Rep. Jack O’Malley, from the 101st District, offered the following invocation:
“Father we come from all corners of both peninsulas. Sent by the people to represent them, granting us with great power and influence.
My prayer today is that You guide us, to use the individual talents that You have given us, to do the very best we can.
We pray for our counter parts in the Senate and all seats of Government. And thank You for the opportunity to know Senator Tom Casperson...though we are sad that he is gone, we rejoice knowing he is with You now.
Please also bless and keep our loved ones while we are away from home.
For the Spirt You gave us did not make us timid, it gives us power, love and self discipline.
Let us use that to glorify You.

Motions and Resolutions
By unanimous consent the House considered House Resolution No. 335 out of numerical order.
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 335.
A resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for William R. Bryant, former member of the House of Representatives.
Whereas, It was with great sorrow that the members of the Legislature learned about the passing of William Bryant. He will be remembered as a dedicated public servant by his constituents in the Detroit area and the people of the state of Michigan; and
Whereas, A native of Detroit, William Bryant spent his career serving his community in a variety of capacities. After graduating from Princeton and the University of Michigan, he worked as an attorney and served as a member of the Wayne County Board of Commissioners before his election to the Michigan House of Representatives in 1970; and
Whereas, During his 26 years of service in the House of Representatives, Rep. Bryant focused his talents and energy on the areas of education and taxation, serving as the chair of the Education Committee and minority vice chair of the Taxation Committee. Rep. Bryant’s passion for education was made evident by his commitment to learning and growth, and his ability to understand economic complexities became invaluable to his colleagues. As Republican House Leader from 1979 to 1988, Rep. Bryant demonstrated an extensive knowledge of the House Rules that earned him a deep respect from members on both sides of the aisle. Rep. Bryant was known as an erudite gentleman whose presence conveyed leadership, thoughtfulness, and integrity, earning him recognition from his colleagues as House Republican Leader Emeritus; and
Whereas, After retiring from the Legislature in 1996, Rep. Bryant and his wife moved to Kiawah Island, South Carolina, where he continued to serve his community. He volunteered in second grade classes for several years and authored two books of stories and poems and a book on New Age politics. Throughout his life, Rep. Bryant continually found new ways to serve while demonstrating his commitment to and passion for learning and knowledge; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor
the memory of William R. Bryant, a member of the House of Representatives from
1971 to 1996; and be it further
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.
Messages from the Senate
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 34.
A concurrent resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for Jack Faxon, former member of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Whereas, It is with great sadness that the members of the Michigan Legislature learned of the passing of Jack Faxon. Throughout his long legislative career, he was a dedicated public servant and eternal educator who worked tirelessly for the residents of southeast Michigan; and
Whereas, Jack Faxon was born in Detroit in 1936 and was raised there, graduating from Central High School. He continued his education at Wayne State University, receiving Bachelor of Science and Master of Education degrees, and at the University of Michigan, receiving a Master of History degree; and
Whereas, After college, Mr. Faxon taught government at Southwestern High School in Detroit. Called dynamic, no-nonsense and fearless, he gave students the desire to succeed. In 1961, he was the youngest delegate elected to the Michigan Constitutional Convention; and
Whereas, Jack Faxon was elected in 1964 to the first of 15 sessions he would serve in the Michigan Legislature. He served six years in the House of Representatives representing part of Detroit in the 15th District. In 1970, he was elected to the state Senate serving until 1994. Senator Faxon first represented the 7th Senate District in Detroit and later the 15th Senate District encompassing parts of Oakland County. Jack Faxon was a strong voice and leader within the Legislature. In the Senate, he held the leadership position of Assistant President Pro Tempore from 1975 until 1977 when he ascended to President Pro Tempore, a position he held through 1982; and
Whereas, Jack Faxon’s love of the arts and commitment to education guided his service in the Legislature. He worked to establish the Michigan Council for the Arts, develop educational programs related to drug abuse and smoking, fund a statewide assessment program in education, and promote an examination of the Michigan community college system. As a Senator, he chaired the Joint Legislative Committee on the Arts and the Senate Education Committee. Senator Faxon was a member of the Joint Special Study Committee on Libraries and the Senate Select Committee for the Advancement of the Creative Arts and Humanities; and
Whereas, The arts and education were important to Senator Faxon both as a legislator and as a private citizen. He was a member of the Founders Society of the Detroit Institute of Arts, supported state funding for the Institute in the 1970s, and served on the Library of Michigan Board of Trustees from 1985 to 1993. In 1968, he founded the International School in Farmington Hills, a multilingual academy, serving as headmaster until recently; and
Whereas, Jack Faxon’s dedication to the people of Michigan, and all those who pursue the joy of learning, will not soon be forgotten. His efforts and achievements will continue to enrich our state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Jack Faxon, a member of the Michigan House of Representatives from 1965 to 1970 and the Michigan Senate from 1971 to 1994; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Faxon family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory.
