Rev. Charles E. Williams II, Pastor of Historic King Solomon Church in Detroit, offered the following invocation:

 

“O God we come humbly before You. Thanking You for yet an opportunity to serve in the capacity that You given us.

We ask that as we are here in this place where the affairs of men are delineated. You would allow Your Holy Spirit to guide the hands of representatives in drafting legislation. We ask that as they make their commutes from district to capital that You would allow that small voice to speak to them reminding them of a charge to keep.

O God let us agree and work in unity for the betterment of every man and woman no matter color, religion, or sexual orientation.

Further O God keep our children safe in schools, our and our communities safe from violence wrought by assault weapons and racism.

Let the only supremacy to reign in this capitol be the supreme nature of Love for which You have given us.

Finally, God we remain steadfast and unmovable in our plea to remember the least of these. From the Upper peninsula to the borders of Ohio. The poor in finance. The poor in spirit. The poor in health.

Although they be with us, let us work collectively to protect them as You have commanded through Your son Jesus.

God bless Michigan and the United States of America.

All these we pray In Your name.

Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Love, Hammoud, Brixie, Whitsett, Anthony, Kennedy, Garza, Brenda Carter, Pagan, Manoogian, Cherry, Ellison, Wittenberg, Gay-Dagnogo, Rabhi, Shannon and Stone offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 139.

A resolution to encourage all of Michigan’s public universities to enact welcoming policies and procedures for students from all over the world.

Whereas, Michigan colleges and universities should be welcoming places of learning for students from all over the world in order to promote a rich environment of cultural diversity. Learning with people from a variety of backgrounds allows free communication, encourages collaboration, and fosters innovation, thereby benefiting all students; and

Whereas, Through body of law, the Michigan Legislature has worked purposefully to ensure that government protects the rights and liberties guaranteed in our constitution and discourages the systematic violation of the rights of people in our state. Policies that contribute to community divisiveness by perpetuating negative and inaccurate stereotypes about immigrant communities and visitors do not reflect the cultural fabric of this state. Resistance against hatred, racism, and xenophobia is a constant battle from which we cannot retire; and

Whereas, An individual’s right to privacy is protected by the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Foreign students and staff should be allowed the right to work and study on college campuses in peace without release of their personal information or unwarranted searches by campus police in cooperation with federal immigration authorities; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we encourage all of Michigan’s public universities to enact welcoming policies and procedures for new students from all over the world; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Association of State Universities.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Education.

The Speaker called Associate Speaker Pro Tempore Lilly to the Chair.

Rep. Miller offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 140.

A resolution to encourage the Governor to appoint Lois J. Cross-Hart of the village of Cassopolis as Poet Laureate of the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Poetry is an important art form with a rich historical tradition. Composed with great creativity, poetry is expressive writing that evokes emotion and communicates meaning. Simply put, poetry is writing that moves us in many ways; and

Whereas, The appointment of a poet laureate will encourage a greater appreciation for the reading and writing of poetry by the people of Michigan and can help with our state’s child literacy problem. Appointing a poet laureate is also an opportunity to honor a poet who has made significant cultural contributions to our state; and

Whereas, Lois J. Cross-Hart is a talented and prolific poet and a lifelong resident of Michigan. She was designated as the Cass County Poet Laureate in March 2012 by the Cass County Board of Commissioners. She has written thousands of poems, and her work has a broad appeal reflective of her Michigan roots and diverse background. She is well suited to be recognized as our state’s official poet; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we encourage the Governor to appoint Lois J. Cross-Hart of the village of Cassopolis as Poet Laureate of the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor and Lois J. Cross-Hart.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

 

 

Reps. Gay-Dagnogo, Rabhi, Tate, Cynthia Johnson, Cherry, Love, Pohutsky, Shannon, Sowerby and Stone offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 141.

A resolution to honor 400 years of African American heritage in the United States of America.

