Rep. Rick Outman, from the 70th District, offered the following invocation:

“Prayer for Legislators:

Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You in the mighty name of Jesus, thanking You and praising You for our great nation and our great state. I thank You for the plan You gave to our forefathers by which to govern our nation and for the division of powers so that our destiny does not rest in the hands of one person.

In praying for those in authority, I therefore lift up our legislature to You. I pray that by Your Holy Power, our legislative bodies would make laws that are just.

Father, I ask You to give us the wisdom to make decisions that would strengthen and prosper our state. I desire that we will make right decisions concerning the politics, the social welfare, and the economics of our state. I pray that we will be motivated by Your Hand and not our own personal concerns. Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Tyler, Barnett, Brown, Constan, Crawford, Darany, Durhal, Geiss, Goike, Haines, Heise, Huuki, Knollenberg, LeBlanc, Lindberg, Liss, Price and Slavens offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 246.

A resolution to declare May 2012 as Lyme Disease Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The health and well-being of the citizens of Michigan is of paramount importance to this state; and

Whereas, Lyme Disease is a common but frequently misunderstood illness that, if not caught early and treated properly, can cause serious health problems; and

Whereas, According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the New York State Department of Health, Lyme Disease was identified and named in 1975, when arthritis was observed in a cluster of children in and around Lyme, Connecticut; and

Whereas, The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) designated Lyme Disease as a nationally notifiable disease in January 1991; and

Whereas, Lyme Disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States, accounting for 90 percent of all vector-borne infections. It is caused by the tick-borne spirochete Borrelia Burg dorferi which is transmitted to the human bloodstream by the bite of various species of ticks; and

Whereas, Children aged 5 to 9 and adults in their 50’s and 60’s experience the highest occurrence of Lyme Disease; and

Whereas, The larvae of the ticks that carry Lyme Disease often feed from mice, squirrels, raccoons, deer, rabbits, and other animals and spread the harmful disease to wildlife and family pets alike; and

Whereas, Lyme Disease can cause early symptoms such as rash and flu-like symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, headaches, and fatigue; and

Whereas, Lyme Disease can be treated with antibiotics if caught early. The disease often goes undetected because it mimics other illnesses or may be misdiagnosed. If untreated, Lyme Disease can lead to severe heart, neurological, eye, and joint problems because the bacteria can affect many different organs and organ systems; and

Whereas, During 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that a total of 22,561 cases of Lyme Disease were confirmed in the United States and 76 cases in Michigan, and the CDC indicates that the Lyme Disease reported cases were only 10 percent of actual cases that meet its surveillance criteria; and

Whereas, Lyme Disease Awareness Month provides an opportunity to focus on this significant and complex disease, to provide information on and raise public awareness of its causes, effects and treatments on both humans and animals, and to underscore important education and research efforts surrounding Lyme and tick-borne diseases; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2012 as Lyme Disease Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Switalski, Ananich, Meadows, Brown, Constan, Darany, Durhal, Geiss, Goike, LeBlanc, Lindberg, Liss and Slavens offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 247.

A resolution to declare April 30-May 6, 2012, as Screen-Free Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Screen-Free Week is an enjoyable and innovative way to improve children’s well-being by reducing dependence on entertainment screen media including television, video games, computers, and hand-held devices, thus offering time for children to go outside, read, daydream, create, explore, and spend more time with family and friends; and

Whereas, Preschool children spend an average of 32 hours a week with screen media; and

Whereas, School-age children exposed to excessive screen time may also suffer the effects of childhood obesity, sleep disturbances, attention span issues, increased psychological difficulties, negative attitudes toward school, long-term academic failure, poor homework completion, less healthy dietary habits, less physical activity, and fewer family meals; and

Whereas, The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no screen time for children under 2 and less than 2 hours per day for older children; and

Whereas, Increased screen time for toddlers leaves less time for engagement in creative play, establishing the foundation of learning, constructive problem solving, and creativity; and

Whereas, Research demonstrates the benefits of reduced screen time for children, such as a higher academic performance, healthier lifestyle, prevention for later behavioral problems, and a decreased interest in television in later years; and

Whereas, Screen-Free Week establishes the foundation for important lifestyle adjustments that will develop the well-being and quality of life in children all year round; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 30-May 6, 2012, as Screen-Free Week in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Bauer, Brown, Barnett, Constan, Darany, Durhal, Geiss, Goike, Haines, Knollenberg, LeBlanc, Lindberg, Lipton, Liss, Price, Slavens and Tyler offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 248.

