Rev. Fr. Hrant Kevorkian, Pastor of St. Sarkis Armenian Apostolic Church in Dearborn, offered the following invocation:

 

“In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Almighty God, we ask You to guide our reflection, our action and all our endeavors. We also ask for Your guidance, especially in the deliberations and all decisions of this noble body, because strong, wise and visionary leadership is essential for the wellbeing of our state of Michigan and our nation. Give us Your wisdom, O Lord, to speak, do and think all which is good in Your sight, especially in all the decision we are about to make today for the benefit of our state and our nation.

We, Your humble servants, glorify and praise You for the great gift You have granted us in this great nation of freedom and faith. Founded by men and women of immense courage and deep faith, You have made the United States of America flourish and grow over the last 300 years, preserving it through Your grace and mercy. You have made it a safe haven of liberty for millions of men and women seeking refuge from tyrannical rulers, war-ravaged nations, and morally bankrupt and corrupt governments.

As we commemorate the 104th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, we remember today the hospitality of this great nation, which opened its doors to tens of thousands of Armenians fleeing the ravage of persecution, torture and genocide. They were welcomed into this society and given the gift of freedom, security and citizenship. Armenians became an integral part of this society and thrived here in the United States, giving back with thanksgiving some of what they had received. Many served as defenders of this nation in the armed forces and paid the ultimate price of freedom, falling in the battlefields around the world in order to defend the liberty of the freedom-loving people of our nation. Many Armenians contributed to the economic, scientific, technological and intellectual growth of this country in the fields of art and literature, politics and jurisprudence, engineering and architecture, literature and journalism, business and commerce, science and technology, photography and cinematography, and religion and education. Allow us, O Lord, to show our gratitude to America by continuing to be good and upstanding citizens, always prepared to do our share in the defense and cultivation of this great nation.

Today, with thanksgiving and praise, we ask You, O Lord, to bless this precious land of liberty and opportunity, the United States of America. We especially ask You to bless our President; the members of the cabinets and the advisors; the members of both houses of congress; the governors and legislatures of all states, especially our state of Michigan; all those who serve in the military or are in public service; and all the people of Michigan and in the United States, through whom the all-Holy Trinity is praised and glorified. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever, Amen.

Now let us all pray the Lord’s Prayer in his or her native language.

Our Father, Who art in heaven,

hallowed be Thy Name,

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those

who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the kingdom,

and the power, and the glory,

for ever and ever. Amen.”

The question being on agreeing to the title of the bill,

Rep. Cole moved to amend the title to read as follows:

A bill to amend 1978 PA 368, entitled “An act to protect and promote the public health; to codify, revise, consolidate, classify, and add to the laws relating to public health; to provide for the prevention and control of diseases and disabilities; to provide for the classification, administration, regulation, financing, and maintenance of personal, environmental, and other health services and activities; to create or continue, and prescribe the powers and duties of, departments, boards, commissions, councils, committees, task forces, and other agencies; to prescribe the powers and duties of governmental entities and officials; to regulate occupations, facilities, and agencies affecting the public health; to regulate health maintenance organizations and certain third party administrators and insurers; to provide for the imposition of a regulatory fee; to provide for the levy of taxes against certain health facilities or agencies; to promote the efficient and economical delivery of health care services, to provide for the appropriate utilization of health care facilities and services, and to provide for the closure of hospitals or consolidation of hospitals or services; to provide for the collection and use of data and information; to provide for the transfer of property; to provide certain immunity from liability; to regulate and prohibit the sale and offering for sale of drug paraphernalia under certain circumstances; to provide for the implementation of federal law; to provide for penalties and remedies; to provide for sanctions for violations of this act and local ordinances; to provide for an appropriation and supplements; to repeal certain acts and parts of acts; to repeal certain parts of this act; and to repeal certain parts of this act on specific dates,” (MCL 333.1101 to 333.25211) by adding section 7521a.

The motion prevailed.

The House agreed to the title as amended.

Rep. Cole moved that the bill be given immediate effect.

The motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor.

Rep. Chirkun, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted against Senate Bill 2 today because I believe that the Michigan Legislature is taking away a valuable law enforcement tool that helps to keeps our communities safe. I believe Senate Bill 2, and previous bills such as House Bill 4001 and 4002 could have significant unintended consequences that we need to consider very carefully before moving forward. More specifically, the bills, as currently written, still allows for broader forfeiture of property or money worth more than $50,000, which could result in drug proceeds being bundled in amounts less than $50,000 to avoid forfeiture. For example, after discussing this with my Police Chief, consider a raid on a drug house after a drug dealer had sold off his supply. Under the legislation, police wouldn’t be able to charge, because the drugs are gone. But police might know it is a drug house because of an informant buy, drug ledgers and even be able to show that the dealer had the informant’s buy money. In that case, under these bills, police would still have to let the dealer keep the cash, including the informant’s buy money, and the individual would still be able to operate. With the opioid crisis taking a big toll in Macomb County, we need all the tools possible to combat this major epidemic that has significant impact on our communities.

In addition, last term reforms were adopted by the Michigan Legislature including increasing the burden of proof to forfeit property and ending the requirement that property owners post a bond to challenge a forfeiture. These changes I believe would address many of the concerns raised by proponents of Senate Bill 2 and we should take the time to study the impact of these previous legislative efforts before moving forward with additional changes to the law. Also, many of the extreme cases that have been discussed in the media with regards to abuse of asset forfeiture took place with regards to marijuana, which has since been legalized by the voters, and will result in less investigations and seizures of assets as a result. In addition, the legislation does not take into account what would happen if a conviction is overturned on appeal after property is forfeited and sold, creating an administrative nightmare for law enforcement. A better approach, in my opinion, include mandatory training for agencies that might use forfeiture and a ban on local buybacks, where the owners can buy their property back in lieu of criminal charges. For these reasons, I oppose Senate Bill 2.”

