As the Bible says in Proverbs Chapter 2 verse 6 ‘For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.’ Guide our paths. Give us the patience, focus, and clarity to understand the issues before us. Give us the wisdom to set aside pressures and temptations to deviate from Your will. Guard not only our hearts to do what’s best for the people of Michigan, but also guard our minds from confusion and folly. Help us to understand all viewpoints and ultimately guide this body to carry out Your will in all that we do. In Your name, we pray. Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Morse, Bezotte, Brabec, Tyrone Carter, Garza, Haadsma, Hood, Hope, Kuppa, Manoogian, Marino, Rabhi, Rogers, Sabo, Sneller, Sowerby, Stone, Thanedar, Weiss and Young offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 263.
A resolution to declare April 2022 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Sexual Assault Awareness Month calls attention to the fact that sexual violence is widespread and impacts women, children, and men of all racial, cultural, and economic backgrounds; and
Whereas, The term sexual assault refers to sexual contact or behavior that occurs without explicit consent of the victim; and
Whereas, According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, one out of every five American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime and approximately 2.6 percent of American men have experienced an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime; and
Whereas, Child sexual abuse prevention must be a priority to confront the reality. From 2009-2013, Child Protective Services agencies substantiated, or found strong evidence to indicate that, 63,000 children a year were victims of sexual abuse and a majority of child victims are ages 12-17. Of victims under the age of 18, 34 percent of victims of sexual assault and rape are under age 12; and
Whereas, Michigan State Police statistics indicate that there were 6,823 incidents of rape that were reported to law enforcement in 2019; and
Whereas, Sexual violence can deeply and enduringly impact survivors on psychological, emotional, and social levels. Ninety-four percent of women who are raped experience posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms during the two weeks following the rape and approximately 70 percent of rape or sexual assault victims experience moderate to severe distress, a larger percentage than for any other violent crime studied in the National Crime Victimization Survey by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Access to informed and supportive services can greatly increase survivors’ ability to heal from sexual assault; and
Whereas, Sexual violence is an intolerable violent crime with public health implications for every person in Michigan. Our state and individual communities must be committed to hold sexual assault perpetrators accountable for their heinous crimes; and
Whereas, When we actively increase education, awareness, and community involvement, we can help prevent sexual violence and create a safer environment for everyone. We must work together to educate our entire population about what can be done to prevent sexual assault, support survivors, and ensure that survivors are not re-victimized; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 2022 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We strongly support the efforts of national, state, and local partners, and of every citizen to actively engage in public and private efforts to prevent sexual violence and will take appropriate action and support one another to create a safer environment for all.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Rogers, Brabec, Tyrone Carter, Garza, Haadsma, Hood, Hope, Kuppa, Manoogian, Marino, Morse, Rabhi, Sabo, Sneller, Sowerby, Stone, Thanedar, Weiss and Young offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 264.
A resolution to declare April 2022 as County Government Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, County governments play a vital role in the delivery of key public services as the original regional government in our state; and
Whereas, April has been set aside nationally to highlight the important work of counties across the United States; and
Whereas, Counties supervise programs to support mental health and substance use disorder treatment, care for abused and neglected children, administer justice through our courts and juvenile justice programming, maintain vital records, land and property records, engage in disaster preparedness and provide solid waste management, property tax administration, law enforcement and public safety, and election administration; and
Whereas, Counties play a key role in public health by promoting equitable and accessible health for all residents; and
Whereas, Counties provide such services as
parks and recreation programs, senior citizen services, medical care
facilities, drainage systems, and infrastructure construction and maintenance;
and
Whereas, The theme for this year’s County Government Month is “Counties Thrive” and focuses on the critical role counties play in public life; and
Whereas, Each year counties across the country have actively promoted their own programs and services to the public they serve; and
Whereas, During this month, we join with the local counties and county commissioners to recognize and raise awareness of the countless efforts and contributions of county boards of commissioners throughout Michigan; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That members of this legislative body declare April 2022 as County Government Month in the state of Michigan. We urge all citizens to observe the month with appropriate programs and activities.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Brenda Carter, Bezotte, Brabec, Tyrone Carter, Garza, Haadsma, Hood, Hope, Kuppa, Manoogian, Morse, Rabhi, Rogers, Sabo, Sneller, Sowerby, Stone, Thanedar, Weiss and Young offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 265.
A resolution to declare April 11-17, 2022, as Black Maternal Health Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), black mothers in the United States die at two to three times the rate of white mothers; and
Whereas, The CDC data from 2014-2017 for pregnancy-related deaths shows there were 13.4 deaths per 100,000 live births for white women, 41.7 deaths per 100,000 live births for black women, and 17.3 deaths per 100,000 live births for women of all races in the United States; and
Whereas, Black maternal death is one of the widest of all racial disparities in women’s health; and
Whereas, Black women are 22 percent more likely to die from heart disease than white women and 1.5 times more likely to die from cervical cancer, but three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy- or childbirth-related causes; and
Whereas, According to the National Institutes of Health, when compared with white women with the conditions for preeclampsia, eclampsia, abruptio placentae, placenta previa, and postpartum hemorrhage, which are common causes of maternal death and injury, black women were two to three times more likely to die than white women who had the same condition; and
Whereas, Between 2014 to 2018, according to the Michigan Maternal Mortality Surveillance Project, black women in Michigan die at a rate more than 4.5 times higher than white women or 39.6 deaths per 100,000 live births; and
Whereas, The United States with a maternal mortality rate of 17.4 deaths per 100,000 pregnancies, ranks last among industrialized countries; and
Whereas, These alarming statistics for black maternal health cut across socio-economic status, maternal age, and education levels; and
Whereas, The Michigan Legislature recognizes the necessity for the increased attention to the state of black maternal health, studying and understanding the root causes of poor maternal health outcomes and supporting community-driven programs, care solutions, improving prenatal care and overall maternal healthcare, improving breastfeeding rates and nutrition, and amplifying the voices of black mothers, women, families, and stakeholders including black women from across the diaspora; and
Whereas, We also recognize the necessity to end maternal mortality globally in order to amplify the need for maternal health and rights; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 11-17, 2022, as Black Maternal Health Week 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 1, 2022
Michigan House of Representatives
State Capitol Building
Lansing, MI 48909-7514
Representatives,
As you know, I would be proud to sign into law common-sense election reforms that strengthen our democracy, including bills that:
• improve military families access to the ballot by allowing active-duty Michiganders and spouses serving overseas to vote electronically,
• remove barriers to voting absentee by establishing a permanent absent voter list, and
• expedite election returns by allowing sufficient time for preprocessing of absentee ballots.
These measures would collectively enhance access to the vote and ensure the orderly administration of our election system.
Enrolled House Bills 4127 and 4128, in contrast, do not advance the goal of improving Michigan elections. Instead, they would burden clerks and voters while increasing costs to Michigan residents. I am therefore returning them to you without my approval.
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 Elections and Ethics.
The motion prevailed.
