Pastor Rodney McTaggart of Bread of Life Team Ministries of Saginaw offered the following invocation:
Heavenly Father, I stand before this honored assembly as we seek Your holy presence. Lord, we ask that You would bless this chamber; the assembly of men and women who are gathered here to carry out Your work in serving the citizens of the state of Michigan. Father, we the people of the state of Michigan are grateful to You, Almighty God, for the blessings of the freedoms that we enjoy. And, Lord, we do earnestly desire to secure these blessings undiminished to ourselves and our posterity by obedience to You and to Your word.
Lord, we come before You today to ask Your forgiveness in the areas that we have failed You; and we seek Your directions and guidance in this chamber, that we would not seek our own will but that we would seek Your will to be done. Father, I ask that this Senate chamber would be granted empowerment to discern Your heart concerning good and evil, right and wrong. Father, I pray that the true unity would be birthed within this chamber today; that it would not be based upon party allegiance but upon Your righteousness.
Father, I want to thank You for the men and women who have stood boldly against pornography and the propitiation of aberrant lifestyles and behavior. Lord, I desire to remind You that many in this chamber have stood to protect the rights of the unborn and have honored You and Your word concerning the value You have placed on human life.
Lord, we need Your blessing at this time. Father, I ask that You would give these noble men and women the wisdom to help the poor and needy without rewarding those who have no ambition and no desire to exploit our generosity and genuine concern. Lord, I would ask that this Senate would continue to embrace the advancement and strengthening of the nuclear family based upon the traditional values of those who have come before us. I would ask that Your wisdom would prevail as decisions are being made concerning the family and parental rights.
Lord, I would ask You to search our hearts today so that we would not be found lacking in anything that would keep us from being free to serve You. Lord, with nobility I ask that we would skillfully serve the people of this great state of Michigan.
Finally, Father, I would ask that You would bless and guide these men and women who have been ordained by You to help govern this state. Grant them Your wisdom, and may their decisions be directed by Your divine counsel and judgment. I ask this to be done in Jesus’ holy name. Amen.
The President, Lieutenant Governor Cherry, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Statements
Senators Scott and Hunter asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Scott’s statement is as follows:
L. Douglas Wilder, the first African-American elected governor, said, “The future must be planned today. We may never see it in our lifetimes, but the success of our ventures will impact future generations.” While I highly respect Mr. Wilder as a legislator and former governor, when it comes to the issue of insurance, I hope to goodness he is wrong. Yes, the future must be planned today, but I definitely plan to live long enough to see the success of our ventures. In fact, I hope to see it during this Senate session.
That’s why I stand before you every day to remind you of the urgency and importance of this effort. Of course, it will impact future generations, but we must act so that its impact will be felt immediately by all Michigan residents struggling to pay their bills while burdened with unaffordable insurance premiums. We must act now.
Senator Hunter’s statement is as follows:
Through you to my colleagues, the citizens of Michigan and across the country, we are in very challenging times now. The winds of change are around us, so let the battle cry go forth: “Yes we can; yes we can.”
Committee Reports
The Committee on Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs reported
Senate Resolution No. 86.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to reject legislation that would preempt the authority of the Great Lakes states to curb the release of ballast water.
(For text of resolution, see Senate Journal No. 75 of 2007, p. 1129.)
With the recommendation that the following substitute (S-2) be adopted and that the resolution then be adopted:
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to reject legislation that would preempt the authority of the Great Lakes states to curb the release of ballast water.
Whereas, Ballast water discharges from ships entering the Great Lakes are the leading pathway for the introduction of aquatic invasive species. Since the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959, ocean-going ships have introduced more than 30 new species to the Great Lakes; and
Whereas, Once introduced and established, aquatic invasive species are nearly impossible to eliminate and costly to control. Zebra mussels and other aquatic invasive species introduced from ballast water have irrevocably changed the Great Lakes and directly cost cities and industries—and indirectly cost Great Lakes residents—tens of millions of dollars per year to control; and
Whereas, Current federal ballast water regulations designed to protect the Great Lakes are ineffective. At least eleven new aquatic invasive species have been introduced from ballast water since current requirements for ballast water exchange with open ocean water went into effect, including the recent introduction of viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) that directly threatens the $4.5-billion Great Lakes fishery; and
Whereas, The ocean-going shipping industry has shown little urgency over the last two decades to develop and install ballast water treatment technology, even as it introduced more and more aquatic invasive species to new regions. Rather, the industry has continuously fought efforts in the United States Congress, state legislatures, and the courts to require expeditious treatment of their ballast water. For every year treatment is not required for ballast water, an additional one to two new species, with unknown but potentially devastating impacts, make the Great Lakes their permanent home; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan has succeeded in identifying and requiring treatment technologies that would provide additional protection to the Great Lakes; and
Whereas, Federal ballast water legislation, such as the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2007 (H.R. 2830) and the Ballast Water Management Act of 2007 (S. 1578), would preempt Michigan’s efforts to protect its waters from further degradation. Preempting state actions before strong federal treatment standards are in place would leave the Great Lakes vulnerable to future invasions. This shortsighted approach undermines the millions of dollars and thousands of hours spent each year working to restore the Great Lakes to a healthy, self-sustaining system; and
Whereas, The Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2007 and the Ballast Water Management Act of 2007 would also set a precedent for future federal actions that restrict state authority to protect essential natural resources. Clearly, Michigan and other states are best suited to make decisions that keep waters safe, clean, and healthy for its residents with regulations, when needed, above and beyond minimum federal requirements; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to reject legislation that would preempt the authority of the Great Lakes states to curb the release of ballast water; 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.
