Dr. Nathan Archer, Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church of Middleville in Middleville, offered the following invocation:

“Almighty God,

You are the One Who gives us life and breath. You are the source of all that is good, beautiful, and true. Out of Your grace You have given our country and our state many blessings and we thank You for them. Thank You for the liberties that You have given to us. Help us to be a people who use our God-given freedoms responsibly and wisely.

Sovereign Lord, I ask that You bless and help the members of this assembly.

Give them wisdom and insight.

Give them courage to do that which is right.

Give each of them humility, integrity, and clarity.

Grant repentance and forgiveness when needed.

Help this assembly to seek that which is truly good in Your sight. As they consider actions, help them to foresee any unintended consequences. Help them to make decisions that promote both responsibility and compassion among the people of our state. Help them to make decisions that strengthen families and human flourishing. Help this assembly to protect our God-given rights of life, free exercise of religion, and freedom of conscience. And help them to work together with civility and in good faith, seeking the good of the citizens of Michigan.

May the members of this assembly make the decisions that they will be glad to have made when each of them stand before You one day to give account.

Lord, please grant everyone here health and protection.

May they have joy in their calling.

And may You bless the work they do today.

In the Name of Jesus I ask these things. Amen.”

Reports of Standing Committees

The Speaker laid before the House

House Resolution No. 227.

A resolution to reaffirm the right of Michigan residents to keep and bear arms under the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 and the Constitution of the United States.

(For text of resolution, see House Journal No. 13, p. 180.)

(The resolution was reported by the Committee on Judiciary on February 18.)

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Rep. Wittenberg moved to substitute (H-4) the resolution as follows:

Substitute for House Resolution No. 227.

A resolution to reaffirm the right of Michigan residents to keep and bear arms under the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 and the Constitution of the United States.

Whereas, Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 clearly affirms a right to keep and bear arms. This provision prescribes that the primary purpose of the right to keep and bear arms is not related solely to hunting, but undoubtedly allows Michigan citizens to be able to protect their selves and families from the private lawlessness of other persons or potential tyranny of governments; and

Whereas, The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States clearly states that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” But the right to keep and bear arms entails responsible gun ownership, including universal background checks for all gun purchasers, mandatory trigger locks and/or gun safes in all houses where children under 18 reside, and the right to remove guns from individuals with an extreme “red flag” personal protection order filed against them; and

Whereas, The Michigan Legislature will not pass laws that would infringe upon the ability of Michigan residents to own and keep firearms, except as provided for in this resolution. The Michigan Legislature will ensure that legislation in violation of our constitutional right to bear arms will not be imposed upon the citizens of Michigan by either the federal government or itself and would view such infringements as violations of both the Second Amendment and the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we reaffirm the right of Michigan residents to keep and bear arms under the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 and the Constitution of the United States.

The motion did not prevail and the substitute (H-4) was not adopted, a majority of the members serving not voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Rep. Cole demanded the yeas and nays.

The demand was supported.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

______

Rep. Ellison, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

As a duly elected state representative of the Michigan House of Representatives, I have already affirmed my support and responsibility to protect and uphold the constitution of the great state of Michigan and the United States. Therefore, it is not a requirement now or in the future for me or my colleagues to vote on a resolution that ostensibly seeks to confirm my duly sworn oath of office.”

Rep. Kuppa, having reserved the right to explain her nay vote, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted NO on this resolution due to the following reasons:

1. Preventing easy access to firearms does not violate the Second Amendment.

2. Common Sense firearms safety provisions do not impede or prevent law abiding Michiganders from owning guns.

3. Pro-responsible gun ownership and violence prevention does not mean anti-gun or Second Amendment.

4. Our State and Federal Constitutions were not accurately quoted in the resolution.”

Rep. Wittenberg, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I offered a substitute to this resolution, but unfortunately, the speaker did not take a record roll call vote on my substitute. He did, however, offer a roll call vote on the resolution, which rarely, if ever happens in this chamber. Here is what I said as to why I think the language in my substitute is superior to the language of the resolution as passed.

‘All of us in this chamber swore to uphold the constitution of the great state of Michigan and the United States. Justice Scalia, one of the most conservative Supreme Court Justices, also swore to uphold the Constitution and he said in the DC versus Heller decision:

“The second amendment is not an unfettered right. Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited…”. It is “…not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.”

He went on to say: “Nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.”

So, as the Chair of the Gun Violence Prevention Caucus, we appreciate the opportunity to reaffirm our support of the second amendment. As we are not anti-gun, but anti-gun violence and pro-responsible gun ownership. Being pro-second amendment and pro-gun violence prevention are not mutually exclusive. As Antonin Scalia affirmed, just like on all amendments, the second amendment has restrictions. Even on the first amendment, we have slander and libel laws.

As responsible gun owners, we don’t want bad people to have guns and cause harm. There have to be mechanisms in place to prevent weapons from getting into the wrong hands.

