Rep. Brenda Carter, from the 29th District, offered the following invocation:
“‘Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.’ 1 Corinthians 13:1
Father, we come today asking for Your guidance. Asking for Your wisdom, asking for Your love, asking You to remind us to love
Remind us that love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up. Love endures all things!
Help us understand that love does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil. Love never fails!
When we were children, we spoke as children, we understood as children, we thought as children; but when we became adults, we put away childish things.
Father, while we are on this political battlefield, help us remember that ‘now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of all is love. Remind us to love.’
These and all blessings we ask in Your son Jesus Christ name,
Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire
membership of the House of Representatives, offered the
following resolution:
House Resolution No. 206.
A resolution of tribute offered as a
memorial for Stephen Ehardt, former member of the House
of Representatives.
Whereas, It was with deep sadness that the members of this body learned of the passing of Stephen Ehardt. He will be remembered for the passion with which he served his constituents in the 83rd District and the entire state of Michigan; and
Whereas, Stephen Ehardt was born in Port Huron and graduated from Croswell Lexington High School in 1973. He then attended Ferris State University where he earned his degree in pharmacy. Upon graduation, Stephen returned to Lexington and started Ehardt’s Pharmacy, where he would serve as president and CEO for 36 years. Even after starting his own practice, he continued his education in pharmacy, earning a Certificate in Geriatric Pharmacy from Ferris State University in 1995 and completing a Community Pharmacy Management Program through the American Pharmacists Association in 1996; and
Whereas, Stephen Ehardt’s contributions to
pharmacy in Michigan extend far beyond his practice. He served as an adjunct
professor or instructor at St. Clair County Community College, the University
of Michigan-Flint, and Wayne State University School of Pharmacy, passing his
knowledge to the next generation. In 1997, he was elected president of the
Michigan Pharmacists Association and received the Distinguished Achievement
Award in Community Pharmacy Practice from the American Pharmacists Association.
In 2005, he was named the Michigan Pharmacists Association’s Pharmacist of the
Year; and
Whereas, Throughout his life, Stephen Ehardt was willing to serve his community. He was a member of the Greater Croswell-Lexington Chamber of Commerce Executive Board for 17 years, including time as president and treasurer, and was appointed to the Thumb Michigan Works! community advisory board in 1996. Stephen also served his community in local elected office, including four years on the Lexington Planning Commission and ten years as a village trustee; and
Whereas, Stephen Ehardt was first elected
to the Michigan House of Representatives in 1998. Bringing his experience as a
pharmacist, Representative Ehardt became a leader on health policy, including
serving as the chair of the Health Policy Committee during his last two terms.
He also served as vice chair of the Veterans Affairs Committee and as a member
of the committees on Agriculture and Resource Management; Conservation and
Outdoor Recreation; Insurance; Insurance and Financial Services; Health
Insurance; and Land Use and Environment. Representative Erhardt was also chosen
to serve as Associate Speaker
Pro Tempore for the 2001 to 2002 and 2003 to 2004 sessions; and
Whereas, Representative Ehardt was a consummate public servant, spending two decades in elected office and contributing to the betterment of his community in countless other endeavors. His passion for policy and representing his constituents will serve as an example for those that follow in his footsteps; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives,
That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of
Stephen Ehardt, a member of the House of Representatives from 1998 to 2004; and
be
it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Ehardt family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.

Sneller, Sowerby, Steenland and Weiss offered the
following resolution:
House Resolution No. 207.
A resolution to declare January 15, 2022, as Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated Founders’ Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, is the oldest Greek-lettered organization to have been established by African-American college-educated women; and
Whereas, Alpha Kappa Alpha was founded at Howard University in Washington, D.C. in 1908; and
Whereas, Founder Ethel Hedgeman Lyle envisioned the sorority as an instrument for enriching campus life by promoting unity and cultivating high academic and ethical standards; and
Whereas, Through the years, the sorority’s function has become more complex, branching out to engage members worldwide in advocacy and service projects to improve socioeconomic, racial, political, and environmental conditions; and
Whereas, Alpha Kappa Alpha’s diverse, collaborative work throughout the United States, the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, and United Arab Emirates integrates a high level of personal engagement with the strong bonds of sisterhood and a productive network of community partners; and
Whereas, Michigan hosts over 30 Alpha Kappa Alpha chapters which are located on college and university campuses and have active alumnae groups in communities throughout the state; and
Whereas, The Great Lakes Region is home to 97 empowered and engaged chapters serving Michigan, Ohio, western New York, western Pennsylvania, and West Virginia; and
Whereas, There are two members of Alpha Kappa Alpha currently serving in the 101st Michigan Legislature, now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 15, 2022, as Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, Founders’ Day in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Pi Tau Omega and Delta Tau Omega Chapters in recognition of all Michigan chapters.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Haadsma, Sneller, Steenland, Weiss and Witwer offered the
following resolution:
House Resolution No. 208.
A resolution to declare January 2022 as Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Fire fighters serve our community by putting our safety above their own; and
Whereas, Fire fighters often work in a toxic environment of smoke, soot, and other carcinogens; and
Whereas, According to research, fire fighters have a 9% greater chance of being diagnosed with cancer and a 14% greater chance of dying from cancer than the general population; and
Whereas, Fire fighter occupational cancer is a leading cause of line-of-duty deaths in fire fighters and has reached epidemic levels; and
Whereas, Studies have found a direct correlation between the chemical exposures fire fighters experience on the job and their increased risk for cancer; and
Whereas, As of January 1, 2022, the State of Michigan has extended cancer presumption to all firefighters and added three forms of cancers to the list of covered cancers, making Michigan a leading state in supporting firefighters with cancer; and
Whereas, Early detection of cancer through routine screening leads to earlier treatment and better disease outcomes, including improved survival and reduced morbidity; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 2022 as Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
