Rep. Cynthia A. Johnson, from the 5th District, offered the following invocation:

 

“Our Father thank You for Your gratefulness for allowing me to share my testimony as beautifully written by Hezekiah Walker.

‘God Favored Me’

This is my testimony everybody, how God favored me in spite

Of my enemies, and if God did it for me he’ll do the

Same thing for you. Don’t worry about your haters your haters

Can’t do nothing with you. Listen to these words

 

Love is patient, caring. Love is Kind. Love is felt most when

It’s genuine, but I’ve had my share of love abused, manipulated

And it’s strength misused, and I can’t help but give you glory

When I think about my story, and I know you favored me

Because my enemies did try but couldn’t triumph over me

Yes they did try but couldn’t triumph over me

 

I’m still here, I’m still alive, I’m still blessed, on my way to

My destiny, because the favor of God is on my life. Let me

Tell you about love.

 

Love is patient, caring. Love is Kind. Love is felt most when

It’s genuine, but I’ve had my share of love abused, manipulated

And it’s strength misused, and I can’t help but give you glory

When I think about my story, and I know you favored me

Because my enemies did try but couldn’t triumph over me

Yes they did try but couldn’t triumph over me

 

They whispered, conspired, they told their lies (God favors me)

My character, my integrity, my faith in God (He favors me)

Will not fall, will not bend, won’t compromise (God favors me)

I speak life and prosperity and I speak health (God favors me).”

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Green, Allor, Bollin, Brenda Carter, Chirkun, Crawford, Garza, Liberati, Manoogian, Shannon, Sneller, Stone, Warren and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 146.

A resolution to declare September 2019 as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Worldwide each year about 175,000 children ages 14 and under receive a cancer diagnosis. In 2018 for the United States, the projection for new cancer diagnoses in that age group was approximately 15,500; and

Whereas, Children’s cancer affects all ethnic, gender, and socio-economic groups; and

Whereas, Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease past infancy for U.S. children; and

Whereas, Great strides have been made since the mid-1970s in the fight against pediatric cancer. Because of major treatment advances in recent decades, more than 80 percent of children with cancer now survive 5 years or more; and

Whereas, Increased awareness, support, and study may help to further improve these statistics and further protect our children from these serious diseases; and

Whereas, We should renew our commitment to curing childhood cancer and offer our support to the brave young people who are fighting this disease; and

Whereas, To honor the memory of every young person lost to cancer, we must unite behind improved treatment, advanced research, and brighter futures for young people everywhere; and

Whereas, We also recognize the amazing strength of the families of children who suffer from this illness; and

Whereas, The ability of many families to turn their grief into positive action for other children who have been diagnosed with cancer is truly inspirational; and

Whereas, All children deserve the chance to dream, discover, and realize their full potential; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 2019 as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That this month and every month, we extend our support to young people fighting for their future opportunities and recognize all who commit themselves to advancing toward the goal of a cancer-free world.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

Reps. Wozniak, Allor, Bollin, Brenda Carter, Chirkun, Crawford, Garza, Liberati, Schroeder, Shannon, Sneller, Warren and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 147.

A resolution to declare September 2019 as PACE Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The PACE (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly) model centers around the belief that it is better for frail elderly individuals to be served while continuing to live independently in the community whenever safely possible; and

Whereas, PACE is a fully integrated model that provides comprehensive highly coordinated services allowing older adults who meet state eligibility criteria for nursing home level of care to continue living in the community; and

Whereas, PACE programs assume full financial risk for all medical care and related services, including transportation, hospitalization, and long-term care, in return for capitated payments from Medicare and Medicaid. This controls costs for the state while providing improved health outcomes and greater satisfaction for participants; and

Whereas, The PACE Association of Michigan was formed in 2015 to support, safeguard, and expand Michigan PACE programs and initiatives through education and advocacy to enhance the lives of PACE participants and their caregivers; and

