e/d/s = entered during session

Rep. Neal Nitz, from the 78th District, offered the following invocation:

"Sometimes, O Graceful Creator, we think our world has forgotten about holiness, laws of goodness have been broken, Your name is used with disrespect, children don't honor their parents, and we worry that chaos is swallowing up our civilization. But then we remember the many good people we know, and the kindness that fills their hearts. We recall the gentleness of feelings expressed in certain poems and songs, and in the best books and movies. And yet, we know that the world is filled with crime, vileness and disregard. But even more, we know that there are many who greatly cherish Your name and Your presence, and we give thanks for them. Teach us to care about everything, and to spend our lives in pursuit of the goals and values that matter most to Your justice and mercy. Show us love in the smile of a friend, and tenderness in the regard of a little child. Help us to wonder at the beauty of a single flower, and the morning sunrise. Pour out Your blessings upon us as we gather as people elected to make prudent use of all the goodness that You have given us in this great and blessed land. In the name of the One who is justice, love and mercy. Amen."

Motions and Resolutions

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

House Resolution No. 97.

A resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for Peter Kok, former member of the House of Representatives.

Whereas, The members of this legislative body were saddened to learn of the passing of Peter Kok, a distinguished public servant, businessman, and family man who devoted his life to others in many ways. Among his many accomplishments, his commitment to state government will long be remembered as a model of integrity and effectiveness; and

Whereas, A native of Grand Rapids and a graduate of Calvin College, Peter Kok answered his country's call to arms during the dark days of World War II. His abiding sense of patriotism and his loyalty to those around him were evident in his distinguished military record. He flew as a bombardier on 67 missions over Italy and southern France, and his heroism was acknowledged in many decorations, including the Silver Star, the Distinguished Flying Cross, and the Purple Heart; and

Whereas, Upon his return to civilian life, Peter Kok directed his energies to real estate. Community involvement and his strong sense of responsibility led him to elective public service. In 1964, he was elected to the first of his seven consecutive terms as State Representative from Kent County. As a lawmaker, this principled gentleman was known for his advocacy for open housing laws and for his exceptional leadership on mental health issues. Even after his retirement from the Michigan Legislature in 1978, he was appointed by Governor Milliken to the Michigan Council on Aging. Clearly, Peter Kok's dedication to others provided a model of unselfish service that is worthy of emulation today; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Peter Kok, a member of this legislative body from 1965 to 1978; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Kok family as evidence of our sincere condolences.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.

Reps. Accavitti, Meisner, Dennis, Adamini, Condino, Hopgood, Elkins, Byrum, Tobocman, Law, Murphy, Waters and Gillard, 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 House Bill 4776 because it would change the definition of a de novo hearing for certain hearings. The term 'de novo hearing,' is a legal term. It describes a type of hearing on review of a matter where the court holds a completely new hearing. The prior hearing's decision is suspended and the reviewing court treats the case as though it were a matter of first impression, giving no attention to the findings and judgment from the prior hearing.

HB 4776 invents a new definition of a de novo hearing that means the opposite of what is commonly understood as a de novo hearing. Instead of allowing a new hearing, the new definition requires the court to simply review the prior hearing. This is particularly unfair because the prior hearings in these cases are not regular judicial proceedings held before a judge, but are hearings before a Friend of the Court referee. As a result, the bill essentially limits the opportunity of the parties to have their case heard before a judge. This is unfair and I cannot support it."

House Resolution No. 98.

A resolution congratulating the members and coaches of the Buchanan High School boys' tennis team upon the occasion of its Division IV state tennis championship.