By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Love, Ellison, Clemente, Hope, Anthony, Coleman, Cambensy, Manoogian, Kuppa, Hertel, Yancey, Garrett, Pagan, Byrd, Kennedy, Brenda Carter, Tyrone Carter, Hoadley, Liberati, Guerra, Bolden, Whitsett, Chirkun, Garza, Gay-Dagnogo, Haadsma, Hammoud, Jones, Rabhi, Sneller, Sowerby, Stone, Tate, Warren and Witwer offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 75.

A resolution to urge state and federal administrators to increase the number of women in skilled trade professions and to encourage industry leaders and labor unions to address existing and future shortages in the skilled trades workforce.

Whereas, The state of Michigan, and this nation as a whole, is experiencing a significant shortage in skilled trade workers. In Michigan, 80 percent of contracting firms report having a hard time filling salaried or hourly skilled worker positions. The shortage of skilled laborers will be exacerbated over the next decade as skilled tradespersons retire; and

Whereas, Near and long-term infrastructure projects will require a larger skilled trades workforce. The U.S. Department of Labor projects job growth in the skilled trades industry at 11 percent through 2026. According to the National Association of Manufacturers, that amounts to 3.5 million new skilled tradespersons, and the Associated General Contractors predicts a shortage of 250,000 skilled tradespersons per year. In Michigan, the number of skilled trades professionals cannot meet demand, with an expected rate of growth of 15,000 new trade jobs per year; and

Whereas, Women are underrepresented in skilled trades positions despite significant gains. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, women represent less than 5 percent of all skilled trade workers. Despite a three- to four-fold increase since the early 1970s, women only represent 2.4 percent of all electricians, 2.2 percent of all carpenters, and 3.5 percent of all plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters; and

Whereas, Many women are employed in minimum wage jobs that do not provide benefits, and good-paying trade positions could benefit these low-income households. While women constitute 47 percent of the workforce, they account for 60 percent of the working poor and 63 percent of minimum wage employees. Women are also the primary or sole earners for 40 percent of households with children under 18 years of age; and

Whereas, Privately-led efforts in Michigan have started addressing the shortage of women in skilled trades positions. Project Accelerate, founded by Rita Brown, provides women with a primer in the construction trades, and Women In Skilled Trades, founded by Tori Menold and Carol Cool, is an accelerated pre-apprenticeship program that targets single moms. Pioneers like Adrienne Bennett, the CEO of Benkari and Michigan’s first licensed Master Plumber and this nation’s first African American Master Plumber, continue to demonstrate that, with encouragement and sustained programs, women and minorities can represent an increasing share of skilled workers; and

Whereas, National and statewide policies are necessary to create greater access to training and career opportunities for women in the skilled trades. Through administrative and policy efforts, the representative imbalance of tradeswomen can be redressed as state and national programs levy more resources, devote more training opportunities to women, and connect women with registered apprenticeship programs; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge state and federal administrators to increase the number of women in skilled trade professions by improving access to skilled training and employment opportunities; and be it further

Resolved, That we encourage industry leaders and labor unions to address existing and future shortages in the skilled trades workforce by hiring and training women and minorities; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor, the Director of the Department of Talent and Economic Development, and the United States Secretary of Labor.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Commerce and Tourism.

 

 

Reps. Manoogian, Afendoulis, LaFave, Cherry, Warren, Whitsett, Pagan, Tyrone Carter, Anthony, Liberati, Garza, Kennedy, Robinson, Haadsma, Wittenberg, Cambensy, Hope, Berman, Love, Frederick, Camilleri, LaGrand, Stone, Koleszar, Pohutsky, Bolden, Chirkun, Crawford, Gay-Dagnogo, Hammoud, Jones, Kuppa, Rabhi, Rendon, Shannon, Sneller, Sowerby and Tate offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 76.

A resolution to declare April 24, 2019, as a Day of Remembrance in the state of Michigan for the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923.

Whereas, The state of Michigan recognizes that the Armenian Genocide occurred from 1915 to 1923. Armenians, as well as Greeks, Assyrian-Chaldeans, Syriacs, Arameans, Maronites, and other Christians were subject to torture, starvation, mass murder, and exile from their historic homeland. Over 1.5 million lost their lives. The Armenian Genocide represented a deliberate attempt by the Ottoman Empire to eliminate all traces of a thriving, noble civilization; and

Whereas, The majority of the Armenian population was displaced from their homes and forced to escape to neighboring and far away communities and countries. Many refugees fled to the United States. Today, Michigan is honored to be home to a vibrant Armenian-American population of more than 17,000 Michiganders. This thriving community is a proud reminder of survival and perseverance in the face of extreme injustice; and

Whereas, Michigan Armenian churches and community organizations have organized numerous charity and community drives across the state, including, but not limited to, providing college scholarships for deserving students and serving Armenian refugee communities across the state; and

Whereas, By recognizing and consistently remembering the Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust and all cases of past and ongoing genocide, we help protect historic memory, ensure that similar atrocities do not occur again, and remain vigilant against hatred, persecution and tyranny; and

Whereas, Armenian communities around the world commemorate this tragedy on April 24, 2019. On this day, we honor the victims and survivors of the Genocide and reaffirm our commitment to preventing future atrocities from being committed against any people; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 24, 2019, as a Day of Remembrance in the state of Michigan for the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.
