Rep. Thomas A. Albert, from the 86th District, offered the following invocation:
“On this the Feast Day of St. Thomas Aquinas. I would like to read a prayer written by the Angelic Doctor who was a most devoted servant of Christ and the Blessed Virgin. Afterward I will pray the Ave Maria in Latin as St. Thomas Aquinas would have prayed it in his day 800 years ago. May his words, the intercession of the Blessed Virgin, and the Divine Mercy of Jesus Christ help us to understand and follow the will of our Father.
In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
O most blessed and most sweet Virgin Mary, so full of mercy: to your love I commend my soul and my body, my thoughts, my deeds, my life, and my death. O my Mother, help me and strengthen me against the attacks of the devil. Beg for me a true and perfect love so that I may love with my whole heart your devoted son, my Savior Jesus Christ. And after him, may I love you above everyone else. O my queen and my mother, by your most powerful prayers, see to it that this love remains in my heart until my death, after which I expect you to conduct me to the kingdom of the blessed.
AVE MARIA, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, IESUS. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.”
The Speaker called the Speaker Pro Tempore to the Chair.

A resolution to declare January 16, 2021, as Restaurant Dine-In Day in the state of Michigan.
(The resolution was introduced and postponed for the day on January 13, see House Journal No. 1, p. 28.)

Rep. Damoose moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:
Substitute for House Resolution No. 7.
A resolution to declare February 1, 2021, as Restaurant Dine-In Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The House of Representatives is proud to recognize February 1, 2021, as Restaurant Dine-In Day; and

Whereas, There are 16,543 eating and drinking locations in Michigan, employing over 447,000 individuals and providing $17.9 billion in sales revenue; and
Whereas, The members of the House are encouraged to order in abundance and tip big in support of these businesses and their workers; and
Whereas, Restaurants have suffered greatly in 2020, and we want to help get them off to a great start in 2021; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 1,
2021, as Restaurant Dine-In Day in the state of Michigan. We honor our great
Michigan restaurants and hospitality industry.

Reps. Yaroch, Hornberger, Haadsma and Stone offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 17.
A resolution to declare January 31, 2021, as Omphalocele Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, An omphalocele is a birth defect that occurs early in pregnancy in which the abdominal wall does not close properly and some or most of the abdominal organs protrude on the outside of the fetus’s body through the umbilical cord; and
Whereas, It is estimated that a small omphalocele occurs in about 1 out of every 5,000 pregnancies and a large or giant omphalocele occurs in about 1 out of every 10,000 pregnancies; and
Whereas, An omphalocele may be isolated or may be associated with other defects or chromosomal abnormalities; and
Whereas, Despite the challenges a baby born with an omphalocele may face, many babies who are born with an omphalocele survive and go on to live happy, healthy lives; and
Whereas, Mothers of Omphaloceles (MOO) is a group of parents from around the world that was created to provide hope, support, and information to families with babies diagnosed with an omphalocele; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 31, 2021, as Omphalocele Awareness Day in the state of Michigan. We recognize and commend the Mothers of Omphaloceles for their courageous efforts to advocate for their children.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Hammoud, Cavanagh, Garza, Haadsma, Hope, Liberati, Sabo, Sowerby, Steckloff, Stone and Witwer offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 18.
Whereas, Michigan’s school-based and school-linked health centers (also known as child and adolescent health centers) have been delivering comprehensive primary healthcare, mental healthcare, and prevention services for over 30 years; and
Whereas, There are over 125 school-based and school-linked health centers and programs in the state of Michigan delivering a range of primary, preventive, early intervention, and mental health services to children and youth of all grade levels in urban, rural, and suburban schools across the state; and
Whereas, Children and youth served by school-based and school-linked health centers show improved rates of school attendance, enhanced scores on standardized tests, less absenteeism due to illness, and increased immunization rates, while having their wellness and healthcare needs addressed; and
Whereas, School-Based Health Care Awareness Month is a time to acknowledge the commitment and passion that school-based health center staff and parent/guardians show for all Michigan children and youth; and
Whereas, We also recognize the critical role these individuals play in improving the health and well-being of all Michigan children; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 2021 as School-Based Health Care Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Rogers, Brixie, Manoogian, Morse, Anthony, Brenda Carter, Scott, Hope, Breen, Thanedar, Brabec, Hertel, Steenland, Tate, Cherry, O’Neal, Lasinski, Stone, Weiss, Garza, Cambensy, Sneller, Clemente, Hammoud, Camilleri, Cavanagh, Hood, Kuppa, Rabhi, Pohutsky, Haadsma, Steckloff, Jones, Puri, Yancey and Sowerby offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 19.
