Pastor Gib Giblin, Pastor of Midland Evangelical Free Church in Midland, offered the following invocation:
“Thank You for the MEN AND WOMEN in this room! They are DEDICATED to serve and help Your people. We RECOGNIZE that we grow and perform best under pressure but we don’t enjoy the process. We pray together for this day. WE NEED YOUR HELP.
Lord God, You are the creator of all we see. You knew from eternity we would be here today. There is nothing that goes beyond Your grasp and purpose: our anxious thoughts, our doubts or even an election.
We need and humbly ask and seek Your help, guidance and intervention to be able to think and act justly and mercifully. Help us to view our responsibilities courageously. Strengthen us to not turn away from doing the hard and difficult but necessary tasks.
God, we need Your wisdom from above to lead us. To know what is important and what is superfluous. Help us to work together. Help us to hold ‘In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, and in all things charity.’
Here I am! Mold me, make me, change me into whatever instrument You need.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Rendon, Yanez, Kurtz, Lauwers, Daley, Johnson, Pettalia, Franz, Goike, VerHeulen, Jenkins, Cotter, Santana, Singh, Schor, Olumba, Barnett, Crawford, Howrylak, Kelly, LaVoy and Slavens offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 409.
A resolution to declare September 15-October 15, 2014, as Hispanic Heritage Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the long and important presence of Hispanic and Latino Americans in North America, starting with the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus on October 12, 1492; and
Whereas, This month represents the anniversary of independence for Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua; and
Whereas, Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America; and
Whereas, Each year the United States recognizes the economic, cultural and social contributions that Spanish-speaking peoples have brought to our nation including the gifts of law, religion, agriculture, art, music, education, technology, architecture, cuisine, theater and exploration; and
Whereas, Time and again throughout our nation’s history, Hispanic-Americans have faithfully defended the principles of freedom and a representative government; and
Whereas, 18th-century North America had a Hispanic presence, from the small outpost of San Francisco founded in the desolate wilderness of Alta California in 1776, through the Spanish province of Texas with its vaqueros (cowboys), to the fortress of St. Augustine, Florida — the first continuous European settlement in North America, founded in 1565, long before Jamestown, Virginia; and
Whereas, Hispanic Heritage Week was approved by president Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period (September 15 - October 15), and enacted into law on August 17, 1988 as Public Law 100-402; and
Whereas, Michigan is fortunate to count among its population a large concentration of citizens of Spanish and Latin American descent – including those who have lived in Michigan for generations and those who are new to the Great Lakes State – who contribute to Michigan’s economy and society through their commitment to professions, commerce, family, and the arts; and
Whereas, During the month spanning from September 15 through October 15, Michigan’s Hispanic-American community will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month through a series of special programs featuring Hispanic history, food, dance, and art; and
Whereas, September 15 is starting point for the celebration because it is the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, when they all declared independence in 1821; and
Whereas, Mexico, Chile and Belize celebrate their independence days on September 16, September 18, and September 21, respectively; and .
Whereas, National Hispanic Heritage Month is the period of time in the United States, when people recognize the contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans to the United States and celebrate these people’s varied heritage, background, and culture; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 15-October 15, 2014, as Hispanic Heritage Month in the state of Michigan. This month coincides with National Hispanic Heritage Month. We encourage all citizens to recognize and applaud the many contributions made by these individuals to enhance the quality of life in this state; and be it further
Resolved, That we encourage all sectors in our state to honor and commemorate the above-listed historical events of liberation in Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, as part of the celebrating and recognizing of the history, cultures, and contributions of Hispanics in the U.S. and its territories; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to appropriate officials of high standing in the state and to representatives of the Hispanic community as enduring testimony of the high esteem in which the ancestors and descendants of Hispanics are held by the Michigan Legislature.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.

Messages from the Senate
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 21.
A concurrent resolution to urge the Congress of the United States to enact legislation that will extend the MotorCities National Heritage Area Partnership in Michigan.
Whereas, Michigan’s MotorCities National Heritage Area is one of only 49 federally-designated heritage areas in the country. This special heritage area was created by Congress in 1998 to preserve, interpret, and promote the cultural and historic landscape associated with the automobile in Southeast and Central Michigan. The heritage area encompasses a region of more than 10,000 miles, covering a population of more than 6 million people. The MotorCities National Heritage Area is the largest concentration of auto-related sites in the world; and
Whereas, The MotorCities National Heritage Area Partnership is affiliated with the National Park Service and has partnered with many organizations to create projects that tell the rich story of the people, places, and innovations that helped define Michigan’s industrial importance. Projects and initiatives have been created within the heritage area to showcase our nation’s industrial strength and its importance in defending our freedom and democracy in two world wars. The preservation and restoration of landmarks such as the Ford Model T Complex and R.E. Olds structures and exhibits in Flint and Lansing are examples of efforts made possible by the MotorCities National Heritage Area Partnership; and
Whereas, Federal grants and assistance for the MotorCities National Heritage Area Partnership will expire on September 30, 2014. S. 2221 and H.R. 4421 would extend the sunset date to September 30, 2030. Extending the sunset will provide continued support for Michigan’s tourism industry and projects that will bring millions of visitors to Michigan each year; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we urge the Congress of the United States to enact legislation that will extend the MotorCities National Heritage Area Partnership in Michigan; 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, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, the managing director of the MotorCities National Heritage Area, and the Governor of the state of Michigan.
The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.
Rep. Barnett was named co‑sponsor of the concurrent resolution.
The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Tourism.
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 22.
A concurrent resolution to oppose the current proposal to designate the northern long-eared bat as a threatened or endangered species.
Whereas, The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) has proposed adding the northern long-eared bat to the federal list of endangered and threatened wildlife. Northern long-eared bat populations have been severely impacted by the spread of white-nose syndrome in many areas of the country. The FWS currently intends to make a final listing decision by April 2015, including management measures to protect northern long-eared bats; and
Whereas, Current voluntary interim measures to protect northern long-eared bats, if adopted into law as mandatory measures, would be overly restrictive and would cripple the forest products industry in Michigan and nearby states. The restrictions would apply to public and private land and could shut down timber harvesting throughout the summer, devastating communities that rely on the industry for their livelihood; and
Whereas, The FWS has not engaged state natural resource agencies or the forest products industry in developing management measures to protect northern long-eared bats. State agencies, the forest industry, and others have invaluable expertise and experience that should be employed to develop reasonable and appropriate conservation measures that will protect northern long-eared bats while allowing for the proper management of other critical species and the sustainable harvest of timber; and
Whereas, Any required management measures must be based on sound scientific data. There is still great scientific uncertainty regarding the northern long-eared bat population and how white-nose syndrome kills bats. This information is critical in determining appropriate measures to protect northern long-eared bats. Any measures that would shut down timber harvesting must only be considered if there is conclusive science that these measures are critical to sustaining northern long-eared bat populations; and
Whereas, The Michigan Department of Natural Resources, in partnership with natural resource departments in Indiana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, has requested that the FWS delay its listing decision until such time when local studies are completed and data are recorded. This delay would allow more time to partner with these agencies and the forest products industry to evaluate the threat to northern long-eared bats and develop the best solutions to the problem; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we oppose the current proposal to designate the northern long-eared bat as a threatened or endangered species; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.
Rep. Hooker was named co‑sponsor of the concurrent resolution.
The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources.
