Rep. Abdullah Hammoud, from the 15th District, offered the following invocation:
“Bismillah
In the name of God, the infinitely Merciful, the Most Beneficent
We have gathered here today to work together, collectively, across not only partisan lines but all lines that Man and Woman have created onto themselves.
We have come together from the vastness of our beautifully diverse state to do best by the residents of our communities.
And as we aim to fulfill our duties, I pray to You, Oh Nur (oh Light), for the following:
• To enlighten our hearts with understanding as we come to respect and appreciate one another’s differences
• To encourage us to do right by You, Al-Wadud (The Loving One), as we seek to do right by others
• To empower us with conviction in the face of adversity
• To enable us in the search for truth as we seek to be just by all of creation
• And to embolden us with humility, for we are only Man and Woman, and must undoubtedly perfect ourselves before seeking to pass judgement onto others.
Oh Al-Alim (All-Knowing), may You bless the people in this chamber, the people of this state, and the people of this great nation - no matter their color, no matter their creed, no matter their country of origin.
Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Albert, Wentworth, Miller, Howell, Glenn, Hoitenga, Graves, Barrett, Hughes, Canfield, LaFave, Alexander, Bellino, Jones, Sabo, Chirkun, Allor, Cole, Lower, Rendon, Chatfield, Inman, Lucido, Bizon, Dianda, Kivela, VanderWall, Kahle, Farrington, Kosowski, Crawford, Marino and Maturen offered the following concurrent resolution:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 3.
A concurrent resolution to urge the Congress of the United States to properly fund the Department of Veterans Affairs Board of Veterans’ Appeals and to urge the Board to streamline its process so that appeals are decided in a more timely manner.
Whereas, Military veterans have a number of benefits available to them when honorably discharged from service. However, to receive disability benefits, veterans must apply and be approved by agents at local veterans affairs offices. If denied, the veteran has a right to appeal to the federal Board of Veterans’ Appeals; and
Whereas, As of July 2016, more than 81,000 cases were pending before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals, and veterans are waiting an average of five years for cases to be determined. The wait time for a case to be resolved is unacceptable to the men and women who have served our country, and action must be taken to ensure that they are able to access the benefits they have earned; and
Whereas, Additional funding and staff are necessary to properly address the backlog, as well as the estimated 57,000 new complaints received in 2016. Streamlining the complex appeals process is also required. Increased funding for the board was included in H.R. 2577 of 2015. However, the bill did not pass the U.S. Senate before the congressional session ended. Legislation is pending in the 115th Congress (H.R. 457) to require changes to the appeals process to address the backlog of appeals; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we urge the Congress of the United States to properly fund the Department of Veterans Affairs Board of Veterans’ Appeals and to urge the Board to streamline its process so that appeals are decided in a more timely manner; 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, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and the chairman of the Board of Veterans’ Appeals.
The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Military and Veterans Affairs.
