Rep. Sharon Tyler, from the 78th District, offered the following invocation:

Our Heroes

By Phoebe Cary

Here’s a hand to the boy who has courage

To do what he knows to be right;

When he falls in the way of temptation

He has a hard battle to fight.

Who strives against self and his comrades

Will find a most powerful foe.

All honor to him if he conquers.

A cheer for the boy who says ‘NO!’

There’s many a battle fought daily

The world knows nothing about;

There’s many a brave little soldier

Whose strength puts a legion to rout.

And he who fights sin singlehanded

Is more of a hero, I say,

Than he who leads soldiers to battle

And conquers by arms in the fray.

Be steadfast, my boy, when you’re tempted.

To do what you know to be right.

Stand firm by the colors of manhood,

And you will o’ercome in the fight.

‘The right,’ be your battle cry ever

In waging the warfare of life.

And God, Who knows who are the heroes,

Will give you the strength for the strife.

Our Heavenly Father, Please give us the strength to do what is right and the courage to say no when we know something is wrong. Guide us in our decisions that we face daily and help us understand the impact those decisions may have on the people of the state of Michigan. May You bless our leaders, this body and all of the people we represent. We ask this in Jesus name. Amen.”

Rep. Stamas moved that House Committees be given leave to meet during the balance of today’s session.

The following communication from the Department of State Police was received and read:

July 1, 2012

The 2011 Michigan Annual Drunk Driving Audit provides detailed information concerning traffic fatalities and injuries, as well as arrest activities that are part of ongoing efforts to reduce drunk driving in our state. Alcohol and/or drug related fatal crashes remain a significant traffic safety issue, with approximately 35.6 percent of the total fatal crashes involving alcohol and/or drugs.

The crash data displayed for each county are 2011 traffic crash statistics. The Michigan Department of State Police, Criminal Justice Information Center, maintains the state’s central repository for all crash data collected in Michigan. The crash data is housed in the Traffic Crash Reporting System and the Drunk Driving Audit is created using this data.

A reportable crash in Michigan is defined as: a motor vehicle that is in transport on the roadway that results in death, injury or property damage of $1,000 or more. In addition, a crash is reported for any snowmobile or off-road vehicle (ORV) with damage of $100 or more, whether on the roadway or off the roadway.

The Michigan Annual Drunk Driving Audit was compiled with information and data provided by the Michigan Department of State Police, the Michigan Department of State, and the Michigan Department of Transportation. We appreciate the teamwork, assistance and dedication of each of these departments in helping to make Michigan’s roads safe. We look forward to our continued partnership.

Questions regarding Section I (Traffic Crash and Arrest Data) should be directed to the Michigan Department of State Police, Criminal Justice Information Center, Traffic Crash Reporting Section at (517) 241-1699. Questions regarding Section II (Conviction Disposition Data) should be directed to the Michigan Department of State at (517) 322-1598.

As you review this report, please feel free to contact the Traffic Crash Reporting Section at (517) 241-1699 with your suggestions and ideas.

Motions and Resolutions

The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 57.

A concurrent resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for William Van Regenmorter, former member of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Whereas, It was with great sorrow that the members of the Legislature learned of the death of our former colleague, William Van Regenmorter. Respected on both sides of the aisle, he will always be remembered as the humble and compassionate champion for crime victims; and

Whereas, A graduate of Calvin College, William Van Regenmorter began his career as a businessman and worked as an analyst for Dun and Bradstreet. He served as an Ottawa County commissioner before running to represent the people in the western Michigan region he loved. In 1982, he was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives; and

Whereas, For the next 24 years, William Van Regenmorter would distinguish himself as one of Michigan’s most conscientious and dedicated legislators in the House of Representatives and the Senate. For sixteen of those years, he served as chair of the Judiciary Committee, helping to shepherd through hundreds of bills that changed Michigan’s criminal and civil justice system for the better. He translated his strong belief in family values into creating laws that would require truth in sentencing for criminal prison terms, crack down on drunken driving, protect abused children, and assist people with disabilities; and

Whereas, In a legislative career with many high points, his singular achievement was on the issue of crime victims’ rights. At a time when crime victims had few rights in the justice system, he authored legislation that would become a national model. He successfully led efforts to amend Michigan’s constitution and statutes to ensure victims were treated fairly and with respect. He later founded the Crime Victim Foundation to financially assist crime victims. For these efforts and many others, he received numerous awards and honors over his career, culminating with the Ronald Wilson Reagan Public Policy Award in 2009; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of William Van Regenmorter, a member of the House of Representatives from 1983 to 1990 and 2003 to 2006 and a member of the Senate from 1991 to 2002; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Van Regenmorter family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory and contributions.

