Pastor Marvin L. Winans of Perfecting Church of Detroit offered the following invocation:

Father, as we approach You, we thank You for waking us this morning and for the opportunity to lay before You our petitions.

I want to thank You for government that is brave enough to acknowledge You, and yet humble enough to ask for Your guidance. As this Senate prepares to fix our roads, fix our education system, and fix our insurance rates, I pray that You would fix their hearts. And that they, as a collective body would look beyond partisan politics and do what is right for every Michiganian.

I praise You for the great state of Michigan, that You will prosper her allowing her to be a beacon for this country and, in fact, the world.

All of these blessings we ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.

 

The President, Lieutenant Governor Gilchrist, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Senate Resolution No. 38

The motion prevailed.

Senate Resolution No. 20.

A resolution to recognize myalgic encephalomyelitis as a serious, debilitating disease and urge key entities to improve patient care, prioritize new research, educate health professionals, and raise awareness about the severity of the disease.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

Senator Theis asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Theis’ statement is as follows:

Thank you for the opportunity to speak to you today about Senate Resolution No. 20, a resolution to recognize myalgic encephalomyelitis as a serious, debilitating disease and urge key entities to improve patient care, prioritize new research, educate health professionals, and raise awareness about the severity of the disease. I want to thank one of my constituents, Brian Shuell, who brought this issue to my attention and who himself is battling this disease.

ME, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome, has been identified by the National Academy of Medicine to be a serious, chronic, complex, and systemic disease that frequently and dramatically limits the activities of affected patients, leaving them with a lower quality of life. Overall, an estimated 41,500 Michiganders of all ages and races are affected by this disease. Nationally, it is estimated that number could exceed 2.5 million people, and globally the number is well over 17 million. Recent studies show that an estimated 85 percent of patients affected are women, and even more shocking is that up to 90 percent go through life undiagnosed.

This disease often persists for years or even decades because of a lack of treatment, leaving one quarter of patients homebound or, worse, bedridden. Anyone can get ME/CFS. While it is most common in people in people between 40 and 60 years old, the illness affects children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. Students are unable to attend school, and 75 percent of affected patients are unable to work, resulting in an annual economic burden of up to $24 billion in medical expenses and a lost workforce productivity of $9.1 billion. Altogether, this combines for a significant lost household and labor force productivity while preventing youth from obtaining the education needed to be contributing members of society.

The National Academy of Medicine has noted the lack of knowledge about the disease being due to a “paucity of research” and “remarkably little funding” while concluding that more research is essential. In fact, most medical schools in the United States do not have ME as a part of their physician studies and training. Furthermore, there is no approved current treatments, researchers have not yet found what causes ME/CFS, and there is no specific laboratory test to diagnose ME/CFS directly which results in most people going undiagnosed and untreated.

I ask for your support today on my resolution to recognize that ME/CFS is a tragic, disabling disease, recognize the commitment of the state of Michigan to improving the availability and quality of medical and supportive care for ME/CFS patients, and to encourage more research attention be focused on this deserved disease.

 

 

Senator MacGregor moved that rule 3.204 be suspended to permit immediate consideration of the following resolutions:

Senate Resolution No. 50

Senate Resolution No. 51

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

 

 

Senators Bullock, Wojno, McCann, Geiss, Irwin, Outman, Zorn, Schmidt, Johnson, Chang, Polehanki, Brinks, Bayer, Hollier, Santana, Ananich and Hertel offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 50.

A resolution to recognize May 17, 2019, as Detroit Bike to Work Day.

Whereas, For more than 150 years, the bicycle has been an important and integral part of the lives of most Detroiters; and

Whereas, A rapidly increasing number of Detroiters consider bicycling an environmentally sound, low cost form of transportation as well as an excellent opportunity to improve fitness and social activity; and

Whereas, The city of Detroit continues to maintain and develop facilities that strengthen its bicycle-friendliness and promote bicycling and walking as a means of transportation and recreation; and

Whereas, The Michigan Senate has already recognized the value of active modes of transportation and recreation with its endorsement of the Joe Louis Greenway; and

Whereas, The city of Detroit and its surrounding communities continue to partner with foundations like the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation to build more trails and greenways in order to provide both transportation and recreation alternatives for users; and

Whereas, There are many new opportunities to connect and build stronger communities through a network of trails and greenways as well as nonmotorized transportation corridors; and

Whereas, Bicycles are playing a large role in helping Detroiters get to jobs and school either as a sole means for transportation or in combination with public transit; and

Whereas, The Detroit Greenways Coalition is the host of Detroit Bike to Work Day 2019, and although this event is just one day, bicycling to work and other destinations may be a practical transportation option throughout the year; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That members of this legislative body recognize May 17, 2019, as Detroit Bike to Work Day; and be it further

Resolved, That we commend the efforts of the Detroit Greenways Coalition as well as multiple corporate and private sector partners to build a stronger Detroit, encourage nonmotorized transportation, link the communities of Southeast Michigan, and wholeheartedly encourage participation on Detroit Bike to Work Day 2019.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Senators MacDonald and McMorrow were named co-sponsors of the resolution.

