Rep. Yousef Rabhi, from the 53rd District, offered the following invocation:
“‘We understand it still that there is no easy road to freedom.
We know it well that none of us acting alone can achieve success.
We must therefore act together as a united people, for national reconciliation, for nation building, for the birth of a new world.
Let there be justice for all.
Let there be peace for all.
Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.
Let each know that for each the body, the mind and the soul have been freed to fulfill themselves.’
~Nelson Mandela.”

House Resolution No. 136.
A resolution to declare July 2021 as Fragile X Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Fragile X is the most common inherited cause of developmental disability, cognitive impairment, and autism affecting people of every race, income level, and nationality; and
Whereas, Nearly 1.5 million Americans are living with the health impacts of a Fragile X mutation; and
Whereas, The exact number of people who have the Fragile X permutation is unknown, studies estimate that between 1 in 148 and 1 in 291 females and 1 in 290 and 1 in 855 males in the United States are carriers of a Fragile X mutation and can pass the mutation to their offspring; and
Whereas, Approximately one in every 3,600 to one in every 4,000 males and one in 4,000 to one in every 6,000 female children are born with Fragile X syndrome and typically require a lifetime of special care which can cost over $2,000,000; and
Whereas, Fragile X remains frequently undiagnosed until puberty; and
Whereas, The genetic mutation causing Fragile X has been studied and is easily identified by testing; and
Whereas, Early intervention and therapy is necessary to provide the most opportunity for developing a full range of skills and behavior; and
Whereas, The Fragile X protein also plays a critical role in normal brain function and in other neuropsychiatric conditions including autism, schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, clinical depression, and other forms of X-linked cognitive impairment; and
Whereas, The study of Fragile X provides a unique research opportunity for advancing the understanding of these other neuropsychiatric conditions; and
Whereas, With concerted research efforts, a targeted treatment for Fragile X will likely be developed; and
Whereas, Fragile X research has been vastly underfunded despite the prevalence of the condition, the great potential for the development of targeted treatments, and the significance that Fragile X research has for related disorders; and
Whereas, The
U.S. Congress has designated July as National Fragile X Awareness Month; and
Whereas, The Michigan House of Representatives as an institution and members of the Michigan Legislature as individuals are in unique positions to help raise public awareness about the need for increased funding for research, early diagnosis, and treatment for the condition known as Fragile X; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare July 2021 as Fragile X Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Rep. Farrington offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 137.
A resolution to declare July 18, 2021, as Mortgage Broker Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Mortgage brokers originate nearly one-third of all residential mortgage loans in Michigan; and
Whereas, Mortgage brokers have played a key role in helping to raise Michigan’s homeownership rate to over 74 percent; and
Whereas, Mortgage brokers are an integral component of Michigan’s thriving housing market that has played a critical role in bolstering Michigan’s economy as a whole; and
Whereas, Mortgage broker shops are locally-based small businesses that employ thousands of Michiganders who form deep roots in support of their local communities; and
Whereas, Mortgage brokers work every day and are uniquely equipped to provide home financing options and resources to Americans aspiring to the dream of homeownership in their communities; and
Whereas, Mortgage brokers provide consumers with personalized service and loan optionality that results in competitive rates, better pricing, and faster closings; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare July 18, 2021, as Mortgage Broker Day in the state of Michigan. We recognize and commend the mortgage broker community for making the dream of homeownership a reality for Michigan families, enabling them to build equity that can be passed on to future generations.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Rep. Breen offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 138.
A resolution to declare July 2021 as Cleft and Craniofacial Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Cleft lip and cleft palate are birth defects that occur when a baby’s lip or mouth do not form properly before birth. Together, these birth defects commonly are called “orofacial clefts” or “oral clefts” (OFCs). Affecting 1-2 per 1,000 newborns, together they are among the more common birth defects and the most common affecting the face; and
Whereas, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently estimated that 2,651 babies in the United States are born with a cleft palate and 4,437 babies are born with a cleft lip (with or without a cleft palate) each year; and
Whereas, In Michigan, from 1992 to 2010, the incidence of OFC was about 1 in 637 live births (15.7 cases per 10,000 live births) with an average number of 75 cases of cleft palate and 130 cases of cleft lip (with or without cleft palate) each year; and
Whereas, These birth defects happen early during pregnancy, by 5 to 6 weeks after conception for cleft lip and by about 10 weeks after conception for cleft palate. A baby can have a cleft lip, a cleft palate, or both. A cleft may affect one side of the lip and/or palate (unilateral) or both sides (bilateral) and may disrupt the formation of the nose and/or extend into the gum or upper jawbone; and
Whereas, Without proper medical intervention, the quality of life of these newborn children are negatively impacted. Children with orofacial clefts often have problems with feeding and talking. They might also have ear infections, hearing loss, and problems with their teeth. These children usually require one or more surgeries early in life, as well as special feeding techniques, orthodontic care and/or speech therapy. Severity varies with the degree of clefting and with the presence of other birth defects; in extreme cases, death may result; and
Whereas, Children who can have their orofacial clefts treated are better positioned to live healthy and productive lives in the same manner as children who are not born with clefts; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare July 2021 as Cleft and Craniofacial Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We bring awareness and recognition to these birth defects and those who live with them.

