Rev. Dr. Jack Mannschreck, Lead Pastor of Waterford Central United Methodist Church in Waterford,
offered the following invocation:
“Gracious
Creator, we recognize that we do not always connect with Your call upon our
lives and ask that Your wisdom, guidance and higher ways become ours. We pray
for the work of this legislative session. That the deliberations and decision made
will reflect care and concern for our great state of Michigan, that individuals
will become what You intend, that communities will be what You design and that
the natural resources with which we are blessed will be utilized wisely.
We pray
for violence to end around the world and that Your will for peace become a call
upon our lives.
We pray
for inclusiveness in the workplace, in government, in service organizations and
in our churches, synagogues and mosques.
We pray
for local community schools, colleges and universities as they begin their fall
schedules. We pray for knowledge to grow and for ways in which that knowledge
will benefit our state, country and world.
Thank
You, gracious God, for the many blessings that You bestow upon us and for the responsibility
to use those blessings for the unity of all humanity.
In Your
name we pray. Amen.”

______
The Speaker called the Speaker Pro Tempore to
the Chair.
House Resolution No. 144.
A resolution to declare September 1-September
7, 2019, as Infant Safe Sleep Awareness Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Infant Safe Sleep Awareness Week
calls attention to the fact that with proper safe sleep steps, preventable
infant deaths can be avoided; and
Whereas, Sudden Unexpected Infant Death, or
SUID, is the leading cause of death in infants between one month and one year
of age; and
Whereas, According to Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, 3,500 babies in the United States are lost to
sleep-related deaths each year; and
Whereas, In 2015, 159 infants in the state of
Michigan died due to sudden unexpected infant deaths. This means that a baby
dies nearly every other day in Michigan in an unsafe sleeping environment.
Evidence suggests that these deaths are overwhelmingly preventable. The risk
factors for sudden unexpected infant death can be mitigated by reducing the
baby’s exposure to smoke and unsafe sleep practices; and
Whereas, Many parents practice unsafe sleeping
habits with their infant because they are unaware of the dangers of SUID.
Babies are needlessly dying because of unsafe sleeping environments, such as
couches and adult beds, or sleep areas with other children, adults, pets,
pillows, blankets, stuffed animals, or other toys; and
Whereas, There are seven simple steps one
should take to ensure babies sleep in a safe environment. These steps are: the
baby always sleeps alone in a crib; the baby sleeps on his or her back; there
is nothing in the baby’s sleep area; the baby’s face is uncovered; there is no
smoking around the baby; the baby is not overheated or overdressed; the baby
must sleep on a firm mattress with a tight-fitting sheet; and
Whereas, Our state is fortunate to have many
public and private partners working together to protect children and ensure
infants are safe. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Michigan
Department of Health and Human Services recommend placing infants in a safe
sleeping environment to help significantly reduce sudden unexpected death; and
Whereas, Parents should gain a broader
understanding of safe sleep practices and the risk factors associated with SUID
and share that information with others. A broader understanding of safe sleep
practices by parents in the state of
Michigan will help prevent nearly 150 infant deaths in Michigan per year; now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 1‑7, 2019, as Infant Safe Sleep Awareness Week in
the state of Michigan. We aim to promote awareness of sudden unexpected infant
death and safe sleep practices.
The question
being on the adoption of the resolution,
The
resolution was adopted.
Reps. Gay-Dagnogo, Sowerby, Kennedy, Hood, Rabhi, Pagan,
Ellison, Kuppa, Yancey, Garrett, Byrd, Witwer, Garza, Manoogian, Bolden, Wittenberg,
Pohutsky, Stone and Warren offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 145.
A resolution to urge the Governor to make
substantial progress toward eliminating the disparities minority- and
women-owned businesses experience in the state contracting process.