The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,

The concurrent resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.

Messages from the Senate

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 31.

A concurrent resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for Joseph F. Young, Jr., former member of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Whereas, The members of the Michigan Legislature were saddened to learn of the passing of Joe Young, Jr. For 24 years, he dedicated his life to helping the people of Detroit as their State Representative and State Senator. His warmth of heart and positive approach to policy-making will not soon be forgotten; and

Whereas, After his graduation from Michigan State University, Joe Young, Jr., entered the family business of public service. He began his career as a legislative staffer working for former House Speaker William Ryan, former Representative Alma Stallworth, and Congressman Dale Kildee. Following in the footsteps of his father, he was elected to the House of Representatives in 1978. He would spend the next 24 years serving the people of the Detroit area in the Michigan House of Representatives and Senate. For ten of those years, he served alongside his father, the first African-American father and son to serve together in the Michigan Legislature; and

Whereas, A conscientious lawmaker who took his efforts to help others seriously, Joe Young, Jr., was a strong advocate for children, worked tirelessly to help those in his district and the state, and was a trustworthy colleague. Constantly striving to become a better public servant, he attended Cooley Law School and earned a master’s degree in public administration from Western Michigan University while serving in the Legislature. Following his legislative service, he continued to demonstrate his passion for helping others as an active member of his church and as a weekend supervisor for his local school district’s recreation department; and

Whereas, Joe Young, Jr., left a lasting legacy with his work inside and outside the Legislature. He is survived by his four children, Kimberly Young, Kerry Marchand, Joseph F. Young III, and Brooke Young; and seven grandchildren, Dejah Young, Adam Eason, Jr., Julian Young, Kyara Marchand, Kennadie Marchand, Anthony Kyles III, and Kailey Kyles; who should all take great pride in the accomplishments of his life; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Joseph F. Young, Jr., a member of the House of Representatives from 1979 to 1994 and a member of the Senate from 1995 to 2002; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Young family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory and contributions.

Reps. Opsommer, Barnett, Bauer, Constan, Crawford, Darany, Denby, Durhal, Geiss, Heise, Hooker, Kandrevas, Knollenberg, Kowall, LeBlanc, Lindberg, O’Brien, Poleski, Potvin, Segal, Slavens, Switalski, Talabi and Tyler offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 296.

A resolution to recognize and honor the ten Michigan residents who will join with athletes from around the country in representing the United States at the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Whereas, Every four years, athletes from around the world come together in a spirit of goodwill and unity competing in events which test speed, strength, endurance, and dexterity; and

Whereas, The athletes who compete in the Olympics represent the very best each country has to offer. These men and women have devoted themselves to relentlessly pursuing an elusive mastery of their athletic craft; and

Whereas, These Olympians stand as symbols of their home country’s pride and promise and are living embodiments of their countrymen’s hopes and patriotism; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan has a history of producing gifted and remarkable athletes who proudly and ably represent our state and nation in competitions around the globe; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan is proudly sending ten men and women to represent the United States at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London; and

Whereas, Betsey Armstrong of Ann Arbor, a graduate of Huron High School and the University of Michigan, will represent the United States in women’s water polo; and

Whereas, Tia Brooks of Grand Rapids, a graduate of East Kentwood High School, will represent the United States in the women’s shot put; and

Whereas, It is with great pride that the state of Michigan sends these ten outstanding athletes to London to represent our great nation in the 2012 Summer Olympics; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize and honor the ten Michigan residents who will join with athletes from around the country in representing the United States at the 2012 Summer Olympics. We commend their commitment to athletic excellence. They have demonstrated they are among the greatest athletes in the world, and, in so doing, have shown themselves worthy of representing the United States and their native state in these Olympic games.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Smiley, Barnett, Bauer, Byrum, Constan, Darany, Durhal, Geiss, Kandrevas, Kowall, Lindberg, Segal, Slavens, Switalski and Talabi offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 297.