Communications from State Officers
The following communication from the Department of State Police was received and read:
June 30, 2021
I am pleased to present to the Michigan Legislature the 28th annual Asset Forfeiture Report. Michigan’s asset forfeiture laws provide for the seizure of cash and property assets of drug traffickers and other criminal organizations when that property is obtained through illegal activity. The report this year is submitted under the Uniform Forfeiture Reporting Act, Public Act (PA) 148 of 2015, and the conviction requirements of PA 7 and PA 9 of 2019.
PA 148 added reporting requirements and submission of a summary to the Michigan Department of State Police of the reporting agency’s activities regarding forfeiture of property under four sections of law: Public Health Code, MCL 333.7521-MCL 333.7533 (Controlled Substances); the Identity Theft Protection Act, MCL 445.79d; Revised Judicature Act of 1961, MCL 600.4701-600.4709 (Omnibus); and Revised Judicature Act of 1961, MCL 600.3801-600.3840 (Public Nuisance). Additionally, the type of information to be reported for each seizure and forfeiture of property was expanded to provide for greater transparency regarding the government seizure of private property.
Effective August 7, 2019, a criminal conviction became required before certain property seized under the Public Health Code can be forfeited to law enforcement.
This report covers the period from January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020. This is the fourth report in which all reporting agencies submitted forfeiture data based upon the calendar year. Over $11 million in cash and assets amassed by drug traffickers was forfeited. Asset forfeiture funds were utilized to support law enforcement by providing resources for equipment, personnel, vehicles, training, and supplies. Assets seized pursuant to this program also allowed some agencies to contribute monies to non-profit organizations that assist in obtaining information from citizens for solving crimes.
I submit this report for your information and review.
Sincerely,
Col. Joseph M. Gasper

Messages from the Governor
The following veto message from the Governor was received and read:
Executive Office, Lansing, June 25, 2021
Michigan House of Representatives
State Capitol
Lansing, MI 48909-7514
Representatives,
With life getting back to normal, I am laser-focused on giving our state an economic jumpstart by creating jobs with higher wages, helping small businesses get the capital they need to ramp up hiring and boost investment, and making sure every family has access to affordable, quality childcare.
Small businesses that did everything right over the last year should be celebrated and rewarded. We are fortunate that the American Rescue Plan includes the federal resources we need to help jumpstart our economy. I am supportive of a grant program to help small businesses defray the cost of purchasing personal protective equipment to keep their employees safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Unfortunately, House Bills 4224 and 4225 fall short, because they would create a tax credit rather than a grant program, making the expense ineligible for American Rescue Plan dollars. I encourage the legislature to send me bills that would allow us to send these federal relief dollars to hard-working business owners who’ve kept their employees and customers safe over the past 15 months.
Finally, I know we all share a commitment to sound fiscal management, embodied in a good faith agreement to run any legislation with a fiscal impact through the budget process. These bills run counter the spirit of that agreement, so I am vetoing them.
I look forward to continuing to collaborate on negotiated legislation that creates a grant program to help small businesses defray the cost of buying PPE to keep their employees safe.
Sincerely,
Gretchen Whitmer
Governor
The question being on the passage of the bill, the objections of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding,

