“Gracious Heavenly Father,
I want to thank You for the opportunity given to me today, as a pastor, to stand with the men and women of this house in the great state of Michigan.
I want to thank You for Your love, leadership and hand of protection that You provide for us each day.
I want to thank You for the privilege to seek Your wisdom, discernment and compassion as You have told us You would give, if we would just ask.
I ask that You bless the men and women in this house, protect them and their families. Guide them with the grace and mercy that only You can give as they have so many decisions that need to be made that will affect the people that have elected them to these positions.
I ask that as they discuss, debate and decide the best courses of action, the best way to serve the people, the best way to make Michigan shine, that they would seek Your council and guidance to do what You would do and to know that if they would follow Your leadership, that their decisions will be the right ones for our state.
Thank You for allowing us to live in a free nation, to worship, work together and strive to truly make our neighbors, families and friends a more informed, educated and grateful people.
Lord, I ask in closing that You would bestow a special blessing today on the men and women that I stand before. I ask again that You guide them daily and that the work they do here would be right in Your sight and beneficial to the people of this state.
Thank You for hearing our prayers today. In Jesus name amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Jaime Greene, Morgan, Bezotte, Breen, Byrnes, Fox, Haadsma, Hope, MacDonell, Rheingans, Schuette and Wilson offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 280.
A resolution to express our commitment to strengthening and deepening ties between the state of Michigan and Taiwan.
Whereas, Taiwan shares values of freedom, democracy, human rights, rule of law, peace, and prosperity with the United States and the state of Michigan; and
Whereas, Taiwan and the United States are key partners in trade. The United States ranks as Taiwan’s second-largest trading partner, and in 2022, Taiwan was the United States’ ninth-largest goods trading partner. Bilateral trade in goods and services reached nearly 160 billion dollars that year; and
Whereas, Taiwan is a particularly important market for United States agricultural products. Taiwan imported 4.4 billion dollars’ worth of United States farm products in 2022, making it the sixth-largest export market for United States food and agricultural products. In 2023, Taiwan was our nation’s sixth-largest export market for soybeans and our eighth-largest export market for corn, individually. This is particularly impressive when considered on a per capita basis, as Taiwan has a relatively small population compared to most of our large agricultural export markets. Due to our nation’s high-quality produce, the United States remains one of Taiwan’s largest sources of agricultural products, supplying more than one-fifth of Taiwan’s agricultural imports in 2022; and
Whereas, Taiwan and the state of Michigan have enjoyed a long and mutually beneficial relationship. Michigan has a vibrant Taiwanese American community that has enriched the state’s culture, cuisine, and commerce for decades. Taiwan was Michigan’s tenth-largest export market in Asia in 2023, with over 247 million dollars’ worth of Michigan goods exported to Taiwan that year. In early March 2024, the state of Michigan opened the Michigan Taiwan Office to promote further investment by Taiwanese firms in our state. There is great potential for future growth if we continue to deepen our ties with Taiwan; and
Whereas, In conducting business with Taiwan, Michigan businesses should refer to Taiwan as “Taiwan.” In 1979, the United States enacted the Taiwan Relations Act to provide for the continuation of relations between the people of the United States and the people on the island of Taiwan. Section 4(b)(1) of the act provides: “Whenever the laws of the United States refer or relate to foreign countries, nations, states, governments, or similar entities, such terms shall include and such laws shall apply with respect to Taiwan.” Thus, it is legitimate for Michigan businesses to refer to Taiwan as “Taiwan” when conducting business and establishing ties with Taiwan; and
Whereas, The United States is actively taking steps to strengthen bilateral trade between the United States and Taiwan. On June 1, 2023, representatives of the American Institute in Taiwan and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States signed a bilateral trade agreement under the U.S.‑Taiwan Initiative on 21st Century Trade, and Congress enacted legislation to approve and implement that agreement in August 2023. Negotiations regarding a second agreement are ongoing. While this progress is encouraging, an avoidance of double taxation agreement for Taiwan has not yet been enacted, and Taiwan remains excluded from the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity. The United States could take further action to encourage bilateral investment and technical collaboration through tariff reduction and other trade facilitation measures; and
Whereas, Taiwan has undertaken a policy of “steadfast diplomacy” in its foreign relations, prioritizing mutual assistance and robust relationships with governments that share common values. Taiwan is capable of, and willing to, fulfill its responsibilities and collaborate with the world to deal with the challenges of humanitarian aid and disease control; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we express our commitment to the strengthening and deepening of ties between the state of Michigan and Taiwan; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge all enterprises in Michigan to refer to Taiwan as “Taiwan,” consistent with the Taiwan Relations Act; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge the United States and Taiwan to enter into additional bilateral trade agreements and an avoidance of double taxation agreement; and be it further
Resolved, That we support the inclusion of Taiwan in the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity; and be it further
Resolved, That we support Taiwan’s meaningful participation in international organizations, such as the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the International Civil Aviation Organization, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the International Criminal Police Organization, which impact the health, safety, and well-being of the people of Taiwan; and be it further
Resolved, That we support Taiwan’s aspiration to make more contributions in international societies; and be it further
Resolved, That we support Taiwan in its efforts to increase its international profile.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. McKinney, Morse, Brabec, Farhat, Skaggs, Martus, Conlin, MacDonell, Arbit, Tsernoglou, Dievendorf, Grant, Rheingans, McFall, Haadsma, Young, Hoskins, Morgan, O’Neal, Neeley, Scott, Rogers, Aiyash, Breen, Byrnes, Hope, Wegela and Wilson offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 281.
