Rep. Betsy Coffia, from the 103rd District, offered the following invocation:

“Matthew 25:34-40

New International Version

34 ‘Then the King will say to those on his right, “Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.”

37 Then the righteous will answer him, “Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and invite You in, or needing clothes and clothe You? 39 When did we see You sick or in prison and go to visit You?”

40 The King will reply, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”’”

______

Rep. Bollin, 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:

No funding has been appropriated for HB 5527 and HB 5528. This could be life-saving for students and the policy should stand on its own and funded locally or the State should provide funding with its passage.”

By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Hood, Rogers, Coffia, Scott, MacDonell, Dievendorf, Steckloff, Price, Farhat, Arbit, Brabec, Breen, Byrnes, Glanville, Haadsma, Hill, Hope, Morgan, Morse, Paiz, Rheingans, Weiss, Witwer and Young offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 212.

A resolution to declare March 22, 2024, as Michigan Water Day and World Water Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Since 1993, the United Nations has designated March 22nd as World Water Day; and

Whereas, The theme of World Water Day 2024 is “water for peace”, illuminating ways water can promote peace across national boundaries”; and

Whereas, Water is not only a resource to be used and competed over – it is a human right, intrinsic to every aspect of life; and

Whereas, The long-running, close partnership between the U.S. and Canada in stewarding the Great Lakes offers a globally significant example of the peaceful prevention and resolution of binational water
disputes; and

Whereas, Worsening water scarcity in arid regions of the U.S. raises the specter of demands from those regions for diversions of Great Lakes water; and

Whereas, Water is a human right; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare
March 22, 2024, as Michigan Water Day and World Water Day in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That we commit ourselves to promotion of public awareness to prevent our precious water from pollution and depletion. On this day, we will celebrate and honor the pure water in our state, our country, and our world; and be it further

Resolved, That our state must be vigilant about threats to Great Lakes water that come from arid regions of the U.S., and must take actions to prevent the artificial loss of water, including strict enforcement of the Great Lakes Compact of 2008; and be it further

Resolved, That while we recognize the interconnectedness of humanity and appreciate global challenges, we also recognize our duty as Michiganders in protecting our natural resources and instilling a sense of pride in ourselves and our children for our Great Lakes; and be it further

Resolved, That we cherish and acknowledge the special responsibility of protecting Michigan’s waters for current and future generations and of assuring access to clean water and sanitation for all Michigan residents.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Churches, Wegela, Arbit, Brabec, Breen, Byrnes, Fitzgerald, Haadsma, Hill, Hood, Hope, Morgan, Morse, Paiz, Rheingans, Weiss, Witwer and Young offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 213.

A resolution to declare March 2024 as Endometriosis Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Endometriosis is a disease of the female reproductive system. Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to that normally found in the uterus begins to grow outside of the uterus, leading to chronic, debilitating pelvic pain; and

Whereas, Endometriosis is a leading cause of female infertility. Endometriosis affects 10% (approximately 190 million) of women and girls in their reproductive ages, globally. There is an average of a 10-year delay from the onset of symptoms to the final diagnosis of endometriosis; and

Whereas, American endometriosis patients were hospitalized 105,123 days in 2010 because of their disease. Women with endometriosis can lose 11 hours per work week through lost productivity and absenteeism due to pain. Fifty-one percent of endometriosis patients report that their condition detrimentally affects their job; and

Whereas, The estimated total annual societal burden of endometriosis-related symptoms in the U.S. is $56 billion or $10,824 per patient; and

Whereas, There is no cure for endometriosis. More research is necessary to develop treatment options to manage this debilitating disease. Education is important for promoting awareness of symptoms and early detection and diagnosis of endometriosis; and

Whereas, Endometriosis Awareness Month is the period of time when people recognize the impact of this disease on women’s health and well-being and understand that more work must be done to mitigate negative impacts of endometriosis; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2024 as Endometriosis Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We recognize the significant impacts of this disease on women’s health outcomes.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Fox, Prestin, Cavitt, Zorn, Kuhn, Beeler, Posthumus, DeSana, Jaime Greene, Rigas, Markkanen, Alexander, Fink, Friske, Smit, DeBoer, Roth, Phil Green, Wozniak, Bezotte, Slagh, Paquette, Johnsen, Schmaltz, DeBoyer, Hoadley, Kunse, Beson, BeGole, Meerman, VanderWall, Schuette, Borton, Neyer, Glanville, Haadsma, Rheingans and Schriver offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 214.

