Pastor Mark Van Valin, Pastor of Spring Arbor Free Methodist Church in Spring Arbor, offered the following invocation:
“Heavenly Father.
We pause this day to acknowledge You as the Source of all that is right, lovely, and true. You are God, and we, quite frankly, humbly confess that we are not.
I offer my gratitude to You for these good servants - for the representation here of such a variety of experiences, perspectives, and spheres of influence that makes the wisdom of this assembly, together, greater than any one member possesses. I thank You as well for the responsibility You have entrusted to them – that which You entrust to us all - to care for things that matter deeply to You: namely, people, and especially those among us who have no voice. This is work that You want done, and in serving others, we serve You.
We confess our need for You today. We need One Who is wiser and stronger than us. Grant us wisdom to discern the truth even if louder voices call us elsewhere. Grant us humility to serve, even when someone else gets credit. Grant us courage to do the right thing, even if it costs us. And grant us grace when we disagree, even if we are certain we are right!
The needs of our great State present a daunting challenge today. When one region suffers, we all suffer. When one region thrives, we all benefit. Lord, pour out Your Spirit of righteousness and peace on the people of the state of Michigan. Apply the promise of Your word to us today, that wherever Your people, who are called by Your name, will humble ourselves and pray and seek Your face, and turn from our wicked ways, You will indeed hear from heaven, and forgive our sin, and heal our land.
Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Farrington, Kandrevas, Clemente, Brown, Crawford, Durhal, Haines, Heise, Howrylak, MacMaster, Price, Roberts and Slavens offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 214.
A resolution to recognize the environmental achievements of Ford Motor Company.
Whereas, Ford Motor Company, a global automotive industry leader based in Dearborn, Mich., manufactures or distributes automobiles across six continents. With about 177,000 employees and 65 plants worldwide, the company’s automotive brands include Ford and Lincoln. The company provides financial services through Ford Motor Credit Company; and
Whereas, Michigan plays a central role in Ford’s worldwide operation employing about 40,000 people, the headquarters for global product development, 13 major manufacturing facilities, major test tracks, and annually purchases more than $15.5 billion worth of goods and services from Michigan based suppliers; and
Whereas, Ford’s facilities in Michigan and globally are committed to protecting human health and the environment. Ford’s policies require that operations, products, and services accomplish their functions in a manner providing responsibly for protection of health and the environment; and
Whereas, Ford is committed to meeting regulatory requirements applying to its business and regulatory compliance represents a minimum requirement when regarding health and environmental concerns. When necessary and appropriate, Ford establishes and complies with internally developed standards, which often go beyond legal mandates; and
Whereas, Ford’s policy of responsibly protecting health and the environment is based on two fundamental principles of protection of health and environment and consideration of potential health and environmental effects as well as future regulatory requirements; and
Whereas, Two of Ford’s Michigan-based facilities, Van Dyke Transmission Plant and Engine Manufacturing Development Operations, are being recognized by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality as Neighborhood Environmental Partners; and
Whereas, The Van Dyke Transmission plant opened in Sterling Heights in 1968. The plant is almost 2 million square feet in size and employs approximately 1,400 people and has been a Michigan Clean Corporate Citizen since 1997. Since its inception the plant has produced a variety of transmissions for a range of Ford vehicles. In August 2012, Van Dyke Transmission added capacity to build a hybrid transmission supporting the Ford C-MAX Hybrid, C-MAX Energi plug-in Hybrid, Fusion Hybrid, Fusion Energi plug-in Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ Hybrid; and
Whereas, Van Dyke Transmission Plant became Ford’s first North American transmission plant to achieve zero waste to landfill. In 2012, Van Dyke Transmission Plant recycled 6 tons of paper, 90 tons of wood, and 9,700 tons of scrap metal. From 2010 to 2012, Van Dyke Transmission Plant’s efforts reduced the amount of waste sent to landfill by 111 tons. General refuse is now sent to a waste to energy facility, which uses the combustion of organic materials for energy recovery; and
Whereas, Ford’s Engine Manufacturing Development Operations located in Allen Park, opened in 1979, encompassing over 220,000 square feet, is a research and development facility building advanced prototype engines. The facility employs approximately 140 people and has been a Michigan Clean Corporate Citizen since 2001. In 2012, Engine Development Manufacturing Operations recycled 43 tons of paper, 68 tons of wood and 23 tons of cardboard; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize the environmental achievements of Ford Motor Company. We honor Ford and their facilities for their outstanding commitment to the health and environment of Michigan and its residents.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Commerce.
Reps. Segal, Brown, Durhal, Heise, Howrylak, Price, Santana, Singh and Slavens offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 215.