A resolution to declare June 13, 2024, as CVI Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Community violence, which includes homicide and non-fatal shootings, causes substantial harm and trauma to communities across Michigan, especially in racially segregated and historically disinvested neighborhoods. Community violence continues to be a significant and growing public health problem; and
Whereas, People who live in communities experiencing violence are at a higher risk for developing chronic diseases and may have limited opportunities to engage in healthy behaviors, such as using recreational spaces and accessing healthy food outlets; and
Whereas, The need for effective violence intervention strategies is evident across various Michigan municipalities, including Muskegon Heights, Detroit, Benton Harbor, Jackson, Harper Woods, Flint, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and Albion, where crime rates exceed state and national averages, posing significant challenges to public safety and community well-being; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan has made significant investment in Community Violence Intervention programs, including recently announcing a new director of the newly created Office of Community Violence Intervention Services in the Executive Office, to partner with community-based organizations and local communities working to reduce violent incidents by providing grants and other resources to community violence prevention agencies; and
Whereas, As dedicated advocates for community violence intervention programs have shown, we have witnessed significant success in reducing violence within the city of Detroit, achieving a remarkable 72% decrease in the Cody Rouge neighborhood since January 2024 and a 57-year low in homicide city wide; and
Whereas, We firmly believe that extending this recognition statewide will amplify our collective efforts to foster safer communities and combat the root causes of violence; and
Whereas, By declaring June 13th as CVI Day, Michigan has an opportunity to honor the invaluable contributions of organizations and individuals dedicated to community violence intervention and to mobilize support for comprehensive, statewide initiatives focused on violence reduction and community resilience; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 13, 2024, as CVI Day in the state of Michigan. We recognize and honor the remarkable people and organizations for their tireless dedication and innovative efforts to raise awareness and promote proactive measures to address community violence, acknowledging the critical importance of community-driven intervention efforts; and be it further
Resolved, That we encourage all Michiganders to use this day as an opportunity to support Community Violence Intervention initiatives for its unwavering commitment to providing vital learning opportunities for the youth of Michigan to strengthen their financial literacy.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Rep. McKinney moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:
Substitute for House Resolution No. 281.

House Resolution No. 282.
A resolution to declare June 17, 2024, as Black Men Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Black Men Awareness Day is to recognize the achievements and contributions of Black men, and the significant role they play towards enhancing the family and the community in which they live; and
Whereas, Black Men Awareness Day is a day where Black men come together to highlight the positive impact they make on the community every single day and inspire more Black youth and men to serve their family and community; and
Whereas, Black Men Awareness Day is a day to bring awareness to the hurdles and adversities that Black men experience and conquer in the face of systemic racism and cultural barriers, and to honor the unique accomplishments of Black men in our state despite these struggles; and
Whereas, Black men play significant roles in society. They are politicians, construction workers, doctors, barbers, lawyers, police officers, accountants, educators, bankers, machine operators, electricians, business owners, auto workers, plumbers, bus drivers, caregivers, social workers, and countless other professions that help people within the community every day. Above all, they are sons, husbands, fathers, brothers, nephews, friends, and co-workers; and
Whereas, Black Men Awareness Day serves to recognize the strength of Black men, and highlight prominent Black men throughout history, and all the contributions that Black men give to the community, no matter how major or minor they may be; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 17, 2024, as Black Men Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