A resolution to urge the Department of Natural Resources and the Michigan Attorney General to work with the appropriate federal authorities and employ all available resources to investigate alleged price fixing and collusion among natural gas developers, and vigorously pursue damages to which the State of Michigan and impacted citizens are entitled.

Whereas, Natural gas is a part of Michigan’s rich legacy of natural resources. For decades energy companies have leased land in the northern Lower Peninsula to develop natural gas and bring it to market. These energy companies make millions of dollars selling the gas they extract from Michigan’s bedrock. In return, private landowners and the State of Michigan, on behalf of its citizens, receive lease payments and royalties; and

Whereas, According to the news organization, Reuters, two major players in Michigan’s natural gas industry may have colluded to reduce public and private lease prices. Reuters maintains that one month after the state and private landowners received record bids to lease land in the Utica-Collingwood natural gas fields, two companies exchanged emails about working together to avoid driving up future bids. Four months later, asserts Reuters, the average bid in the Utica-Collingwood fields dropped from about $1,400 to $46 per acre. This alleged activity amounts to price fixing between competitors, which is illegal under the federal Sherman Antitrust Act, and it may have cheated Michigan citizens out of tens of millions of dollars or more; and

Whereas, If these accusations are true, it would be a major betrayal of the public trust placed in these two companies. Natural gas development involves many procedures that could, if not performed safely and properly, damage the environment. If these two companies have indeed broken the law by colluding to bring prices down, their commitment to following other Michigan laws, including environmental laws could be questioned. Michigan’s rich legacy of natural resources should only be entrusted to companies that act with good faith and integrity. It is imperative to find out the truth about the assertions made by Reuters. If collusion and price fixing have occurred, Michigan citizens must be made whole. All appropriate civil damages and criminal penalties must be pursued; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Department of Natural Resources and the Michigan Attorney General to work with the appropriate federal authorities and employ all available resources to investigate alleged price fixing and collusion among natural gas developers, and vigorously pursue damages to which the State of Michigan and impacted citizens are entitled; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Director of the Department of Natural Resources and the Michigan Attorney General.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Energy and Technology.

Reps. Daley, Barnett, Constan, Darany, Durhal, Geiss, Heise, Kandrevas, Knollenberg, LeBlanc, Potvin, Slavens and Talabi offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 298.

A resolution to declare July 2012 as Professional Pest Management Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Effective pest management in homes, businesses, and public places throughout our state is an important factor in maintaining the health and well-being of all Michiganders; and

Whereas, Pest management professionals help protect Michigan’s food supply, homes, and the environment from disease and pest-related illnesses by practicing environmentally friendly pest-control methods; and

Whereas, The Michigan Pest Management Association provides networking and leadership opportunities for Michigan’s pest management professionals and is recognized for its efforts to protect our environment as well as to ensure the safe and effective use of pest management materials; and

Whereas, The National Pest Management Association is committed to educating the public about the dangers posed by pests and the damage they can cause through its website, www.pestworld.org ; and

Whereas, Pest Management Month offers all Michiganders an opportunity to understand and appreciate the important role that pest management providers play in ensuring the health and well-being of Michiganders; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare July 2012 as Professional Pest Management Month in the state of Michigan, and call this observance to the attention of all our citizens

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Rep. Nesbitt offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 299.

