Rep. Amanda Price, from the 89th District, offered the following invocation:
“Heavenly Father,
As we gather here together today to do the people’s business:
-we praise You for the first breath of spring as it sighs across patches of snow
-we praise You for the return of the warm sun as it envelopes our shoulders
-we praise You for the everyday blessings of life You have showered down on us
Whatever small amount of understanding we have of the majestic universe You created, Father, we know that over 2,000 years ago today, You weren’t thinking about whether You had a Spring Break or an In-District Work period or not.
You, Father, were on a mission.
We have no idea what it felt like:
-to place Judas in the womb of His mother knowing that He would betray Your son
-or to form the iron ore that would become the nails that pierced His hands
-or to grow up a tree that would make Your son’s cross
But we do know, Father,
That it was Your plan
That Your son die
On that cross,
For all our sins.
Because You love us that much.
May we respond in deep gratitude and Glorify You all the days of our lives.
And All God’s Children said,
Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Abed, Barnett, Brown, Driskell, Durhal, Geiss, Lipton, Roberts, Schor, Slavens, Stanley, Switalski and Tlaib offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 337.
A resolution to declare April 8, 2014, as Pay Equity Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Nearly 50 years after the passage of the Equal Pay Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, women and people of color continue to suffer the consequences of inequitable pay differentials; and
Whereas, According to statistics released in 2011 by the U.S. Census Bureau, year-round, full-time working women in 2010 earned only 77 percent of the earnings of year-round, full-time working men nationally and 74 percent in the state of Michigan, indicating little change or progress in pay equity; and
Whereas, Higher education is not free from wage discrimination. According to a U.S. Department of Education analysis, after controlling for rank, age, credentials, field of study, and other factors, full-time female faculty members earn nearly 9 percent less than their male counterparts; and
Whereas, According to statistics released in 2011 by the U.S. Census Bureau, Michigan women earned only $36,931 compared to men making $50,053. Looking at year-round, full-time college educated workers, Michigan women earned 74 percent of the earnings of their male counterparts, with Michigan ranking 45th in the nation; and
Whereas, Over a working lifetime, this wage disparity costs the average American woman and her family $700,000 to $2 million in lost wages, impacting Social Security benefits and pensions; and
Whereas, Fair pay equity policies can be implemented simply and without undue costs or hardship in both the public and private sectors; and
Whereas, Fair pay strengthens the security of families today and eases future retirement costs, while enhancing the American economy; and
Whereas, April 8, 2014, symbolizes the time in the new year in which the wages paid to American women catch up to the wages paid to men from the previous year; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 8, 2014, as Pay Equity Day in the state of Michigan. We urge Michigan’s citizens to recognize the full value of women’s skills and significant contributions to the labor force and encourage businesses to conduct an internal pay evaluation to ensure women are being paid fairly.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Lori, Barnett, Brown, Driskell, Durhal and Slavens offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 338.
A resolution to declare April 26, 2014, as Save The Frogs! Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Our state is blessed with numerous wetlands, streams, lakes, and rivers within its boundaries; and
Whereas, Numerous species of amphibians and other animals inhabit these wetland areas; and
Whereas, Amphibians, including the twelve species of frogs indigenous to the state, are among the most threatened animals on the planet, with two hundred species having become extinct worldwide since 1979; and
Whereas, Frogs provide invaluable services to humans by being an integral part of the natural food web in nature and eating large quantities of ticks, mosquitoes, and other pest species that serve to carry diseases that can transmit fatal illnesses to humans; and
Whereas, As the natural food for many native fish, reptiles, birds and mammals, they provide sustenance to other species that we enjoy; and
Whereas, Frogs face a multitude of threats, including pollution, pesticides, habitat destruction, climate change, invasive species, infectious disease, and over-harvesting for the pet and bait trades and for food; and
Whereas, The citizens of the state deserve to have the pleasure to enjoy the sights and sounds of frogs in their native habitats and amphibian conservation efforts will not be successful without an educated and informed public; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 26, 2014, as Save The Frogs! Day in the state of Michigan. We urge all citizens to observe this occasion.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.

Whereas, Childhood obesity has continued to be an epidemic in Michigan; and
Whereas, There are a variety of well-documented health-related issues associated with childhood obesity; and
Whereas, Michigan ranked 24th in the nation in childhood obesity for 10 to 17 year olds in 2011, according to the National Council of State Legislators; and

Whereas, The risk of stroke increase as body mass index increases, according to the National Institutes of Health; and
Whereas, There is an increased risk of osteoarthritis due to the increased pressure on a person’s joints that comes with obesity, according to the National Institutes of Health; and
Whereas, A number of public and private entities in Michigan recognize the need to better promote healthy lifestyles for our residents; and

Whereas, The third foundation is maintaining a strong doctor-patient relationship including annual physical examinations; and
Whereas, The fourth foundation is to avoid tobacco use; and
Whereas, The State of Michigan continues to work with many different groups and individuals to fight the issue of both Childhood and Adult Obesity; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That members of this legislative body declare May 2014 as Childhood Obesity Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, More than 17,000 of Michigan’s children and youth have been directly affected by the military deployments of at least one parent; and
Whereas, These children and youth are a source of pride and honor to us all, and it is only fitting that we take time to recognize their contributions, celebrate their spirit, and let our men and women in uniform know that while they are taking care of us, we are taking care of their children and youth; and

Whereas, It is with a deep sense of respect for the memory of the millions of men, women, and children who perished during the Holocaust at the hands of the Nazis and for the men and women who have been touched by this horror throughout their lives that we offer this expression of tribute; and
Whereas, We also honor the valor of non-Jews who fought against tyranny and evil and exposed themselves and their families to danger while saving many Jews from concentration camps and death. We are proud, humbled, and honored to memorialize their amazing courage and their enormous sacrifices; and
Whereas, Many decades have passed since the Holocaust came to an end, yet the trauma of this horrible event is still experienced by all who survived. Their numbers dwindle with each passing year and it is up to others to keep the world aware and to firmly avow that the atrocities of the Holocaust will never be repeated; and
Whereas, We will recognize the Holocaust Commemoration Ceremony on April 24, 2014, in memory of the liberation of Nazi concentration camps and the subsequent prosecution under international law of the major Nazi war criminals; and
Whereas, We urge the citizens of this state to strengthen the resolve that this nightmare may never be forgotten; now, therefore, be it