The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.
The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,
The concurrent resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.

Comments and Recommendations
Rep. Cole moved that the following remarks be printed in the Journal.
Rep. Afendoulis:
“Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And to my colleagues and the staff of the House: thank you for being a part of one of the biggest honors of my life.
This distinguished body is just that—distinguished—even as so much in the political arena degenerates into the realm of mediocre and unremarkable, or into bloody partisanship. I am proud of a body that has so often risen above that, and I am grateful and fortunate to have been a small, brief part of it.
There are a few concepts central to Greek life that I revere, that make me proud of my heritage, and that guide my thoughts and, I hope, my deeds.
The first is called Philotimo.
Philotimo can’t easily be translated into English. It comes from the Greek words ‘filo,’ which is a type of love, and ‘timi,’ meaning honor. But it means much more than a love of honor.
It means living in a way that demands respect without having to ask for it. It encompasses integrity, dignity and duty and has elements of sacrifice and service.
An elder of our church defined philotimo as ‘that deep-seated awareness in the heart that motivates the good that a person does.’
The other concepts are: xenia and philoxenia. Xenia is the custom of offering hospitality and protection to strangers and it relies on a code that calls for the host to treat guests well and for the guests to do the same to the host. It is about respect for the other, even—and perhaps especially—if the other is a stranger.
Philoxenia is the virtue that drives that custom. It means living in a way that is kind and welcoming to someone who comes into your home or business or community who is different or who somehow doesn’t belong.
These concepts are important to Greek life and, I believe, to civilized society. And I hold on to them with great pride—and with the desperation of someone who feels us slipping toward some dangerous cliffs.
We find ourselves in a sorry state of political affairs in large part because we don’t take care of the other, and, in fact, want to destroy the other, and because we too often turn a deaf ear on the call to love our neighbor. In fact, we often don’t even want to listen to our neighbor—unless he shares our views.
But I believe we are better than that in this, the people’s house. And I have been so honored to have had the chance to work here and with so many of you.
Like my erstwhile seatmate, Annette Glenn, who moved to a loftier view when we created socially distanced seating. I miss having her here. No one is more prepared for an emergency. Need a needle and thread? How about pretzels or a tourniquet? Annette has them. Seriously.
She has been a good friend and colleague, as have the strong women of the caucus. I will miss serving with you and I believe in the things you want to accomplish and in your ability to do that.
I am grateful to colleagues who worked with me on bills, including the cosponsors of legislation that is bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars that the state was due and wasn’t receiving—a rare source of increasing revenue in this Covid economy. It was a win for small businesses on Michigan Main Street and I feel honored to have had the opportunity to get it done. I thank the constituent who brought the issue to our attention. I am just sorry I wasn’t able to get a ceremonial signing; it would have meant so much to him.
I am grateful to the Speaker and leadership who took a chance on a freshman and gave me the chairmanship of tax policy. It wasn’t on the horizon of my expectations, but I loved the experience and I hope I did well by the people.
I admire and thank my colleagues on Tax Policy, who were diligent in their review of the issues in front of us, even as we slogged through the thrilling issues of tax exemptions and the excitement of megacredits. And I am grateful to Reps. Hall and Johnson for their occasional yes vote.
And to Minority Vice Chair Tenisha Yancey for her collaborative spirit and for heartfelt and important conversations. I am sorry she is not here today; I care about her.
To my Kent County colleagues – Representatives Steve Johnson, Mark Huizenga, Tommy Brann, Thomas Albert, Dave LaGrand and Rachel Hood and Senators Pete MacGregor and Winnie Brinks—it has been an honor to represent our community with you. Rep. Johnson—I am not sure I have as much respect and affection for as big a pain anywhere else in my life. There’s your shout-out.
And Rep. Hall, thank you for your candor, which is rivaled only by Rep.
Lightner’s.
