Senator Michael Switalski of the 10th District offered the following invocation:
Good morning, Lord. It's the first day of autumn. We appreciate these warm, cloudless days and the cool nights perfect for sleeping. We look forward to Your beautiful Michigan fall. By all means, use Your full palette as You paint the trees in blazing scarlets and yellows, framed by Your blue heaven. Make us gasp when Your harvest moon leaps over the horizon, bathing everything in golden light.
Help our friends over in the House make a good decision today on the state budget. Remind us all that even when we disagree over what's best for our state, we share a common goal of a better Michigan. Help us to respect each other and debate issues in ways that uplift our constituents and ennoble our democracy.
Finally, thank You for the successful Ryder Cup golf tournament. It was a unique chance to showcase our state and our region. Thanks for allowing us to entertain visiting friends and relatives and guest from overseas, and for letting them enjoy themselves so much. It was strangely satisfying to see our rivals from Europe having fun, reveling in the competition and winning over the galleries with their gracious conduct.
Thanks for this splendid lesson in how to live. Open our hearts to sportsmanship and laughter. Awaken in us the humanity to share cigars after missing life's three-foot putts.
The life You have given us is a gift. Our task is to find ways to enjoy it. With Your help, we'll find the way. Amen.
The President, Lieutenant Governor Cherry, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Protest
Senator Basham, under his constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against passage of House Bill No.5809 and moved that the statement he made during the discussion of the bill be printed as his reasons for voting "no."
The motion prevailed.
Senator Basham's statement is as follows:
I rise to oppose House Bill No.5809. We have all seen the stories about obese men and women around the country who have decided to file suit against the fast-food industry. Not one of these suits has been filed in Michigan. Michigan already has a statute on the books to eliminate frivolous lawsuits and protect defendants. But we cannot begin to limit our citizens' access to the courts because if we don't allow suits on this issue, what product liability issue is next.
After we eliminate suits against fast-food restaurants for obesity, will we then eliminate suits for neglecting the personal safety of customers? What if the restaurant industry begins to willfully violate food safety regulations? When will the Legislature eliminate lawsuits for that? What if the restaurant industry allows 43 cancer-causing chemicals to pollute the lungs of its customers? Wait, they do. There are those who once thought that tobacco lawsuits were frivolous.
The truth, Mr.President, is that this bill isn't about frivolous lawsuits. It's about limiting the access of people to the courts and protecting huge multi-national corporations from being held responsible for their actions.
The following bill was read a third time:
House Bill No.5527, entitled
A bill to make, supplement, and adjust appropriations for various state departments and agencies and capital outlay for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2005; and to provide for the expenditure of the appropriations.

Statements

House Bill No.5534
House Bill No.5782
House Bill No.5783
Senator Garcia stated that had he been present on September 21 when the vote was taken on the passage of the following bill, he would have voted "nay":
Senate Bill No.1130
Senator Scott asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Scott's statement is as follows:
The basic premise of our state's auto insurance industry is that, in Michigan, auto insurance is regulated by state law on a competitive basis. What this means is that rates cannot be considered excessive so long as there is competition among insurance companies.
Michigan currently has approximately 65 insurance companies listed in the buyer's guide who are competing with one another for customers by offering what should be a variety of rates and services. State law also dictates the factors that insurance companies may use when setting their auto rates. Some of these factors make sense and indeed should be given consideration when setting rates. These factors include: the type of vehicle you own, your driving record, and your age or length of driving experience. The one factor listed that I have some serious concerns with is the factor that includes where you live.
I know that many of you are shaking your heads and saying, "Oh no, here we go again," as I stated yesterday. But it would be negligent of me if I didn't continue my fight for the thousands of ratepayers who are being penalized just because of where they live. As I pointed out earlier, state law provides a whole list of factors that should be considered when determining rates. All I am asking is that insurance companies consider all of these factors when setting rates for Detroiters and citizens in other urban areas. Let's consider the fact that there are many experienced drivers in Detroit with impeccable driving records, who deserve a fair and equitable rate on their auto insurance and who shouldn't be paying three times more simply because they reside in Detroit and urban areas.
I thank my colleagues again for their understanding and their consideration of my passion for this issue.
