“Gracious God and heavenly Father, we come before You this day, thanking You for the love and mercy You’ve shown towards us. Thank You for the gift of Your son Jesus Christ and the work He finished on the cross so many years ago. As these men and women begin session today, we ask that You would guide them with wisdom beyond their years and help them to use Your Word as the guidepost for every decision they will make. Help us all to live by the principles from Your Word which says, ‘To do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God’. We thank You for this great nation and the freedoms that have been bestowed upon us! We also thank You for this great state of Michigan and for all the elected officials You have placed into positions of leadership. Please have Your hand upon them today and we pray all these things in Your Son’s name and my great saviors name Jesus Christ, - AMEN.”

Announcements by the Clerk
The Clerk received the following dissent on House Bill No. 4002, from Rep. Irwin:
I continue to object to the use of procedural tricks to subvert the Constitutional rights of citizens to know accurately the actions of the House of Representatives. Motions for immediate effect are routinely gaveled through without even a pretense of vote counting. This motion requires support from 2/3rds of the members and there is no genuine effort to ascertain the level of support for immediate effect. I object to this practice and I object to the erroneous assertions printed in the House Journal that suggest an authentic counting of votes occurred on the House floor.
The Clerk received the following dissent on House Bill No. 4126, from Rep. Irwin:
I continue to object to the use of procedural tricks to subvert the Constitutional rights of citizens to know accurately the actions of the House of Representatives. Motions for immediate effect are routinely gaveled through without even a pretense of vote counting. This motion requires support from 2/3rds of the members and there is no genuine effort to ascertain the level of support for immediate effect. I object to this practice and I object to the erroneous assertions printed in the House Journal that suggest an authentic counting of votes occurred on the House floor. This procedural short-circuiting of the Constitutional protections afforded to the people was especially important in granting immediate effect to HB 4126 because less than 2/3rds of the members supported its passage, an indication that more than 1/3rd of the members might have preferred to allow citizens the opportunity to prepare for this change in the law.
The Clerk received the following dissent on House Bill No. 4330, from Rep. Irwin:

The Clerk received the following dissent on House Bill No. 4329, from Rep. Irwin:
I continue to object to the use of procedural tricks to subvert the Constitutional rights of citizens to know accurately the actions of the House of Representatives. Once again, on HB 4329, immediate effect was ordered without a bona fide vote. Motions for immediate effect are routinely gaveled through without even a pretense of vote counting. This motion requires support from 2/3rds of the members and there is no genuine effort to ascertain the level of support for immediate effect. I object to this practice and I object to the erroneous assertions printed in the House Journal that suggest an authentic counting of votes occurred on the House floor.
The Clerk received the following dissent on House Bill No. 4382, from Rep. Irwin:
I continue to object to the use of procedural tricks to subvert the Constitutional rights of citizens to know accurately the actions of the House of Representatives. Once again, on HB 4382, immediate effect was ordered without a bona fide vote. Motions for immediate effect are routinely gaveled through without even a pretense of vote counting. This motion requires support from 2/3rds of the members and there is no genuine effort to ascertain the level of support for immediate effect. I object to this practice and I object to the erroneous assertions printed in the House Journal that suggest an authentic counting of votes occurred on the House floor.