To the leadership of this body: You have steered us with dignity, sophistication, and wisdom. I’m grateful. Speaker Chatfield: I have been inspired by your thoughtful strategies and the grace with which you led even as our governor chose not to lock arms in a unity that could have healed and energized this state. If only…
To my children for their patience as I served and ran and returned constituent calls well into the night, and who suffered my emotions as I suffered with people losing their jobs, businesses, homes…: I love you. My service is as much about you as anything in this world.
To my big fat Greek family: I am so lucky to have this clan. I thank God for you every day.
To the sergeants-at-arms, who have made me feel safe every day I was in this building, whatever was happening outside its doors; to a deft policy staff, whose members clearly don’t sleep, skilled writers who had to write for a writer, which I know isn’t always easy, and to a legal team that I trust to do the right things—and to win.
To Derek Robinson, for his expert counsel in Tax Policy and for balancing hard work with being a dedicated dad.
And to the best staff I could have hoped for: Bryce Webster who took tender care of constituents, including the 100s who called desperate for help with unemployment. And Adam Erber, who expertly managed our office, our work in tax policy, and our many strategies, and who is loyal, smart, hilarious, and who did his best to make me look good, which often isn’t easy. And who kept me from getting tickets to and from Lansing by insisting on driving. Thank you will never be enough.
Finally, to the people of the 73rd: thank you, thank you. I valued every meeting, every phone call, every coffee hour, every opportunity I had to do what I could to be a true representative of the people. Thank you for sending me to be your eyes and ears. I hope I did well by you.
I am fortunate and grateful to all of you.
Because I don’t have a singing voice like my cousin, who closed his remarks two years ago with a song, I’d like to close with a poem. And I thank the wise and good friend who shared it with me just last week.
If—
BY RUDYARD KIPLING
(‘Brother Square-Toes’—Rewards and Fairies)
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!”
Rep. Crawford:
“Thank you Mr. Speaker…
In as much as I have been writing this speech for the past 6 years…you might want to sit down cuz this could take awhile! I didn’t time it!
It’s tough to sum up 6 years of your life in 10 minutes or less. Since my husband served in the House for 6 years before me…my connection to this House and Senate has been more like 12 years.
This morning I took a look at my horoscope just for fun and it said ‘Today, may be tiring, but you will sleep easy this evening once everything has died down’. That has worried me all day!
I never entertained an idea to run for public office, but I was invited to a Christmas party and was served a powerful beverage and by glass 3, I was considering a run for Novi City Council.
After that party, I called my 80 year old cousin in Nashville Tennessee…she was politically connected, and I told her that I was asked to run for Novi City Council and wanted to know what she thought about me running.
She said in her wonderful southern drawl…
‘Why Kath-a-leen…that will make you so much more interesting’.
I suppose she was correct…I do feel that I am more interesting now.
I have heard a lot of these farewell speeches over the years…some have used this opportunity to list all of their grievances, others have just recited a long list of names of people they want to thank…I have heard people cry through their entire speech…
I have thought a great deal about what I should say. First…every person in this room and all those I have met over the past 6 years, All of you are certainly memorable…at least as long as I have a memory.
My 6 years of memories here are too numerous to mention, but I will share just a few…
Six years ago when I got my committee assignments…I was excited to get put on the Health committee. At the first committee meeting, the room was packed with lobbyists who came to check out the newbies…one of the first things Chairman Callton did was ask each of us to introduce ourselves and share some information…
I thought it best to tell why I felt I was qualified to be on the prestigious Health committee…so I began to list every single medical procedure I had ever undergone…there were a lot of ectomys…lumpectomies, bunionectomies, hysterectomy by the time I got to gall bladder removal, hammertoes, breast cancer, 2 knee replacements and a hip replacement…I began to notice how quiet it was in the room…and then I ended with my final statement that I hardly have any original parts left…
There was a small clap that began with Chair Callton, followed by nervous laughter and more clapping. I don’t advise the use of this strategy to anyone new to a committee.
Chair Callton, played the harmonica and sang jokes…he was also a chiropractor and offered to provide adjustments in his office…I was afraid to go there!
My beginning was a little rough…right away…a tooth in the front just fell out…my dentist was very sympathetic…said he would give me a flipper until I could get an implant but he cautioned me that I could not eat or drink with it in…but at least it would look sort of normal when speaking.