A resolution to declare August 2012 as Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) kills more children than any other genetic disease; and

Whereas, SMA causes degeneration in voluntary muscle movement for those impacted by the disease, eventually impacting their ability to walk, sit, crawl, stand, breathe, eat, and even swallow; and

Whereas, One in every 40 people, or nearly 10 million Americans, unknowingly carries the gene responsible for SMA. Few have any known family history; and

Whereas, SMA is a pan-ethnic disease that does not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, or gender; and

Whereas, SMA does not impact the mind. Children with SMA are bright, sensitive, and playful in spite of their failing bodies; and

Whereas, Most children impacted by SMA succumb to the disease before their second birthday; and

Whereas, There is currently no treatment and no cure for SMA, but the National Institutes of Health selected SMA as the disease closest to treatment of more than 600 neurological disorders; and

Whereas The nation’s leading researchers signed a statement stressing that, with adequate resources, a viable treatment or cure is attainable in as little as five years; and

Whereas, SMA research is considered a “model” approach, with the potential of benefiting millions of people impacted by other diseases, including ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Fragile X, and Tay Sachs, among others; and

Whereas, Increased awareness of SMA will lead to increased knowledge and increased support for both disease research and families affected by the disease, hopefully leading to a cure; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare August 2012 as Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We encourage greater awareness and research for this devastating disease.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Rep. Rendon offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 300.

A resolution to encourage elementary schools throughout Michigan to incorporate the gun safety curriculum found in the Michigan Model for Health program and to encourage all schools to incorporate gun safety programs at all grade levels.

Whereas, In 2009, there were 355 youth deaths, under the age of 14, due to firearms. Children who encounter a gun may be unaware of the dangers. Lack of knowledge and awareness of how to act around a gun may result in the accidental shootings of themselves or another person; and

Whereas, In 2010, the Michigan Legislature enacted Public Act 367 requiring the Michigan Department of Education to establish a model program for gun safety instruction for elementary school pupils. Under the Public Act, each school district is encouraged to implement the model gun safety program in at least grade 3, but also in prekindergarten to grade 2; and

Whereas, The National Rifle Association has created the Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program that encourages children who encounter a gun to “STOP! Don’t touch. Leave the area. Tell an adult.” In addition, the Department of Education’s Model for Health program provides similar student instruction on proper behavior around dangerous weapons; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we encourage elementary schools throughout Michigan to incorporate the gun safety curriculum found in the Michigan Model for Health and to encourage all schools to incorporate gun safety programs at all grade levels; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Michigan Association of School Administrators, and the Michigan Association of School Boards.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Education.

Reps. Ouimet, Zorn, Walsh, Denby, Pettalia, Graves and Shaughnessy offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 301.

A resolution to encourage Michigan schools to offer entrepreneurial education as part of the K-12 curriculum.

Whereas, Entrepreneurs drive America’s economy, accounting for the majority of our nation’s innovations and new job creation. Talent and an entrepreneurial spirit have emerged in the last decade as the leading contributors to economic growth; and

Whereas, Our educational system should inspire students to create, and not simply respond to, economic opportunities. Almost 70% of teenagers polled by Junior Achievement in 2005 wanted to become entrepreneurs, although youth receive very little information about entrepreneurship as a career option; and

Whereas, Entrepreneurial education should be an integral part of the offerings of Michigan’s K-12 education institutions. All schools should offer enriching and innovative programs that allow students to have hands-on, project-based, multidisciplinary experiences infused with creativity and innovation that help build the foundation they will need to start a business in Michigan. Entrepreneurial education connects the classroom to the workplace in student-centered, experiential learning, and may be a factor in encouraging students to stay in school, reducing youth unemployment and crime; and

Whereas, Entrepreneurial education provides students with the knowledge, skills and motivation to succeed in a variety of settings. Through entrepreneurial education, students can take risks, manage the results, and learn from the outcomes while developing organizational, time management, leadership, interpersonal, problem solving, and critical thinking skills which are highly transferable to any workplace; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we encourage Michigan schools to offer entrepreneurial education as part of the K-12 curriculum; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Michigan Association of School Boards, and the Michigan Association of School Administrators.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Education.

The Speaker called the Speaker Pro Tempore to the Chair.

Rep. Segal offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 302.

A resolution to urge the Governor to formulate a comprehensive plan for improved pipeline oversight in Michigan.

