Rep. Henry Vaupel, from the 47th District, offered the following invocation:

“Dear Heavenly Father, as we convene this legislative session we pray that You will be with us and that You will guide us as we attempt to do the legislative work of the people. Our founding leaders based our Constitution and our form of government on Your word.

We pray that Your word will always be the foundation on which our deliberations and decisions are based. We ask that Your Spirit will help us examine each and every decision that we make so that we are able to pray to You with a clear conscience and a clean heart.

You have created a world in which all people are created equal in Your eyes and You have given us the gift of free will. Where we have differences of opinion please guide us to respect all views and give us the discernment to make the right choices for the right reasons.

In this session and in sessions to come we will face difficult issues to which there may be no perfect solutions. The bountiful courage that You bestow on us will be needed as we face these issues. We know that You will always be with us and strengthen us.

Finally Father we pray that where there is turmoil that You grant peace. Where there is brokenness grant healing. Grant us Lord the strength to be worthy of the public trust placed in us.

We pray for this and all else You know that we need trusting in Your abounding grace and steadfast love. Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Singh, Zemke, Hovey-Wright, Driskell, LaVoy and Sarah Roberts offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 119.

A resolution to urge the Congress of the United States to renew the charter for the U.S. Export-Import Bank and to amend the charter to ensure the bank cannot provide an export subsidy to a foreign company which would lead to a significant loss of U.S. jobs.

Whereas, The Export-Import Bank of the United States is the official export credit agency for our nation. Known also as the Ex-Im Bank, this independent federal agency has for the past eight decades used its authority and resources to support U.S. exports and domestic employment, providing low-cost direct loans, loan guarantees, working capital guarantees, and other special financing programs. The bank emphasizes supporting U.S. small- and medium-sized businesses and targets industries—such as medical technology, construction, agriculture, and power generation—that have the potential for high U.S. export growth. Moreover, the Ex-Im Bank is self-sustaining, using its own program revenue to cover operating expenses; and

Whereas, The U.S. Ex-Im Bank has provided substantial benefits to American businesses and grown the consumer base of American-made exports. Since 2009, the bank estimates that it has supported 1.3 million private-sector jobs—164,000 of those jobs in fiscal year 2014. As a boon for taxpayers, the bank has generated a surplus of around $7 billion over the preceding two decades, returning that money to the U.S. Treasury to help reduce the federal deficit. From 2009 to 2014, the U.S. Export-Import Bank supported over $10 billion in exports from 192 exporters and 143 small businesses in communities in Michigan. The Ex-Im Bank has boosted U.S. trade through its efforts, finding new consumers for our goods and services and contributing to overall economic growth; and

Whereas, While the U.S. Export-Import Bank is generally beneficial, in some cases, its policies have hurt American businesses, potentially negating U.S. job gains. Ex-Im Bank financing can end up helping foreign companies at the expense of competing U.S. companies when subsidized U.S. exports are incorporated into foreign products that then compete with unsubsidized U.S. products. This practice is counter to U.S. economic goals and should be more aggressively mitigated by the U.S. Ex-Im Bank; and

Whereas, The charter for the U.S. Export-Import Bank must be reauthorized periodically and expired after June 30, 2015 due to congressional inaction. Failing to reauthorize the charter significantly handicaps efforts to the rebuild the economy and sets back the hard-fought economic progress of export states like Michigan. Export credit agencies and the Ex-Im Bank are needed to encourage American businesses abroad with government-backed private lending and to extend financing when private lending institutions cannot or will not. Moreover, a failure to reauthorize the Ex-Im Bank charter unnecessarily sacrifices U.S. footing in many emerging markets—those that are being developed by other mature economies, including China; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Congress of the United States to renew the charter for the U.S. Export-Import Bank and to amend the charter to ensure the bank cannot provide an export subsidy to a foreign company which would lead to a significant loss of U.S. jobs; 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 Commerce and Trade.

Reps. Santana, Irwin, Hoadley, Schor, Guerra, Geiss, Byrd, Gay-Dagnogo, Banks, Darany, Chang, Durhal, Talabi, Neeley, Chirkun, Yonker, Moss, Singh, Yanez, Love, Kosowski, Zemke, Driskell and LaVoy offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 120.

A resolution to condemn discrimination in any form and to call for an end to racist rhetoric and hate speech by United States presidential candidates.

