House Resolution No. 138.

A resolution commemorating June 2007 as Black Music Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, America's diverse and extraordinary musical heritage reflects the remarkable cultural and artistic history of our Nation. From gospel, blues, and jazz to rock and roll, rap, and hip-hop, our Nation's musical landscape offers an astounding array of uniquely American styles. During Black Music Month, we celebrate an important part of this heritage. Every American can appreciate and enjoy the fabulous achievements of this highly creative community; and

Whereas, Early forms of Black-American music developed out of the song, which had its roots in African tribal chants. Through this music, slaves shared stories, preserved history, and established a sense of community. Music became a source of strength and refuge. As many African slaves in early America became Christians, they adapted their music into songs and life of the church. These spirituals eventually evolved into gospel music that remains vibrant and very meaningful today. This great musical tradition developed under the leadership of Thomas Dorsey, who is known as the Father of Gospel Music. He composed many great gospel songs that have become standards, and he established the tradition of the gospel music concert; and

Whereas, Following emancipation, African-Americans enjoyed unprecedented opportunities but also faced many new oppressive challenges. Frustrations from these struggles for freedom and equality found expression in a style of music that came to be known as the blues. Innovative music geniuses, such as W.C. Handy, Robert Johnson, Reverend Gary Davis, and Mamie Smith were among the legendary pioneers of blues music; and

Whereas, As Blacks migrated throughout the United States in the early 1900s, they tapped into their collective experience and creativity to develop new expressions of music. New Orleans became the center for a particularly American form of music, jazz. This novel genre combined unique rhythm and melodies with the sounds of stringed, brass, and woodwind instruments. Jazz captured the interest of 20th century of America, making household names of great African-American artists like Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, Ella Fitzgerald, Cab Calloway, and Miles Davis. The unparalleled brilliance of these, and other great jazz musicians, had an extraordinary effect upon the American musical tradition, while bringing great pleasure to millions of fans; and

Whereas, In the 1940s, rhythm and blues emerged, synthesizing elements from gospel, blues, and jazz. From these styles came the birth of rock and roll. A fabulous array of artists helped to pioneer this modern musical transformation, including Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, and Gladys Knight; and

Whereas, Berry Gordy, an entrepreneur, started Motown Records in Detroit in the late 1950s. The music that Motown produced became the music of America's youth. This record company produced numerous artists, such as Diana Ross & The Supremes, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Marvin Gaye, and many others. "There was 'Nowhere To Run' to escape from the Motown sound, and with the onslaught of hits produced by Black-Americans that came out of Detroit, you couldn't listen to the music and say, 'It's The Same Old Song'," stated Speaker Andy Dillon; and

Whereas, Black musicians continue to evolve melodies and they have made new musical forms. In the late 1970s, a new form of music hit mainstream America, known as rap. Rap music has created a hip-hop culture which has left its indelible mark not only on America but the entire world through music, fashion, and various forms of communications. Just as Motown Records did in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, hip-hop's entrepreneurs have broken down barriers which have segregated music; and

Whereas, As we reflect on the rich and distinctive history of so many talented artists, we celebrate the incredible contributions that Black musicians, songwriters, and producers have made on the history of American music and their influence on countless forms of music around the world; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate Black Music Monthin the state of Michigan and honor the contributions that African-Americans made to this important art form. We celebrate a critically important part of the country's cultural heritage by highlighting the enduring legacy of African-American musicians, singers, and composers; and be it further

Resolved, We join with other organizations throughout the state and this country to pay tribute to those who have contributed to America's music; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Motown Museum in Detroit so that they know of our appreciation of Black-Americans' remarkable contributions to our musical heritage.

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.

Reps. Coulouris, Griffin, Byrum, LeBlanc, Warren, Bauer, Meadows, Corriveau, Bieda, Condino, Ebli, Stahl, Lemmons, Wojno, Byrnes, Sheltrown, Hood, Clack, Valentine, Brown, Donigan, Young, Robert Jones, Alma Smith, Simpson, Vagnozzi, Miller, Johnson, Melton, Mayes, Hammon, Hammel, Cheeks, Gaffney, Angerer, Jackson, Scott, Accavitti, Ball, Cushingberry, Farrah, Gonzales, Green, Hopgood, Horn, Rick Jones, Kathleen Law, Leland, McDowell, Moore, Polidori, Sak, Spade and Tobocman offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 139.

A resolution to memorialize manufacturers of products marketed for children who are seven years old or younger to remove certain toxic substances from the products and replace these substances with the least toxic substances available.

