Jesus Christ, it is written in Your word, “I will build my called out governmental assembly and the gates of hell will not prevail.” Lord, You are building something here that evil powers cannot unravel, destroy, or undermine. You are bringing everything together under Your headship for a functional and productive state government that serves a prospering people, and that pleases God, Your Father.
So we pray today in the same way You taught Your disciples to pray. Father, let Your kingdom come; let Your will be done; let Your very Spirit preside today over the affairs of this Senate and over every Senator. Let Your hand, Father, rest on each Senator for revelation and strength to act on that divine insight. Let heaven manifest today, creating an unusual sense of divine strategy and unity that releases strategic solutions for the state.
Meet every need of every person in this great state of Michigan. Deliver us from the evil one, for Yours is the kingdom and Yours is the power and Yours is the glory forever. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A resolution to proclaim May 17-23, 2015, as AMBER Alert Awareness Week.

Whereas, The Michigan AMBER Alert program was the first in the nation to develop a statewide AMBER Alert system utilizing the eyes and ears of millions of people listening to radio, watching television, or viewing MDOT’s electronic message boards to successfully recover 340 abducted endangered children since its inception; and
Whereas, The Michigan State Police and local law enforcement agencies have teamed with Michigan’s broadcasters and other state and local organizations to form an intricate network. It is one of the best and most comprehensive in the nation and employs the latest alerting technology to provide immediate information to the public during an active AMBER Alert; and
Whereas, The Legislature, on behalf of the citizens of the state of Michigan, recognize the important contributions made by the partners and the support of the Michigan AMBER Alert Foundation, which has the purpose of helping to fund AMBER Alert in Michigan through the generosity of corporate donors and grants without state funding; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body proclaim the week of May 17-23, 2015, as AMBER Alert Awareness Week; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Association of Broadcasters, the Michigan Department of State Police, the Michigan Chiefs of Police, the Michigan Sheriffs’ Association, and the Michigan Department of Transportation.

Senate Resolution No. 51.
A resolution to recognize Iosco County as a premier birding destination in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Iosco County has three areas designated by the National Audubon Society as an Important Bird Area (IBA). An IBA is defined as providing essential habitat for one or more species of breeding, wintering, and/or migrating birds; and
Whereas, The scenic byway along the Au Sable River provides habitat for wintering trumpeter swans; and
Whereas, Management areas within the county are designated as nesting areas for the endangered Kirtland’s warbler, one of the most rare members of the wood warbler family. Iosco County has the largest concentration of the Kirtland’s warbler in Michigan; and
Whereas, Tawas Point provides critical habitat for the spring migration of a variety of bird species; and
Whereas, Iosco County contains a large nesting population of bald eagles. It also provides a nesting habitat for osprey, important raptors for the region; and
Whereas, Iosco County has the only identified nesting populations of the endangered piping plover on the U.S. side of Lake Huron; and
Whereas, The annual Tawas Birding Festival held in May attracts bird watchers from around the world; and
Whereas, The new Sunrise Coast Birding Trail also originates at Oscoda and incorporates 150 miles north along the Lake Huron coast to Mackinaw City; and
Whereas, Recognition of Iosco County as a premier birding destination in the state of Michigan has a great impact on the area. Birding enthusiasts promote the natural resources of the area and economic growth through tourism; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we encourage and express support for the recognition of Iosco County as a premier birding destination in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Iosco County Board of Commissioners, the AuSable Valley Audubon, the Michigan Audubon Society, and the National Audubon Society.

Senator Bieda’s statement is as follows:
I’m just rising in support of House Bill No. 4054. This bill will strengthen the cooperation between local governments and state governments in the regulation of mobile home parks. I have received several contacts from local governments explaining that most mobile home park owners/operators are doing a good job, but they need more rules, inspections, and financial assurance when a distressful park falls out of compliance with the health and safety of park residents. It puts their health at risk.
So I want to commend the sponsors, thank them for their work, and I want to request this body’s support for this much-needed legislation.

Statements
Senator Hopgood asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Hopgood’s statement is as follows:
Colleagues, I rise to warn you that we are one more step closer to having nuclear waste permanently disposed of on Lake Huron’s shoreline—threatening our Great Lakes and our way of life. Last week, Canada’s Joint Review Panel recommended to their Minister of Environment the approval of Ontario Power Generation’s deep geologic repository to bury 200,000 cubic meters of radioactive nuclear waste around the shores of Lake Huron.
I can share countless statistics with you about the dangers of this facility, but I shouldn’t have to. You don’t have to be a scientist or geologist to understand the risks this facility poses. Opposing this proposal should be a no-brainer. You wouldn’t dig an outhouse right next to your drinking well, and you wouldn’t plant crops on top of a landfill. We shouldn’t allow a nuclear waste dump next to our Great Lakes. It is as simple as that.
A leak of nuclear waste into our freshwater system could have devastating effects on our region, our state, and our communities: tainting our drinking water, killing off the plant and animal life that call our waters home, and posing serious health risks to families who swim, fish, and boat in Lake Huron and the rivers and lakes which it feeds. It would hurt the bottom line of our businesses and our industries that depend on healthy Great Lakes for their livelihoods.
Communities across Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois, as well as Canada, have all consistently expressed their opposition to this plan, with over 152 resolutions representing 20 million-plus people opposing OPG’s proposed nuclear waste dump. Building a nuclear waste dump on Lake Huron’s shoreline should concern us all, regardless of where we live, as all of our constituents enjoy our beaches and fresh water regardless of where they live. Because of that, we should all be united and unified in the protection of our natural resources and our opposition to this proposal.
The status of this proposal now lies in the hands of Canada’s Minister of Environment. We need to keep up the political and public pressure on our side of the lake to keep nuclear waste away from our shorelines and out of our waters. I hope that you all join me in continuing this fight to keep this nuclear waste dump from our shared Great Lakes shoreline.
