“Eternal God, creator and preserver of all life, author of salvation, and giver of all grace: Look with favor upon this House.
Give these Representatives wisdom and devotion in the ordering of their lives, that each individual may be to the others a strength in need, a counselor in perplexity, and a companion in challenging times.
Grant that their wills may be so knit together in Your will, and their spirits in Your Spirit, that they may work towards the fulfillment of Your Kingdom, putting aside their all too human error and bias.
Give them grace, when grace is necessary.
Scatter the pride of this House, and bless it when it lifts up the lowly, especially when it does so with a genuine heart.
Lord God, we ask that You revive the moral soul of hesitant institutions, and remind us all that if we are hesitant to do what is right we increase the labor of those already burdened with iniquity.
Generous God, reward this House for its righteous dealings and keep humble Your servants that reside here.
Keep firm in the hearts of these Representatives that they are called to be servants, and keep firmer still the faces of those they serve.
Lord, if these Representatives should come from privilege, let them work for the favor of the marginalized.
Lord, if these Representatives should come into riches, let them work for the betterment of the poor.
Lord, if these Representatives should come into power, let them work to find humility, and if they should find it, let them reap its reward.
Lord, we ask for Your wisdom to guide the discourse of this House.
Where there is foolishness, bring compromise.
Where there is hesitancy for justice, bring decisiveness and courage.
Where there is greed for Earthly things, bring love for the impoverished.
And where there is no love visible, bring the almighty love of Your eternal presence.
We ask all of this in the name of Your ever present spirit O God.
Amen.”

House Resolution No. 116.
A resolution to declare June 10, 2019, as Alcoholics Anonymous Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, On June 10, 1935, Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith first met. What grew out of that meeting was Alcoholics Anonymous; and
Whereas, Out of Alcoholics Anonymous, the 12 step program, a set of spiritual guiding principles to assist in recovery from alcoholism, was developed; and
Whereas Alcoholics Anonymous has been a positive guide for countless people the world over as they have battled the disease of alcoholism; and
Whereas, Numerous people, both in America and worldwide, are sober because of their experiences in Alcoholics Anonymous; and
Whereas, The 12 step
program developed by Alcoholics Anonymous has been adopted by numerous other
groups around the world to assist people struggling with other addictions, such
as narcotics, gambling, and overeating; and
Whereas, The religious and spiritual community around the globe has praised the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, with some going so far as to coin it America’s gift to world spirituality; and
Whereas, We stand in solidarity with our families, friends and neighbors struggling with alcoholism; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 10, 2019, as Alcoholics Anonymous Day in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

House Resolution No. 117.
A resolution to declare June 2019 as Buddy-to-Buddy Volunteer Veteran Program Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Our military’s men and women make great sacrifices to protect our country, our state, and the freedoms and privileges we hold dear; and
Whereas, As veterans and service members, they deserve to be supported, cared for, and afforded access to the benefits they’ve earned; and
Whereas, There are over 650,000 veterans and over 16,000 active duty and reserve service members in Michigan; and
Whereas, In Michigan, only 18% of veterans are currently receiving benefits, while veterans are disproportionately overrepresented in the population experiencing homelessness. The veteran suicide rate in the state is higher than that of the civilian population; and
Whereas, Buddy-to-Buddy volunteer veterans open their hearts and give their time to provide peer support and connection to vital resources for Michigan’s veterans and service members and thus play a vital role in supporting this community; and
Whereas, The Buddy-to-Buddy Volunteer Veteran Program has helped over 5,500 veterans and service members in the state of Michigan since its inception; and
Whereas, The 10th anniversary of the Buddy-to-Buddy Volunteer Veteran Program is an appropriate opportunity to thank the volunteers and staff who have embraced the responsibility of providing support to our veterans and service members in need; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan must do more to improve the lives veterans and service members in Michigan; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 2019 as Buddy-to-Buddy Volunteer Veteran Program Month in the state of Michigan. We commemorate the 10th anniversary of this worthy endeavor and its service to the state of Michigan. We encourage citizens to volunteer their time, talents, and resources to support our veterans and service members and realize that the state of Michigan must do more to improve the lives of those who have given so much.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Reps. Markkanen, Allor, Bollin, Calley, Cherry, Chirkun, Clemente, Crawford, Elder, Garrett, Garza, Gay‑Dagnogo, Green, Haadsma, Hood, Hope, Cynthia Johnson, Jones, Kahle, Kuppa, Leutheuser, Liberati, Manoogian, Miller, Pagan, Pohutsky, Rendon, Sabo, Slagh, Sowerby, Stone, Tate, Warren, Webber, Wittenberg, Witwer and Yaroch offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 118.
