Rev. Dr. Don E. Galardi, Associate Pastor of Community Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Owosso, offered the following invocation:
“I humbly lift up this prayer in behalf of all the elected officials that make up this august body. Lord, everyone who is in a leadership position needs wisdom to oversee and administrate those whom they are responsible for. Parents need insight to govern their children while law enforcement needs wisdom to maintain the laws of the land. Church leaders need discernment in caring for parishioners, and elected officials need perceptiveness and wisdom to govern the citizens who reside in their state. Consequently, I pray for the Holy Spirit’s guidance that each representative gathered here may be diligent listeners as well as articulate communicators in administrating the agenda items for this particular day.
Making decisions that affect the people of this great state is no small task. So help each of them to be thoughtful and long-suffering with those who hold counter viewpoints. May they strive for unity while exercising their office under Your sovereign authority. Finally, may they have joy in their labor.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

The Speaker called Associate Speaker Pro Tempore Tedder to the Chair.
Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Guerra, Neeley, Moss, Geiss, Sabo, Chirkun, Cochran, Peterson, Love, Hoadley, Yanez, Green, Sneller, Ellison, Greimel, Durhal, Wittenberg, Cambensy, LaGrand, Dianda, Pagan, Gay-Dagnogo, Singh, Brinks, Chang, Yancey, Greig, Phelps, Camilleri, Sowerby, Faris, Jones, Kosowski, Clemente, Elder, Howrylak, Kahle, Liberati, Maturen and Zemke offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 319.
A resolution to declare April 28, 2018, as Workers’ Memorial Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Every year on April 28, communities and worksites around the world honor friends, family members, and colleagues who have been killed or injured on the job; and
Whereas, The Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated that 5,190 workers were killed by traumatic injuries. On average, 150 workers were killed on the job every day; and
Whereas, In 2016, 162 workers were lost through fatal workplace accidents in Michigan; and
Whereas, It is appropriate to honor the memory of the courageous and dedicated members of Michigan’s labor force who have been injured or disabled or have died as a result of workplace accidents; and
Whereas, We remember those who have died in workplace catastrophes, suffered occupational-related diseases, or have been injured due to dangerous conditions; and
Whereas, Recognition of the integrity of Michigan’s work force and its achievements on behalf of the economic growth of our state is necessary; and
Whereas, The Michigan House of Representatives wishes to pay tribute to the workers who have died or been injured or disabled in workplace accidents. We honor the contributions of Michigan’s work force and call for increased workplace safety; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 28, 2018, as Workers’ Memorial Day in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Yaroch, Allor, Canfield, Chirkun, Clemente, Cochran, Crawford, Ellison, Faris, Gay-Dagnogo, Greig, Howrylak, Jones, Kahle, Liberati, Love, Maturen, Sabo, Sneller, Sowerby, Webber, Wittenberg, Yanez and Zemke offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 320.
A resolution to declare April 26, 2018, as Stop the Bleed Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The “Stop the Bleed” campaign is a national awareness effort to educate people about the importance of bleeding control measures, encourage all Michigan citizens to participate in the initiative, and learn more about the importance of bleeding-control measures; and
Whereas, Each year, more than 180,000 people die from traumatic injuries sustained as a result of events including motor vehicle crashes, falls, industrial and farm accidents, natural disasters, and tragic mass casualty events; and
Whereas, Trauma is the leading cause of death in the United States for individuals under age 44 and the fourth leading cause of death overall; and
Whereas, The most common preventable cause of death in these situations is the loss of too much blood in the minutes before trained immediate responders arrive; and
Whereas, Bleeding control is best performed with use of pressure or tourniquets within the initial moments of trauma and anyone can be trained to act as an immediate responder to stop a life-threatening hemorrhage. Military experience has proven that bleeding control techniques result in reduced rates of death from a hemorrhage; and
Whereas, The “Stop the Bleed” campaign is a call-to-action movement intended to cultivate grassroots efforts that encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives; and
Whereas, Providing Michigan citizens with the best chance of survival includes educating them with the knowledge and skills to perform immediate bleeding control and encouraging public places to equip bleeding control kits; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 26, 2018, as Stop the Bleed Day in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Howrylak, Maturen, Whiteford, Allor, Chirkun, Clemente, Cochran, Crawford, Elder, Ellison, Gay-Dagnogo, Greig, Greimel, Jones, Kahle, Moss, Sabo, Sneller, Sowerby, Webber, Wittenberg, Yanez and Zemke offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 321.
