Reps. Adamini, Williams, Jacobs, Thomas, Lipsey, Bogardus, Whitmer, McConico, Dennis, Clark, Jamnick, Minore and Lockwood, 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 4859 because the bill goes against the intent behind section 7411 of the Public Health Code. This section gives persons arrested for first time low level drug offenses the opportunity to go through counseling and come away from the court without a conviction and a sealed record. The intent behind this statute is to allow those individuals the opportunity to gain employment and to continue their lives without the stigma of a criminal record.

HB 4859 will give the Department of Corrections and Law Enforcement Agencies the ability to use these sealed records against individuals applying for employment, thereby creating a prejudice against persons the legislature and court system attempted to help."

 

Rep. Kolb, 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 4859 because the bill goes against the intent behind section 7411 of the Public Health Code. This section gives persons arrested for first time low level drug offenses the opportunity to go through counseling and come away from the court without a conviction and a sealed record. HB 4859 will give the Department of Corrections and Law Enforcement Agencies the ability to use these sealed records against individuals applying for employment, thereby creating a prejudice against persons the legislature and court system attempted to help. Furthermore, the Department of Corrections (DOC) has policies in place to require arrested employees to report such arrests to personnel department. Upon notification, DOC implements an investigation separate and apart from that conducted by law enforcement. Based upon their findings, DOC uses the information to discipline, generally terminate their employees. This bill is unnecessary. One of the problems with DOC's current practices is the ability to terminate for arrests. Even if it is determined that there is no evidence to move forward with a criminal case and the charges are dismissed, the separate investigation by the Department may still result in an individual's termination. The Department argues that they do not use the reasonable doubt burden of proof as is used in criminal cases but the preponderance of evidence standard set froth in civil proceedings. Due to the disparate amount of minority individuals who are arrested and then released, this policy already could have a detrimental impact on DOC's minority guard population. We would only compound this problem by giving DOC carte blanche access to non-public criminal records, that do not amount to convictions. The DOC indicated that in the Correction's subcommittee that they do not have a problem with officers providing drugs to inmates, if this is not a problem, why the need for this bill. For these reasons, stated above, I cannot vote for this legislation."

A resolution honoring Richard Buckholz.

Whereas, With deep appreciation of the talents and energy that must come together to officiate middle school, high school, and college sports, we honor Richard Buckholz upon the occasion of his fifty-one years of service as a state of Michigan sports official. As Richard Buckholz continues his service as referee, we add our voice of thanks to those of the students, coaches, and parents throughout the city of Dearborn Heights and the entire state of Michigan; and

Whereas, Through his dedicated efforts as a sports official, as well as his active role in his community, Richard Buckholz has clearly demonstrated the highest qualities of citizenship and unselfishness. He is the oldest and longest active sports official in the state of Michigan. He officiates boys and girls basketball and track, as well as, boys football. In addition, he also evaluates football and baseball officials statewide; and

Whereas, Richard graduated from River Rouge High School in 1937 with seven varsity letters. He was named to the All-State teams for both football and basketball. Richard went on to play semi-professional football and basketball before joining the United States Army Air Corps in 1941.

House Resolution No. 256.

A resolution to express support for the proposed aerial gondola spanning the Detroit River and to encourage Windsor and Ontario authorities to expedite the project's approval.

Whereas, The warm relationships between Michigan and Ontario and between Detroit and Windsor have provided enormous benefits to the region and to the people who call the area on either shore of the Detroit River home. In an effort to highlight this relationship and further develop the resources of the Detroit-Windsor area, business and community leaders on both sides of the Detroit River are promoting the construction of an aerial gondola over the Detroit River. This project would create one of the most unique tourist attractions anywhere and focus attention on the concept of the "Two Nation Vacation"; and

Whereas, The proposed gondola line linking the downtowns of Detroit and Windsor offers many economic opportunities. A study commissioned by the Detroit Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau indicates that the project would result in $325.5 million in new visitor spending and would lure 1 million additional visitors, which would result in 5,200 new jobs. The gondola is expected to provide 3 million round trips annually with a crossing time for passengers of less than 5 minutes. One prominent area economist has predicted that the annual economic benefits could exceed the spending from the North American International Auto Show each year; and

