Dr.
Jayson Godsey, Pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Cadillac, offered the
following invocation:
“Heavenly
Father, we come to You today in prayer, thankful for this day and this great
country that we live in, and pray that You would continue to bless her as You
have done in the past.
We ask
You to bless our President, Donald Trump, and his staff, and give them guidance
as they seek to continue to make America great.
We pray
for our State, and for our Governor and her staff as she leads here in
Michigan.
Now
Father, we pray for this body, that You would give them the wisdom of Solomon
so that they might effectively do their work of governing; and where they lack
wisdom, let them ask of You, ‘that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth
not; and it shall be given him.’ (James 1:5)
We pray
that You give them the character of David, who was known as a man after God’s
own heart, not a perfect man but an upright man. In like manner, help this body
to rule and judge righteous judgment, understanding that ‘righteousness
exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.’ (Prov. 14:34)
We
pray, Father, that You would give this body the courage of Daniel, who was a
statesman in a time when standing up the for truth and the things of God were
not popular and yet he stood determining that pleasing God was more important
than pleasing men.
Finally,
Lord, we pray that You would give them the selflessness of Jesus, Who was
willing to lay down His life for others. The Bible says, ‘Greater love has no
man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.’ (John 15:13) Help,
I pray, this body of representatives to have the mind of Christ and be able to
sacrifice their own personal agendas or political plans for the furtherance and
future of our great state.
Bless
now, I pray, Lord, all those that love and follow You. In Jesus’ precious name,
Amen.”

Mr. Gary Randall, Clerk

Dear Mr. Clerk,
This letter is to notify you that I am
removing Representative Larry Inman from the following committees:

State Police
·
Subcommittee on Joint Capital Outlay
·
Subcommittee on School Aid and

