“Heavenly Father,

We humbly gather before You today to ask You to bless this House.

We come from our respective districts with different perspectives and experiences with the common goal of representing the people of Michigan to the best of our abilities.

We pray that You bless us with knowledge and the continued fortitude to serve our state with full hearts.

As our students are back in classrooms this fall, bless our educators with the wisdom and patience to teach our students, and bless our students with the love of learning.

We ask You to continue to bless our great state, and ask that You continue to protect those who serve our country.

Lastly, we ask that You continue to be with the families of those we have lost as we continue to grieve for them.

In Your name we pray. Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

By unanimous consent the House considered House Resolution No. 345 out of numerical order.

Reps. Lane, Cochran, Driskell, Faris, Hoadley, Hooker, Howrylak, Hughes, Kelly, LaVoy, Sarah Roberts, Whiteford and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 345.

A resolution to declare September 23, 2016, as Chiari Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Chiari malformation is a neurological disorder where the cerebellum of the brain descends out of the skull and places pressure on the brain and the spinal cord; and

Whereas, Individuals with Chiari malformation also struggle with many other related conditions. A few of them are hydrocephalus, tethered spinal cord, intercranial hypertension, syringomyelia, and spina bifida; and

Whereas, It was estimated that Chiari malformations occurred in 1 in 1,000 births. However, now with the use of MRI’s becoming more frequent, it is believed that Chiari malformation is much more prevalent; and

Whereas, There are four different types of Chiari malformations differing by the amount of the herniation protruding from the skull; and

Whereas, Chiari does not discriminate as it affects people of any age. The average age of diagnosis is in the mid-thirties. However, as pediatricians are slowly learning more about the condition, it is being found in children more frequently; and

Whereas, Chiari malformation is often considered an invisible illness. Chiarians are often not believed of their declaration of symptoms because none of them can be seen; and

Whereas, There is no cure for Chiari. For some Chiarians, there is a surgery called a posterior fossa decompression which can offer some relief of symptoms. However, this is not a cure and for many they see no relief; and

Whereas, Chiari Matters, a non-profit dedicated to the education and awareness of the Chiari malformation, was launched on September 15, 2014; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 23, 2016, as Chiari Awareness Day in the state of Michigan. We encourage all citizens to help educate and support family, friends and neighbors who have been affected by Chiari. By increasing awareness of the risk factors and taking direct actions to reduce them, we can enable those who suffer from the disorder to live more peacefully; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the Governor of Michigan and Director of the Department of Community Health.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Faris, Chang, Cochran, Driskell, Hoadley, LaVoy, Sarah Roberts, Wittenberg offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 346.

A resolution to declare September 27, 2016, as Youth Consent Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, One in five women, at least 6% of men and over 40% of members of the LGBT community enrolled in a Michigan college or university will be sexually assaulted during their time as a student; and

Whereas, An estimated 61% of sexual assaults are not reported; and

Whereas, Young female victims of nonconsensual sexual acts are more likely to experience depression, self-blame, and alcohol and/or drug abuse; and

Whereas, Despite the existence of nationwide sexual assault prevention programs and Congress’ passage of The Campus Sexual Violence Elimination (SaVE) Act, there is no Michigan-specific awareness day or campaign focusing on the issue and importance of consent; and

Whereas, Sexual assault education among undergraduates has been shown to increase bystander intervention to prevent sexual assault, improve outcomes for individuals at risk, and increase opposition to rape; and

Whereas, Approximately 80% of sexual assaults among college-age females are committed by someone known to the victim and, the closer relationship between the victim and offender, the less likely the rape will be reported; and

Whereas, Sexual assault victimizations of students are more likely than nonstudent victimizations to go unreported to police; and

