Pastor Fred Brame II, Pastor of Prosper Center in Detroit, offered the following invocation:

“Lord, we come to you today, giving You thanks for such an awesome opportunity to serve the people of the state of Michigan. We welcome Your Presence in this assembly of duly elected officials of this great state and continually thank You for empowering them to be leaders and champions for all Michiganders.

Lord, we understand that the pressing needs of the people of this state are very complex and in many instances, dire. Galatians 6:2 tell us to “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” We thank You for raising a new level of sensitivity to the constituency of the state of Michigan from its elected officials to properly handle its concerns.

Lord, we also understand the heavy burden that this legislative body must carry in effort to meet these needs. We thank You that Your favor, grace, and mercy cover the Members of the Michigan House of Representatives in their decision-making and policy creation so that this state, and all of its inhabitants, shall prosper and be in good health in perpetuity.

Lord, we understand that there are many factors that come to distract and dissuade the legislative process. We thank You that this legislative body will continually remember its oath of office and its commitment to the people of Michigan as it enacts laws that are humane in nature, fair in administration, and wholesome in intent.

Lord, today, we come to You, united, as One Michigan, focused on powerfully and dynamically moving forward with making our state a premiere, top-tier, world-class state. From as far North as Hancock to as far South as Morenci, from as far West as Ironwood to as far East as Port Huron, and ALL points in between, Lord, thank You for blessing our state, with love, peace, prosperity, joy, happiness, success and provision always and forever!

AMEN!”

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Liberati, Miller, Brinks, Calley, Camilleri, Chang, Chirkun, Clemente, Cochran, Crawford, Faris, Frederick, Geiss, Greig, Hoadley, Howrylak, Hughes, Jones, Kelly, Kesto, Lasinski, Marino, Maturen, Moss, Pagan, Rendon, Sabo, Schor, Singh, Sowerby, Theis, Webber, Wittenberg and Cox offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 60.

A resolution to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Michigan State Police.

Whereas, Throughout the century, the exemplary men and women of the Michigan State Police have served the citizens of our state with the utmost dedication, proficiency, and integrity. During the celebratory observance of this historic milestone, the people of Michigan honor their distinguished state police force and offer unending appreciation and admiration; and

Whereas, What began as a stopgap security measure during the strenuous days of World War I has now progressed to a world-renowned police agency. The Michigan Department of State Police was first organized as the Michigan State Troops Permanent Force by Governor Albert Sleeper on April 19, 1917, for domestic security and approved for permanent status by the legislature in 1919. During the early years, the state police assisted local police, provided traffic patrol, guided law enforcement, and enforced prohibition laws; and

Whereas, The Michigan State Police have grown from a cavalry of three hundred men to a full-service police agency with nearly three thousand enlisted and civilian members. The department has continued to advance its reputation for providing service through excellence, integrity, and courtesy. The Michigan State Police has a history of equitable recruitment, with the hiring of the first African American trooper and the first two female troopers in 1967. Colonel Kriste Kibbey Etue became the first female director when she was appointed by Governor Rick Snyder in 2011; and

Whereas, The professionalism and efficiency of the Michigan State Police are recognized nationally for innovation in numerous areas of law enforcement. The Bureau of Investigation and Identification first created in 1919, which included a forensics lab, polygraph machines, and fingerprint files, became the model for scientific crime solving. The state police recruit schools were reproduced in other states as were the department’s methods of scientific reporting and analysis of accidents and traffic enforcement. The department established the first state-operated police radio in the world, and developed a sophisticated computer-based law enforcement information network (LEIN) that was the first of its kind; and

Whereas, The Michigan State Police has continued to excel in the face of uncertainty and, when not protecting the people of Michigan from domestic and foreign threats, has taken on additional duties in the area of crime prevention. The force has unwaveringly ensured safety and freedom through the trying times of war, civil unrest, and the drug epidemic. Troopers are now tasked with security at the Capitol, freeway patrol in metro areas, and probing for crime solutions; and

Whereas, The Fallen Trooper Memorial was dedicated in 2001 for the fifty-two members of the department that have affirmed their oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, the honors and traditions of the Michigan State Police, and the public safety of the people of Michigan with their ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. The selflessness, bravery, and commitment to duty of these troopers will always be remembered by the citizens of Michigan; and

Whereas, Throughout the years, the Michigan State Police has mobilized many times to maintain order, protect property, and provide emergency relief. Michigan citizens have come to rely on these valiant law enforcement officers in times of civil disorder, natural disaster, or personal distress, and their trust has been well-founded. We are indeed fortunate and grateful for the contributions of the members of the Michigan Department of State Police to the people of this state; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Michigan State Police. We honor the contributions that the State Police have made to the state of Michigan and the safety of its citizens and offer the very highest praise, commendation, and profound gratitude.

