Rev. Tim Vander Haar, Pastor of First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ in Muskegon, offered the following invocation:
“O God, in Whom we live and move and have our being, the source from Whom we come and to Whom we return, we call upon Your presence to bless and guide us. But from whence does that presence come?
Truly You are to be found in the farthest reaches of the universe, but Your light is reflected not just in the stars of heaven, or in the face of our neighbor. Your image is present within each of us, as well.
So help us all, and especially those here gathered today, to call in every situation upon that divine spark of creativity and love within, so that words may be spoken, and decisions made, that honor the dignity of each person, that bring us closer to solutions for the problems we face in the communities we represent, and that serve truth and the common good. This we ask, by whatever name we know You. Amen.”

The Speaker assumed the Chair.
Motions and Resolutions
The Speaker laid before the House
House Resolution No. 212.
A resolution to declare January 31-February 6, 2016, as Chicano History Week in the state of Michigan.
(The resolution was introduced, and postponed for the day on February 3, see House Journal No. 10, p. 122.)
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Rep. Schor moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:
Substitute for House Resolution No 212.
A resolution to declare January 31-February 6, 2016, as Chicano History Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, February 2, 1848, is commonly regarded as the birth date of Chicanos; and
Whereas, We extend accolades of tribute, high praise, appreciation, and appropriate recognition to these North Americans and their descendants whose citizenship, under the terms of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, changed overnight from Mexico to the United States of America. They have contributed to the economy, development, and growth of the state of Michigan and the nation, serving the arts, business, media, industry, agriculture, education, and society in a myriad of ways; and
Whereas, Despite being granted the rights of citizenship, the early Mexican-Americans found their rights denied in the form of their language, their culture, their political representation, their opportunities for employment and upward mobility in society. They were subjected to losing their land, homes, and property. As with many national boundary changes resulting from war treaties, historical documentation was destroyed and constitutional rights were abrogated, leaving them stripped of their identity, unique culture, and recorded contributions to society. This resulted in a disparaging image of those of Mexican descent.
Whereas, In a complex and diversified cultural society, we must strive to understand, accept, and appreciate all traditions and life-styles in order to eliminate prejudice. It is truly appropriate to declare January 31-February 6, 2016, as Chicano History Week in Michigan and to accord recognition to the cultural and intellectual development of a people with a proud past, inclusive of not only American accomplishments but also those of Spanish origin which predated the first English settlement in the United States by over half a century; and
Whereas, Historian Rodolfo Alvarez has divided the development of this segment of our population into four categories: the creation generation which was pre-1900; the migrant generation which was allied with Mexico by culture, language, and loyalty; the Mexican-American generation which regarded themselves as American citizens of Mexican descent; and the Chicano generation of today, which is a combination of, but distinctly separate from the previous three. Chicanos recognize that they are the result of a unique confluence of histories, cultures, languages, and traditions; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 31-February 6, 2016, as Chicano History Week in the state of Michigan. We commemorate the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo on February 2, 1848, and recognize the contributions of Chicanos across the nation and in the state of Michigan; 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 coalition of Chicano and Latino organizations in support of this resolution as enduring testimony of the high esteem in which the ancestors and descendants of Chicanos and Chicanas are held by the Michigan Legislature.
The motion prevailed and the substitute (H-1) was adopted, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Hughes, Price, Geiss, Crawford, Jenkins, Garcia, Cox, Lane, Faris, Sarah Roberts, Driskell, Love, Hovey-Wright, Robinson, Pagan, Gay-Dagnogo, Theis, Chang, Garrett, Talabi, Plawecki, Greig, Brinks, LaFontaine, Lyons, Barrett, Somerville, Tedder, Pettalia, VerHeulen, Pscholka, Afendoulis, Kesto, Glenn, Farrington, Poleski, Lucido, Sheppard, Victory, Forlini, Rendon, Pagel, Hooker, Johnson, Outman, Aaron Miller, Graves, Brett Roberts, Muxlow, Rutledge, Jacobsen, Callton, Neeley, Vaupel, Cole, Bumstead, Webber, Canfield, Maturen, Leutheuser, Chatfield, Lauwers, Bizon, Howrylak, Heise, Kelly, LaVoy, Potvin, Schor and Singh offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 215.