A resolution
to recognize the 48th anniversary of the issuance of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe
v. Wade ruling.
Whereas, The House of Representatives recognizes the anniversary of the United States Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade, decided on January 22, 1973. This ruling affirmed that the Constitution of the United States safeguards the right to make personal medical decisions and that government should not intrude; and
Whereas, Reproductive freedom is vital to health, economic security, and the ability to participate equally in society; and
Whereas, Comprehensive reproductive health care, including safe abortion, is a vital component of overall health; and
Whereas, Like other medical procedures, the safety of abortion is furthered by evidence-based practices developed and supported by medical professionals; and
Whereas, Any regulation of medical care should be grounded in scientific evidence and improve health outcomes; and
Whereas, In the landmark decision Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, the United States Supreme Court recently reaffirmed the constitutional right to access safe, legal abortion, confirming more than 40 years of precedent; and
Whereas, One in three people will need an abortion in their lifetime. As such, safe, legal, and accessible abortion is an essential component of comprehensive reproductive health care; and
Whereas, Everyone should have access to comprehensive health care in the state of Michigan. The right to access safe, legal abortion is a right in name only for many citizens. State imposed restrictions keep abortion out of reach for many- particularly those who have been systemically and historically marginalized, such as Black and Brown communities and those with low incomes; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize the 48th anniversary of the issuance of the U.S. Supreme Court Roe v. Wade ruling. We denounce violence towards abortion providers and their patients; and be it further
Resolved, That we oppose efforts to undermine the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision by further eliminating access to abortion in Michigan and throughout the country; and be it further
Resolved, That the House of Representatives affirms that all people have the right to access reproductive health care services without fear of violence, intimidation, or harassment and no matter their color or income; and be it further
Resolved, That we affirm the right to access health care without interference in this state, including safe and legal abortion.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
Reps. Yancey, Cavanagh, Garza, Haadsma, Hope, Rogers, Sowerby, Steckloff, Stone and Witwer offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 20.
A resolution to declare January 11, 2021, as Human Trafficking Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Human trafficking is a modern-day form of slavery involving the illegal trade of people for exploitation or commercial gain; and
Whereas, Human trafficking is one of the fastest-growing crimes in the world, second only to drug trafficking as the most profitable form of crime, according to the U.S. Department of State; and
Whereas, The best estimates indicate that approximately $87 million per day is made off of sex trafficking victims; and
Whereas, Michigan gained national attention at both the state and federal levels after passing effective legislation in 2013 and 2014 to help combat human trafficking and strengthen victim rights, and was named the most improved state in 2015 for its laws addressing child sex trafficking, according to Shared Hope International. Michigan has gone from a rating of “F” in 2011, to a “B” rating in 2019 according to Shared Hope International’s Protected Innocence Challenge study. While this state has made considerable advances in fighting against human trafficking, we all must understand that there is still work to be done; and
Whereas, This legislative body encourages all Michiganders to educate themselves about human trafficking and be aware of how prevalent it is in our state; and
Whereas, We support victims of human trafficking who have yet to escape or be liberated and offer the gravest concern for those who have had loved ones become victims to human trafficking; and
Whereas, We commend the individuals who have been victims of trafficking, survived, and have overcome the atrocity, and continue to support all who have dedicated themselves to putting an end to human trafficking in Michigan; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 11, 2021, as Human Trafficking Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution
was adopted.
Reps. Hornberger and Witwer offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 21.
A resolution to declare January 31-February 6, 2021, as Catholic Schools Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, There are nearly 50,000 students attending 219 Catholic elementary and high schools throughout our great state; and
Whereas, The Constitution of Michigan states that “Religion, morality and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged”; and
Whereas, Catholic school parents pay tuition in addition to supporting their local public schools through their taxes; and
Whereas, Catholic schools comply with the same health, safety, and general welfare regulations required of public schools; and
Whereas, Taking into account Michigan’s minimum public school foundation allowance of $8,111 per pupil, Catholic schools save taxpayers more than $400 million in state spending annually; and
Whereas, Catholic schools instill a broad, values-based education, emphasizing the lifelong development of moral, intellectual, and social values in young people, making them responsible citizens of our state and nation; and
Whereas, Catholic schools educate many students who are non-Catholic, many students who are economically disadvantaged, and that a good education remains the single best way out of poverty; and
Whereas, With their traditionally high academic standards, high graduation rates, and commitment to community service, Catholic schools and their graduates make a positive contribution to society; and
Whereas, January 31-February 6, 2021, has been designated as Catholic Schools Week, with the theme “Catholic Schools: Faith. Excellence. Service.” as denoted by the National Catholic Educational Association and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops; and
Whereas, The common good of the state of Michigan is strengthened through the continued existence of Catholic schools; and
Whereas, Catholic schools provided nearly uninterrupted instruction to their students during state-mandated pandemic school building closures; and
Whereas, Catholic schools create a supporting partnership with each student’s family, encouraging the involvement of parents in the education of their children, so that Catholic schools form productive lives which benefit future generations; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 31-February 6, 2021, as Catholic Schools Week in the state of Michigan. We support the continued dedication of Catholic schools across Michigan toward academic excellence and the key role Catholic schools play in promoting and ensuring a brighter, stronger future for students; and be it further
Resolved, that a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Catholic Conference with our highest esteem.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Rep. Meerman offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 22.
