Help us provide for those less fortunate than us so that we all are cared for — especially this holiday season.

Remind us that it is our responsibility to make sure everyone has food, shelter, clothing, and medical care to treat our bodies and our minds.

May we represent You well in our actions and deed today and in the future. Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Roberts, Dillon, Lamonte, Switalski, Townsend, Yanez, Abed, Tlaib, Barnett, Darany and Slavens offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 275.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to extend the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program.

Whereas, The Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program is a federal program providing additional unemployment benefits to individuals who have exhausted their regular benefits provided under the unemployment insurance system. The EUC program, enacted in 2008 as unemployment skyrocketed, provides at least 14 additional weeks of unemployment benefits in all states, but for states with a high unemployment rate, like Michigan, the EUC program provides up to 47 additional weeks. However, a 2012 law amended this program, scheduling it to expire at the end of year and eliminating the gradual phase-out of the program; and

Whereas, The percentage of Americans unemployed for more than six months remains near historic highs. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 36.1 percent of the unemployed, or 4.1 million Americans, are long-term unemployed. This is ten percentage points higher than the previously recorded highest long-term unemployment rate of 26 percent in 1948. Moreover, these 4.1 million individuals are competing with the short-term unemployed and upcoming college graduates for jobs in an economy with 2 million fewer jobs than in December 2007; and

Whereas, Allowing the EUC program to expire will have significant negative consequences on the long-term unemployed and our nation’s efforts at economic recovery. If the program is allowed to expire, emergency employment benefits will be eliminated to approximately 1.3 million long-term unemployed Americans, including 44,000 Michigan residents. Moreover, by June 2014, an additional 1.9 million Americans, 86,500 from Michigan, would have qualified for these benefits but will find them unavailable. The Economic Policy Institute estimates that without an extension of the EUC program the resultant drop in consumer demand would eliminate 310,000 jobs, exacerbating an already difficult job climate; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to extend the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, 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 Commerce.

Reps. Forlini, Barnett, Crawford, Darany, Denby, Heise and Lamonte offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 276.

A resolution to urge the Italian government to continue its support for the Consulate of Italy in Detroit, Michigan.

Whereas, To reduce costs, the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in the process of evaluating its consulates world-wide for potential closures; and

Whereas, Michigan has a long history and strong connections with Italy. Detroit can date its Italian connections all the way back to its establishment; Alfonzo Tonti, an Italian, was second in command to Antoine Cadillac, the founder of Detroit. Since then, Michigan has become home to hundreds of thousands of Italians and Italian-Americans. More than 250,000 second-generation Italian-Americans and more than 35,000 Italian-born immigrants now call Southeast Michigan—where the consulate is located—home. They remain proud of their Italian heritage: participating in annual parades to celebrate this heritage, joining Italian-American organizations, and founding churches and businesses throughout the region; and

Whereas, Michigan’s connections to Italy have only grown stronger in recent years. FIAT, the Italian automobile manufacturer, now is the majority owner of Chrysler, whose headquarters are located in Southeast Michigan. The partnership between FIAT and Chrysler has led to an influx of Italian businesses locating and wishing to locate in Southeast Michigan. Michigan welcomes this activity and hopes to continue to grow these relationships between Michigan and Italy; and

Whereas, The Consulate of Italy in Detroit has been instrumental in facilitating Italian businesses establishing in Michigan. The consulate supports Italian businesses operating in Michigan, assists U.S. businesses working with their counterparts in Italy, and provides numerous essential services to Italian citizens coming to Michigan. Its continued efforts are essential in realizing the full growth potential sparked by FIAT purchasing Chrysler; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Italian government to continue its support for the Consulate of Italy in Detroit, Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Consul of Italy in Detroit, the Italian Ambassador to the United States, the U.S. Secretary of State, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Commerce.

Reps. Schmidt, Barnett, Darany, Denby, Heise, Howrylak and Lamonte offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 277.

A resolution to commemorate the 50th anniversary of SCORE Michigan.

Whereas, SCORE is a non-profit association of volunteer business professionals established in 1964 that is dedicated to educating entrepreneurs and providing mentoring services and guidance to help small businesses start, grow, and succeed in Michigan and nationwide. The association is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2014; and

Whereas, SCORE Michigan has nine chapters and over 270 volunteer business professionals who annually donate over 30,000 hours of their time and talent to help aspiring entrepreneurs and existing small businesses succeed by providing nearly 5,000 mentoring sessions free of charge and offering small business educational workshops to over 4,600 attendees; and

Whereas, In a 2012 Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC) research study, SCORE clients reported starting 735 new businesses, creating 1,215 new jobs, and generating over $75 million in total revenue growth at no cost to the state of Michigan. Fifty-three percent of SCORE’s clients served were women, 32% minorities, and 13% veterans; and

Whereas, SCORE contributes to government revenue nationally through client returns to the Federal Treasury of $59 for every $1 appropriated to SCORE as of 2012, and helped create upwards of 82,000 jobs; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the 50th anniversary of SCORE Michigan. We recognize their support of Michigan’s small businesses and entrepreneurs and celebrate the pivotal role that a business mentoring and assistance organization can have on small businesses and entrepreneurs within the state and nationally; and be it further

Resolved, That we promote the dedicated and localized stimulation of small-business throughout the state as exemplified through SCORE’s continued success.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Abed, Townsend, Dillon, Lamonte, Switalski, Yanez, Roberts, Tlaib, Barnett, Darany and Slavens offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 15.

A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to extend the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program.

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to extend the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program; and be it further
