Reps. Accavitti, Condino, Waters, Farrah, Adamini, Elkins, Law, Hopgood, Gillard and Zelenko, 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:

Today I have chosen to vote no on House Bill 4804 because it is time for the Michigan Legislature to stand up and do the right thing. It is fiscally irresponsible to even be thinking about a tax cut for big business when we still haven't settled how to fund the budgets for the next fiscal year, nor addressed the fact that we are currently anticipating a $60 million shortfall in the current fiscal year's School Aid Fund."

Rep. Meisner, 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:

At a time when crucial programming is being cut due to a near $2 billion state budget deficit, which we face in large part due to irresponsible tax cuts of the past, contemplating a tax cut for big business is fiscal suicide. I can not in good conscience support such an effort, and that is why I voted against HB 4804. At the time of this vote, the state has just learned that May revenues were down 11%. This should serve as a wake up call to all in state government. We need fiscal discipline that has been sorely lacking for too long."

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:

Today I have chosen to vote no on House Bill 4804 because it is time for the Michigan Legislature to stand up and do the right thing. By passing this legislation the state is not living up to its obligation under the Durant settlement with our school districts and our commitment to the Build Michigan III transportation program. This bill's sole aim is to see that the pause in the Single Business Tax rollback is lifted. If this pause is lifted, it will cost the state $110 million annually at a time when the state is in a fiscal crisis. It is fiscally irresponsible to even be thinking about a tax cut for big business when we still haven't settled how to fund the budgets for the next fiscal year, nor addressed the fact that we are currently anticipating a $60 million shortfall in the current fiscal year's School Aid Fund."

Rep. Anderson, 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:

Today I have chosen to vote no on House Bill 4804 because it is time for the Michigan Legislature to stand up and do the right thing. This bill will exacerbate the current and future budget shortfalls by triggering additional tax cuts. It is fiscally irresponsible to even be thinking about a tax cut for big business when we still haven't settled how to fund the budgets for the next fiscal year, nor addressed the fact that we are currently anticipating a $60 million shortfall in the current fiscal year's School Aid Fund."

Rep. Tobocman, 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:

Today I have chosen to vote no on House Bill 4804 because it is time for the Michigan Legislature to stand up and do the right thing. It is fiscally irresponsible to even be thinking about how to spend surplus funding when we still have not settled how to fund the budgets for the next fiscal year, nor addressed the fact that we are currently anticipating a $60 million shortfall in the current fiscal year's School Aid Fund. These decisions should be left to an environment where the needs and priorities of the State can be considered in a more sober light."

Rep. Elkins, 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:

I voted no on HB 4820-23, HB 4824 (H-1), HB 4825-8 for the following reasons:

1. This package removes local control from school boards and transfers it to other local units of government. Once there is absence of local control, things can go out of control.

2. There are numerous school districts where the boundaries are not coterminous with the corresponding township, city or village. Thereby, this package would force these local clerks to divide precincts into correct school districts. Even with the Qualified Voter File, this mandate would be very laborious for local clerks.

3. Those who support this package pull out the worse case scenarios where the turnout rate is low and there is little to none publicity about school elections. To the contrary, there are many school districts that publicize their elections and have active participation. For example, the Jackson ISD had an election in the same month where voters where choosing the replacement for their state representative in a special election. The turn out was greater for the ISD election than the other one. This proves with proper notice that all school boards do not run stealth elections.

4. If it is the goal of the sponsors to increase voter turnout, other mechanisms such as same day voter registration and no excuse absentee ballot would be more effective.

5. There is no language that the counties will be properly reimbursed for the cost of the additional burden conducting school elections."

Reps. Gleason, Waters, Anderson, Gillard and Adamini, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

Rep. Meisner, 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 this package masquerading as election reform because I believe that it is actually an attempt to impose ideologically extreme views on our public education system. In addition to adding to the cost of elections for local school districts, in my view this scheme would create an insurmountable barrier to informed voting. This bill package coming out of Lansing also flies in the face of local control, a topic about which we hear much but see little."

