Senator David Knezek of the 5th District offered the following invocation:

Today, we fix our gaze to the heavens in search of answers. We search for solace and comfort not only in each other, but in the great books of wisdom and the moral compasses that serve as the bedrock of our many faiths.

May we find strength in the sacred words of our Jewish brothers and sisters: “Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Ehad.” Sovereign of the universe, mercifully receive our prayer for our land and its government. Let Your blessing pour out upon this land and on all officials of this country who are occupied, in good faith, with the public needs. Instruct them from Your Torah’s laws and enable them to understand Your principles of justice so that peace, tranquility, happiness, and freedom might never turn away from our land.

May we find strength in the sacred words of our Christian brothers and sisters: Thanks be to God. Alleluia. “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”

May we find strength in the sacred words of our Muslim brothers and sisters: “Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim.” “Our Lord, condemn us not if we forget or fall into error. Our Lord, lay not on us a burden like that which you did lay on those before us. Our Lord, lay not on us a greater burden than what we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our protector. Help us against those who stand against faith.”

We ask that these sacred words provide us with the strength we need to persevere, neither as strangers nor enemies, but as people united in search of peace. It is times such as these that try our souls, yet let us always find serenity in that peace-loving people everywhere seek to make the world a better place.

May we find the strength to always strive to choose love over hate, justice over inequality, and peace over war. And let us attempt to leave in our posterity a world greater than that which we inherited. Amen.

The President, Lieutenant Governor Calley, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Resolutions

Senator Schuitmaker offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 45.

A resolution to observe Crime Victims’ Rights.

Whereas, Since 1985 the people of Michigan have had comprehensive laws to protect the rights of crime victims, and to help victims travel the difficult path from victim to survivor; and

Whereas, Though Michigan continues to make strides in reducing the crime rate, we still have far too many victims of crime. For over 40 years the research indicates that less than half of crimes are reported, and yet in 2015 Michigan families reported over 145,000 new victims of violent crime, and over a quarter million victims of other crimes; and

Whereas, We recognize that our response to crime victims plays an important role in their efforts to rebuild their lives following the offense. We all should strive to do what we can to respond to victims of crime with compassion and respect; and

Whereas, Crime victims possess the constitutional civil right to be treated with fairness and respect for their dignity and privacy throughout the criminal justice process. Our goal should be to adhere not only to the crime victim’s rights laws, but to the spirit of those laws as well; and

Whereas, The millions of Michigan citizens who have suffered a violation of their person, property, or trust deserve to be treated with dignity and respect by our criminal and juvenile justice systems and by society at-large; and

Whereas, The national theme for 2017 is “Strength. Resilience. Justice.” reminding us of the importance of the restoration of hope and quality of life for victims as they focus on their healing and recover; and

Whereas, The victim services community has worked diligently for decades to create an environment for victims that is safe, supportive, and effective; and

Whereas, Intervening early with services that support and empower victims provides a pathway to recovery from crime and abuse; and

Whereas, Serving victims and rebuilding their trust restores hope to victims and survivors, as well as their communities; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we hereby express our support of victim rights with a vigil on April 25, 2017, at the State Capitol and we reaffirm this state’s commitment to protecting the rights of crime victims, and addressing their needs throughout the remainder of the year.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,

Senator Kowall moved that the rule be suspended.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The resolution was adopted.

Senators Bieda, Brandenburg, Hansen, Hildenbrand, Hopgood, Hune, Jones, Knollenberg, Kowall, MacGregor, O’Brien, Pavlov, Proos, Rocca and Zorn were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.

Senator Schuitmaker asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Schuitmaker’s statement is as follows:

I rise today in support of Senate Resolution No. 45 which recognizes Crime Victims’ Rights Week in the state of Michigan. We have taken many strides in Michigan to reduce the crime rate, but we still have far too many victims in this state. Thousands of new crime victims are reported each year, but research consistently indicates that less than half of all crimes are reported. It is important to recognize that our response to crime victims plays a critical role in their effort to rebuild their lives. Each year, I speak to many victims and am moved by their stories and the hardships they have overcome. Sometimes, what remains is anger, shame, regret, and second-guessing of their actions. Anniversaries, holidays, celebrations, and events all take on new and painful associations. We must remember that they didn’t choose to be a victim. These are innocent people, just like you and I, who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and are now forced to face a new reality. We owe it to them to see that their voices are heard.

I would encourage all of you to join me tonight in the annual Crime Victims’ Rights Vigil here in the Capitol Rotunda. It’s co-hosted by Attorney General Bill Schuette, Senator Bieda, and myself. This event will honor and remember the victims and provide support to the loved ones of victims who are no longer with us. This event will begin at 6 p.m. All year long, but especially tonight, I think it is appropriate that we keep all victims of crime in our thoughts and prayers.

Senators Schmidt, Ananich, Shirkey, Emmons, Zorn, Schuitmaker, Stamas, Jones, Horn, Hertel, Pavlov, Hopgood and Hansen offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 46.

A resolution to recognize the 100th Anniversary of The Rotary Foundation.

Whereas, It is with great respect that the members of this legislative body are proud to join with the citizens of Michigan in celebrating the centennial of The Rotary Foundation; and

Whereas, Arch Klumph’s idea for an endowment fund dedicated to “doing good in the world” planted the seed of The Rotary Foundation in 1917; and

Whereas, The Rotary Foundation is a global network of 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who come together to make positive, lasting change in communities at home and abroad; and

Whereas, The motto of The Rotary Foundation is “Service Above Self” and their guiding principles have been the foundation of their values: service, fellowship, diversity, integrity, and leadership; and

Whereas, Rotary members believe that they have a shared responsibility to take action on our world’s most persistent issues; and

Whereas, More than 35,000 of The Rotary Foundation’s clubs work together to promote peace, fight disease, provide clean water, sanitation and hygiene, save mothers and children, support education, and grow local economies; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body recognize the 100th Anniversary of The Rotary Foundation; and be it further

Resolved, That we celebrate and remember all who have and are currently contributing to the success of The Rotary Foundation.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,

Senator Ananich offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 47.

A resolution to commemorate May 1, 2017, as Law Day.

Whereas, Law Day is an occasion of public acknowledgement of our nation’s and state of Michigan’s heritage of justice, liberty, and equality under the law; and

Whereas, The American justice system is charged with upholding and protecting the rights, as well as the freedom and justice, of all Americans; and

Whereas, Congress issued a joint resolution in 1961 declaring May 1 as Law Day, which is a national day to recognize and celebrate our justice system and the rule of law; and

Whereas, The Law Day 2017 theme, “The Fourteenth Amendment: Transforming American Democracy” recognizes the numerous contributions to American law and society of one of the most often cited constitutional enactments; and

Whereas, The Fourteenth Amendment in the nearly century and a half, that has elapsed since its ratification, has greatly expanded the constitutional protections available to all through its clauses guaranteeing due process and equal protections; and

Whereas, The Fourteenth Amendment constitutionally defined national citizenship for the first time and guaranteed that the privileges or immunities of United States citizenship would not be denied to any individual citizen; and

Whereas, The Fourteenth Amendment has served as the basis of and inspiration for landmark civil rights legislation and court decisions protecting and advancing the rights of Americans; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body commemorate May 1, 2017, as Law Day in the state of Michigan. We urge acknowledgement of the importance of our legal and judicial systems with appropriate ceremonies and activities, and to display the flag of the United States and the state of Michigan in support of this educational observance; and be it further

Resolved, That the citizens, schools, businesses, media, religious institutions, civic, and service organizations of the state of Michigan are encouraged to use this occasion to commemorate Law Day.