I myself am a CPL holder and took my class from the head of a SWAT team back in my district. He encouraged all of his students to continue our training and education to be able to really handle a deadly weapon, saying that the class we completed was only the minimum required to get a CPL.

So this substitute solidifies our pro-gun stance, but also says we should encourage responsible gun ownership by implementing basic safeguards like

-Universal Criminal Background Checks so that we can keep weapons out of the wrong hands;

-Safe storage laws, to protect our children;

-And red flag laws, so that if someone is a threat to themselves or others, we can stop a tragedy from happening. We cannot wait until after after a tragic event and say we should have done something.

This is obviously not a partisan issue as I am a Democrat and Republicans from Donald Trump to Marco Rubio to Fred Upton support these sensible safeguards.

If we don’t accept this substitute to HR 227 I am offering today, we are just saying Michigan only cares about guns, and not preventing gun violence.

I urge all my colleagues to support my substitute so that we can show the country Michigan is a true pro-second amendment state that also cares about the safety and well-being of its residents.’”

Rep. Hood, having reserved the right to explain her nay vote, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

As a state representative who has sworn to uphold the constitution of Michigan and the United Staes, including the second amendment, I also have a sworn duty to enact laws that will protect the people of Michigan. The state must pass common-sense violence protection laws like those that would ensure violent felons and individuals, who pose a danger to themselves or others, do not have easy access to firearms.
I voted no on HR227 because it did not include a substitute amendment that was submitted to encourage responsible gun ownership and provide basic safeguards for the people of Michigan, such as red flag laws, safe storage laws, and background checks. Further, because the language was specific to ‘residents of Michigan’ rather than the more inclusive term, ‘persons’. Finally, because the resolution cherry picks language from the 2nd amendment, erasing important context framed by our country’s founders.”

Rep. Stone, having reserved the right to explain her nay vote, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

As a state representative who has sworn an oath to uphold the constitutions of the State of Michigan and the United States, including the Second Amendment, I also have a sworn duty to enact laws that protect the people of Michigan. Common Sense violence protection laws that ensure violent felons and individual who pose a danger to themselves or others do not have access to firearms. I voted NO on HR 227 because it did not include the substitute amendment to encourage responsible gun ownership and provide basic safeguards was not adopted.

Coming from a family of hunters and sportsmen, I recognize the legal right and responsibility of gun ownership. Common sense firearm safety provisions do not impede or prevent law abiding Michiganders from owning guns. Gun violence is a non-partisan issue that impacts our children and communities. Upholding the Second Amendment while providing necessary safeguards including universal criminal background checks, safe storage, and red flag laws doesn’t impede law abiding Michiganders from owning firearms.

Pro-responsible gun ownership and violence prevention does not mean anti-gun or Second Amendment. As an advocate for responsible gun ownership, responsible regulation includes restricting access by those who intend to harm themselves or others in order to prevent further tragedies. While I support the Second Amendment, I also believe we can own guns and reduce gun-related violence as well.”

______

Rep. Hood, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I support protecting vulnerable adults and elders from abuse, however, my concern over this bill is that amendments were proposed to clarify and strengthen the language of the bill and were declined. As written, this bill may result in an individual being charged and convicted of a 4-year felony because of an angry gesture or word, if it causes mental suffering of an elder or vulnerable person. A felony charge is too strong a punishment for a verbal offense. This bill, along with its companion bill (HB4265) could be used to victimize low- and moderate-wage health care workers and family members of individuals providing care to elderly and vulnerable adults.”

Rep. Stone, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

The language in HB 4254 & HB 4265 criminalizes non contact events, rather than battery. It also fails to define in statute mental distress creating overly broad potential for prosecution. While I support expanding protections for Elder and Vulnerable populations, I’m cautious of overly broad legislation.”

Rep. Cole moved that House Bill No. 4255 be placed on its immediate passage.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

House Bill No. 4255, entitled

A bill to amend 1974 PA 258, entitled “Mental health code,” by amending section 134a (MCL 330.1134a), as amended by 2014 PA 72.

The following message from the Governor was received February 21, 2020 and read:

EXECUTIVE ORDER

No. 2020-1

Prescription Drug Task Force

Department of Health and Human Services

Over the past six years, the average price of drugs prescribed to treat diabetes, heart disease, depression, and other common conditions has more than doubled. These prices are set with little transparency but with tremendous consequence. Many of the problems Michiganders face in health care are the result of the skyrocketing costs of prescription drugs – from plans that are too expensive, to deductibles that are too high, to vital medications too expensive for many people who need them.

No one should ever have to worry about choosing between filling a life-saving prescription or paying rent. But that worry is increasingly the reality. Michigan urgently needs solutions to this problem, and leaders must act quickly and cooperatively to find them.

The health and well-being of this state and its residents, communities, and businesses would benefit from a task force devoted to bringing transparency and affordability to the pricing of prescription drugs.

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 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 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 obligates the governor to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.