A resolution to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day and all of the Allied forces who fought along the beaches of Normandy so that Europe might be free from the bonds of tyranny and oppression.
Whereas, Seventy-five years ago on June 6, 1944, approximately 150,000 Allied troops landed along a heavily-fortified stretch of French coastline, seeking to breach Fortress Europe and strike a crucial blow against the fascism of Nazi Germany; and
Whereas, More than 5,000 ships and 11,000 aircraft supported the invasion, making D-Day the largest air, land, and sea operation ever undertaken; and
Whereas, These soldiers, many of whom were not yet even 20 years old, faced a daunting and perilous task, as they fought through the ocean surf, braving artillery shells and machine gun fire with little to no natural cover to protect against enemy guns; and
Whereas, Allied forces suffered more than 10,000 casualties that day
with more than 4,000 Allied soldiers making the ultimate sacrifice, laying down
their lives on the beachheads of France in the name of liberty; and
Whereas, Many sons of America were laid to rest in the graveyards of Europe, young lives cut short before their time, brave and valiant men sacrificing the promise of their lifetime to lay footprints on the sands of Normandy, thousands of miles from their homes; and
Whereas, Those brave men who waged battle on the Normandy coast represent the best of mankind, embodying a love of country, a dedication to humanity, and, above all else, a profound and steadfast devotion to the causes of liberty and freedom; and
Whereas, All those American soldiers who lost their lives and shed their blood on that fateful day are testaments to America’s enduring promise to forever stand tall against tyrannical governments, to always protect and defend democracy, and to never forget that our nation and all great nations were built upon the principles of freedom; and
Whereas, We must ever and always remember and honor the men who fought and died on that day, both those who returned home as heroes, husbands, and fathers, and also those whom history called to their final breath on Norman sands; and
Whereas, Michiganders, realizing full well that words ring hollow in honoring the bravery, valiance, and courage of these men, seek to honor their memories; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day and all of the Allied forces who fought along the beaches of Normandy so that Europe might be free from the bonds of tyranny and oppression. We encourage all Michiganders to observe the anniversary of D-Day and to forever honor those souls whose eulogy will always be a free and democratic Europe.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Reps. Greig, Witwer, Garza, Love, Anthony, Wittenberg, Kuppa, Clemente, Hood, Brixie, Stone, Manoogian, Pagan, Hoadley, Tyrone Carter, Tate, Haadsma, Hope, Bolden, Kennedy, Koleszar, Crawford, Allor, Rendon, Pohutsky, Warren, Cherry, Lasinski, Camilleri, Hertel, Bollin, Calley, Chirkun, Elder, Ellison, Garrett, Gay-Dagnogo, Cynthia Johnson, Jones, Liberati, Rabhi, Sabo, Sowerby and Yaroch offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 119.
A resolution to commemorate June 10, 2019, as the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment by the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Michigan was the one of the first three states to ratify the 19th Amendment, providing suffrage to women; and
Whereas, The introduction, passage, and ultimate ratification of the 19th Amendment were the culmination of decades of work and struggle by advocates for the rights of women across Michigan and the United States; and
Whereas, This tireless advocacy began in Michigan in 1846, when a woman named Ernestine Rose spoke to the Michigan Legislature about the need for women’s suffrage; and
Whereas, Organized efforts to advocate for a vote on women’s suffrage began with a petition drive in 1855; and
Whereas, In 1866, the Michigan Legislature considered its first bill to extend suffrage to women, but the measure was defeated by a single vote; and
Whereas, Over the next fifty years, proposals to grant women the right to vote were considered numerous times by the Legislature and Michigan voters, but each time the measures came up short; and
Whereas, Leading these campaigns were organized groups such as the Michigan State Suffrage Association and the Michigan Equal Suffrage Association, who held rallies and worked to educate others about the importance of women’s suffrage; and
Whereas, Women from across the state of Michigan with diverse backgrounds and political views persisted in their quest for women’s suffrage, persevering in the face of resistance; and
Whereas, These Michigan women played an instrumental role in achieving women’s suffrage both in Michigan and across the country; and
Whereas, It took male allies to support women in their endeavor to vote, for it was sons, husbands, and fathers who ultimately heard the calls of women and took this historic vote on June 10, 1919; and
Whereas, In August of the following year, the 19th Amendment was ratified by three-fourths of the states and officially became part of the Constitution of the United States; and
Whereas, Thanks to the decades-long effort by women’s rights activists, the daughters, granddaughters, and great-granddaughters of the women who fought so hard to vote have been making their voices heard at the polls for nearly 100 years; and
Whereas, Most of the women who began asking for the right to vote never lived to see the enfranchisement of women; and
Whereas, Women are now
running for elected office in unprecedented numbers, following in the footsteps
of these great suffragists; and
Whereas, We recognize the centennial of women’s suffrage and honor those who have championed the movement to achieve economic, social, and political equality for women in the state of Michigan; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate June 10, 2019, as the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment by the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That we reaffirm Michigan’s commitment to empowering and uplifting the voices of women across our great state.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.