Whereas, Sexual assaults on college campuses are most likely to occur during the first three months of the school year, and, in Michigan, nonconsensual sexual activity is equivalent to sexual assault; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 27, 2016, as Youth Consent Day in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Senate; the Governor of the State of Michigan; Alpena Community College Office of the President, Bay College Office of the President, Central Michigan University Dean of Students, Delta College Office of the President, Eastern Michigan University Women’s Resource Center, Ferris State University Office of Student Life, Glen Oaks Community College Office of the President, Gogebic Community College Office of the President, Grand Rapids Community College Office of the President, Grand Valley State University Women’s Center, Henry Ford College Office of the President, Jackson College Office of the President, Kalamazoo Valley Community College Office of the President, Kellogg Community College Office of the President, Kirtland Community College Office of the President, Lake Michigan College Office of the President, Lake Superior State University Office of Student Affairs, Lansing Community College Office of the President, Macomb Community College Office of the President, Michigan State University Counseling Center, Michigan Technological University Center for Diversity and Inclusion, Mid Michigan Community College Office of the President, Monroe County Community College Office of the President, Montcalm Community College Office of the President, Mott Community College Office of the President, Muskegon Community College Office of the President, North Central Michigan College Office of the President, Northern Michigan University Equal Opportunity Office, Northwestern Michigan College Office of the President, Oakland Community College Office of the Chancellor, Oakland University Dean of Students, Saginaw Valley State University Office of Diversity Programs, Schoolcraft College Office of the President, Southwestern Michigan College Office of the President, St. Clair County Community College Office of the President, University of Michigan Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center, Washtenaw Community College Office of the President, Wayne County Community College District Office of the President, Wayne State University Office of Equal Opportunity, West Shore Community College Office of the President, Western Michigan University Office of Health Promotion and Education.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Graves, Cochran, Faris, Hoadley, Hooker, Howrylak, Hughes, Kelly, LaVoy, Singh and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 347.

A resolution to declare October 9, 2016, as PANS and PANDAS Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS) and pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with streptococcal (PANDAS) create the sudden onset of obsessive-compulsive disorder in children, causing previously healthy and emotionally adjusted children to experience severe anxiety and emotional disturbances; and

Whereas, Children with PANS and PANDAS tend to manifest some of the following symptoms: tics or other abnormal movements, severe separation anxiety, generalized anxiety, irritability, aggression, personality changes, ADHD, marked deterioration in learning and school performance, and developmental regression, including deterioration in handwriting; and

Whereas, PANS is broader than PANDAS as it includes not only disorders associated with a preceding infection, such as Mycoplasma Pneumoniae, Mono, Lyme, viruses, and more, but also acute onset non-infectious triggers, such as environmental factors and metabolic dysfunction. Treatment plans for PANS similar to those for PANDAS should be attempted; and

Whereas, Children with PANS and PANDAS may experience moderate to dramatic improvement with antibiotics, intravenous immunoglobulin treatment, or plasmapheresis; and

Whereas, Researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health are currently engaged in extensive research and testing on how to effectively treat PANS and PANDAS; and

Whereas, PANS and PANDAS has been estimated to affect approximately one out of every 200 children in the United States and is likely to be as common as pediatric cancer and pediatric diabetes; and

Whereas, It is imperative to educate the public to increase awareness of PANS and PANDAS and to work towards further research of this serious health issue; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 9, 2016, as PANS and PANDAS Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Irwin, Zemke, Driskell, Santana, Robinson, Pagan, Hoadley, Dianda, Gay-Dagnogo, Chang, Cochran, Faris, Hovey-Wright, Howrylak, Hughes, Kelly, Lauwers, LaVoy, Moss, Sarah Roberts, Schor, Singh and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 348.

A resolution to declare September 26, 2016, as Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) is a fatal form of brain cancer affecting 200 to 400 school-aged children in the United States each year; and

Whereas, DIPG tumors grow into the parts of the brain stem that control the functions necessary for life and are thus inoperable; and

Whereas, Unlike with many other pediatric cancers, there has been little progress in improving treatments and cure rates for DIPG over the last few decades, such that the five-year survival rate for DIPG is less than 1 percent; and

Whereas, DIPG is one of the most resistant of all cancers to chemotherapy treatments and the causes of DIPG are unknown; and

Whereas, Chad Carr, the 5-year-old son of Tammi and Jason Carr of Ann Arbor, Michigan, died of DIPG on November 23, 2015. Chad, being the grandson of both former University of Michigan football coach Lloyd Carr and former University of Michigan All-American defensive back Tom Curtis, and son of Jason Carr, former University of Michigan quarterback, galvanized not only the football program but also the whole state of Michigan around his fight with DIPG. Chad Carr would have celebrated his 6th birthday on September 26, 2016; and