Whereas, The 100th Michigan Legislature recognizes, honors, and acknowledges 400 years of African‑American heritage in the United States of America; and

Whereas, The Africans who came to Virginia in 1619 had been taken from West Central Africa; and

Whereas, Africans were first brought involuntarily to the shores of America, as the first Africans arrived in Virginia because of the transatlantic slave trade; and

Whereas, The Africans were sold into bondage despite Virginia having no clear-cut laws sanctioning slavery. Across three and a half centuries—from 1501 to 1867—more than 12.5 million Africans were captured, sold, and transported to the Americas. The English ship, White Lion, arrived at Point Comfort, or present-day Hampton, Virginia, toward the end of August 2019. John Rolfe, a prominent planter and merchant, reported that “20. and odd Negroes” were “bought for victuals.”; and

Whereas, The majority of Africans were acquired by wealthy and well-connected English planters including Governor Sir George Yeardley and the cape, or head, merchant, Abraham Piersey. It is estimated that during the 300 years of the transatlantic slave trade, between 12 million and 20 million Africans were transported to the Americas as slaves. Of these, more than 400,000 were sent to the 13 British colonies and, later, the United States. Current estimates hold that more than 1 million Africans died on these journeys; and

Whereas, Uncompensated labor served as a major foundation upon much of the wealth found in the United States. By 1840, slave-labor-produced cotton was 59 percent of United States exports and became a driving force behind the Industrial Revolution. The profits, while beginning from forced labor in the south, spread across the nation as ports and merchants carried the product of the labor. The extraction and accumulation of wealth from enslaved Africans has created a direct, measurable economic disparity with modern impact estimates ranging in the trillions. Enslaved Africans laid the literal cornerstones of American institutions, such as the U.S. Capitol Building, White House, Wall Street, and numerous prominent universities; and

Whereas, Throughout the entire history of African-American heritage, African-Americans not only persevered, African-Americans thrived and successfully contributed to every aspect of American society. Four hundred years after the first Africans were brought to America against their will, African-Americans have proudly volunteered in every American war, from the Revolutionary War to the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some of the most successful business people, astronauts, athletes, leaders and a President are African-Americans who are direct descendants of the original Africans brought to this country as slaves; and

Whereas, Throughout perilous sacrifices, African American citizens continue to contribute to the strength, will, history, and culture of the United States; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor 400 years of African-American heritage in the United States of America.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Rep. Cole moved that Rule 71 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.

 

Reps. Glenn, Love, Shannon and Stone offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 142.

A resolution to commemorate August 26, 2019, as the 99th anniversary of the adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment by the Congress of the United States.

Whereas, Congress proposed the Nineteenth Amendment on June 4, 1919; and 

Whereas, On June 10, 1919, the first three states ratified the Nineteenth Amendment, including Michigan; and

Whereas, Over a year later on August 18, 1920, Tennessee became the thirty-sixth state to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment; and  

Whereas, On August 26, 1920, U.S. Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby certified the Nineteenth Amendment, and women finally achieved the long-sought right to vote in the United States; and  

Whereas, On November 2, 1920, millions of women across the United States voted in elections for the first time; and

Whereas, Each year to follow, more women have been participating in elections and public service, including the record-high 53 women currently serving in the Michigan House of Representatives; and

Whereas, This would have not have been possible without the decades of hard work and sacrifices made by those who contributed to making the Nineteenth Amendment a reality; and

Whereas, We recognize and honor those individuals who changed the course of our history and opened so many doors for women in America; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate August 26, 2019, as the 99th anniversary of the adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment by the Congress of the United States.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

EXECUTIVE ORDER

 

No. 2019-18

 

Department of Health and Human Services

 

Michigan Opioids Task Force

 

The epidemic of opioid abuse has plagued Michigan for years. While more recent response efforts have made some headway in combating this epidemic, it remains a full-blown public-health crisis, afflicting Michigan residents of all backgrounds, age groups, and income levels. Michigan remains among the states with the highest levels of both opioid prescriptions and opioid overdose deaths, and the abuse of these drugs continues to exact a heavy toll on this state’s families, communities, and resources.

Combating an epidemic of this size and impact requires a coordinated and comprehensive approach: one that identifies and confronts the full scope of the epidemic’s root causes and contributing factors in Michigan; that pools, optimizes, and augments the efforts and resources on all levels—public and private; local, state, and federal—that are available to address the epidemic; and that raises public awareness of the epidemic, its causes and effects, the resources available to those afflicted by it, and the actions that can be taken to combat it.

