Dr. Tim J. R. Trumper, Senior Minister of Seventh Reformed Church in Grand Rapids, offered the following invocation:
“Our Eternal God,
You are the fountain of the life and wisdom we need, the Governor of Your creation and of our history. We praise You for Your compassion in our weakness and for Your longsuffering in our sinfulness. We thank You that You have not left us to ourselves, for You govern through these House leaders and representatives You’ve ordained, and have taught Your church to intercede for ‘all who are in high positions,’ since this is ‘good and pleasing’ in Your sight.
We honor You for their gifts, experiences, and opportunities to serve the public good. We bless You for every honest intent, constructive action, and bi-partisan overture. We rejoice in each shared burden, cooperative gesture, honest analysis, and edifying speech. We thank You for resultant laws which structure well the freedoms of the people.
We humbly petition You, dear God, to lead these honorable representatives in prioritizing issues addressed. We pray for the spotting of relevant expertise, and for wisdom in tackling the thorny social and economic issues of the day. Grant these representatives clear reasoning, worthy convictions, uninhibited courage, supportive family and colleagues, a fair-minded media and a prayerful electorate. Bless them with God-consciousness, causing them to seek You for wisdom for themselves and for rapport with their constituents.
Your power alone, O God, can change human hearts, but we pray that the laws passed may be rendered effective by Your Spirit, strengthening businesses, public servants, and local communities. Conversely, restrain in our State the evils of corruption, violence, injustice and oppression. Hear our burden for our inner cities—for an increase of sound jobs, order, vibrancy, harmony, and hope. Please bless our nation through a strong Michigan.
All this I ask through Jesus Christ, whose death is key to the forgiveness and cleansing of our persons and our service, and whose exaltation makes possible the empowerment to operate in ways which please You. Amen.”

House Resolution No. 245.
A resolution to declare October 18, 2013, as Mammography Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime; and
Whereas, Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death among women; and
Whereas, According to the World Health Organization, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide; and
Whereas, Breast cancer does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, religion, or socioeconomic status; and
Whereas, October has long been recognized across America as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in an effort to raise public awareness about the importance of early detection; and
Whereas, Efforts to promote increased mammography screening have resulted in the third Friday in October being declared National Mammography Day; and
Whereas, Mammograms can provide early detection of breast cancer in many women; and
Whereas, Mammography is the most effective weapon in the fight against breast cancer; and
Whereas, As mammography screening rates have increased, more cases of breast cancer have been found at earlier stages when chances of survival are highest; and
Whereas, The five year survival rate among women whose breast cancer has not spread beyond the breast at the time of diagnosis is 98.3 percent; and
Whereas, Women 40 and older should have a mammogram every one or two years; and
Whereas, Even with impressive progress, many women do not utilize mammography at regular intervals despite the fact that mammography is the best available method of detecting breast changes; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 18, 2013 as Mammography Day in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That the members of this legislative body urge all Michiganders to take proactive steps to reduce the risk and get appropriate screening.

House Resolution No. 246.
A resolution to declare October 20-26, 2013, as Safe Schools Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Education is paramount to the future of this state and nation; and
Whereas, Excellence in education and academic achievement is dependent on safe, secure, and respectful learning environments; and
Whereas, The safety and well-being of all students, teachers, and school staff can be jeopardized by crime and violence, bullying, aggression, substance abuse, suicide concerns, gang activity, vandalism, and absenteeism in our schools; and
Whereas, It is important to educate students on the importance of early intervention and prevention regarding threats to students, teachers, and schools by communicating with parents and authorities; and
Whereas, We encourage elementary, middle, and high schools to educate their students on gun safety, anti-bullying, and substance abuse; and
Whereas, It is important for all community leaders in the public, private, law enforcement, fire safety, emergency management, business, non-profit, and education sectors to help ensure that our schools remain safe, positive environments conducive to learning; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 20-26, 2013, as Safe Schools Week in the state of Michigan; and be it further

House Resolution No. 247.
A resolution to declare October 23, 2013, as School Bus Drivers Appreciation Day and October 21-25, 2013, as School Bus Safety Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, School bus drivers and all school transportation staff, including managers, monitors, trainers, mechanics, and dispatchers to our state’s 17,000 school buses, make tremendous contributions to the safety of our young scholars; and
Whereas, Success in education is reliant on safe, secure, and efficient routes to school and school settings; and
Whereas, The safety record for school buses continues to surpass that of all other modes of transportation; and
Whereas, School bus drivers must undergo special training and maintain excellent driving records; and
Whereas, The safety and well-being of approximately 850,000 students in Michigan are dependent on school bus drivers and the school transportation team to get them to and from school and other events in a safe, dependable manner; and
Whereas, The week of October 21-25, 2013, will be designated as National School Bus Safety Week and the Wednesday of that week will be designated as National School Bus Drivers Appreciation Day to acknowledge the importance of providing convenient and reliable transportation to students around the country; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October, 23, 2013, as School Bus Drivers Appreciation Day and October 21-25, 2013, as School Bus Safety Week in the state of Michigan. We celebrate the daily commitment and contributions that school bus drivers, managers, trainers, monitors, mechanics, and dispatchers make for the sake of our youth, and support the goals and ideals of National Bus Safety Week and National School Bus Drivers Appreciation Day.

House Resolution No. 248.
A resolution to declare October 20-26, 2013, as Teen Driver Safety Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Motor vehicle crashes remain the primary cause of death for teenagers and many of these deaths are preventable; and
Whereas, Three out of five accidental deaths for teens ages 16-20 are due to motor vehicle crashes; and
Whereas, Teen drivers are four times more likely than adult drivers to be involved in a fatal motor vehicle crash; and
Whereas, Teen drivers should expect support in driving from a trusted adult; and
Whereas, Teens that say their parents set rules and support them are half as likely to crash as teens who say their parents are not involved; and
Whereas, Driving too fast for road conditions, being distracted, and failing to detect a hazard are three common errors accounting for nearly half of all serious teen crashes; and
Whereas, Nineteen percent of fatal teen crashes are due to drunk driving; and
Whereas, Approximately two-thirds of adolescents killed in motor vehicle accidents do not use seatbelts; and
Whereas, The presence of teen passengers increases the crash risk of unsupervised teen drivers and this risk increases with the number of teen passengers; and
Whereas, The crash risk is especially high during the first year that teenagers are eligible to drive; and
Whereas, It is imperative to examine effective ways to reduce the crash risk for young adults by focusing research and outreach efforts on encouraging safe teen driving habits; and
Whereas, Officially recognizing the third week of October as Teen Driver Safety Week in Michigan is expected to raise awareness of these important statistics and issues; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 20-26, 2013, as Teen Driver Safety Week in the state of Michigan. We support the goals and ideals of Teen Driver Safety Week in advocating for the support of parents in teaching their children to drive responsibly. We encourage the people of Michigan to properly observe such a week with activities and programs that promote safe teen driving among licensed teen drivers.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.

Announcements by the Clerk
The Clerk received the following dissent on House Bill Nos. 4966, 4969, 4967, 4968 and 5048, Senate Bill Nos. 489, 490 and 332 and House Bill No. 5049, 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.
Rep. Farrington moved that the House adjourn.
The motion prevailed, the time being 2:15 p.m.
Associate Speaker Pro Tempore O’Brien declared the House adjourned until Tuesday, October 22, at 1:30 p.m.