Whereas, Michigan’s first PACE program opened in 1995. Today, over 3,100 participants are served by 13 PACE programs in 20 sites across the state. These locations include PACE Southeast Michigan, Care Resources, Life Circles PACE, Senior Care Partners PACE, PACE of Southwest Michigan, Huron Valley PACE, Senior CommUnity Care of Michigan, Great Lakes PACE, Genesys PACE, Thome PACE, Community PACE at Home, PACE Central Michigan, and PACE North; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 2019 as PACE Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

Reps. LaGrand, Hammoud, Tyrone Carter, Hoadley, Camilleri, Anthony, Cynthia Johnson, Garza, Peterson, Brenda Carter, Kennedy, Coleman, Tate, Elder, Haadsma, Kevin Hertel, Sneller, Wittenberg, Koleszar, Manoogian, Rabhi, Pohutsky, Warren, Lasinski, Sowerby, Hood, Bolden, Pagan, Ellison, Garrett, Neeley, Gay‑Dagnogo, Yancey, Kuppa, Jones, Liberati and Stone offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 148.

A resolution to oppose the resumption of capital punishment by the federal government and urge Attorney General Barr and the U.S. Department of Justice to immediately reverse its decision to resume executions.

Whereas, The federal government has only carried out three death sentences since capital punishment was reinstated in 1988, the most recent of which took place in 2003. Federal executions have not taken place in recent years, in part, because of difficulty obtaining sodium thiopental, one of three drugs used in federal executions; and

Whereas, The federal government will be resuming capital punishment, scheduling five executions begin­ning in December 2019. On July 25, 2019, Attorney General William Barr directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons to adopt a proposed Addendum to the Federal Execution Protocol, replacing the three-drug procedure previously used in federal executions with a single drug, pentobarbital; and

Whereas, The death penalty is cruel and barbaric and has no place in modern society. The federal government should not be taking steps to reinstate this unwise, unequal, and unjust practice; and

Whereas, The death penalty has never been convincingly shown to deter people from committing serious crimes. States without the death penalty have experienced similar falling rates of violent crime as states with the death penalty in recent decades, and states have abolished the death penalty without seeing a rise in violent crime; and

Whereas, Capital punishment is more expensive than alternative sentences such as life in prison. Trials take longer and are more expensive when the death penalty is at issue; the appeals process is lengthier; and there are significant costs associated with security and prisoner housing for death penalty cases that are not present in non-death penalty cases. Numerous states have found the true cost of an execution to be higher than that of a life sentence; and

Whereas, The death penalty is applied in a fundamentally unequal way. An enormous body of research shows that racial, ethnic, and religious minorities are more likely to receive death sentences, as are the poor and people with developmental disabilities and mental illness; and

Whereas, The permanence of capital punishment robs people of the ability to prove their innocence. Executions of wrongfully convicted individuals cannot be undone even upon the discovery of new evidence and scientific methodologies or when better analysis comes to light. The growing number of exonerations nationwide suggests at least some portion of the people who could be executed at the federal level are innocent; and

Whereas, Many Michiganders and Americans follow faith traditions which clearly reject the use of the death penalty in concept or in practice because it violates important doctrines related to fairness, mercy, and the value of human life; and

Whereas, Moral opposition to capital punishment is part of Michigan’s identity, having been the first English-speaking jurisdiction in the world to pass legislation against the death penalty in 1846. The state has long recognized that a society that sanctions executions diminishes the value of life, particularly when other means of punishment are as effective, less costly, and fairer. This moral clarity is best articulated by Sojourner Truth, speaking in opposition to a proposal to reinstate the death penalty:

It shocked me worse than slavery. I’ve heard that you are going to have hanging again in this state...Where is the man or woman who can sanction such a thing as that? We are the makers of murderers if we do it.

; and

Whereas, The framers of Michigan’s 1963 constitution felt so strongly in their opposition to capital punishment that they enshrined it in Article IV, Section 46 of the state constitution, providing that “No law shall be enacted providing for the penalty of death.”; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we oppose the resumption of capital punishment by the federal government and urge Attorney General Barr and the U.S. Department of Justice to immediately reverse its decision to resume executions; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the Attorney General of the United States, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