Whereas, Brycen Coward, Ryan Evick, A.J. Mottl, Alex Flood, Alex Gordon, Chad VanLue, Brandon Schmeling, Doug Summers, Sean Jesse, Mike Otwell, Korey Camp and Dan Summers are the team members who each played a part in winning the championship; and

Whereas, It is a pleasure to join with their families, the entire school and all of Buchanan in celebrating the achievements of the Buchanan High School boys' tennis team on its wonderful success over the season. With the fine record this squad attained, which has culminated in a state championship, this group of disciplined student-athletes has generated great pride throughout the southwestern part of our state; and

Whereas, Much to the delight of their loyal fans, the Bucks have also earned the respect of prep sports followers elsewhere in Michigan through 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, Buchanan has come close to winning the state championship several times in the past, and through its persistence and hard work succeeded in capturing its first tennis state championship on Saturday, May 31, 2003; and

Whereas, Winning titles or compiling outstanding seasons 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. 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; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body congratulate the members and coaches of the Buchanan High School boys' tennis team upon the occasion of its Division IV state tennis championship; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Buchanan High School boys' tennis team as a token of our esteem.

House Resolution No. 99.

A resolution to declare August 1-7, 2003, as Fun, Safe Swimming Week in Michigan.

Whereas, Michigan is a popular vacation spot with more than 3,000 miles of Great Lakes shoreline, more than 11,000 inland lakes, and abundant streams and waterways; and

Whereas, Swimming is a popular form of summer exercise and recreation among people who want to strengthen their cardiovascular system and get a full body workout, or just cool off; and

Whereas, Summer is a time for families and friends to enjoy get-togethers and parties around pools and other water; and

Whereas, Every summer there are drownings, near-drownings and diving accidents. We recommend that every family enroll its children in a safe swimming course; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare August 1-7, 2003, as Fun, Safe Swimming Week.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

House Resolution No. 100.

A resolution congratulating President Gerald R. Ford on his 90^th birthday.

Whereas, Gerald Rudolph Ford was born Leslie Lynch King on July 14, 1913, and three years later was renamed Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr. after his mother was remarried to Gerald R. Ford Sr.; and

Whereas, Jerry Ford graduated with honors from South High School in Grand Rapids in 1931, and continued his education at the University of Michigan. He played center for the Wolverine football team and was selected most valuable player by his teammates during his senior year; and

Whereas, He went on to receive a law degree from Yale University in 1941. During World War II, Ford served as operations officer while on the U.S.S. Monterey in the Pacific, finishing his term with the Navy as a lieutenant commander; and

Whereas, After World War II, Gerald R. Ford returned to practice law in Grand Rapids. Soon after his marriage to Elizabeth Warren in 1948, he successfully challenged the incumbent Republican U.S. Representative, and won the congressional seat, which he diligently served in for 25 years; and

Whereas, Through his reputation of honesty and integrity, he gained the support of his fellow party members and in 1965, was chosen to be House Minority Leader. Jerry Ford held this position until President Nixon named him vice president in 1973; and

Whereas, Gerald R. Ford was sworn in as President of the United States after the resignation of President Nixon in 1974. President Ford took on the very difficult task of leading this country after the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal. During his term, he successfully calmed tensions between Israel and Egypt, as well as between the United States and Soviet Union; and

Whereas, Gerald R. Ford is most deserving of our highest praise. His effort and service provided to the community of Grand Rapids, as well as the United States of America, will not go forgotten. His wisdom and initiative have had an immeasurable impact upon the lives of countless citizens. We are proud to salute him; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body congratulate President Gerald R. Ford on his 90^th birthday. May he know of our heartfelt gratitude for his exemplary service and our best wishes for continued health and happiness in his future years. The citizens of Michigan are proud to express their appreciation for his years of service to the residents of his congressional district, the state of Michigan, and the people of our nation; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to President Ford.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Richardville 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.

Kooiman, Tobocman, Accavitti, Acciavatti, Adamini, Amos, Anderson, Byrum, Clack, Condino, DeRossett, Ehardt, Elkins, Emmons, Farhat, Farrah, Gieleghem, Gillard, Gleason, Hager, Hoogendyk, Huizenga, Hune, Hunter, Jamnick, Ruth Johnson, Koetje, Kolb, LaSata, Law, Lipsey, McConico, Meyer, Minore, Mortimer, Murphy, Newell, Nofs, Paletko, Palsrok, Pastor, Phillips, Plakas, Richardville, Rocca, Sak, Shackleton, Shaffer, Sheltrown, Shulman, Spade, Stahl, Stallworth, Vagnozzi, Vander Veen, Voorhees, Wojno, Woodward and Zelenko offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 101.

