Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Tobocman, Gieleghem, Woodward, Daniels, Zelenko, Minore, Kolb, Whitmer, Williams, Byrum, Waters, Drolet, Accavitti, Bieda, Farrah, Vagnozzi, Stallworth, Paletko, Hardman, Adamini, Brandenburg, Brown, Clack, Condino, Dennis, DeRossett, Ehardt, Farhat, Garfield, Gillard, Gleason, Jamnick, Lipsey, McConico, Murphy, Phillips and Woronchak offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 157.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to amend the USA PATRIOT Act to ensure national security without eroding civil liberties.

Whereas, The USA PATRIOT Act enacted by Congress and signed into law was a quick response to the terrorism of September 11, 2001; and

Whereas, The way in which the Justice Department continues to handle this law furthers the belief that we have upset the delicate balance of our system of government by eroding civil liberties in many situations. Specifically, such policies as conducting sweeping searches and surveillance without reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, the indefinite incarceration of people without access to counsel, and law enforcement access to personal information with few judicial protections are very troublesome to those who treasure civil liberties; and

Whereas, Many people in Michigan, a state rich in the diversity of its people, also are disturbed by actions and investigations that seem to be more centered on religious and ethnic groups than criminal activities. Eroding civil liberties and civil rights by targeting certain ethnic and religious groups can lead to mistrust and fear of our government and law enforcement and undermine our efforts to encourage cooperation and keep America safe; and

Whereas, Chipping away at the rights and process that are central to our national character is not what will make America stronger in the face of terrorism. Balance should be brought to the provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act to provide appropriate protections for our country without destroying human rights in a nation that clearly can do both; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to review provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act that curtail protections to our safety by violating our civil liberties; and be it further

Resolved, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to amend the USA PATRIOT Act to ensure national security without eroding civil liberties; 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 Government Operations.

Reps. Palsrok, Brandenburg, Vander Veen, LaJoy, Amos, Acciavatti, Robertson, Milosch, Sheen, Farhat, Casperson, Nofs, Shackleton, Accavitti, Adamini, Brown, Byrum, Caul, Condino, Dennis, DeRossett, Ehardt, Elkins, Garfield, Gillard, Gleason, Howell, Huizenga, Jamnick, Kolb, Kooiman, Lipsey, Meyer, Middaugh, Minore, Murphy, Paletko, Pappageorge, Pastor, Phillips, Richardville, Sak, Sheltrown, Stahl, Stakoe, Tabor, Taub, Tobocman and Voorhees offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 158.

A resolution to urge the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Canada to present a formal request to the International Joint Commission to examine the matter of invasive species within the Great Lakes basin.

Whereas, The protection, conservation, and use of the aquatic ecosystem formed by the Great Lakes basin are responsibilities shared by the United States and Canada, the eight Great Lakes states, two Canadian provinces, and the many cities that dot the shoreline. As the only state or province located entirely within the basin, Michigan has unsurpassed interest in protecting the Great Lakes from the onslaught of invasive species; and

Whereas, The Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909 established the six-member International Joint Commission (IJC) and gave it numerous powers. Among these powers is the authority to engage in joint fact finding on matters concerning boundary waters, especially within the Great Lakes basin, the largest boundary water system shared by our two countries. The United States and Canada have taken further joint actions to restore and maintain the waters of the Great Lakes through the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement of 1972 and its subsequent protocols and annexes. The agreement requires the IJC to provide assistance in this work; and

Whereas, The IJC is a science-based organization that works to address key problems facing the Great Lakes ecosystem. The IJC was specifically established to address such problems as the threat posed by invasive species; and

Whereas, Invasive species are a form of biological pollution that clearly threatens the integrity of the Great Lakes basin ecosystem. Non-native species constitute the number one threat to aquatic biodiversity. Well over 150 exotic species are now established in the Great Lakes, and new invaders are being discovered at a rate of one every eight months. The damage done to the region of the Great Lakes is staggering and includes serious harm done to both to the economy and the ecology; and

