“Gracious God, You are the Creator of the Universe, Sustainer of Life, and our everlasting Father; we ask that You share Your power to help us as we shoulder the awesome burdens of guiding our state.
In our roles as legislators we do not take lightly our responsibilities as we analyze what is right and needed for the benefit of our constituents. But our task is also to seek solutions beneficial to our entire great state of Michigan and we pray, as did Solomon of old, for wisdom and strength in our leadership roles. We ask for Your guidance as we deliberate on issues today.
And so, dear Father please strengthen us, help us and guide our way as we walk with You!”

______
Rep. Geiss, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
An amendment (1A) I offered to House Bill 4377 was not allowed a record roll call vote today. My amendment would have provided for Legal Smoking Rooms as part of HB 4377. In summary, the amendment would allow restaurants and bars to have a separate space for smoking, within their establishments. The LSR would be self contained and would have to be equipped with ventilation such that no smoke is allowed to leave the room. No individual or employee would be required to enter the room, nor would they be exposed to smoke. The room would be required to close one hour before the end of normal business hours to allow for the room to fully ventilate prior to any employee being required to enter and clean the room.
It is my basic belief that an individual has the right to choose, as long as their choice does not impact another person(s). It is my opinion that my amendment would have allowed for a win-win situation for all stakeholders: 1) Non-Smokers are not impacted by smoke, 2) Employees are not impacted by smoke, 3) Smokers can pursue their enjoyment without being subjected to cold winter outside or be forced to huddle in doorways.
In addition, Detroit Metro Airport, which is in my district, has raised concerns with House Bill 4377 as presented. Specifically, international travelers would be required to exit the building, smoke, then go back through security screening checkpoints and make it to their gate during layovers. It is the opinion of the Airport that many passengers would not go through this arduous task and would simply utilize the restrooms. My amendment would provide a solution without harming non-smokers.
While I have tried to equally weigh the rights of non-smokers and smokers within the state of Michigan, the bill as presented protects some of the people some of the time, a position I cannot support. Therefore, I respectfully vote ‘NO’ for this version of the smoking ban legislation.”
______
Rep. Angerer moved that House Committees be given leave to meet during the balance of today’s session.
The motion prevailed.
By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of
