Rep. Ken Bradstreet, from the 105th District, offered the following invocation:

 

"Father, thank You for so many blessings that You have given to our country and to us individually. We praise You for that. We call to mind the remarks of Ben Franklin at the Great Constitutional Convention, when he acknowledged that 'if a sparrow can not fall to the ground without Your notice, how can an empire rise up without Your assistance?' We acknowledge that assistance today. Through our history You have been the strong arm that we have leaned upon and we continue to do that this morning as there are still many that are grieving and have lost loved ones and many that are in harms way of our military. We ask for Your help. We ask for our President, our Governor and all of the leaders of the House and the Senate in Washington that You would give them wisdom. We pray for wisdom for us here in this body that You would grant that. You have promised if we ask for wisdom from You that You will give it to us. We rely on Your promise this day that You would do that. We praise You in Jesus' name. Amen."

Rep. Jacobs moved that Reps. Mans and Schermesser be excused from today's session.

The motion prevailed.

 

 

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 221.

A resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for William A. Ryan, former member, Speaker, and Clerk of the House.

Whereas, With the passing of William A. Ryan, the people of this state have lost a gentleman of great personal integrity and commitment to public service. In addition to the impact he had over his quarter century as a policymaker, Bill Ryan was an architect of change who shaped many aspects of the institution of the House of Representatives we know today. Indeed, his gifts to Michigan and the legislative process continue to benefit us all; and

Whereas, A native of West Virginia who served our country with the Marines during World War II, Bill Ryan had a strong sense of social justice and an unshakable belief in our system of self-government. Active as a leader within the UAW and as a part-time editor of a social action newspaper, Mr. Ryan was first elected to the Michigan House of Representatives in January of 1958, filling a vacancy. As was true in all he ever did, Bill Ryan worked as a lawmaker in response to his personal principles. He strongly believed in the dignity of all people and felt government should always reflect such ideals; and

Whereas, With a legendary attention to detail, administrative talents, and work ethic, Bill Ryan earned the trust of his fellow lawmakers and served as the Speaker of the House for three terms. Even after his retirement as a member in 1982, he continued to contribute as the Clerk of the House for the 1983-84 legislature; and

Whereas, Bill Ryan served in key positions during an era of remarkable change in state government in general and the legislature in particular. His vision was invaluable in developing the resources for the legislative branch of government we recognize today. He was instrumental in the creation of a daily bill status system, the establishment of the House Fiscal Agency and the bill analysis unit, and the shaping of research and other staff services within the legislature. Many of the capabilities the legislature has as a co-equal branch of government bear the mark of Bill Ryan's determination; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute as a memorial for William A. Ryan, who served this legislative body as a member, as the Speaker, and as the Clerk; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Ryan family as evidence of our enduring esteem for his memory.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.

Reps. Lemmons, Basham, Dennis, Thomas, Callahan, Williams, Switalski, Wojno, Phillips, Bogardus, Jamnick, Anderson, Lockwood, Lipsey, Kolb, Zelenko, Hale, Murphy, Plakas, Waters, Whitmer, Clark and Daniels, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on final passage of House Bill 4454 (H-3) because I cannot justify the harm this will inflict on the citizens of Wayne County. By cutting the Airport Parking Tax rate, this House of Representatives is eliminating critical revenues that currently fund indigent health care services and juvenile justice programs in Wayne County. It is unconscionable that when our economy is floundering and our nation is at war, this body is preying on the public's fears about flying to cut services to Michiganders who need help most.

Furthermore, although I agree that airport security deserves attention and improvement, the federal government is taking care of those needs. At the very least, if airport security improvements do require state funding, why cut the tax rate, rather than simply diverting the funds from their current usage? Ironically, although this change will wreak havoc with Wayne County and the services it currently provides, there is no guarantee that citizens who use these parking services will see lower rates due to this change. Who, then, really benefits from this bill?

Finally, I voted against House Bill 4454 (H-3) because I am disappointed with the way the bill's sponsor has handled this debate. Although my colleague promised the City of Romulus that he would discuss the issue further with them before moving this bill, he has not done so. Since I strongly believe in including local governments in discussing any bill that would affect them, adversely or otherwise, I cannot support this change knowing that Romulus has been left out of the debate."

Rep. Rivet, 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 voted no on HB 4454 (H-3) because a bad idea, steeped in political vindictiveness, even when it is wrapped in the American flag, is still a bad idea."

 

Rep. Minore, 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:

This bill represents the barest example of political expediency. Introduced in March--but lacking sufficient support for passage, the sponsor in a callous political move, playing upon the fears and concerns following the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 'gussied up the bill' to attack airport security to its content. Fortunately, members saw through the charade.

