Rev. Drew Mills, Lead Pastor of Lakeport Wesleyan Church, offered the following invocation:
“All powerful and loving God, we thank You for the opportunity to serve You today, in the service of all people in the state of Michigan. We humbly ask that You come alongside each of these legislators and those in their service. May they sense Your presence and Your guiding hand as they seek the direction and good governance of our citizens.
We humbly ask that You strengthen them by Your grace. May they continue selflessly in the fulfillment of their duties. May they vigorously tend to the constituencies that they represent. May they be fair and attentive in their deliberations with their fellow representatives. And while mindful of particular interests, may they also seek to benefit all people of the state of Michigan.
We are reminded that we are so small and God, You are so big. Our problems are daunting, and our responsibilities are many. But we look to You today, to Your principles and to Your goodness, that we could be everything You designed for us to be, that we could do everything You planned for us to do.
Today, may every decision made, every plan contemplated, be covered by Your grace and be inspired from Heaven. Change us; change our minds and our hearts that we may change our destiny and the destiny of others both here and around the world.
May all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory.
In the name of Jesus, Who gives us redemption, forgiveness, new life and hope, Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Camilleri, Chang, Pagan, Clemente, Liberati, Geiss, Brinks, Guerra, Greig, Yancey, Neeley, Gay-Dagnogo, Garrett, Scott, Santana, Robinson, Lasinski, Faris, Singh, Cambensy, Sabo, Hammoud, Love, Canfield, Cochran, Elder, Green, Howrylak, Hughes, Phelps, Sneller and Sowerby offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 264.
A resolution to honor the memory of Elizabeth Denison Forth.
Whereas, Elizabeth Denison Forth was the first African American female landowner in the state of Michigan and generously endowed St. James Episcopal Church in Grosse Ile Township; and
Whereas, Elizabeth (Lisette) Denison was born a slave in 1786 on the estate of William Tucker in Macomb County, the second of six children to Peter and Hannah Denison; and
Whereas, Lisette Denison and her brother escaped to Canada shortly after 1807 and both returned to Detroit around 1815 as free people. Denison then worked for Solomon Sibley as a domestic servant, investing her pay in land, specifically four lots in Pontiac totaling 48.5 acres. This made her the first African American female landowner in Michigan. The property is currently part of Oak Hill Cemetery, and a State of Michigan historical marker commemorates her ownership; and
Whereas, Lisette married Scipio Forth in 1827 and in 1831 gained employment with Major John Biddle. Throughout this time Mrs. Denison Forth continued to invest, including buying stock in a steamboat, bank, and a lot in Detroit in 1837. By 1854, she had purchased her own home, located at what is currently 328 Macomb Street and is a Michigan Historic Site; and
Whereas, When Mrs. Denison Forth died on August 7, 1866, she had willed a portion of her estate to be used for the construction of a church. Her contribution provided the bulk of the funds for St. James Episcopal Church on Grosse Ile, with architect Gordon W. Lloyd hired to design the structure. Construction began in 1867 and was completed the following year. The church’s red doors are dedicated to Mrs. Lisette Forth’s memory and a State of Michigan historical marker commemorates both the church and herself; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor the memory of Elizabeth Denison Forth; and be it further
Resolved, That Elizabeth Denison Forth’s legacy inspire others and remind us of the important achievements she contributed to Michigan and to the African American community.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Commerce and Trade.
Reps. Cochran, Allor, Bizon, Canfield, Crawford, Elder, Faris, Geiss, Green, Greig, Hammoud, Howrylak, Hughes, Lasinski, Liberati, Maturen, Phelps, Sneller and Sowerby offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 265.
A resolution to declare March 2018 as Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Nationally, March has long been recognized as Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in an effort to raise public awareness about the importance of early screening and detection; and
Whereas, Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men and women combined in the United States. This year, it is estimated 2,230 Michiganders will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer and approximately 1,670 more will die from it; and
Whereas, Colorectal cancer is one of the most highly preventable forms of cancer because routine screening can find polyps that can be removed before becoming cancerous. When detected early, the five-year survival rate for colorectal cancer is 90 percent. It is estimated that 7,376 new cases and 5,406 deaths would be avoided by 2030 if 80 percent of age-eligible Michiganders were up-to-date with their colorectal cancer screening. Educational efforts can help provide information to the public on methods of prevention and screening, as well as about symptoms for early detection; therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2018 as Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We urge all Michiganders to use this month as an opportunity to spread awareness about the importance of colorectal screening, prevention, and treatment.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Yancey, Greig, Brinks, Guerra, Phelps, Pagan, Garrett, Cambensy, Lasinski, Greimel, Rabhi, Sowerby, Geiss, Wittenberg, Santana, Scott, Green, Yanez, Sabo, Chang, LaSata, Camilleri, Moss, Peterson, Cochran, Elder, Liberati, Hammoud, Clemente, Singh, Jones, Hoadley, Calley, Kosowski, Dianda, Hoitenga, Whiteford, Faris, Neeley, Zemke, Love, Canfield, Crawford, Howrylak, Hughes, Maturen and Sneller offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 266.
