“While I am here praying to God in the faith tradition I believe in, I encourage each of you to pray to your higher power along with me.
God, thank You for the privilege You have granted each one of us to serve the people of Michigan. We are grateful for the running waters that surround our state and the many natural resources and beautiful landscapes that are part of our districts. As we begin a new season, may we give thanks for the changes and new colors that will come.
May we treat one another with respect and kindness as You have taught us. Please help us foster an environment of cooperation with a spirit of openness so that we may do the work of the people of the great state of Michigan. May we remember to listen with open hearts and open minds as we work toward solutions to difficult challenges facing the residents of our districts.
God, give us the courage and strength to continue advocating each day, even when we are tired or face significant challenges. And please help us to be inclusive of those who may have differing beliefs or opinions from our own.
Again, we give thanks for today and each new day You grant us.
Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 344.
Whereas, The members of this legislative body were saddened to learn of the passing of Victor Krause. He will be remembered as a deeply compassionate and highly dedicated public servant who cared greatly about improving the lives of his constituents in Kent County and the people of the entire state; and
Whereas, Victor Krause was born in Grand Rapids in 1935. He spent much of his childhood in Rockford, where he attended Rockford Public Schools and worked at the family business, Wolverine Worldwide. After graduating from Rockford High School in 1953, he went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Michigan in 1957. Later that year, he joined the United States Navy, where he proudly served his country for four years, eventually retiring as a Lieutenant Junior Grade. After returning home, he took on various leadership roles at Wolverine Worldwide, including serving as the Hush Puppies Brand Manager and the Vice President of the International Division. He used his keen business savvy and impressive leadership skills to expand the business’s reach and recognition around the world. He later founded an independent business travel agency, Krause Travel, Inc, and also served as the Area Vice President of the American Cancer Society. In 1982, driven largely by his passion to improve the lives of the people and the world around him, Victor Krause ran for public office; and
Whereas, Victor Krause served as a member of the House of Representatives from 1983 to 1990. During his time in the Legislature, he served with distinction as the Minority Vice Chair of the House Committee on Public Utilities, as well as a member of the Committees on Constitutional Revision and Women’s Rights; Corporations and Finance; and Public Health. He became known as a champion for quality-of-life issues such as economic stability, public school finance, and long-term care. His unwavering integrity and impressive ability to work across the political spectrum earned him the respect of his colleagues and constituents; and
Whereas, After retiring from public office, Victor Krause continued to serve his community in other capacities. He took on leadership roles at various non-profit organizations, such as the Hearing Loss Association of America; Metro Health Foundation; Grand Rapids Youth Commonwealth, and numerous other organizations. In 2012, in recognition of his many accomplishments, he was inducted into the Rockford Hall of Fame; and
Whereas, Upon his passing, we offer condolences to Victor Krause’s family and friends. We hope they find comfort in the knowledge that Victor Krause’s many contributions to his community, state, and country have made a lasting legacy in which all who knew him can take pride; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Victor Krause, a member of the House of Representatives from 1983 to 1990; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Krause 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.
Messages from the Senate
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 30.
A concurrent resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for John Mowat Jr., former member of the Michigan House of Representatives and Senate.
Whereas, It is with great sorrow that the members of this legislative body learned about the passing of John Mowat Jr. He will be remembered as a dedicated public servant and leader who was committed to his constituents in Hillsdale, Jackson, Lenawee, and Washtenaw counties in the Nineteenth and Fortieth Districts; and
Whereas, Mr. Mowat was born in Chicago, Illinois. He later moved to Adrian, Michigan, where he spent some of his childhood and graduated from Adrian High School. He received his Bachelor of Science Degree in agriculture from Michigan State University. After serving his country as a member of the Army Air Force during World War II, John Mowat Jr. returned home to join his parents in the family farm where he worked as a fruit grower and marketeer. In 1969, he was selected as one of the top farmers in Michigan by W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Additionally, he served his community in many volunteer positions including President of the Madison School Board, President of Michigan Certified Farm Markets, and member of the Adrian Chamber of Commerce, Lenawee County Farm Bureau, Michigan Horticultural Society, Michigan Agricultural Conference, Michigan Peach Council, Lenawee County Youth Home Board, and Boy Scouts of America; and
Whereas, John Mowat Jr. served 11 years as a legislator. Elected first to the House of Representatives in 1970, John Mowat Jr. served on committees on Education; Constitutional Revision and Women’s Rights; Public Utilities; and as Minority Vice Chair of Social Services and Corrections; Youth and Student Participation; and Drainage. Elected to the Senate in 1979, he served as a member of the committees on Education; Health and Social Services; Senate Administration and Rules; and Labor and Retirement. He showed exceptional leadership in both chambers as the Elected Assistant Republican Leader during the 1974 and 1976 sessions and as the Republican Caucus Chairman as a Senator during the 1979 session; and
Whereas, In addition to his responsibilities as a legislator and farmer, John Mowat Jr. continued to be involved in his community in a variety of capacities throughout his life. After leaving public office, John Mowat Jr. served as Executive Director for the Republican Party in the Michigan House of Representatives for nearly 10 years. He also volunteered for Habitat for Humanity in North Carolina. His knowledge and expertise stood out to all who knew him; and
Whereas, John Mowat Jr.’s legacy is an example of how we as public servants can apply our knowledge and expertise for the betterment of the state of Michigan. Committed to sound public policy and willing to be vocal about what he believed, he served dutifully in the Legislature and his community while remaining devoted to his family. In 1982, he decided to not seek re-election so he could return to the family and the family farm. He cherished his wife and three sons most of all; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of John Mowat Jr., a member of the Michigan Legislature from 1971 to 1982; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Mowat family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory.
The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.
The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,
The concurrent resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 31.