Moreover, I voted no on final passage of House Bill 4454 (H-3) because I cannot justify the harm this will inflict on the citizens of Wayne County. By cutting the Airport Parking Tax rate, this House of Representatives is eliminating critical revenues that currently fund indigent health care services and juvenile justice programs in Wayne County. It is unconscionable that when our economy is floundering and our nation is at war, this body is preying on the public's fears about flying to cut services to Michiganders who need help most."

 

Rep. Spade, 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:

Since I strongly believe in including local governments in discussing any bill that would affect them, adversely or otherwise, I cannot support this change knowing that Romulus has been left out of the debate.

Finally, it is interesting to note that the airport parking tax was initially developed with the aid of and supported by then Senate Majority Leader John Engler to resolve a Headlee lawsuit between Wayne County and the State of Michigan. My vote is in support of that resolution."

 

Rep. Schauer, 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 voted no on final passage of House Bill 4454 (H-3) because I cannot justify the harm this will inflict on the citizens of Wayne County.

The question being on agreeing to the title of the bill,

Rep. Patterson moved to amend the title to read as follows:

A bill to amend 1976 PA 451, entitled "The revised school code," (MCL 380.1 to 380.1852) by adding section 1294; and to repeal acts and parts of acts.

The motion prevailed.

The House agreed to the title as amended.

Rep. Richardville moved that the bill be given immediate effect.

The motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor.

Reps. Kolb, Garza, Whitmer, Callahan, Dennis, Jacobs, Murphy, Anderson, Plakas, Clark, Williams, Zelenko and Basham, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on HB 4760 (H-3), because this bill would allow school districts to request waivers for laws or rules which serve to address the needs of many school children such as those receiving special education services. The compulsory attendance requirements could be waived as well as school expulsion and due process requirements and the recently enacted Labor Day School Holiday. School districts could waive testing requirements and other accountability measures that the public uses to ensure our children are receiving the best education possible.

Furthermore, the bill puts the ability to waive laws, which were approved and signed into law to benefit schools across the state of Michigan, into the hands of an unelected bureaucrat, the state superintendent of public education.

Finally, the issue of charter schools and how they are regulated is also affected. At a time when a special commission on charter schools has been appointed, now is not the time to allow these schools the ability to ask for waivers such as those mentioned above. This is an accountability issue. It is our job to ensure the public education of all the children of Michigan."

 

Rep. Clarke, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

House Resolution No. 222.

A resolution honoring and commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Medical Technology Program at Michigan State University.

Whereas, On October 12, 2001, students, alumni, faculty, and friends will gather from around the globe to celebrate 75 years of excellence in medical technology education at Michigan State University. The Michigan State University Medical Technology Program was founded by Dr. Ward Giltner in 1926, making it one of the five oldest programs in the United States. The program today offers both bachelor's and master's degrees. It is ranked as the largest medical technology education program in the nation with more than 3,600 graduates, two-thirds of whom reside in Michigan; and

Whereas, Michigan State University's Medical Technology Program prepares highly skilled and trained clinical laboratory professionals for work in a variety of professional settings, including hospital, independent clinical, environmental, and veterinarian laboratories, research institutes, clinics, blood banks, academic institutions, physician offices, and other industries; and

Whereas, Five billion laboratory tests are performed annually in the United States. These tests range from a simple premarital blood test to complex procedures to detect and monitor diseases such as diabetes and cancer. Health care providers use these results to diagnose abnormal conditions, prescribe therapies, and evaluate treatments; and

Whereas, It is estimated that 70% of treatment decisions are based on laboratory test results. Inaccurate or inappropriate testing results in prolonged illness, missed diagnoses, failure to treat, increased health care costs, or in some cases, death. Therefore, the greatest confidence about a laboratory result comes when it is performed by laboratory professionals who are trained, educated, and have demonstrated skills in relating laboratory information to diseases; and

Whereas, The Michigan State University Medical Technology Program instills in its graduates the importance of their work, responsibility to patients, and the need for accuracy and precision in all aspects of laboratory testing; and

Whereas, The research, development, teaching, supervision, and actual performance of clinical laboratory procedures by graduates and faculty of this highly respected program have provided tangible health benefits to individuals and communities across the globe, including the discovery of a cure for some cancers; and

Whereas, Michigan State University's Medical Technology Program partners with institutions across the state including Henry Ford Health Systems in southeastern Michigan, Lakeland Regional Hospital in St. Joseph, Covenant Health Care in Saginaw, and Sparrow Hospital and Ingham Region Medical Center in Lansing, that provide clinical experiences for students thus bringing prospective practitioners to their communities; and

Whereas, The Michigan State University Medical Technology Program also meets the continuing educational needs of laboratory professionals by providing faculty presentations at professional conferences and is a pioneer in the provision of web-based continuing education for laboratory professionals through Michigan State University's Virtual University; and