A resolution to declare March 2018 as Women’s History Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Michigan women of every race, class, and ethnic background have made historic contributions to the growth and strength of Michigan in countless recorded and unrecorded ways; and
Whereas, Michigan women have played and continue to play a critical economic, cultural, and social role in every sphere of the life of Michigan by constituting a significant portion of the labor force working inside and outside of the home; and
Whereas, Accomplished women in Michigan such as Cora Reynolds Anderson, Lorraine Beebe, Cora Mae Brown, Anna Clemenc, Mary Stallings Coleman, Daisy Elliott, Betty Ford, Martha Griffiths, Marie-Therese Guyon-Cadillac, Erma Henderson, Mildred Jeffrey, Rosa Parks, Elly Peterson, Dorothy Comstock Riley, Anna Howard Shaw, Lucinda Stone, and Sojourner Truth deserve more recognition; and
Whereas, Michigan women have played a unique role throughout the history of Michigan by providing the majority of the volunteer labor force of Michigan; and
Whereas, Michigan women were particularly important in the establishment of early charitable, philanthropic, and cultural institutions in Michigan; and
Whereas, Michigan women of every race, class, and ethnic background served as early leaders in the forefront of every major progressive social change movement. Michigan women have been leaders not only in securing their own rights of suffrage and equal opportunity, but also in the abolitionist movement, the emancipation movement, the industrial labor movement, the civil rights movement, the peace movement, and other movements which created a more fair and just society for all; and
Whereas, The population of Michigan is fifty-one percent women. Women compose twenty-five percent of the Michigan Legislature. The percentage of women legislators in the House of Representatives is thirty percent and the percentage of women legislators in the Senate is eleven percent; and
Whereas, Despite these contributions, the role of Michigan women in history has been consistently overlooked and undervalued in the literature, teaching, and study of Michigan history; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2018 as Women’s History Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Sheppard, Canfield, Cochran, Crawford, Elder, Faris, Geiss, Green, Greig, Liberati, Marino, Maturen, Phelps and Sneller offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 267.
A resolution to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act.
Whereas, The Fair Housing Act protects people from discrimination when they are renting, buying, or securing financing for any housing by providing that a person may not be discriminated against because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, or presence of children; and
Whereas, Congress passed the Fair Housing Act in April 1968 and it was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on April 11, 1968; and
Whereas, The Fair Housing Act was signed into law at an important cultural turning point in America after decades of civil unrest, racial zoning, and court sanctioned deed discrimination based on race, national origin, and religion. The legislation states “It is the policy of the United States to provide, within constitutional limitations, for fair housing throughout the United States.” and was an important step in prohibiting such discrimination; and
Whereas, In 1975, the National Association of Realtors adopted an agreement with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to promote fair housing, educate members regarding their rights and obligations under the Fair Housing Act, develop and recommend fair housing procedures for members, and participate in community based fair housing activities; and
Whereas, In 1988, the National Association of Realtors supported expanding the Fair Housing Act to prohibit discrimination based on familial status and handicap or disability; and
Whereas, Fair and affordable housing is vital to the success of our growing state, and it is the responsibility of government agencies, the Legislature, and industry leaders to promote, educate, and participate in fair housing practices; and
Whereas, As an industry leader, Michigan Realtors® is committed to combating housing discrimination and pledges to give equal professional services to any person regardless of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity; and
Whereas, The health, education, and economic opportunities of Michigan families are directly impacted by where they live. Discriminatory housing practices create racial, social, and economic divides in our communities that inhibit the growth of our citizens; and
Whereas, Diversity creates stronger communities and provides Michigan citizens the best opportunity to achieve the American dream and fair housing plays an integral role in fostering such communities; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate 50th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act. We support and encourage fair housing policies throughout the state and recognize the Michigan Realtors as a partner in combating housing discrimination.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Regulatory Reform.
