Lord, we rejoice in the wonders and beauties of Your creation in our state. From the north to the south, the east to the west, we marvel at Your work.
Lord, we rejoice for the people of the state and for the talents and skills You have given them.
Lord, we ask for Your guiding hand on this chamber today as we do the people’s work, which is ultimately Your work. This we ask in Your name, Amen.”

The motion prevailed.
Comments and Recommendations
Rep. Nesbitt moved that the following remarks be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Rep. Heise:
“Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to announce my departure from the House of Representatives, effective Friday, November 18. I am leaving early to become the new Supervisor for the Charter Township of Plymouth.
The last six years serving with you have been among the most rewarding, interesting, and challenging of my life. I’m honored to have served with each and every of you.
None of this would be possible without the love and support of my family - my wife Catherine, and my daughters Katie and Claire. Unfortunately, they can’t be here today as Claire is in high school back home, Katie is at MSU down the street, and Judge Heise is on the bench, dispensing justice in the Wayne County Circuit Court.
But they will read my remarks in the House Journal, and more importantly, so will my grandchildren and great-grandchildren - and yours too. Loved ones who we’ll never meet will get a glimpse of what motivated us, and what we accomplished, in the Michigan Legislature.
Here’s what we faced, just six short years ago, Michigan’s future was bleak. Unemployment at 15 percent. Government shutdowns, budget deficits, lack of leadership. We were telling our kids to move to Chicago for jobs. Detroit was near collapse. It seemed like we had lost our way of life, and our hopes for our children and families.
One man stood up and vowed to reverse this decline. His name is Rick Snyder, and I am proud to have served with him. A man who didn’t need the job, and doesn’t deserve the scorn he’s taken with it, promised to turn Michigan around, and with our help, he did.
He did it with those of us in the ‘Class of 2010’ who are term-limited this year. He did it with people like Jase Bolger, John Walsh, Jim Stamas, and Joe Haveman, who helped lead the charge for reform, budget discipline, and tax fairness that quite frankly, saved Michigan. The leadership of Kevin Cotter, Tom Leonard, Al Pscholka and many others, have kept Michigan’s turnaround going strong.
Governor Snyder and many of us in this room also led the fight to bring Detroit back to life. ‘The Comeback City’ is now the heart of the Comeback State.
We made the tough decisions to advance Michigan and address longstanding problems that had been put off for too long. Our decisions weren’t easy, and not always popular; but we were sent here to fix Michigan, to reform government, and we delivered.
It’s been long said in politics that the best legacy an elected official can leave is that he left office in better shape than when he found it. Those of us leaving this year can definitely say that we left our beloved state far better off than where we were six years ago.
It’s been a tough road for all of us, with many long days, nights away from family; missed school concerts, anniversaries, and birthdays. But our mission was worth it, and for many of us, our work here will soon be complete. I’m especially proud that I’m on track to passing 40 Public Acts over the past six years. I have a few more bills coming your way in Lame Duck - they’re great bills - so please vote for them.
As Chairman of the House Criminal Justice Committee for the past four years, I also took action to institute wide-ranging criminal justice reforms, guide and implement Indigent Defense protections, and protect children by fighting the scourge of Meth, designer drugs, and human trafficking, to name a few.
I also want to thank my seat mates these last six years. Thank you to my first seat mate and mentor, Joe Haveman. It’s all his fault! Thank you to Tom Hooker, who will also be a Township Supervisor in the weeks ahead. Thanks for being a role model to everyone in this chamber. And thanks for the friendship of the award-winning Dave Maturen. Please keep an eye on Dave in the weeks ahead - we want to make sure he doesn’t miss any votes!
Throughout it all, these past six years, I have kept true to a core principle: to never forget where you came from, and who brought you there - your family, your friends, and the hardworking taxpayers who elected you.
As many of you know, this has been a remarkable and difficult year for me and my family. Fortunately, the people of Plymouth Township did their homework, knew what was at stake, and trusted me with four years as their CEO. All of this, in a write-in campaign that made statewide history.
