Rep. Mike Hoadley, from the 99th District, offered the following invocation:
“Colleagues, let us bow our heads and turn together to the Lord Almighty. Let us give Him adoration, confess our faults, thank Him for the blessings of liberty and freedom He graciously bestows upon us every morning, and supplicate on behalf of those who don’t know the truth and goodness of Who You are.
Let us pray.
Jesus, You are the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature. You, Jesus, uphold the universe by the word of Your power. After making purification for our sins, You sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels, as the name You inherited is more excellent than theirs. Jesus, for a time, You were made lower than the angels so that You could be crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God You might taste death for all.
Since then, because we have You as our great high priest – a high priest Who has passed through the heavens, let us hold fast to our confession. For You are not unable to sympathize with our weakness but instead You have been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Let us then with confidence draw near to Your throne of grace in order that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. You alone know our hearts, therefore, search in us any malice, self-ambition, or vain conceit, so that by a clean conscious we may do what is best for those back home and from every corner of our great state.
Having said this, Lord we draw near to You to thank You for the stability as a community, state, and nation we enjoy. We are truly grateful that we are able to utilize logic and reason to communicate our differences with civil tongues. Our state reaps continual blessing throughout the years – we entreat with You Lord to continue to sustain us throughout the remainder of the short years we have to walk Your Earth.
Be present, God of Wisdom, and direct the council of this assembly. Enable us to settle things on the surest foundation; that order and harmony and peace may be established in our state so that truth and justice, and health and wealth flourish among the masses. All these things we ask in the name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Schuette, Cavitt, Markkanen, Borton, Kunse, BeGole, Johnsen, Alexander, Beson, Bezotte, Wendzel, Aragona, Wozniak, Bollin, Smit, Bierlein, Slagh, Carra, Hall, Lightner, Outman, Posthumus, Hoadley, Rigas and Jaime Greene offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 283.
A resolution to urge the President of the United States to reinstate the Migrant Protection Protocols, also known as the Remain in Mexico program, for processing migrants, including asylum-seekers, attempting to enter the United States from Mexico.
Whereas, In general, under section 235 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), if an immigration officer determines that an alien seeking admission to the United States “is not clearly and beyond a doubt entitled to be admitted,” then the alien “shall be detained” for formal removal proceedings. However, under section 235(b)(2)(C) of the INA, if such an alien “is arriving on land . . . from a foreign territory contiguous to the United States, the Attorney General may return the alien to that territory” pending formal removal proceedings. Aliens may also be “parole[d] into the United States temporarily . . . for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit” under section 212(d)(5)(A), but “only on a case-by-case basis”; and
Whereas, On December 20, 2018, the Trump
Administration announced that that it would begin invoking section 235(b)(2)(C)
of the INA to help address the illegal immigration crisis at our southern
border. The Secretary of Homeland Security stated that, pursuant to this
authority, “individuals arriving in or entering the United States from
Mexico—illegally or without proper documentation—may be returned to Mexico for
the duration of their immigration proceedings.” It was predicted that this
would have the effect of deterring non-meritorious asylum claims, which would
help our nation process its enormous backlog of asylum cases. This Trump
Administration program was named the Migrant Protection Protocols, and it came
to be referred to as the Remain in Mexico program; and
Whereas, Implementation of the Remain in Mexico program began on or about January 28, 2019. Under this program, U.S. Customs and Border Protection exercised prosecutorial discretion to decide whether to process aliens under the Remain in Mexico program or other procedures, such as expedited removal. Aliens processed under the Remain in Mexico program would be placed in formal removal proceedings, given a Notice to Appear in immigration court, and returned to Mexico to await their court date. The government of Mexico cooperated with this program, authorizing the entry of these individuals into Mexico and allowing them to apply for work permits; and
Whereas, Immediately upon assuming office, President Biden began taking steps to unwind and eventually terminate the Remain in Mexico program. On January 20, 2021, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that it was suspending new enrollments in the program; on February 2, 2021, President Biden issued an executive order directing the Secretary of Homeland Security to review the Remain in Mexico program and determine whether to terminate or modify the program; and on February 19, 2021, DHS began bringing individuals waiting in Mexico under the program into the United States. The Secretary of Homeland Security issued a memorandum officially terminating the Remain in Mexico program on June 1, 2021, and, after certain legal challenges to that decision were resolved, the program ended in August 2022. In December 2022, a federal district court stayed the termination of the program, holding that the Biden Administration had likely violated the Administrative Procedure Act by making an arbitrary and capricious decision, but, despite this court order, the Remain in Mexico program has not been reimplemented; and
Whereas, Remain in Mexico is an important policy that would help secure our southern border. As was acknowledged in the Biden Administration’s October 29, 2021, memorandum explaining the termination of the program, this policy likely contributed to a decrease in migration flows. After DHS announced that the Remain in Mexico program would be implemented along the entire southwest border in June 2019, the number of apprehensions of migrants along the southwest border decreased dramatically; and
Whereas, The migration crisis along our southwest land border has only intensified in recent years, prompting grave concerns about our national security. Border patrol agents have been overwhelmed, dealing with well over two million encounters with migrants along the southwest land border in each of fiscal year 2022 and fiscal year 2023. Since U.S. immigration authorities do not have the resources to detain every migrant encountered at the border, migrants are instead released en masse under INA section 212(d)(5)(A), on “humanitarian parole.” In order to secure our border, stop the flow of drugs from Mexican cartels, and protect our homeland, we need to reinstate the Remain in Mexico program; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the President of the United States to reinstate the Migrant Protection Protocols, also known as the Remain in Mexico program, for processing migrants, including asylum-seekers, attempting to enter the United States from Mexico; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States and the United States Secretary of Homeland Security.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

House Resolution No. 284.