A concurrent resolution offered as a memorial for Richard J. Allen, former member of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Whereas, It was with great sorrow that the members of the Michigan Legislature learned of the passing of Richard “Dick” Allen. A dedicated public servant, he will be remembered as a legislator who worked tirelessly to improve the lives of his constituents in mid-Michigan and the entire state of Michigan; and
Whereas, Dick Allen was born and raised on his family’s farm in Ithaca. After graduating from Ithaca High School, he went on to attend Michigan State University, where he earned his bachelor’s degree, Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine, and completed additional coursework towards a PhD in agricultural economics. After college, he operated his own veterinary practice, taught at Alma College, and worked on his family’s farm. He also served the community through his involvement with the local Rotary Club, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Michigan Veterinary Medical Association, among other endeavors. His educational background, career, and wide range of life experiences prepared him well for his time as a legislator; and
Whereas, Dick Allen was first elected to the Michigan House of Representatives in 1968 where he served two terms before being elected to the Michigan Senate in 1974 where he served two terms. During his tenure in the House, he represented the Eighty-eighth House District. While a member of the House of Representatives, he served on the committees on Consumers and Agriculture, Retirement, and Public Health where he served as vice chair. From 1975 to 1982, he represented the Thirtieth Senate District. While a member of the Senate, he served on the Senate committees on Agriculture and Consumer Affairs, Education, Tourist Industry Relations, Appropriations, and Transportation, as well as the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules; and
Whereas, Dick Allen was known to be a fierce advocate for bicycling safety and nonmotorized trail development. One of his most notable legislative accomplishments was the passage of legislation that requires the Michigan Department of Transportation to spend a percentage of road money on nonmotorized trail facilities. He also founded the Dick Allen Lansing to Mackinaw (DALMAC) bicycle tour in 1971, which is one of the state’s longest-running bicycle tours. DALMAC has been enjoyed by thousands of bicyclists and raised over $1.5 million in funds for bicycle-related projects; and
Whereas, After leaving office, Dick Allen continued his career as Michigan’s Small Business Ombudsman and Executive Director of the Michigan State Fair, among other roles. He also continued to serve the community through his involvement with various not-for-profit organizations, such as the Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance, the Audubon Society, the Michigan Forestry Association, and the Sierra Club; and
Whereas, Dick Allen leaves behind a legacy as a highly passionate public servant and effective leader, which is evidenced by his many accomplishments. He was also a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather. Upon his passing, we offer our condolences to his family and friends. We hope they find comfort in the knowledge that his contributions will long continue to enrich this state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Richard J. Allen, a member of the House of Representatives from 1969 to 1972 and the Senate from 1975 to 1982; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Allen family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory.

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Mueller, Cherry, Hope and Garza offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 345.
A resolution to urge the United States Department of the Interior to approve the petition of the Grand River Bands of Ottawa Indians for federal acknowledgment.
Whereas, The Grand River Bands of Ottawa Indians (GRBOI) are signatories to numerous treaties with the United States Federal Government. They are the political successor-in-interest of the Grand River Ottawa people that first established a sovereign-to-sovereign relationship with the United States via the 1795 Treaty of Greenville, followed by the 1807 Treaty of Detroit, 1821 Treaty of Chicago, and 1836 Treaty of Washington. This relationship was further strengthened by the Treaty of Detroit (1855) with a specific reservation set aside for GRBOI located in western Michigan, including areas north of the Grand River in and around Muskegon and Grand Rapids (see Article VI of the Treaty of Detroit (1855)); and
Whereas, Such a sovereign-to-sovereign relationship is consistent with the legal history of other successor-in-interest Michigan treaty tribes (see Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa & Chippewa Indians v United States Attorney for the Western District of Michigan, 46 F. Supp. 2d 689 (1999)), including an award from the Indian Claims Commission (Docket 40-k) on March 27, 1968; and
Whereas, The State of Michigan previously recognized GRBOI, in 1996, as a historic Indian tribe that continues to exist as a tribal entity; and
Whereas, In 1997, the United States Congress, even though GRBOI was not yet formally acknowledged at the time, enacted the Michigan Indian Land Claims Settlement Act (P.L. 105-143), which included provisions that were intended to distribute land claims settlement funds to GRBOI in anticipation of their recognition; and
Whereas, GRBOI filed a petition (Petition #146) for federal acknowledgment with the United States Department of the Interior, Office of Federal Acknowledgment in 1994. That petition is still pending a decision from the Office of Federal Acknowledgement;
Whereas, The petition has faced undue delay and the members of the Grand River Bands of Ottawa Indians have suffered significantly – losing opportunities to support their members with housing, health care, public safety, and education; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Department of the Interior to approve the petition of the Grand River Bands of Ottawa Indians for federal acknowledgment in an expeditious manner; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor and the United States Secretary of the Interior.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
Rep. Frederick moved that Rule 42 be suspended.
The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.
Rep. Frederick moved that the Committee on Government Operations be discharged from further consideration of House Resolution No. 345.

A resolution to urge the United States Department of the Interior to approve the petition of the Grand River Bands of Ottawa Indians for federal acknowledgment.
(For text of resolution, see today’s Journal, p. 1755.)

Sec. 51a. (1) From the state school aid fund money in section 11, there is allocated an amount not to exceed $1,089,096,100.00 for 2021-2022 and there is allocated an amount not to exceed $1,460,503,100.00 for 2022-2023 from state sources and all available federal funding under sections 1411 to 1419 of part B of the individuals with disabilities education act, 20 USC 1411 to 1419, estimated at $380,000,000.00 for 2021-2022 and $390,000,000.00 for 2022-2023, plus any carryover federal funds from previous year appropriations. The allocations under this subsection are for the purpose of reimbursing districts and intermediate districts for special education programs, services, and special education personnel as prescribed in article 3 of the revised school code, MCL 380.1701 to 380.1761; net tuition payments made by intermediate districts to the Michigan Schools for the Deaf and Blind; and special education programs and services for pupils who are eligible for special education programs and services according to statute or rule. For meeting the costs of special education programs and services not reimbursed under this article, a district or intermediate district may use money in general funds or special education funds, not otherwise restricted, or contributions from districts to intermediate districts, tuition payments, gifts and contributions from individuals or other entities, or federal funds that may be available for this purpose, as determined by the intermediate district plan prepared under article 3 of the revised school code, MCL 380.1701 to 380.1761. Notwithstanding section 17b, the department shall make payments of federal funds to districts, intermediate districts, and other eligible entities under this section on a schedule determined by the department.
(2) From the funds allocated under subsection (1), there is allocated the amount necessary, estimated at $311,800,000.00 for 2021-2022 and estimated at $323,300,000.00 for 2022-2023, for payments toward reimbursing districts and intermediate districts for 28.6138% of total approved costs of special education, excluding costs reimbursed under section 53a, and 70.4165% of total approved costs of special education transportation. Allocations under this subsection are made as follows:
(a) For 2021-2022, the department shall calculate the initial amount allocated to a district under this subsection toward fulfilling the specified percentages by multiplying the district’s special education pupil membership, excluding pupils described in subsection (11), times the foundation allowance under section 20 of the pupil’s district of residence, plus the amount of the district’s per-pupil allocation under section 20m, not to exceed the target foundation allowance for the current fiscal year, or, for a special education pupil in membership in a district that is a public school academy, times an amount equal to the amount per membership pupil calculated under section 20(6). For an intermediate district, the amount allocated under this subdivision toward fulfilling the specified percentages is an amount per special education membership pupil, excluding pupils described in subsection (11), and is calculated in the same manner as for a district, using the foundation allowance under section 20 of the pupil’s district of residence, not to exceed the target foundation allowance for the current fiscal year, and that district’s per-pupil allocation under section 20m.