Whereas, The rupture of Enbridge Line 6B, which occurred on July 25, 2010 in Marshall, Michigan, was the single most expensive on-shore oil spill in the history of the United States. The rupture spilled over 840,000 gallons of heavy crude oil into a creek that feeds the Kalamazoo River. The spill affected wetlands, farmlands, residential areas, and businesses. Hundreds of people suffered adverse health effects from toxic compounds in the oil. Cleanup costs are estimated at $800 million and counting; and

Whereas, After investigating the incident, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) concluded that the rupture occurred because of pervasive organizational failures by Enbridge and weak government oversight. According to the NTSB, there was a complete breakdown of safety at Enbridge as the company’s employees failed to recognize that the pipeline had ruptured and was pumping crude oil into the environment for more than 17 hours; and

Whereas, The Enbridge Line 6B is just one of many pipelines in Michigan. According to the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), 3,128 miles of hazardous liquid pipelines crisscross Michigan. These pipelines traverse many environmentally sensitive and ecologically important areas. Enbridge pipelines even lie beneath the Straits of Mackinac; and

Whereas, The PHMSA is responsible for ensuring that petroleum pipelines in Michigan and elsewhere are safe, reliable, and environmentally sound. Currently, PHMSA has 113 federal inspectors providing oversight to more than 2 million miles of pipelines across the country. There are no PHMSA inspectors based in Michigan and only a handful in the Great Lakes region; and

Whereas, Michigan must work with PHMSA to ensure pipeline safety and protect our natural resources. Pipelines traversing Michigan should be constructed and maintained to the highest level to protect the precious natural resources through which they pass. Michigan should have its own pipeline inspectors who can monitor pipeline companies and who have the authority to intervene as appropriate; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Governor to formulate a plan for improved pipeline oversight in Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Energy and Technology.

Rep. Byrum moved that Rule 42 be suspended.

The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.

Rep. Byrum moved that the Committee on Commerce be discharged from further consideration of House Bill No. 4611.

The question being on the motion made by Rep. Byrum,

Rep. Stamas moved that consideration of the motion be postponed for the day.

The motion prevailed.

Rep. Segal offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 59.

The following veto message from the Governor was received and read:

Executive Office, Lansing, June 28, 2012

Michigan House of Representatives

State Capitol Building

Lansing, Michigan 48913

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Today I am returning to you Enrolled House Bill 4116 without signature. While I support the bill’s objective of increasing transparency and openness in government, the bill raises separation of powers concerns by directing executive branch officers and agencies on how to undertake a legal analysis that should rest within the discretion of the executive. Furthermore, the legal analysis the bill would require might be costly and difficult for an agency lacking internal legal counsel to conduct.

Enrolled House Bill 4116 requires that before entering into a “cross boundary memorandum of agreement” a state officer or governmental unit forward the agreement to the Attorney General with a preliminary review that addresses whether it is legally binding or enforceable. For those agreements that “appear to be” legally binding or enforceable, the unit of government or state officer must also provide to the Attorney General a “written full review” that includes an analysis of “state and federal constitutional requirements and limitations” and the existence of statutory authority for the agreement, among other things.

The agreements the bill covers involve the exercise of inherent executive branch power and responsibility. Undertaking an extensive legal review of those agreements should be left to the sound discretion of the agency in carrying out its executive role and purpose. Imposing such a requirement through legislative action invades the proper role of the executive branch in “executing” the law. Simply put, executive branch agencies should be left to determine when such a review is proper or necessary, as they are constitutionally charged with carrying out the law and following the dictates of the constitution in doing so.

Furthermore, the bill puts executive branch agencies in the odd position of appearing to have to justify their actions to their own lawyer, namely, the Attorney General. By requiring that the agencies submit a legal review of legally binding or enforceable agreements to the Attorney General, the bill places the client agency in the odd position of supplying a legal analysis to its own attorney.

In addition to the requirement of a legal analysis, Enrolled House Bill 4116 would require the Office of the Great Seal to create a central repository for all such agreements and eventually make them publicly available on the internet. I wholeheartedly support this effort to create more openness and transparency in government and would be happy to work with you on a bill to achieve this laudatory objective. In the meantime, I will work with the Secretary of State to achieve the goal of greater transparency set forth in Enrolled House Bill 4116, whether that goal is statutorily required or not.