A resolution to declare June 2024 as National Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that affects approximately 8 million people in the United States, stemming from exposure to events that cause or threaten serious harm or death; and
Whereas, PTSD can manifest in a variety of symptoms including sleep disturbances, irritability, anger, recurrent dreams, intense reactions to trauma reminders, disturbances in relationships, and social isolation. While some individuals may recover within a few months, others may suffer for years, and for some, the onset of PTSD may occur long after the traumatic events; and
Whereas, June is designated as National
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Awareness Month, a period dedicated to raising
public awareness about PTSD, reducing the stigma associated with the disorder,
and ensuring that those suffering from the invisible wounds of war and other
traumas receive the appropriate treatment; and
Whereas, Despite the availability of effective treatments for PTSD, including various types of trauma-focused psychotherapy and medications to manage symptoms, many individuals with PTSD do not receive the help they need; and
Whereas, It is imperative to spread awareness that effective PTSD treatments are available and encourage those affected to seek the help they need and deserve; and
Whereas, June 2024 is recognized as National Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Awareness Month; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare the June 2024 as National Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Awareness Month. We urge all citizens to increase their awareness and understanding of PTSD, promote the available treatments, and support those who suffer from this disorder, ensuring they receive the care and respect they need.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Brenda Carter, O’Neal, Rheingans, Whitsett, Byrnes, Neeley, Farhat, Young, Rogers, Xiong, Morgan, McKinney, Hope, Brabec, Dievendorf, Haadsma, Hood, MacDonell and Paiz offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 285.
Whereas, According to the United States Renal Data System 2023 Annual Data Report, as of 2021, there are 808,536 individuals living with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the United States. A majority of these patients depend on oral-only phosphate binders to stay alive; and
Whereas, The National Kidney Foundation of Michigan reports that more than one million, or one in seven, adults in Michigan have chronic kidney disease (CKD). African Americans account for over one-third of the population of patients on dialysis, despite only representing approximately 13 percent of the United States population. People who are exposed to toxic chemicals in the workplace also have a higher risk of developing kidney disease, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration; and
Whereas, The passage of the Kidney PATIENT Act of 2023 will delay the implementation of policies that would change the payment methodology for oral-only drugs that are used to treat ESRD; and
Whereas, Under current regulations, Medicare issues a payment to ESRD facilities for each dialysis session to cover the bundled costs of the session, inclusive of all renal dialysis items and services, such as drugs, laboratory services, and supplies. These bundled payments do not currently include oral-only ESRD-related drugs, which are paid for under Medicare Part D; and
Whereas, Beginning January 1, 2025, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will incorporate payments for ESRD-related oral-only drugs into the ESRD payment system for each dialysis session, namely phosphate lowering therapies. This poses a significant risk to the accessibility of these vital medications for dialysis patients; and
Whereas, Patients with kidney failure already face unique challenges in managing their care, as they often are also receiving treatment for comorbidities, such as diabetes and hypertension. Shifting payment for oral-only phosphate lowering therapies from Medicare Part D into the ESRD payment system poses a disproportionate impact on minority and low-income communities in Michigan; and
Whereas, By amending the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, the Kidney PATIENT Act of 2023 will delay the changes to the payment methodology until January 1, 2033, or until an intravenous drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is available, whichever is earlier; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the United States Congress to pass the Kidney Patient Access to Technologically Innovative and Essential Nephrology Treatments (PATIENT) Act of 2023; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