Whereas, Chad’s mother, Tammi, along with her husband, Jason, took it upon themselves in the midst of their family tragedy to create the ChadTough Foundation to spread awareness and news about DIPG, increase research efforts, and raise money to support research into DIPG and pediatric brain tumors. The 14-month struggle Chad and his family endured following his DIPG diagnosis has inspired the public to donate more than $1 million to pediatric cancer research through the ChadTough Foundation and the ChadTough Fund at University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital; and

Whereas, Chad inspired even famed football rivals University of Michigan, Michigan State University, and Ohio State University to work together to support DIPG awareness. As representatives and leaders of all Michiganders, it should be incumbent upon us to carry on the fight against DIPG for Chad’s family and all those affected by the disease; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 26, 2016, as Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma Awareness Day in the state of Michigan. We urge increased public awareness and increased funding for research into the prevention and cure of this deadly childhood disease.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Kesto, Chang, Cochran, Crawford, Hooker, Howrylak, Kelly, Lauwers, Poleski and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 349.

A resolution to congratulate the government and people of the Republic of China (Taiwan) on the celebration of their 105th National Day and declare October 10, 2016, as Taiwan Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Relations between the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the United States are marked by strong bilateral trade, education, and cultural exchanges. The United States is Taiwan’s third largest trading partner and Taiwan is the ninth largest trading partner of the United States. In 2015, the United States exported $25.9 billion in goods and $12.5 billion in services to Taiwan; and

Whereas, Taiwan and the state of Michigan have long benefited from this relationship. In 2015, Michigan’s exports to Taiwan reached $249.8 million, making Taiwan Michigan’s 6th largest export market in Asia and 22th largest export market in the world. Vibrant Michigan-Taiwan relations hold great promise for both our companies and workers; and

Whereas, Taiwan, located in the busiest section of airspace in East Asia, is an important part of the global air transport. Taiwan’s participation in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) will contribute meaningfully to the ICAO’s goal of a safe, efficient, secure, economically sustainable and environmentally responsible civil aviation sector; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body congratulate the government and people of the Republic of China (Taiwan) on the celebration of their 105th National Day and declare October 10, 2016, as Taiwan Day in the state of Michigan; and be it further,

Resolved, That we reaffirm the continuing support for Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO); and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the U.S. Secretary of State, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Chicago, Illinois, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Brett Roberts, Cochran, Faris, Hoadley, Hovey-Wright, Howrylak, Hughes, Kelly, Poleski, Sarah Roberts and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 350.

A resolution to declare November 7, 2016, as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), is a nerve disorder that causes chronic pain in one or more extremities along with organs, joints, and muscles; and

Whereas, The symptoms of RSD/CRPS are often described as burning that is out of proportion to the severity of the initial injury and can include extreme sensitivity to the touch, pathological changes in bone and skin, excessive sweating, and tissue swelling; and

Whereas, RSD/CRPS is ranked as the most painful form of chronic pain that exists today by the McGill Pain Index; and

Whereas, There is no identifiable cure for RDS/CRPS and treatments aimed at relieving pain are physical therapy, occupational therapy, nerve blocks, ketamine infusions, Calmare, opiates, pain pumps, and spinal cord stimulators; and

Whereas, Up to 200,000 individuals experience RSD/CRPS in the United States in any given year and the onset of RSD/CRPS can occur at any age or gender, although it is more common in females; and

Whereas, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Awareness Day provides an opportunity for those living with CRPS and others in the community to join together to further educate the public and health care professionals about RSD/CRPS and to work for further research regarding treatment and a cure for the disorder; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare November 7, 2016, as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Awareness Day in the state of Michigan. We encourage greater awareness of this condition and recognize the day-to-day hardships of those afflicted by RSD/CRPS.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

The Speaker called Associate Speaker Pro Tempore Franz to the Chair.

By unanimous consent the House considered House Resolution No. 352 out of numerical order.