(b) For 2022-2023, the department shall calculate the initial amount allocated to a district under this subsection toward fulfilling the specified percentages by multiplying the district’s special education pupil membership, excluding pupils described in subsection (11), times 25% of the foundation allowance under section 20 of the pupil’s district of residence, plus 25% of the amount of the district’s per-pupil allocation under section 20m, not to exceed 25% of the target foundation allowance for the current fiscal year, or, for a special education pupil in membership in a district that is a public school academy, times an amount equal to 25% of the amount per membership pupil calculated under section 20(6). For an intermediate district, the amount allocated under this subdivision toward fulfilling the specified percentages is an amount per special education membership pupil, excluding pupils described in subsection (11), and is calculated in the same manner as for a district, using 25% of the foundation allowance under section 20 of the pupil’s district of residence, not to exceed 25% of the target foundation allowance for the current fiscal year, and that district’s per-pupil allocation under section 20m.
(c) After the allocations under subdivision (a) or (b), as applicable, the department shall pay a district or intermediate district for which the payments calculated under subdivision (a) or (b), as applicable, do not fulfill the specified percentages the amount necessary to achieve the specified percentages for the district or intermediate district.
(3) From the funds allocated under
subsection (1), there is allocated for 2021-2022 an amount not to exceed
$1,000,000.00 and there is allocated for 2022-2023 an amount not to exceed
$1,000,000.00 to make payments to districts and intermediate districts under
this subsection. If the amount , for 2021-2022, allocated to a
district or intermediate district for the fiscal year under subsection (2)(c) or,
for 2022-2023, the amount, equal to the amount necessary to fulfill the
specified percentages minus (the sum of the amounts calculated under subsection
(2)(a) plus the amount received under section 51e), is less than the sum of
the amounts allocated to the district or intermediate district for 1996-97
under sections 52 and 58, there is allocated to the district or intermediate
district for the fiscal year an amount equal to that difference, adjusted by
applying the same proration factor that was used in the distribution of funds
under section 52 in 1996-97 as adjusted to the district’s or intermediate
district’s necessary costs of special education used in calculations for the
fiscal year. This adjustment is to reflect reductions in special education
program operations or services between 1996-97 and subsequent fiscal years. The
department shall make adjustments for reductions in special education program
operations or services in a manner determined by the department and shall
include adjustments for program or service shifts.
(4) If the department determines that the
sum of the amounts allocated for a fiscal year to a district or intermediate
district under subsection (2)(a) and (b) (2) is not sufficient to
fulfill the specified percentages in subsection (2), then the department shall
pay the shortfall to the district or intermediate district during the fiscal
year beginning on the October 1 following the determination and shall adjust
payments under subsection (3) as necessary. If the department determines that
the sum of the amounts allocated for a fiscal year to a district or
intermediate district under subsection (2)(a) and (b) (2) exceeds
the sum of the amount necessary to fulfill the specified percentages in
subsection (2), then the department shall deduct the amount of the excess from
the district’s or intermediate district’s payments under this article for the
fiscal year beginning on the October 1 following the determination and shall
adjust payments under subsection (3) as necessary. However, for 2021-2022 only,
if the amount allocated under subsection (2)(a) in itself exceeds the amount
necessary to fulfill the specified percentages in subsection (2), there is no
deduction under this subsection. Beginning in 2022-2023, if the amount
allocated under subsection (2)(b) in itself exceeds the amount necessary to
fulfill the specified percentages in subsection (2), there is no deduction
under this subsection.
(5) State funds are allocated on a total approved cost basis. Federal funds are allocated under applicable federal requirements.
(6) From the amount allocated in subsection (1), there is allocated an amount not to exceed $2,200,000.00 for 2021-2022 and there is allocated an amount not to exceed $2,200,000.00 for 2022-2023 to reimburse 100% of the net increase in necessary costs incurred by a district or intermediate district in implementing the revisions in the administrative rules for special education that became effective on July 1, 1987. As used in this subsection, “net increase in necessary costs” means the necessary additional costs incurred solely because of new or revised requirements in the administrative rules minus cost savings permitted in implementing the revised rules. The department shall determine net increase in necessary costs in a manner specified by the department.
(7) For purposes of this section and sections 51b to 58, all of the following apply:
(a) “Total approved costs of special education” are determined in a manner specified by the department and may include indirect costs, but must not exceed 115% of approved direct costs for section 52 and section 53a programs. The total approved costs include salary and other compensation for all approved special education personnel for the program, including payments for Social Security and Medicare and public school employee retirement system contributions. The total approved costs do not include salaries or other compensation paid to administrative personnel who are not special education personnel as that term is defined in section 6 of the revised school code, MCL 380.6. Costs reimbursed by federal funds, other than those federal funds included in the allocation made under this article, are not included. Special education approved personnel not utilized full time in the evaluation of students or in the delivery of special education programs, ancillary, and other related services are reimbursed under this section only for that portion of time actually spent providing these programs and services, with the exception of special education programs and services provided to youth placed in child caring institutions or juvenile detention programs approved by the department to provide an on-grounds education program.
(b) A district or intermediate district that employed special education support services staff to provide special education support services in 2003-2004 or in a subsequent fiscal year and that in a fiscal year after 2003-2004 receives the same type of support services from another district or intermediate district shall report the cost of those support services for special education reimbursement purposes under this article. This subdivision does not prohibit the transfer of special education classroom teachers and special education classroom aides if the pupils counted in membership associated with those special education classroom teachers and special education classroom aides are transferred and counted in membership in the other district or intermediate district in conjunction with the transfer of those teachers and aides.
(c) If the department determines before bookclosing for a fiscal year that the amounts allocated for that fiscal year under subsections (2), (3), (6), and (11) and sections 53a, 54, and 56 will exceed expenditures for that fiscal year under subsections (2), (3), (6), and (11) and sections 53a, 54, and 56, then for a district or intermediate district whose reimbursement for that fiscal year would otherwise be affected by subdivision (b), subdivision (b) does not apply to the calculation of the reimbursement for that district or intermediate district and the department shall calculate reimbursement for that district or intermediate district in the same manner as it was for 2003-2004. If the amount of the excess allocations under subsections (2), (3), (6), and (11) and sections 53a, 54, and 56 is not sufficient to fully fund the calculation of reimbursement to those districts and intermediate districts under this subdivision, then the department shall prorate calculations and resulting reimbursement under this subdivision on an equal percentage basis. The amount of reimbursement under this subdivision for a fiscal year must not exceed $2,000,000.00 for any district or intermediate district.
(d) Reimbursement for ancillary and other related services, as that term is defined by R 340.1701c of the Michigan Administrative Code, is not provided when those services are covered by and available through private group health insurance carriers or federal reimbursed program sources unless the department and district or intermediate district agree otherwise and that agreement is approved by the state budget director. Expenses, other than the incidental expense of filing, must not be borne by the parent. In addition, the filing of claims must not delay the education of a pupil. A district or intermediate district is responsible for payment of a deductible amount and for an advance payment required until the time a claim is paid.
