Rep. Douglas A. Geiss, from the 22nd District, offered the following invocation:

“Dear Lord,

We praise You for leading us through this difficult year.

We praise You for reminding us that there is more right in this world than is wrong.

It is through You that we acknowledge that what unites us as Michiganders and U.S. Citizens is far stronger than any one disagreement can undo.

We are reminded that the land You have entrusted to us is a beautiful jewel and that the state of Michigan, while having faced a difficult year, will recover and prosper with Your good graces.

For we are like brothers and sisters: often each others toughest critics, but yet if ever challenged by any other, we are each others strongest supporters.

Let us also remember that You said that there is no greater love than to lay down your life for a friend.

So, at this time, let us remember those Michigan service men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice, and may we know that it is through their love of their State, their Country and their brothers and sisters that we are able to assemble here today. Amen.”

Reports of Standing Committees

The Speaker laid before the House

House Concurrent Resolution No. 30.

A concurrent resolution relative to secondary road patrol funds for counties, cities, and villages.

(For text of concurrent resolution, see House Journal No. 88, p. 2104.)

(The concurrent resolution was reported by the Committee on Intergovernmental and Regional Affairs on December 8.)

The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,

Rep. LeBlanc moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:

Substitute for House Concurrent Resolution No 30.

A concurrent resolution relative to secondary road patrol funds for counties providing road patrol services to cities, and villages.

Whereas, Section 77 of Chapter 14 of the Revised Statutes of 1846, being MCL § 51.77, as added by 1978 PA 416, being MCL § 51.77, provides funding for county secondary road patrol services pursuant to an agreement with the Office of Criminal Justice, which, pursuant to Executive Order No. 1989 – 4, is now the Office of Highway Safety Planning within the Department of State Police. An agreement also provides a maintenance of law enforcement effort standard for counties providing these secondary road patrol services, unless it is recognized that the reduction was due to cuts in general services due to economic conditions; and

Whereas, Section 76 of Chapter 14 of the Revised Statutes of 1846 (MCL § 51.76), permits road patrol services to be provided by county sheriff departments to cities and villages. This section also provides that a road patrol agreement is void if the city or village reduces the number of sworn law enforcement officers below the highest number employed at any time within the immediately preceding 36 months, unless the Michigan Legislature, by concurrent resolution, recognizes that the reduction was due to cuts in general services due to economic conditions; and

Whereas, Section 77 of Chapter 14 provides a formula for funding county secondary road patrol services. This formula permits road patrol services provided by county sheriff departments to cities and villages to be eligible for secondary road patrol funding as long as the city or village complies with the MCL § 51.76 law enforcement maintenance of effort requirement, unless any reduction is recognized to be due to cuts in general services due to economic conditions; and

Whereas, In all of Michigan’s counties, cities, and villages, general services have been reduced as a result of serious economic difficulties. These reductions in services have occurred in direct reaction to economic conditions; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That counties, cities, and villages in Michigan have been required to reduce general services because of economic conditions and are not reducing law enforcement services as stipulated in sections 76 or 77 of Chapter 14 of the Revised Statutes of 1846, as added by 1978 PA 416; and be it further

Resolved, That counties, cities, and villages have met the necessary terms of their agreements for road patrol services and secondary road patrol funding as they relate to maintenance of effort.

The motion prevailed and the substitute (H-1) was adopted, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,

______

Rep. Amash, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

HB 4327 makes a wholly redundant and unnecessary amendment to the Elliott-Larsen civil rights act.

The act already provides that an employer may not discriminate against an individual for any employment-related purpose on the basis of sex (MCL 37.2202).

The act also provides that ‘sex’ includes, but is not limited to, pregnancy, childbirth, or a medical condition related to pregnancy or childbirth that does not include nontherapeutic abortion not intended to save the life of the mother (MCL 37.2201).

HB 4327 is 100% politics and 0% substance. The only effect it will have is to increase legal costs as lawyers waste their time researching the reasons for the redundancy.”

The Speaker laid before the House

House Bill No. 5574, entitled

A bill to amend 2006 PA 480, entitled “Uniform video services local franchise act,” (MCL 484.3301 to 484.3314) by adding section 15.

(The bill was received from the Senate on December 10, with an amendment, full title inserted and immediate effect given by the Senate, consideration of which, under the rules, was postponed until today, see House Journal No. 107, p. 2483.)
