Rep. David W. Martin, from the 68th District, offered the following invocation:

 

“Dear Father,

Thank You for the gift to represent Your people in the Great state of Michigan. We recognize that we can never be all things to all people and must balance our foundational beliefs with the needs of all 10 million Michiganders. We may receive praises, experience complacency, and sometimes deal with hatred. We ask for the courage and fortitude to standby our convictions on what we believe to be best for the people and are reminded Your Son warned us, ‘If the world hates you, understand that it hated me before it hated you.’

Please allow us to focus on ‘whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.’

We ask these things in the name of Your living Word,

Amen.”

Reps. McFall, Brabec, Breen, Glanville, Haadsma, Liberati, Morse, Rheingans, Rogers, Schuette and Weiss offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 73.

A resolution to declare April 2023 as Scottish American Heritage Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, On April 6th, 1320, Scottish King Robert I signed the Declaration of Arbroath. This was a letter written to Pope John XXII, responding to his excommunication from the church because the King refused to stop fighting for Scottish Independence; and

Whereas, Scots first came to North America during the colonial era. Many came over due to the British 1717 Transportation Act which established a convict bond service punishment and transportation to North America. A few decades later, following Scottish defeat at the hands of the English in the 1746 Battle of Culloden, Scottish immigration continued to grow in North America; and

Whereas, There are now over 200,000 Scottish Americans living in Michigan and April is a time to reflect and celebrate Scottish roots; and

Whereas, Now Scots and Scottish Americans celebrate their independence through Tartan Day and Tartan Month. A tartan is a patterned cloth consisting of crossed, horizontal, and vertical bands in multiple colors, originally made from woven wool. Tartan patterns are typically associated with traditional Scottish kilts. Sometimes Tartan is confused with plaid, but tartan is specifically woven both horizontally and vertically into the fabric. Tartan has a long history in Scotland; and

Whereas, National Tartan Day was first proposed in Canada in 1986 before the celebration of culture and history came to the United States in 1998; and

Whereas, On Tartan Day, April 6, 2009, the formation of the Scottish American Society of Michigan was announced – a new and different Scottish group whose goal is preserving and furthering Scottish heritage throughout the State of Michigan, as well as to help charitable organizations and individuals in need; and

Whereas, In Michigan, we have the oldest Scottish society in the country, St. Andrew’s Society of Detroit, founded in 1849. The St. Andrews celebrate Scottish heritage in their annual Highland Games, the oldest continuous games in North America, celebrating 174 years of competition and tradition this year; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 2023 as Scottish American Heritage Month in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

Reps. Fox, Johnsen, DeSana, Smit, Beeler, Thompson, Wozniak, Schriver, Rigas, Friske, Cavitt, Meerman, Aragona, Alexander, Slagh, DeBoer, St. Germaine, Breen, Glanville, Haadsma, Liberati, Rheingans and Schuette offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 74.

A resolution to declare April 2-9, 2023, as Holy Week in the state of Michigan and to 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.

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; and

Whereas, This year, Holy Week starts on Palm Sunday, April 2, 2023, and concludes on Easter Sunday, April 9, 2023; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 2-9, 2023, as Holy Week in the state of Michigan and 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,

Rep. Fox demanded the yeas and nays.

The demand was not supported.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

Reps. Shannon, Breen, Fitzgerald, Glanville, Haadsma, Liberati, Morse, Rheingans, Snyder, Weiss and Young offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 75.

A resolution to declare April 17-21, 2023, as National Work Zone Awareness Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, According to the Michigan Department of Transportation, there were 5,814 total work zone crashes, 65 serious injuries and 20 fatalities in our state in 2021. This is slightly higher than the deaths in previous years; and

Whereas, The Federal Highway Administration says that in 2020, the most recent year for which statistics are available throughout the country, 857 people were killed nationwide in work zones- a 1.4 percent increase from 2019. The vast majority, 80 percent, were drivers or their passengers; and

Whereas, An average of 832 people die every year nationwide in such crashes, which are often due to driver inattention, according to federal highway authorities; and

Whereas, The Michigan Department of Transportation stated that the number one cause of crashes is due to traffic lanes being closed and the second leading cause is due to work on the shoulder of the road; and

Whereas, Nationally, around 80 percent of fatalities in road work zones involve drivers and their passengers - not road workers, who are involved in 20 percent of the deaths; and

Whereas, We recognize National Work Zone Awareness Week in memory of all who have died in work zone crashes; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 17-21, 2023, as National Work Zone Awareness Week in the state of Michigan. We urge all Michiganders to slow down, follow all posted signs, be alert, and drive safely through work zones.

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. Neeley, Arbit, Brabec, Breen, Fitzgerald, Haadsma, Hoskins, Liberati, Morse, Rheingans, Rogers, Weiss and Young offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 76.

A resolution to declare April 10-16, 2023, as Black Maternal Health Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Black mothers in the United States die at two to three times the rate of white mothers; and

Whereas, The CDC data from 2021 shows there were 26.6 deaths per 100,000 live births for white women, 69.9 deaths per 100,000 live births for Black women, and 32.9 deaths per 100,000 live births for women of all races in the United States; and

Whereas, Black maternal death is one of the widest of all racial disparities in women’s health; and

Whereas, Black women are 22 percent more likely to die from heart disease than white women and 1.5 times more likely to die from cervical cancer, but three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy- or childbirth-related causes; and

Whereas, According to the National Institutes of Health, when compared with white women with the conditions for preeclampsia, eclampsia, abruptio placentae, placenta previa, and postpartum hemorrhage, which are common causes of maternal death and injury, Black women were two to three times more likely to die than white women who had the same condition; and

Whereas, Between 2014 to 2018, according to the Michigan Maternal Mortality Surveillance Project, Black women in Michigan die at a rate more than 4.5 times higher than white women or 39.6 deaths per 100,000 live births; and

Whereas, The United States, with a maternal mortality rate of 32.9 deaths per 100,000 pregnancies, ranks last among industrialized countries; and

Whereas, These alarming statistics for Black maternal health cut across socioeconomic status, maternal age, and education levels; and

Whereas, The Michigan Legislature recognizes the necessity for the increased attention to the state of Black maternal health, studying and understanding the root causes of poor maternal health outcomes and supporting community-driven programs, care solutions, improving prenatal care and overall maternal health care, improving breastfeeding rates and nutrition, and amplifying the voices of Black mothers, women, families, and stakeholders, including Black women from across the diaspora; and

Whereas, We also recognize the necessity to end maternal mortality globally in order to amplify the need for maternal health and rights; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 10-16, 2023, as Black Maternal Health Week in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.
