Speaker Lee Chatfield, from the 107th District, offered the following invocation:
“Father in heaven, Lord, we thank You for the freedoms that we have in this country, that You have bestowed upon us. We thank You for the heritage and the principles that this country and our state were founded on. Lord, we thank You for the responsibility that You have given us as elected officials to ensure that those freedoms are secured across the state to every single individual.
Lord, I pray that this morning we would show courage. I pray that in the coming weeks and months we would be an example to those that we’ve been called to serve. Lord, You do tell us in Your word that there is no trial or tribulation or circumstance that we can go through personally that You cannot empathize with. I pray that we would find solace in that fact and I pray that we would truly work together in a bipartisan way to deal with the issues and circumstances that are facing our state.
Lord, You told us that You have not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. I pray that we would use that sound mind this morning and in the coming weeks to work collaboratively with one another, to work with Governor Whitmer, to work with President Trump, to ensure that everything we do is for the health and safety and well-being of the people that we’ve been called to serve.
I pray at this time that we would humble ourselves for the mighty hand of God, that You would exalt us in due time. I pray that You would exalt our state, I pray that You would exalt our country. I pray that each one of us here with a sound mind and approaching this, Lord, in a way that only You can give us as the father of lights to illumine on our minds. I pray that we would also show compassion for those that we serve. Help us during this time give us wisdom, give us discernment, bless the proceedings of this body today and in the weeks and months that follow. We pray all these things in the name of Jesus Christ our savior, Amen.”

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I recognize that the misuse of the emotional support animal rules as become a problem of ethics in the medical community and an issue in the rental community. I fully support oversight in the use of emotional support animals. However, I believe that this bill is too punitive in nature, and should be limited to fines rather than imprisonment.”

Motions and Resolutions
Rep. O’Malley offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 244.
A resolution to urge the President and the Congress of the United States to declare the waters of the Straits of Mackinac as “designated” for purposes of Great Lakes commercial ship pilotage.
Whereas, The Great Lakes are integral to Michigan’s environment, economic development, and recreation; and
Whereas, The federal Great Lakes Pilotage Act of 1960 established two distinct categories of pilotage on the Great Lakes – designated waters and undesignated waters – and authorized the President of the United States to determine designated waters. In 1968, President Dwight D. Eisenhower declared designated waters on the Great Lakes, including all United States waters of the St. Marys River, the Soo Locks, and approaches thereto. There have been no significant changes in designated waters since that time; and
Whereas, The act requires both United States and foreign-flagged vessels sailing in designated waters to be under the navigational direction of a United States or Canadian registered pilot to ensure marine safety and effective use of navigable waters. Further, foreign-flagged vessels operating in undesignated waters on the Great Lakes must have a United States or Canadian registered pilot on board to direct the navigation of the vessel or be available to assist in navigation if necessary; and
Whereas, Pilotage of foreign-flagged vessels on the Great Lakes is an important function provided by individuals with years of experience sailing on the largest freshwater sea in the world. Pilots are charged with the safety of the vessel and boating public as well as protection of infrastructure and the environment; and
Whereas, The Straits of Mackinac, an environmentally sensitive area of great importance to the entire Great Lakes ecosystem, is an undesignated water. The Straits are often congested with commercial and recreational vessel traffic. Additionally, the area has restricted visibility, narrow waterways, and important infrastructure including the Mackinac Bridge and pipelines contributing to the unique navigational challenges that exist in the Straits of Mackinac; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the President and the Congress of the United States to declare the waters of the Straits of Mackinac as “designated” for purposes of Great Lakes commercial ship pilotage; 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, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and the Commandant of the United States Coast Guard.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Commerce and Tourism.

