Rep. Jeff Noble, from the 20th District, offered the following invocation:

“Heavenly Father as we come before You this morning, we are humbled. We know Father that so many have stood here and prayed for us to have wisdom. God we know that all wisdom comes from You according to scriptures and from Your mouth comes knowledge and understanding, but God, today I would pray for something even more. I would pray first of all that You would give us a heart of humility, for Your word says ‘it is by grace I have given, I say every one of you do not think more highly of yourself then you are but rather think of yourself with sober judgement in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.’ Father, I ask that You would make us respectful, because Your word again says ‘love the Lord your God with all your heart, your mind, your soul and your strength. That is the greatest commandment, but the second is to love your neighbor as yourself’ and God I pray that we would do that. Lord, I would also pray that You would make us mindful because Your word tells us in Philippians 4:8 ‘brothers whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.’ Finally, Lord, I would ask that You would make us faithful. For the Bible tells us in Micha 6:8 ‘that He has shown us old man what is good. What does the Lord require of you? Well that is very simple, to act justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.’ Heavenly Father, I ask that You would give us these things today, that we may carry on business in the appropriate fashion and all for Your glory and for Your honor. I ask it in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Leutheuser, Chirkun, Cochran, Crawford, Ellison, Faris, Gay-Dagnogo, Geiss, Greig, Howrylak, Hughes, Jones, Kahle, Kelly, Kesto, Lauwers, Rabhi, Rendon, Singh, Sowerby, Wittenberg and Yanez offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 120.

A resolution to declare June 19-25, 2017, as Pollinator Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Pollinating animals are essential parts of our ecosystem and a critical component to our planet’s food security; and

Whereas, Farmers depend on pollinator species such as honey bees, butterflies, birds, and bats to successfully produce approximately one-third of all agricultural output in the United States and 50 percent of Michigan’s agricultural output; and

Whereas; Pollinator loss poses a significant threat to United States agriculture and the ability of our farmers and rural gardeners to feed both themselves and a growing world population; and

Whereas, Urban and rural beekeepers play an important role in state and federal agricultural production and the preservation of honey bees which have seen their natural numbers decline to near crisis levels in recent years due to a combination of factors; and

Whereas, Michigan is a leader in honey production and many pollinator-dependent crops including apples, cranberries, blueberries, and cherries. Agriculture is a key driver of not just Michigan’s economy, agritourism, and farm-to-table industries, but also rural economies across the United States; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan recognizes the serious threats posed by pollinator loss and the key role state stakeholders play in providing guidance on best apiary management and stewardship practices, proper use of pesticide products, and technical assistance to farmers and other private landowners; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 19-25, 2017, as Pollinator Week in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That we encourage all citizens to build support for protecting and sustaining pollinators through increased awareness and the implementation of pollinator-friendly best practices that enhance their habitat and strengthen their numbers. We highlight the importance of pollinators, stress the negative ramifications of continued pollinator loss, and encourage the awareness and use of pollinator best practices.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Liberati, Chirkun, Clemente, Cochran, Crawford, Ellison, Faris, Gay-Dagnogo, Geiss, Greig, Howrylak, Hughes, Jones, Kahle, Kelly, Kesto, Pagan, Rabhi, Rendon, Sabo, Schor, Singh, Sneller, Sowerby, Wittenberg and Yanez offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 121.

A resolution to declare July 22, 2017, as Fragile X Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Fragile X is the most common inherited cause of developmental disability, cognitive impairment, and autism affecting people of every race, income level, and nationality; and

Whereas, Nearly 1.5 million Americans are living with the health impacts of a Fragile X mutation; and

Whereas, One in every 150 women and 1 in 400 men are carriers of a Fragile X mutation and can pass the mutation to their offspring; and

Whereas, One in every 4,000 male and 1 in every 8,000 female children are born with the Fragile X Syndrome and typically require a lifetime of special care at a cost of over $2,000,000; and

Whereas, Fragile X remains frequently undiagnosed due to the lack of awareness about the condition, even within the medical community; and

Whereas, The genetic mutation causing Fragile X has been studied and is easily identified by testing; and

Whereas, Early intervention and therapy is necessary to provide the most opportunity for developing a full range of skills and behavior; and

Whereas, The Fragile X protein also plays a critical role in normal brain function and in other neuropsychiatric conditions including autism, schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, clinical depression, and other forms of X-linked cognitive impairment; and