I will be forever grateful for the support of the people of Plymouth Township, and I hope you will appreciate my service back home as much as you have here in Lansing. I did not forget where I came from, and I will never forget you.
I also want to thank my outstanding staff who have helped make my time in Lansing productive and enjoyable, especially my team in this past term - Valerie Knol and Sue Brams.
As a future ‘former’ legislator, rest assured that I will be back to testify on bills and help pass legislation that impacts Plymouth Township, Wayne County, and the people of Southeast Michigan. I’m especially interested in continuing the progress we’ve made on Human Trafficking, and criminal justice reform.
And so, today I again bid farewell to this Honorable House and this beloved institution; it has been an honor and remarkable privilege to have served the People of Michigan, Northville, Canton, and especially Plymouth, as a member of the House of Representatives.
Thank you, and God Bless Michigan, and God Bless America.
Mr. Speaker, I ask that my remarks be memorialized in the House Journal for this day.”
By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of
Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Callton, Cochran, Geiss, Hovey-Wright, Hughes and LaVoy offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 354.
A resolution to encourage the adoption of a frequent, functional, instrumentation-based, report-driven, and objective functional balance assessment program in senior living community risk management and resident safety programs to reduce the risk and episodes of falls in seniors.
Whereas, Seniors have an approximately a 1 in 3 chance of experiencing falls every year in the home and senior living community dwellings. Senior citizens aged 65 and older statistically face a high risk of falls. Falls can result in catastrophic injuries, loss of independence, increased health cost and greater burden on family/healthcare systems. The direct U.S. health care cost for fatal falls was $179 million this past year with non-fatal falls costing $19 billion in 2000, $30 billion in 2010, and projected to reach $54.9 billion by 2020. It is projected that the costs to Medicare associated with hip fractures following a fall will exceed $240 billion in 2040; and
Whereas, Innovative balance assessment instrumentation and technology with analytic performance reports has been developed to objectively identify the risk of falls, and the severity of functional balance dysfunction through weight shifting patterns driven by upper body movement. This technology facilitates evidence-based recommendations to decrease the risk of falls through skilled restorative care or through the inclusion of compensatory/adaptive methods; and
Whereas, A fall-related safety score can be calculated for senior living independent/assisted living communities by using statistical data to analyze the incidents of falls in those who are screened for balance dysfunction on a regularly scheduled interval and provided educational reports and tools to decrease their risk throughout the year; and
Whereas, Utilization of objective fall-risk analytics and balance dysfunction screening can contribute to a drastic reduction in falls and fall-related injuries to the U.S. health care system. Providing this service will assist in promoting a culture of resident/patient centered care and preventive health management; now, therefore, be it.
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we strongly encourage the adoption of a frequent, functional, instrumentation-based, report-driven, and objective functional balance assessment programs in senior living community risk management and resident safety programming to address and mitigate the rising costs associated with and prevalence of falls; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, and all bodies conducting health care facilities accreditation in Michigan.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Families, Children, and Seniors.
Reps. Callton, Cochran, Faris, Geiss, Hovey-Wright, Howrylak, Hughes and LaVoy offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 355.
A resolution to declare November 2016 as Epilepsy Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Epilepsy is a neurological disorder where the brain’s normal electrical pattern is disrupted by sudden and synchronized bursts of electrical energy that may affect consciousness, movement or sensation while creating long-term effects on the lifestyle of individuals with epilepsy; and
Whereas, One in 26 people will develop epilepsy and 150,000 new cases of epilepsy are diagnosed each year; and
Whereas, Epilepsy affects between 2.2 and 3 million people in the United States and 65 million people worldwide; and
Whereas, Epilepsy is a complex neurological disorder that results in almost one-third of epilepsy patients living with uncontrolled seizures due to a lack of clinically available treatment that works for them; and
Whereas, The complexity of this disorder requires further research to find a cure and additional treatments for epilepsy patients; and
Whereas, Epilepsy Awareness Month is recognized each November to increase awareness of the disorder, highlight the need for further research and demonstrate support for the millions of people living with epilepsy in the United States; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan joins the Epilepsy Foundation and other interested agencies and organizations in urging patients, supporters, health care providers, and the general public to share information about this disease and available treatments; giving hope of a better future for people with epilepsy; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare November 2016 as Epilepsy Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We urge all citizens to observe this momentous occasion.
