Rep. Cynthia R. Neeley, from the 70th District, offered the following invocation:

 

“Dear God, I would like to take this time out to pray for my leaders.

I pray for the leaders in the body of Christ, Lord I know that they often face challenges that are probably more than my own.

Lord, I pray that as they carry out the work You set out for them to do, may they keep their eyes fixed on You.

May they never be led astray, O Lord, and may they always take delight in You, O God,

In Jesus name.

Amen!”

______

 

 

Rep. Tisdel, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

This legislation creates new vague and subjective regulatory power that does not clarify what practices are prohibited. Mental health professionals need to know that they won’t unintentionally violate the law, but this law could inadvertently ban legitimate, noncontroversial, widely-practiced therapy and prevent kids from getting the mental health care they need.”

 

Rep. Schmaltz, 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:

Threatening mental health professionals with punishment if they cross a vague and confusing line is wrong. I offered an amendment that would have provided much-needed clarity to the convoluted and confusing definition contained in this legislation, but that amendment was defeated. Without any additional clarity, I cannot support these bills. In addition, kids must be allowed to speak freely during therapy about whatever is weighing on their hearts and minds.”

 

Rep. DeBoer, 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:

I voted to put families over vague mandates and radical political agendas. Parents in consultation with qualified medical professionals are better qualified to make important decisions regarding their child’s development--not politicians in Lansing. Further, mental health professionals shouldn’t have to worry about breaking the law when they offer support beyond simply affirming a minor’s sexual orientation or gender identity and guiding children toward social or medical transition. Therapy is not therapy if the conclusion is decided before the conversation begins. Any wise decision involves understanding the pros and cons. This bill negates that.”

 

Rep. Thompson, 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:

I stand by my No Vote because my vote puts families over vague mandates and radical political agendas. A child’s parents, in consultation with qualified medical professionals, are better qualified to make important decisions regarding a child’s development – not lawmakers in Lansing. In addition, mental health professionals shouldn’t have to worry about breaking the law when they offer support beyond simply affirming someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity and guiding them toward social or medical transition. This bill is not what nit says it is, I am very disappointed in how it misleads the residents of this great state.”

 

Rep. Steele, 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:

I cannot in good faith vote for misguided legislation that potentially harms our children. Kids should not be expected to make such difficult decisions. The child’s parents, in consultation with qualified medical professionals, are better qualified to make important decisions regard a child’s development – not lawmakers in Lansing. What we need to instead focus on here is expanding reliable access to mental health care.”

 

 

House Bill No. 4617, entitled

The question being on the passage of the bill,

(b) “Sexual orientation” means that term as defined in section 103 of the Elliott-Larsen civil rights act, 1976 PA 453, MCL 37.2103.”

Rep. Tisdel, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

This legislation creates new vague and subjective regulatory power that does not clarify what practices are prohibited. Mental health professionals need to know that they won’t unintentionally violate the law, but this law could inadvertently ban legitimate, noncontroversial, widely-practiced therapy and prevent kids from getting the mental health care they need.”

 

Rep. Schmaltz, 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:

Threatening mental health professionals with punishment if they cross a vague and confusing line is wrong. I offered an amendment that would have provided much-needed clarity to the convoluted and confusing definition contained in this legislation, but that amendment was defeated. Without any additional clarity, I cannot support these bills. In addition, kids must be allowed to speak freely during therapy about whatever is weighing on their hearts and minds.”

 

Rep. DeBoer, 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:

I voted to put families over vague mandates and radical political agendas. Parents in consultation with qualified medical professionals are better qualified to make important decisions regarding their child’s development--not politicians in Lansing. Further, mental health professionals shouldn’t have to worry about breaking the law when they offer support beyond simply affirming a minor’s sexual orientation or gender identity and guiding children toward social or medical transition. Therapy is not therapy if the conclusion is decided before the conversation begins. Any wise decision involves understanding the pros and cons. This bill negates that.”

Rep. Thompson, 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:

I stand by my No Vote because my vote puts families over vague mandates and radical political agendas. A child’s parents, in consultation with qualified medical professionals, are better qualified to make important decisions regarding a child’s development – not lawmakers in Lansing. In addition, mental health professionals shouldn’t have to worry about breaking the law when they offer support beyond simply affirming someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity and guiding them toward social or medical transition. This bill is not what nit says it is, I am very disappointed in how it misleads the residents of this great state.”

 

Rep. Steele, 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:

I cannot in good faith vote for misguided legislation that potentially harms our children. Kids should not be expected to make such difficult decisions. The child’s parents, in consultation with qualified medical professionals, are better qualified to make important decisions regard a child’s development – not lawmakers in Lansing. What we need to instead focus on here is expanding reliable access to mental health care.