A resolution to encourage President Jimmy Carter and Habitat for Humanity, International, to select Michigan as the site for the 2005 Jimmy Carter Habitat for Humanity Work Project.

Whereas, The Jimmy Carter Work Project is a well-respected program that meets the immediate needs of disadvantaged individuals and families through the construction of affordable, quality housing. Planning for this project for the 2005 year indicates that as many as 250 to 300 homes will be built; and

Whereas, Habitat for Humanity Michigan and its numerous local Michigan affiliates, the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, and the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan are committed to the 2005 Jimmy Carter Work Project. These groups, as well as many other private and public organizations, are working to secure the resources and support that will make this project successful; and

Whereas, Michigan strongly supports the concept of publicprivate partnerships to address the housing needs of our people. Habitat for Humanity efforts in our state have reflected this support, as does the fact that every county in the state will soon have a Habitat affiliate. Clearly, this sense of commitment can make the 2005 Jimmy Carter Work Project among the most successful housing ventures anywhere in the country; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we encourage President Jimmy Carter and Habitat for Humanity, International, to select Michigan as the site for the 2005 Jimmy Carter Habitat for Humanity Work Project; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to President Jimmy Carter and the Carter Center.

Rep. Bieda, 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 against House Bill 4631 because it diverts state road and bridge funds to the operation of the bridge, and because of a concern that this action would negatively impact on the State of Michigan's bond rating."

Rep. Jamnick, 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:

HB 4631 amends the Michigan Transportation Fund Act to require at least $5.25 million dollars be appropriated annually from the State Trunkline Fund to the Mackinac Bridge Authority. We have just previously voted on a bill to forgive the Authority's debt for the construction of the bridge itself without appropriate financial information available. I believe it is fiscally irresponsible in one action to forgive a debt and then authorize a subsidy of bridge tolls."

______

Reps. Farrah, Accavitti, Anderson, Condino, Hopgood and Murphy, 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 House Bill 4452 (H-1) as amended because I have strong concerns about unintended consequences of this bill. First, if a school district switches to a 4-day school week, many parents will need to find day care for their children for that extra day. Some parents cannot afford this; will their children be left to roam the streets or at home alone and unsupervised. Having longer school days may prove to be too much for students. Some argue that students can handle only so much information each day, and once they reach that saturation point, additional instruction is not effective. In the past, the goal was increasing the school year. Now, we are allowing schools to have fewer days with longer hours. In some ways this seems inconsistent. Additionally, at a time when unemployment is high and our economy is weak, will this bill mean a 20 percent pay-cut for school bus drivers, lunch workers, etc.? For these reasons, I voted no on House Bill 4452 (H-1) as amended."

Rep. Bieda, 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 House Bill 4452, as I had previously voted no on Senate Bill 364, because I have strong concerns about the unintended consequences of this bill. Paramount among these concerns is that if a school district switches to a four-day week, many parents will need to find day care for their children for that extra day. Some parents cannot afford this; will their children be left to roam the streets? Or stay at home alone and unsupervised? Having longer school days may prove to be too much for students. Many educational experts and parents argue that children can only handle so much information each day, and once they reach that saturation point, additional instruction is not effective. Lastly, previous legislatures have expressed the goal of increasing the school year. Now, we are allowing schools to have fewer days with longer hours. This seems to be rather inconsistent. Because of these concerns, and concerns previously expressed when I voted no on Senate Bill 364, I voted no on House Bill 4452."

Rep. Richardville moved to suspend that portion of Rule 44 requiring bills to be handed to the Clerk three hours prior to calling the House to order.

The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.