(e) If an intermediate district purchases a special education pupil transportation service from a constituent district that was previously purchased from a private entity; if the purchase from the constituent district is at a lower cost, adjusted for changes in fuel costs; and if the cost shift from the intermediate district to the constituent does not result in any net change in the revenue the constituent district receives from payments under sections 22b and 51c, then upon application by the intermediate district, the department shall direct the intermediate district to continue to report the cost associated with the specific identified special education pupil transportation service and shall adjust the costs reported by the constituent district to remove the cost associated with that specific service.
(8) A pupil who is enrolled in a full-time special education program conducted or administered by an intermediate district or a pupil who is enrolled in the Michigan Schools for the Deaf and Blind is not included in the membership count of a district, but is counted in membership in the intermediate district of residence.
(9) Special education personnel transferred from 1 district to another to implement the revised school code are entitled to the rights, benefits, and tenure to which the individual would otherwise be entitled had that individual been employed by the receiving district originally.
(10) If a district or intermediate district uses money received under this section for a purpose other than the purpose or purposes for which the money is allocated, the department may require the district or intermediate district to refund the amount of money received. The department shall deposit money that is refunded in the state treasury to the credit of the state school aid fund.
(11) From the funds allocated in subsection (1), there is allocated the amount necessary, estimated at $1,500,000.00 for 2021-2022 and estimated at $1,500,000.00 for 2022-2023, to pay the foundation allowances for pupils described in this subsection. The department shall calculate the allocation to a district under this subsection by multiplying the number of pupils described in this subsection who are counted in membership in the district times the sum of the foundation allowance under section 20 of the pupil’s district of residence, plus the amount of the district’s per-pupil allocation under section 20m, not to exceed the target foundation allowance for the current fiscal year, or, for a pupil described in this subsection who is counted in membership in a district that is a public school academy, times an amount equal to the amount per membership pupil under section 20(6). The department shall calculate the allocation to an intermediate district under this subsection in the same manner as for a district, using the foundation allowance under section 20 of the pupil’s district of residence not to exceed the target foundation allowance for the current fiscal year and that district’s per-pupil allocation under section 20m. This subsection applies to all of the following pupils:
(a) Pupils described in section 53a.
(b) Pupils counted in membership in an intermediate district who are not special education pupils and are served by the intermediate district in a juvenile detention or child caring facility.
(c) Pupils with an emotional impairment counted in membership by an intermediate district and provided educational services by the department of health and human services.
(12) If it is determined that funds allocated under subsection (2) or (11) or under section 51c will not be expended, funds up to the amount necessary and available may be used to supplement the allocations under subsection (2) or (11) or under section 51c in order to fully fund those allocations. After payments under subsections (2) and (11) and section 51c, the department shall expend the remaining funds from the allocation in subsection (1) in the following order:
(a) One hundred percent of the reimbursement required under section 53a.
(b) One hundred percent of the reimbursement required under subsection (6).
(c) One hundred percent of the payment required under section 54.
(d) One hundred percent of the payment required under subsection (3).
(e) One hundred percent of the payments under section 56.
(13) The allocations under subsections (2), (3), and (11) are allocations to intermediate districts only and are not allocations to districts, but instead are calculations used only to determine the state payments under section 22b.
(14) If a public school academy that is not a cyber school, as that term is defined in section 551 of the revised school code, MCL 380.551, enrolls under this section a pupil who resides outside of the intermediate district in which the public school academy is located and who is eligible for special education programs and services according to statute or rule, or who is a child with a disability, as that term is defined under the individuals with disabilities education act, Public Law 108-446, the intermediate district in which the public school academy is located and the public school academy shall enter into a written agreement with the intermediate district in which the pupil resides for the purpose of providing the pupil with a free appropriate public education, and the written agreement must include at least an agreement on the responsibility for the payment of the added costs of special education programs and services for the pupil. If the public school academy that enrolls the pupil does not enter into an agreement under this subsection, the public school academy shall not charge the pupil’s resident intermediate district or the intermediate district in which the public school academy is located the added costs of special education programs and services for the pupil, and the public school academy is not eligible for any payouts based on the funding formula outlined in the resident or nonresident intermediate district’s plan. If a pupil is not enrolled in a public school academy under this subsection, the provision of special education programs and services and the payment of the added costs of special education programs and services for a pupil described in this subsection are the responsibility of the district and intermediate district in which the pupil resides.
(15) For the purpose of receiving its federal allocation under part B of the individuals with disabilities education act, Public Law 108-446, a public school academy that is a cyber school, as that term is defined in section 551 of the revised school code, MCL 380.551, and is in compliance with section 553a of the revised school code, MCL 380.553a, directly receives the federal allocation under part B of the individuals with disabilities education act, Public Law 108-446, from the intermediate district in which the cyber school is located, as the subrecipient. If the intermediate district does not distribute the funds described in this subsection to the cyber school by the part B application due date of July 1, the department may distribute the funds described in this subsection directly to the cyber school according to the formula prescribed in 34 CFR 300.705 and 34 CFR 300.816. Beginning July 1, 2021, this subsection is subject to section 8c. It is the intent of the legislature that the immediately preceding sentence apply retroactively and is effective July 1, 2021.

Motions and Resolutions
By unanimous consent the House considered House Resolution No. 358 out of numerical order.
Rep. Mueller offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 358.
A resolution reaffirming the State of Michigan’s commitment to refrain from intervening in the free market to forcibly transition the state’s automotive fleet from internal combustion engine powered vehicles to electric-powered vehicles and, instead, to allow traditional free market forces to determine the fleet’s makeup.
Whereas, One of the key features of Michigan’s historic identity has been its role as the undisputed leader in automobile manufacturing. Henry Ford, one of the most famous Michiganders, and whose name is now synonymous with modern automobiles, built his first gas-powered internal combustion engine in 1893 on the kitchen table of his then-home in Detroit. Over the next century, countless innovations by Ford and other Michigan-based automobile manufacturers cemented this state’s role as the worldwide leader in automobile manufacturing, even being indisputably recognized as the “Automotive Capital of the World”; and
Whereas, Michigan’s economic development has been – and remains to be – tied to the automotive industry, which is still overwhelmingly dependent upon conventional internal combustion engine powered vehicles. Recent estimates have found that the automotive industry contributes 225 billion dollars to our state’s economy, which is nearly half our gross state product. Nearly one in five Michiganders has a job supported by the automotive industry. The vast majority of the automobiles produced in the United States remain equipped with traditional, internal combustion engines. As of 2022, less than one percent of this nation’s 250 million cars, SUVs, and light-duty trucks are fully electric. Michigan’s economy is clearly still dependent upon the manufacturing of traditionally powered vehicles; and
Whereas, Nationwide, there has been an increased interest in the viability of introducing mass numbers of electric vehicles on America’s roads. As Michigan explores this new frontier, government leadership should not unnecessarily interfere in natural market processes as other states have done. The state of California, for example, plans to ban the sale of gas cars by the year 2035, requiring instead that all new vehicles be powered by hydrogen or electricity. Top-down mandates like these unnecessarily burden the automotive industry, significantly impair the free market’s ability to select for the most desired and efficient product, and restrict and distort consumer choices. Ultimately, government interference in this way damages economies, undermines the free market, and restricts the right business owners and consumers alike share to make independent choices; and
Whereas, Though Michigan businesses have recently begun initiatives to invest in making electric vehicle manufacturing a viable component of our future automotive endeavors, we should ultimately allow the free market to dictate that this transition be natural, sustainable, and economically sound. Earlier this year, General Motors announced a historic investment of billions of dollars into electric vehicle manufacturing for the coming decades. Other automotive manufacturers are making similar investments. These investments hope to bring thousands of stable jobs developing the infrastructure necessary to naturally phase electric vehicles into our fleet. Continuing to allow market players – not the government - to spearhead future development in Michigan’s automotive future is the best way to ensure that electric vehicle rollouts last and do not unnecessarily burden the free market. For over 100 years Michigan’s private industry has led the nation’s automotive production. The advent of electric vehicles is no reason to kick them out of the driver’s seat; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we reaffirm the State of Michigan’s commitment to refrain from intervening in the free market to forcibly transition the state’s automotive fleet from internal combustion engine powered vehicles to electric-powered vehicles and, instead, to allow traditional free market forces to determine the fleet’s makeup; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor of Michigan, the Director of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, the Director of the Michigan Office of Future Mobility and Electrification, and the Director of the Michigan Department of Technology, Management, and Budget.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Transportation.