Reps. Brinks, Price, Crawford, Durhal, Darany, Hovey-Wright, Hoadley, Yanez, Greig, Moss, Chirkun, Liberati, Pagan, Rutledge, Chang, VerHeulen, Lyons, Victory, Love, Greimel, Phelps, Whiteford, Graves, Glenn, Wittenberg, LaVoy, Smiley, Singh, Yonker, Gay-Dagnogo, Hughes, Faris, Lucido, Lane, Chatfield, Aaron Miller, McBroom, Leutheuser, Lauwers, Kivela, LaFontaine, Franz, Pscholka, Theis, Tedder, Poleski, Afendoulis, Hooker, Jacobsen, Brett Roberts, Cole, Bizon, Cochran, Cox, Driskell, Garcia, Geiss, Glardon, Howrylak, Kelly and Schor offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 352.

A resolution to declare October 2016 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, October has long been recognized across America as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in an effort to raise public awareness about the importance of early detection; and

Whereas, In 2016, it is estimated that among U.S. women, there will be 246,660 new cases of invasive breast cancer and 61,000 new cases of in situ breast cancer along with over 40,000 breast cancer deaths; and

Whereas, In 2016, there are more than 2.8 million women with a history of breast cancer in the U.S. This includes women currently being treated and women who have finished treatment; and

Whereas, According to the Michigan Department of Community Health, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in Michigan and the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Michigan women; and

Whereas, One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime; and

Whereas, All women are at risk for breast cancer and the two most important risk factors are being female and getting older; and

Whereas, The five year survival rate among women whose breast cancer has not spread beyond the breast at the time of diagnosis is close to 100 percent; and

Whereas, Since the inception of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in 1985, mammography use across America has doubled and breast cancer death rates have declined; and

Whereas, Efforts to promote increased mammography screening have resulted in the third Friday in October being declared National Mammography Day; and

Whereas, Even with impressive progress, many women do not utilize mammography or other recommended testing methods at regular intervals before physical symptoms can be seen or felt. Breast cancer deaths could decline further if all women age 40 and older received recommended screenings at regular intervals; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 2016 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We urge all Michiganders to use this month as an opportunity to educate themselves about breast cancer and take proactive steps to reduce their risks and get appropriate screenings.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Rep. Brinks moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:

Substitute for House Resolution No. 352.

A resolution to declare October 2016 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, October has long been recognized across America as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in an effort to raise public awareness about the importance of early detection; and

Whereas, In 2016, it is estimated that among U.S. women, there will be 246,660 new cases of invasive breast cancer and 61,000 new cases of in situ breast cancer along with over 40,000 breast cancer deaths; and

Whereas, In 2016, there are more than 2.8 million women with a history of breast cancer in the U.S. This includes women currently being treated and women who have finished treatment; and

Whereas, According to the Michigan Department of Community Health, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in Michigan women and the most common newly diagnosed cancer in Michigan women; and

Whereas, One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime; and

Whereas, Everyone is at risk for breast cancer but the two most important risk factors are being female and getting older; and

Whereas, The five year survival rate among women whose breast cancer has not spread beyond the breast at the time of diagnosis is close to 100 percent; and

Whereas, Since the inception of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in 1985, mammography use across America has doubled and breast cancer death rates have declined; and

Whereas, Efforts to promote increased mammogram screening have resulted in the third Friday in October being declared National Mammography Day; and

Whereas, Even with impressive progress, many women do not utilize mammograms or other recommended testing methods at regular intervals before physical symptoms can be seen or felt. Breast cancer deaths could decline further if all women age 40 and older received recommended screenings at regular intervals; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 2016 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We urge all Michiganders to use this month as an opportunity to educate themselves about breast cancer and take proactive steps to reduce their risks and get appropriate screenings.

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. Lauwers, Cochran, Kelly and LaVoy offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 353.

A resolution to declare Clay Township the Sturgeon Angling Capital of Michigan.

