Bishop Eric Lloyd, Bishop of Rhema International Church in Harper Woods, offered the following invocation:

 

“Father, we praise You for allowing us to see a new day today.

We also bless and praise Your name for our religious liberties and freedom in this beautiful state of Michigan.

Lord, we ask that You will continue to watch over this great state and those who are in leadership.

Order our steps and direct our paths. Allow something to be said and done today during this session that will bless all people regardless of their race or political background.

God, Your word says in 2 Chronicles 7:14, If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

We humble ourselves under You, and we thank You for healing the land.

As we close this prayer, I ask that You continue strengthening our Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and all branches of Government in the state of Michigan in Jesus’ name. Amen!”

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. MacDonell, Brabec, Haadsma, Hill, Rheingans, Rogers, Weiss and Young offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 225.

A resolution to declare April 2024 as Sjogren’s Syndrome Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Sjogren’s syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disease that affects the whole body. While its most common symptoms are dry eyes and dry mouth, its symptoms can also include profound fatigue, chronic pain, and neuropathies; and

Whereas, Primary Sjogren’s means someone has only the syndrome. Secondary Sjogren’s occurs as a comorbidity with other immune disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), or scleroderma; and

Whereas, Sjogren’s can cause dry eyes, dry mouth, cavities, chronic oral thrush, and other symptoms; and

Whereas, Four million Americans have Sjogren’s. The condition can be challenging for both patients and physicians. Since most of its symptoms are invisible, many people living with Sjogren’s report that their experiences with the syndrome are written off as fictitious. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing severe complications, so Sjogren’s and its symptoms should be taken seriously; and

Whereas, Interest in the syndrome among federal legislators has prompted an effort to secure federal funding for research on the causes of Sjogren’s syndrome and possible treatments; and

Whereas, Michiganders living with Sjogren’s or others interested in learning more about the syndrome can contact the Sjogren’s Foundation to learn more; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 2024 as Sjogren’s Syndrome Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

Reps. Scott, Brabec, Haadsma, Hill, Rheingans, Rogers, Weiss and Young offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 226.

A resolution to declare April 2024 as Sarcoidosis Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Sarcoidosis is a debilitating and potentially deadly multi-organ, systemic inflammatory rare disease, that causes the immune system to damage the body’s own tissue and often affects several areas of the body simultaneously; and

Whereas, It occurs when a person’s immune system overreacts resulting in the formation of granulomas, microscopic clumps of inflammatory cells; and

 Whereas, Patients can experience a wide range of symptoms including debilitating fatigue; shortness of breath; difficulties with balance and coordination; irregular heartbeat; visual problems, including blindness; mood disorders such as depression and anxiety; and organ failure; and

Whereas, Sarcoidosis is estimated to affect less than 200,000 people in the United States, most often afflicting victims between the ages of 20 and 40. African Americans are afflicted at least 10 times more often than other ethnic groups in the United States; and

Whereas, While progress has been made in understanding Sarcoidosis, the cause is still unknown and there is currently no cure for the disease; now therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 2024 as Sarcoidosis Month in the state of Michigan. We encourage Michiganders to gain a greater understanding of this disease, show support for its victims, help to educate medical staff, and encourage support for education programs and the funding of research programs to find a cure.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

THIS RESOLUTION IS OFFERED TO COMPLY WITH ARTICLE XI, SECTION 5 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN OF 1963.

 

Rep. O’Neal offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 13.

A concurrent resolution to waive the legislative notice requirement for increases in rates of compensation for certain employees in the state classified service.

Whereas, Article XI, Section 5 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 provides, in relevant part:

Increases in rates of compensation authorized by the commission may be effective only at the start of a fiscal year and shall require prior notice to the governor, who shall transmit such increases to the legislature as part of his budget. The legislature may, by a majority vote of the members elected to and serving in each house, waive the notice and permit increases in rates of compensation to be effective at a time other than the start of a fiscal year.

