Panditji Srihari Kadambi, Priest of Bharatiya Temple of Lansing in Haslett, offered the following invocation:

 

“Agni, showerer (of benefits), Thou Who art the Lord, Thou verily combinest with all creatures, Thou art kindled upon the footmark of Ila, bring unto us riches.

Go together, speak together, know your minds to be functioning together from a common source, in same manner as the impulses of creative intelligence, in the beginning, remain together united near the source.

Integrated is the expression of knowledge, an assembly is significant in unity, united are their minds while full of desires. For you I make use of the integrated expression of knowledge.

United be your purpose, harmonious be your feelings, collected be your mind, in the same way as all the various aspects of the universe exist in togetherness, wholeness.

Aum. Let us be together, let us eat together, let us be vital together; let us be radiating truth, radiating the light of life; never shall we denounce anyone, never entertain negativity.

Aum Peace! Peace! Peace!

Aum! O gods, with our ears may we hear that which is auspicious; Adorable Ones, with our eyes may we see that which is auspicious; while praising the gods with steady limbs, may we enjoy the life that is allotted by the gods.

May Indra of ancient fame be auspicious to us; may Pusan and the Visva-Devas be propitious to us; may Tarksya, of unhampered movement, be well disposed towards us; may Brihaspati ensure our welfare.

Aum! Peace! Peace! Peace!”

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Lower, Maddock, Kahle, Green, Frederick, Steven Johnson, Rendon, Hornberger, Bollin, VanSingel, Hoitenga, Lightner, Crawford, Vaupel, Brann, Calley, Hernandez, Eisen, Wendzel, Paquette, Slagh, Albert, Huizenga, Farrington, Alexander, Filler, Schroeder, Wentworth, Sheppard, Leutheuser, Afendoulis, Meerman and Whiteford offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 23.

A resolution to declare this legislative body’s policy to protect life by preserving legal protections for unborn children under Michigan law and to recognize that any abortion is a tragic loss of human life.

Whereas, A fundamental role of government is to protect the rights of citizens as articulated by Thomas Jefferson, who declared, “The care of human life and happiness and not their destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good government”; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan retains a compelling interest in protecting the lives of unborn children and has a long and unbroken history of continuously prohibiting abortion since 1846; and

Whereas, Advances in medical knowledge and technology have revealed, to medical professionals and laymen alike, the rapid and intricate development of each human being at the earliest stages. The disciplines of both science and medicine have definitively established that each individual, human life begins when fertilization occurs, which is a factual determination and not a matter of opinion or religious belief; and

Whereas, There is no known medical reason for an unborn baby to be killed in the third trimester of gestation. Circumstances may arise where emergency delivery of the child must take place. However, it is never necessary, medically or otherwise, to kill a viable baby before or during the course of this emergency delivery or after the child is born; and

Whereas, There have been public attempts by members of our society to celebrate the ending of human life in the form of abortions. These celebrations are repugnant to a civilized society and stand in direct conflict with human decency; and

Whereas, The ending of a human life in the form of abortion is not birth control, nor is it health care. No matter the circumstances, when an abortion is performed, a human life has ended who is no different in his or her nature than every born citizen of this state. As such, this occurrence is a cause for sadness and solemn reflection, never celebration; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we declare it is this legislative body’s policy, and within the rights of this state and its people, to protect life by preserving legal protection for unborn children under Michigan law; and be it further

Resolved, That this legislative body recognizes abortion as a loss of human life and that such occurrences are never a cause for celebration and are always a cause for sadness and solemn reflection.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

Rep. Afendoulis offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 24.