Messages from the Governor
The following message from the Governor was received March 13, 2020 and read:
No. 2020-5
Temporary prohibition on large assemblages and events,
temporary school closures
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease that can
result in serious illness or death. It is caused by a new strain of coronavirus
not previously identified in humans and easily spread from person to person.
There is currently no approved vaccine or antiviral treatment for this disease.
On March 10, 2020, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services identified the first two presumptive-positive cases of COVID-19 in Michigan. On that same day, I issued Executive Order 2020-4. This order declared a state of emergency across the state of Michigan under section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963, the Emergency Management Act, 1976 PA 390, as amended, MCL 30.401‑.421, and the Emergency Powers of the Governor Act of 1945, 1945 PA 302, as amended, MCL 10.31-.33.
The Emergency Management Act vests the governor with broad powers and duties to “cop[e] with dangers to this state or the people of this state presented by a disaster or emergency,” which the governor may implement through “executive orders, proclamations, and directives having the force and effect of law.” MCL 30.403(1)-(2). Similarly, the Emergency Powers of the Governor Act of 1945, provides that, after declaring a state of emergency, “the governor may promulgate reasonable orders, rules, and regulations as he or she considers necessary to protect life and property or to bring the emergency situation within the affected area under control.” MCL 10.31(1).
To mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and to provide essential protections to vulnerable Michiganders and this state’s health care system and other critical infrastructure, it is reasonable and necessary to impose limited and temporary restrictions on large events and assemblages of people.
Acting under the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:
1. Beginning on March 13, 2020 at 5:00 pm, and continuing through April 5, 2020 at 5:00 pm, all assemblages of more than 250 people in a single shared space and all events of more than 250 people are prohibited in this state, except for assemblages for the purpose of: industrial or manufacturing work; mass transit; or the purchase of groceries or consumer goods. A single shared space includes but is not limited to a room, hall, cafeteria, auditorium, theater, or gallery. This prohibition does not abridge protections guaranteed by the state or federal constitution under these emergency circumstances.
2. Beginning on March 16, 2020, all elementary school buildings and secondary school buildings in this state must close to students for educational purposes through April 5, 2020. This requirement includes all public, nonpublic, and boarding schools in the state. This requirement does not apply to residential facilities at schools and childcare providers at schools.
3. Consistent with MCL 10.33 and MCL 30.405(3), a willful violation of this order shall constitute a misdemeanor.

No. 2020-6
Temporary restrictions on entry into health care facilities,
residential care facilities, congregate care facilities, and juvenile justice facilities
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease that can result in serious illness or death. It is caused by a new strain of coronavirus not previously identified in humans and easily spread from person to person. The risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19 is higher in older adults and those with chronic health conditions. And there is an increased risk of rapid spread of COVID-19 among persons who are living in congregate settings, such as care facilities. There is currently no approved vaccine or antiviral treatment for this disease.
On March 10, 2020, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services
identified the first two presumptive-positive cases of COVID-19 in Michigan. On
that same day, I issued Executive Order 2020-4. This order declared a state of
emergency across the state of Michigan under section 1 of article 5 of the

To mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and to provide essential protections to vulnerable Michiganders and this state’s health care system and other critical infrastructure, it is reasonable and necessary to impose limited and temporary restrictions on the entry of individuals into health care facilities, residential care facilities, congregate care facilities, and juvenile justice facilities. While these restrictions are in place, these facilities should, to the extent possible, facilitate visitations with individuals under their care by phone or other electronic communication platforms, consistent with normal visitation policies.
Acting under the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:
1. Beginning on March 14, 2020 at 9:00 am, and continuing through April 5, 2020 at 5:00 pm, all health care facilities, residential care facilities, congregate care facilities, and juvenile justice facilities must prohibit from entering their facilities any visitors that are not necessary for the provision of medical care or the support of activities of daily living, or that are not visiting under exigent circumstances, such as grave illness or imminent death of a family member under care in the facility.
2. Beginning as soon as possible but no later than March 16, 2020 at 9:00 am, and continuing through April 5, 2020 at 5:00 pm, all health care facilities, residential care facilities, congregate care facilities, and juvenile justice facilities must perform a health evaluation of all individuals that are not under the care of the facility each time the individual seeks to enter the facility, and must deny entry to those individuals who do not meet the evaluation criteria. The evaluation criteria must include: symptoms of a respiratory infection, such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, or sore throat; and contact in the last 14 days with someone with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19.
3. Consistent with MCL 10.33 and MCL 30.405(3), a willful violation of this order shall constitute a misdemeanor.

Executive Order 2020-6 imposed such restrictions. With this order, Executive Order 2020-6 is rescinded. This order imposes substantially identical restrictions, with the exception of certain clarifying changes to the visitation limitations imposed in section 1, below.
While the restrictions of this order are in place, these facilities should, to the extent possible, facilitate visitations with individuals under their care by phone or other electronic communication platforms, consistent with normal visitation policies.
Acting under the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:
1. Effective immediately and continuing through April 5, 2020 at 5:00 pm, all health care facilities, residential care facilities, congregate care facilities, and juvenile justice facilities must prohibit from entering their facilities any visitors that: are not necessary for the provision of medical care, the support of activities of daily living, or the exercise of power of attorney or court-appointed guardianship for an individual under the facility’s care; are not a parent, foster parent, or guardian of an individual who is 21 years of age or under and who is under the facility’s care; are not visiting an individual under the facility’s care that is in serious or critical condition or in hospice care; and are not visiting under exigent circumstances or for the purpose of performing official governmental functions.
2.

