Pastor Ben
Wheatley, Worship Director of Woodside Bible Church Romeo Campus in Washington,
offered the following invocation:
“Almighty
God,
We
come before You, as Your people, with hearts full of praise for Your majesty
and grace. You are the Creator of all things, the Lord of glory, and the Savior
of our souls. We confess our unworthiness to enter Your presence, yet we come
boldly because of the blood of Jesus, which has cleansed us from all sin.
To
You, O God, we lift up our souls. To You we offer our praise and prayer, our
worship and thanksgiving, even our very lives. Make Your ways known to us. Show
us the path on which we should walk. Lead us in Your truth and teach us. For
You alone are the God Who saves, the God in Whom we trust; and the One on Whom
we wait.
Lord,
into Your most holy presence we now come. Calm our anxious spirits. Remove the
distractions that would keep us from You here today. Break down the walls of
separation that we have built to keep You from our hardened hearts and us from
each other. Lead us in joy and celebration of the only reality worth knowing,
that You love us as we are. Free us for joyful obedience to Your claim and call
on our lives this day and every day.
Amen.”

Motions
and Resolutions
Reps. Brenda
Carter, Breen, Fox, MacDonell, Paiz,
Rheingans, Rogers and Woolford offered the following
resolution:
House Resolution
No. 74.
A resolution to
declare April 2025 as Handwriting Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The
ability to read and write is a fundamental aspect of American society and
culture; and
Whereas, A 2024
study has shown that writing down information, as opposed to typing
information, leads to better overall brain connectivity and memory, especially
for school-age children; and
Whereas, Ensuring
students have access to writing education will enhance their literacy skills,
support their academic achievement, and preserve an essential mode of written
communication for future generations; and
Whereas,
Handwriting is recognized by educators throughout the world as an important
component of a child’s education; and
Whereas, In
addition to the importance of writing education, research has shown that
learning cursive writing enhances cognitive development and improves fine motor
skills, which supports both reading comprehension and written communication;
and
Whereas, The
ability to write a cursive signature is needed on many documents, including
mortgages, student loans, checks, deeds, titles, and more; and
Whereas, The
founding documents of our great nation, including the Declaration of
Independence, the United States Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, are
written in cursive; and
Whereas, John
Hancock, a great patriot from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, served as
President of the Continental Congress (1775–1777) and Governor of Massachusetts
(1780–1785) and, in 1776 became the first to sign the Declaration of
Independence, leaving a large and prominent signature that made “John Hancock”
synonymous with handwritten signatures and the importance of penmanship in
American history; and
Whereas, The date
of Hancock’s birth, January 23, 1737, has been recognized as National
Handwriting Day since 1977, as first promoted by the Writing Instrument
Manufacturers Association to honor the enduring significance of handwriting in
civic life; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the
House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare
April 2025 as Handwriting Month in the state of Michigan. We strongly support
the ability of all children to perform their own research, read, and write.
The question being
on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was
adopted.
Reps. Wegela, McKinney, Morgan, Pohutsky,
Dievendorf, Wilson, Weiss, Rheingans,
MacDonell, Arbit and Paiz offered the following resolution:
House Resolution
No. 75.
A
resolution to urge the United States House of Representatives to introduce and
adopt articles of impeachment against President Donald J. Trump for the high
crimes of repeatedly undermining the Constitution of the United States.
Whereas,
United States President Donald J. Trump took the oath of office on January 20,
2025, swearing that he would, to the best of his ability, “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the
United States.” He has failed to uphold this
oath, and has instead repeatedly violated rights protected by the Constitution; and
Whereas,
The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution states that no person
shall be “deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due
process of law.” The due process rights of
foreign nationals, however, have not been defended under the current
administration; and
Whereas,
The Trump Administration has clearly demonstrated its lack of respect for the
constitutional constraints on the executive branch in the immigration context.
For example, the Trump Administration unlawfully detained and removed Kilmar Armando Ábrego García from
the United States, and he is now being held in a foreign detention center.
Despite the fact that the Supreme Court of the United States, in a unanimous,
9-0 decision, upheld an order directing the government to facilitate his
return, President Trump and his Administration have failed to facilitate Ábrego García’s safe return to this country.