Whereas, The study of Fragile X provides a unique research opportunity for advancing the understanding of these other neuropsychiatric conditions; and

Whereas, With concerted research efforts, a targeted treatment for Fragile X will likely be developed; and

Whereas, Fragile X research has been vastly underfunded despite the prevalence of the condition, the great potential for the development of targeted treatments, and the significance that Fragile X research has for related disorders; and

Whereas, The U.S. Congress has designated July 22 as National Fragile X Awareness Day; and

Whereas, The Michigan House of Representatives as an institution and members of the Michigan Legislature as individuals are in unique positions to help raise public awareness about the need for increased funding for research, early diagnosis, and treatment for the condition known as Fragile X; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare July 22, 2017, as Fragile X Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Nearly 1.5 million Americans are living with the health impacts of a Fragile X mutation; and

Whereas, One in every 151 women and 1 in 468 men are carriers of a Fragile X mutation and can pass the mutation to their offspring; and

Whereas, One in every 4,000 male and 1 in every 6,000 female children are born with the Fragile X Syndrome and typically require a lifetime of special care which could cost over $2,000,000; and

Whereas, Fragile X remains frequently undiagnosed until puberty; and

Whereas, The genetic mutation causing Fragile X has been studied and is easily identified by testing; and

Whereas, Early intervention and therapy is necessary to provide the most opportunity for developing a full range of skills and behavior; and

Whereas, The Fragile X protein also plays a critical role in normal brain function and in other neuropsychiatric conditions including autism, schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, clinical depression, and other forms of X-linked cognitive impairment; and

Whereas, The study of Fragile X provides a unique research opportunity for advancing the understanding of these other neuropsychiatric conditions; and

House Resolution No. 122.

A resolution to declare June 27, 2017, as Post Traumatic Stress Injury Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces, who proudly serve the United States, risk their lives to protect the freedom of the United States and deserve the investment of every possible resource to ensure their lasting physical, mental, and emotional well-being; and

Whereas, More than 2,000,000 United States service members have deployed as part of overseas contingency operations since the events of September 11, 2001; and

Whereas, The military has sustained an operational tempo for a period of time unprecedented in the history of the United States, with many service members deploying multiple times to combat zones, placing them at high risk of post-traumatic stress injury (PTSI); and

Whereas, It is expected that 10,000 veterans will return to the state of Michigan every year for the next three to five years after spending a significant amount of time in combat environments, exposing thousands of soldiers to traumatic life threatening events; and

Whereas, The Department of Veterans Affairs reports that in fiscal year 2012, more than 500,000 veterans from all wars who sought care at a Department of Veterans Affairs medical center received treatment for PTSI; and

Whereas, PTSI significantly increases the risk of depression, suicide, and drug and alcohol related disorders and deaths; and

Whereas, The Department of Defense and the United States Department of Veterans Affairs have made significant advances in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of PTSI and its symptoms. However, many challenges remain; and

Whereas, The establishment of a Michigan Post Traumatic Stress Injury Awareness Day will raise public awareness about issues related to PTSI; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 27, 2017, as Post Traumatic Stress Injury Awareness Day in the state of Michigan. We urge the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency and the Adjutant General to continue working to educate service members, veterans, the families of service members and veterans, and the public about the causes, symptoms, and treatment of post-traumatic stress injury; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor of the State of Michigan.

House Resolution No. 123.

A resolution to declare June 2017 as Alzheimer’s Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Alzheimer’s disease, a progressive neurodegenerative brain disorder, tragically robs individuals of their memories and leads to progressive mental and physical impairments; and

Whereas, There are no known treatments to prevent, cure, or even delay the onset or slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease; and

Whereas, An estimated 5.3 million people aged 65 and over have Alzheimer’s disease and another 200,000 people under age 65 have younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease; and

Whereas, In Michigan, there are an estimated 180,000 people living with Alzheimer’s today; and

Whereas, Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and the fifth leading cause among the elderly; and

In Michigan, 511,000 family members and friends cared for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, providing 582 million hours of unpaid care, with the annual value of this caregiving totaling $7,361,000,000; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan recognizes the efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association to raise funds and promote awareness to fight Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, thereby improving the quality of human life for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers; and

Whereas, The month of June 2017 has been declared Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month to help spread global awareness of the Alzheimer’s Association’s vision of imagining a world without Alzheimer’s disease; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 2017 as Alzheimer’s Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