Whereas, The United States of America was founded on the principles of liberty, justice, tolerance, and equality. Our Declaration of Independence stated clearly the self-evident truth that all persons are created equal with certain unalienable rights; and

Whereas, The United States is a nation of immigrants often referred to as a “melting pot” where ethnic diversity has enriched this country and helped to promote economic prosperity; and

Whereas, In Michigan 58 percent of agricultural revenue is accounted for by crops that use migrant labor. Moreover, 81 percent of farm workers are Spanish speakers and 75 percent are of Mexican descent; and

Whereas, Aspiring national leaders, in particular, have a responsibility to engage the public on immigration reform and other issues in a thoughtful and respectful way without disparaging communities or individuals. Negative, demonizing, and stereotypical rhetoric has no place in the national political discourse. Further, racist, hateful speech can incite severe and tragic consequences. Public figures across the country must accept and embrace the responsibility to engage in and advance civil, impactful discussions; and

Whereas, The Michigan Legislature has engaged in thoughtful, respectful discourse on immigration and other challenging issues, and respected the diverse individual views and beliefs of its membership and of the people it represents. This body believes all public leaders should be respectful and tolerant of the many diverse peoples and cultures that coexist in the United States; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we condemn discrimination in any form and call for an end to hate speech and racist rhetoric by all presidential candidates; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Republican National Committee, the Democratic National Committee, and each major candidate running for the United States presidency.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

Reps. Kelly, Heise, Howrylak, Lauwers and Schor offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 121.

A resolution to urge the Congress of the United States to oppose the Iranian nuclear agreement and affirm the rights and responsibilities of the states to sanction businesses under their jurisdiction for conducting business with state sponsors of terrorism.

Whereas, On July 14, 2015, a coalition of six nations, led by the President of the United States, reached an agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding their nuclear program. Formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the agreement seeks to limit Iran’s capacity to refine weapons-grade nuclear material and develop nuclear weapons in exchange for a drawdown of related international sanctions; and

Whereas, The Iranian agreement, currently before the Congress of the United States, is not in the strategic interest of the United States and our allies. The agreement largely leaves in place Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, and it allows Iran to continue research and development on advance centrifuges that can refine weapons-grade nuclear material and on the intercontinental ballistic missiles that can carry nuclear warheads. While limits on the amount of nuclear material and inspections are aimed to counteract new weapon development, Iran has a long history of deceiving the international community. Iran’s advancements in nuclear technology could encourage other Middle East nations to seek their own nuclear technology, especially given Iran’s hostile and aggressive statements toward area nations, including Israel; and

Whereas, Congress should reject the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. By doing so, Congress will prevent the Iranian government from obtaining an estimated $150 billion in frozen assets currently being held by foreign banks. This money could be redirected by Iran to organizations like the Shiite militias in Iraq, the Assad regime in Syria, the Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Palestinian terror groups, and other regional proxies for Iranian terror. Additionally, other sanction relief provided in the agreement just provides more funding for military buildup and state sponsorship of terrorism; and

Whereas, The Tenth Amendment to the United States’ Constitution ensures that states may enact and enforce sanctions against businesses within their jurisdiction that choose to conduct business with state sponsors of terrorism, like Iran. Michigan, like many other states, has enacted legislation that divests public money from companies that do business with state sponsors of terrorism and prohibits public contracts from being awarded to these businesses. States could also compel banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions to divest in businesses doing business with Iran. Regardless of Congress’ decision on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, they should affirm the rights and responsibilities of the states to sanction businesses for conducting business with state sponsors of terrorism; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Congress of the United States to oppose the Iranian nuclear agreement and affirm the rights and responsibilities of the states to sanction businesses under their jurisdiction for conducting business with state sponsors of terrorism; and be it further

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

Reps. Kelly, Driskell, Heise, Howrylak, Lauwers, and LaVoy offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 122.

A resolution to declare September 11-17, 2015, as Patriot Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, We recognize that understanding American history and America’s first principles are indispensable to the survival of our republic as a free people. In great reverence to the victims of the attacks on September 11, 2001, we acknowledge that American citizens must take time to honor the first principles, founders, documents, and symbols of their history; and

Whereas, The events that led to the signing of The Constitution of the United States of America by the delegates of the Constitutional Convention on September 17, 1787, have significance for every American. This historical occasion is honored in public schools across the nation on September 17 of each year as Constitution Day; and

Whereas, Revolution, the rule of law, social compact, equality, unalienable rights, and limited government are the first principles upon which America was founded and flourishes; and

Whereas, Exceptional, visionary, and indispensable Americans such as Thomas Paine, Patrick Henry, John Adams, John Marshall, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King, Jr., Cesar Chavez, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison founded and advanced the United States; and

Whereas, The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the congressional resolution forwarding the Constitution to the states, Marbury v Madison, Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions, the Gettysburg Address, the Emancipation Proclamation, Brown v Board of Education, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the “I Have A Dream” speech are key documents that embody America’s first principles and have advanced American liberty; and

Whereas, The Bennington Flag, the original Betsy Ross American flag, the current American Flag, the Suffragist Flag, the Fort Sumter Flag, the Gadsden Flag, and the flag of the state of Michigan are fundamental physical symbols of American history and freedom that should be studied and remembered by each American citizen; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 11-17, 2015, as Patriot Week in the state of Michigan. We recognize that each generation needs to renew the spirit of America based on America’s first principles, historical figures, founding documents, and symbols of America. The citizens, schools and other educational institutions, government agencies, municipalities, and nonprofit, religious, labor, community, and business organizations are urged to recognize and participate in Patriot Week by honoring and celebrating so that all may offer the reverence that is due to our free republic.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Rep. Nesbitt moved that consideration of the resolution be postponed for the day.

