e/d/s = entered during session

Rep. Ann Bollin, from the 69th District, offered the following invocation:

“LORD, from whom all earthly power is granted, we beseech that You grant us clarity of mind; faithfulness of spirit; and determination of will in fulfilling our obligations to our fellow citizens and communities whom we represent.

Grant us the wisdom to faithfully engage in this vocation as legislators, and through this granted vocation, MAY our efforts strengthen, defend, and preserve our state for future generations.

And particularly on this Ash Wednesday, Merciful God, we recognize that You called us forth from the dust of the earth and You claimed us for Christ in the waters of baptism. Going into the Lenten season, I urge us all to fast.

Fast from saying hurtful words, and instead, say kind words.

I urge us to fast from anger, and instead, be filled with patience.

I urge us to fast from selfishness, and instead, be compassionate to others.

LORD, look upon us as we enter these Forty Days bearing the mark of ashes, and bless the journey through the desert of Lent to the spring of rebirth.

And, Lord, I pray, that I may ALWAYS follow as if You lead. AND that I may LEAD as if I follow. We ask this in Your name, the source of all good and righteousness.

Amen.”

The Speaker called the Speaker Pro Tempore to the Chair.

Rep. Aiyash moved that Reps. Johnsen, Kuhn and McKinney be excused from today’s session. The motion prevailed.

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Markkanen, Alexander, Bezotte, Breen, Hill, Morgan, Paiz and Schuette offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 186.

A resolution to declare February 18-24, 2024, as Sauna Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Finnish immigrants introduced the sauna, a centuries-old traditional heat-and steam method of bathing, to North America in 1638 when they arrived at New Sweden, a colony in what is now Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania; and

Whereas, Those Finns also introduced the log cabin to their new land in the form of the sauna, often the first structure built by settlers. The buildings, made with hand-hewn logs and double dovetail joints, served as both shelter and place for the centuries-old Finnish bathing method; and

Whereas, Pioneers across this great country adapted the sturdy Finnish log structure for their housing as they moved westward, with some seven United States presidents being born in log cabins; and

Whereas, Sauna is an important part of Finnish American culture and practice, with many generations enjoying traditional saunas for cleansing and as a source of relaxation and socializing; and,

Whereas, Michigan received more Finnish immigrants than any other state, and has six counties in the western Upper Peninsula where Finns make up the largest ethnic group, and

Whereas, Interest in authentic Finnish saunas has grown in the U.S., particularly since the Covid pandemic, with a demonstrable increase in construction of new public and at-home saunas frequented by a broader population beyond the Finnish American community; and,

Whereas, Hancock, Michigan is the home of the Finnish American Heritage Center, which includes the national archive of Finnish Americans, and

Whereas, The importance of sauna achieved international attention when “sauna culture in Finland” was added to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage; and,

Whereas, Medical experts, including a Mayo Clinic Proceedings review, cite regular sauna bathing as having beneficial effects on blood pressure, cardiometabolic biomarkers, arterial compliance and cardiovascular function, as well as feelings of relaxation and well-being related to increased production of endorphins; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 18-24, 2024, as Sauna Week in the state of Michigan. We invite all residents to participate in

Sauna Week and enjoy the benefits of authentic sauna use. The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. DeSana, Fox, Jaime Greene, Smit, Beeler, Carra, Friske, Zorn, Fink, Meerman, Haadsma and Schuette offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 188.

A resolution to call for the immediate release of Jimmy Lai from imprisonment and urge the United States government to assert diplomatic pressure on the governments of the People’s Republic of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to help secure Mr. Lai’s release.

