Rev. Tonya Arnesen, Senior Pastor of First United Methodist Church in Jackson, offered the following invocation:
“As you gather for your first session in the year 2020, these words from a familiar hymn come to mind:
Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
naught be all else to me, save that thou art.
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word;
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord;
Thou and thou only, first in my heart,
Great God of heaven, my treasure thou art.
Great God of heaven, this Michigan House of Representatives is now halfway through their historic 100th session. As they embark upon their shared work in this new year, be their vision, O God. Let them see the needs of their people through YOUR eyes; let them witness signs of hope in their districts and take courage from it. Let Your blessed presence be their light and Your divine wisdom be their guide.
Renew a sense of ‘holy calling’ and shared purpose in this place. Give these leaders clarity of mind and generosity of heart as they lead together in 2020. Endow them with the passion of deeply-felt convictions – which spurs them to seek change and transformation of our state and the state of the world.
In Your wisdom, O God, pair their passionate conviction with honest
humility that recognizes – when it comes to seeing the truth, we all have ‘blind-spots.’
When they disagree . . . protect them from becoming disagreeable. Instead, may
even the most spirited debate be tempered by mutual respect, common purpose and
a shared God-sized vision of what Michigan might achieve and become.
Today, as we honor two veterans for their distinguished service to God and country, we are mindful of so many other, unnamed servants who continually make sacrifices for the greater good and for Your glory. Your people are the greatest resource and treasure of our state.
In this new year, as these representatives work together towards the realization of a better State, a better world, empower ALL citizens of Michigan to do our part in building Your beloved community of peace and righteousness on earth. Let our life together be a testimony to Your divine love and power; a living prayer of thanksgiving for Your gifts to us and an offering of gratitude and praise for Your goodness.
As a Christian, I end my prayer in the name of Jesus the Christ. I invite you to offer your prayers to the Great God of Heaven, in whatever way you understand The Holy One. Amen and amen.”

The Honorable Lee Chatfield
Speaker of the House of Representatives
Capitol Building
Lansing, Michigan 48913
Dear Mr. Speaker:
By direction of the Senate, I hereby notify you that a quorum of the Senate has assembled and is ready to proceed with the business of the session.
Very respectfully,
Margaret O’Brien
Secretary of the Senate
By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of
Motions and Resolutions
By unanimous consent the House considered House Resolution No. 209 out of numerical order.
Reps. Gay-Dagnogo, Garza, Hood, Cynthia Johnson, Jones, Kahle, Kuppa, Lasinski, Liberati, Love, Rendon, Schroeder, Shannon, Sneller, Sowerby, Witwer, Yancey and Yaroch offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 209.
A resolution to declare January 2020 as Human Trafficking Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas,
Human trafficking is a crime under international, federal, and state law, and
one of the fastest-growing crimes in the world, second only to drug trafficking
as the most profitable form of crime, according to the U.S. Department of
State; and
Whereas, Human trafficking is defined as the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of persons for labor or services through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery, and the inducement of a commercial sex act by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age; and
Whereas, Human trafficking is not exclusive to just one gender. All victims of human trafficking deserve equal respect and the opportunity to report that trauma without judgement; and
Whereas, To combat this form of modern-day slavery, the people of the United States, the federal government, and state and local governments must work to better understand the complex nature of this problem; and
Whereas, According to Rights4Girls, a human rights organization working to end gender-based violence in the U.S., African-American girls are disproportionately affected; Latino and Asian-American girls also experience unacceptable and disproportionate levels of trafficking; and
Whereas, We applaud the special unit designated to combat human trafficking in our State’s Attorney General’s Office and more must be done statewide to combat this growing trend. State and local law enforcement agencies must demonstrate a proactive approach to increasing awareness and prevention protocols and establishing community outreach efforts with civic, ecumenical, and community groups to keep our citizens safe; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 2020 as Human Trafficking Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We support and commend all work by individuals, businesses, organizations, and governing bodies for their important contributions to this commitment to end human trafficking; and be it further
Resolved, That the members of this legislative body encourage all Michiganders to use this month as an opportunity to educate themselves about human trafficking and be aware of how prevalent it is in our state; and be it further
Resolved, That we stand in full support of those victims of human trafficking who have yet to escape or be found and liberated; and be it further
Resolved, That we offer the gravest concern for those who have had loved ones become victims to human trafficking; and be it further
Resolved, That we commend those individuals who have been victims of trafficking and have survived to overcome the atrocity; and be it further
Resolved, That we support and commend all work by individuals, businesses, organizations, and governing bodies for their important contributions themselves to putting an end to human trafficking within Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
By unanimous consent the House considered House Resolution No. 210 out of numerical order.