The motion prevailed.

Reps. Geiss, Driskell, Faris, Hoadley, Howrylak, Hughes, LaVoy, Moss, Sarah Roberts, Schor and Singh offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 123.

A resolution to declare August 2015 as Breast Feeding Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Extensive research, especially in recent years, documents diverse and compelling advantages to infants, mothers, families, and society from breastfeeding and the use of human milk for infant feeding. These include health, nutritional, immunological, developmental, psychological, social, economic, and environmental benefits; and

Whereas, Breastfeeding provides significant health benefits to the mother as well as the infant, provides maternal protection from breast cancer, osteoporosis and other cancers. Research indicates the incidence of breast cancer in the United States and other developed countries could be reduced by longer duration of breastfeeding; and

Whereas, Worldwide studies show that babies who are breastfed have higher rates of survival; and

Whereas, Breastfed babies have reduced numbers of viral and bacterial infections resulting in fewer cases of necrotizing entercolitis, diarrhea, otitis media, meningitis and respiratory infections; and

Whereas, Any genuine promotion of family values should encourage acceptance of this most basic act of nurture between a mother and her child; and

Whereas, The Michigan Legislature encourages breastfeeding and commends employers, both in the public and the private sector, who make accommodations for breastfeeding mothers whenever feasible; and

Whereas, The Michigan Legislature recognizes that breastfeeding is an important and basic act of nurture that should be supported in the interests of maternal and child health; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare August 2015 as Breast Feeding Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Rep. Nesbitt moved that consideration of the resolution be postponed for the day.

The motion prevailed.

Reps. Geiss, Driskell, Faris, Hoadley, Howrylak, LaVoy, Sarah Roberts, Schor and Singh offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 124.

A resolution to declare August 26, 2015, as Cora Belle Reynolds Anderson Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Cora Belle Reynolds Anderson was the first woman elected to the Michigan House of Representatives, serving one term from 1925 to 1926; and

Whereas, She is also believed to be the only Native American woman elected to the Michigan House of Representatives or Senate; and

Whereas, While in the House of Representatives, Anderson concentrated on public welfare issues and was particularly interested in public health issues, especially the fight against alcoholism and tuberculosis; and

Whereas, Prior to her term, she had organized the first public health service in Baraga County and was instrumental in securing the county’s first public health nurse; and

Whereas, Anderson was educated as a teacher at the Haskell Institute in Lawrence, Kansas, which is known today as the Haskell Indian Nations University; and

Whereas, A teacher in the Upper Peninsula for several years at a time when minorities, including Native Americans, were subjected to considerable economic and social discrimination, Anderson’s determination to attend college and return the benefits of her education to her community was notable; and

Whereas, Her role as educator, legislator, and public health reform leader aided the Native American community as well as the whole of society; and

Whereas, August 26, 2015, is the 95th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment of the Constitution of the United States; and

Whereas, With its ratification, the 19th Amendment made Anderson eligible to vote and therefore eligible to run for office just five years after its ratification; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare August 26, 2015, as Cora Belle Reynolds Anderson Day in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 125.

A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Brandon Dillon.

Whereas, It is with great admiration for his commitment to the people of the Seventy-fifth District, as well as the entire state, that we honor Representative Brandon Dillon as he ends nearly five years of service to this legislative body; and

Whereas, Brandon Dillon earned an associate’s degree from Grand Rapids Community College, a bachelor’s degree from Aquinas College and his master’s degree from Northeastern University. Prior to his election to the House of Representatives, he served as a Kent County commissioner and chief of staff to Senator Jim Barcia. His knowledge of state and local government proved indispensable in his leadership and service to the House Appropriations Committee over three sessions. He served on the Appropriations subcommittees on School Aid and Transportation, as Democratic vice-chair, as well as on the subcommittees on Education; Energy, Labor and Economic Growth; and Community Health; and

Whereas, Elected three times to the House of Representatives, Brandon Dillon has championed tax relief initiatives, school funding improvements, efforts to bring better-paying jobs to Kent County, and increased government transparency. His dedication and commitment to the people of Michigan have greatly enriched the efforts of the legislature over the past five years; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Brandon Dillon for his notable contributions to this legislative body; and be it further
