“Assalam Alaykum (Peace be with you)
In view of a world enveloped in conflict, dehumanization, hatred, polarization and division we pray to the Almighty for sustainable peace, justice and prosperity for all people. May God Almighty bless this house and our leadership with divine guidance and a sense of responsibility to serve and unite us. I pray with the following words from the Holy Quran:
Arabic recitation (1:1-7)
‘All praise and thanks belong to the Lord of all creation. The Merciful, the Oft-Forgiving. The Master of the Day of Judgment. You alone O God we worship and You alone O God we seek help from. So guide us to the upright path. The path of those You blessed. Not the path of those You were angry with. Nor the path of those who went astray.’
May God’s guidance, mercy, healing and help lead us to a better future.
Amen.”

House Resolution No. 258.
A resolution to declare May 2024 as ALS Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), known by many as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive fatal neurodegenerative disease in which a person’s brain loses connection with the muscles, slowly taking away their ability to walk, talk, eat, and eventually breathe; and
Whereas, Every 90 minutes someone is diagnosed with ALS and someone passes away from ALS; and
Whereas, On average, patients diagnosed with ALS only survive two to five years from the time of diagnosis; and
Whereas, ALS has no cure; and
Whereas, People who have served in the military are more likely to develop ALS and die from the disease than those with no history of military service; and
Whereas, Securing access to new therapies, durable medical equipment, and communication technologies is of vital importance to people living with ALS; and
Whereas, Clinical trials play a pivotal role in evaluating new treatments, enhancing quality of life, and fostering assistive technologies for those living with ALS; and
Whereas, We celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Ice Bucket Challenge through a renewed commitment to galvanize public awareness and support funding leading to significant investments in ALS research; and
Whereas, The ALS Association, as the largest philanthropic funder of ALS research globally, has committed over $154 million to support more than 550 projects across the United States and 18 other countries; and
Whereas, Our commitment to accelerating
the pace of discovery remains unwavering, fueled by the hope that one day, ALS
will be a livable disease for everyone, everywhere, until we can cure it; and
Whereas, ALS Awareness Month increases the public’s awareness of people with ALS’ dire circumstances, and acknowledges the terrible impact this disease has, not only on the person but on his or her family and the community, and recognizes the research being done to eradicate this disease; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2024 as ALS Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We call upon all Americans to join in supporting ALS research, advocating for increased funding, and standing in solidarity with those affected by this relentless disease.

House Resolution No. 257.
A resolution to declare May 5-12, 2024, as Correctional Officers Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The safety and well-being of every Michigander is of the utmost importance, and the correctional officers who work in our correctional facilities dedicate themselves to this critical task each and every day; and
Whereas, In an environment that may become intimidating, aggressive, or even hostile, correctional officers are skilled professionals that are trained to maintain composure while preserving safety and property, and restraining persons that may be dangerous to themselves or others; and
Whereas, These honorable men and women are hard-working and committed public servants, and without their expertise and service, Michigan’s correctional facilities would be unable to operate as successfully and efficiently as they do today; and
Whereas, During this week, we join with the Michigan Department of Corrections and the Michigan Corrections Organization to recognize every correctional officer that serves in Michigan. We thank them for the essential role they play in helping to protect the people of Michigan; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives,
That the members of this legislative body declare
May 5-12, 2024, as Correctional Officers Week in the state of Michigan.

House Resolution No. 256.
A resolution to declare May 14, 2024, as Hmong Special Guerrilla Units Remembrance Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The first Hmong families arrived in the United States as refugees of war in 1976, with thousands settling in the state of Michigan; and
Whereas, During the Vietnam War, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and United States Armed Forces recruited, organized, trained, and assisted Hmong forces to combat the North Vietnamese Army and communist Pathet Lao forces; and
Whereas, Hmong guerrilla soldiers courageously fought alongside Americans during the “Secret War” in Laos; and
Whereas, Thousands of Hmong men, women and children died in Laos. Their deaths were unaccounted for, while their commitment to rescuing downed American pilots and saving U.S. troops never wavered; and
Whereas, When the U.S withdrew from Laos, the Hmong faced harsh retribution from the Communist government for their involvement in the American war effort and many were ultimately forced to flee their native land; and
Whereas, On May 14th, 1975, the American Central Intelligence Agency withdrew from Laos, and the Hmong veterans and their families began their journey to new beginnings; and
Whereas, Michigan is home to a significant
number of Hmong refugees, after providing political asylum and citizenship
because of their unique contribution to American interests; and
Whereas, The House of Representatives, recognizes that the state of Michigan is home to a significant number of Hmong Americans and the importance of educating the general public about the historic contributions of our Hmong American residents; and
Whereas, The diversity of the Hmong people adds much to the cultural fabric of our city, state, and country, as they have shared their traditions, food, and practices of faith; and
Whereas, Today, the House of Representatives joins in reflecting on the tremendous heroism and sacrifice of our Hmong American community; and
Whereas, We honor their commitment to leadership, establishment of businesses, and contribution to the economic growth of our state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives,
That the members of this legislative body declare
May 14, 2024, as Hmong Special Guerrilla Units Remembrance Day in the state of
Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Young, Rogers, MacDonell, Coffia, Whitsett, Hope, Farhat, Smit, Thompson, McKinney, Edwards, O’Neal, Grant, Neeley, Brenda Carter, Aiyash, Alexander, Bezotte, Brabec, Byrnes, Fitzgerald, Fox, Glanville, Haadsma, Hill, Hood, Miller, Paiz, Rheingans, Weiss, Witwer and Xiong offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 259.
A resolution to declare May 2024 as Foster Care Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Recognizing National Foster Care Awareness Month is an opportunity to shine a light on the challenges children in the foster care system face and encouraging the Legislature to implement policy to continue to improve the lives of children in the foster care system. Legislation to improve the education of children in foster care in of was signed into law this year, more work needs to be done; and
Whereas, It is also a time to acknowledge foster parents, family members, volunteers, mentors, policymakers, and child welfare professionals who help children and youth in foster care find permanent homes and connections. We use this time to renew our commitment to ensuring a bright future for the more than 391,000 children and youth in foster care across the country and we celebrate those who make a meaningful difference in their lives; and
Whereas, Children in foster care who are placed with relatives, compared to children placed with nonrelatives, have more stability, including fewer changes in placements, have more positive perceptions of their placements, are more likely to be placed with their siblings, and demonstrate fewer behavioral problems; and
Whereas, An increased emphasis on prevention and reunification services is necessary to reduce the number of children that are forced to remain in the foster care system; and
Whereas, More than 18,000 youth “age out” of foster care every year without a legal permanent connection to an adult or family, according to the National Foster Youth Institute; and
Whereas, Children who age out of foster care lack the security and support of a biological or adoptive family and frequently struggle to secure affordable housing, obtain health insurance, pursue higher education, and acquire adequate employment; and
Whereas, Children entering foster care often confront the widespread misperception that children in foster care are disruptive, unruly, and dangerous, even though placement in foster care is based on the actions of a parent or guardian, not the child; and
Whereas, According to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, children in foster care may be at greater risk for mental health problems; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2024 as Foster Care Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We encourage more citizens to volunteer their time to become mentors to children in foster care and we realize that the state of Michigan must do more to support these children and prepare them to live healthy and productive lives.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