Rep. Frederick moved that Rule 42 be suspended.
The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.
Rep. Frederick moved that the Committee on Transportation be discharged from further consideration of House Resolution No. 358.

By unanimous consent the House considered House Resolution No. 349 out of numerical order.
House Resolution No. 349.
A resolution to condemn the Michigan Department of Education’s teacher training videos on student gender orientation and reaffirm the fundamental right of parents to direct the education of their children.
Whereas, The fundamental right of parents over the upbringing of their children has been unequivocally established in the United States. Parents are in the best position to know their children’s needs and circumstances, and therefore should maintain authority over all information and decisions that could impact the health and well-being of their children; and
Whereas, Portions of the Michigan Department of Education’s LGBTQ teacher training videos suggest not telling parents their child’s gender orientation, sexual orientation, or pronouns. These videos train teachers that they do not have to disclose a child’s gender or sexual orientation even if it is contributing to the child’s suicidal thoughts. This not only puts a child’s life at risk, but it also denies parents their fundamental right to protect the health and safety of their children. Further, this is an all-out affront to our constitution that clearly establishes that parental rights are sacred and secured. The offensive nature of these videos clearly represents the out of touch perspective of the Michigan Department of Education and this Administration who routinely demonstrate their disdain for parents and parents’ rights; and
Whereas, Parents’ fundamental right to direct the care, teaching, and education of their children is infringed upon when school districts do not have total transparency and do not defer to parents regarding their children’s gender identity, sexual orientation, preferred pronouns, or any other issue related to their child’s gender identity known to the school. Parents have the right to direct any discussion regarding these topics with their children. Michigan’s public schools should not promote exploration of gender identity, gender fluidity, or sexual orientation without parental consent. These topics are highly sensitive and, at the very least, require active involvement of parents who are the primary principals in their children’s development; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we condemn the Michigan Department of Education’s teacher training videos on student gender orientation and reaffirm the fundamental right of parents to direct the education of their children; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor of Michigan, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and the State Board of Education.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Education.
Rep. Frederick moved that Rule 42 be suspended.

All others should be held accountable by way of civil infraction and not criminal misdemeanor.”

Reps. Damoose, Breen and Haadsma offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 346.
A resolution to declare Rudyard Township as the Snowy Owl Capital of Michigan.
Whereas, Snowy Owls (Bubo Scandiacus) are a protected species native to the arctic regions of North America that frequent Michigan during the winter months and are guests to the Rudyard area of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan; and
Whereas, The snowy owl is a yellow-eyed, black beaked, white bird also identified by its large size of 20‑28 inches long, wing span of 49-59 inches, 3.5-6.6 pounds, making it one of the largest owl species and the heaviest in North America. Snowy owl males are white, while immature males and females tend to have dark spots and have a life span of ten years; and
Whereas, This nomadic bird nests in arctic tundra they winter south through Canada as well as the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Snowy owls are attracted to winter areas that are open and that appear somewhat similar to tundra. As diurnal (night and day) hunters they sit patiently on fence post, telephone poles, and hay bales waiting for their desired diets, small rodents such as meadow voles and deer mice, requiring seven to twelve per day to meet food needs. Rudyard lands have these attributes and meet habitat criteria making it a frequent winter hunting ground and a superior area for the snowy owls; and
Whereas, Snowy owls arrive in November and stay until March or April and the official Annual Audubon National Christmas Bird Count of seventeen snowy owls in 2017, twenty-nine in 2018, thirteen in 2019, three in 2020 and twenty-three in 2021 shows the Rudyard area has a consistent winter population of snowy owls. The 2018 count of twenty-nine snowy owls, was the highest one-day snowy owl numbers in both Michigan and the United States; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the members of this legislative body declare Rudyard as the Snowy Owl Capital of Michigan. We commend all of the residents of Michigan who enjoy bird viewing and bird photography; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Rudyard Township Board as evidence of our support.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Carra, Maddock, Bezotte, Rendon and Sneller offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 347.
A resolution to urge Congress
to investigate the Federal Bureau of Investigation for political corruption and
significantly decrease the Bureau’s budget, and to urge the Bureau and the
United States Department of Justice to release the full and unredacted search
warrant and supporting affidavit for the August 8, 2022, search of President
Donald Trump’s home.
