Resolutions
Senate Resolution No. 138.
A resolution to recognize May 11, 2022, as Michigan Rail Day.
Whereas, National Rail Day is celebrated in May to commemorate the completion of America’s first transcontinental railroad on May 11, 1869; and
Whereas, Michigan is fortunate to have 3,465 freight rail miles operated by 29 freight carriers and Amtrak passenger service; and
Whereas, Railroads are a safe way to move freight and are working to improve infrastructure and equipment safety, reduce human error, and protect the rail network every day; and
Whereas, Technology including smart sensors, big data, and drones are used throughout the nearly 140,000 mile national rail network, while also ensuring infrastructure and equipment safety; and
Whereas, Between 2000 and 2021, train
accidents were down 33 percent and between 2000 and 2020, the hazmat accident
rate was down 60 percent. In 2020, the rail employee injury rate was at an
all-time low; and
Whereas, Moving freight by rail prevents 6.97 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions, the equivalent of planting 105.6 million trees; and
Whereas, Railroads help preserve infrastructure and aid in cutting congestion. Freight railroads take 4.7 million truckloads off Michigan roads annually; and
Whereas, From the auto industry and other manufacturers to mining and agriculture, Michigan’s productive freight rail network provides key connections to keep our state’s economy vibrant; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body recognize May 11, 2022, as Michigan Rail Day; and be it further
Resolved, That we recognize and celebrate the pivotal role that a robust freight railroad and passenger system is to the residents of the Great Lakes State.
Senator Lauwers moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
Senator Lauwers was named co-sponsor of the resolution.
Senate Resolution No. 139.
A resolution to urge Congress to pass legislation that would allow farmers, along with coalitions and trade associations representing farmers, to petition the U.S. International Trade Commission to temporarily waive tariffs on imports of fertilizer and fertilizer ingredients imported from Morocco.
Whereas, Michigan’s agricultural industry is vitally important to the state economy. As our nation’s second most diverse agricultural system, it contributes more than $104.7 billion in economic activity annually to the state. More than 800,000 people work in Michigan’s agricultural industry, and care for nearly 10 million acres of land; and
Whereas, Fertilizer is a critical agricultural input that is utilized by farmers to provide nutrients to their land and maximize the productivity of their farms. Michigan farmers require access to fertilizers in order to nourish their land and maintain production levels; and
Whereas, The International Trade Commission (ITC) determined that the import of foreign fertilizers injured U.S. manufacturers. As a result, the ITC decided to impose a nineteen percent tariff on imports of fertilizer and fertilizer ingredients from Morocco. The tariffs, which were implemented in early 2021, significantly increased fertilizer prices; and
Whereas, Fertilizer prices in the United States are now at an all-time high. Fertilizer prices had already been increasing due to factors such as rising costs of raw materials and increased demand for inputs. With these tariffs in effect, farmers who were already struggling to compete with rising costs are now faced with an increased financial burden and uncertain future; and
Whereas, Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to rely on imported fertilizer and fertilizer ingredients. For example, more than 95 percent of potash, one of the key components found in fertilizer, is currently imported from outside the U.S.; and
Whereas, Michigan contains the only commercial deposit of natural potash in the U.S. and the highest quality natural potash deposit in the world. The Michigan Legislature recently provided an investment of $50 million to establish potash extraction infrastructure in Michigan. Once completed, this project will help increase domestic supply of this critical mineral, thereby strengthening and securing the supply of high-quality potash for Michigan farmers, in addition to providing hundreds of full-time jobs and boosting Michigan’s economy. This will be crucial for the Michigan agricultural industry, as significant supply shortages and skyrocketing costs continue to burden Michigan farmers; and
Whereas, Legislation has been introduced in Congress that would allow a process for individual farmers, along with coalitions and trade associations representing farmers, to petition the ITC to temporarily waive tariffs on imports of fertilizer and fertilizer ingredients. With the price of fertilizer on the rise, this would help alleviate costs for farmers, as Morocco is one of the top five exporters of fertilizer to the United States; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we urge Congress to pass legislation that would allow farmers, along with coalitions and trade associations representing farmers, to petition the ITC to temporarily waive tariffs on imports of fertilizer and fertilizer ingredients imported from Morocco; and be it further
Resolved, That copies
of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate,
the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of
the Michigan congressional delegation.
Senator Lauwers moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The motion prevailed.

Senator Irwin’s statement is as follows:
Literacy—reading capably and without difficulty—is essential to success in today’s world, and that’s why reading is one of the most fundamental skills that we seek to teach in our K-12 schools. But if you’re like me, you’ve looked at our literacy scores, you’ve compared them to other states and nations, and you’ve found them lacking and you’ve known that we have work to do. So, today I’m really happy that we’re coming together to do some of that work. For too many of our students, our current approach is lacking and is leaving them behind. That’s because as many as one in five kids in our state experience characteristics of dyslexia. Too many of these kids are falling through the cracks and what the language in these bills will do today to help these students is to bring more phonetic awareness and more decoding skills into the general education classroom. These bills also piggyback on our existing read-by-grade-3 assessments to do a better job of identifying these kids who are struggling with decoding skills and to provide the training necessary—the training and professional development, both in our colleges and at the district level—to our educators to make sure they have the skills to identify and intervene on behalf of these young learners on their path toward literacy.
I ask for your support today in voting for these important bills to improve literacy and to focus on dyslexic students and students who are experiencing characteristics of dyslexia, and I really appreciate the opportunity that has been afforded to bring these bills up today and to work in a bipartisan manner to do something good to promote literacy here in the state of Michigan.

Statements
The motion prevailed.
Senator Hertel’s statement is as follows:
Colleagues, today is a sad day for those of us who have worked for the last two years with George Cook, the Governor’s legislative affairs director. Today will be his last day on the floor of the Senate. George has worked through what I would say are probably two of the toughest years that any Governor has had to face, and certainly any legislative director has had to face, but he has done that with honesty, integrity, and he’s one of those people who always keeps their word and serves the Governor well. He has gotten to work with great Senators like Senator Shirkey and Senator Ananich, and although he will not have those friends as he moves on, he will get to work with other greats like Tony the Tiger; Toucan Sam; and Snap, Crackle, and Pop as he heads over to Kellogg’s. We know that he’s going to be gr-r-reat!
George, it’s been an honor to work with
you, we have all enjoyed our time serving with you, we thank you for your
service to the people of Michigan, and we know that no matter what you’re
working on in the future—sugar content in cereal or God knows what is on the
Kellogg’s legislative agenda—you will always be a friend to those of us you
served with. Thank you.
Senator Wojno’s statement is as follows:
Today I want to take a moment to recognize Senior Action Week and Older Michiganians Day. Senior Action Week spotlights critical areas impacting older adults here in Michigan. Many from our senior community are here in Lansing this week to meet with us who serve in the Legislature to discuss their concerns, challenges, and opportunities. We as elected officials can act by advocating for policies that strengthen home- and community-based services, health care, food services, financial assistance, and more. Our seniors are a wealth of knowledge and a source of strength in our communities. We thank them for their time, dedication, and choice in making Michigan their home for many years and many more to come.