Reps. Tedder, Allor, Bizon, Canfield, Cochran, Cox, Crawford, Elder, Faris, Geiss, Green, Greig, Hammoud, Howrylak, Hughes, Lasinski, Liberati, Marino, Maturen, Phelps and Sneller offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 268.
A resolution to declare March 8, 2018, as Rare Disease Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, There are nearly 7,000 diseases and conditions considered rare (each affecting fewer than 200,000 Americans) in the United States, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH); and
Whereas, While each of these diseases may affect small numbers of people, rare diseases as a group affect almost 30 million Americans; and
Whereas, Many rare diseases are serious and depilating conditions that have a significant impact on the lives of those affected, we believe this resolution can raise awareness and save lives; and
Whereas, While the public is familiar with some rare diseases such as Lou Gehrig’s disease and sympathetic to those affected, many patients and families affected by less widely known rare disorders bear a large share of the burden of funding research and raising awareness to support the search for treatments; and
Whereas, Thousands of residents in Michigan are among those affected by rare diseases since nearly one in ten Americans has a rare disease; and
Whereas, The National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) is organizing a nationwide observance of Rare Disease Awareness Day on March 8, 2018; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 8, 2018, as Rare Disease Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Tedder, Allor, Bizon, Canfield, Cochran, Crawford, Elder, Faris, Green, Greig, Hammoud, Howrylak, Hughes, Lasinski, Liberati, Marino, Maturen, Phelps and Sneller offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 269.
A resolution to declare March 2018 as Amyloidosis Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Amyloidosis, a rare disease of which there are several types, one of which is a blood disorder, another that is commonly inherited, and one seen mainly in elderly gentleman. This combination of all types of amyloidosis is diagnosed in approximately 7,000 people each year in the United States; and
Whereas, An abnormal protein either produced in the bone marrow or liver travels through the blood stream depositing amyloid in various organs, individually or in combination, causing organs to fail over time; and
Whereas, The medial length of survival for an amyloidosis patient without treatment is less than three years. Many patients go undiagnosed every year. We believe this resolution can raise awareness and save lives; and
Whereas, There have been advances in the treatment of amyloidosis that affords that life expectancy is extended, but currently there are no drugs approved for the treatment of amyloidosis; and
Whereas, The early diagnosis of amyloidosis in conjunction with prompt treatments not only improves the quality of life, but extends life expectancy; and
Whereas, There are a limited number of amyloidosis treatment centers in the United States. Michigan is fortunate to have one at the Karmanos Cancer Center in Detroit; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2018 as Amyloidosis Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.

Rep. Love, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
While I don’t ever want to see drugs in the hands of children the fact is ‘whip-its’ are not by themselves a drug. I remember when airplane glue and huffing paint were the pseudo drugs of choice. Today ‘whip-its’ have replaced them, tomorrow who knows what the new way to get high will be. I worry this is the start of a slippery-slope where we begin to restrict anything and everything that someone is able to use to get high. Will we vote to restrict the sale of cleaning supplies to people under the age of 18 next?
I’m further concerned that we are creating a new black market for the sale of ‘whip-its’ to teenagers. These bills do little to stop someone of legal age from buying and reselling ‘whip-its’ to teens at a markup. And there’s nothing illegal about an 18 year old with a backpack full of ‘whip its’ selling it. We’re going to create a whole new class of dealers on our streets pushing a product which is legal for them to carry. I further worry we’ll only succeed in sending kids off to find more dangerous items to use to get a high.”

Today ‘whip-its’ have replaced them, tomorrow who knows what the new way to get high will be. I worry this is the start of a slippery-slope where we begin to restrict anything and everything that someone is able to use to get high. Will we vote to restrict the sale of cleaning supplies to people under the age of 18 next?
I’m further concerned that we are creating a new black market for the sale of ‘whip-its’ to teenagers. These bills do little to stop someone of legal age from buying and reselling ‘whip-its’ to teens at a markup. And there’s nothing illegal about an 18 year old with a backpack full of ‘whip its’ selling it. We’re going to create a whole new class of dealers on our streets pushing a product which is legal for them to carry. I further worry we’ll only succeed in sending kids off to find more dangerous items to use to get a high.”
