whereas, We would be remiss if we did not mention her beloved Edith, the niece of Dr. Maness. Their love and respect for each other is truly an inspiration to all that know them. Ruth raised Edith as her own and is fondly called "Mother"; and
Whereas, Reverend Dr. Ruth Maness has been a rock in a weary land. We salute her and thank her for all she has been to friends, family, neighbors, and all that have passed through her life; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That this legislative body honor the Reverend Dr. Ruth Maness for all that she has accomplished; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Reverend Dr. Ruth Maness as a token of our 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.

House Resolution No. 471.
A resolution to urge the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to take all possible steps to increase production and delivery of influenza vaccine for the 2000-2001 season.
Whereas, An important component of the nation's effort to preserve the public's health is the development and distribution each year of a vaccine against strains of influenza expected during the winter flu season. This vaccine-development process is especially important for certain population groups, including the elderly, those afflicted with chronic illnesses, and those with compromised immune systems. Immunization prevents a large number of deaths and costly illnesses each year; and
Whereas, There is a significant shortage of influenza vaccine this year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), this change in availability is due to problems with the components of the vaccine and problems in manufacturing. As a result, the supply of the vaccine remains far short of the usual demand. The delay represents a genuine threat to the health of many citizens. Swift action is needed to address this problem; and
Whereas, While the CDC has taken steps to encourage vaccine manufacturers to increase production and hasten delivery to health departments, doctors, clinics, and hospitals, it is essential that all efforts be made to meet this challenge. The consequences of inadequate supplies could be far-reaching in costs to our state and nation; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to take all possible steps to increase production and delivery of influenza vaccine for the 2000-2001 season; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Health Policy.

House Resolution No. 472.
A resolution honoring the 2000 Lansing Catholic Central Boys Golf Team.
Whereas, It is a pleasure to join with their families, the entire school, and all of the Lansing area in celebrating the achievements of the 2000 Lansing Catholic Central Boys Golf Team on its wonderful success over the season. With the fine record this squad attained, which has culminated in finishing as runners-up in the State Tournament, Lansing Catholic Central Boys Golf Team's best finish since winning the State Title in 1986, this group of disciplined student-athletes has generated great pride throughout this part of our state; and
Whereas, Much to the delight of their loyal fans, the 2000 Lansing Catholic Central Boys Golf Team has also earned the respect of prep sports followers everywhere in Michigan with their talent, teamwork, and determination. As opponents have found out all season long, this is a team that brings unity and a positive outlook to all levels of competition. In the face of challenge and pressure, this is a group of young people who maintain their focus on making their dreams come true and accepting nothing less than their best effort; and
Whereas, Winning titles or compiling outstanding seasons is never a coincidence. The 2000 Lansing Catholic Central Boys Golf Team accomplishments this season include second place in the Mason Invitational finishing with a 10-5 match record, a 10-4 record in the League, finishing second in the League Meet, which helped the team to finish second in the League overall. The team set a school record in this tournament shooting a 300 and won the Regional Tournament trophy by 13 strokes. All of this was accomplished without a senior on the team! While anything can happen in a single game, all teams show their true abilities and dedication over a long season or a difficult tournament. What distinguishes the best, however, 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 people. Team members included Junior Tri-Captains: Polo Hourani, All State Division III, Sean King and Chris Johnson, Sophomore, Justin Murray and Junior, Ryan Fitzpatrick. Other Varsity Members included Sophomore, Zack Cole and Junior, Alan Nicholson. This team was lead by Head Coach Charlie Furney; now, therefore, be it

House Concurrent Resolution No. 124.
A concurrent resolution to urge the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to take all possible steps to increase production and delivery of influenza vaccine for the 2000-2001 season.
Whereas, An important component of the nation's effort to preserve the public's health is the development and distribution each year of a vaccine against strains of influenza expected during the winter flu season. This vaccine-development process is especially important for certain population groups, including the elderly, those afflicted with chronic illnesses, and those with compromised immune systems. Immunization prevents a large number of deaths and costly illnesses each year; and
Whereas, There is a significant shortage of influenza vaccine this year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), this change in availability is due to problems with the components of the vaccine and problems in manufacturing. As a result, the supply of the vaccine remains far short of the usual demand. The delay represents a genuine threat to the health of many citizens. Swift action is needed to address this problem; and
Whereas, While the CDC has taken steps to encourage vaccine manufacturers to increase production and hasten delivery to health departments, doctors, clinics, and hospitals, it is essential that all efforts be made to meet this challenge. The consequences of inadequate supplies could be far-reaching in costs to our state and nation; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we urge the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to take all possible steps to increase production and delivery of influenza vaccine for the 2000-2001 season; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Health Policy.

Rep. Gosselin, 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 would have voted yes on this Bill #SB763, but a short time ago the House voted on the conference report on HB 4530, CCW reform. Just before the vote was taken, I was unavoidably called away from the House floor.
Had I been present, I would have voted 'yes' on Roll Call 1111, the HB 4530 conference report. When I ran for office I promised to support this legislation, which simply returns to citizens the exercise of a right recognized by Article One, Section Six of the Michigan Constitution: 'Every person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of himself and the state.' This promise was made again by all of us two years ago this month when we stood in this chamber and swore to uphold the Constitution of the State of Michigan.
I voted 'no' on SB763 solely for the purpose of placing on the record my intention to vote 'yes' on HB4530."

Rep. Raczkowski moved that when the House adjourns today it stand adjourned until Thursday, December 14, at 10:00 a.m.