Whereas, By far more sturgeon angling occurs in the North and Middle channels of the St. Clair River within the political boundaries of Clay Township than anywhere else in Michigan. Though other areas of the state are open to catch and immediate release sturgeon fishing, populations are too small to make sturgeon a viable target species in most watersheds. In a few other areas where some harvest is allowed, regulations severely restrict the seasons. Most sturgeon fishing in the St. Clair River occurs in the North Channel which is almost entirely within the boundaries of Clay Township; and

Whereas, The waters of the St. Clair River within Clay Township have the longest and most active harvest seasons for lake sturgeon in Michigan for non-stocked waters with natural reproduction. The harvest season in the waters of the St. Clair River in Clay Township runs from July 16th until the end of September. Catch and immediate release angling continues until the end of November; and

Whereas, More sturgeon fishing permits are issued to anglers in the greater Detroit metro area including Wayne, Macomb, St. Clair and Oakland counties with the vast majority issued in Macomb and St. Clair Counties. Those anglers fish almost exclusively within the Clay Township waters of the North Channel of the St. Clair River; and

Whereas, The waters of the North Channel of the St. Clair River within the boundaries of Clay Township support the only commercial charter boat fishery for lake sturgeon in the State of Michigan; and

Whereas, More tagged sturgeon are reported to the Department of Natural Resources and more Lake Sturgeon Management Cooperator patches are issued to anglers fishing the Clay Township waters of the St. Clair River than to anglers fishing anywhere else in the State of Michigan; and

Whereas, A vast majority of lake sturgeon recorded in the Michigan DNR master angler program are taken from Clay Township waters of the North Channel of the St. Clair River. A search of the records for the last 5 years shows that 63 of 67 entries came from the St. Clair River and Lake St. Clair; and

Whereas, Michigan’s only sturgeon, and most unique fishing tournament, the North Channel Sturgeon Classic is held fully within the Clay Township waters of the North Channel of the St. Clair River. There were more than 33 fish caught by anglers during the tournament in 2015; and

Whereas, National Geographic Television filmed a sturgeon angling segment on the Clay Township waters of the North Channel of the St. Clair which aired in 2009 and several times thereafter as part of the Monster Fish Series. Michigan Out of Doors Television has done several sturgeon angling segments over the last several years for the television show. All of these trips have taken place in the Clay Township waters of the North Channel of the St. Clair River; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare Clay Township the Sturgeon Angling Capital of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Clay Township, St. Clair County, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, organizers of the North Channel Sturgeon Classic, and the Michigan United Conservation Clubs.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Rep. Dianda offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 344.

A resolution to request that the Michigan Attorney General and Michigan State Police investigate the possible waste, fraud, and abuse of power by former Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville and the Senate Business Office regarding the lease of the Capitol View Building.

Whereas, Former Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville, on behalf of the Senate, agreed to lease the basement and seven floors of the Capitol View Building from Boji Group in 2014 for new Senate offices; and

Whereas, Instead of making the financially prudent decision to renovate the Farnum Building, which currently houses Senate offices and is owned by the state of Michigan, Senator Richardville decided to move the Senate from the Farnum Building to the Capitol View Building at the expense of Michigan taxpayers. The estimated cost of renovating the Farnum Building ranged from only $10 million to $30 million. The lease and renovation of the Capitol View Building is estimated to cost the state $134 million; and

Whereas, Irregularities surrounding the bidding and approval process cast doubt on whether Senator Richardville acted in the best interests of the Senate, the Legislature, and the people of Michigan; and

Whereas, The Senate grossly overpaid for the Capitol View Building, relying on negotiations to set the final price rather than requesting an appraisal of the property. The Department of Technology, Management, and Budget requires an appraisal before a real estate transaction with the state of Michigan to protect taxpayer interest. The Lansing City Assessor’s Office currently values the Capitol View Building at $12 million, but the Senate paid $41 million; and

Whereas, Boji Group may have been ineligible to conduct business with the state of Michigan at the time of the agreement but was selected anyway. The Department of Technology, Management, and Budget requires vendors to sign a responsibility certification stating that the company and its officers have not failed to pay any federal, state, or local taxes. Records show that the Department of Treasury had issued a tax lien notice against Boji Group in May 2014, which was not released until after Boji Group submitted its official bid. Either Boji Group did not sign the certification or it made a false statement on the certification, either of which could have been grounds for its disqualification; and

