e/d/s = entered during session

Rep. Dudley Spade, from the 57th District, offered the following invocation:

“The coming spring season reminds us that new beginnings present opportunities for change. Just like the seasons, our opportunity to serve the people of this great State is short. Lord, grant each of us the strength and resolve to remember and remain true to the values that led us to seek public office. None of us will be remembered for taking a party line vote. Rather, we will be remembered for the unpopular votes; the uncomfortable votes; the votes where perhaps we stood alone, but did so because we believed it was right. Help each of us to show respect for those labeled as our adversaries and to always have the courage to challenge and disagree with our friends. We ask today that You help us grow NOT into the public servants we want to be, but into the public servants You want us to be. We recognize that all good things come through You and we thank You for giving us the opportunity to serve. We ask this through You Lord. Amen.”

______

Rep. Hansen moved that Reps. Ball, Stahl and Wenke be excused from today’s session.

House Resolution No. 304.

A resolution to oppose the expenditure of any public funds for the purpose of clarifying or repeating any portion of the results of the Michigan presidential primary election conducted on January 15, 2008.

Whereas, Due to the change of the date on which the 2008 Michigan presidential primary election was held, issues have arisen nationally regarding the votes cast for Democratic candidates in the January 15, 2008, primary election in Michigan; and

Whereas, Nationwide attention is being paid to the issue of whether Michigan’s January 15, 2008, primary election of a candidate for the Democratic Party will be taken as it stands or whether the election must be repeated through a variety of possible methods; and

Whereas, In the event it is determined that a new vote must be taken for the Democratic Party candidates, it has been estimated that funds in the amount of $10 million may be needed to finance the new vote; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan and its citizens are in the midst of difficult economic times, and the appropriation of any more funds by the state for a repeat of the January 15, 2008, election would be fiscally irresponsible; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Michigan House of Representatives, That we oppose the expenditure of any public funds for the purpose of clarifying or repeating any portion of the results of the Michigan presidential primary election conducted on January 15, 2008; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the Governor.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Ethics and Elections.

Reps. Rick Jones, Accavitti, Bauer, Bieda, Booher, Brown, Clack, Condino, Constan, Dean, Garfield, Gonzales, Hammel, Hammon, Hansen, Hildenbrand, Hopgood, Knollenberg, LaJoy, LeBlanc, Leland, Lemmons, Marleau, Mayes, Moore, Opsommer, Pastor, Pearce, Polidori, Proos, Sak, Shaffer, Sheltrown, Steil, Valentine and Wojno offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 305.

A resolution commemorating May 2008 as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, It is most appropriate to join with motorcyclists throughout the state of Michigan in commemorating May 2008 as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. This prudent observation elicits all Michigan motorists the opportunity to re-dedicate themselves to the utmost standards of highway safety; and

Whereas, The emergence of spring is synonymous with the return of motorcycle mavens to our state’s roadways. Throughout Michigan, motorcyclists have been on the cutting edge of promoting the wise and sensible use of this enjoyable mode of travel. Indeed, the disproportionate number of motorcycle fatalities makes it vitally important to encourage motorcyclists to understand and practice the highest degree of safety. It is also important to remind other drivers that highway safety is beneficial to all parties traveling on public roadways; and

Whereas, Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month encourages motorcycle operators to don proper protective riding attire; to maintain their motorcycles at a high level of safe operating conditions; to abide by the laws of the road; and to implement operating techniques providing an additional standard of safety. Additionally, car and truck drivers are informed of the fact that motorcyclists are resuming their travels on our public roadways, and each is encouraged to be exceptionally vigilant and watchful when approaching or passing a motorcycle on the highway. It is a distinct pleasure, on this occasion, to encourage all of those who share our streets that safety is every driver’s responsibility; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate May 2008 as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. All of Michigan’s citizens are urged to identify and know the different types and scope of vehicles on our public roadways and to maintain a caring attitude toward proper allocations of lanes on the road, making the roads of our Great Lakes State safer for all.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Tobocman moved that Rule 71 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.