House Resolution No. 210.
A resolution to declare January 11, 2020, as Human Trafficking Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Human trafficking is a modern-day form of slavery involving the illegal trade of people for exploitation or commercial gain; and
Whereas, Human trafficking is one of the fastest-growing crimes in the world, second only to drug trafficking as the most profitable form of crime, according to the U.S. Department of State; and
Whereas, The best estimates indicate that approximately $87 million per day is made off of sex trafficking victims; and
Whereas, Michigan gained national attention at both the state and federal levels after passing effective legislation in 2013 and 2014 to help combat human trafficking and strengthen victim rights, and was named the most improved state in 2015 for its laws addressing child sex trafficking, according to Shared Hope International. Michigan has gone from a rating of “F” in 2011, to a “B” rating in 2019 according to Shared Hope International’s Protected Innocence Challenge study. While this state has made considerable advances in fighting against human trafficking, we all must understand that there is still work to be done; and
Whereas, This legislative body encourages all Michiganders to use this day as an opportunity to educate themselves about human trafficking and be aware of how prevalent it is in our state; and
Whereas,
We support victims of human trafficking who have yet to escape or be liberated
and offer the gravest concern for those who have had loved ones become victims
to human trafficking; and
Whereas, We commend the individuals who have been victims of trafficking, survived, and have overcome the atrocity, and continue to support all who have dedicated themselves to putting an end to human trafficking in Michigan; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 11, 2020, as Human Trafficking Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

House Resolution No. 211.
A resolution to declare January 8-11, 2020, as Human Trafficking Awareness Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Human trafficking, a form of modern-day slavery, is a crime under international, federal, and state law; and
Whereas, Human trafficking is defined as the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of persons for labor or services through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery, and the inducement of a commercial sex act by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age; and

Whereas, The members of this legislative body encourage all Michiganders to use this month as an opportunity to educate themselves about human trafficking and be aware of how prevalent it is in our state; and

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 8-11, 2020, as Human Trafficking Awareness Week in the state of Michigan. We support and commend all work by individuals, businesses, organizations, and governing bodies for their important contributions to this commitment to end modern-day slavery. We encourage citizens to get involved with local efforts to raise awareness of and opposition to human trafficking.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Kuppa, Haadsma, Stone, Anthony, Elder, Cambensy, Wittenberg, Hope, Byrd, Chirkun, Kennedy, Brixie, Cynthia Johnson, Brenda Carter, Rabhi, Crawford, Hoadley, Lasinski, Hood, Sowerby, Coleman, Clemente, Guerra, Tate, Cherry, Shannon, Peterson, Robinson, Greig, Sneller, Ellison, Sabo, Koleszar, Hertel, Gay-Dagnogo, Bolden, Witwer, Camilleri, Love, Garza, Jones, Liberati and Rendon offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 208.
A resolution to urge the President and Congress of the United States to reauthorize the Older Americans Act and restore funding to Fiscal Year 2010 levels adjusted for inflation.
Whereas, The Older Americans Act (OAA) provides essential services that help older adults live independently, such as meal programs, home assistance, support for family caregivers, transportation, protection from abuse, and other services. State programs funded by the OAA must target services to the older Americans with the greatest economic and social needs; and
Whereas, The bipartisan OAA has been reauthorized numerous times since it was first enacted in 1965. Most recently, the OAA was reauthorized for a three-year period through the Older Americans Act Reauthorization Act of 2016, but it expired on September 30, 2019. Reauthorization has been passed by the U.S. House of Representatives through the Dignity in Aging Act of 2019 and is being considered by the U.S. Senate; and
Whereas, Growth in the population of older adults significantly outpaces OAA appropriations, and funding has not kept pace with inflation. The population of older adults increased by 23.5 percent from 2010 to 2017, and meanwhile, appropriations for OAA decreased by 16 percent or about $400 million in the last 18 years when adjusted for inflation. Funding in 2010 was $42.95 per senior in today’s dollars but has dropped to $27.25 per senior; and
Whereas, There is significant unmet need among older adults for the services supported through the OAA. According to a 2015 report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office, 24 percent of low-income older adults were food insecure, and 83 percent of them did not receive home-delivered or congregate meal services. Nutrition programs make up about 40 percent of OAA funding. Additionally, the report found that 2 out of 3 adults who have difficulty completing daily activities have limited or no access to home-based care, which can be provided through the OAA; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the President and Congress of the United States to reauthorize the Older Americans Act and restore funding to Fiscal Year 2010 levels adjusted for inflation; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, 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 Families, Children, and Seniors.
Reps. Hoadley, Calley, Garza, Gay-Dagnogo, Hood, Cynthia Johnson, Jones, Kuppa, Lasinski, Liberati, Love, Sabo, Shannon, Sowerby, Stone, Witwer and Yancey offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 212.
A resolution to declare January 2020 as National Mentoring Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The people of the state of Michigan believe the health, education, and social well-being of children is the responsibility of all citizens; and
Whereas, The people of the state of Michigan believe that, by strengthening our children through mentoring, we are building a stronger future for them, our communities, and our state; and
Whereas, The people of the state of Michigan understand that the efforts of one adult mentoring a child will help ensure that a child realize his or her own personal value and potential, and instill within them the hope for a bright future; and
Whereas, The people of the state of Michigan support relationships with caring mentors which offer youth valuable encouragement, motivation, and support to guide them in making positive choices; and
Whereas, Local success indicators show that youth with a caring adult in their lives are more likely to have a successful future and become a responsible citizen; and
Whereas, Michigan Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies are challenging state residents to step forward to volunteer to become a mentor; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, that the members of this legislative body declare January 2020 as National Mentoring Month in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That we pledge to urge citizens to use this time to better understand and recognize the need to help guide a local child to reach his or her full potential. Further, we congratulate Big Brothers Big Sisters for its continued success in helping meet the mentoring needs of children in our communities.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.