Whereas, City officials in Detroit and Windsor and numerous private corporations and organizations have expressed strong support for this venture. With the enormous potential the aerial gondola holds for tourism development, the remaining obstacles need to be overcome to bring this idea to fruition; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we express support for the proposed aerial gondola spanning the Detroit River and encourage Windsor and Ontario authorities to expedite the project's approval; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Mayor of Windsor, the Premier of Ontario, the President of the United States, 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 Commerce.

House Concurrent Resolution No. 48.

A concurrent resolution to urge the United States Department of Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to fulfill their obligation to establish a permanent repository for high-level nuclear waste.

Whereas, Over the past four decades, nuclear power has become a significant source for the nation's production of electricity. Michigan is among the majority of states that derive energy from nuclear plants; and

Whereas, Since the earliest days of nuclear power, the great dilemma associated with this technology is how to deal with the waste material that is produced. This high-level radioactive waste material demands exceptional care in all facets of its storage and disposal, including the transportation of this material; and

Whereas, In 1982, Congress passed the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982. This legislation requires the federal government, through the Department of Energy, to build a facility for the permanent storage of high-level nuclear waste. This act, which was amended in 1987, includes a specific timetable to identify a suitable location and to establish the waste facility. The costs for this undertaking are to be paid from a fee that is assessed on all nuclear energy produced; and

Whereas, In accordance with the federal act, Michigan electric customers have paid $405.8 million into this federal fund for construction of the federal waste facility; and

Whereas, There are serious concerns that the federal government is not complying with the timetables set forth in federal law. Every delay places our country at greater risk, because the large number of temporary storage sites at nuclear facilities across the country make us vulnerable to potential problems. The events since September 11, 2001, clearly illustrate the urgency of the need to establish a safe and permanent high-level nuclear waste facility as soon as possible. The Department of Energy, working with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, must not fail to meet its obligation as provided by law. There is too much at stake; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we urge the United States Department of Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to fulfill their obligation to establish a permanent repository for high-level nuclear waste; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the United States Department of Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Energy and Technology.

(For text of resolution, see House Journal No. 64, p. 1952.)

With the recommendation that the following substitute (H-1) be adopted and that the resolution then be adopted.

Substitute for House Resolution No. 193.

A resolution to honor the 94th Combat Infantry Division of World War II.

Whereas, We are proud of the 94th Combat Infantry Division, one of the elite units to serve with General George S. Patton's famed 3rd Army. We offer our solemn admiration of the unselfishness and dedication to those who gave so much of themselves for the common good. While the members of this distinguished group of individuals share a sense of pride for their service to our great nation, we offer our deep and abiding thanks for their commitment and for the sacrifices they made in the name of liberty and freedom; and

Whereas, The 94th Combat Infantry Division was rushed 400 miles across France in the face of the Battle of the Bulge and began a campaign toward victory, ranking them as one of the all-time great fighting men of World War II. We acknowledge their unceasing courage. From the time they landed in France, 209 combat days and 10,937 casualties later, this loyal group rose above and beyond any expectations to protect the independence they all believed in; and

Whereas, We want to join with several states including New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, who have dedicated sections of Highway 94 to members and officers of the 94th Combat Infantry Division. We in Michigan, where the 94th Combat Infantry Division originated at Fort Custer in Battle Creek, want to share in this celebration of valor and allegiance. Fittingly, as they look to the past, they will also be casting an eye to the future and to the many ways in which those members of the 94th Combat Infantry Division still residing in Michigan will continue to reach out in our state, sharing their devotion to our country with those of us who are fortunate to live here; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor the 94th Combat Infantry Division and to express appreciation for their valuable contributions; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the 94th Combat Infantry Division as evidence of our esteem.

The Speaker announced that under Rule 77 the resolution would lie over one day.
