Rep. Andrew Fink, from the 58th District, offered the following invocation:
“Lord God, as I pray for all who are in authority, I thank You especially for the form of government You have given us in our beloved state and country. Give us the grace with our fellow citizens to value the officers and the magistrates of our government as those sent by You. Instill in us the respect and honor that is due them. Lord, endow us with the wisdom for our several duties, with a spirit of sacrifice for the common welfare, with mercy and justice, with uprightness and kindliness. Correct the evils of selfishness, greed, and vain desire for honor, or abuse of power among us, as well as in all other governments around the world. Grant that the true purposes of government may prevail, safeguarding peace and prosperity, so that we may live soberly and uprightly in Your sight. Defend us against all assaults of the evil one against mind and body which would sow chaos and discord across our land. Send Your Holy Spirit to grant us good counsel and wisdom in our vocations this day, ever increasing and preserving the warm affections of union among us. These petitions we direct to You, the author and defender of every blessing and good. Amen.”
Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Tate, Lasinski, Hope, Tyrone Carter, Koleszar, Manoogian, Neeley, Brabec, Kuppa, Sowerby, Stone, Weiss, O’Neal, Brenda Carter, Rogers, Brixie, Sabo, Breen, Whitsett, Anthony, Aiyash, Garza, Haadsma, Hammoud, Morse and Sneller offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 81.
A resolution to urge the United States Congress and the President of the United States to pass H.R. 1 or a similar policy measure to protect democracy, access, integrity, and security in this country’s electoral system.
Whereas, Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. Voting is not a privilege; it is one of the single most fundamental rights that can be exercised in a democracy and one that should be protected and championed; and
Whereas, Government should be accountable, transparent, and free from corruption. Our elected leaders should not serve special interests. They should be held to the highest of ethical standards; and
Whereas, In response to baseless claims of voter fraud during the 2020 election cycle, as of March 2021, legislators in 47 states, including here in Michigan, have introduced over 350 bills under the veil of “election integrity,” but they are really efforts to suppress and disenfranchise voters, particularly voters of color; and
Whereas, Currently in Congress, H.R. 1, the For the People Act of 2021, would enshrine many policies that protect the right to vote and ensure the integrity of our elections. The act would establish automatic voter registration, require a period of early voting for federal elections, prohibit restrictions on mail voting, and ban voter registration roll purges, among other critical policies that both protect and advance voting rights; and
Whereas, H.R. 1 would also institute campaign finance and ethics policies that strengthen our democracy and bring integrity to the system. The legislation would limit the influence of special interest money in our politics, bolster political donor disclosure requirements, and implement other measures designed to overhaul this country’s campaign finance system. It would enhance ethics laws for elected officials as well; and
Whereas, With states across the country, such as the state of Georgia, aggressively enacting legislation to impose unnecessary and unconscionable Jim-Crow style restrictions on voters, Congress and the President must act expeditiously and intentionally to safeguard the right to vote for Michiganders and all Americans; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the United States Congress and the President of the United States to pass H.R. 1 or a similar policy measure to protect democracy, access, integrity, and security in this country’s electoral system; 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, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, the Governor of Michigan, and the Secretary of State of Michigan.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Elections and Ethics.
Reps. Hammoud, Aiyash, Rabhi, Breen, Garza, Haadsma, Morse and Sneller offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 82.
A resolution to declare April 2021 as Arab-American Heritage Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, At least 200,000 Arab-Americans reside in the state of Michigan; and
Whereas, Michigan is home to the highest concentration of Arab-Americans in the United States; and
Whereas, Arab-Americans have been an integral part of the state of Michigan since their migration to the United States in the early 1900’s in search for a destination that will better provide political, economic, and religious freedom; and
Whereas, Since migrating to the United States, men and women of Arab descent have shared their rich culture and traditions with neighbors and friends, while also setting fine examples of model citizens and public servants; and
Whereas, The economic capabilities and political involvement on all levels of government are a testament to the power of the Arab-American community; and
Whereas, Arab migrants to the United States brought with them their resilient family values, strong work ethic, dedication to education, and diversity in faith and creed that have added strength to our great democracy; and
Whereas, The vast contributions of the Arab-American community in the fields of academia, business, medicine, science, and social justice continue to make our state a better place to live; and
Whereas, The working class population of this community has played a pivotal role in the establishment of industrial force that our state is known for today; and
Whereas, Arab Americans join all Americans in the desire to see a peaceful and diverse society, where every individual is treated equally and feels safe; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 2021 as Arab-American Heritage Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Messages from the Governor
The following veto message from the Governor was received and read:
Executive Office, Lansing, April 14, 2021
Michigan House of Representatives
State Capitol Building
Lansing, MI 48909-7514
Representatives,
I am returning Enrolled House Bill 4210 to you without approval. This bill would amend the State Utility Property Tax Act to exempt certain broadband equipment from taxation.
Broadband delivers access to the education, skills, and opportunities Michiganders need to compete in the global economy. To that end, my administration has funded over $12 million in grants through the Connecting Michigan Communities broadband expansion program. And Michigan has more broadband money on the way via the American Rescue Plan recently signed by President Biden and the American Jobs Plan pending in Congress.
I am proud of our collaboration with internet providers, local communities, and other stakeholders to ensure all Michiganders have access to affordable, high-speed broadband. Building on our tremendous success with the FCC’s Rural Development Opportunity Fund action last December, my administration is working with eligible applicants to ensure they have the information and resources needed to successfully obtain Tribal Connectivity grants, Broadband Infrastructure Deployment grants, Connecting Minority Communities grants, and other similar opportunities, and to encourage broad participation in the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program.
I am grateful to have legislators with me in this fight, working to expand access to broadband. Unfortunately, this bill falls short: it would cost schools millions without spurring high-speed broadband development. In fact, the bill’s target of 25 mbps service would deliver a mere fraction of the speeds well in excess of 100 mbps that U.S. broadband users have come to expect. If Michiganders are going to spend their hard-earned tax dollars to incentivize broadband development, it better be fast.
Although I am vetoing HB 4210, I look forward to working with the Legislature on a spending bill to put American Rescue Plan funds to work strengthening Michigan’s broadband infrastructure.
Respectfully,
Gretchen Whitmer
Governor
The question being on the passage of the bill, the objections of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding,
Rep. Frederick moved that the bill be re-referred to the Committee on Communications and Technology.
The motion prevailed.