Rep. Yaroch, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
The National Fire Protection Association Life Safety code has been developed by experts in corrections and experts in fire protection to prevent the loss of life in detention and corrections facilitates. These experts have followed a standard making process that included period review and the taking of public comments. There was no expert testimony offered in the House policy committee that these fire exit maps have contributed to illegal escapes. Corrections officers and prisoners should be entitled to equal protection from death by fires as those in society. The Legislature should not amend the fire code, via the corrections code, without strong expert testimony stating that these lifesaving standards are not appropriate.”

Messages from the Governor
The following veto message from the Governor was received and read:
Executive Office, Lansing, December 18, 2019
Michigan House of Representatives
State Capitol Building
Lansing, Michigan 48909
Representatives,
Today I am returning Enrolled House Bill 4120 to you without my approval. HB 4120 would have allowed certain county road commissions to enter into a 30-year installment contract instead of the current maximum of 15 years. That policy change would provide greater financial flexibility to counties when it comes to building and maintaining roads. Nevertheless, the bill deprives larger counties—those with over 100,000 in population—of access to this tool. I fail to see a reasonable justification for this disparity.
Respectfully,
Gretchen Whitmer
Governor
The question being on the passage of the bill, the objections of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding,
Rep. Cole moved that the bill be re-referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
The motion prevailed.
The following veto message from the Governor was received and read:
Executive Office, Lansing, December 18, 2019
Michigan House of Representatives
State Capitol Building
Lansing, MI 48909-7514
Representatives,
Today I am returning Enrolled House Bill 4687 to you without my approval. The bills would have removed the Natural Resources Commission’s authority to regulate deer baiting and feeding, and instead would have allowed any person to engage in baiting and feeding during the open season for deer or elk, ignoring the will of Michigan voters, who overwhelmingly decided to give authority for wildlife management to the Natural Resources Commission.
I am fully committed to protecting wildlife, promoting public health, and maintaining a strong agricultural sector in Michigan. House Bill 4687 would have jeopardized all three of these goals because it would increase the risk of spreading disease among animals both in the wild and in the beef and dairy industries. As a result of my veto today, the commission’s deer baiting ban will remain in place, curbing the spread of diseases like Chronic Wasting Disease.
Proposal G of 1996 was a referendum on Public Act 377 of 1996, which granted the Natural Resources Commission exclusive authority to regulate the taking of game, and to use principles of sound scientific management in making decisions regarding the taking of game. It passed overwhelmingly, with more than 68% of Michigan voters in support. The commission’s ban on baiting and feeding is based on strong scientific evidence, which demonstrates that baiting and feeding disrupt normal wildlife movement patterns, causing deer and elk to congregate and thereby increasing the likelihood of disease transmission. The authority to regulate baiting and feeding should therefore remain with the Natural Resources Commission, the body charged by the legislature and the voters with overseeing the method and manner of taking game species in Michigan.
In light of these considerations, I am vetoing House Bill 4687.
Respectfully,
Gretchen Whitmer
Governor
The question being on the passage of the bill, the objections of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding,
Rep. Cole moved that the bill be re-referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
