Please, God, help us as we go forward in the coming days, months, and years; that we will do so in a spirit of fellowship. Help us to do so with the relentless pursuit of the truth. Please help us to affix ourselves to the truth in everything that comes across our path. Please help us not to be swayed by anything that is false, God. Please put in our spirits that we may understand what is right, and help us to act in accordance with what is right. God, as we go forward in our daily walk, please help us to go forward, and when we find that truth, that we go off and express it in a way that demonstrates respect and kindness and love for our fellowman.

In The Chair: President

The Senate agreed to the title of the bill.

Senator Hunter asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Hunter’s statement is as follows:

I rise today to support this legislation that is before us to require a health facility or agency to provide information in writing upon request related to their policies on life-sustaining treatment and denial of treatment deemed nonbeneficial. I was proud to co‑sponsor this legislation, and I urge you all to vote in support of it today.

The need for this bill was brought to my attention by an unfortunate incident involving a Michigan resident and his infant daughter. This baby girl was born with a genetic birth defect called trisomy 18 that occurs in roughly 1 out of 2,500 births. She was also diagnosed with a hole in her heart. An initial consultation with her cardiologist determined the heart problem could be fixed. We are talking about a baby girl who was diagnosed with serious health problems, including a hole in her heart, and so I think this little girl has deserved the attention of this body today.

An initial consultation with a cardiologist determined the heart problem could be fixed, but after learning that the girl also had this disease that we just mentioned, the doctor advised the child’s family that nothing should be done based on the diagnosis. It is harsh for any parent to hear that their child’s care is considered medically futile, useless, or unnecessary, and it is even worse when facilities are not forthright with these policies. The same goes for any other patient who is told so directly that their care has been deemed nonbeneficial.

A patient and their loved ones, especially a parent of a young child fighting for their life, deserves to pursue any and every care at their disposal. If one doctor or hospital decides that is useless to pursue, they will surely seek care from someone or somewhere else that isn’t willing to give up so easily. This legislation will save these families and patients time, money, and heartache by being told upfront about a facility’s medical futility policy.

I urge you all to think about how difficult these situations are, and support this bill to make it easier on parents and patients seeking ambitious and aggressive care.

The following bill was read a third time:

Senate Bill No. 92, entitled

A bill to amend 1978 PA 368, entitled “Public health code,” by amending sections 16333, 17703, 17705, 17707, 17711, 17721, and 17731 (MCL 333.16333, 333.17703, 333.17705, 333.17707, 333.17711, 333.17721, and 333.17731), section 16333 as added by 1993 PA 80, section 17703 as amended by 2012 PA 209, section 17705 as amended by 1986 PA 304, section 17707 as amended by 1990 PA 333, sections 17711 and 17721 as amended by 2006 PA 390, and section 17731 as amended by 1994 PA 234, and by adding sections 17739, 17739a, 17739b, and 17739c.

Resolutions

Senator Booher offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 28.

A resolution designating April 2013 as Michigan Financial Literacy Month.

Whereas, According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), at least 25.6 percent of households in the United States, or close to 30 million households with approximately 60 million adults, are unbanked or underbanked and, subsequently, have missed opportunities for savings, lending, and basic financial services. Almost 31 percent of households in Michigan are unbanked or underbanked; and

Whereas, Expanding access to the mainstream financial system will provide individuals with less expensive and more secure options for managing finances and building wealth; and

Whereas, According to the Consumer Financial Literacy Survey Final Report of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, 41 percent of adults living in the United States gave themselves a grade of C, D, or F on their knowledge of personal finance; and

Whereas, The informed use of credit and other financial products and services benefits individual consumers and promotes economic growth; and

Whereas, The seventh Council for Economic Education biennial Survey of the States 2011 reports that only 12 states require students to take a personal finance course either independently or as part of an economics course as a high school graduation requirement; and

Whereas, According to the Gallup-Operation HOPE Financial Literacy Index, while 69 percent of American students strongly believe that the best time to save money is now, only 57 percent believe that their parents are saving money for the future; and

Whereas, Quality personal financial education is essential to ensure that individuals are prepared to manage money, credit, and debt, and become responsible workers, heads of households, investors, entrepreneurs, business leaders, and citizens; and

Whereas, Michigan banks understand that an educated consumer is the best consumer and that financially savvy customers will use and get the most from banking services and products throughout their lives; and