Whereas, Senator Richardville may have an inappropriate relationship with Boji Group. The Boji family has made significant contributions to Senator Richardville’s campaign committees and the campaign committees of his political allies. In addition, Senator Richardville met with Boji Group before bids were submitted, and since leaving office, has offered an endorsement of Boji Group in the company’s advertising materials and has consulted on behalf of Boji Group’s interests; and

Whereas, An expenditure of this magnitude requires careful scrutiny, but the Senate’s lease of the Capitol View Building was shrouded in secrecy. Given that Senator Richardville approved a deal that was much more expensive than renovating the Farnum Building and awarded the contract to a potentially ineligible company with which he has close ties, an independent investigation is necessary to determine if any state or federal laws were broken during the bidding process, negotiations, or execution of the Capitol View Building purchase; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we request that the Michigan Attorney General and Michigan State Police investigate the possible waste, fraud, and abuse of power by former Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville and the Senate Business office regarding the lease of the Capitol View Building for new Senate office space from the Boji Group, LLC; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Attorney General and the director of the Michigan State Police.

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. Hoadley, Wittenberg, Chirkun, Moss, Hovey-Wright, LaGrand, Brinks, Pagan, Chang, Talabi, Cochran, Driskell, Faris, Schor and Singh offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 351.

A resolution to declare October 11, 2016, as National Coming Out Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, National Coming Out Day is recognized internationally as a day of self-affirmation and to raise awareness of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGTBQ) community and the movement for equality; and

Whereas, National Coming Out Day was founded in 1988 by to mark the anniversary of the second National March on Washington, with an estimated half a million participants, for “Lesbian and Gay Rights” which took place in 1987; and

Whereas, National Coming Out Day emphasizes the importance of “coming out,” the voluntary self-disclosure of one’s sexual orientation and/or gender identity; and

Whereas, National Coming Out Day creates an opportunity for the people of Michigan to celebrate the rich variation of persons in our state and to value their contributions to our communities; and

Whereas, The people of Michigan firmly believe in a society that values the freedom, worth, and dignity of each human being; and

Whereas, The people of Michigan understand and appreciate the cultural, civic, and economic contributions of the LGBTQ community to the greater community of the state; and

Whereas, October 11 is recognized and celebrated as National Coming Out Day throughout the country and worldwide; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 11, 2016 as National Coming Out Day in the state of Michigan, and be it further

Resolved, That we pledge to continue our efforts in creating and maintaining a state that provides acceptance, equal opportunity, fair treatment, and human dignity for all people.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Families, Children, and Seniors.

Rep. Hooker, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on this HICA Modification change because it doesn’t set aside money in case the Federal government rejects this fix and we are assessed the back amount of it could be nearly a billion dollars on future budgets.”

Rep. Howrylak, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

While the Health Insurance Claims Assessment is unpopular and not necessarily the best way to fund Michigan’s share of Medicaid funding, this four bill package (SB 987-990) is particularly concerning. Indeed, the bills are opposed by the State Budget Office in their present form, so more work is clearly needed. Because there is uncertainty regarding the federal government’s position on this restructuring of state support for Medicaid funding, this is clearly not a viable long-term plan. Our tax and funding structure for Medicaid should be definite and long-term. The most obvious source of Medicaid funding should start with the Tobacco Settlement funds. Unfortunately this is not the case and that stream of money is spent elsewhere.”

Senate Bill No. 988, entitled

A bill to amend 2000 PA 489, entitled “Michigan trust fund act,” by amending sections 2 and 6 (MCL 12.252 and 12.256), section 2 as amended by 2005 PA 232, and by adding section 11.

Rep. Howrylak, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

It is a dangerous policy to further divert tax revenue going into the General Fund by statutorily forcing it into a specific purpose. Allocations are best done as part of the appropriations process. It requires discipline and restraint by policymakers. In the long run, this change will not be sustainable as it will put too much pressure on both the General Fund and on the ability of the State to properly pay its share of Medicaid.

While the Health Insurance Claims Assessment is unpopular and not necessarily the best way to fund Michigan’s share of Medicaid funding, this four bill package (SB 987-990) is particularly concerning. Indeed, the bills are opposed by the State Budget Office in their present form, so more work is clearly needed.