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

1. Creating the Prescription Drug Task Force

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

(b) The Task Force must include the following members from the executive branch of state government appointed by the governor:

(1) The director of the Department and a designee of the director from within the Department; or two designees of the director from within the Department.

(2) The director of the Department of Insurance and Financial Services, or the director’s designee from within that department.

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

(c) The following officers of the legislative branch of state government may also participate as members of the Task Force:

(1) Three members of the Michigan House of Representatives designated by the governor.

(2) Two members of the Michigan Senate designated by the governor.

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

(e) A vacancy on the Task Force must be filled in the same manner as the original appointment.

2. Charge to the Task Force

(a) The Task Force must act in an advisory capacity to the governor and must do the following:

(1) Analyze the scope and causes of the problem of high-cost prescription drugs in Michigan and the impact of this problem on this state’s residents, communities, and businesses.

(2) Analyze the way prescription drug prices are set in Michigan and identify strategies for increasing the transparency of that process.

(3) Recommend legislative and administrative actions that can be taken, and policy-related changes that can be implemented by governmental and non-governmental agencies, relevant to lowering prescription drug prices for consumers in Michigan.

(4) Recommend legislative and administrative actions that can be taken, and policy-related changes that can be implemented by governmental and non-governmental agencies, relevant to increasing transparency in the pricing of prescription drugs in Michigan.

(5) Provide other information or advice or take other actions as requested by the governor.

(b) The Task Force must complete its work and submit a final report to the governor detailing its findings and recommendations by August 15, 2020.

3. Operations of the Task Force

(a) The Department must assist the Task Force in the performance of its duties and provide personnel to staff the Task Force. The budgeting, procurement, and related management functions of the Task Force must be performed under the direction and supervision of the director of the Department.

(b) The Task Force must adopt procedures, consistent with this order and applicable law, governing its organization and operations.

(d) The director of the Department, or the director’s designee from within the Department, must serve as the chairperson of the Task Force.

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

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

(g) The Task Force must meet at the call of its chairperson and as otherwise provided in the procedures adopted by the Task Force.

(h) A majority of the members of the Task Force serving constitutes a quorum for the transaction of the business of the Task Force. The Task Force must act by a majority vote of its members.

(i) 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.

(j) 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.

(k) 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.

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

(m) Members of the Task Force must not receive additional compensation for participation on the Task Force. Members of the Task Force may receive reimbursement for necessary travel and expenses consistent with applicable law, rules, and procedures, and subject to available funding.

(n) Members of the Task Force must refer all legal, legislative, and media contacts to the Department.

(o) The Task Force will dissolve 90 days after issuance of its final report.

4. Implementation

Free access also must be given to any books, records, or documents in their custody relating to matters within the scope of inquiry, study, or review of the Task Force, consistent with applicable law.

(b) This order is not intended to abate a proceeding commenced by, against, or before an officer or entity affected by this order. A proceeding may be maintained by, against, or before the successor of any officer or entity affected by this order.

(c) Nothing in this order should be construed to change the organization of the executive branch of state government or the assignment of functions among its units, in a manner requiring the force of law.

(d) If any portion of this order is found to be unenforceable, the rest of the order remains in effect.

(e) This order is effective upon filing.

GOVERNOR

By the Governor:

JOCELYN BENSON

SECRETARY OF STATE

The message was referred to the Clerk.

The following message from the Governor was received February 25, 2020 and read:

EXECUTIVE ORDER

No. 2020-2

Department of Transportation

Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity

Executive Reorganization

Michigan has long been the hub of mobility, and for over 100 years, the economic fortunes of its businesses, communities, and families have been closely tied to that sector of industry.

Today, the mobility sector is undergoing a period of unprecedented change. To secure its future prosperity, and to remain the global leader in this sector, Michigan must keep pace with this change. This will require a concerted, coordinated, and sustained effort across state government, as well as productive partnerships with stakeholders in the public and private sectors.

The Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, with its focus on aligning and strengthening this state’s economic and workforce development activities, is well suited to serve as the locus of this effort.

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

Section 2 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 empowers the governor to make changes in the organization of the executive branch of state government or in the assignment of functions among its units that the governor considers necessary for efficient administration.

Changing the organization of the executive branch of state government is necessary in the interests of efficient administration and effectiveness of government.

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

1. Transfer from the Department of Transportation

(a) The Michigan Council on Future Mobility created by section 665 of the Michigan Vehicle Code, 1949 PA 300, as amended, MCL 257.665(6)-(8), is transferred by Type III transfer to the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (“Department”).

(b) The Michigan Council on Future Mobility is abolished.

2. Creation of the Michigan Council on Future Mobility and Electrification

(a) The Michigan Council on Future Mobility and Electrification (“Council”) is created as an advisory body within the Department.

(b) The Council includes the following voting members:

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

(2) The director of the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, or the director’s designee from within that department.

(3) The director of the Department of Insurance and Financial Services, or the director’s designee from within that department.