Whereas, A good money manager is more likely to purchase a home, save for college, and invest in a retirement account; and

Whereas, The FDIC indicates that 53 percent of banks report teaching financial literacy, and 58 percent conduct financial literacy outreach; and

Whereas, Support for Youth Financial Literacy Month highlights the commitment of all Michigan financial institutions to strengthen the financial knowledge of our youth and to prepare them for a fiscally-responsible future; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That April 2013 be hereby designated as Michigan Financial Literacy Month. We encourage raising public awareness about the need for increased financial literacy in our schools and among our children and the serious problems that are associated with a lack of understanding of personal finances; and be it further

Resolved, That we call on each parent, school, business, financial institution, community organization, and unit of government to observe the month with appropriate programs and activities.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,

Senator Meekhof moved that the rule be suspended.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The resolution was adopted.

Senators Anderson, Bieda, Brandenburg, Caswell, Colbeck, Green, Hansen, Hildenbrand, Hopgood, Hune, Jansen, Johnson, Jones, Kahn, Kowall, Marleau, Meekhof, Moolenaar, Nofs, Pavlov, Proos, Robertson, Schuitmaker, Walker, Warren, Emmons, Hunter and Richardville were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.

Statements

Senators Johnson, Young and Bieda asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Johnson’s statement is as follows:

I rise today after nearly two weeks of disappointing and unnerving headlines and stories throughout the state’s media. I rise to offer some advice to my friends on the other side of the aisle, as they, in my estimation, certainly need it.

Marriage equality has become a hot topic across the nation as of late. Two cases have come before the Supreme Court. One deals with California’s ban on marriage equality. The other, I believe, puts a face on the inequality. It began when 83-year-old Edie Windsor’s life partner of 40 years passed away. Mrs. Windsor shortly found she was assessed $362,000 in estate taxes because she lacked the protections the rest of us receive within the legal framework of marriage. Though I see no moral nor civic rationalization for the government-sanctioned inequality, far be it for me to want to stifle a debate based on facts and sound public policy.

Unfortunately, Republican National Committee member Dave Agema dove right in with an unhinged Facebook post detailing the so-called homosexual agenda and deriding our brothers and sisters in the LGBTQI community as participating in a filthy lifestyle. This make-believe academic study contained such absurd assertions as homosexuals account for half the murders in large cities. In fact, one of the sources cited multiple times in Mr. Agema’s post is an Edward R. Fields, whose other works include denying the Holocaust. He has been involved with anti-Semitic and white supremacist groups, including connections to the Ku Klux Klan.

This is just par for the course for Dave Agema. While serving in the Legislature, he sponsored a bill to get rid of HIV funding and transfer that money to the Michigan Aeronautics Fund. He is, of course, a former pilot. He introduced a license-to-racially-profile bill, similar to Arizona Senate Bill No. 1070. He claimed President Obama is a secret Muslim and that just about every terrorist is Muslim; likened President Obama to Adolf Hitler; repeated the false statements that the President only won re-election by giving things to get votes. He must have not realized what a terrible candidate he had for President, and he wrongly suggested that the President was solely to blame for the sequester agreement. This is also the same man who missed crucial votes in 2007 in the budget crisis because he was too busy hunting animals in Siberia.

Much has been reported and commented on regarding the Republican Party’s desperate efforts to rebrand themselves after losing major elections because the public views them as anti-people, anti-Christian, anti-poor, anti-middle-class, anti-minority, anti-gay, and anti-women. I don’t necessarily believe this is true about all of my friends on the other side of the aisle, but the deafening silence thus far equals assent.

It is not enough to say it is bad politics. It’s not enough to say his comments were unwise. It’s not enough when asked directly about Agema’s comments, as the Governor was yesterday, to duck the question and restate your support for already-passed anti-bullying legislation. It is not in my interest to help the Republican Party—politically, that is—but I want to help personally. This kind of rhetoric, intolerance, hatred, and, yes, racism is anti-Christian, anti-American, mean-spirited, and just plain bad for your karma.

A few decades ago, had they attended the same school, Dave Agema would be the kid picking on Rick Snyder in the hallway, the lunchroom, or the locker room. As these situations usually play out, the nerd becomes the boss, and the bully becomes the underling.