Kahle, Bollin, Allor, Calley, Cherry, Chirkun, Clemente, Crawford, Elder, Garrett, Garza, Gay‑Dagnogo, Haadsma, Hood, Hope, Cynthia Johnson, Jones, Kuppa, Leutheuser, Liberati, Love, Manoogian, Pagan, Pohutsky, Rabhi, Rendon, Sabo, Slagh, Sowerby, Stone, Tate, Warren, Webber, Wittenberg and Witwer offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 120.
A resolution to declare June 2019 as Alzheimer’s Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Alzheimer’s disease, a progressive neurodegenerative brain disorder, tragically robs individuals of their memories and leads to progressive mental and physical impairments; and
Whereas, There are no known treatments to prevent, cure, or even delay the onset or slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease; and
Whereas, An estimated 5.6 million people aged 65 and over have Alzheimer’s disease and another 200,000 people under age 65 have younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease; and
Whereas, In Michigan, there are an estimated 190,000 people aged 65 and over currently living with Alzheimer’s; and
Whereas, Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and the fifth leading cause among the elderly; and
Whereas, According to the Alzheimer’s Association’s Facts and Figures report, the direct costs of caring for those with Alzheimer’s to American society is valued at $290 billion and more than 16 million caregivers provided over 18 billion hours of unpaid care for those with Alzheimer’s and other dementias in 2018. In Michigan, 517,000 family members and friends cared for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, providing 589 million hours of unpaid care, with the annual value of this caregiving totaling $7,444,000,000; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan recognizes the efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association to raise funds and promote awareness to fight Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, thereby improving the quality of human life for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers; and
Whereas, The month of June 2019 has been declared Alzheimer’s Month to help spread awareness and educate the public on this debilitating disease and the need to increase efforts to combat its human and economic costs; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 2019 as Alzheimer’s Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We recognize the individuals, families, friends, and caregivers dealing with Alzheimer’s disease and the researchers who are seeking a cause or cure, and urge all residents to wear purple to help spread awareness of the Alzheimer’s Association’s vision of imagining a world without Alzheimer’s disease.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Wittenberg, Elder, Manoogian, Brixie, Pagan, Kuppa, Gay-Dagnogo, Hoadley, Hammoud, Lasinski, Chirkun, Bolden, Warren, Rabhi, Hertel, Sowerby, Liberati, Ellison, Hope, Clemente, Koleszar, Kennedy, Stone, Tate, Hood, Guerra, Cynthia Johnson, Pohutsky, Anthony, Yancey, Greig, Garrett, Garza, Jones and Sabo offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 121.
A resolution to declare June 7, 2019, as National Gun Violence Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Every day, 100 Americans are killed by gun violence and countless others are wounded; and
Whereas, Americans are 25 times more likely to be killed with guns than people in other high-income countries; and
Whereas, Protecting public safety in the communities they serve is among a governor’s highest responsibilities; and
Whereas, Support for the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens goes hand-in-hand with keeping guns away from people that shouldn’t have them; and
Whereas, June 2019 would have marked the 22nd birthday of Hadiya Pendleton, a teenager who marched in President Obama’s second inaugural parade and was tragically shot and killed just weeks later; and
Whereas, To help honor
Hadiya, and the 100 Americans whose lives are cut short and the countless
others who are wounded by gun violence every day, June 7, 2019, has been
designated as the 5th National Gun Violence Awareness Day; and
Whereas, The idea was inspired by a group of Hadiya’s friends, who asked their classmates to commemorate her life by wearing orange. They chose this color because hunters wear orange to protect themselves and others and orange is a color that has been embraced by the gun safety movement because it symbolizes the value of human life; and
Whereas, By wearing orange and commemorating National Gun Violence Awareness Day on June 7, Americans will raise awareness about gun violence and honor the lives and lost human potential of Americans stolen by gun violence; and
Whereas, We renew our commitment to reduce gun violence and pledge to do all we can to keep firearms out of the wrong hands, and encourage responsible gun ownership to help keep our children safe; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 7, 2019, as National Gun Violence Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