 

 

Senator Bullock asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Bullock’s statement is as follows:

First in the west Gallery I would like to introduce Bob Wilson, former Senate staffer and currently the executive director of Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance, and one of my favorite people, Rhoda Fields, representing the president of Detroit Greenway Coalition, Albert Fields.

I thank you for the opportunity to present Senate Resolution No. 50 to recognize tomorrow—Friday, May 17, 2019—as Detroit Bike to Work Day. This resolution is part of a nationwide movement to promote healthy and environmentally friendly alternative modes of transportation to our daily lives.

Detroit Bike to Work Day will be a great event to keep Detroiters socially engaged, happy, and healthy on their daily commutes to work, especially considering Detroit’s evolution to be bicycle friendly. The inclusion of safe bike lanes and bike racks on buses for that final stretch and the urban planning has started to perfect the biker’s daily commute with the Dequindre Cut and such things. This tradition dates back more than 150 years and it continues to be the most environmentally friendly and efficient way to get from point A to point B.

As a kid, we didn’t have much money but when I got a bicycle I explored beyond my neighborhood—me and my friends journeyed beyond our financial stations in life because it’s free and fun.

So the annual Detroit Bike to Work Day celebration will be put on by the Detroit Greenways Coalition. It will take place at Spirit Plaza, Midtown, and New Center Park. Governor Whitmer, the mayor, and many other dignitaries have been invited to speak at Spirit Plaza. This event will coincide with Bike to Work Day all over the country.

Cycling is just good for the environment and it’s a great way to stay healthy, so I ask for your support on Senate Resolution No. 50.

 

 

Senator Hollier offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 51.

A resolution to recognize May 2019 as Brain Tumor Awareness Month.

Whereas, Brain tumors, specifically glioblastomas, have become recognized in recent years as one of the deadliest cancers; and

Whereas, There have been an estimated 760 new diagnoses of brain tumors in Michigan in 2019, and an estimated 600 Michigan residents will die from a brain tumor in 2019; and

Whereas, Brain tumors can be deadly and impact the quality of life. Brain cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer deaths among children and young adults; and

Whereas, In 2010, brain tumors were the highest per-patient initial cost of care for any cancer group with an annualized cost at well over $100,000; and

Whereas, Despite the amount of brain tumors, and their devastating prognosis, there have only been four Food and Drug Administration approved drugs and one device to treat brain tumors in the past thirty years; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body recognize May 2019 as Brain Tumor Awareness Month; and it be further

Resolved, That Michigan has attained national recognition as a leading center of excellence in the field of brain tumor treatment and research as a result of the number of patients traveling to the state for clinical trial participation, grant dollars locally used to create jobs, and professionals specializing in brain tumors across the state.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Senators Alexander, Bayer, Bizon, Brinks, Bullock, Chang, Hertel, MacDonald, McMorrow, Polehanki, Santana and Wojno were named co-sponsors of the resolution.

Senator Hollier asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Hollier’s statement is as follows:

I would like to speak to you about Brain Tumor Awareness Month and making May Brain Tumor Awareness Month. It is commonly known as glioblastoma and has been recognized as a growing issue in our state. More than 760 new diagnoses of brain tumors in 2019 affect Michigan residents with another 600 Michigan deaths just this year. Brain cancer is serious and we are doing cutting-edge work down in Detroit at Henry Ford Health System. It is incredibly important. If you know anyone who is been afflicted with this, you know just how devastating it is when you hear that diagnosis. Because of the incredible work being done by the doctors, nurses, and staff at Henry Ford Health System and a number of our medical centers across the state and across the country, Michigan is becoming a leader in making sure that when people get this diagnosis, it’s no longer a death sentence.

I’m very excited to have a number of guests who are here in the west Gallery who are both survivors and people who are committed to working every day to make sure that we have a cure and that when you get this diagnosis, you have hope that there’s a place you can get real care. Mr. President, I ask that you recognize the guests and staff, brain cancer and brain tumor survivors in the west Gallery.