The Trump Administration has also fought for the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil
on the basis of disagreements in foreign policy, even though Khalil has not
been accused of, charged with, or convicted of any crime, let alone one
relevant to his immigration status; and
Whereas,
The Trump Administration has also begun revoking the visas of large numbers of
international students. Some students have had their records in the Student and Exchange Visitor
Information System terminated without notification, and many are confused as to
why they have been targeted. Visas have been cancelled for students attending
the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, and Grand Valley State
University, among others; and
Whereas, President Trump has even
expressed interest in the unthinkable move of deporting United States citizens;
and
Whereas,
These cases are representative of a larger policy of reckless abuse of
authority to undermine due process and, in turn, the protection of other
fundamental American rights such as free speech and freedom of assembly; and
Whereas,
Article II, Section 4 of the United States Constitution states that “[t]he President, Vice President and all civil Officers
of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and
Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” The United States House of Representatives has the sole
power of impeachment under Article I, Section 2, Clause 5, and the United
States Senate has the sole power to try impeachments under Article I, Section
3, Clause 6; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That we urge the United States House of
Representatives to introduce and adopt articles of impeachment against
President Donald J. Trump for the high crimes of repeatedly undermining the
Constitution of the United States; and be it further
Resolved,
That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Speaker of the United
States House of Representatives and the members of the Michigan congressional
delegation; and be it further
Resolved,
That we request a personal response to this resolution be sent from the Office
of the Clerk of the United States House of Representatives to the Speaker of
the Michigan House of Representatives and the Majority Leader of the Michigan
Senate within one month of receipt.
The resolution was
referred to Committee on Government Operations.
Rep. Posthumus 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. BeGole, Alexander, Fox, Jaime Greene, Rigas,
Schuette and Woolford offered the following resolution:
House Resolution
No. 76.
Whereas, President
Donald J. Trump’s first one hundred days in office marked a decisive return to
pro-growth, pro-security, and America first policies, setting a new course for
the nation that has had a direct and positive impact on the state of Michigan;
and
Whereas, President
Trump has delivered on his commitments to the American people by renegotiating
unfair trade deals, eliminating wasteful spending, securing the border, taking
action to prevent the flow of fentanyl into Michigan communities and advancing
policies that directly benefit Michigan’s economy, manufacturing sector, and
working families; and
Whereas, In these
first one hundred days, the Trump Administration issued tariffs on countries
that had established unfair trade terms with the United States, strengthening
domestic manufacturing, including Michigan’s automotive and manufacturing
industries, and delivering a tangible impact for Michigan workers and their
families by protecting jobs, supporting local economies, and reinforcing the
livelihoods of the people who power our state; and
Whereas, One
hundred days into his second term, President Trump traveled to Michigan to
announce a new F-15EX Eagle II fighter mission with twenty-one aircraft at
Selfridge Air National Guard Base, a key national defense hub and economic
anchor that supports thousands of jobs and military families in Michigan and
the nation; and
Whereas, President
Trump has demonstrated his commitment to Michigan’s natural resources by
publicly promising to prevent Asian carp from entering the Great Lakes and
supporting the Brandon Road Interbasin Project,
critical to protecting Michigan’s waters and economy; and
Whereas, President
Trump’s Executive Order, declaring a National Energy Emergency, has allowed for
emergency permitting of the proposed Enbridge Line 5 tunnel project, securing
Michigan’s energy infrastructure and protecting thousands of Michigan jobs; and
Whereas, The
Department of Government Efficiency has identified over $160 billion in
government waste and fraud, the elimination of unnecessary agencies, the
cancellation of wasteful grants and contracts, and the dismantling of
politicized diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives across federal
agencies — freeing up resources to prioritize infrastructure, energy,
agriculture, and national defense projects critical to the country; and
Whereas, President
Trump has followed through with his pledge to secure our border and protect our
communities by deploying troops to the border, preventing illegal immigration,
and partnering with state and local enforcement officers to remove dangerous
illegal aliens — resulting in a 95% reduction in illegal border encounters and
the arrest of over 150,000 illegal aliens; and
Whereas, President
Trump’s Executive Order to increase American mineral production has expedited
permitting for a proposed mine in Osceola County, which will reduce reliance on
foreign potash and prioritize the nation’s and Michigan’s critical potash
reserve; and
Whereas, President
Trump celebrated the success of his first one hundred days by visiting Macomb
County on April 29, 2025, and highlighting the important role the state of
Michigan plays in the success of his polices and direction for the country; now
therefore, be it
Resolved by the
House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commend
President Donald J. Trump for his leadership and accomplishments during
his first 100 days in office, recognize the positive impact of his actions on
the state of Michigan and the nation, and extend to him our gratitude and best
wishes for continued success; and be it further
Resolved, That a
copy of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States.
The question being
on the adoption of the resolution,
Point of Order
Rep. Fitzgerald
requested a ruling of the Chair on why using a person’s proper name is grounds
to impede debate in this Chamber.
The Chair ruled the
previous speaker’s comments are out of order.
The question being
on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was
adopted.
Reps. VanWoerkom, Slagh, Alexander, Arbit, Fox, Jaime Greene, Snyder, Witwer and Woolford
offered the following resolution:
House Resolution
No. 77.