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted ‘no’ on House Bills 4224 and 4225 because they would reduce funding vital to supporting our students and working families, something our communities cannot afford right now. Aiding Michigan’s small businesses by retroactively eliminating sales and use taxes on personal protective equipment during the pandemic is an important step toward our continued recovery, but this relief can, and should, be provided through federal funds.”
Rep. Weiss, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted ‘no’ on House Bills 4224 and 4225 because there is a better way to fund these important tax credits for small businesses without risking harm to funding for our schools and programs important to working families. There are federal funds available to support our continued economic recovery, which should be used first before we consider using state funds.”
Rep. Rogers, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted ‘no’ on House Bills 4224 because there is likely a better way to fund these important tax credits for small businesses without risking harm to funding for our schools and programs important to working families. There are federal funds available to support our continued economic recovery, which should be used first before we consider using state funds.”
Rep. Cavanagh, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I am voting no on both HB 4224 because the would reduce funding vital to supporting our students and working families and because there is a better way to fund these important tax credits for small businesses without risking harm to funding our schools and programs that are important to our working families.”
Rep. Breen, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Good governing happens when we have
both the best intentions and find the way to best execute these intentions.
Unfortunately, the best of intentions are often waylaid by either poor
execution or ill timing. That is what happened today on the House floor with
HBs 4224 and 4225. These have the best of intentions - to exempt businesses
from paying sales and use taxes for PPE purchase and use. The intent here is
good. However, these bills were ultimately vetoed by the Governor because there
is actually a better way to do this.
I admit - I initially supported these bills. However, this was prior to the Governor’s indication that by enacting this retroactive tax credit, she wished to pursue a grant program with funds from the American Rescue Plan that would essentially do the same thing, but WITHOUT our schools, local units of government, and working families taking the hit.
Combined, these two bills would reduce state revenue by $15M-$18M, directly impacting our schools, cities and counties. I absolutely agree that businesses need all the help they can get to cope with the effects of COVID, and the intent of these bills is to do that just. However, given the clarification on what ARP funds can be used for, it is clear that a grant program to assist with PPE purchases would achieve this effect, but not reduce funding for schools, public safety, infrastructure or other vital needs for our cities, townships, villages and counties. Therefore, I voted in favor of this better option and to allow the state to pursue this grant program to help our Michigan businesses rather than pursue the tax credit to the detrimental effect on our schools and general fund.”
Rep. Frederick moved to reconsider the vote by which the House did not pass the bill.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
Rep. Frederick moved that the bill be re-referred to the Committee on Rules and Competitiveness.
The motion prevailed.

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on Senate Bills 507-509 because these bills do not solve the
problem of Michiganders trying to complete a backlog of Secretary of State
transactions. The bills require SOS branches to provide ‘adequate’ walk-in
service but provide no funding to ensure that adequate staff are present to
process those transactions. My Democratic colleagues introduced bills to
provide the funding for SOS to hire more staff and provide overtime pay, and to
give residents more time to renew their driver’s licenses, but the majority
refused to consider them. SBs 507-509 won’t do enough to alleviate the backlog
of transactions and leave our constituents frustrated and waiting in lines.”

Rep. Weiss, having reserved the right to explain her nay vote, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Senate Bill 28 is a Band-Aid solution to a bullet-hole problem. We can, and we must, do better. There were other solutions on the table that would have truly fixed this issue, but instead, this bill simply passes the buck to the Department of Insurance and Financial Services and provides the funding equivalent of pocket change that will quickly run out. We don’t need gimmicky, temporary fixes when it comes to the livelihood, or even the lives, of critically injured car accident victims. We need real, lasting solutions.”
______
