Rep. Luke Meerman, from the 88th District, offered the following invocation:
“Dear Lord, You are so Holy and Righteous may we look to You for all our needs. Please have mercy on us here in the People’s House. May You give us wisdom, may we turn to You as the holder of all wisdom. Dear Lord, we are in some of our most trying times, please give those of us asked to lead, wisdom in order to bring Your heart to all we do. May others see You in our actions, may we be Your humble servants only working to turn others’ hearts to You. Lord forgive us for our sins individually and as a nation. Lord I thank You for the mercy and grace You have shown us, You have blessed us greatly. May we always acknowledge it is by Your hand that we have been blessed. Again, please give us wisdom as we go through some of the greatest challenges we have faced in this Grand Republic. We are in Your hands dear Lord. You have led us before please lead us again we humbly ask.
Amen.”
Messages from the Governor
The following veto message from the Governor was received and read:
Executive Office, Lansing, June 3, 2021
Michigan House of Representatives
State Capitol Building
Lansing, MI 48909-7514
Representatives,
Today I am returning Enrolled House Bill 4448 to you without approval. This bill would prohibit an executive order, proclamation, or directive issued under the Emergency Management Act from extending the response time or otherwise limiting the duties of a public body under the Freedom of Information Act.
HB 4448 appears to be a response to Executive Order 2020-38, which I signed on April 5, 2020, and was in effect for only 60 days. This order was designed to protect the lives of public officials tasked with responding to FOIA requests during the first surge – an exceptionally frightening and uncertain moment in Michigan’s history. EO 2020-38 was limited in scope and did not change FOIA’s core requirement that public bodies respond to FOIA requests in a timely manner.
As we begin to emerge from this once-in-a-lifetime pandemic, the lessons learned over the past fifteen months serve as a stark reminder that we cannot predict how the next disaster or emergency we confront may threaten the lives of Michiganders. For that reason, I have said repeatedly that I will not sign bills that constrain the governor’s ability to protect the people of Michigan.
Although I am vetoing Enrolled House Bill 4448, I remain committed to the principle articulated in Executive Directive 2019-11 that a request for a public record under the Freedom of Information Act be a user-friendly process that makes state government more accessible―not the opposite.
Sincerely,
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 Oversight.
The motion prevailed.
The following veto message from the Governor was received and read:
Executive Office, Lansing June 3, 2021
Michigan House of Representatives
State Capitol Building
Lansing, MI 48909-7514
Representatives,
Today I am returning Enrolled House Bill 4728 to you without approval.
This bill is a solution in search of a problem.
Throughout this pandemic, MDHHS orders have played a key role in mitigating the spread of COVID-19, preserving the ability of hospitals to care for their patients and saving thousands of lives. But now, the safe and effective vaccines are widely available and more than half of eligible Michiganders have received their first shot.
HB 4728 would strip MDHHS of pandemic powers at a time when Michigan is quickly returning to normal. As of June 1, capacity limits were lifted for outdoor events and residential gatherings, while indoor capacity limits increased to 50%, allowing social gatherings such as weddings and funerals to move closer to normalcy. Now, Michiganders may celebrate safely with family and friends, with less worry of getting COVID-19. On a personal note, I look forward to celebrating my daughter Sydney’s graduation. We have all been working hard for this moment over the past fifteen months, and I am thankful for every Michigander who has gotten vaccinated to keep themselves, their family, and our communities safe.
Rather than sending me half-baked and punchless legislation like HB 4728, I encourage the Legislature to join me in eradicating this pandemic and making transformational investments in our economy. With federal relief funds headed our way and higher state revenues than expected, together we can create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs, build up our crumbling infrastructure, support our kids and schools, and get back to a new normal as a stronger, more resilient state.
Sincerely,
Gretchen Whitmer
Governor

House Resolution No. 121.
A resolution to declare June 2021 as Alzheimer’s Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Alzheimer’s disease, a progressive neurodegenerative brain disorder, tragically robs individuals of their memories and leads to progressive mental and physical impairments; and
Whereas, There are no known treatments to prevent, cure, or even delay the onset or slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease; and
Whereas, An estimated 5.6 million people aged 65 and over have Alzheimer’s disease and another 200,000 people under age 65 have younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease; and
Whereas, In Michigan, there are an estimated 190,000 people aged 65 and over currently living with Alzheimer’s; and
Whereas, Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and the fifth leading cause among the elderly; and
Whereas, According to the Alzheimer’s Association’s Facts and Figures report, the direct costs of caring for those with Alzheimer’s to American society is valued at $350 billion and more than 16 million caregivers provided over 15.3 billion hours of unpaid care for those with Alzheimer’s and other dementias in 2020. In Michigan, 517,000 family members and friends cared for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, providing 589 million hours of unpaid care; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan recognizes the efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association to raise funds and promote awareness to fight Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, thereby improving the quality of human life for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers; and
Whereas, The month of June 2021 has been declared Alzheimer’s Month to help spread awareness and educate the public on this debilitating disease and the need to increase efforts to combat its human and economic costs; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 2021 as
Alzheimer’s Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We recognize the
individuals, families, friends, and caregivers dealing with Alzheimer’s disease
and the researchers who are seeking a cause or cure, and urge all residents to
wear purple to help spread awareness of the Alzheimer’s Association’s vision of
imagining a world without Alzheimer’s disease.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.

House Resolution No. 122.
A resolution to recognize June 2021 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Pride began 51 years ago in 1970 with the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. In 1969, a black trans woman named Marsha P. Johnson, along with other LGBTQ individuals, risked their lives to protest the over-policing of the LGBTQ community and the injustice that threatened their existence on a daily basis. This multi-day protest became known as the Stonewall Riots and is credited by many for starting the modern-day LGBTQ equality movement; and
Whereas, The LGBTQ movement has endured through tragedy and struggle, including the slow and insufficient government response to assist those with HIV/AIDS and the ongoing effort today to protect the rights of the LGBTQ community; and
Whereas, The movement has also celebrated victories of recognition, especially the historic Obergefell decision in 2015 which affirmed marriage equality nationwide and the recent Bostock decision in 2020 that upheld federal employment protections for the LGBTQ community; and
Whereas, Everyone in Michigan benefits from the multiple talents, viewpoints, and cultural backgrounds of all of its residents and from preserving the freedom, worth, and dignity of those in the LGBTQ community; and
Whereas, Michigan should expend all efforts to attract and retain talent and signal to the nation we are welcoming to all those who wish to contribute to the economic vitality of our state; and
Whereas, The people of Michigan understand, appreciate, and value the cultural, civic, and economic contributions of the LGBTQ communities to the greater community of the state, and affirm a celebration of love, living authentically, and accepting ourselves; and
Whereas, June is recognized and celebrated as LGBTQ Pride Month throughout the country and worldwide; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body recognize June 2021 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