Enhanced restrictions on price gouging
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease that can
result in serious illness or death. It is caused by a new strain of coronavirus
not previously identified in humans and easily spread from person to person.
There is currently no approved vaccine or antiviral treatment for this disease.
On March 10, 2020, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services identified the first two presumptive-positive cases of COVID-19 in Michigan. On that same day, I issued Executive Order 2020-4. This order declared a state of emergency across the state of Michigan under section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963, the Emergency Management Act, 1976 PA 390, as amended, MCL 30.401‑.421, and the Emergency Powers of the Governor Act of 1945, 1945 PA 302, as amended, MCL 10.31-.33.
The Emergency Management Act vests the governor with broad powers and duties to “cop[e] with dangers to this state or the people of this state presented by a disaster or emergency,” which the governor may implement through “executive orders, proclamations, and directives having the force and effect of law.” MCL 30.403(1)-(2). Similarly, the Emergency Powers of the Governor Act of 1945, provides that, after declaring a state of emergency, “the governor may promulgate reasonable orders, rules, and regulations as he or she considers necessary to protect life and property or to bring the emergency situation within the affected area under control.” MCL 10.31(1).
Since the onset of this emergency, it has become apparent that some businesses and individuals are selling face masks, hand sanitizers, cleaning supplies, paper products, and other products that people might seek to purchase due to the threat of COVID-19 at unjustified, exceptionally high prices. To prevent such price gouging and help all Michiganders access necessary products during the COVID-19 emergency, it is reasonable and necessary to temporarily impose enhanced restrictions on the excessive pricing of goods, materials, emergency supplies, and consumer food items.
Acting under the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:
1. Beginning March 16, 2020 at 9:00 am and continuing until April 13, 2020 at 11:59 pm, if a person has acquired any product from a retailer, the person must not resell that product in this state at a price that is grossly in excess of the purchase price at which the person acquired the product.
2. Beginning March 16, 2020 at 9:00 am and continuing until April 13, 2020 at 11:59 pm, a person must not offer for sale or sell any product in this state at a price that is more than 20% higher than what the person offered or charged for that product as of March 9, 2020, unless the person demonstrates that the price increase is attributable to an increase in the cost of bringing the product to market.
3. For purposes of this order:
a. “Person” means an individual, business, or other legal entity.
b. “Product” means any good, material, emergency supply, or consumer food item.
4. This order does not limit or impair the ability of the attorney general to investigate, determine, or impose liability under the Michigan consumer protection act, 1976 PA 331, as amended, MCL 445.901-.922, or any other law of this state.
5. Consistent with MCL 10.33 and MCL 30.405(3), a willful violation of this order is a misdemeanor.

Places of public accommodation subject to this section are encouraged to offer food and beverage using delivery service, window service, walk-up service, drive-through service, or drive-up service, and to use precautions in doing so to mitigate the potential transmission of COVID-19, including social distancing. In offering food or beverage, a place of public accommodation subject to this section may permit up to five members of the public at one time in the place of public accommodation for the purpose of picking up their food or beverage orders, so long as those individuals are at least six feet apart from one another while on premises.
This section does not prohibit an employee, contractor, vendor, or supplier of a place of public accommodation from entering, exiting, using, or occupying that place of public accommodation in their professional capacity.
2. The restrictions imposed by this order do not apply to any of the following:

