"Our God and God of our Ancestors: We ask Your blessings for our country, for our veterans and active military fighting to defend our country, for our government, its leaders and advisors, and for all who exercise just and rightful authority.
Teach them insights of Your Torah, that they may administer all affairs of state fairly, that peace and security, happiness and prosperity, justice and freedom may forever abide in our midst.
Creator of all flesh, bless all the inhabitants of our state and our country with Your spirit. May citizens of all races and creeds forge a common bond in true harmony to banish all hatred and bigotry and to safeguard the ideals and free institutions which are the pride and glory of our country.
May this land under Your providence be an influence for good throughout the world, uniting all people in peace and freedom and helping them to fulfill the vision of Your prophet: 'Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they experience war any more.' And let us say: Amen."

Rep. Richardville moved that House Committees be given leave to meet during the balance of today's session.
The motion prevailed.
By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of
Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Hardman, Accavitti, Bieda, Byrum, Clack, Condino, Daniels, Dennis, Ehardt, Farrah, Gillard, Gleason, Hood, Jamnick, Lipsey, McConico, Minore, Murphy, O'Neil, Phillips, Reeves, Rivet, Spade, Stallworth, Tobocman, Vagnozzi, Woronchak and Waters offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 287.
A resolution to urge the Family Independence Agency to work closely with the United States Department of Justice to implement recommendations made concerning the operations of the W. J. Maxey Training School.
Whereas, Pursuant to federal law, the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice conducted a thorough investigation of the conditions at W. J. Maxey Training School at Whitmore Lake. This study, which included on-site inspections, discussions, and document review, identified significant deficiencies at the facility and called for new measures to bring the Maxey Training School into compliance with federal standards in all areas; and
Whereas, The Justice Department review of conditions at the Maxey Training School uncovered practices that are very troubling. The study found many conditions that must be remedied. Several of the deficiencies put the youthful residents at significant risk. Instead of treatment designed to help residents turn their lives around, certain conditions and practices have been creating a counterproductive atmosphere; and
Whereas, Justice Department investigators found "quite disturbing" uses of restraints, troubling reports of peer restraint practices, excessive use of isolation, inadequate due process in disciplinary cases, inadequate staffing levels, insufficient education programs for residents with disabilities, insufficient fire safety protection, and discrimination against individuals with physical or mental impairments. Conditions for young people in need of special education services and those needing mental health services were found to be especially poor; and
Whereas, While there are clearly difficult challenges in the mission of the Maxey Training School, we must do all we can as a state to ensure that treatment is just and consistent. In addition to the moral and legal obligations involved in this work, ensuring that justice is applied within the facility is in the best interests of the entire state in the long run; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Family Independence Agency to work closely with the United States Department of Justice to implement recommendations made concerning the operations of the W. J. Maxey Training School; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the Governor, the Family Independence Agency, and the W. J. Maxey Training School.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
Reps. Hardman, Accavitti, Bieda, Byrum, Clack, Condino, Daniels, Dennis, Ehardt, Farrah, Gillard, Gleason, Jamnick, Kolb, Lipsey, McConico, Minore, Murphy, O'Neil, Phillips, Reeves, Rivet, Sheltrown, Spade, Stallworth, Tobocman, Vagnozzi, Woronchak and Waters offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 288.
A resolution to urge the Department of Community Health and the United States Department of Health and Human Services to promote public awareness of sarcoidosis and to memorialize Congress to increase funding for sarcoidosis research.
Whereas, Sarcoidosis is an autoimmune disease with no known cause or cure that can affect any part of the body. This disease, which strikes between 20 and 50 of every 100,000 individuals in our country, most often afflicts victims between the ages of 20 and 40, with African Americans affected at least 10 times more often than other ethnic groups in the United States; and
Whereas, A disease that causes inflammation, sarcoidosis often affects several areas of the body simultaneously. Between 10 to 20 percent of individuals stricken with sarcoidosis eventually develop serious disabling conditions caused by damage to vital organs, such as the lungs, heart, and central nervous system; and
Whereas, In our state and across the United States, individuals with sarcoidosis and their family members are seeking treatment and support services to assist in controlling the effects of sarcoidosis. Our health care community can play a major part in combating this condition through increased efforts to diagnose the disease in its earliest possible stages. The public health community can also play a key role by promoting public awareness and supporting research for better treatment options and a cure; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Department of Community Health and the United States Department of Health and Human Services to promote public awareness of sarcoidosis and memorialize Congress to increase funding for sarcoidosis research; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Department of Community Health, the United States Department of Health and Human Services, 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 Health Policy.