Sadly I left the flipper in when went to a lovely dinner at the Lansing Country Club…trying to make an impression on all the people at my table and noticed they were just staring…realized when going to the rest room that my flipper in the front was half full of red wine…so I removed it and wrapped in in the napkin at my table which the wait staff removed…I lost four flippers in only one week
Rep. Dianda also hosted a group of us for the Dog Sled races in the UP…I don’t know how people live up there…there’s ice on everything…suppose they don’t notice because they drink all the time…when we went to breakfast and I was expecting coffee…we got Thimbleberry Margaritas instead…I could actually get used to that.
I am reminded of Holly Hughes who used to try to get me to be more
careful with my flip signs on the House floor…she was afraid for me.
I used THIS SUCKS…so much…it fell apart. Another I have used for Clerk Randall…I DON’T CARE…
I have frequently held up the YOUR FIRED on Johnson and Riley for their affinity for voting NO on everything! AND of course the perfect one for today LAME…figuratively and literally. I will leave this for my great seatmate Sue…she will be LAME in two years!
Sue and I have been seat mates now for 4 years…appreciate her more than she knows, since she always goes for stuff for me…lunch somewhere-cookies in the back room…she always brings two.
And of course…Sue knows CPR which I am sure was taken into consideration with my seat assignment.
Hank is right behind me in the Old person Caucus. We were both very suspicious of our seat assignments with a nurse at my side and an EMT behind me, close to the AED just outside the door and seats on the aisle wide enough for the gurney. A coincidence…I don’t think so!
Speaker Chatfield sat right in front of me for two years…who would have ever thought he would ever do anything like Speaker…he just sat at his desk for hours with his head down sending little love messages to his wife and his growing army at home. He was not home very often but seems like every time he went…a new baby was on the way.
Now, in the year of COVID, I think it’s the perfect time to thank Reps. Courser and Gamrat for getting me started…years ahead…on sanitizing my desk as well as washing my hands more frequently.
I have always enjoyed the CHARACTERS of the caucus…and we have a lot of them.
Rep. Iden as Chair of Reg Reform, always opened the meetings like a ringmaster at the Shrine Circus…
or Shep…Rep. Shepherd…who could make a living on stage doing impressions…he has got you all down pat!...or how about the greatest swearers of all time…Laura Cox filled the swear jar every caucus.
Pete Lucido…Senator Lucido now. He was so loud behind me, I had to get hearing aids in my first year up here. When I was primaried…he yelled across the aisle…Crawford…I know some GUYS that can help you…he knows a lot of guys from Macomb who can fix stuff for you! Don’t call him!
What about the Gigglers of the House…they laugh frequently…but mostly it’s an amazing bubble up of giggles. Julie Calley is a great giggler, but so is Rep. Hall and Rep. Lower and Affy…the first Afendoulis. O’Malley has a wicked sense of humour but has a difficult time keeping his hands to himself next to me in caucus.
My first seatmate…Amanda Price was also an awesome seatmate.
Floor Leader Cole had me arrested by his Gaylord sheriff. I had taken a bus load of senior ladies to Petoskey but stopped in Gaylord for lunch on the way home. There were wanted posters all over Rep. Kathy Crawford wanted for dereliction of duty…not attending session. His sheriff put me in cuffs.
Rep. Peterson I don’t care if you call every other woman you meet…the Lady of the House…but it certainly made my day when you referred to me as the Lady of the House.
HOLLA…Rep. Jones…I really thought Holla was your name for awhile til I googled it. I LOVE your optimistic Holla messages…plus you are the world’s greatest dresser and HUGGER!
Rep. Tate…I forced you to help me up on stage at the AARP conference…you were my hero that day and every day since… and if I ever fell down here…I was only going to call on you to help me up!! It could still happen!
One thing I discovered quickly, was that being female politician is much more difficult…we have so much more to be critical of…we are too heavy or too thin, too old too young, too much make up or no make up at all…too low of a blouse…too high of a dress…pants too tight…hair too long or too short…too much bling or too boring looking…voice too childlike or too harsh…and more.
You Men can just throw on the same suit everyday wear a different tie…comb your hair if you have any… cut your eyebrows back, shave your ears, and…that’s it!!!
When I first came here…Being an older woman…I found it particularly challenging to appear perky among so many of you who were younger than my grandchildren.
