Motions and Resolutions

Rep. Ward 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.

Rep. Ward moved that House Committees be given leave to meet during the balance of today's session.

The motion prevailed.

Reps. Lemmons, III, Lemmons, Jr., Waters, Zelenko, Drolet, Virgil Smith, Gonzales, Tobocman, Farrah, Sak, Cushingberry, Cheeks, McConico and Alma Smith offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 316.

A resolution to memorialize the United States Congress to repeal or amend the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 to permit major cities to allow regulated sports betting.

Whereas, The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act limits sports betting to a small number of locations that had sports betting at the time the federal legislation was enacted. Las Vegas licensed sports pools are the most notable and most significant exception to the federal ban; and

Whereas, Large metropolitan areas are being deprived of a lucrative source of revenue in the midst of tough economic times. We live in an era when our people have a variety of gaming opportunities through the Lottery, Indian casinos, commercial casinos, bingo, and charitable gaming. While it may have made some sense in 1992 to restrict legal sports betting, the proliferation of legal forms of gaming and the existence of illegal sports betting make the continued near monopoly of Las Vegas obsolete. Our major cities should have the opportunity to strengthen their fiscal integrity by using a method already legal but denied to the vast majority of our local governments; and

Whereas, While sports betting is highly restricted in the United States, Michigan faces the unique lure of legal sports betting in our own neighborhood despite the federal ban. Windsor's casino now boasts legalized college and professional sports betting. The intent is to once again lure Michigan residents to Windsor to spend our hard-earned money. Michigan rose to the challenge of commercial gaming in Windsor by establishing our own casinos in Detroit in the last decade. Michigan can again compete with this new challenge if the federal government will allow a level playing field; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the United States Congress to repeal or amend the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 to permit major cities to allow regulated sports betting; 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. Shaffer, Accavitti, Ball, Bieda, Booher, Brown, Caul, Condino, Cushingberry, Ebli, Elsenheimer, Garfield, Gonzales, Green, Hansen, Hopgood, Rick Jones, Kolb, Kooiman, Lemmons, Jr., Lipsey, Marleau, Mayes, Meyer, Murphy, Nitz, Pastor, Pearce, Polidori, Proos, Sak, Alma Smith, Stahl, Taub, Tobocman, Vander Veen, Wojno and Zelenko offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 317.

A resolution recognizing the month of November as National Family Caregiver Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, It is with great pride that we honor and celebrate family caregivers across Michigan during National Family Caregiver Month. Approximately 50 million family caregivers nationwide have sacrificed their time and energy and offered their talents to care for the ones they love in their home rather than in a nursing home or care facility. We commend those caregivers for their tremendous acts of service and their charitable attitude toward those who don't have the strength or health to maintain a wholesome lifestyle on their own; and

Whereas, These brave men and women want to ensure their family members or close friends are receiving the best care possible. Through their efforts they can help these long-term care individuals sustain a comfortable way of life. Many family caregivers may feel the physical, mental and emotional burdens of providing care for long-term care individuals. For this reason, family caregivers can reach out for help to the National Private Duty Association for additional resources and assistance; and

Whereas, We encourage all Michigan family caregivers to continue believing in themselves and the work they do. These caregivers have touched many lives by their service and those touched will be forever grateful. Caregiver's families have also selflessly allowed them to give of their time to serve people in this capacity, and we thank them for their sacrifice. Their efforts will always be remembered and will mend the hearts and lives you save; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize the month of November as National Family Caregiver Month and commend all statewide family caregivers; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to family caregivers as a reflection of their dedication and service.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Ward 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. Lipsey, Accavitti, Bieda, Booher, Brown, Condino, Cushingberry, Gonzales, Hopgood, Kolb, Lemmons, III, Lemmons, Jr., Mayes, Murphy, Plakas, Sak, Shaffer, Alma Smith, Tobocman, Vagnozzi and Zelenko offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 318.

A resolution designating December 4th-8th, 2006, as "Promise Week" in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The Kalamazoo Promise scholarship program was announced approximately one year ago; and

Whereas, The Kalamazoo Promise provides Kalamazoo Public School graduates with the opportunity to obtain post-secondary education, at any state of Michigan institution of higher learning, with up to a 100 percent tuition scholarship; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan and the Greater Kalamazoo community recognize the importance of student success and educational excellence in creating vitality and economic development for the entire state; and

Whereas, A strong correlation has been documented between educational attainment and a community's quality of life; and

Whereas, The Kalamazoo Promise not only dramatically intensifies the Kalamazoo area's focus on and commitment to education, it also supports Governor Granholm's emphasis on the need for greater higher education opportunity; and

Whereas, The state is grateful to the generous anonymous donors who made the Kalamazoo Promise possible, and also recognizes the responsibility of every citizen to take ownership of and build on the promise of educational success and community vitality; and

Whereas, The week of December 4-8, 2006 has been set aside as "Promise Week" to highlight and foster the work of Kalamazoo community task forces in the areas of student success, educational excellence, community vitality, and economic development. We also encourage other Michigan communities to create similar higher educational opportunities; and

Whereas, Several Kalamazoo community events will be held to highlight the community's response to the announcement of the Kalamazoo Promise, to describe the importance and impact of the Promise on the greater region, and to explore ways in which individual citizens can get involved in ensuring the success of the Promise; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body designate December 4th-8th, 2006, as "Promise Week" in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That we applaud the Kalamazoo Promise and its ensuing positive benefits, including a highly educated citizenry and increased economic development. We encourage our respective communities to observe "Promise Week," to promote a dialogue on the ways that similar programs may be implemented in communities throughout the great state of Michigan, and discover ways in which we are able to build on the promise of a greater Kalamazoo for all of the citizens of the state of Michigan through personal involvement and commitment.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Ward 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.