Whereas, A true government of the people must
always seek equitable outcomes and be accountable to all people, especially
people from disadvantaged groups. This notion only becomes more important in
matters involving the use of public funds; and
Whereas, The state spends billions of dollars
each year on goods and services from outside vendors, but the share of that
spending that goes to minority- and women-owned businesses lags behind the
population share of those groups; and
Whereas, The state has a responsibility to
pursue fairness in the contracting and procurement process. Businesses owned by
people of color and women should not routinely receive a smaller share of state
contracts than other businesses; and
Whereas, Awarding contracts to minority- and
women-owned businesses will help promote economic growth and shrink racial- and
gender-based disparities that exist in society. Investing in businesses owned
by people of color and women will have cascading positive effects in
communities that have seen underinvestment for generations; and
Whereas, Ensuring that the state contracting
process addresses these inequalities requires forward-thinking leadership and
proactive efforts. The Governor has made important progress by appointing
people of color and women to key positions in her administration and issuing
Executive Directives 2019-08 and 2019-09 which, in part, promote
geographically-disadvantaged businesses and work to ensure equal opportunity in
state contracting, but more can be done to eliminate these disparities; and
Whereas, It is important to pursue policies
that improve the state’s process for selecting vendors, including reviving the
Department of Civil Rights’ role in certifying vendors that have demonstrated
compliance with the non-discrimination requirements established in state and
federal law. It is also equally as important to make sure the state is doing
everything it can to solicit bids from minority- and women-owned businesses
that have not previously sought state contracts; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That
we urge the Governor to make substantial progress toward eliminating the
disparities minority- and women-owned businesses experience in the state
contracting process; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be
transmitted to the Governor and the Director of the Department of Management,
Technology and Budget.
The
resolution was referred to the Committee on Commerce and Tourism.
THIS RESOLUTION IS OFFERED TO COMPLY WITH MCL
51.76.
Reps.
Miller, Chirkun, Leutheuser, Coleman, Allor, Calley and Garza offered the
following concurrent resolution:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 9.
A concurrent resolution relative to secondary
road patrol funds for counties providing road patrol services to cities and
villages.
Whereas, Section 77 of 1846 RS 14, MCL 51.77,
provides funding for county secondary road patrol services pursuant to an
agreement with the Office of Criminal Justice, which, pursuant to Executive
Order No. 1989 – 4, is now the Office of Highway Safety Planning within the
Department of State Police. An agreement also provides a maintenance of law
enforcement effort standard for counties providing these secondary road patrol
services, unless it is recognized that the reduction was due to cuts in general
services due to economic conditions; and
Whereas, Section 76 of 1846 RS 14, MCL 51.76,
permits road patrol services to be provided by county sheriff departments to
cities and villages. This section also provides that a road patrol agreement is
void if the city or village reduces the number of sworn law enforcement
officers below the highest number employed at any time within the immediately
preceding 36 months, unless the Michigan Legislature, by concurrent resolution,
recognizes that the reduction was due to cuts in general services due to
economic conditions; and
Whereas, Section 77 of 1846 RS 14, MCL 51.77,
provides a formula for funding county secondary road patrol services. This
formula permits road patrol services provided by county sheriff departments to
cities and villages to be eligible for secondary road patrol funding as long as
the city or village complies with the MCL 51.76 law enforcement maintenance of
effort requirement, unless any reduction is recognized to be due to cuts in
general services due to economic conditions; and
Whereas, In all of Michigan’s counties,
cities, and villages, general services have been reduced as a result of serious
economic difficulties. These reductions in services have occurred in direct
reaction to economic conditions; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the
Senate concurring), That, for Fiscal Year 2020, counties, cities, and villages
in Michigan have been required to reduce general services because of economic
conditions and are not reducing law enforcement services as stipulated in
section 76 or 77 of 1846 RS 14; and be it further
Resolved, That counties, cities, and villages
have met the necessary terms of their agreements for road patrol services and
secondary road patrol funding as they relate to maintenance of effort.
The
concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Appropriations.