A resolution to declare March 24-31, 2024, as Holy Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, This occasion is observed as a time to remember the life, suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ at the end of his earthly ministry. Christians everywhere rejoice in the completion of Jesus’ redemptive work as he rose from the grave three days after dying on a cross. Christians today also observe Holy Week in keeping with nearly two thousand years of church history that began with Jesus’ victory over death; and

Whereas, Throughout two thousand years, on Easter Sunday, faithful followers of Christ exclaim “He is Risen!” to one another and respond by declaring “He is Risen indeed!” to recall the living, eternal hope that they each have in the life of Christ; and

Whereas, Christians in Michigan, our nation, and around the world remember with gratitude and reverence the works of Jesus as he entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, was betrayed to worldly and religious authorities on Maundy Thursday, was crucified on Good Friday, and rose again on Easter Sunday; and

Whereas, During Holy Week, Christians remember Jesus’ work by reading and studying the Bible, especially the historical events of Jesus as described in the Gospels, by praying and by attending church services on Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday, the latter of which is considered the high point of the Christian calendar.

Whereas, This year, Holy Week starts on Palm Sunday, March March 24, and concludes on Easter Sunday, March 31; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 24-31, 2024, as Holy Week in the state of Michigan. We extend best wishes to Christians in Michigan, the United States, and worldwide, for a joyous and meaningful observance of Holy Week, culminating in Easter Sunday, when all Christians celebrate Jesus’ resurrection from the dead.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Rep. Aiyash moved that Rule 71 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.

Reps. Coffia, Arbit, Brabec, Breen, Byrnes, Fitzgerald, Glanville, Haadsma, Hill, Hood, Hope, Morgan, Morse, Paiz, Rheingans, Weiss, Witwer and Young offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 215.

A resolution to declare March 2024 as Social Work Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Social work is a profession dedicated to truly and genuinely helping people; and

Whereas, The primary mission of social work is to enhance human well-being and help meet the basic and complex needs of all people; and

Whereas, Social workers put a particular focus on helping people who are vulnerable, oppressed, or living in poverty; and

Whereas, Social workers follow a code of ethics that calls on them to fight injustice, and respect the dignity and worth of all people; and

Whereas, Social workers meet people where they are and help people and communities reach their full potential; and

Whereas, For more than a century, the social work profession has worked to improve this society, with social workers playing a role in establishing a minimum wage, Social Security, and Medicare, and working to ensure equal rights for all; and

Whereas, Social workers work in all facets of our society, including schools, hospitals, community organizations, the military, mental health centers, social service agencies, corporations, and local, state, and federal government; and

Whereas, Social workers are on the frontlines in helping this nation solve pressing social problems, including an increased demand for mental health services, an opioid addiction crisis, and economic inequality; and

Whereas, Social workers are in high demand, with some states reporting shortages in staffing and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicting that social work will be one of the fastest growing professions in our nation during this decade; and

Whereas, A 2023 public opinion survey found that social work has a public approval rating of more than 80 percent and more than half of Americans say social workers deserve higher pay; and

Whereas, The 2024 Social Work Month theme, “Empowering Social Workers” embodies the need for our society to support social workers so they can continue to do the life-affirming work they do and help address societal needs; and

Whereas, Social workers in turn empower people, communities, and our nation, helping everyone achieve their full potential; and

Whereas, There are over 30,000 licensed social workers in the state of Michigan; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2024 as Social Work Month in the state of Michigan. In recognition of the numerous contributions made by Michigan’s social workers, we call upon all citizens to join us in celebration and support of the social work profession and social workers across our state.

House Resolution No. 216.

A resolution to extend best wishes to Muslims in Michigan, the United States, and worldwide, for a joyous and meaningful observance of Ramadan, a holy month of prayer, fasting, charity, and reflection.

Whereas, This occasion is observed in commitment to the Islamic principles and in remembrance of the month in which the holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH); and

Whereas, This month of sacrifice and contemplation begins on the evening of Sunday, March 10, 2024, based on the visual sightings of the crescent moon. Ramadan continues until the evening of Tuesday, April 9, 2024, with Eid al-Fitr, the celebration of the completion of the month; and

Whereas, Muslims in Michigan, our nation, and around the world will observe Ramadan by fasting, emphasizing self-discipline, worship, charity, and reading the holy Quran to improve patience, humility, and spirituality; and

Whereas, During Ramadan, Muslims spend this period in reflection and prayer while strengthening the bonds of family, friendship, and community. Ramadan is considered the most sacred month of the Islamic calendar; and

Whereas, The Muslim population has been growing in the United States and today’s Muslim American population is a tapestry of ethnic, racial, linguistic, social, and economic groups; and

Whereas, One of the largest populations of Muslims in the United States resides in Michigan and makes meaningful contributions to our state; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body extend best wishes to Muslims in Michigan, the United States, and worldwide, for a joyous and meaningful observance of Ramadan, a holy month of prayer, fasting, charity, and reflection.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