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. 356.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Kurt Heise.
Whereas, It is a privilege to extend the congratulations of the House of Representatives to the Honorable Kurt Heise as he leaves this legislative body. For the last six years, he has represented the people of the Twentieth District with integrity and determination; and
Whereas, Representative Heise had a long history of public service even before his election to the House of Representatives in 2010. After earning a bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan and a juris doctorate and master of laws from Wayne State University, he turned his attention to local government and municipal, labor, and environmental law. Representative Heise served as an assistant city attorney in Dearborn Heights and Woodhaven, a mayoral deputy in Dearborn Heights, and the director of the Wayne County Department of Environment; and
Whereas, Since taking office in 2011, Representative Heise has been an active legislator, sponsoring more than 30 public acts over six years, including critical reforms to the state’s human trafficking law. He has served on the Elections; Elections and Ethics; Transportation and Infrastructure; Judiciary; Local Government; Education; and Families, Children and Seniors committees. He was also the chair of the Criminal Justice committee during the 2013-2014 and 2015-2016 sessions. His hard work and dedication to the integrity of this legislative body have been deeply appreciated; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Kurt Heise for his notable contributions to this legislative body and our entire state; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Heise as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Talabi, Durhal, Faris, Hoadley, Schor, Pagan, Wittenberg, Rutledge, Garrett, Banks, Byrd, Chirkun, Cochran, Moss, Yanez, Brinks, Dianda, Lane, Greig, Gay-Dagnogo and Robinson, Geiss and Hovey-Wright offered the following concurrent resolution:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 26.
A concurrent resolution to call on the governor to recognize that recent rainfall and flooding in Detroit and eastern Wayne County have resulted in a major loss of property and created potentially hazardous conditions requiring state emergency assistance.
Whereas, Heavy rains experienced in the Detroit area in early July caused flooding in an estimated 2,500 basements in homes, streets, and yards located on Detroit’s east side. Residents experienced up to 2.5 feet of water and sewage in their basements. Once water retreated, many were left with unsanitary mud and sludge on basement floors and in yards; and
Whereas, Residents have to deal with bacteria left by flood waters and mold that will grow if homes and possessions are not completely dried out. Bacteria can cause dangerous gastrointestinal and skin infections. Mold can cause breathing problems, sore throats, aches, and pains; and
Whereas, In addition, the loss of property has been extensive. Many residents have had to replace furniture, water heaters, furnaces, washers, and dryers; and
Whereas, Residents need assistance in ensuring that their homes can be safely occupied. The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department is reviewing the flooding situation in hopes of improving services to residents. However, the department is not participating in cleanup of the flooded areas; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we call on the governor to recognize that recent rainfall and flooding in Detroit and eastern Wayne County have resulted in a major loss of property and created potentially hazardous conditions requiring state emergency assistance in partnership with affected local governmental units; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the Governor.
The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Appropriations.
Reps. Nesbitt and Singh offered the following concurrent resolution:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 27.
A concurrent resolution prescribing the legislative schedule.
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That when the House of Representatives adjourns on Thursday, November 10, 2016, it stands adjourned until Tuesday, November 29, 2016, at 1:30 p.m.; and be it further
Resolved, That when the Senate adjourns on Thursday, November 10, 2016, it stands adjourned until Tuesday, November 29, 2016, at 10:00 a.m.
The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,
The concurrent resolution was adopted.