Whereas, The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) plays a pivotal role in protecting this nation from both domestic and international threats, including some of the most dangerous threats to democracy: corruption, political suppression, and defiance of the rule of law. To carry out its goal to “[c]ombat public corruption at all levels,” the FBI must not merely enforce the law, but actively ensure it is enforcing the law evenhandedly, to guard against becoming the very criminals they seek to destroy; and
Whereas, Throughout its history, the FBI has repeatedly strayed from its mission and its mandate from Congress, becoming a tool of political influence against individuals of all political persuasions, including those in power and average citizens. In the 1920s, FBI agents were used to spy on members of Congress who opposed the President’s policies and actions in the Teapot Dome scandal. J. Edgar Hoover, who served as the Director of the FBI for 48 years, performed political favors for both Republican and Democratic administrations, such as pursuing Communists during the McCarthy era, disrupting anti-Vietnam War organizations, collecting blackmail on Martin Luther King, Jr., and attempting to discredit the civil rights movement; and
Whereas, Congress has the power and the will to defend constitutional rights against the abuse of power by the FBI, as demonstrated by its vigorous oversight and investigation of the FBI in response to instances of corruption. The most famous of these investigations, the Church Committee, led to the establishment of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the passage of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), the creation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), and internal reforms of federal agencies; and
Whereas, The FBI has gone to extraordinary lengths and utilized unlawful means to oppose Republicans seeking office in recent years. In 2017, the FBI included information from the Steele dossier, an unverified collection of hearsay and lies, in an affidavit before the FISC. Based on this affidavit, the FISC granted a wiretap to investigate alleged collusion between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and the Russian government. Years later, these allegations were disproved, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) declared that these FISA warrants were legally invalid, and the FISC harshly criticized the FBI for submitting unsupported and contradicted information and withholding information detrimental to their case; and
Whereas, The FBI has also targeted individual Americans who disagree with Democratic politicians. In 2020, an undercover FBI informant engaged in entrapment by convincing a small group to conspire to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. The undercover FBI agent was second in command of the group plotting the kidnapping, took time off of work to meet with them, suggested they use an encrypted messaging app, and contacted the group nearly every day. Entrapment, the practice of convincing or tricking people into committing crimes they would not otherwise commit, is forbidden to prevent overzealous criminal investigations, like the FBI’s investigation in this case; and
Whereas, The FBI’s inaction in cases against Democrats reveals its political bias. The FBI has failed to adequately investigate Hunter Biden’s business dealings with Chinese and Ukrainian entities accused of bribery and his plans to hold equity in a Chinese company for his father, President Joe Biden. The FBI has ignored the clear possibility that President Biden has been unduly influenced or corrupted by his son’s activities, instead focusing on Hunter Biden’s possible tax and firearms violations; and
Whereas, The FBI’s double standard has been highlighted by its unequal enforcement of laws about handling classified documents. While she was Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton improperly and illegally used a personal email server for work-related emails, including emails classified as top secret. Rather than seizing the email servers, investigators gave the Secretary time to voluntarily give her email servers to the United States DOJ, despite stalling for months. Secretary Clinton’s lawyers then deleted 33,000 emails and “cleaned their devices in such a way as to preclude complete forensic recovery.” Despite characterizing Secretary Clinton as “extremely careless in [her] handling of very sensitive, highly classified information,” the FBI declined to recommend criminal charges against her. In contrast, when President Donald Trump improperly and illegally retained documents that should have been given to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), including documents classified as top secret, the FBI acquired a search warrant and seized documents from the President’s home, even though President Trump had complied with NARA’s previous requests for documents; and
Whereas, Congress has two powerful tools under the United States Constitution to combat corruption in the executive branch: the power of oversight and the power of the purse. When those with certain beliefs are above the law and those with other beliefs are singled out for harsher treatment or illegally punished for their thoughts, democracy cannot long endure. Congress has a moral and constitutional duty to act to preserve the American people’s First Amendment rights to think for themselves, speak for themselves, and associate with whom they will, especially the rights of those with whom they disagree; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge Congress to investigate the Federal Bureau of Investigation for political corruption and significantly decrease the Bureau’s budget following their unprecedented raid of a President’s home on August 8, 2022; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge the Federal Bureau of Investigation and United States Department of Justice to release the full and unredacted search warrant and supporting affidavit for the August 8 search of President Donald Trump’s home; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Attorney General of the United States.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
Reps. Manoogian, Breen, Haadsma and Weiss offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 348.
A resolution to condemn the ongoing military attacks by the Republic of Azerbaijan on the Republic of Armenia, commend United States diplomats for their efforts to pursue a peaceful, diplomatic solution to the conflict, and call upon the United States government to pause all aid to the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Whereas, In September 2022, the Republic of Azerbaijan initiated a new round of hostilities against the Republic of Armenia, the latest chapter in a long history of conflict between these two nations. At 12:05 a.m. on September 13, 2022, Azerbaijani armed forces attacked civilian and military positions in the municipalities of Sotk, Vardenis, Goris, Kapan, Artanish, and Ishkhanasar within the borders of the Republic of Armenia, using mortars and drones. Residents have reported heavy Azerbaijani shelling along the border with Armenia. The Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, has recognized that this fighting “was initiated by the Azeris”; and
Whereas, Armenian sovereignty and territorial integrity has been repeatedly violated by the Republic of Azerbaijan. As the result of a previous Azerbaijani-instigated incursion in 2021, the Republic of Azerbaijan has occupied 41 square kilometers of Armenian territory. During the current invasion, the Republic of Azerbaijan has now occupied an additional 10 square kilometers in the Republic of Armenia; and
Whereas, This aggression by the Republic of Azerbaijan has exacted a human toll on the people of both nations. As of September 16, 2022, the Republic of Armenia reports that 135 service members have been killed in the fighting, and the Republic of Azerbaijan says 77 members of its military have been killed. Furthermore, Armenians are reporting that the Azerbaijani military has taken 20 Armenians as prisoners of war during this bout of fighting. Both countries note that these totals will likely rise. This escalation of the war by the Republic of Azerbaijan has ignited a new humanitarian crisis within the Republic of Armenia, which reports that more than 7,600 civilians have been displaced from border communities as a result of the renewed violence. Media outlets are also reporting damage done to more than 192 homes. Additionally, these Armenian refugees may have the heart of their communities stolen while the Republic of Azerbaijan controls Armenian territory. Azerbaijani forces have — as standard practice — engaged in the desecration of Armenian cultural and holy sites in areas they have captured, spurred on by state-sponsored anti-Armenian campaigns, which begin in primary school curricula around the country; and
Whereas, United States diplomats in Yerevan, Baku, Geneva, Washington, D.C., and elsewhere are working tirelessly to resolve this conflict and stabilize the region. To facilitate dialogue between the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan, the United States Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, recently appointed Philip Reeker to serve as Senior Advisor for Caucasus Negotiations and Co-Chair of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Minsk Group; and
Whereas, United States statute grants the President the power to deny aid to the Republic of Azerbaijan. Section 907 of the FREEDOM Support Act of 1992 bans almost all direct United States aid to the Azerbaijani government. However, on January 10, 2002, this law was amended to allow the President of the United States to issue a Section 907 waiver, lifting the ban on aid to the Republic of Azerbaijan, if it “is necessary to support United States efforts to counter international terrorism,” “is necessary to support the operational readiness of United States Armed Forces or coalition partners to counter international terrorism,” “is important to Azerbaijan’s border security,” and “will not undermine or hamper ongoing efforts to negotiate a peaceful settlement between Armenia and Azerbaijan or be used for offensive purposes against Armenia.” Since 2002, every sitting President, including President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., has exercised his right to waive Section 907; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we condemn the ongoing military attacks by the Republic of Azerbaijan on the Republic of Armenia and call for a peaceful, diplomatic solution to the conflict that is based in securing a peaceful future for the Armenian people, respecting the territorial integrity of the Republic of Armenia, and protecting human rights and ancient Armenian holy and cultural sites; and be it further
Resolved, The we recognize the ongoing efforts of American diplomats to achieve a long-lasting and peaceful resolution to this conflict; and be it further
Resolved, That we call upon the United States Congress to pause all aid to the Republic of Azerbaijan and call for President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., to rescind the waiver for Section 907 of the FREEDOM Support Act of 1992; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the United States Secretary of State, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and United States Representatives Anna Eshoo of California, Frank Pallone of New Jersey, Adam Schiff of California, and Jackie Speier of California.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
Reps. Shannon, Breen, Haadsma, Hope, Kuppa, Manoogian, Rabhi, Stone and Weiss offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 350.