Whereas, Ballast water discharges are the primary source of invasive species introduced into the Great Lakes. The regulation of navigation and international commerce are the exclusive jurisdictions of the federal governments of the United States and Canada; and

Whereas, Many people and organizations in the Great Lakes basin have urged the governments of the United States and Canada to refer the matter of invasive species to the International Joint Commission for investigation and to recommend actions and coordinate policies to prevent further introductions of invasive species; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Canada to present a formal request to the International Joint Commission to examine the matter of invasive species within the Great Lakes basin. We urge that the request ask that the commission's study be comprehensive and include ballast water issues. We also call on the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Canada to work to provide appropriate financial support for the International Joint Commission's efforts to deal with invasive species within the Great Lakes; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the President of the United States, the Prime Minister of Canada, the United States Secretary of State, the Canadian Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the International Joint Commission.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Great Lakes and Tourism.

Reps. Taub, Drolet, LaJoy, Amos, Stakoe, Acciavatti, Bradstreet, Brandenburg, Caul, DeRossett, Ehardt, Farhat, Garfield, Huizenga, Koetje, Meyer, Milosch, Pastor, Robertson, Stahl, Tabor, Voorhees and Woronchak offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 159.

A resolution to create a select committee to review the practices and policies of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department.

Whereas, The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department is responsible for providing water services to 4.3 million people in more than 125 communities in 8 counties in southeastern Michigan. In recent years, the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department has drawn increasing criticism over apparent inconsistencies in its policies, questionable rate differences among communities, and uncertain lines of authority and communication. With the magnitude of the system's impact on the most populous region of Michigan, the operation of this system and the issues raised need to be correctly identified and addressed; and

Whereas, An audit conducted to review the department's rate setting uncovered millions of dollars in overcharges to Oakland County communities. This discovery has raised serious questions about the accuracy of rates charged throughout the system and the efficiency of many of its procedures; and

Whereas, The efficiency of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department is vitally important to Michigan's future. The massive power blackout of August 14, 2003, reignited concerns over problems with the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department. Problems could be very harmful not only to area residents and businesses but also to the state's competitiveness; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That there be created a select committee to review the practices and policies of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department, including the setting of rates throughout the system; the department's billing practices, processes, and procedures; how the department will refund overcharges; and clarifying the oversight relationship between the department and the Southeast Michigan Consortium for Water Quality. The select committee to review the practices and policies of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department shall consist of 7members of the House of Representatives appointed in the same manner as standing committees of the House of Representatives. The select committee shall report its findings and recommendations to the Michigan Legislature by June 30, 2004.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

Reps. O'Neil, Law, Dennis, Vagnozzi, Sak, Voorhees, Shaffer, Brown, Jamnick, Plakas, Anderson, Farrah, Kolb, Tobocman, Spade, Stewart, Sheltrown and Daniels offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 32.

A concurrent resolution to call for a waiver of rental fees when the Boys' State program utilizes the facilities of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Whereas, The Boys' State program provides young people with an enriching educational experience in the fundamentals of representative government. Since its origins in Illinois in 1934, this program has provided generations of students with invaluable insights into self-government. In Michigan, this exercise in governing has been in operation since it was established here in 1937; and

Whereas, While the Boys' State program features many components, including numerous activities on the Michigan State University campus, a key part of the program is the work that takes place at the Capitol. Here, the hands-on approach to dealing with issues comes alive for hundreds of students each year; and

Whereas, With the enormous stake that each citizen in Michigan has in encouraging young people to learn about government and to become involved in their own communities on all types of issues, we should be doing all we can to facilitate the success of this ambitious and worthy program; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we call for a waiver of rental fees when the Boys' State program utilizes the facilities of the House of Representatives and the Senate; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to coordinators of Boys' State of Michigan.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