Reps. Hopgood and Anderson, 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 4820-23, HB 4824 (H-1), HB 4825-8 for the following reasons

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 HB 4820-23, HB 4824 (H-1), HB 4825-8 because this package removes local control from school boards and transfers it to other units of government. While I agree and find much merit with the stated goal of the sponsors, and I commend their work on this package, I have some fundamental concerns with the legislation as passed by the House today. Aside from the issue of the loss of local control, I am concerned that this package will cause local governments and taxpayers additional costs -- especially in the short term. The bills do not adequately address the issue of who will pay for the increased costs of dealing with setting up what will essentially be new voting districts. By way of example, in my district I have several school districts. One school district encompasses three different cities and two different counties. There are numerous school districts across this state where the boundaries are not coterminous with the corresponding local unit of government. This package of bills would force these local clerks to divide existing precincts into the correct school districts. Even with the Qualified Voter File, this mandate would be very time consuming and laborious for local clerks. Those who support this bill package have expressed concern about low voter turnout. I also share this concern. But there are many reasons why people vote -- and don't vote. If it is truly the goal of the sponsors to increase voter turnout, other mechanisms such as same day voter registration and eliminating the provision requiring an affidavit for exercising the right to cast an absentee ballot would be effective and desirable changes to Michigan's election law."

Rep. Zelenko, 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:

In regards to HB 4820-4828, the school election conolidation package, I believe that the concept of election consolidation is good and I support the theory. I voted against this package of bills because of the fiscal implications to local governments. At a time when it is obvious that state revenues have decreased and the probability of shared revenues to the local governments being cut again, I can not, in good conscious, support this mandate without some indication of where the funding will come from."

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:

Those who support this bill package point out to worse case scenarios where the voter turnout rate is low and there is little publicity about school elections. To the contrary, a review of the school districts in my district at least show the same amount of publicity given by the school district in its election (school district newsletter, polling place sign locations) as the publicity given in city elections by local municipal government. But voters do show up when an issue is before them that they care deeply about -- and they make their collective voices heard.

As I stated previously, I am concerned about low voter turnout. But there are many reasons why people vote -- and don't vote. If it is truly the goal of the sponsors to increase voter turnout, other mechanisms such as same day voter registration and eliminating the "excuse" provision for exercising the right to cast an absentee ballot would be a more effective change to Michigan's election law."

Reps. Adamini and Anderson, 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 4820-23, HB 4824 (H-1), HB 4825-8 for the following reasons:

1. This package removes local control from school boards and transfers it to other local units of government. Once there is absence of local control, things can go out of control.

4. If it is the goal of the sponsors to increase voter turnout, other mechanisms such as same day voter registration and no excuse absentee ballot would be more effective."

I respect what the good representative from Oakland County is attempting to accomplish with this amendment, however I voted against it because creating additional elective offices by amendment to the consolidation of election bill package is not the appropriate legislative vehicle, particularly when the issue was not addressed in committee.

(For text of resolution, see House Journal No. 49, p. 772.)

Motions and Resolutions

By unanimous consent the House considered House Resolution No. 89 out of numerical order.

Reps. Bradstreet, Woodward, Middaugh and McConico offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 89.

A resolution to urge the Department of State Police to consider certain criteria when administering the provisions of 1999 PA 78 and to express legislative intent.

Whereas, On June 28, 1999, Enrolled House Bill No. 4658, which was enacted by the Michigan Legislature to amend the Emergency Telephone Service Enabling Act (1986 PA 32), was signed into law by the Governor as 1999 PA 78; and

Whereas, 1999 PA 78 added section 409 (MCL § 484.1409) to the Michigan Telephone Service Enabling Act. Subsection (1)(e) of this section provides that three cents of each monthly service charge collected in the two years following enactment are to be used by the Department of State Police to fund priority issues of 9-1-1 coverage. Specifically, this money is to address funding inequities and imbalances in services relative to wireless 9-1-1 coverage in rural areas throughout Michigan; and

Whereas, Money has been collected pursuant to this act, and the Department of State Police has taken steps to administer these funds. In doing so, the State Police contracted a study to identify the most effective means of extending emergency 9-1-1 services throughout Michigan. The study identified several projects; and

Whereas, One of the recommendations made by the study conducted for the Department of State Police and presented in November 2002 called for the creation of a new statewide E-9-1-1 coordinator position. This proposal is not consistent with the intent of 1999 PA 78, which is to spend this limited, one-time funding for the expansion of cellular coverage to those areas not currently covered under wireless 9-1-1 service. Establishing a new position, authority, association, or office is clearly not provided for in the statute; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Department of State Police, in its administration of funds provided for through 1999 PA 78 to extend 9-1-1 emergency services for cell phone users, to concentrate its proposals on specific projects rather than calling for the creation of a new office in state government; and be it further

Resolved, That it is our intent, and in keeping with the original intent of this fund, that all projects receiving funding through 1999 PA 78 must address funding inequities and cellular coverage in lesser populated areas of the state; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Department of State Police.

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.

Reps. Law, Gleason, Byrum, Hopgood, Anderson and Dennis, 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 Bills 4693 and 4724 because I believe this legislation is overly broad and delegates the Legislatures Constitutional authority to the Superintendent of Public Instruction.

