Rep. Mike McFall, from the 8th District, offered the following invocation:

 

“Have You Earned Your Tomorrow?

Is anybody happier because you passed his way?

Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today?

This day is almost over, and its toiling time is through;

Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you?

Did you give a cheerful greeting to the friend who came along?

Or a churlish sort of ‘Howdy’ and then vanish in the throng?

Were you selfish pure and simple as you rushed along the way,

Or is someone mighty grateful for a deed you did today?

Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that’s slipping fast,

That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed?

Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said;

Does a man whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead?

Did you waste the day, or lose it, was it well or sorely spent?

Did you leave a trail of kindness or a scar of discontent?

As you close your eyes in slumber do you think that God would say,

You have earned one more tomorrow by the work you did today?”

The Speaker called the Speaker Pro Tempore to the Chair.

Rep. Jamie Greene, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

Victims’ privacy must be protected. This bill does not provide that protection. While I understand what it is trying to be accomplished, the victims should not be contacted after the fact that an organization has their information, they should be the ones giving the permission first. This Bill is not written that way.”

House Resolution No. 116.

A resolution to declare June 2023 as Dairy Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Michigan’s dairy industry is one of the largest agricultural industries in our state with an annual economic impact of $24.36 billion. Our state’s dairy farmers and processors play an important role in feeding Michiganders and people across the nation; and

Whereas, Michigan has 914 permitted dairy farms of all sizes in our state, with farmers who take great pride in producing safe, nutritious, and delicious products for Michiganders; and

Whereas, There are 430,000 dairy cows, which produced nearly twelve billion pounds of milk in 2022, ranking Michigan sixth in the nation for milk production; and

Whereas, Michigan ranks first in milk production per cow among all states in the United States with an average of 27,430 pounds produced per cow in 2022; and

Whereas, Michigan’s dairy industry generates 111,016 jobs directly and indirectly, both on and off the farm; and

Whereas, Michigan dairy businesses have a range of technologies, from large dairy processors with automated ‘robotic’ milking systems to smaller on-farm artisanal cheese makers. Dairy processing in Michigan supports farm families and communities across the state and keeps healthy, nutritious dairy products affordable for all residents; and

Whereas, Dairy products, including milk, cheese, sour cream, ice cream, and more, are both delicious and nutritious. Milk alone provides 22% of the calcium, 40% of the vitamin D and 10% of the potassium in the American diet. Research shows that healthy eating styles, including low-fat and fat-free dairy foods, are linked to a reduced risk of some of the most prevalent chronic diseases in the U.S., as well as improved bone health; and

Whereas, National Dairy Month is traditionally celebrated in June to encourage Americans to reduce the risks of osteoporosis, high blood pressure, obesity, and colon cancer through consumption of dairy products and help parents and caregivers teach children the importance of healthy eating habits, good nutrition, and physical activity, and how dairy fits into a well-balanced, healthy meal plan; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 2023 as Dairy Month in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

House Resolution No. 117.

A resolution to declare June 3-11, 2023, as Great Lakes and Fresh Water Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Michigan is the Great Lake State and collectively the Great Lakes contain over 80% of North America’s surface fresh water. Michigan is also home to over 10,000 inland lakes and tens of thousands of miles of rivers and streams; and

Whereas, Michigan’s fresh water supports essential state industries including tourism, fishing, transportation, agriculture, and outdoor recreation; and

Whereas, Michigan’s waterways support biodiversity across the state by linking wetlands, dunes, coastal, and aquatic ecosystems; and

Whereas, Michigan’s fresh water links our communities to those of other states. This vital natural resource is enjoyed by people throughout the Great Lakes region. Michigan must take care to act as a leader in protecting fresh water and conserving our most fundamentally important natural resource; and

Whereas, The resiliency supported by access to fresh water supports Michigan communities as they cope with the impacts of climate change, which is already causing an increase in extreme weather events as well as other significant economic challenges; and

Whereas, Michigan’s economy will continue to benefit from the desire of state leaders to foster a water-literate workforce and open career pathways centered around the state’s abundant freshwater resources; and

Whereas, Affordable, clean water is a vital component of public health. State leaders must remain focused on ensuring equitable access to clean water for all communities. To that end, Michigan must continue to invest in its water infrastructure and ensure that no municipality, neighborhood, or school district is unable to provide water to its people; and

Whereas, Michigan seeks to manage its water resources in a way that is environmentally just, and to work in close partnership with federal, state, local, regional, tribal, and provincial partners; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 3-11, 2023, as Great Lakes and Fresh Water Week in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Dievendorf, Andrews, Arbit, Brabec, Breen, Brixie, Byrnes, Brenda Carter, Tyrone Carter, Churches, Coffia, Conlin, Edwards, Fitzgerald, Glanville, Grant, Haadsma, Hill, Hood, Hope, Hoskins, Koleszar, Liberati, MacDonell, Martus, McKinney, Mentzer, Miller, Morse, Neeley, O’Neal, Pohutsky, Price, Puri, Rheingans, Rogers, Scott, Shannon, Skaggs, Snyder, Steckloff, Stone, Tsernoglou, Wegela and Weiss offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 118.

A resolution to declare June 2023 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) Pride Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Pride began in 1970 with the one year anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, a multi-day protest that is credited by many for starting the modern-day LGBTQ+ movement. In 1969, LGBTQ+ individuals, led by the efforts of Black and Brown trans women such as activists Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, risked their lives to protest the over-policing and injustice that threatened their existence daily, and elevated the visibility of the movement to a national scale; and

Whereas, The LGBTQ+ community has persevered through tragedies and struggles, such as the government’s insufficient and delayed response to assisting those with HIV/AIDS and the ongoing effort to protect the rights and ensure the safety of the LGBTQ+ community; and

Whereas, The movement has also celebrated victories of recognition, especially the historic Obergefell v. Hodges decision in 2015 which recognized marriage equality nationwide, the Bostock v. Clayton County decision in 2020 that upheld federal employment protections for the LGBTQ+ community, and Rouch World v. Department of Civil Rights in 2022 that affirmed LGBTQ+ protections are included in Michigan’s Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act; and

Whereas, After a fifty-year legislative effort, the Michigan House and Senate in its 102nd Legislature at long last added sexual orientation and gender identity or expression as protected classes in the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act, which was signed into law as Public Act 6 of 2023; and

Whereas, Still today, the LGBTQ+ community, and disproportionally trans women of color, continue to be a target of harassment, violence, and discrimination, yet through community support and solidarity continues to celebrate love, authentic living, and self-acceptance; and

Whereas, Michigan stands out in this watershed moment as a state that embraces equality because our communities benefit from diversity and variety in viewpoints, talents, and cultural perspectives of its residents and from preserving the freedom, worth, and dignity of those in the LGBTQ+ community; and

Whereas, Michigan should expend all efforts to attract and retain talent and signal to the nation we are welcoming to all those who wish to contribute to the economic vitality of our state; and

Whereas, The people of Michigan understand, appreciate, and value the cultural, civic, and economic contributions of the LGBTQ+ communities to the larger success of the state, and affirm a celebration of love, living authentically, and accepting ourselves; and

Whereas, Michigan commits to the learning, humility and work necessary to make the state fair, safe, equitable and a refuge of stability regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression; and

Whereas, June is recognized and celebrated as LGBTQ+ Pride Month throughout the country and worldwide; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 2023 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) Pride Month in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Rep. Wilson moved that House Committees be given leave to meet during the balance of today’s session.

The motion prevailed.