Unexpected stuff happens when you get older…I lost my eyebrows 25 years ago…have no idea where they went…suppose it was such vigorous plucking as a teen…so I have to pencil them in everyday…and you cannot imagine how difficult it is to get them the same on both sides of my face.
I’ve seen little old ladies laid out at the funeral home looking so surprised to be there…I have had to work hard to avoid that look. And that’s just one little thing.
And of course…I have so many more wrinkles than you all…as well as floppy skin…but I have discovered that the floppy skin parts sometimes works in my favor since it keeps moving after I am already stopped…so I think it makes me look a little more active than I really am.
For the past year…people have been asking me…what in the world are you going to do after this?
Actually, at almost age 80…I’m flattered that anyone thinks I will be
capable to do anything when I leave here. I imagine…some of you believe that I
should just leave here in two weeks and drive directly to Rep. Wakeman’s
Funeral Home and just wait there…shouldn’t be long.
There is so much I wish I could say about how much I will miss you all, particularly my staff…Mindy and Cara and all the amazing and talented policy gurus…like Jared, Phil, and Brian…Leadership, Clerks, the very very FUN Alice, and my awesome Families, Children, and Seniors Committee members.
As people get older, they are often told in subtle and not so subtle ways that they don’t matter anymore…I am more than grateful to all of you here. You have communicated to me daily…that I have had value.
Speaker Chatfield…many thanks to you for giving me the opportunity to be a Chairman and for all of the times you have respected my viewpoint.
It is my hope that all of you here will keep a memory of me for awhile and smile. I will enthusiastically be cheering for all of you…from my recliner, as you move forward into the 101st State Legislature and beyond.

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Love, Brenda Carter, Bolden, Anthony, Yancey, Garza, Gay-Dagnogo, Hope, Cynthia Johnson, Koleszar, Kuppa, Pohutsky, Sneller, Sowerby, Wittenberg and Witwer offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 325.
A resolution to declare November 12, 2020, as Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated Founders’ Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated was founded on the campus of Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1922 in the epicenter of the Ku Klux Klan. It’s the first and only historically black sorority formed at a predominately white institution; and
Whereas, The seven educators who founded Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated envisioned an organization for African American women steeped in the bounds of sisterhood dedicated to uplifting the community through community service, education, civil, and social action; and
Whereas, This organization of diverse professional women is dedicated to the encouragement and promotion of high scholastic attainment, community service, and improved quality of life through its chapters, members, and affiliates located through the United States, Korea, Bermuda, Africa, Bahamas, Canada, the Caribbean, Germany, and United Arab Emirates; and
Whereas, Through programing, education, and advocacy, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated has become a leading national service organization working to address socioeconomic issues that impact our communities in the U.S. and globally through programs such as Swim 1922, Project Cradle Care, Wee Savers, Operation Big Bookbag, and our annual Youth Symposium; and
Whereas, The Women of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated is celebrating its 97th anniversary during this year; and
Whereas, Michigan hosts over 18 Sigma Gamma Rho chapters which are located on college and university campuses and have active alumnae chapters throughout the state that lend their time and talents to enrich and enhance the fabric of our state.
Whereas, The central region is home to chapters serving Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, in addition to the Canadian divisions of Windsor, Ontario and west to Saskatchewan, Baffin Islands, Greenland, Iceland, Queen Elizabeth Islands and Germany; and
Whereas, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated members have made their mark in every aspect of life. Sone notable members include Hattie McDaniel, the first African-American to win an Academy Award, actors Victoria Rowell and Anna Maria Horsford, and rap pioneer MC Lyte. Rep. Leslie Love is the first member of Sigma Gamma Rho to serve in the Michigan House of Representative and the only currently serving in the 100th Legislature; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare November 12, 2020, as Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated Founders’ Day in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Reps. Kahle, O’Malley, Clemente, Garza, Gay-Dagnogo, Cynthia Johnson, Kuppa, Love and Witwer offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 326.