A resolution to declare October 2022 as Filipino American History Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Michigan is home to more than 32,000 individuals claiming Filipino heritage, who have had a profound and positive impact on this state; and
Whereas, October was the month selected by the Filipino American Historical Society (FANHS) because it was October 1587 in Morro Bay, California, that the first known Filipinos arrived in America; and
Whereas, Since immigrants from the Philippines first established their roots in Michigan, they have become leaders in every aspect of our communities, enriching our schools, businesses, civic life, and social organizations across the state; and
Whereas, Filipino Americans have contributed greatly to music, dance, literature, journalism, sports, fashion, politics, government, science, technology, the fine arts, and other fields in the U.S. that enrich the landscape of this country; and
Whereas, These contributions reflect a culture which values and prioritizes family and community, which takes pride in hard work and diligence, and which celebrates its collective identity; and
Whereas, It is imperative for Filipino-American youth to have positive role models to instill in them the significance of education, complemented with the richness of their ethnicity and the value of their legacy; and
Whereas, Filipino Americans have also improved our state through their commitment to fostering institutions that have helped to eliminate prejudices and stereotypes and establish the kind of cross-cultural dialogue and understanding that makes our state a diverse and welcoming place for all; and
Whereas, Thanks in no small part to the efforts of Michigan’s Filipino Americans, the United States continues to strengthen its relationship with the Filipino American community and to continue to promote the culture, values, history and traditions of the Philippines; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 2022 as Filipino American History Month in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That with the declaration of Filipino American History Month, we acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of Filipino Americans, who have greatly enriched Michigan’s economy, civic life, and state culture.

House Resolution No. 351.
A resolution to declare September 26, 2022, as Mesothelioma Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Mesothelioma cancer is an aggressive, asbestos related disease that affects the linings of the lungs, abdomen, heart, or testicles; and
Whereas, The heavy use of asbestos in manufacturing, industry, and construction has been recognized as the worst occupational health disaster in U.S. history; and
Whereas, Asbestos was used in the construction of most office buildings, hospitals, public schools, power plants, automobile repair shops, refineries, and residential homes built before 1975; and
Whereas, Many mesothelioma cancer victims were exposed to asbestos on U.S. Navy ships and in shipyards; and
Whereas, Asbestos exposure is now believed to include many firefighters, police officers, and rescue workers including those from the September 11, 2001, Ground Zero terrorist attack; and
Whereas, Exposure to asbestos for as little as one month can result in mesothelioma fifteen years later, or even longer; and
Whereas, Because of occupational, Navy service related, household, or incidental exposure to asbestos and the long latency of this cancer disease, tens of millions of Americans are now at risk for developing mesothelioma; and
Whereas, For decades the need for research to develop effective treatments or cure for mesothelioma has been neglected or omitted; and
Whereas, The outcome of neglecting research for a cure to mesothelioma limits today the benefit or effect of existing treatments and many patients with this disease die within twelve to fifteen months from diagnosis;
Whereas, In 2001, the Mesothelioma Research Foundation of America was formed to eradicate the life ending and vicious effects of mesothelioma cancer with early progress in developing an effective treatment and potential cure which is found in Veglin (a non-chemotherapy drug solution) with research and clinical trials continuing to be made; and
Whereas, The establishment of Mesothelioma Awareness Day will help raise public awareness of the disease, how its latency can adversely affect the good health of many people, and for the immediate need to do research and discover an effective treatment or cure for this deadly cancer; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 26, 2022, as Mesothelioma Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

House Resolution No. 352.
A resolution to declare October 2022 as Uterine Fibroids Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas¸ Fibroids may cause significant morbidity through their presence in the uterus and pelvic cavity, causing significant pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, reproductive dysfunction, miscarriages, and even infertility; and
Whereas, The pain, discomfort, stress, and other physical and emotional symptoms of living with fibroids may significantly interfere with a woman’s quality of life, compromising her ability to function normal, work, or care for her family, and may lead to more severe health and wellness issues; and
Whereas, Uterine fibroids are the most prevalent medical condition affecting women, with an estimated 30 percent of women developing a uterine fibroid by age 35 and 80 percent of women developing a uterine fibroid by age 50; and
Whereas, The exact number of affected women is unknown, as early detection and diagnosis are difficult because only 1 out of 4 women who have uterine fibroid exhibit symptoms severe enough to require treatment; and
Whereas, The overall incidence of uterine fibroids is estimated to disproportionately impact Black and Hispanic women, who also experience more severe symptoms, resulting in an incidence rate that is 3 times greater in women with Black ancestry and 2 times greater in Hispanic women compared to Caucasian women; and
Whereas, A hysterectomy, or removal of the uterus, is among the most common surgical treatments for uterine fibroids. More than 200,000 hysterectomies are performed each year to treat uterine fibroids, at an estimated annual cost of more than $2,000,000,000; and
Whereas, Uterine fibroids have been estimated to cost the United States $5,900,000 to $34,400,000,000 annually with an estimated annual lost work cost of $1,600,000,000 to $17,200,000,000 through absenteeism and short-term disability in women ages 25 to 54; and
Whereas, Public awareness and education campaigns on uterine fibroids prevention, screening, and symptoms are held during the month of September each year; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 2022 as Uterine Fibroids Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We recognize the disparity in incidence rates for Black and Hispanic uterine fibroid patients and urge greater research, treatment, and care options regarding uterine leiomyoma.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
House Resolution No. 353.
A resolution to declare October 15, 2022, as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Each year, approximately one million pregnancies in the United States end in miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of a newborn baby. It is a great tragedy to lose the life of a child. Babies sometimes live within or outside their mothers’ wombs for only a short period of time. Even the shortest lives are still valuable and the grief of those who mourn the loss of these lives should not be trivialized; and
Whereas, The observance of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day may provide validation to those who have lost a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death; and
Whereas, A public that is informed and educated about miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss can better learn how to respond with compassion to affected families. Professionals who come in contact with families who have suffered such losses, such as physicians, clergy, emergency medical technicians, funeral directors, police officers, public health nurses, educators, and employers, can better serve families if they have better knowledge of pregnancy and infant loss; and
Whereas, Recognizing Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day will provide the people of the state of Michigan with an opportunity to increase their understanding of the great tragedy involved in the deaths of unborn and newborn babies; and
Whereas, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day will enable the people of Michigan to consider how, as individuals and communities, they can meet the needs of bereaved mothers, fathers, and family members, and work to prevent the causes of these deaths; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 15, 2022, as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day in the state of Michigan. We support the goals and ideals of National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day; and be it further

Reps. Young, Bezotte, Breen, Cherry, Clemente, Garza, Haadsma, Hope, Kuppa, Liberati, Morse, Rabhi, Rogers, Sabo, Sneller, Steenland, Stone, Weiss, Whiteford and Yaroch offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 354.