; and

Whereas, Agreement was reached between the Office of the State Employer and the Michigan State Employees Association to increase the rates of pay for certain exclusively represented conservation officer positions in certain classifications; and

Whereas, On February 16, 2024, the State Personnel Director, with the consent of the chair of the Civil Service Commission, granted interim approval of the agreement for these exclusively represented conservation officers, and also granted interim approval of increases in the rate of compensation for certain non-exclusively represented conservation officer positions. This approval was past the time when the Governor could transmit the increases as part of the budget; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That, pursuant to Article XI, Section 5 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963, we waive the prior notice requirement to permit the increases in rates of compensation for both the exclusively represented and non-exclusively represented positions within the Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy that were approved by the State Personnel Director; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the members of the Civil Service Commission.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Appropriations.

 

 

Reps. Johnsen, Rigas, Cavitt, Hoadley, Aragona, Bierlein and Alexander offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 227.

A resolution to urge Congress to pass legislation requiring the exclusion of illegal immigrants when apportioning seats in the United States House of Representatives.

Whereas, The House of Representatives recognizes that there are many challenges and complexities involved in the taking of the census and the apportionment process, including demographic shifts, changes in population distribution, and evolving societal dynamics. One of these challenges is the issue of illegal immigration. A large illegal immigrant population has the potential to substantially impact apportionment, if illegal immigrants are included in the census and the apportionment base; and

Whereas, On July 21, 2020, President Donald Trump issued a memorandum declaring that it would be the policy of the United States to exclude illegal aliens from the apportionment base following the 2020 Census. The President directed the Secretary of Commerce to provide him with information permitting him to carry out this policy as part of his report on the results of the census; and

Whereas, On President Joe Biden’s first day in office, he signed an executive order to reverse that policy and ensure that illegal immigrants would continue to be included in the apportionment base. The President declared that all persons residing in a state would be counted towards that state’s population for purposes of apportionment, regardless of their immigration status; and

Whereas, There are considerable numbers of illegal immigrants in the United States, and they are not evenly distributed throughout the country. According to a Pew Research Center study, in 2016, 61 percent of illegal immigrants lived in just 20 major metropolitan areas, with the largest concentrations in Los Angeles and New York City. Pew estimates that, as of 2021, there were 10.5 million illegal immigrants in the country, with 67.4 percent of those living in only ten states: California, Texas, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Georgia, North Carolina, Massachusetts, and Washington. There are particularly large portions of the illegal immigrant population in California (17.6 percent), Texas (15.2 percent), Florida (8.6 percent), and New York (5.7 percent). Estimates of the total number of illegal immigrants living in the United States over the last several years range from around 11 million to as high as 22 million, or the equivalent of nearly 14 to 29 congressional districts; and

Whereas, Factoring illegal immigrants into the apportionment base for the United States House of Representatives distorts political representation. Because large percentages of the illegal immigrant population live in a small number of metropolitan areas, those areas are awarded a disproportionate share of congressional seats after the apportionment and redistricting process compared to the representation they would receive if we excluded those who do not have a legal right to be in this country. Areas that cater to illegal immigrants could attract particularly high concentrations of these individuals, skewing political influence towards these areas even further when illegal immigrants are included in the apportionment base; and

Whereas, It is imperative that the federal government maintains the integrity and fairness of the apportionment process by excluding illegal immigrants from the determination of congressional representation. Apportionment must remain free from partisan manipulation or undue influence to ensure that our government continues to represent the people of the United States. We support efforts aimed at safeguarding the integrity of the apportionment process and preventing any form of gerrymandering or partisan manipulation that undermines the democratic values it seeks to uphold; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge Congress to pass legislation requiring the exclusion of illegal immigrants when apportioning seats in the United States House of Representatives; and be it further

Resolved, That this resolution shall serve as a clear and unequivocal statement of our belief that the federal government must preserve the integrity of the apportionment process and uphold the foundational principles of representative democracy in the United States; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