A resolution to declare November 2020 as Adoption Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Children thrive in loving families where they are nurtured, comforted, and protected; and
Whereas, It is important to recognize the valuable contributions of individuals who travel the rewarding journey of adoption by providing love, guidance, and hope for children whose lives have been filled with change and uncertainty. It is also important to recognize the choice of adoption for women as a loving option when faced with unplanned pregnancies; and
Whereas, We are committed to working as a partner with social service agencies, organizations in communities, and child advocates to help recruit and support adoptive families who make a difference in developing positive outcomes for our children; and
Whereas, Finding nurturing permanent homes for waiting children is a worthy objective to work toward throughout the year. During November, special efforts are made to instill a greater perception of the need for adoptive families and the choice of adoption; and
Whereas, Communities across the nation observe National Adoption Month to raise awareness and encourage citizens to become involved in the lives of these youth as adoptive parents, volunteers, or mentors. We understand the importance of adoption and honor those who choose an adoption plan and those who provide children with a loving home; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare November 2020 as Adoption Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We call upon all citizens to observe this occasion.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Reps. Crawford, Garza, Gay-Dagnogo, Hope, Cynthia Johnson, Koleszar, Kuppa, Love, Pohutsky, Sabo, Sneller, Wittenberg, Witwer and Yaroch offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 327.
A resolution to declare November 12, 2020, as POW/MIA Recognition Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The United States has fought in many wars. Thousands of Americans who served in those wars were captured by the enemy or listed as missing in action; and
Whereas, It has always been the creed of those who wear a military uniform never to leave a fallen comrade on the battlefield. On this day we pay tribute to those who are missing in action or have been taken prisoner of war and never returned home; and
Whereas, To date, a total of 81,432 Americans are listed as prisoners of war or missing in action since World War II. This includes 72,000 in World War II, 7,800 in the Korean War, 1,500 in Vietnam, 126 in the Cold War, and 6 in Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom; and
Whereas, We as a nation can never collectively rest until we account for all those men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice to their country; and
Whereas, We express our deepest gratitude to these patriots in both words and actions, knowing they were fighting to protect our rights and freedoms; and
Whereas, Many American prisoners of war were subjected to brutal and inhuman treatment by their enemy captors in violation of international codes and customs for the treatment of prisoners of war. Many such prisoners of war died from such treatment; and
Whereas, Many of these Americans are still missing and unaccounted for and the uncertainty surrounding their fates has caused their families to suffer acute hardship. Their work will not be complete, nor will our commitment be fulfilled, until they come home; and
Whereas, The stark MIA/POW flag will fly proudly near the U.S. and state of Michigan flags on September 25, serving as a commanding reminder that the duty of those who are missing in action or prisoners of war is finished, but ours continues as we seek to find, repatriate, and honor these courageous men and women; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare November 12, 2020, as POW/MIA Recognition Day in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Reps. Hall, Gay-Dagnogo and Cynthia Johnson offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 328.
A resolution
to declare December 4, 2020, as Pallister-Killian Syndrome Awareness Day in the
state of Michigan.
Whereas, Pallister-Killian Syndrome (PKS) is a rare genetic disorder resulting from the double duplication of the short arm of chromosome 12, causing children to suffer low muscle tone, seizures, global development delays, hearing and vision loss, and other conditions; and
Whereas, PKS happens randomly at conception and for no known reason. It is thought that there are fewer than 300 diagnosed cases in the world. However, many doctors believe that the incidences of PKS are much higher as possibly as many as 2,000 cases exist in the United States alone. Improper testing methods and lack of awareness of this condition is the main cause for the undiagnosed cases; and
Whereas, It is the goal of this resolution to promote research, education, and raise awareness within the medical community to ensure early diagnoses of children with PKS; and
Whereas, Increased awareness of this condition will help families and caregivers of children with PKS acquire the resources and support they need to manage this disorder; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare December 4, 2020, as Pallister-Killian Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Reps. Anthony, Clemente, Garza, Gay-Dagnogo, Hope, Cynthia Johnson, Koleszar, Kuppa, Love, Pohutsky, Sabo, Sneller, Sowerby, Stone, Wittenberg and Witwer offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 329.
A resolution to declare December 1, 2020 as HIV/AIDS Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks the human immune system. While there is not yet a cure, the disease can be controlled with early detection and medical care. There are three stages of HIV: stage 1 HIV or acute HIV infection; stage 2 or chronic HIV infection; and stage 3 or symptomatic HIV infection, referred to as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) by the Centers for Disease Control; and
Whereas, World AIDS Day was first observed in 1988 through partnership between the World Health Organization and the United Nations as a means of raising awareness of the disease, encouraging increased action to combat the disease, and rejecting HIV stigma. Nationwide, approximately 1.2 million people are living with HIV. In January of 2019, there were 16,306 Michiganders living with an HIV infection and 8,305 living with stage 3 HIV infections; and
Whereas, Time has shown that HIV has disproportionately impacted communities of color, racial and ethnic minorities, and gay and bisexual men. In 2018, Blacks/African Americans accounted for 42% of HIV diagnoses while representing only 13% of the population, with Hispanics/Latinos accounting for 27% of new HIV diagnoses and 18% of the population. Out of the 37,968 new HIV diagnoses nationwide in 2018, Black/African American gay, bisexual, or other men who have sex with men (MSM) accounted for 25% of these diagnoses, while Hispanic/Latino MSM make up about 20% of these diagnoses. HIV rates are also disproportionately high among American Indian and Alaska Natives, Asians, and Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders.