A resolution urging
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker to resume construction of the Brandon Road Interbasin Project to prevent the spread of Asian carp into
the Great Lakes.
Whereas, Asian carp
were introduced in the southern United States in the 1970s to control algae
blooms and aquatic weeds for aquaculture and wastewater treatment. Flood waters
over the past few decades have allowed these species to escape into waterways,
including the Mississippi River; and
Whereas, Asian carp
species such as the bighead, silver, grass, and black carps are not native to
North America and have become a highly invasive species in the waterways
where they are located. Asian carp can grow up to sixty pounds and can eat up
to forty percent of their weight each day, leading to outcompeting native
species for food sources and harming local ecologies; and
Whereas, Bighead
and silver carp have been located within forty-seven miles of Lake Michigan in
the Des Plaines River, putting the seven-billion-dollar Great Lakes
commercial and recreational fishing industry in jeopardy; and
Whereas, The state
of Illinois and the state of Michigan signed a partnership agreement with the
United States Army Corps of Engineers Rock Island District to begin
construction on the Brandon Road Interbasin Project (BRIP) to prevent upstream movement of invasive carp into
the Great Lakes; and
Whereas, The BRIP is funded with a combination of funds from the federal
government, the state of Illinois, and the state of Michigan. The state of
Michigan has already contributed seventy-three and a half million dollars to
the BRIP over the past five years; and
Whereas, In
February 2025, Governor Pritzker postponed the first phase of the BRIP’s construction due to concerns about the availability
of federal funding to move forward with the project; and
Whereas, President
Trump, on April 9, 2025, publicly pledged to save Lake Michigan from invasive
Asian carp, as he understands the economic and environmental catastrophe that
this species would wreak across our Great Lakes without this protective project;
and
Whereas, We share
President Trump’s support for the BRIP and the
continuation of the project to prevent movement of Asian carp into the Great
Lakes; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the
House of Representatives, That we urge Illinois Governor JB Pritzker to resume
construction of the Brandon Road Interbasin Project
to prevent the spread of Asian carp into the Great Lakes; and be it further
Resolved, That
copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States,
the Governor of Michigan, and the Governor of Illinois.
The resolution was
referred to Committee on Natural Resources and Tourism.
Reps. St. Germaine,
Alexander, Fox, Jaime Greene, Mentzer, Rigas and
Woolford offered the following resolution:
House Resolution
No. 78.
A
resolution to support President Trump’s decision regarding the new F-15EX Eagle II fighter
mission at the Selfridge Air National Guard Base to replace the outgoing A-10
Thunderbolts.
Whereas,
The Selfridge Air National Guard Base located near Mount Clemens in Macomb
County has been in operation since 1917 and is currently home to the 127th Wing
of the Michigan Air National Guard, as well as over 40 tenant commands
including components of the United States Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Customs and Border Protection;
and
Whereas,
The 127th Wing of the Michigan Air National Guard housed at the Selfridge Air
National Guard Base currently operates the Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker and
Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II. However, divestment of the A-10
Thunderbolts at Selfridge is set to begin in 2026, with the KC-135
Stratotankers beginning divestment in 2027; and
Whereas,
The Selfridge Air National Guard Base maintains nearly 5,000 personnel and has
an approximately 850 million dollar economic impact on the state. Michigan has
appropriated more than 25 million dollars over the last two
fiscal years for updates and capital improvements to the runway, hangar, and
maintenance facilities at the military base in preparation for a new fighter
mission; and
Whereas,
The positive impacts from the operation of the Selfridge Air National Guard
Base extend beyond our great state. Selfridge enhances American air superiority
and domestic security on our northern border, being strategically located to
provide northern routes to the arctic and the rest of the country. Furthermore,
the use of an Air National Guard Base such as Selfridge costs taxpayers less
than if an active United States Air Force base was utilized; and
Whereas,
On April 29, 2025, 100 days into his second term, President Trump traveled to
Michigan to announce a new F-15EX Eagle II fighter mission with 21 aircrafts at
the Selfridge Air National Guard Base; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That we support President Trump’s decision regarding the new F-15EX Eagle II fighter
mission at the Selfridge Air National Guard Base to replace the outgoing A-10 Thunderbolts and securing the future of the base for
decades to come; and be it further
Resolved,
That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United
States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United
States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional
delegation.
The question being
on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was
adopted.
Second Reading of
Bills

A
joint resolution proposing an amendment to the state constitution of 1963, by

The
joint resolution was read a second time.
Rep. Posthumus moved to substitute (H-1) the joint resolution.
The motion prevailed and
the substitute (H-1) was adopted, a majority of the members serving voting
therefor.
Rep. Posthumus moved that the joint resolution be placed on the