Temporary expansions in unemployment eligibility and cost-sharing
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease that can result in serious illness or death. It is caused by a new strain of coronavirus not previously identified in humans and is easily spread from person to person. There is currently no approved vaccine or antiviral treatment for this disease.
On March 10, 2020, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services identified the first two presumptive-positive cases of COVID-19 in Michigan. On that same day, I issued Executive Order 2020-4, which declared a state of emergency across the state of Michigan under section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963, the Emergency Management Act, 1976 PA 390, as amended, MCL 30.401 to 30.421, and 1945 PA 302, as amended, MCL 10.31 to 10.33.
The Emergency Management Act vests the governor with broad powers and duties to “cop[e] with dangers to this state or the people of this state presented by a disaster or emergency,” which the governor may implement through “executive orders, proclamations, and directives having the force and effect of law.” MCL 30.403(1) to (2). Similarly, the Public Act 302 of 1945 (emergency powers of governor), provides that, after declaring a state of emergency, “the governor may promulgate reasonable orders, rules, and regulations as he or she considers necessary to protect life and property or to bring the emergency situation within the affected area under control.” MCL 10.31(1).
To mitigate the spread of COVID-19, protect the public health, and provide essential protections to vulnerable Michiganders, it is reasonable and necessary to temporarily suspend rules and procedures to expand eligibility for unemployment benefits and cost-sharing with employers.
Acting under the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:
1. Effective immediately, and continuing until April 14, 2020 at 11:59 pm, strict compliance with subdivision (a) of subsection (1) of section 29 of the Michigan Employment Security Act, 1936 PA 1, as amended (“Employment Security Act”), MCL 421.29(1)(a), is suspended.
(a) Effective immediately, and continuing until April 14, 2020 at 11:59 pm, an individual must be considered to have left work involuntarily for medical reasons if they leave work because of self-isolation or self-quarantine in response to elevated risk from COVID-19 due to being immunocompromised, displaying the symptoms of COVID-19, having contact in the last 14 days with someone with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, the need to care for someone with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, or a family care responsibility as a result of a government directive.
(b) Effective immediately, and continuing until April 14, 2020 at 11:59 pm, an individual must be deemed laid off if they became unemployed because of self-isolation or self-quarantine in response to elevated risk from COVID-19 due to being immunocompromised, displaying the symptoms of COVID-19, having contact in the last 14 days with someone with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, the need to care for someone with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID‑19, or a family care responsibility as a result of a government directive. The employer of an individual covered by this subsection must seek a registration and work search waiver from the Unemployment Insurance Agency.
2. Effective immediately, and continuing until April 14, 2020 at 11:59 pm, strict compliance with subsection (3) of section 48 of the Employment Security Act, MCL 421.48(3), is suspended.

SECRETARY OF STATE
The message was referred to the Clerk.
The following message from the Governor was received March 17, 2020 and read:
No. 2020-11
Temporary prohibition on large assemblages and events,
temporary school closures
Rescission of Executive Order 2020-5
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease that can result in serious illness or death. It is caused by a new strain of coronavirus not previously identified in humans and easily spread from person to person. There is currently no approved vaccine or antiviral treatment for this disease.
On March 10, 2020, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services
identified the first two presumptive-positive cases of COVID-19 in Michigan. On
that same day, I issued Executive Order 2020-4. This order declared a state of
emergency across the state of Michigan under section 1 of article 5 of the
Michigan Constitution of 1963, the Emergency Management Act, 1976 PA 390, as
amended, MCL 30.401‑.421, and the Emergency Powers of the Governor Act of
1945, 1945 PA 302, as amended, MCL 10.31-.33.
The Emergency Management Act vests the governor with broad powers and duties to “cop[e] with dangers to this state or the people of this state presented by a disaster or emergency,” which the governor may implement through “executive orders, proclamations, and directives having the force and effect of law.” MCL 30.403(1)-(2). Similarly, the Emergency Powers of the Governor Act of 1945, provides that, after declaring a state of emergency, “the governor may promulgate reasonable orders, rules, and regulations as he or she considers necessary to protect life and property or to bring the emergency situation within the affected area under control.” MCL 10.31(1).
To mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and to provide essential protections to vulnerable Michiganders and this state’s health care system and other critical infrastructure, it is reasonable and necessary to impose limited and temporary restrictions on large events and assemblages of people.
Executive Order 2020-5 imposed such restrictions. This order changes the temporary restrictions imposed on events and assemblages by Executive Order 2020-5, in light of the most recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This order does not change the scope of temporary restrictions imposed by Executive Order 2020-5 as to the closure of elementary school buildings and secondary school buildings. When the new restrictions set forth in this order take effect, Executive Order 2020-5 is rescinded.
While this order continues to permit certain assemblages and events, these assemblages and events should only occur as necessary and in adherence with the measures needed to mitigate the potential transmission of COVID-19, including social distancing, proper hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette, and using electronic communication platforms in lieu of in-person interaction as feasible.
Acting under the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:
1. Beginning on March 17, 2020 at 9:00 am, and continuing through April 5, 2020 at 5:00 pm, all assemblages of more than 50 people in a single indoor shared space and all events of more than 50 people are prohibited in this state. A single indoor shared space includes but is not limited to a room, hall, cafeteria, auditorium, theater, or gallery. The prohibition on assemblages set forth in this section does not apply to:
(a) health care facilities;
(b) workplaces or portions thereof not open to the public;
(c) the state legislature; and
(d) assemblages for the purpose of mass transit, the purchase of groceries or consumer goods, or the performance of agricultural or construction work.
The prohibition set forth in this section does not abridge protections guaranteed by the state or federal constitution under these emergency circumstances.
2. Beginning on March 16, 2020, all elementary school buildings and secondary school buildings in this state must close to students for educational purposes through April 5, 2020. This requirement includes all public, nonpublic, and boarding schools in the state. This requirement does not apply to residential facilities at schools and childcare providers at schools.
3. Consistent with MCL 10.33 and MCL 30.405(3), a willful violation of this order shall constitute a misdemeanor.
4. On March 17, 2020 at 9:00 am, Executive Order 2020-5 is rescinded.
Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the State of Michigan.

