Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Mayes, Accavitti, Ball, Bieda, Brown, Byrum, Caswell, Clack, Condino, Constan, Coulouris, Cushingberry, Dean, Donigan, Espinoza, Farrah, Gonzales, Hammel, Hammon, Hansen, Hopgood, Rick Jones, Robert Jones, Kathleen Law, LeBlanc, Lemmons, Marleau, McDowell, Meadows, Meisner, Polidori, Proos, Shaffer, Alma Smith, Spade, Tobocman, Vagnozzi, Valentine and Warren offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 76.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to provide resources to address the Colony Collapse Disorder affecting honeybees.
Whereas, Michigan and the nation's agricultural industry rely on honeybees to pollinate plants and enable the production of our nation's fruits, vegetables, seeds, and nuts. Honeybees pollinate at least 90 commercial crops and account for 80 percent of the nation's pollination services, providing $5 billion to $10 billion of direct benefits to United States agriculture; and
Whereas, Honeybees in Michigan and 25 other states have succumbed to a mysterious ailment referred to as Colony Collapse Disorder, where honeybees abandon their hives. In affected states, beekeepers lost up to 50 percent of their colonies last winter, threatening Michigan's $383 million fruit industry and billions of dollars of agricultural production nationwide; and
Whereas, Immediate research is needed to determine the cause of Colony Collapse Disorder and assistance to supportour nation's 135,000 beekeepers and the agriculture industry from this potentially crippling threat; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to provide resources to address the Colony Collapse Disorder affecting honeybees; 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 Agriculture.
Reps. Kathleen Law, Farrah, Mayes, Wojno, Johnson, Young, Scott, Hopgood, Spade, Polidori, Vagnozzi, Bauer, Leland, Jackson, Tobocman, Byrum, Brown, Bieda, Accavitti, Clack, Donigan, Constan, Cushingberry and Meisner offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 77.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to fund fully the Select Michigan agricultural program through the United States Department of Agriculture.
Whereas, Access to fresh and nutritious food products is vital to the health and well-being of Michigan residents. Michigan farms, which are second in the nation in the diversity of agricultural products grown, provide residents with a wide variety of locally grown fruits and vegetables. Identifying and marketing these products to the local population enables residents to support Michigan's agricultural industry, which contributes significantly to Michigan's economic well-being. The impact of agriculture on Michigan's economy is estimated to be $60.1 billion annually and growing; and
Whereas, The Michigan Department of Agriculture introduced the Select Michigan campaign in the Grand Rapids area to encourage Michigan residents to purchase locally grown and produced foods. Recently expanded to the Detroit area, the program uses posters, banners, and stickers in Michigan grocery stores and farmers' markets to identify locally grown food products. Since 2001, the Select Michigan program has highlighted the numerous Michigan-grown products available in the state, including apples, asparagus, blueberries, cherries, chestnuts, corn, dry beans, honey, maple syrup, peaches, and strawberries; and
Whereas, In 2001, a one-time block grant of $3.75 million from the United States Department of Agriculture provided support to launch the Select Michigan program. The program is able to continue due to a unique funding partnership involving the private sector and the federal government. However, to ensure all Michigan residents have access to fresh and nutritious locally grown food products and allow the Select Michigan program to expand to encompass the state, full funding of this program by the federal government is necessary; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to fund fully the Select Michigan agricultural program through the United States Department of Agriculture; 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, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and the United States Secretary of Agriculture.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Agriculture.
Reps. Polidori, Bieda, Hopgood, Scott, Brown, Wojno, Clemente, Leland, Johnson, LeBlanc, Cushingberry, Vagnozzi, Constan, Kathleen Law, Virgil Smith, Hood, Gonzales, Pastor, Pearce, Rick Jones, Gillard, Sheltrown, Stakoe, Lemmons, Melton, Ebli, Warren, Hammel, Spade, Alma Smith, Valentine, Hammon, Donigan, Robert Jones, Lindberg, Young, Farrah, Accavitti, Mayes, Cheeks, Clack, Meadows, Meisner, Nofs, Ball, Brandenburg, Condino, Dean, Espinoza, Hansen, Marleau, McDowell, Miller, Moss, Sak and Tobocman offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 78.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact H.R. 1619 or S. 587, to direct the Secretary of the Treasury to mint coins to commemorate the Model T Ford.
Whereas, Michigan's integral role as the heart of the automobile industry in our country and around the world is well established. Nearly 100 years ago, an especially meaningful chapter in this long history began with the opening of the Highland Park Ford Plant that is acknowledged to be the birthplace of the assembly line. In addition, the more than 15million Model T Fords that were built between 1908 and 1927 reshaped the American landscape and our way of life; and
Whereas, The new age in manufacturing that was born in Michigan and the Model T Ford set in motion changes in how Americans live and how people travel around the world. The rise in the American middle class, the ability to prevail in defense of our nation in world wars, and subsequent technological advances all can be traced in significant measure to the automobile industry that began with the vision and hard work of the pioneer mechanics in Michigan; and
Whereas, Congress has before it legislation that would require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint not more than 500,000 coins to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Model T Ford automobile. Under this legislation, these dollar coins, which would be public tender, would be comprised of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper. The legislation also provides that the money raised by a surcharge above the face value would be distributed to the Motor Cities National Heritage Area through the Automobile National Heritage Partnership and to the Edison Institute. This money would create endowments to support the celebration of the Model T and the preservation of its story through educational programs and displays; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact H.R. 1619 or S. 587, to direct the Secretary of the Treasury to mint coins to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Model T Ford; 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.

House Resolution No. 79.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact the Prevention First Act to increase access to birth control to prevent unintended pregnancies and reduce the need for abortions.
Whereas, Improving access to preventive health care and supporting healthy families should be a shared national goal. Increased government funding would ameliorate the problems of unintended pregnancies and high rates of sexually-transmitted disease, as well as the current insufficient levels of funds to address these crises; and
Whereas, The Prevention First campaign is a family planning initiative that expands access to preventive health care services and education programs to help reduce unintended pregnancy, prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections, and support healthy families by improving women's health. Increasing funds to Title X clinics to provide family planning services should be a priority; and
Whereas, Private health plans should be required to cover FDA-approved prescription contraceptives and related medical services. The development and dissemination of information about and access to emergency contraception (EC) to the public should be a priority. Comprehensive, medically accurate sex education programs should be required that teach young people about abstinence, health, and contraceptives; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives that we memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact the Prevention First Act to prevent unintended pregnancies and reduce the need for abortion; 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 Judiciary.

House Concurrent Resolution No. 20.