Whereas, Today manufacturers make products that are too numerous to count for the education, enjoyment, care of, and protection of children who are seven years old and younger. Young children handle these products differently than older children and adults as they spend more time touching, licking, and mouthing products. Mouthing and licking products increases a young child's exposure to the chemical substances in these products; and

Whereas, Many of these products contain toxic chemicals and compounds that may be ingested by a child that regularly licks and mouths a product or puts his or her hand to mouth after handling a product. Plastic products often contain a class of compounds called phthalates that make the plastic more flexible. Phthalates are known to affect the reproductive development of laboratory animals and are suspected of causing similar effects in humans. Metallic elementsand compounds of antimony, cadmium, chromium, lead, and mercury and nonmetallic elements and compounds of arsenic, barium, and selenium that are known to cause cancer, or damage the central nervous system, or injure other organ systems, such as the kidney or liver, have also been found in children's products; and

Whereas, Manufacturers should take all the necessary steps to remove toxic substances from products handled by children who are seven years old or younger and find the least toxic alternatives to replace the removed substances. Aleast toxic alternative substance does not include one that is characterized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as known or likely to cause cancer, or having evidence that is suggestive of causing cancer, or is listed by the State of California as being known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize manufacturers of products marketed for children who are seven years old or younger to remove certain toxic substances from the products and replace these substances with the least toxic substances available; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Manufacturers Association, the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association, and the National Association of Manufacturers.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Health Policy.

Reps. Warren, Byrnes, Gaffney, Tobocman, Wojno, Gillard, Alma Smith, Meadows, Clemente, Griffin, LeBlanc, Coulouris, Bauer, Melton, Young, Mayes, Sheltrown, Farrah, Lindberg, Lahti, Bieda, Angerer, Virgil Smith, Corriveau, Condino, Hansen, Johnson, Hammel, Hammon, Kathleen Law, Moss, Hune, Wenke, Hildenbrand, Horn, Palsrok, Huizenga, Meisner, Dean, Pavlov, Donigan, Valentine, Hood, Byrum, Accavitti, Ball, Constan, Cushingberry, Gonzales, Hopgood, Robert Jones, Leland, Lemmons, McDowell, Nitz, Polidori, Proos, Spade and Vagnozzi offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 140.

A resolution designating July 2007 as Michigan Craft Beer Month and commending the Michigan Craft Brewers.

Whereas, Michigan craft brewers are a vibrant affirmation and expression of Michigan entrepreneurial traditions, operating as community-based small businesses and providing employment for more than 1000 workers; and

Whereas, Michigan has craft brewers in every region of the state and more than 70 craft brewers statewide; and

Whereas, The Michigan Brewers Guild is celebrating its 10 year anniversary of its Michigan Summer Beer Festival this July; and

Whereas, Michigan craft brewers support Michigan agriculture by purchasing beet sugar, cherries, and apples grown in Michigan; and

Whereas, Michigan craft brewers promote Michigan's spirit of independence through a renaissance in hand-crafted beers like those first brought to Michigan by European settlers and produced here by our forefathers, including Bernhard Stroh, for the enjoyment of the citizenry; and

Whereas, Michigan craft brewers strive to educate legal drinking-age residents about the differences in beer flavor, aroma, color, alcohol content, body, and other complex variables, as well as historic brewing traditions, beer history, and gastronomic qualities of beer; and

Whereas, Michigan craft brewers champion the message of responsible enjoyment to their customers and work within their communities to prevent alcohol abuse and underage drinking; and

Whereas, Michigan craft brewers produce more than 100 distinct styles of flavorful beers, the quality and diversity of which have made Michigan the envy of many beer-drinking states, thereby contributing to balanced trade by reducing Michigan dependence on imported and other regional beers, supporting Michigan exports, and promoting Michigan tourism; and

Whereas, Michigan craft brewers are vested in the future, health, and welfare of their communities as employers providing a diverse array of quality local jobs, as contributors to the local tax base, and as committed sponsors of a broad range of vital community institutions and philanthropic causes, including non-for-profit housing development associations, chambers of commerce, humane societies, athletic teams, and medical research; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body designate July 2007 as Michigan Craft Beer Month as a celebration of the contributions that Michigan craft brewers have made to the state's communities, economy, and history; and be it further

Resolved, That we commend Michigan craft brewers for providing jobs, improving the balance of trade, supporting Michigan agriculture, and educating residents about the history and culture of beer while promoting the responsible consumption of beer as a beverage of moderation.