These bills allow any rule or provision, except those addressing health or safety, parts of the laws specific to charter schools, and nonpublic schools, within the State School Aid Act or Revised School Code to be waived, if the school can link the waivers to pupil achievement. Why is the legislature trying to 'give up' its power? This allows the Superintendent to waive state law. The Constitution gives the power to legislate and create, change or repeal laws to the Legislature.

The waivers could include any or all of the following, for example:

* Teacher certification requirements,

* School Board election rules,

* School District annexation requirements,

* Requirements on school year length,

* Pupil accounting procedures,

* Testing requirements,

* Competitive bidding requirements,

* School expulsion requirements, and

* Compulsory attendance requirements, etc.

Additionally, the requirement that the Superintendent may not waive any health and safety requirement is vague as 'health and safety requirements' is not defined. Further, once a rule is waived for one school, can other schools then demand the same? It is also unclear the effect this will have on collective bargaining agreements.

For these reasons, I voted no on House Bills 4693 and 4724."

Reps. Brown, Whitmer, Adamini, Farrah, Accavitti and Gillard, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

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 passage of HB 4724 as well as HB 4693 because the legislation is too broad and delegates the State Legislature's Constitutional authority to the Superintendent of Public Instruction. These two bills would allow any rule or provision, with a few important exceptions, within the State School Aid Act or Revised School Code to be waived, if the school can link the waivers to pupil achievement. Why is the legislature trying to abrogate its constitutional authority? These two bills allow the Superintendent to waive state law -- laws that were voted on by the Legislature and signed by the Governor.

When I took office this last January, I took an oath to uphold the Constitution. The Constitution grants the power to legislate and create, change or repeal laws to the Legislature -- as legislators we should not be giving away this important power.

Moreover, these are important issues being delegated. Specifically, these waivers could include a number of important issues, including teacher certification requirements, testing requirements, pupil accounting procedures, compulsory attendance requirements, competitive bidding requirements, school expulsion requirements, School District annexation requirements and School Board election rules.

Additionally, the requirement that the Superintendent may not waive any health or safety requirement is vague as 'health and safety requirements' is not defined. Moreover, it is unclear what effect these bills would have on collective bargaining agreements.

Thus, for these reasons I voted no on House Bills 4693 and HB 4724."

House Resolution No. 85.

A resolution to urge the Michigan State Transportation Commission to amend the Governor's proposed Five Year Road & Bridge Program (2003-2007) to include certain projects.

Whereas, A dynamic and growing state like Michigan relies upon an infrastructure that is planned with vision and responsive to change. Policy actions regarding transportation should reflect the importance of dealing with growth and congestion decisively; and

Whereas, The Governor's plans to redirect more than $180 million in transportation projects from new construction projects ignores the needs of locales in our state that are experiencing significant growth. In many instances, the projects under threat are located in places that hold great promise in the challenges we face with the economy and job creation; and

Whereas, The economic benefits of the threatened road projects must not be obscured by a realignment of priorities. Even as the state faces difficult spending decisions, long-term goals cannot be sacrificed; now, therefore, be it

House Resolution No. 87.

A resolution declaring September 2003 as College Savings Month in Michigan.

Whereas, As the state of Michigan prepares to compete in the global economy of the 21st century, it is imperative that the children of our state have access to the education and skills that will ensure them success in the future; and

Whereas, Through the hard work and dedication of the families and loved ones of the youth of Michigan, students will have the opportunity to pursue higher education and a chance for educational advancement; and

Whereas, It is extremely important that our state maintain access to post-secondary education, and to encourage parents, family members, friends and neighbors to save for our young people's education; and

Whereas, Federal and state government must continue to encourage savings for the future and provide parents, grandparents, friends and businesses additional opportunities to support the educational needs and goals of our children; and

Whereas, It is in the interest of the state to ensure that the people of Michigan have the opportunity to obtain a post-secondary education and to encourage parents to save for their children's education; and

Whereas, The Michigan Education Trust, a prepaid college tuition plan, was provided by the state of Michigan as a Section 529 Qualified Tuition Plan (QTP), which was passed by our state's legislature through duly enacted laws; and

Whereas, Under the leadership of our current administration, Michigan continues to help families save for college expenses by supporting the Michigan Education Savings Program, which has been named one of the top college savings programs in the nation with nearly 56,000 accounts totaling over $183 million; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body do hereby declare September 2003 as College Savings Month in Michigan.

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.

Reps. Moolenaar, Amos, Pastor, Ward, Mortimer, Middaugh, Julian, Emmons, Hager, Bisbee, Kooiman, Stewart, Caul, Ruth Johnson, Garfield, Brandenburg, Acciavatti, Hune, LaJoy, Steil, Wenke, Nofs, Hoogendyk, Newell, Ehardt, Kolb, Anderson, DeRossett, Farrah, Sheltrown and Stakoe offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 88.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to extend the production tax credit for wind power energy development.