Sincerely,

Rick Snyder

Governor

The question being on the passage of the bill, the objections of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding,

Rep. Stamas moved that the bill be re-referred to the Committee on Oversight, Reform, and Ethics.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Today I am returning to you Enrolled House Bill 5061 without signature. Enrolled House Bill 5061 requires a clerk to issue an absent voter ballot to a person who did not check the citizenship box on the absentee application but not count the ballot unless he or she answers the citizenship question before the polls close on election day. I am concerned that enrolled House Bill 5061 could create voter confusion among absentee voters.

I appreciate the Secretary of State’s efforts to ensure that voters are properly qualified, including the requirement that they are US citizens. Her efforts in ensuring voter participation are well known and applauded. An alternative would be to simply include US citizen in the voter’s opening declarative statement on the application.

Voting rights are precious and we need to work especially hard to make it possible for people to vote. I look forward to working with you and the Secretary of State to address the issues above so we can implement improvements to our system.

Sincerely,

Rick Snyder

Executive Office, Lansing, June 26, 2012

Michigan House of Representatives

Lansing MI 48909-7536

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Today I have signed Enrolled House Bill 5365, which makes appropriations for various departments and agencies, the judicial branch and the legislative branch for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013. I have, however, disapproved six items pursuant to Section 19 of Article V of the Michigan Constitution of 1963. The specific vetoes are detailed in the attached copy of the bill that has been filed with the Secretary of State.

I have disapproved the appropriation in Article IV, section 110, for the Healthy Homes program within the Department of Community Health because the Legislature increased funding for this program using state restricted funds which are not available. I will transmit a request to the Legislature to restore funding for the Healthy Homes program at the level included in my original recommendation.

I have disapproved two appropriations for the Department of Community Health in Article IV, sections 1136 and 1137, because these appropriations utilize federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds which are not available.

I have disapproved the appropriation in Article VIII, section 1052, because funding for this purpose is provided elsewhere in the budget.

I have disapproved a one-time appropriation for the Department of Human Services in Article X, section 114 and related boilerplate section 1203, establishing a before-and-after school program because it is not prudent to establish an ongoing program utilizing one-time revenues.

Finally, I have disapproved the appropriation within the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs contained in Article XII, section 342, because it singles out a specific industry for preferential treatment.

In providing direction to departments in implementing appropriations contained in Enrolled House Bill 5365, I note that the following boilerplate sections are unenforceable: section 803 (Article I); sections 925(2) and section 925a (Article VIII); section 341 (Article XII); section 703(1) (Article XIII); and section 384 (Article XVII).

Enrolled House Bill 5365 also contains numerous boilerplate sections that include statements of legislative intent. We will take these legislative preferences into consideration as departments and agencies implement the appropriations. However, these legislative intent statements do not impose conditions on appropriations and are non-binding upon departments and agencies implementing the appropriations.

I thank the Legislature for adopting this omnibus appropriation bill and for demonstrating once again its commitment to completing the budget in a timely fashion. I appreciate the support of members of the Michigan House and Senate in helping to insure that Michigan is a strong, vibrant state.

Respectfully,

Rick Snyder

Motions and Resolutions

Rep. Stamas moved that when the House adjourns today it stand adjourned until Wednesday, August 15, at 12:00 Noon.

The motion prevailed.

Reps. Hammel, Segal, Bledsoe, Lindberg, McCann, Greimel, Kandrevas, Byrum, Brown, Stallworth, Geiss, Barnett, Olumba, Brunner, Smiley, Cavanagh, Slavens, Dillon, Darany, Lipton, Rutledge, Talabi, Bauer, Stanley, Irwin, Hovey‑Wright, Durhal, Townsend, Meadows, Switalski, Womack, Oakes and Nathan offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 303.

A resolution to call on the House Standing Committee on Oversight, Reform, and Ethics to conduct an investigation, with public hearings in compliance with the Open Meetings Act, of any ethics misconduct, violations of House Rules, or misuse of state resources by members and staff in the candidate filings for the 76th House District.