A resolution to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Starr Commonwealth.
Whereas, In 1913, a young man named Floyd Starr purchased a ramshackle barn and 40 acres in Albion, MI, and founded Starr Commonwealth as a refuge for homeless, dependent, neglected, and delinquent boys; and
Whereas, Since 1913, Starr Commonwealth has worked to transform the lives of children and their families by creating environments where they can flourish; and
Whereas, Starr Commonwealth is internationally recognized as a leader in transformational programs for children, families, schools, and communities; and
Whereas, Starr Commonwealth’s practices and principles are supported by a century of success in the treatment of troubled youth and confirmed by emerging research in behavioral health and neuroscience; and
Whereas, Starr Commonwealth’s community-based programs, residential treatment services, educational services, and professional training represent the international standard of excellence in identifying, treating, and healing trauma and pain-based behavior, and building resiliency in children and adolescents; and
Whereas, Every member of Starr Commonwealth has a deep desire to see children and families succeed and grow, spending decades building and refining their strength-based approach to treating troubled youth; and
Whereas, Starr Commonwealth serves thousands of children, adults, families, and communities around the country through community-based early intervention and preventative services, specialized residential programs, and education services, with training programs and conferences that equip professionals from around the world; and
Whereas, Starr Commonwealth understands the importance of effective collaborations and has maintained its leadership through licensure, accreditation, and strategic alliance with national childcare and service organizations, as well as specific trade and business affiliations; and
Whereas, Starr Commonwealth welcomes families from all over the world and has impacted the lives of children from all 50 states and more than 60 countries; and
Whereas, Starr Commonwealth believes that when you treat a child with dignity and respect, it changes that child’s heart, and in the end, that is what changes a child’s life; and
Whereas, Starr Commonwealth has strived to and succeeded in changing lives, one child at a time; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the 100th anniversary of Starr Commonwealth. We offer congratulations to the organization, which is headquartered in Albion, Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That we applaud the century of hard work, commitment, and enthusiasm displayed by Starr Commonwealth to improve the lives of children throughout Michigan, the United States, and the world; and be it further
Resolved, That we extend our sincerest wishes that this outstanding organization enjoys at least another century of success, dutifully carrying out their mission and fulfilling the vision of their founder.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. McMillin, Genetski, Somerville, Howrylak, Johnson, VerHeulen, McBroom, Goike, Stallworth, Pscholka, MacMaster, Irwin, Robinson, Hooker and O’Brien offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 216.
A resolution to urge Congress to require the National Security Agency to obtain individual search warrants for a named person(s) to collect or track phone data and metadata as required by the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Whereas, The National Security Agency (NSA) has been given broad power by rulings of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to collect vast amounts of data from Americans’ cell phones and Internet usage to pursue terrorism suspects. These rulings allow the NSA to spy on Americans which contradicts our Constitution, specifically the Fourth Amendment, which requires probable cause and a search warrant to collect such data. The rulings also establish judicial precedent with almost no public scrutiny; and
Whereas, The NSA acknowledges that it collects the telephone records of millions of Americans. Data collected include phone numbers called and length of each call, and provides access to location information. Over the past decade, the NSA has also collected email metadata – including sender address, recipients, and IP addresses – and Internet sites visited; and
Whereas, More than half of Americans believe these programs encroach on our privacy and that these intrusions are unjustified. The NSA has no proof that the current system is effective. Additionally, such data collection is unethical; and
Whereas, Congress has so far failed to restrict the NSA’s violation of the constitutionally protected right to privacy of American citizens. The U.S. House of Representatives has rejected amendments which would prohibit the NSA from using federal funds to execute a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court order unless that order specifically restricted phone data collection; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge Congress to require the National Security Agency to obtain individual search warrants for a named person(s) to collect or track phone data and metadata as required by the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution; 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.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Criminal Justice.

Received from the Auditor General a copy of the following audit report and/or report summary:
Performance audit of Mental Health Services, Department of Corrections, September 2013.
Gary L. Randall
Clerk of the House
The Clerk received the following dissent on Senate Bill Nos. 50, 237 and 239, 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 Senate Bill No. 238, 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. In fact, on this occasion I carefully observed the administration of the “rising vote” that the majority claims to rely on. In this instance, I saw only one Representative in the entire chamber rise and that was the Representative from the 103rd district.
The Clerk received the following dissent on House Bill Nos. 4786, 4787 and 4961 and Senate Bill Nos. 357 and 257, 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.

The motion prevailed, the time being 2:55 p.m.
The Speaker Pro Tempore declared the House adjourned until Tuesday, September 17, at 1:30 p.m.
