Rep. Stephanie A. Young, from the 16th District, offered the following invocation:

 

“Lord God, we bless Your name on today for truly You are a God Who sits high and looks low. You are a God Who cares about Your people, all of us Lord. And so, we are grateful to be in this chamber, God, we are grateful to be of service to the great people here in the state of Michigan. As is written in the book of Luke, Chapter 12, it talks about: to whom much is given, much is required. God, we do not take the responsibility of being legislators lightly. For God we know that much responsibility has been given to us, much care has been given to us. We’ve been sent here to do what’s right by Your people God. And so today, Lord, we ask that You would humbly come by here, and keep us focused on the main thing, and that’s what’s best for the people in the state of Michigan, that’s what’s best for those whom we represent in our districts, for those things that are what’s best for us as a whole and as Your people. God, I pray that if we don’t do anything else today, that we would show love, one to another. That we would have patience and grace for one another and that we’ll do it all, knowing that we are here to serve. Father, I pray in Jesus’ name, but I ask that all others pray as you believe. Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Snyder, Alexander, Bezotte, Haadsma, Koleszar, Liberati, McFall, Morse, Paiz, Rheingans, Rogers and Witwer offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 152.

A resolution to declare October 16-22, 2023, as Independent Retailers Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Independent Retailers Week provides a time to celebrate the food, beverage, and petroleum retail industry and its dedication to the public in their delivery of services to our state; and

Whereas, The independent retail industry is comprised of grocers, specialty food markets, convenience stores, and pharmacies along with many other businesses providing access to consumer goods and services in their communities; and

Whereas, The independent retail industry directly supports more than 158,000 employees in full and part-time positions throughout the state; and

Whereas, Businesses in the food, beverage, and petroleum retail industry contribute billions in state and local taxes to state and local governments; and

Whereas, As we celebrate Independent Retailers Week in Michigan, we acknowledge the many contributions these businesses and their employees make to our state; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 16‑22, 2023, as Independent Retailers Week in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

Reps. Prestin, Markkanen, Neyer, Beson, Rigas and Alexander offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 153.

A resolution to oppose the designation of additional federal wilderness areas in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and to urge the United States Congress to declare the entire city of Ann Arbor a wilderness area.

Whereas, The National Wilderness Preservation System, established under the Wilderness Act of 1964, is made up of more than 800 national wilderness areas, which are defined as “area[s] of undeveloped Federal land retaining [their] primeval character and influence, without permanent improvements or human habitation.” National wilderness areas must be formally designated by Congress and are subject to specific management restrictions which generally aim to preserve them in their natural condition; and

Whereas, Sixteen national wilderness areas have already been designated in Michigan, including the Beaver Basin, Big Island Lake, Delirium, Horseshoe Bay, Huron Islands, Isle Royale, Mackinac, McCormick, Michigan Islands, Nordhouse Dunes, Rock River Canyon, Round Island, Seney, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Sturgeon River Gorge, and Sylvania wildernesses. These areas cover more than 290,000 acres of land throughout the state; and

Whereas, There is an effort underway to ask Congress to designate four more national wilderness areas in the Ottawa National Forest in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, including the Ehlco Area, the Trap Hills, the Norwich Plains, and an addition to the Sturgeon River Gorge Wilderness. Together, these areas would add approximately 51,000 acres to the National Wilderness Preservation System in Michigan; and

Whereas, In the Record of Decision for the 2006 Ottawa National Forest Management Plan, the areas proposed for wilderness designation were determined by the National Forest Service to lack wilderness characteristics. In their decision, the Regional Forester reported that the Ehlco Area, the only area reviewed that met the roadless area criteria, had “no features or conditions that warrant a recommendation for wilderness study” and had “low to moderate wilderness potential”; and

Whereas, There is little evidence that designating additional wilderness areas would result in improving the ecological health of the Ottawa National Forest. Once wilderness restrictions go into effect, opportunities to practice scientifically proven silvicultural treatments such as selective thinning, harvesting, and planting; prescribed burning; and invasive species management are limited. These practices have been crucial in helping to restore these areas to the quality they are today; and

Whereas, Potential economic development would be limited by wilderness designation. Local communities currently benefit from economic returns related to timber harvests and tourism in the Ottawa National Forest. In 2019, the United States Forest Service reported that the Ottawa National Forest supported an estimated 980 jobs, which resulted in more than 45.5 million dollars of direct income to local communities; and

Whereas, Recreational users currently enjoy a wide range of activities in the Ottawa National Forest, such as hiking, wildlife viewing, hunting and fishing, camping, motorized trail activities, and boating. Wilderness designation would significantly limit recreational activities to these areas by prohibiting motorized equipment and mechanical transport. Additionally, enforcing such restrictions could increase the burden on entities charged with managing those lands; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we oppose the designation of additional federal wilderness areas in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula; and be it further

Resolved, That we urge the United States Congress to enact legislation declaring the entire city of Ann Arbor a wilderness area, subject to the same restrictions as other wilderness; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

Reps. Markkanen, Cavitt, Prestin, Neyer, Beson, Rigas and Alexander offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 7.

A concurrent resolution to oppose the designation of additional federal wilderness areas in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and to urge the United States Congress to declare the entire city of Ann Arbor a wilderness area.

Whereas, The National Wilderness Preservation System, established under the Wilderness Act of 1964, is made up of more than 800 national wilderness areas, which are defined as “area[s] of undeveloped Federal land retaining [their] primeval character and influence, without permanent improvements or human habitation.” National wilderness areas must be formally designated by Congress and are subject to specific management restrictions which generally aim to preserve them in their natural condition; and

Whereas, Sixteen national wilderness areas have already been designated in Michigan, including the Beaver Basin, Big Island Lake, Delirium, Horseshoe Bay, Huron Islands, Isle Royale, Mackinac, McCormick, Michigan Islands, Nordhouse Dunes, Rock River Canyon, Round Island, Seney, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Sturgeon River Gorge, and Sylvania wildernesses. These areas cover more than 290,000 acres of land throughout the state; and

Whereas, There is an effort underway to ask Congress to designate four more national wilderness areas in the Ottawa National Forest in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, including the Ehlco Area, the Trap Hills, the Norwich Plains, and an addition to the Sturgeon River Gorge Wilderness.