Whereas, In Michigan, Black men are disproportionately impacted by HIV. In January 2019, Black Michigan residents accounted for 56% of reported HIV infections, but only make up 14% of the state population. In contrast, White Michigan residents are relatively less likely to have a reported HIV infection. They make up 34% of total reported HIV infections despite making up 75% of the Michigan population; and
Whereas, While the widespread use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has improved the outlook for those living with HIV/AIDS over time, it is estimated that one in seven people living with HIV are unaware of their infection and need testing. The CDC estimates approximately 50,000 new HIV infections occur each year, many of which stem from individuals who do not know they are HIV-positive. Increasing prevention and testing frequency will ensure everyone at high risk for HIV infection is tested so they can receive the treatment needed to avoid spreading the disease or contracting AIDS. The MI Department of Health and Human Services HIV Community Partnership and Prevention Unit works with a network of external partners to offer education, testing, and treatment services to individuals at risk of contracting HIV or developing AIDS; and
Whereas, Federal and state efforts to address racial equity in health outcomes include the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, the US Department of Health and Human Services’ Minority HIV/AIDS Fund; and
Whereas, As we reflect on the theme of World AIDS Day 2020, this
legislative body will take steps to embody the goals of “global solidarity,
shared responsibility.” The state of Michigan is committed to upholding health
care as a human right and ensuring everyone has equal access to care, no matter
their race, socioeconomic status, gender, or sexual orientation; therefore, be
it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare December 1, 2020 as HIV/AIDS Awareness Day in the state of Michigan. We urge all Michiganders to do their part to end the negative stigma surrounding HIV, encourage increased testing and access to treatment, and support those who are living with the disease; and be it further
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Rep. Anthony moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:
Substitute for House Resolution No. 329.

House Resolution No. 330.
A resolution to recognize the historic, cultural, and religious significance of the Festival of Diwali.
Whereas, Diwali is celebrated annually every autumn by Hindus, Sikhs, and Jains in Michigan, the United States, and throughout the world, with over 1 billion celebrants marking the holiday; and
Whereas, Diwali is a holy day, during which celebrants light small oil lamps and place them around the home. The lighting of lamps is followed by prayers for attainment of health, wealth, knowledge, peace, and valor, and is recognized as the beginning of a new year for some Hindus; and
Whereas, The word “Diwali” is a shortened version of the Sanskrit word “Deepavali”, which means “a row of lamps”; and in English is referred to as the “Festival of Lights;” and
Whereas, Celebrants of Diwali believe that the rows of lamps symbolize the light within the individual that rids the soul of the darkness of ignorance; and
Whereas, For Hindus, Diwali is a celebration of the belief that light triumphs over darkness and good triumphs over evil; and
Whereas, For Sikhs, Diwali is feted as the day that the sixth founding Sikh Guru, or revered teacher, Guru Hargobind, was released from captivity by the Mughal Emperor Jehangir; and
Whereas, For Jains, Diwali marks the anniversary of the attainment of moksha or liberation by Lord Mahavira, the last of the Tirthankaras, who were the great teachers of Jain dharma, at the end of his life in 527 B.C.; and
Whereas, Michigan remains resolute in its commitment to continue fostering diversity of experience and religious acceptance and Diwali is a time marked by qualities of togetherness, family, and community; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize the historic, cultural, and religious significance of the Festival of Diwali. We recognize the Diwali message of tolerance, compassion, and acceptance of others which resonates with the ideals of the American spirit; and be it further
Resolved, That we express respect and admiration to all those who celebrate the Diwali Festival throughout the world and in our own communities; and be it further
Resolved, That we call upon public officials and the citizens of Michigan to acknowledge and appreciate those who celebrate Diwali and the peace and prosperity that the holiday signifies.