Whereas, Jimmy Lai is a longtime advocate for freedom and democracy in Hong Kong. Although Mr. Lai has British citizenship, he chose to live in Hong Kong and pursue a career in media, founding the newspaper Apple Daily in 1995, just a few years after the Tiananmen Square protests and shortly before Hong Kong was transferred from the United Kingdom to the People’s Republic of China. Apple Daily became a well-known, successful publication, investigating local corruption and speaking out against overreach by the Chinese Communist Party. In 2019, when Hong Kong was swept by a wave of pro-democracy, anti-government protests, Apple Daily was a strong and outspoken supporter of the movement, printing posters for the demonstrators. Mr. Lai established himself as a high-profile, staunch supporter of the rights promised to Hong Kong under the terms of the Sino-British Joint Declaration on the Question of Hong Kong in 1984; and

Whereas, In 2020, the Chinese government retaliated against Mr. Lai and Apple Daily, arresting Mr. Lai and charging him with collusion with a foreign country, a crime established by a new national security law that China unilaterally imposed on Hong Kong. Having been delayed multiple times, Mr. Lai’s trial under the national security law is currently set for December 2023, and he could face a life sentence if convicted. In 2021, Apple Daily was forced to close after the Chinese government raided the newsroom, seized the company’s computers, froze its assets, and arrested multiple company executives and a journalist. While awaiting trial under the national security law, Mr. Lai has also been convicted of fraud for violating the terms of a lease, on charges the United States Department of State called “spurious,” for which he was sentenced to five years and nine months’ imprisonment; charged with conspiracy to print seditious publications; and convicted for two instances of “unauthorized assembly” for his participation in a pro-democracy rally in 2019 and a Tiananmen Square vigil in 2020, for which he was sentenced to over two years in prison; and

Whereas, It is unacceptable for the People’s Republic of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to weaponize their national security law for purposes of political repression, as they have done in the case of Mr. Lai. The United States and the United Nations Human Rights Committee have expressed deep concern about the national security law and its implementation, and the European Parliament recently adopted a resolution urging the release of Mr. Lai and other pro-democracy activists who were imprisoned for exercising the freedom of speech and expression. Democracies around the world are recognizing the blatant disregard and disrespect for fundamental human freedoms in Hong Kong in recent years; and

Whereas, China’s 2020 national security law and its utilization for political purposes pose a threat to free speech around the globe, including in Michigan. The national security law purports to apply to violations committed outside of Hong Kong by non-residents, a feature the United Nations Human Rights Committee has noted with grave concern. Michiganders should not have to fear being treated like Mr. Lai if they exercise their rights under the United States Constitution to engage in political speech; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we call for the immediate release of Jimmy Lai from imprisonment; and be it further

Resolved, That we urge the United States government to assert diplomatic pressure on the governments of the People’s Republic of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to help secure Mr. Lai’s release; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the United States Secretary of State and the United States Ambassador to the People’s Republic of China.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

Reps. Morse, Weiss, Tyrone Carter, Rheingans, Haadsma, Brabec, Rogers, Neeley, Breen, Byrnes, Dievendorf, Fitzgerald, Glanville, Hill, Hope, Morgan, Paiz, Schuette, Wilson, Witwer and Young offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 189.

A resolution to declare February 2024 as Cholangiocarcinoma Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Cholangiocarcinoma starts in the bile duct, a thin tube, about 4 to 5 inches long, that reaches from the liver to the small intestine. The major function of the bile duct is to move a fluid called bile from the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine, where it helps digest the fats in food; and

Whereas, There are three types of cholangiocarcinoma: intrahepatic, extrahepatic, and perihilar. The mortality rate of this disease has increased dramatically in the last decade; and

Whereas, An estimated 10,000 people in the United States develop cholangiocarcinoma each year and almost two out of three people with cholangiocarcinoma are sixty-five or older when it is found: and

Whereas, The chances of survival for patients with bile duct cancer depends to a large extent on its location and how advanced it is when it is found; and

Whereas, Patients are typically diagnosed at a late stage due to no validated early method of detection. Symptoms of jaundice, abdominal pain, itchy skin, and weight loss are symptoms that do not usually present till advanced disease progression; and

Whereas, Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare cancer. Of the top eight deadliest cancers, seven are rare. Rare cancers have a 5-year survival rate under fifty percent with the cholangiocarcinoma 5-year survival rate being approximately twenty percent; and