A resolution to declare February 21, 2019, as Conductive Education Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Conductive Education (CE) was developed over seventy years ago in Hungary by Dr. András Petö. CE is a unique teaching system that maximizes the independence and mobility of children and adults with neuromotor disabilities, such as stroke survivors and those with cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, acquired brain injuries, Parkinson’s disease, and spina bifida; and

Whereas, CE operates from a core belief in neuroplasticity, the lifelong ability of the brain to reorganize neural pathways based on new experiences, and on the premise that no matter how severe the disability, people can learn and improve when they are motivated; and

Whereas, CE has the potential to make a significant, life-changing impact on the mobility and independence of close to 9 million people in the United States and Canada. CE helps individuals learn their way to independence; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 21, 2019, as Conductive Education Day in the state of Michigan. We encourage support for this important program that increases the independence of people with disabilities in our community; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Association for Conductive Education in North America with our highest esteem.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

THIS RESOLUTION IS OFFERED TO COMPLY WITH ARTICLE III, SECTION 8 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN OF 1963

 

Rep. Cole offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 25.

A resolution to request an opinion of the Supreme Court of the state of Michigan pursuant to Article III, Section 8 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963.

Whereas, On July 30, 2018, the Department of State submitted to the Michigan Legislature a legislative initiative petition, an initiation of legislation to enact the “Earned Sick Time Act,” for consideration under Article II, Section 9 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963; and

Whereas, On August 27, 2018, the Department of State submitted to the Michigan Legislature a legislative initiative petition, an initiation of legislation to enact the “Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act,” for consideration under Article II, Section 9 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963; and

Whereas, On September 5, 2018, the Senate and House of Representatives adopted the legislative initiative petition to enact into law the “Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act,” which was subsequently assigned Public Act 337 of 2018, and will not take effect until March 29, 2019; and

Whereas, On September 5, 2018, the Senate and House of Representatives adopted the legislative initiative petition to enact into law the “Earned Sick Time Act,” which was subsequently assigned Public Act 338 of 2018, and will not take effect until March 29, 2019; and

Whereas, On November 8, 2018, Senate Bill No. 1171 was introduced to amend the “Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act” created under Public Act 337 of 2018; and

Whereas, On November 8, 2018, Senate Bill No. 1175 was introduced to amend the “Earned Sick Time Act” created under Public Act 338 of 2018; and

Whereas, On February 13, 2019, a request for a formal opinion was submitted to the Attorney General regarding the constitutionality of Public Act 368 of 2018 and Public Act 369 of 2018, which amended legislative initiative petitions enacted by the Legislature during the same legislative session; and

Whereas, The House of Representatives has determined that important questions of law exist with respect to the constitutionality of Public Act 368 of 2018 and Public Act 369 of 2018; and

Whereas, Article III, Section 8 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 states:

Either house of the legislature or the governor may request the opinion of the supreme court on important questions of law upon solemn occasions as to the constitutionality of legislation after it has been enacted into law but before its effective date.

; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the House of Representatives requests the Supreme Court of the state of Michigan issue an opinion, pursuant to Article III, Section 8 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963, on the following important questions of law pertaining to Public Act 368 of 2018 and Public Act 369 of 2018:

1. Does Article II, Section 9 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 permit the Legislature to enact an initiative petition into law and then subsequently amend that law during the same legislative session?

2. Were Public Act 368 of 2018 and Public Act 369 of 2018 enacted in accordance with Article II, Section 9 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963?

; and be it further

Resolved, That the Speaker is authorized to engage counsel in furtherance of this request for an opinion from the Supreme Court of the state of Michigan and take all necessary steps incidental thereto; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Supreme Court of the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Pursuant to Article V, Section 2 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963, the Governor may make changes in the organization of the executive branch or in the assignment of functions among its units which she considers necessary for efficient administration unless the Legislature disapproves; and

Whereas, On February 4, 2019, Governor Gretchen Whitmer issued Executive Order No. 2019-02 to, in part, establish the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; prescribe for the administration of the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; establish the Michigan Office of Administrative Hearings and Rules; and make transfers from the Department of Environmental Quality, Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Department of Natural Resources, and Department of Technology, Management and Budget; and

Whereas, On February 14, 2019, the Legislature adopted House Concurrent Resolution No. 1 to disapprove Executive Order No. 2019-02 because it sought to abolish legislatively created entities in a manner inconsistent with the intention of the Legislature; and

Whereas, The Governor has expressed a similar desire to protect the environment and improve access to safe, clean drinking water by, in part, reorganizing state government; now, therefore, be it