Messages from the Senate

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 16.

A concurrent resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for John D. Pridnia, former member of the House of Representatives and Senate.

Whereas, The members of this legislative body were saddened to learn of the passing of former Senator John Pridnia. A tenacious and hard-working advocate for his community and our state, Senator Pridnia’s notable contributions will be long remembered and cherished; and

Whereas, Born and raised in Detroit, John Pridnia attended Macomb Community College and Wayne State University before moving to Hubbard Lake, where he and his wife, Lisa, raised three sons. In northeast Michigan, he amassed a wealth of experience running numerous businesses in the Harrisville area. He also served as president of the Harrisville Lions Club and was a member of the Harrisville City Council and the Tawas Area Rotary Club; and

Whereas, First elected to the House of Representatives in 1982, John Pridnia served four terms as state representative to the 106th House District before his election to the State Senate in 1990, serving a single term representing the Thirty-sixth Senate District. Whether as chair of the Senate Health Policy Committee or Assistant Senate Majority Leader, Senator Pridnia worked tirelessly to make positive contributions to our state’s health care policies. The passion and attention to detail that defined his work ethic were evidenced in other issues as well, which ranged from the environment and outdoor recreation and tourism to economic development and taxation; and

Whereas, Retiring to Port Austin, John Pridnia continued to remain active in state and local politics and enjoyed the company of family and friends. His leadership was integral to creating the Port Austin Farmer’s Market, traveling countless miles across the state to secure vendors for the summer affair. After years of planning, Senator Pridnia was also a driving force behind the Port Austin harbor revitalization. He was a mentor to business owners and a conscientious public servant, and his family may take a small measure of solace in knowing that his meritorious service to our state will not soon be forgotten; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of John D. Pridnia, a member of the House of Representatives from 1983 to 1990 and the Senate from 1991 to 1994; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Pridnia family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory.

The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.

The Speaker and the entire membership of the House of Representatives were named co‑sponsors of the concurrent resolution.

The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,

The concurrent resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.

By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Wittenberg, Sabo, Sneller, Sowerby, Hertel, Zemke, Rabhi, Gay-Dagnogo, Hammoud, Elder, Pagan, Moss, Brinks, Lasinski, Yanez, Love, Chang, Chirkun, Camilleri, Clemente, Cochran, Faris, Geiss, Greig, Hoadley, Howrylak, Jones and Singh offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 61.

A resolution to urge the Governor and the Department of Environmental Quality to reject Nestlé Waters North America Inc.’s application for an increased water withdrawal.

Whereas, Nestlé Waters North America Inc. has requested approval from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for an increased water withdrawal to produce bottled water. If approved, Nestlé would be authorized to withdraw up to 576,000 gallons per day of spring water, a 60 percent increase over their current withdrawal, to sell in bottles throughout the Midwest under its Ice Mountain brand; and

Whereas, The increased withdrawal would impact an area of Osceola County containing some of Michigan’s most valuable natural resources. Located at the headwaters of Chippewa Creek and Twin Creek—coldwater trout streams flowing into the Muskegon River—the well would pump water that would otherwise flow to these streams, reducing streamflow and raising water temperatures, and pull water from nearby wetlands, impacting wildlife habitat and other wetland functions; and

Whereas, Nestlé’s application does not provide sufficient information to evaluate the full impacts of its proposed increased withdrawal. Nestlé’s analysis relies too much on hydrologic models that may underestimate the actual impact on wetlands and streams, rather than pump tests and actual data collection. In addition, its application fails to fully assess the potential impact on threatened and endangered species that may use these aquatic habitats; and