In the “Letter from Birmingham Jail” in 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr., wrote: “We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.” For the past two weeks, Governor Snyder has had the opportunity to take a stand on behalf of the citizens of Michigan he represents who have come under attack from a member of the Republican Party. It is my hope, my fervent hope, that he comes down on the side of justice and equality and fully rebukes the statements of the bigot that has become Dave Agema.

Senator Young’s statement is as follows:

I would like to start with a quote that I came up with myself. In times of crisis, the flame of freedom must not be extinguished. An emergency does not grant the power to eliminate our emancipation. Mr. President, I am absolutely appalled, I am apoplectic at the fact that they filed a lawsuit. The working men and women of this state and my city and district, the greatest city on earth, the city of Detroit, filed a lawsuit against this unconstitutional, tyrannical, autocratic law. You know where I am going with this—the EM law. The court threw it out; they didn’t even listen to them. They weren’t given the time of day. They talked about all this transparency is the best way to do this, that sunshine is the best way, and positive relentless action and all this other nonsense. He was pumping his gums together when he usually speaks on this issue. Here was the time for us to actually listen to the other side. Now maybe they would have won; maybe they wouldn’t have won, but the fact that we couldn’t even have our day in court, that they would deny us the opportunity to voice our opinions on this issue, is outrageous. It’s appalling, and it further lets the people of my community know that this is not about what is in the best interest for us.

This is not about coming together or positive relentless action or let’s have a partnership or a pow-wow and get together in the camp and sing Kumbaya—it’s none of that stuff. This is I’m coming, and you’re either going to get down, or you’re going lie down; you’re either going to get with the program, or you’re going to be programmed to get with the program. It is outrageous; it’s wrong.

Look, Mr. President, you seem like a reasonable guy to me. You seem like a guy who wants to build consensus. What’s going on with the Governor, Mr. President? You need to talk to him. Look, we don’t have to agree on every single issue, but at least listen to what the other side has to say. That is called respect; it is called good governance. The best legislation is forged from the hottest fires. The best iron and diamonds are nothing but a lump of coal under intense heat and pressure. We have enough heat and pressure in the city of Detroit right now, Mr. President. Let’s come together and form flawless laws or at least have a discussion about it. But you’re not even going to listen to it. You don’t even want us to have anything to say. You want us to silence our voices; put us in the corner.

Kevyn Orr, I’ve never met this man in my life. I feel like I have a better chance of finding out secrets about a Black Ops mission than I would to find out what this man plans to do in my own city. It is wrong. You do realize I was elected, right? The people of the city of Detroit actually cast a ballot for me. One of those things they cast a ballot for me to do was to let them know what is going on in Lansing. Now how am I supposed to look, going to my constituents, going to my people every day, going in there and they ask me, “What is the EM going to do?” I don’t know. “What did he say about this?” I don’t know. “What’s going on here?” I don’t know. “What’s his plan for the water department?” I don’t know. “What’s his plan for Belle Isle?” I don’t know. Every day, all day, can you imagine doing that? They are looking at me, “What are you up there for, then? If you don’t know anything, then I can’t figure out why you’re there.”

Mr. President, I’m trying to appeal to your better senses. Look, I know we are partisan. I know I’m a Democrat; I know you’re a Republican. We can go to war and have battles and whatever else, that is fine. Just one man to another, the stuff between men, you cannot at least update me on what is going on in my community? My community cannot even have their voices heard? We cannot even have decent conversations as human beings, as mammals, who breathe air and drink water, about what is going on in the community? It is wrong. Mr. President, it is wrong; you know it’s wrong. I know you can’t say that publicly because we all care and everything, but you know it’s wrong. I know you go to your little private meetings and your little quiet areas talking about how this is wrong. Stand up for justice; stand up for righteousness. Let’s have a conversation, and let’s get rid of this EM law.

Senator Bieda’s statement is as follows:

I just want to speak about something that probably unifies all of us. Many of us were watching the NCAA Championship Series. I think the term that said “Go Blue, regardless of what your school colors were” really was something that resonated this last week. I want to commend them on a terrific season. There’s something about amateur sports that brings out the best in us and is also a unifying force in the state.

I want to commend the U-M Basketball Team on really a terrific season and a terrific game last night. I just wanted to give a couple of quick comments on that as well as my esteem for them, as well as this whole body.
