Ms. Zaynab Salman, of Muslim Community of Western Suburbs in Canton, offered the following invocation:

“I begin with the first chapter of the Quran, ‘The Opening’.

In the name of God, the infinitely Compassionate and Merciful.

Praise be to God, Lord of all the worlds.

The Compassionate, the Merciful. Ruler on the Day of Reckoning.

You alone do we worship, and You alone do we ask for help.

Guide us on the straight path,

the path of those who have received Your grace;

not the path of those who have brought down wrath, nor of those who wander astray.

Amen.

O Creator of Adam, Rescuer of Noah, One God of Abraham. O Most Holy, Who spoke to Moses from the burning bush. O most Compassionate, Who blew into Mary mother of Jesus from Your blessed spirit. O most infinitely Wise Who chose Muhammad as Your last messenger to be a beacon of mercy to all of the nations and worlds. May Your peace and blessings be upon them and upon all Your prophets and messengers, those whom we know of and those who are anonymous.

We seek Your divine guidance in deciding matters for the great state of Michigan and for the people of this State- decisions that will leave to the vindication of love over hatred, promotion of well-being over malady, expanding prosperity over poverty and cultivation of strength over weakness. We ask that You envelop this State with tranquility and calmness coupled with sincerity of purpose. We ask that You free our hearts from prejudice, greed, malice and arrogance. Guide our decision makers with Your Divine Light. Enable them to serve You by serving the citizens of this great State, regardless of their gender, ethnicity or religion. Bless them and fill their hearts with passion and determination to improve the quality of the life for those they are responsible for. Make them peace-builders, healers, and bridge builders needed in our times. Give them strength, courage, and wisdom.

We ask You to protect our families and communities from deterioration, generation after generation. May You inspire us and our children to be women and men of truth, and guardians of the most sacred purpose. May You inspire us and our children to the uphold noble values in enjoining the good and, through wisdom and mercy, speaking against what is wrong—standing for truth, justice and honor. We ask You, Who has set the balance, to lead us to a middle way: that does not lead us to tyrannize the wealthy or to abandon the poor. That does not stifle growth or harm creatures who glorify You by day and by night. And finally, as we began the invocation with the chapter called ‘The Opening’, we ask You to open avenues of goodness, progress and positive impact through our humble efforts in aspiring towards ‘One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.’ All praise is to God Almighty.”

The Speaker assumed the Chair.

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Irwin, Yanez, Driskell, Wittenberg, Derek Miller, Geiss, Sarah Roberts, Hovey-Wright, Dianda, Garrett, Chang, Dillon, Rutledge, Durhal, Guerra, Moss, Santana, Kivela, Love, LaVoy, Townsend, Gay-Dagnogo, Byrd, Cochran, Liberati, Greig, Hoadley, Plawecki, Brunner, Banks, Chirkun, Brinks, Schor, Darany, Talabi, Smiley, Faris, Neeley, Phelps, Greimel, Kosowski and Zemke offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 81.

A resolution to urge the Governor to leverage Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program funds to preserve vital Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for the citizens of Michigan.

Whereas, The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides resources for individuals and families who would otherwise be unable to afford enough food, while increasing revenue for retailers and farmers; and

Whereas, In 2014, the U.S. Congress cut SNAP benefits to the state of Michigan by $183 million. As a result, 20 percent of the state’s recipients, or around 170,000 households, will see cuts to their food budgets; and

Whereas, The majority of governors whose states were affected by these changes to “Heat and Eat” programs have taken steps to apportion more heating assistance funds to ensure that their residents do not suffer reductions in SNAP benefits; and

Whereas, Increasing LIHEAP assistance to Michigan residents would result in a net increase of federal funds flowing to Michigan. Additional SNAP funding for the state would far exceed the costs of increasing LIHEAP assistance to meet the new $20 threshold; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Governor to leverage Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program funds to preserve vital Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for the citizens of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor of Michigan and the Michigan Congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Appropriations.

Reps. Driskell, Yanez, Irwin, Wittenberg, Derek Miller, Geiss, Sarah Roberts, Hovey-Wright, Dianda, Garrett, Chang, Dillon, Rutledge, Durhal, Guerra, Moss, Santana, Kivela, Love, LaVoy, Townsend, Gay-Dagnogo, Byrd, Cochran, Liberati, Greig, Hoadley, Plawecki, Brunner, Banks, Chirkun, Brinks, Schor, Darany, Talabi, Smiley, Faris, Neeley, Phelps, Greimel, Kosowski and Zemke offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 82.

A resolution to urge the Congress of the United States to enact legislation that will reverse cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) over the next decade and that will remove the higher threshold of Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program funding to qualify for additional SNAP benefits.

Whereas, In 2014, the U.S. Congress cut SNAP funding by $8.7 billion over 10 years. Of those funds, $183 million would have gone to Michigan SNAP recipients and from them to Michigan food retailers and farmers. As a result, 20 percent of the state’s recipients, around 170,000 households, will see cuts to their food budgets; and

Whereas, The U.S. Congress changed the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) to require more than $20 in home heating benefits per household to trigger increased SNAP benefits, up from the previous $1 threshold. This change makes it harder for states like Michigan to use LIHEAP effectively to provide for the basic needs of citizens through “Heat and Eat” programs. The resulting reductions in SNAP benefits negatively affect the most vulnerable sectors of SNAP benefits recipients, 43 percent of which are children and 26 percent of which are elderly in Michigan; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Congress of the United States to enact legislation that will reverse the $8.7 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program over the next decade and that will remove the higher threshold of Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program funding to qualify recipients for additional SNAP benefits; 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 Families, Children, and Seniors.

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 9.

A concurrent resolution to urge the U.S. Department of Defense, Missile Defense Agency to select the Fort Custer Training Center as the location for a new ground-based interceptor ballistic missile defense mission.

Whereas, The Fort Custer Training Center is one of four sites being considered for a new ground-based interceptor ballistic missile defense mission. Fort Custer is a 7,500-acre Michigan National Guard installation that supports all branches of the Armed Services, as well as law enforcement agencies and federal partners; and

Whereas, The Fort Custer Training Center is nationally recognized by the Department of Defense for its superior environmental stewardship, having won numerous environmental and energy awards from the Department of the Army. The selection of the ground-based interceptor ballistic missile defense mission will rely heavily on the installation’s ability to support the mission and protect the environment. Therefore, Fort Custer’s respect for the environment makes it a logical choice for the site selection; and

Whereas, The final site selection must be based upon the installation’s ability to support the mission of the ground-based interceptor ballistic missile defense mission, but the cost to U.S. taxpayers to complete that mission should be important in the site selection process for the U.S. Department of Defense, Missile Defense Agency. Based upon information and belief, Fort Custer can support the mission and will provide the best value for U.S. taxpayers; and

Whereas, The ground-based interceptor ballistic missile defense system is the key defense tool protecting our state and nation from ballistic missile attacks. The placement of the ballistic missile defense system in Battle Creek will take full advantage of Fort Custer’s strategic location and security. Michigan is prepared to support the construction and operation of the new missile defense system, as well as the personnel who will maintain it; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we urge the U.S. Department of Defense, Missile Defense Agency to select the Fort Custer Training Center as the location for a new ground-based interceptor ballistic missile defense mission; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the United States Missile Defense Agency, the United States Secretary of Defense, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.

Reps. Greig, Heise, Kelly and LaVoy were named co‑sponsors of the concurrent resolution.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Military and Veterans Affairs.
