Dear Heavenly Father, we come
before You today humbly asking for Your wisdom and guidance in the important
work of our state government. I thank You for each of our elected officials in
the Senate as well as the State House, the Governor, the executive officers,
and our judges, along with their staff members. They have been given a
wonderful privilege and unique responsibility of representing the people of the
great state of Michigan. Their task is not an easy one, and so I lift each one
up to You today in reverent intercessory prayer that empowers our work.
Your holy word reminds us that
each of us are to, “Be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but
of God: the powers that be are ordained of God…for rulers are not a terror to
good works, but to evil” and these men and women are, “the ministers of God to
us for good” (Romans 13:1-4).
Your word also instructs and
encourages us, “that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and
giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in
authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and
honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; who
will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” (1Timothy
2:1-4).
So I ask You again today, that we
may receive Your words, and incline our ears unto wisdom, and apply our hearts
to understanding, for we know that “the Lord gives wisdom: out of his mouth
comes knowledge and understanding.” And then “we shall understand
righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yes, every good path” (Proverbs 2:1-10).
I pray that Your truth and spirit
guide each one in wisdom, in mind, in strength, in discernment, in judgment,
and in ability. I ask Your blessing on them, and their families, for the
sacrifices made in serving our people. Protect them, strengthen them, comfort
them, encourage them, sustain them. May we look to You, the God of eternity,
the God of all hope, the God of all comfort, the God of all mercy and grace.
May we honor You as we seek to help others in our care. We know there is
forgiveness with You, and we ask for it today, that Your blessing may rest on
us for Your glory.
Finally, I thank You that You are
a God who knows us and understands our weaknesses. You have promised us Your
presence and peace as we seek You and find You. “Though You are not far from
every one of us” (Acts 17:27). Lord, we need You and we call on You today to do
for us what only You can do that Your will may be done on earth as it is in heaven.
And I pray that every member of
every family represented here today may personally trust in You, and one day,
meet in heaven at the feet of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ in whose
name I pray, with thanksgiving. Amen.
The Assistant President pro
tempore, Senator Theis, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

EXECUTIVE

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

The Senate agreed to the title of the
bill.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Barrett’s statement is as
follows:
I wanted to just briefly talk about
some of the merits of Senate Bill No. 686 that is before us today. This bill
represents a codification of, I think, what we all believe should exist in
statute already, which is this basic protection for employees of the state of
Michigan—the tens of thousands of employees who go to work each day and work
hard on behalf of the taxpayers of this state—to make sure they can have open
and free communication with us as lawmakers. As we serve in an oversight role
of the departments and positions that they hold and as they work with us
collaboratively to make the best public policy we can and apply the best
resources toward solving the problems of our state, we want to make sure we can
have those open and candid conversations.
Senate Bill No. 686 allows state
employees to come forward to state lawmakers and communicate openly with us
without any fear of reprisal or disciplinary action by their department. I
personally, and I’m sure many of you have as well, had interactions with state
employees who have come to you about an improvement to their department or a
process they would like to see changed or some type of issue they’re facing
within the scope of their work. By us protecting that communication today, we
can ensure that going forward we will continue to have those open and candid
conversations.
I wanted to send a special appreciation
to the Senator from the 23rd District who worked with me on this, and I look
forward to bipartisan support on this bill.

Resolutions
Senator Nesbitt offered the following
resolution:
Senate
Resolution No. 104.
A resolution to oppose policies
that restrict the autonomy of workers and employers and memorialize the
President and Congress of the United States to support and defend the rights
and freedoms of workers and employers.
Whereas, H.R. 2474 of 2019 and S. 1306
of 2019, both known as the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, have
recently been introduced in the Congress of the United States. These bills
would amend the National Labor Relations Act to expand the influence of unions,
limit the autonomy of workers, and infringe on the rights of employers; and
Whereas, The PRO Act would limit worker
autonomy by eliminating state right-to-work protections. Right-to-work laws are
an important way to hold unions accountable and protect workers who do not wish
to join. The PRO Act would eliminate these protections in 27 states, including
Michigan, and force workers to pay union dues against their wishes; and
Whereas, The PRO Act would corrupt the
union elections process. The act would eliminate secret ballot elections and
expose employees to threats, intimidation, and coercion by union officials.
Further, the act would deny employers a role in the process, preventing workers
from accessing full information about the benefits and costs of unionization;
and
Whereas, The PRO Act would upset the
balance between workers and employers by prohibiting employers from replacing
striking workers and leaving employers little choice but to accept union
demands. This could lead to an increase in strikes and unrealistic union
demands that increase prices and threaten the long-term viability of
businesses; and
Whereas, The PRO Act would hurt
franchisors and small businesses by broadening the federal government’s “joint
employer” standard. By holding joint employers equally liable for employment
violations, the act will increase the risks for large businesses who franchise
or contract with smaller companies. The American Action Forum estimates that
this could lead to as much as $33 billion in lost output from the franchise
business sector; and
Whereas, The PRO Act would forcibly
reclassify many independent contractors as employees, taking away their
flexibility and autonomy. This would also hurt businesses of all sizes across
industries that rely on independent contractors, injecting uncertainty into
their business plans and burdening them with significant costs; now, therefore,
be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we oppose
policies that restrict the autonomy of workers and employers and memorialize
the President and Congress of the United States to support and defend the
rights and freedoms of workers and employers; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this
resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the President
of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of
Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
Pursuant to rule 3.204, the resolution
was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
Senate
Resolution No. 105.
A resolution to commemorate the
150th anniversary of the ratification of the 15th Amendment.
Whereas, The United States
Congress sought to correct an imbalance of power by expanding the national
voting privilege for white male citizens above 21 years old to include
African-Americans of similar distinction; and
Whereas, As a result, Congress proposed
the 15th Amendment to the Constitution which would prohibit the denial of
voting rights based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude; and
Whereas, On February 26, 1869,
Congress voted to approve the 15th Amendment which was then submitted to the
states for ratification. Michigan then ratified the 15th Amendment on February
3, 1870; and
Whereas, The 15th Amendment was
the first constitutional amendment to grant voting rights to previously
excluded Americans. This also set the precedent for fifty years later with the
adoption of women’s suffrage in the 19th Amendment to the Constitution; and
Whereas, For the past 150 years,
the 15th Amendment served as the primary defense against systemic voter
disenfranchisement endured by many over generations, while also becoming an
integral component to the establishment and preservation of the Voting Rights
Act of 1965; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the
members of this legislative body commemorate the 150th anniversary of the ratification
of the 15th Amendment; and be it further
Resolved, That we recognize this
historic action that upholds the fundamental, democratic principles cherished
by its timeless words.
Senator MacGregor moved that the
rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority
of the members serving voting therefor.
Senator Santana was named co-sponsor of
the resolution.
By unanimous consent the Senate
proceeded to the order of