The health and well-being of this state and its residents would benefit from a task force devoted to developing and implementing such statewide response actions, and to bringing this crisis under full and lasting control.

Section 51 of article 4 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 declares the public health and general welfare of the people of the State of Michigan as matters of primary public concern.

Section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the State of Michigan in the governor.

Section 8 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 places each principal department of state government under the supervision of the governor unless otherwise provided.

Section 8 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 also obligates the governor to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.

Acting pursuant to the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:

   1.  Creation of the Michigan Opioids Task Force

   (a)  The Michigan Opioids Task Force (“Task Force”) is created as an advisory body within the Department of Health and Human Services (“Department”).

   (b) The Task Force shall consist of the following members:

        (1)  The director of the Department, or the director’s designee from within the Department.

        (2)  The chief medical executive of the State of Michigan.

        (3)  The director of the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, or the director’s designee from within that department.

        (4)  The director of the Michigan State Police, or the director’s designee from within that department.

        (5)  The director of the Department of Corrections, or the director’s designee from within that department.

     (11)  The superintendent of public instruction, or the superintendent’s designee from within the Department of Education.

   (d) Members of the Task Force are ex officio members and serve at the pleasure of the governor.

   (e)  The director of the Department shall designate the chairperson of the Task Force.

   2.  Charge to the Task Force

   (a)  The Task Force shall provide recommendations to the director of the Department, and the heads of other departments or agencies, and coordinate activities among departments and agencies.

   (b) The Task Force shall research, identify, recommend, and implement response actions to the opioid epidemic in Michigan, which may include the following:

        (1)  Identify and evaluate the epidemic’s root causes and contributing factors in Michigan, and the effectiveness of response actions on all levels that have been undertaken or are currently being undertaken. Develop strategies for supporting or otherwise improving the efficacy of those response actions.

        (2)  Identify and evaluate the nature and scope of the epidemic’s impact on various locations and communities throughout the state and what response actions would be most effective in helping each of those impacted areas. Develop strategies for implementing those response actions.

        (3)  Identify and evaluate what financial and other resources are available on all levels to combat the epidemic in Michigan. Develop strategies for securing, coordinating, augmenting, and deploying those resources.

        (4)  Develop strategies for increasing public awareness of the epidemic in Michigan, its causes and effects, the resources available to those afflicted by it, and the actions that can be taken to combat it.

        (5)  Develop routine communication and information-sharing protocols between members of the Task Force and stakeholders on all levels.

        (6)  Perform outreach to ensure all stakeholders in impacted areas are informed, educated, and empowered. Stakeholder outreach will include, but is not limited to, residents, community members, other partner organizations, tribal governments, local government officials, and other elected officials representing the impacted areas.

        (7)  Perform outreach to the general public regarding the epidemic and the work of the Task Force.

        (8)  Create measurable goals and objectives along an established timeline.

        (9)  Recommend changes in Michigan law relevant to combating the epidemic.

   (d) The Task Force may select from among its members a vice chairperson.

   (e)  The Task Force may select from among its members a secretary. Task Force staff shall assist the secretary with recordkeeping responsibilities.

   (h) The Task Force may establish advisory workgroups composed of individuals or entities participating in Task Force activities or other members of the public as deemed necessary by the Task Force to assist it in performing its duties and responsibilities. The Task Force may adopt, reject, or modify any recommendations proposed by an advisory workgroup.

   (i)  The Task Force may, as appropriate, make inquiries, studies, and investigations, hold hearings, and receive comments from the public. The Task Force also may consult with outside experts in order to perform its duties, including experts in the private sector, organized labor, government agencies, and at institutions of higher education.

   (j)  The Task Force may hire or retain contractors, sub-contractors, advisors, consultants, and agents, and may make and enter into contracts necessary or incidental to the exercise of the powers of the Task Force and the performance of its duties as the director of the Department deems advisable and necessary, consistent with this order and applicable law, rules and procedures, and subject to available funding.

   (k) The Task Force may accept donations of labor, services, or other things of value from any public or private agency or person. Any donations shall be received and used in accordance with law.