A resolution to declare April 22-29, 2018, as Black April Memorial Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, April 30, 2018, marks the 43nd anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War and the start of the eventual exodus of several million Vietnamese out of Vietnam after South Vietnam’s capital of Saigon fell to the communists on April 30, 1975; and
Whereas, For many Vietnam and Vietnam-era veterans who were directly involved in the war and Vietnamese‑Americans who have settled in the United States, the Vietnam War was a tragedy full of great suffering and the loss of American, Vietnamese, and Southeast Asian lives; and
Whereas, Over 58,000 people were killed and 304,000 were wounded out of the 2.59 million Americans who served in the Vietnam War. One out of every ten Americans who served in Vietnam became a casualty of war; and
Whereas, South Vietnamese armed forces lost 275,000 soldiers and many more wounded along with an unknown number of Vietnamese civilian casualties; and
Whereas, During the American evacuation of Saigon, the first wave of Vietnamese refugees, 135,000 strong, mostly military officers and their families, took temporary shelter through several international refugee camps at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, Fort Chaffee in Arkansas, and Indiantown Gap in Pennsylvania; and
Whereas, Starting in 1977, and lasting through the mid-1980s, a second wave of Vietnamese refugees comprised mostly of “boat people” began leaving Vietnam. Seeing no future under communism, nearly 800,000 boat people risked their lives in small, dangerous boats to travel to resettlement camps in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines before eventually being resettled in the United States. The Red Cross estimated that during that time, at least 300,000 Vietnamese died on the high seas while trying to escape communism; and
Whereas, After 1985, a third wave of Vietnamese refugees came to the United States under the Orderly Departure Program. In 1988, Congress passed the Operation Homecoming Act, a program allowing approximately 80,000 Amerasian children (offspring of GI fathers and Vietnamese mothers) to come to America; and
Whereas, By 1990, the fourth wave of Vietnamese refugees began arriving in the United States under the Humanitarian Operation and today, more than 1.7 million Vietnamese immigrants reside in the United States; and
Whereas, Studies using census data show that foreign-born Vietnamese entering the United States in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, have seen an increase in terms of English proficiency, proportion of college graduates, the number of owner-occupied housing, family median income, and naturalization; and
Whereas, Over the years, Vietnamese immigrants have overcome social, economic, and language barriers of unforeseen magnitude to grow and become the most assimilated along civic dimensions of any large group in America; and
Whereas, Through emphasis on intense study, Vietnamese-Americans have reached the pinnacles of American success in a variety of fields including business and entrepreneurship, science and technology, space travel, medicine, the executive branch of the United States government, politics, the United States military, the United States judicial system, professional sports, and, most recently, cultural icon status in cooking, modeling, acting, and comedy; and
Whereas, In order to serve their community and prosper in America, Vietnamese Americans formed well-established and thriving Vietnamese-American commercial districts throughout the United States, including an enclave in southeast Oakland County and in west Michigan; and
Whereas, More than 17,000 Vietnamese now live in Michigan; and
Whereas, We must teach our children and future generations the important lessons from the Vietnam War, including how the plight of the Vietnamese refugees following the end of war serves as a powerful example of the values of freedom and democracy; and
Whereas, Refugees and immigrants from the former Republic of Vietnam who came to the United States and settled as free Vietnamese-Americans are honored and remembered for their sacrifices for freedom and human rights and for their ongoing contributions to our democratic society; and
Whereas, The Vietnamese Heritage and Freedom flag, which is yellow with three horizontal red stripes, is the only symbol that can unite most Vietnamese around the world and bring them together under the banner that symbolizes the aspiration for freedom and democracy in their homeland; and
Whereas, Although united in sorrow as they commemorate April 30, 2018, as Black April, an occasion to reflect on the sacrifices of the past, Vietnamese-American communities throughout Michigan consider Black April a memorial and remembrance of the resilience of the Vietnamese people; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 22-29, 2018, as Black April Memorial Week in the state of Michigan. We recognize this as a special time for Michiganians to honor the tragedy of the suffering and countless lives lost during the Vietnam War era and to pay tribute to those lives lost by affecting human rights and freedom to the people of Vietnam.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