A resolution to declare May 2012 as Lupus Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Each year, the Lupus Agencies of Michigan designate May as Lupus Awareness Month to show support for the 1.5 million Americans and 5 million people worldwide who suffer from the often debilitating effects of Lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease that can cause severe damage to the tissue and organs in the body and, in some cases, death; and

Whereas, Each year, thousands of people are newly diagnosed with Lupus, the great majority of whom are young people in the prime of their lives, and 90% of whom are women; and

Whereas, Lupus is most prevalent among African-Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Asians. Tragically, thousands of people die from Lupus each year because a cure remains elusive; and

Whereas, Many health professionals are unaware of symptoms and health effects of Lupus, causing people with Lupus to suffer for many years before they obtain a correct diagnosis and medical treatment, demonstrating the need for increased public and professional awareness of Lupus; and

Whereas, Medical research efforts into Lupus and the discovery of safer more effective treatments for Lupus patients are under-funded in comparison with diseases of comparable magnitude and severity; and

Whereas, Increasing community awareness and focusing public attention on Lupus and its devastating impact on patients’ lives will provide hope for a better future for those affected; and

Whereas, The Lupus Agencies of Michigan are dedicated to “improving the quality of life for individuals with Lupus and their loved ones by providing education, support and outreach services, and promoting programs of awareness, advocacy, and research”; and

Whereas, This legislative body recognizes the needs of those chronically ill people who are living with Lupus and urges all citizens to support the search for a cure and assist those individuals and families who deal with this devastating disease on a daily basis; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2012 as Lupus Awareness Month in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Governor Snyder, the Michigan Department of Community Health, and the Lupus Agencies of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Brown, Slavens, Barnett, Constan, Darany, Durhal, Geiss, Goike, Heise, LeBlanc, Lindberg and Liss offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 249.

A resolution to declare May 16, 2012, as High School Radio Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Any radio station in a high school should celebrate its existence because there are so few of them nationwide; and

Whereas, In Michigan, only one percent of the high schools in the state have a radio station and that number is dropping due to school district budget cuts; and

Whereas, Generally, only one to five percent of the students who attend a high school are actually able to work on the radio station; and

Whereas, Terrestrial and internet-only radio stations located in high schools around the country will be celebrating the day; and

Whereas, The first high school radio station ever, WNAS, was created in May of 1949; and

Whereas, Students and advisors are uniting as one on the same day to celebrate the accomplishments of high school radio shows; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 16, 2012, as High School Radio Day in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Brown, Bauer, Slavens, Barnett, Darany, Durhal, Geiss, LeBlanc, Lindberg, Lipton and Liss offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 250.

A resolution to declare May 4, 2012, as Stand for Change Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, According to the U.S. Department of Justice, a child is bullied every seven minutes; and

Whereas, One in seven students is either a bully or a victim of bullying; and

Whereas, According to the National Association of School Psychologists, 160,000 students stay home from school every day for fear of bullying; and

Whereas, Teen suicides are on the rise and bullying is often cited as a contributing factor in these tragic situations; and

Whereas, Millions of students and teachers across North America will stand for change on May 4, 2012, at 12:00 p.m. to let the world know that they will no longer tolerate bullying in their schools and communities; and

Whereas, By joining in this movement the Michigan Legislature can demonstrate its commitment to improving the lives of young people everywhere and help to save lives in the process; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 4, 2012, as Stand for Change Day in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Heise, Barnett, Brown, Byrum, Constan, Darany, Durhal, Geiss, LeBlanc, Lindberg, Lipton and Liss offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 251.

A resolution to urge the Michigan High School Athletic Association to adopt a maximum age eligibility waiver for students with disabilities.

Whereas, Currently, the Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) age eligibility rules specify that high school athletes must be less than 19 years of age, but those who turn 19 on or after September 1 remain eligible for that school year. Some high school athletes face circumstances whereby participation in sports would be unfairly limited. Students with intellectual or physical disabilities may have started their education later than most and some students may have repeated an early grade at the recommendation of education professionals for academic reasons. These student athletes may turn 19 while still in high school and not be allowed to participate in athletic endeavors that could be beneficial to their confidence, character development, and physical well-being; and

Whereas, Twenty-three other states have policies that allow high school athletes with certain disabilities or conditions to be exempted from athletic age eligibility rules. These states recognize that circumstances or conditions may intrude on an otherwise eligible athlete’s ability to meet age restrictions. High school sports should be about much more than the final score. It should be about helping athletes reach their potential by being part of a team and promoting participation and contributions by all; and

Whereas, Clearly, it is important to prevent abuse of age restriction exemptions for competitive advantage. However, the MHSAA should promote healthy and fair athletic participation for all students by adopting waivers for those students with disabilities, as defined by the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. Changing this rule would allow a few deserving students who have endured the hardship of physical or intellectual disabilities early in life to play a full four years of high school sports; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Michigan High School Athletic Association to adopt a maximum age eligibility waiver for students with disabilities; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan High School Athletic Association and the Michigan High School Athletic Association Representative Council.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Education.