Whereas, The Michigan State University Medical Technology Program is a vital resource for the state of Michigan. As clinical laboratories in the United States are facing an acute shortage of qualified personnel, the need for these employees is increasing. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that clinical laboratory science will experience a 17% increase in test volume in the period 1998-2008. However, vacancy rates for laboratory positions were estimated at 10-23% in 2000 and the deficit of qualified workers is growing by 4,000 to 5,000 per year. This shortage has been caused in part to the closures of many educational programs over the past 10 years. In the state of Michigan, there were more than 30 accredited educational programs in 1980 and only 11 in 2000. There were over 200 graduates of clinical laboratory science programs in 1980 and fewer than 120 in 2000; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representative, That the members of this legislative body honor and commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Medical Technology Program at Michigan State University; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Dr. Kathryn Doig, Program Director, at Michigan State University, as evidence of our respect and best wishes.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Patterson 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.

 

 

Reps. Shulman, Raczkowski, Cassis, Rocca, Bovin, Richardville, Hummel, Howell, Mans, Sheltrown, Van Woerkom, Vander Veen, Voorhees, George, Hager, Adamini, Kooiman, Pappageorge, Ehardt, Middaugh, Jansen, Bradstreet, Bishop, Meyer, Faunce, Vander Roest, DeRossett, Jelinek, Newell, Toy, Bernero, Birkholz, Julian, Woronchak, Gosselin, Caul, Stewart, Kuipers, Spade, Zelenko, McConico, Gieleghem, Schauer, Callahan, Wojno, Rich Brown, Neumann, Jamnick, Frank, Richner, Murphy, Scranton, Basham, Plakas, Anderson, DeVuyst, Rison, Switalski, Pestka, Clarke and DeWeese offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 223.

A resolution to encourage all public schools to say the Pledge of Allegiance before class begins on each day of school.

Whereas, America is a free and independent republic. Given the tragic events of September 11, 2001, we need to instill patriotism in our nation's youth. The Pledge of Allegiance is recited as follows:

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of

America and to the republic for which it stands: one nation

under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. ; and

Whereas, At times of threats against our country, it is reassuring to people--especially children--to be reminded of the spirit of unity that defines us. The affirmation of the shared sense of purpose that the Pledge of Allegiance provides can be a source of strength at all times, but most especially now, as we face the challenges before our beloved nation; and

Whereas, This pledge of patriotism can serve as a reminder to all children that the United States of America is indivisible when united. Indeed, it is most appropriate that our youngest citizens reaffirm our commitment to liberty and justice as Americans each and every day; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body encourage our Michigan public schools to say the Pledge of Allegiance before class on each day of school; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Association of School Boards and the Michigan Association of Public School Academies.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Education.

 

 

Reps. Kilpatrick, Murphy, Daniels, Reeves, Hardman, Thomas, Waters, Hale, Clarke, Stallworth, Clark, Quarles, McConico, Garza and Lemmons offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 224.

A resolution honoring the life accomplishments of Dr. Frederick G. Sampson, II.

Whereas, It is with sincere admiration for the manner in which Dr. Frederick G. Sampson, II's outstanding leadership has enriched lives throughout the entire community, that we join with the grateful congregation of the Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church in honoring his life accomplishments. The counsel, encouragement, and direction that he shared in all aspects of his life has had a positive influence far beyond the church itself to grace the community-at-large as well; and

Whereas, Dr. Frederick G. Sampson, II, Pastor of Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church, received his education at numerous schools and held degrees in Behavioral Science and in the Theological Sciences. Dr. Sampson has lectured at colleges and universities throughout our country and has been the annual speaker for numerous prestigious events. Dr. Sampson's service record is both extensive and prosperous. Dr. Sampson also led congregations including High Street Baptist Church in Roanoke, Virginia, from 1953-1960 and at the Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky from 1960-1971. In both states, he served on commissions and boards to fight crime, improve education, and bring a higher level of consciousness to the community. Dr. Sampson was detained several times for his leadership and participation in the human rights struggle. His endeavors to enrich life, at all levels of society, led him into teaching, preaching, and a study mission in five African countries; and

Whereas, Dr. Sampson has met the spiritual needs of the good people of the Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church since he arrived in 1971. With a heartfelt concern for others that is immediately apparent to all who have had the outstanding opportunity to meet him, Dr. Sampson brought a new era to many individuals and families since that time. While several events and milestones at the Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church provide obvious evidence of the good works of Dr. Sampson, less tangible, but no less important, are the gifts of deepened faith and serenity his Ministry has made possible; and

Whereas, With the passing of Dr. Frederick G. Sampson, II, the family of worshipers at the Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church have lost not only a spiritual mentor, but also a friend. With all that they have shared over the years, however, there can be little doubt that his words and strength will long continue to be of the greatest value in the months and years to come; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body join with the family, friends, and congregation of the Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church in honoring the life accomplishments of Dr. Frederick G. Sampson, II; and be it further;

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the family of Dr. Frederick G. Sampson, II, as a token of our esteem.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.