A resolution to affirm the right to life of every unborn child in this state and call for the enforcement of all laws regulating or limiting the practice of abortion.
Whereas, A fundamental role of government is to protect the unalienable rights of citizens. This nation was founded on the principle that the right to life is among these rights possessed by every human being. Founding father Thomas Jefferson declared, “The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government.”; and
Whereas, Abortions reject the core moral principles of our nation by destroying innocent living and developing human beings who are no different than every born citizen of this state. Science and medicine have definitively established that each individual human life begins when fertilization occurs, which is a factual determination and not a matter of opinion or religious belief; and
Whereas, The state of
Michigan has a long and unbroken history of protecting unborn children.
Michigan has continuously had a law prohibiting abortions in effect since 1846,
as currently found in section 14 of the Michigan Penal Code, 1931 PA 328, MCL
750.14. While the United States Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade limits
the enforcement of Michigan’s abortion prohibition, it continues to be the
policy of the state of Michigan to proscribe abortions; and
Whereas, The people of Michigan have expressed their objection to abortions when presented with opportunities to change it. The people affirmed the prohibition on abortion in a 1972 statewide referendum which proposed to legalize abortion through 20 weeks of pregnancy. The referendum was overwhelmingly rejected with a vote of 61 percent to 39 percent against the proposal; and
Whereas, The Michigan Constitution was ordained to secure the blessings of freedom, among them the right to life, for ourselves and our posterity, which undoubtedly includes our children – born, unborn, and not yet conceived; and
Whereas, Abortion represents a failure of society to support and empower women to embrace their unborn children; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we affirm the right to life of every unborn child in this state and our support for the legal protection for each unborn child codified in section 14 of the Michigan Penal Code; and be it further
Resolved, That we exhort the Attorney General, all law enforcement officials, and state regulatory personnel to enforce all laws regulating or limiting the practice of abortion until such time that complete legal protection is restored to unborn children in Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor and Attorney General of Michigan.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
Reps. Beson and Meerman offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 23.
A resolution to urge the Governor and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to lift the suspension on high school sports and allow play to resume immediately.
Whereas, The COVID-19 Pandemic has upended nearly every aspect of the public and private lives of people in Michigan and across the world. The disruption of school closures in particular has had a devastating impact on students as they grapple with academic challenges and suffer from a lack of social and emotional benefits that traditional in-person schooling provides; and
Whereas, In response to the Pandemic, the Governor and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) have ordered various suspensions of both contact and non-contact high school sports for different lengths of time. Most recently, MDHHS announced that winter sports, including competitive cheer, wrestling, and boys and girls basketball, will be suspended until February 21st – a full month after the previous suspension was set to expire; and
Whereas, While the order is intended to be in the best interests of the students, these types of prohibitions ignore other very serious harms that students are facing from the continued suspension of high school sports. As a result of school closures, students are suffering from crippling isolation which is severely harming their mental health. According to a national survey of more than 3,000 high school and college students regarding coronavirus, 87 percent reported stress and anxiety, while 57 percent reported that their mental health had worsened. In addition, experts are concerned about potential increases in youth suicide and argue that it is critically important for teenagers to have regular contact with their peers. Allowing students to participate in high school sports would help reduce social isolation and could significantly improve their mental health; and
Whereas, There is little data available that demonstrates why the continued suspension of high school sports is necessary. According to the Executive Director of the Michigan High School Athletic Association, the negative rate for over 30,000 rapid COVID-19 tests conducted over the last three months with fall sports was 99.8 percent. Furthermore, without school sports, students will seek outside activities through club sports, which could potentially lead to a larger spread of the virus as students travel to various locations. In addition, other neighboring states have allowed their students to participate in winter sports for several weeks without any significant Covid-19 outbreaks; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Governor and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to lift the suspension on high school sports and allow play to resume immediately; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor of Michigan and the Director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
