Pastor Jack Eggleston, Pastor of Unity Lutheran Church in Southgate, offered the following invocation:
“Mighty and merciful God, we believe that all are created equal with the rights for life, liberty and to pursue happiness. In the often difficult work we do together it can be easy even for us to forget the power that we hold.
Help us to use our power with ever greater wisdom, so that all in the state of Michigan might see that hope is greater than any fear, love is stronger than hate, and light is stronger than darkness.
Give us courage to hear every question and particularly those we would prefer not to hear, that each of us have new insight, that this body might see new vision.
The tasks are daunting but they are given to us. Place in our hearts vision to see the beauty of every person in this House. You expect great things. Together we can do them.
Let the people say AMEN!”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Miller, Howrylak and Kesto offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 223.
A resolution to declare January 16, 2018, as Religious Freedom Day in the state of Michigan
Whereas, The United States of America with its democratic system of representation is dependent upon the fundamental truths that all people are created equal and are endowed by the Creator with certain inalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; and
Whereas, Freedom of conscience has been highly valued in America since its earliest beginnings, not only by individuals seeking religious freedom in the American colonies but through colonial charters and laws; and
Whereas, Even with such an inspired beginning, some colonies sought religious uniformity and persecuted dissenters, driving them out to more tolerant colonies, such as Rhode Island, and leading to new colonies such as Pennsylvania in 1681, created as a refuge for persecuted Quakers; and
Whereas, Expanding on this effort, Thomas Jefferson penned his first draft of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom in 1777 to fully disestablish the Church of England, an effort that finally came to fruition on January 16, 1786; and
Whereas, Thomas Jefferson said of the First Amendment that it “guard[s] in the same sentence, and under the same words, the freedom of religion, of speech, and of the press; insomuch as that whatever violates either throws down the sanctuary which covers the others;” and
Whereas, A long line of presidents, from President George Washington to our current day have recognized the unique and foundational role of religious freedom; and
Whereas, For countless people of the United States, faith is an integral part of every aspect of daily life and is not limited to their homes, houses of worship, or doctrinal creeds; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 16, 2018, as Religious Freedom Day in the state of Michigan. We commemorate that great historical accomplishment that provided the heart of our First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. We encourage the citizens of our nation to pray in his and her own manner, seeking God’s blessings on our families and government officials for personal renewal, moral awakening, and a new spirit of harmony across our land; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge all Americans to join in observing this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
______
The Speaker Pro Tempore called Associate Speaker Pro Tempore Glenn to the Chair.
Reps. Rabhi and Moss offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 224.
A resolution calling on the United States Attorney General to respect the people of Michigan’s constitutionally-protected right to regulate marihuana at the state level, calling on the President of the United States to replace him if he is unwilling to fulfill this duty.
Whereas, The people of Michigan overwhelmingly support the legalization of marihuana for medical purposes under state law. More than 200,000 Michiganders rely on medical marihuana to treat debilitating conditions such as cancer, glaucoma, and epilepsy; and
Whereas, More than half of the states in the United States have, like Michigan, legalized marihuana for medical use. Furthermore, the recreational use of marijuana has been legalized in approximately nine states. Marihuana law and policy is best handled at the state level, where each state’s unique concerns and priorities can be addressed; and
Whereas, The President of the United States has repeatedly expressed that the decision of whether to legalize marihuana “should be a state issue”. In recognition of the wisdom of state-level regulation, Congress has barred the federal Department of Justice from using funds to interfere with state medical marihuana programs. The Department of Justice has also, until recently, followed a policy of respect for state marihuana law; and
Whereas, Deputy Attorney General James Cole issued a memorandum to all United States Attorneys on August 29, 2013 setting out marihuana enforcement priorities and stating that a robust system of state laws and regulations “may affirmatively address those priorities by, for example, implementing effective measures to prevent diversion of marijuana outside of the regulated system and to other states, prohibiting access to marijuana by minors, and replacing an illicit marijuana trade that funds criminal enterprises with a tightly regulated market in which revenues are tracked and accounted for. In those circumstances, consistent with the traditional allocation of federal-state efforts in this area, enforcement of state law by state and local law enforcement and regulatory bodies should remain the primary means of addressing marijuana-related activity”; and
Whereas, In defiance of Congress and the President of the United States, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, on January 4, 2018, rescinded the Cole memorandum and reversed longstanding Department of Justice policies of noninterference with state-regulated marihuana announcing a crusade against marihuana even where its medical or recreational use is sanctioned and regulated under state law; and
Whereas, This change in Department of Justice policy and practice infringes upon Michigan’s right to self-determination and endangers the ability of seriously ill Michiganders to access the medicine they need without fear of federal prosecution. Such interference is a waste of federal law enforcement resources that could be better directed to other priorities, and is based on mischaracterizations of the purported harms of marihuana use that are contradicted by the best available science; and
Whereas, In taking office, Attorney General Sessions swore to “support and defend” the United States Constitution and to “bear true faith and allegiance”. In attacking states’ discretion to set marihuana policy, Attorney General Sessions is ignoring the 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which states that “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people”; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we call upon the United States Attorney General to respect the people of Michigan’s constitutionally-protected right to regulate medical marihuana at the state level, and if he fails to do so, we call upon the President of the United States to replace him with a successor who will more faithfully fulfill this constitutional duty; 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 United States Department of Justice, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Law and Justice.