A resolution to declare February 2016 as Heart Month and February 5, 2016, as Go Red for Women Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Heart disease is the number one killer of women, yet 80 percent of cardiac events can be prevented; and
Whereas, Cardiovascular diseases cause one in three women’s deaths each year, killing approximately one woman every minute; and
Whereas, An estimated 44 million women in the United States are affected by cardiovascular diseases; and
Whereas, Ninety percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease, yet only one in five American women believe that heart disease is her greatest health threat; and
Whereas, Since 1984, more women than men have died from heart disease; and
Whereas, Women are less likely to call 911 for themselves when experiencing symptoms of a heart attack than they are if someone else were having a heart attack; and
Whereas, Women comprise only 24 percent of participants in all heart-related studies; and
Whereas, Only 43 percent of African American women and 44 percent of Hispanic women know that heart disease is their greatest health risk, compared with 60 percent of Caucasian women; and
Whereas, Women involved in the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women movement live heathier lives. Nearly 90 percent have made a least one healthy behavioral change; and
Whereas, Go Red for Women is asking all Americans to Go Red by wearing red and speaking red:
Get Your Numbers: Ask your doctor to check your blood pressure and cholesterol.
Own your Lifestyle: Stop smoking, lose weight, exercise, and eat healthy.
Raise Your Voice: Advocate for more women related research and education
Educate Your Family: Make healthy food choices for you and your family. Teach your kids the importance of staying active.
Don’t Be Silent: Tell every woman you know that heart disease is their Number 1 killer.
Raise your voice at GoRedForWomen.Org ; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 2016 as Heart Month and February 5, 2016, as Go Red for Women Day in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge all citizens to show their support for women and the fight against heart disease by commemorating this day by the wearing of the color red. By increasing awareness, speaking up about heart disease, and empowering women to reduce their risk for cardiovascular disease, we can save thousands of lives each year.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Sarah Roberts, Lyons, Crawford, Hovey-Wright, Pagan, Gay-Dagnogo, Wittenberg, Faris, Darany, Brinks, Liberati, Chirkun, Canfield, Driskell, Greig, Plawecki, Hoadley, Singh, Guerra, Durhal, Chang, Garrett, Brunner and Smiley offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 216.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to amend the Internal Revenue Code to allow feminine hygiene products to be an eligible purchase under health savings accounts.
Whereas, Health savings accounts (HSA) are an effective tool for people to set aside pre-tax dollars for medical expenses. Allowable health care expenses under these plans range from copays and deductibles to prescription drugs and a variety of medical supplies; and.
Whereas, Feminine hygiene products are not an eligible expense under the HSA. Women spend thousands of dollars annually on feminine hygiene products. These products are integral to the overall health of women; and
Whereas, Feminine hygiene products are an essential health expense. Including feminine hygiene products under this existing mechanism would enable women to maximize savings on these necessary and recurring expense; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize Congress to amend the Internal Revenue Code to allow feminine hygiene products to be an eligible purchase under the health savings accounts; 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, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Tax Policy.
Reps. Sarah Roberts, Lyons, Crawford, Hovey-Wright, Pagan, Gay-Dagnogo, Clemente, Wittenberg, Faris, Darany, Brinks, Liberati, Chirkun, Canfield, Driskell, Greig, Plawecki, Hoadley, Singh, Guerra, Durhal, Chang, Garrett, Brunner and Smiley offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 217.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to amend the Internal Revenue Code to allow feminine-hygiene products to qualify as an eligible expense under flexible spending accounts.
Whereas, Chapter 26, section 125 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code permits employers to offer and maintain flexible spending accounts for their employees. Flexible spending accounts, or FSAs, allow employees to set aside part of his or her paycheck to pay for certain qualified expenses. The money set aside in FSA programs is not considered income by the IRS, and therefore, the money deposited into these programs is removed from the participant’s taxable income; and
Whereas, Flexible spending accounts provide significant benefit to participants. FSAs allow employees to reduce the after-tax cost of medical services and qualified products bought by participants and their dependents. The program allows participants to be reimbursed for these services and products, effectively making them a tax-free expenditure. Under the program, a broad range of services and products are eligible for reimbursement, including doctor office deductibles, prescriptions, eye glasses and contacts, cosmetic dentistry, and others. Products eligible for reimbursement include items such as bandages, adhesive pads and medical gauze. Products eligible for FSA reimbursement do not include feminine-hygiene products; and
Whereas, Feminine-hygiene products are essential to the health care needs of women. Despite the medical necessity, expense, and frequency of need, these products are not eligible for FSA reimbursement, and yet, similar hygiene products are covered under the program. It’s time to make feminine-hygiene products FSA eligible; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to amend the Internal Revenue Code to allow feminine-hygiene products to qualify as an eligible expense under flexible spending accounts; 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, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Tax Policy.
