Rep. Tyrone Carter, from the 6th District, offered the following invocation:
“To the God of all creation, we welcome You into this space and come before You to today in praise of Who You are. God You are Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, first and last. Therefore, the source of all that is good and right. We thank You for Your grace and goodness, in the words of the Psalmist ‘we praise You, God; and may all the people praise You. Then our land will yield its harvest and You, Lord will bless us. (Psalms 67:14).
We pray now for our elected officials, specifically our State House of Representatives, that You provide them with wisdom to govern our state and communities with enlightened hearts and minds to make sound, fair, and right decisions for all the people in the state of Michigan. Give them grace to bring truth, justice and stability to our state. May Your wisdom birth creative ideas and solutions to problems, that lifts and enlightens all humanity.
Thank You, Lord, for each representative here today. Thank You for their hard work and sacrifice. May You bless them continuously and give to each one a wise and discerning heart so they can give back what is good and excellent to the citizens of this state.
In the name of God Almighty we offer this prayer, Amen.

Motions and Resolutions
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 232.
A resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for Mary Carney Brown, former member of the Michigan House of Representatives.
Whereas, It was with great sorrow that the members of the House of Representatives learned about the passing of Mary Brown. She will be remembered as an accomplished legislator who was passionate about improving the lives of her constituents in the Kalamazoo area and the people of the state of Michigan; and
Whereas, Mary Brown was born in Midland in 1935. After graduating from Midland Public Schools, she attended Albion College and Syracuse University and earned degrees in recreation and physical education. She worked as an assistant professor at Western Michigan University from 1965 until her election to the House of Representatives in 1976; and
Whereas, Mary Brown completed nine
consecutive terms as a member of the House of Representatives. Throughout her
impressive 18 years in office, Representative Brown became known as a highly
effective legislator who tirelessly advocated for issues that she believed in,
such as women’s rights and environmental protection. She was instrumental in
the passage of the Married Women’s Property Act, more stringent sentencing
guidelines in rape cases, state implementation of the federal Clean Air Act,
and many other policies. Because of her legislative prowess and admirable
leadership capabilities, she received numerous awards and honors, such as the
Legislator of the Year award from the Michigan Townships Association in 1985
and the Conservationist of the Year award from the Mackinac Chapter of the
Sierra Club in 1990; and
Whereas, As a highly respected leader in the Legislature, she was entrusted with leadership roles on several House committees, including chair of the House committees on Insurance; Constitutional Revision and Women’s Rights; and Senior Citizens and Retirement. She served as vice chair of the House Committee on Social Services and Youth as well. She was also a member of the House committees on City Government; Taxation; Towns and Counties; Urban Affairs; Labor; Conservation, Environment, Recreation, and the Great Lakes; Mental Health; The Constitution, Interstate, and Federal Relations; Civil Rights and Women’s Issues; and Human Services and Children. Representative Brown served with distinction as a member of the Joint Senate and House Committee on Legislative Retirement and chair of the House Democratic Caucus; and
Whereas, In addition to balancing her duties as an elected official, Mary Brown also advocated for her community in other capacities, including as local president of the Kalamazoo Area League of Women Voters, chairperson of the Kalamazoo County Democratic Party, charter member of the Kalamazoo Environmental Council, and Governor James Blanchard’s appointee to the Michigan Civil Service Commission’s Comparable Worth Task Force; and
Whereas, After retiring from the House, Mary Brown continued to serve her community through her involvement with numerous non-profit organizations, such as the Girl Scouts of Glowing Embers Council in Kalamazoo, where she mentored hundreds of girls and women. She also served on several local non-profit boards of directors, including the Ministry with Community and Planned Parenthood of South-Central Michigan. In addition, she was twice appointed to the Natural Resources Commission by Governor Jennifer Granholm, where she helped make key state-level natural resources decisions. In 2007, she received the Michigan Environmental Council Helen and William Milliken Distinguished Service Award and was inducted into the Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame; and
Whereas, Characterized as a “legislative legend,” Mary Brown leaves behind a legacy as a fierce, dynamic, and exceedingly capable advocate for others. Her dedication, integrity, and aptitude for working across political lines remain an example for those who have followed her into service. She will also be remembered as a loving wife to her husband and devoted mother to her three children. May her family take comfort in the knowledge that this legislative body shares in their bereavement and that Mary Brown’s efforts will long continue to enrich our state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Mary Carney Brown, a member of the House of Representatives from 1977 to 1994; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Brown family as evidence of our lasting esteem for her memory.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.
______
The Speaker called the Speaker Pro Tempore to the Chair.
Reps. Posthumus, Bezotte, Breen, Garza, Haadsma, Kuppa, Sabo, Steenland and Thanedar offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 233.