Whereas, There is currently no cure for cholangiocarcinoma/bile duct cancer; and

Whereas, Founded in 2006, in Salt Lake City, Utah, by a family who lost a loved one to cholangiocarcinoma, the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation has grown to become the leading global resource in research, education, and public awareness; and

Whereas, Foundations, research and teaching hospitals, rare cancer advocacy groups, and patient advocacy groups from around the globe have joined forces to recognize February as Cholangiocarcinoma Awareness Month; and

Whereas, Increased cholangiocarcinoma advocacy, awareness, research, and education will bring improved outcomes for patients in earlier detection and treatment and potential curative methods;

Whereas, The U.S. Food & Drug Administration has approved new treatments creating a new standard of care for cholangiocarcinoma patients with the combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy; and

Whereas, This body encourages all citizens to educate themselves about the disease by visiting cholangiocarcinoma.org and signing a pledge to help raise awareness in support of Cholangiocarcinoma Awareness Month, and encourages the state of Michigan to remain committed to the continued support of research for treatment and a cure of cholangiocarcinoma, now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 2024 as Cholangiocarcinoma Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We recognize all patients and caregivers impacted by the rare, lethal cancer.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution, The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Fox, Phil Green, Schuette, Alexander, Bierlein, Steele, Fink, Tisdel, DeBoer, Friske, Kunse, Rigas, Markkanen, Cavitt, Hoadley, Outman, Neyer, Martin, Aragona, Beson, BeGole, Bruck, Meerman, Roth, Prestin, Zorn, Borton, Posthumus, Thompson, Beeler, VanderWall, Harris, Wozniak, Bezotte, Paquette, Mueller, DeSana, Smit, Breen, Glanville, Haadsma, Paiz, Rheingans and Wilson offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 190.

A resolution to declare February 14, 2024, as National Donor Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Around 2,500 Michigan residents are currently waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant and thousands more would benefit from tissue and corneal transplants; and

Whereas, Michigan has about 4.2 million people on the Organ Donor Registry, but more than 42 percent of adults have not yet registered to save and heal others; and

Whereas, The need for organ, tissue, and eye donations remains a critical need in both Michigan and the United States; and

Whereas, Nationwide, an average of 20 people die each day because a donated organ did not become available; and

Whereas, Organ donation can provide families that are tragically confronted by the death of a loved one the comfort of knowing that their gift provides another person with renewed hope for a healthy life; and

Whereas, A single organ donation can save a life and positively impact the lives of the recipient’s family and friends; and

Whereas, The act of giving the gift of life through organ, tissue, and eye donation to someone facing imminent death, or living with blindness or a disability, is the ultimate act of generosity and kindness; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 14, 2024, as National Donor Day in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That we encourage all residents to join the Michigan Organ Donor Registry, share their decision with their families, friends, and colleagues, and encourage them to do the same.

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.

By unanimous consent the House considered House Resolution No. 192 out of numerical order.

Reps. Andrews, Brabec, Breen, Byrnes, Dievendorf, Fitzgerald, Glanville, Haadsma, Hill, Hope, McFall, Morgan, Paiz, Rheingans, Schuette, Wilson, Witwer and Young offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 192.

A resolution to declare February 11-17, 2024, as Michigan 2-1-1 Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Launched in 2002, Michigan 2-1-1 is a service provided at no cost to Michigan residents and connects them with thousands of both public and private health and human services agencies and resources right in their communities-quickly, easily, and confidentially; and

Whereas, The Michigan 2-1-1 helpline is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year via phone, email, live chat, and online databases; and

Whereas, Michigan 2-1-1 has supported Michigan during recent disasters, including recent water contamination crises, tornados, flooding, and global crises, including providing information relating to the COVID-19 emergency; and

Whereas, 433,000 individuals across the state of Michigan contacted Michigan 2-1-1 for assistance with housing, utility assistance, food, job training, and other resources in just the last year alone; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan recognizes Michigan 2-1-1’s service as a valued community asset and is grateful to the dedicated community care advocates at Michigan 2-1-1 for their efficient, effective, and compassionate response to the growing needs of residents; and

Whereas, Coinciding with February 11 (2-11), this week is appropriate for recognition of the beneficial services provided by 2-1-1 community care advocates through the Michigan 2-1-1; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 11 17, 2024, as Michigan 2-1-1 Week in the state of Michigan. We urge increased awareness of the beneficial services available to those residents in need.