Enhanced support for deliveries
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease that can result in serious illness or death. It is caused by a new strain of coronavirus not previously identified in humans and easily spread from person to person. There is currently no approved vaccine or antiviral treatment for this disease.

The Emergency Management Act vests the governor with broad powers and duties to “cop[e] with dangers to this state or the people of this state presented by a disaster or emergency,” which the governor may implement through “executive orders, proclamations, and directives having the force and effect of law.” MCL 30.403(1)-(2).

To mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and to provide essential protections to vulnerable Michiganders and this state’s health care system and other critical infrastructure, it is reasonable and necessary to provide limited and temporary relief from load and delivery restrictions on motor carriers and drivers engaged in the transport of essential supplies, equipment, and persons.
Acting under the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:
1. Effective immediately and continuing through April 13, 2020 at 11:59 pm, all state and local seasonal load restrictions are suspended for deliveries that meet immediate needs for: (1) medical supplies and equipment related to the testing, diagnosis, and treatment of COVID-19; (2) supplies and equipment necessary for community safety, sanitation, and the prevention of community transmission of COVID-19 such as masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, soap, and disinfectants; (3) food for the emergency restocking of stores; (4) equipment, supplies, and persons necessary to establish and manage temporary housing, quarantine, and isolation facilities related to the COVID-19 emergency; (5) persons designated by federal, state, or local authorities for medical, isolation, or quarantine purposes; and (6) persons necessary to provide other medical or emergency services, the supply of which may be affected by the COVID-19 emergency.
2. Effective immediately and continuing through April 13, 2020 at 11:59 pm, all state and local road agencies must exercise their authority on an expedited basis to issue permits that allow non-seasonal load restrictions to be exceeded. These permits must reflect bridge weight tolerances, and they must apply to deliveries that meet immediate needs for: (1) medical supplies and equipment related to the testing, diagnosis, and treatment of COVID-19; (2) supplies and equipment necessary for community safety, sanitation, and the prevention of community transmission of COVID-19 such as masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, soap, and disinfectants; (3) food for the emergency restocking of stores; (4) equipment, supplies, and persons necessary to establish and manage temporary housing, quarantine, and isolation facilities related to the COVID-19 emergency; (5) persons designated by federal, state, or local authorities for medical, isolation, or quarantine purposes; and (6) persons necessary to provide other medical or emergency services, the supply of which may be affected by the COVID-19 emergency.
3. Effective immediately and continuing through April 13, 2020 at 11:59 pm, all state and local restrictions on the noise and timing of loading and deliveries are suspended for loading and deliveries that meet immediate needs for: (1) medical supplies and equipment related to the testing, diagnosis, and treatment of COVID-19; (2) supplies and equipment necessary for community safety, sanitation, and the prevention of community transmission of COVID-19 such as masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, soap, and disinfectants; (3) food for the emergency restocking of stores; (4) equipment, supplies, and persons necessary to establish and manage temporary housing, quarantine, and isolation facilities related to the COVID-19 emergency; (5) persons designated by federal, state, or local authorities for medical, isolation, or quarantine purposes; and (6) persons necessary to provide other medical or emergency services, the supply of which may be affected by the COVID-19 emergency.