House of Representatives
______
The
Speaker called Associate Speaker Pro Tempore Hornberger to the Chair.
By
unanimous consent the House returned to the order of
Motions
and Resolutions
House Resolution No. 98.
A
resolution to declare May 15, 2019, as Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Awareness Day
in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, It is important to increase awareness of
tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and support programs to increase research and
improve treatment of tuberous sclerosis. It is also vital to improve training
and support for individuals with tuberous sclerosis and those who care for
individuals with tuberous sclerosis; and
Whereas,
The Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance is the only national voluntary health
organization dedicated to finding a cure for TSC and improving the lives of
those affected through research, support, and education; and
Whereas,
TSC affects an estimated 1 in every 6,000 live births in America; and
Whereas,
TSC affects some people severely, while others are so mildly affected that it
often goes undiagnosed; and
Whereas,
People with TSC often develop epilepsy and autism. In fact, TSC is one of the
leading known genetic causes of epilepsy and over half of those who have TSC
also have autism. Many other individuals encounter behavioral and learning
problems. Despite this, many professionals in the medical and educational
fields are still unaware of the best methods to diagnose and treat TSC; now,
therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body
declare May15, 2019, as Tuberous Sclerosis Awareness Day in the state of
Michigan. We recognize and commend the families and individuals affected by TSC
for their sacrifice and dedication in dealing with this devastating condition.
We commend them for providing the special needs of both children and adults
with TSC and for absorbing significant financial costs for treatment and
support services; and be it further
Resolved,
That we stress the need to begin early intervention services soon after a child
has been diagnosed with TSC. Early intervention strategies are the primary
therapeutic options for young people with TSC, and early intervention
significantly improves outcomes for people with TSC. Early intervention can
reduce the level of funding and services needed later in life.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
House Resolution No. 99.
A
resolution to declare May 15, 2019, as Older Michiganians Day in the state of
Michigan.
Whereas,
Over one million Michiganians age 60 and over deserve our utmost respect and
gratitude for their many contributions to our communities and our state. Older
citizens play a vital role in cities and towns all across our great state; and
Whereas,
Older Michiganians are active supporters of Michigan’s economy, workforce,
charities, religious institutions, local communities, and institutions of
government. This group is one of our state’s greatest resources of
understanding our past and improving our future. They are truly a foundation
upon which we can build a better tomorrow; and
Whereas,
This invaluable group of citizens is being honored and admired for their many
years of service to the state of Michigan. They have been an indispensable
source of knowledge and inspiration throughout the years; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body
declare May 15, 2019, as Older Michiganians Day in the state of Michigan. We
honor our state’s population of older citizens.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps.
Reilly, Allor, Chirkun, Crawford and Kahle offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 100.
A
resolution to declare May 16, 2019, as Home Education Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas,
The state of Michigan is committed to excellence in education; and
Whereas,
Michigan law affirms that it is the natural, fundamental right of parents and
legal guardians to determine and direct the care, teaching, and education of
their children; and
Whereas,
Research demonstrates conclusively that educational alternatives and direct
family participation improve academic performance; and
Whereas,
Families engaged in home-based education are not dependent on public,
tax-funded resources for their children’s education, thus saving Michigan
taxpayers millions of dollars annually; and
Whereas,
Educating children at home was the predominant form of education during much of
our nation’s history; and
Whereas, Home education has a long history of success in
our country, producing such notable Americans as George Washington, Benjamin
Franklin, Patrick Henry, John Quincy Adams, John Marshall, Robert E. Lee,
Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, Helen Keller, Clara Barton, Laura Ingalls
Wilder, Franklin D. Roosevelt, George Patton, Douglas MacArthur, Frank Lloyd
Wright, John Philip Sousa, and Tim Tebow among many others; and
Whereas,
Michigan’s home educated students are being equipped to be successful,
informed, engaged, ethical, and productive citizens who enrich our society and
contribute to the well-being of our state; and
Whereas, Michigan parents who home educate their children
at their own expense are dedicating their time and talents to ensuring that
their child’s academic, spiritual, physical, psychological, social, and
emotional needs are met, and are therefore to be commended for their
extraordinary sacrifice and commitment; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body
declare May 16, 2019, as Home Education Day in the state of Michigan. We call
this observance to the attention of all our citizens; and be it further
Resolved,
That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Christian
Homeschool Network organization with our highest esteem.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Rabhi, Gay-Dagnogo, Lilly, Brixie, Tyrone Carter, Hoadley, Hertel, Sabo, Elder, Coleman, Lasinski, Hammoud, Brann, Marino, Inman, Mueller, Reilly, Warren, Cynthia Johnson, Chirkun, Clemente, Ellison, Garza, Haadsma, Liberati, Manoogian, Peterson, Pohutsky, Shannon, Sneller, Sowerby and Stone offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 101.
A resolution to urge the U.S. Congress to enact legislation preventing federal regulators from sanctioning depository institutions for providing financial services to legitimate marijuana-related businesses in states where marijuana has been legalized.
Whereas, The medical and recreational marijuana industries are continually growing across states in the country, contributing billions of dollars to the economy. Many states have legalized the use of medical and/or recreational marijuana, while additional states may do so in the future; and
Whereas, Voters of the state of Michigan have
approved the legalization of regulated medical and recreational marijuana use;
and
Whereas, Marijuana is still illegal under federal law, creating confusion and uncertainty in banking, taxation, and other matters. Because of the federal prohibition, there is an extreme risk to provide financial services to marijuana-related businesses and service providers, resulting in a cash-intensive industry. In turn, it is very difficult for such businesses to accept noncash payments from customers and make noncash payments to employees, suppliers, governments, and others; and
Whereas, The proliferation of cash in the marijuana industry has given rise to significant public safety risks, including in Michigan’s communities. Holding large amounts of cash heightens the risk of robbery and violence; and
Whereas, Bringing the marijuana sector into the traditional financial services system is in the interest of the state and its residents. This development will increase public safety, grow the economy, and create jobs. Moreover, it will make transacting business with, and collecting taxes from, the marijuana industry easier. The federal government should respect the authority of Michigan and other states that have enacted policies concerning marijuana use; and
Whereas,
The Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act of 2019 has been introduced
in the U.S. House of Representatives (H.R. 1595) to provide safe harbor
from federal regulators for depository institutions that provide financial
services to marijuana-related businesses and service providers in states that
exercise jurisdiction over the marijuana industry. The measure has received
bipartisan support; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the U.S. Congress to enact legislation preventing federal regulators from sanctioning depository institutions for providing financial services to legitimate marijuana-related businesses in states where marijuana has been legalized; and be it further
Resolved,
That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United
States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and
the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The resolution was referred to the Committee
on Financial Services.

“Mr. Speaker and members of the

did not do enough to regulate the sales of e-cigarettes. These products need to

these products are treated like the truly dangerous, addictive materials they
are.”