Whereas, In an effort to foster the development of alternate energy sources for the future, a production tax credit for wind power energy development was established in 1992. In the years since that time, significant progress has been made in the challenging work of developing clean sources of power for our country; and

Whereas, The long-term strategy behind the production tax credit for wind energy development has been impeded by the fact that this federal program faces sunset provisions every two years. Sunset provisions clearly are a productive tool to ensure sound spending policies. However, in an extended effort like developing viable wind energy technology, which has enormous capital expenses, the requirement for renewal every two years has proven to be counterproductive. Over most two-year cycles, the amount of power added through wind technology investment drops considerably in the second year, as developers worry about whether the tax credit incentive will be revived after it expires; and

Whereas, The production tax credit, like other incentives that the government has provided throughout history to encourage various development initiatives, would be far more effective if it could be extended beyond the two-year period. This emerging industry, which may one day be a key part of America's overall energy needs, will make much more significant advances with a consistent, multiple-year approach; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to extend the production tax credit for wind power energy development beyond the two-year cycle under which it now operates; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to 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 Tax Policy.

House Concurrent Resolution No. 21.

A concurrent resolution approving the conveyance of property to the State Building Authority and approving a lease between the State of Michigan and the State Building Authority relative to the Department of Natural Resources State Fish Hatchery Renovations Platte Project.

Whereas, 2001 PA 81 established the Department of Natural Resources State Fish Hatchery Renovations Project at a total authorized project cost of $23,300,000 (the State Building Authority (the "Authority") share is $20,000,000 and the State General Fund/General Purpose share is $3,300,000). The Authority's share of the project is composed of two components, the renovations of the existing Oden Fish Hatchery (the "Oden Facility") and the renovations of the existing Platte River Fish Hatchery (the "Platte Facility"); and

Whereas, The estimated project cost for the Oden Facility and the Platte Facility are $11,801,000 and $8,199,000, respectively, which in the aggregate is equal to the Authority's share of $20,000,000 for the Department of Natural Resources State Fish Hatchery Renovations; and

Whereas, The site for the Platte Facility located in Benzie County is currently owned by the State; and

Whereas, Section 7 of 1964 PA 183, as amended, being MCL § 830.417, requires the approval of the State Administrative Board and the Michigan Legislature by concurrent resolution concurred in by a majority of the members elected to and serving in each house, with the votes and names of the members voting thereon entered in the journal, before the State may enter into a lease with the Authority upon a showing of a public purpose; and

Whereas, A lease between the Authority and the State has been prepared providing for the leasing of the Platte Facility by the Authority to the State (the "Lease"); and

Whereas, The Executive Director of the Authority has furnished the Joint Capital Outlay Subcommittee of the Legislature with information and documents relative to the Lease; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That the Total Facility Cost for the Platte Facility shall not exceed $8,199,000 (the Authority share is $8,199,000 and the State General Fund/General Purpose share is $0), plus interest charges on monies advanced by the State to meet the construction cash flow requirements of the Platte Facility, if any, of which not more than $8,199,000, plus interest charges on monies advanced by the State to meet the construction cash flow requirements of the Facility, if any, shall be financed from bonds issued by the Authority, exclusive of amounts necessary for reserves, interest, or other nonconstruction costs; and be it further

Resolved, That the Legislature hereby approves the necessary conveyances of property to the Authority as more particularly described in the Lease and attachments thereto; and be it further

Resolved, That the Legislature hereby approves the Authority acquiring the Platte Facility and leasing it to the State and hereby determines that the leasing of the Platte Facility from the Authority is for a public purpose as authorized by 1964 PA 183, as amended; and be it further

Resolved, That the annual amounts of "True Rental" for the Platte Facility shall be within or below the range of $620,000 and $800,000, as shall reflect variations that may occur in the components upon which the appraisal of True Rental was based, which amounts shall be certified by the appraiser and thereafter approved by the State Administrative Board and the Authority as authorized by 1964 PA 183, as amended; and be it further

Resolved, That the Lease is hereby approved by this concurrent resolution, and the Governor and the Secretary of State are authorized and directed to execute the Lease for and on behalf of the State; and be it further

Resolved, That, by hereby approving the Lease between the State and the Authority, the Legislature agrees to appropriate annually sufficient amounts to pay the rent as obligated pursuant to the Lease; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this concurrent resolution be transmitted to the Governor, the Secretary of State, the Authority, and the State Budget Director.