Whereas, Nestlé should be required to provide the most thorough evaluation and held to the highest standards before its increased withdrawal is approved. Only fourteen years ago, Nestlé improperly accounted for the impact of its withdrawals, spurring Michigan’s citizens and courts to intervene to protect our state’s natural resources. In response, the Legislature established the current process that recognizes the unique circumstances and potential resource impacts of withdrawals for bottled water. Nestlé has failed to meet those standards established by the Legislature in 2006 and 2008; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Governor and the Department of Environmental Quality to reject Nestlé Waters North America Inc.’s application for an increased water withdrawal; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor and the Director of the Department of Environmental Quality.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources.

Gay-Dagnogo, Wittenberg, Lasinski, Hammoud, Byrd, Sabo, Elder, Love, Dianda, Cochran, Robinson, Liberati, Sneller, Faris, Durhal, Zemke, McCready, Greimel, LaGrand, Jones, Neeley, Hertel, Clemente, Singh, Camilleri, Guerra, Phelps, Brinks, Schor, Scott, Green, Yanez, Yaroch, Sowerby, Hoadley, Pagan, Brann, Pagel, Chang, Kesto, Peterson, Santana, Crawford, Rendon, Alexander, Lilly, Farrington, Kosowski, Garcia, Sheppard, Webber, Allor, Chirkun, Geiss, Greig, Hughes, Maturen and Moss offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 62.

A resolution to express support for increased participation of women in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Whereas, Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are vital fields of increasing importance in driving the economic engine of the United States. STEM-educated graduates have and will continue to play critical roles in helping to develop clean energy technologies, to find life-saving cures for diseases, to solve security challenges, and to discover new solutions for deteriorating transportation and infrastructure; and

Whereas, While girls and boys enroll and perform at about the same level in math and science classes in primary and secondary school, gender disparities begin to emerge in higher education. According to the National Science Foundation, women received significantly fewer degrees in engineering, computer science, physical science, and math than men in 2016; and

Whereas, Women are unrepresented in the male-dominated STEM workforce. They make up half of the college-educated workforce in the United States, but only 29 percent of the science and engineering workforce; and

Whereas, The recent blockbuster movie, Hidden Figures, gives enlightened inspiration to young girls who might like to pursue a degree in the STEM fields. It tells the story of Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughan, who were African-American mathematicians who worked behind the scenes at NASA in the segregated West Area Computers division of Langley Research Center. Their meticulous calculations helped the United States catch up in the “space race” and send John Glenn into orbit around Earth; and

Whereas, While girls and women are clearly as capable as boys and men of doing STEM work, they need greater understanding and appreciation of STEM careers and access to quality STEM opportunities. Girls should not be hindered, bullied, or shamed from pursuing careers in STEM fields; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we express support for increased participation of women in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Governor Snyder, the Michigan Superintendent of Public Instruction, and the Michigan Association of State Universities.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Workforce and Talent Development.

Reps. Pagan, Cox, Rabhi, Marino, Green, Sabo, Love, Chang, Brinks, Gay-Dagnogo, Sowerby, Chirkun, Hughes, Lasinski, Clemente, Cochran, Faris, Farrington, Frederick, Geiss, Greig, Hoadley, Jones, Maturen, Moss, Schor, Singh, Webber and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 63.

A resolution to declare April 2017 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Sexual Assault Awareness Month calls attention to the fact that sexual violence is widespread and impacts women, children, and men of all racial, cultural, and economic backgrounds; and

Whereas, The term sexual assault refers to sexual contact or behavior that occurs without explicit consent of the victim; and

Whereas, According to the National Institute of Justice & Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, Prevalence, Incidence and Consequences of Violence Against Women Survey, one out of every six American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime and approximately 3 percent of American men or 1 in 33, have experienced an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime; and

Whereas, Child sexual abuse prevention must be a priority to confront the reality; and

Whereas, From 2009-2013, Child Protective Services agencies substantiated, or found strong evidence to indicate that, 63,000 children a year were victims of sexual abuse and a majority of child victims are ages 12-17. Of victims under the age of 18, 34 percent of victims of sexual assault and rape are under the age of 12 and 66 percent of victims of sexual assault and rape are ages 12-17; and