A resolution to declare February 18, 2022, as Conductive Education Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Conductive Education (CE) was developed over seventy years ago in Hungary by Dr. András Pető. CE is a unique teaching system that maximizes the independence and mobility of children and adults with neuromotor disabilities, such as stroke survivors and those with cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, acquired brain injuries, Parkinson’s disease, and spina bifida; and
Whereas, CE operates from a core belief in neuroplasticity, the lifelong ability of the brain to reorganize neural pathways based on new experiences, and on the premise that no matter how severe the disability, people can learn and improve when they are motivated; and
Whereas, CE has the potential to make a significant, life-changing impact on the mobility and independence of close to 9 million people in the United States and Canada. CE helps individuals learn their way to independence; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives,
That the members of this legislative body declare February 18, 2022, as
Conductive Education Day in the state of Michigan. We encourage support for
this important program that increases the independence of people with disabilities
in our community; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Association for Conductive Education in North America with our highest esteem.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Lightner, Bezotte, Breen, Calley, Garza, Haadsma, Hope, Kahle, Kuppa, Morse, Sabo, Sneller, Steenland and Witwer offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 234.
A resolution to declare February 19-26, 2022, as FFA Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Future Farmers of America (FFA) was established in 1928 and is now known as the National FFA Organization. In 1950, Congress granted FFA a federal charter, making it a vital part of public agricultural instruction under the National Vocational Education Act; and
Whereas, The National FFA Organization is comprised of 735,038 members in grades seven through twelve. These members belong to one of 8,817 local FFA chapters throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands; and
Whereas, FFA operates on local, state, and national levels. Student members belong to chapters at the local level where agricultural educators serve as chapter advisors. FFA members elect their own student officers that plan and conduct activities with supervision from their advisors; and
Whereas, States conduct annual conventions where members can demonstrate their proficiency in competitions based on real-world agricultural skills; and
Whereas, Local, state and national FFA programs help members develop public speaking skills, conduct and participate in meetings, manage financial matters, strengthen problem-solving abilities, and assume civic responsibilities; and
Whereas, The National FFA convention is the organization’s premier gathering during which competitors are recognized nationally; and
Whereas, The National FFA Organization has expanded opportunities in the agricultural industry. The FFA helps members prepare for careers in agribusiness, agri-marketing, science, communications, education, horticulture, production, natural resources, forestry, and other diverse fields; and
Whereas, Members of the FFA strengthen their communities through service and preparation of the next generation of leaders to conquer challenges; and
Whereas, There are more than 685,226 FFA Alumni and Supporters across the country that support and advocate for agricultural education; and
Whereas, Members of the FFA organization will celebrate National FFA Week during the week of February 19 through 26, 2022; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 19‑26, 2022, as FFA Week in the state of Michigan. We recognize the integral role of the National FFA organization in building valuable skills through hands-on learning and developing young students for leadership, personal growth, and career success.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Roth, Liberati, Sabo, Borton, Rogers, Markkanen, Beson, Bollin, Breen, O’Malley, Bezotte, Calley, Garza, Haadsma, Hope, Kahle, Kuppa, Morse, Sneller, Steenland, Thanedar and Witwer offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 235.
A resolution to declare February 18, 2022, as Caregivers Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, February 18 marks National Caregivers Day 2022, created in 2015 to recognize in-home caregivers who provide personal care and support to enable millions of Americans who are aging or who have a disability to remain safe and healthy in their own homes; and
Whereas, Home care has emerged as a valuable solution to fill gaps created by traditional care models, including hospitals, nursing homes, and home health. Professional caregivers work for licensed home care agencies and receive training to enable them to assist with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and meal preparation. Most importantly, these caregivers provide vital companionship and mental stimulation by engaging their clients in conversation and other activities; and
Whereas, Professional caregivers, who
number nearly 4.6 million in the United States and family caregivers who are an
estimated at 44 million, are lifelines to millions of Americans while keeping
them safe, healthy, and engaged. Important benefits of home care include
helping seniors lead more independent lives, preventing falls and other common
injuries, promoting medication adherence, and reducing social isolation; and
Whereas, The home care industry is among the fastest growing healthcare industries in the United States and the Home Care Association Michigan Chapter continuously advocates on behalf of our providers and professional caregivers who have been essential in the fight against COVID-19; and
Whereas, Caregivers have stepped up to the challenge of COVID-19, not only caring for their clients but also risking their own personal health and safety while doing so; and
Whereas, Home care workers enable families to stay together at home safely and with dignity as they age; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 18, 2022, as Caregivers Day in the state of Michigan. We express our gratitude to caregivers for their unwavering commitment to the care of their clients and families, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