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. Hoskins, Bezotte, Brabec, Breen, Byrnes, Dievendorf, Glanville, Haadsma, Hill, Hood, Hope, McFall, Morgan, Paiz, Rheingans, Snyder, Wegela, Wilson, Witwer and Young offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 191.

A resolution to denounce the espousal of racist, xenophobic, and white supremacist language by members of this chamber.

Whereas, The Michigan House of Representatives is known as “the people’s house.” It is the legislative chamber that is closest to the people of this state, and the members elected to and serving therein are the voice of those people; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan is a beautifully diverse state. Michigan and its people are so vibrant because of, not in spite of, the different identities, backgrounds, and cultures of the people who call our state home; and

Whereas, The promotion and espousal of racist, xenophobic, and white supremacist language, regardless of the source or form, is a vile stain on our society. Such language and images often draw on stereotypes and conspiracy theories that do not reflect the reality of the world or its people. Such discourse has been used to incite and justify deadly violence against individuals and communities of color; and

Whereas, We rightly hold elected officials to a higher standard in matters of discourse. The language of leadership carries a greater weight with the general public than that coming from peers. When a person in a position of authority spreads words and images designed to foment hate and division, it sends a signal that those words and images are acceptable for use in the marketplace of ideas; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we denounce the espousal of racist, xenophobic, and white supremacist language, theories, and images, as they do not belong in societal discourse and serve only to stoke fear, hatred, and division, ideas antithetical to the functioning of “the people’s house”; and be it further Resolved, That such language, theories, and images being posted, reposted, or otherwise shared by members of the Michigan House of Representatives represents a failure of decorum and a dereliction of each member’s duty both as the voice of a diverse group of people and as a keeper of the public trust; and be it

further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to every member of the Michigan House of Representatives.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Rep. Schuette moved to amend the resolution as follows:

Amend page 1, line 1, after “racist,” and inserting “antisemitic,”.
Amend page 1, line 11, after “racist,” and inserting “antisemitic,”.
Amend page 2, line 3, after “individuals” and inserting a comma and “religious communities and cultures,”.
Amend page 2, line 13, after “racist,” and inserting “antisemitic,”.

The motion did not prevail and the amendments were not adopted, a majority of the members serving not voting therefor.

Rep. Hoskins moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:

Substitute for House Resolution No. 191.

A resolution to denounce the espousal of racist, xenophobic, white supremacist, anti-Semitic, and Islamophobic language by members of this chamber.

Whereas, The promotion and espousal of racist, xenophobic, white supremacist, anti-Semitic, and Islamophobic language, regardless of the source or form, is a vile stain on our society. Such language and images often draw on stereotypes and conspiracy theories that do not reflect the reality of the world or its people. Such discourse has been used to incite and justify deadly violence against individuals and communities of color; and

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we denounce the espousal of racist, xenophobic, white supremacist, anti-Semitic, and Islamophobic language, theories, and images, as they do not belong in societal discourse and serve only to stoke fear, hatred, and division, ideas antithetical to the functioning of “the people’s house”; and be it further

Resolved, That such language, theories, and images being posted, reposted, or otherwise shared by members of the Michigan House of Representatives represents a failure of decorum and a dereliction of each member’s duty both as the voice of a diverse group of people and as a keeper of the public trust; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to every member of the Michigan House of Representatives.

The motion prevailed and the substitute (H-1) was adopted, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
