Rep. Jerry Neyer, from the 92nd District, offered the following
invocation:
“Thank You, Lord,
for the honor of being among the few to serve in this House of Representatives.
Help remind us not
to lead with our egos.
But rather, like
You, with honor, humility and service to all.
Thank You for the
people who serve as police, firefighters, first responders and the men and
women in the military.
Especially those
who have given their lives to protect us and our freedoms.
They truly honor
You by laying down their lives for us.
Help remind us
every day that we are here to serve our family and friends back home, the
people of Michigan and most of all You, Lord.
Amen.”

House Resolution
No. 130.
A resolution to
declare June 12, 2025, as Black Men Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Black men
have played a foundational role in shaping the history, culture, economy, and
progress of the United States, despite facing generations of discrimination,
racial injustice, and social and economic exclusion; and
Whereas, Black men
have demonstrated resilience, leadership, and excellence in every field of
human endeavor—including education, business, science, the arts, sports, public
service, and community activism—uplifting families, neighborhoods, and entire
generations; and
Whereas, Throughout
history, Black men have stood on the front lines of justice and equality, from
Frederick Douglass and Malcolm X to modern-day leaders, activists, fathers,
educators, and mentors who continue to fight for dignity, opportunity, and human
rights for all; and
Whereas, Black
fathers, brothers, sons, and mentors provide love, wisdom, and guidance across
generations, shaping the lives of young people and setting powerful examples of
integrity, strength, and perseverance; and
Whereas,
Black Men Awareness Day serves to recognize the strength of Black men, and
highlight prominent Black men throughout history, and all the contributions
that Black men give to the community; and
Whereas, We
celebrate and honor Black men for their courage, brilliance, contributions, and
the invaluable role they play in our communities, state, and nation; now,
therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body

House Resolution
No. 131.
A resolution to
commemorate the 250th birthday of the United States Army.
Whereas, June 14,
2025, marks the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States Army in
1775 when the Continental Congress established the First Continental Army and
named George Washington, Commander-in-Chief; and
Whereas, The
Continental Army proudly served from 1775 to 1783, defeating British tyranny
and ushering in an era of American independence. In 1783, the United States
Army officially debuted to the world; and
Whereas, The
mission of the United States Army is to deploy, fight, and win our nation’s
wars by securing ready, prompt, and sustained land dominance by Army forces
across the full spectrum of conflict as part of the joint force; and
Whereas, Today, the
United States Army is the world’s most powerful and effective land force in the
world. It is a ready-to-fight force that is experienced, lethal, and trained to
conduct any mission, anywhere, in support of our nation’s security; and
Whereas, The Army’s
greatest asset is our people – the finest men and women our great nation has to
offer, with a myriad of talents that make us stronger; and
Whereas, From the
Revolutionary War onward, our warfighters have consistently demonstrated their
resolve to defend freedom at home and abroad; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the
House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate
the 250th birthday of the United States Army. We honor all the work they have
done to defend our nation.
The question being
on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was

Wegela, Neeley, Wilson, Hope, Longjohn,
Tsernoglou, Steckloff, Liberati, Tate, Wooden, Conlin,
Young, Snyder, Farhat and Fitzgerald offered the following resolution:
House Resolution
No. 132.
A
resolution to urge the federal government to reinstate the United States
Refugee Admissions Program.
Whereas,
The Immigration and Nationality Act authorizes the admission of refugees of
special humanitarian concern to the United States, as well as the granting of
asylum to refugees, on a case-by-case basis. Refugees are a vulnerable
population, facing persecution on account of race, religion, nationality,
membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. Under the U.S.
Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP), these individuals
may be admitted to the country after a series of interviews, a health screening,
and multiple background checks. Some refugees are referred to the program by
the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, a U.S. embassy, or a
non-governmental organization, while others are privately sponsored or seek
admission to reunite with family members who were granted asylum or admitted as
a refugee. After refugees are admitted into the United States, they receive
transitional assistance and referrals for services as needed to help them
establish a new life in this country; and
Whereas,
On January 20, 2025, President Trump suspended the USRAP
indefinitely. In Executive Order No. 14,163, entitled “Realigning the United States Refugee Admissions Program,” the President declared that “entry into the United States of refugees under the USRAP would be detrimental to the interests of the United
States” and directed that the entry of refugees under this
program be generally suspended until such time as the President determines that
the resumption of the program is in the interests of the United States. The
rationales given for this decision were the President’s concern about public safety and national security,
uncertainties about the ability of refugees to “fully and appropriately assimilate into the United
States,” and the need to preserve taxpayer resources for U.S.
citizens; and
Whereas,
This executive order was quickly challenged in federal court as exceeding the
President’s statutory and constitutional authority. A federal
district court enjoined the federal government from suspending the USRAP on February 25, 2025, but, while the appeal of this
case is ongoing, the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has limited the
injunction such that it only applies to a very narrow subset of individuals who
had nearly completed the process to be admitted as a refugee by January 20,
2025. While Executive Order No. 14,163 calls for reports to be submitted every
90 days regarding whether the USRAP should be
resumed, the first deadline for this report has passed without any indication
that the President’s policy will change; and
Whereas,
The USRAP should be reinstated. As was stated in the
September 2024 report to Congress on the USRAP, “[r]efugees are the most
thoroughly screened and vetted group to enter the United States” – they do not pose a threat to our safety or security.
Concerns about assimilation are similarly overblown; the USRAP
has
offered a cultural orientation for refugees, and, upon coming to the United
States, refugees become critical members of the communities they live in. The
United States has accepted more than three million refugees
since 1975, and we should not abandon our commitment to the
protection of this most vulnerable population; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That we urge the federal government to
reinstate the United States Refugee Admissions
Program; and be it further
Resolved,
That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United
States, the United States Secretary of Homeland
Security, and the United States Secretary of State.
The resolution was
referred to Committee on Government Operations.
Reps. Aragona, Woolford, Hoadley, Borton,
Prestin, Bierlein, Kelly,
Schuette, DeBoyer, Bruck, Alexander and MacDonell offered the following resolution:
House Resolution
No. 133.
A
resolution to commemorate the 115th anniversary of the Midwest Independent
Retailers Association.
Whereas, The
Midwest Independent Retailers Association (MIRA) serves as the premier trade
association representing independent retailers throughout the Midwest; and
Whereas, MIRA was
formed in 1910 as the Detroit Retail Meat Merchants by a handful of retailers
with common business concerns; and
Whereas, Membership
grew to other retail industries including convenience stores, petroleum
stations and automobile service stations, leading to the adoption of the name
Associated Food and Petroleum Dealers and later, through a series of mergers
with similar retail-based trade organizations in Michigan and Ohio, the
adoption of the name Midwest Independent Retailers Association in 2019, and
Whereas, MIRA now
represents thousands of members in a variety of retail and wholesale industries
in multiple states throughout the Midwest; and
Whereas, MIRA’s commitment to its seven pillars of service –
business, government relations, vendor programs, compliance, networking,
community outreach and the Midwest Independent Retailers Foundation, whose
mission is to give back to local communities and students through its
scholarship program – serve as the guiding principles by which the association
advances interests of small, independent businesses throughout the Midwest; and
Whereas, MIRA’s members serve as an anchor in many communities,
providing goods and services where big box stores do not exist, employing local
residents, generating local and state tax revenue, and raising their families
within these communities; and
Whereas, In 2025
MIRA is celebrating its 115th anniversary; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the
House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate
the 115th anniversary of the Midwest Independent Retailers Association.
The question being

The resolution was
adopted.