Whereas, Michigan State Police statistics indicate that 11,873 sexual assault related offences were reported to law enforcement in 2013; and

Whereas, Sexual violence can deeply and enduringly impact survivors on psychological, emotional, and social levels; and

Whereas, Ninety-four percent of women who are raped experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms during the two weeks following the rape and approximately 70 percent of rape or sexual assault victims experience moderate to severe distress, a larger percentage than for any other violent crime; and

Whereas, Sexual violence is an intolerable violent crime with public health implications for every person in Michigan; and

Whereas, Access to informed and supportive services can greatly increase survivors’ ability to heal from sexual assault; and

Whereas, Our state and individual communities must be committed to hold sexual assault perpetrators accountable for their heinous crimes; and

Whereas, When we actively increase education, awareness, and community involvement, we can help prevent sexual violence and create a safer environment for everyone; and

Whereas, We must work together to educate our entire population about what can be done to prevent sexual assault, support survivors, and ensure that survivors are not re-victimized; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 2017 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We strongly support the efforts of national, state, and local partners, and of every citizen, to actively engage in public and private efforts to prevent sexual violence and will take appropriate action and support one another to create a safer environment for all.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

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

Substitute for House Resolution No. 63.

Whereas, The term sexual assault refers to sexual contact or behavior that occurs without explicit consent of the victim; and

Whereas, According to the National Institute of Justice & Centers for Disease Control & Prevention’s Prevalence, Incidence and Consequences of Violence Against Women Survey, one out of every six American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime and approximately 3 percent of American men or 1 in 33, have experienced an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime; and

House Resolution No. 64.

A resolution to declare April 2017 as Campus Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Campus sexual violence is a prevalent and serious public health concern. According to an Association of American Universities (AAU) report, 11.2 percent of all students experience rape or sexual assault through physical force, violence, or incapacitation (among all graduate and undergraduate students); and

Whereas, Among undergraduate students, 23.1 percent of females and 5.4 percent of males experience rape or sexual assault through physical force, violence, or incapacitation; and

Whereas, A report by the U.S. Department of Justice found that only 20 percent of female student survivors age 18-24 report to law enforcement; and

Whereas, The long-term effects of sexual assault can impact students in a variety of ways including physically, mentally, and academically; and

Whereas, Colleges and universities are in a unique position to help create and foster an environment where sexual abuse is intolerable and prevention is a priority; and

Whereas, Effective strategies can help address the root causes of sexual violence and a change in culture is crucial to ending campus sexual assault; and

Whereas, We must work with our colleges and universities to educate our entire population about what can be done to prevent sexual assault, support survivors, and ensure that survivors are not re-victimized; and

Whereas, When we actively increase education, awareness, and community involvement, we can help prevent sexual violence and create a safer environment for everyone; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 2017 as Campus Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month in the state of Michigan. We strongly support the efforts of national, state, and local partners, and of every citizen, to actively engage in public and private efforts to prevent sexual violence on college campuses and will take appropriate action and support one another to create a safer environment for students, faculty, staff, and surrounding communities.

House Resolution No. 65.

A resolution to declare April 24, 2017, as a Day of Remembrance in the state of Michigan for the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923.

Whereas, Michigan Armenian churches have been involved in numerous charity and community drives across the state, including, but not limited to, providing college scholarships for deserving students and serving Armenian refugee communities across the state; and

Whereas, Between 1915-1923, Armenians were subject to torture, starvation, mass murder, and exile from their historic homeland. Over 1.5 million Armenians lost their lives. The bulk of the Armenian population was displaced from their homes and forced to escape to neighboring and far away communities. Many refugees fled to the United States. Today, Michigan is honored to be home to a vibrant Armenian-American population. This thriving community is a proud reminder of the survival and determination even in the face of extreme injustices. The Armenian Genocide represented a deliberate attempt by the Ottoman Empire to eliminate all traces of a thriving, noble civilization; and

Whereas, Armenian communities all over the world commemorate this tragedy on April 24. On this day, we honor the victims and survivors of the genocide and reaffirm our commitment to preventing future atrocities from being committed against any people; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 24, 2017, as a Day of Remembrance in the state of Michigan for the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923.