A resolution to declare October 2022 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), Domestic Violence Awareness Month was launched nationwide in October 1981 as a way to connect and unite individuals and organizations working on domestic violence issues and raise awareness for those issues; and
Whereas, NCADV defines domestic violence as the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another. It includes physical violence, sexual violence, psychological violence, and emotional abuse; and
Whereas, Domestic violence impacts individuals in every community of our state, regardless of age, economic status, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, or nationality; and
Whereas, Perpetrators of domestic violence intentionally engage in a pattern of behavior to exert coercive control in intimate partner relationships, violating the fundamental human rights of those they abuse; and
Whereas, According to the NCADV, 36.1 percent of Michigan women and 25.8 percent of Michigan men experience intimate partner physical violence, intimate partner rape and/or intimate partner stalking in their lives. In fact, in just a single day in 2019, Michigan domestic violence programs provided services to 3,204 adult and child survivors. Another 376 requests for services went unmet due to lack of resources. In 2019, 57,018 incidents of domestic violence were reported to Michigan police and many others went unreported. In 2019, there were 44 reported domestic violence murders in Michigan; and
Whereas, Domestic violence is deadly. According to the NCADV, between 2008 and 2017, there were 903 reported domestic violence murders and non-negligent manslaughters; and
Whereas, While throughout the last three decades, much progress has been made to support domestic violence victims and survivors and to hold abusers accountable, continued awareness, education, and action are crucial to intervention in and prevention of domestic violence; and
Whereas, We must work together to educate our entire population about what can be done to prevent domestic violence, hold perpetrators accountable, support the individual and unique needs of 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 October 2022 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Brenda Carter, Breen, Haadsma, Hope, Manoogian, Morse, Rabhi, Stone and Weiss offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 355.
A resolution to declare October 4, 2022, as EV Charging Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, As of 2019, transportation sector emissions were responsible for 28 percent of Michigan’s overall greenhouse gas emissions, with gas-powered cars comprising 65 percent; and,
Whereas, Electric vehicles (EVs), which are critical to reducing state transportation emissions, are the future of automotive manufacturing, predicted to make up over 50 percent of new vehicle sales by 2030; and
Whereas, Michigan’s automotive industry employs 1.1 million workers and automotive-related jobs are expected to grow another 3 percent in 2022; and
Whereas, Michigan is home to 96 of the top 100 automotive suppliers. Our state has received over $25 billion in investments since 2010, more than any other state; and
Whereas, Prioritizing the adoption of EVs in Michigan has driven a national trend, with sales surpassing a record 2.6 percent of the U.S. market in 2021; and
Whereas, With strategic public-private partnerships over the next decade, Michigan can grow its share of EV manufacturing and continue to serve as the global epicenter of the automotive industry through the broader transition to EVs; and
Whereas, To facilitate broader EV adoption, the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s Charge Up Michigan program has already funded deployment of over 80 publicly accessible EV chargers in the state; and
Whereas, Michigan’s Healthy Climate Plan sets a goal to build enough infrastructure to support 2 million EVs by 2030; and
Whereas, With President Biden’s leadership, the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act and Inflation Reduction Act made $5 billion in investments necessary for EV charging to help accelerate EV adoption across public and private sectors, of which Michigan will receive $110 million over five years; and
Whereas, Increasing investments from global leaders like Detroit-based General Motors and Ford Motor Company, as well as international leaders such as Quebec-based FLO, an international pioneer in the EV charging solutions industry, are coming to Michigan to establish an EV epicenter; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representative, That the members of this legislative body declare October 4, 2022, as EV Charging Day in Michigan. We encourage all people in our state to join in this observance.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Transportation.
Reps. Posthumus, Breen, Garza, Haadsma, Koleszar, Kuppa, Morse, Rogers, Sabo, Steenland, Weiss and Whiteford offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 356.
A resolution to declare October 2022 as Library Appreciation Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The Michigan Library Association (MLA) annually designates the month of October as a statewide observance to celebrate the contributions of Michigan’s public, school, academic, tribal, cooperative, and special libraries; and
Whereas, Michigan’s libraries continue to evolve and expand their services and now offer more programs, events, services, resources, and collections than ever to serve and support their communities; and
Whereas, Libraries are now dynamic centers of discovery and lifelong learning – serving as concert venues, art galleries, tourist destinations, meeting spaces, community living rooms, makerspaces, study rooms, and more; and
Whereas, Libraries now offer patrons much more to borrow than books, including tablets and laptops, mobile hotspots, tools, games, movies, music, and more – serving as an indispensable resource for children, teens, adults, and seniors; and
Whereas, Libraries provide free access to information to millions of Michiganders allowing them to explore and discover a vast world of information and entertainment; and
Whereas, Libraries provide materials and programs that are as diverse as the people they serve, while protecting patron’s privacy and supporting their right to read; and
Whereas, Libraries serve as the primary point of access for people without internet or access to computers, enabling everyone to connect to the people and ideas of the world; and
Whereas, Michigan libraries are indispensable educational and cultural institutions in the heart of our communities, offering Michiganders a place to gather, socialize, study, and learn; and
Whereas, Hundreds of libraries and millions of library supporters across Michigan are celebrating Michigan Library Appreciation Month this October; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 2022 as Michigan Library Appreciation Month in the state of Michigan. During this time, all residents are encouraged to visit their library in person or virtually and connect to the numerous services, resources, and collections their library now provides.

The resolution was adopted.

House Resolution No. 357.
A resolution to declare October 2022 as Disability Employment Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The percentage of adults with a disability in Michigan is 29% of the population or 1 in 3 adults and roughly 66.2% are unemployed; and
Whereas, People with disabilities in Michigan share with the rest of the state’s nearly 10 million residents the right to work in competitive integrated work environments with needed supports; and
Whereas, Disabled people make up the largest minority group in the world. Yet, our schools, businesses, government, and communities often fail to promote accessible, equitable, and inclusive solutions to reverse the plummeting unemployment rate for Michiganders with disabilities; and
Whereas, There are economic development and job growth efforts underway in the legislature and throughout Michigan, such as establishing the world’s first-ever inclusive and accessible film studio, built with disabled people in mind, implementing universal design; and
Whereas, Celebrating the abilities and contributions of people with disabilities can only serve to enrich the communities of Michigan and enhance our diversity; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 2022 as Disability Employment Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We recognize the vital role people with disabilities play in making the nation’s workforce diverse and inclusive.