Whereas, The recent filings of candidates for the 76th House District have raised questions about the involvement and role played by members and staff of this legislative body. While the Kent County Prosecutor identified no illegal actions, his report clearly questioned the ethical conduct of members and staff; and

Whereas, A recent report by State Integrity Investigation ranked Michigan’s government 43rd in the country in terms of accountability and risk of corruption. The report card gave Michigan an “F” grade in areas like campaign finance and legislative accountability among other areas; and

Whereas, A thorough and transparent investigation is needed to restore the integrity and the public’s trust in this legislative body. Michigan’s citizens deserve to know what happened and if any misconduct, violations, or misuse occurred or the assurance that their representatives acted ethically and within the standards of conduct expected of public officials; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we call on the House Standing Committee on Oversight, Reform, and Ethics to conduct an investigation, with public hearings in compliance with the Open Meetings Act, of any ethics misconduct, violations of House Rules, or misuse of state resources by members and staff in the candidate filings for the 76th House District; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Chair of the House Standing Committee on Oversight, Reform, and Ethics.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

Rep. Cotter offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 304.

A resolution to recognize and honor all of the athletes from around the country who will represent the United States at the 2012 Summer Paralympic Games.

Whereas, The Paralympics are a global showcase for elite athletes with disabilities to participate in 20 different events that test speed, strength, endurance, and dexterity. More than just an athletic competition, the Paralympics serve as a vehicle to change societal perceptions of individuals with disabilities and to inspire the world with stories of courage, perseverance, determination, and triumph; and

Whereas, The Paralympics have a long and distinguished history, beginning in 1948, when a group of 16 British World War II veterans with spinal cord injuries participated in the Stoke Mandeville Games in England. Four years later, in 1952, Dutch veterans joined the competition, and the International Stoke Mandeville Games were founded. These games would eventually become the Paralympics, and in 1960, the inaugural Paralympic Games took place in Rome, Italy, with 400 athletes from 23 countries competing in 13 different events; and

Whereas, Since 1960, the Paralympic Games have taken place every four years, and the 2012 Summer Paralympic Games in London will be the fourteenth Paralympics, and the largest in the history of the games, with an estimated 4,200 athletes from 160 nations participating in 20 sports; and

Whereas, The athletes who compete in the Paralympics represent an indomitable spirit and incredible stories that move, inspire, and improve society, teaching the values of acceptance and appreciation for people with disabilities. By linking sport with social awareness, the Paralympics contribute to the development of a more equitable society that respects all individuals and breaks down barriers; and

Whereas, Through persistence and perseverance, Paralympic athletes achieve sporting excellence, thereby allowing individuals the world over to see that people with disabilities possess tremendous sporting skill and are capable of elite athletic performances. Thus, by pushing their physical abilities to the absolute limit and embodying the Paralympic values of courage and determination, these amazing athletes help contribute to a better, more inclusive world for all people; and

Whereas, It is with great pride that the people of Michigan recognize the exceptional athletes who will represent our great nation in the 2012 Summer Paralympic Games; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize and honor all of the athletes from around the country who will represent the United States at the 2012 Summer Paralympic Games. They, through their commitment to athletic excellence, courage, and determination, have proved themselves to be among the greatest athletes in the world, and, in so doing, have shown themselves worthy of representing the United States in the 2012 Summer Paralympic Games.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Local, Intergovernmental, and Regional Affairs.

Explanation of “No” Votes

Rep. Lipton, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of House Bill No. 5711, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on House Bill 5711, because this legislation represents a continued attack on women’s health and is an intrusion on the doctor-patient relationship. It will not only endanger women by restricting access to a legal procedure, but it will punish physicians and will result in fewer OB/GYN doctors entering our state to provide health care services to women.

This legislation creates many barriers in an effort to essentially ban legal abortions and requires physicians to adhere to a government imposed process during confidential doctor-patient discussions. Without unrestricted access to comprehensive women’s health services that takes into consideration the medical judgment of the physician, women will be less likely to seek services during pregnancy. Already, the sixth and seventh leading causes of death for women in the United States ages 20 to 24 years and between 15 and 34 years old, respectively, are ‘pregnancy complications’; this legislation would work against improving the prevention of pregnancy-related deaths.

A 2010 report by the Michigan Department of Community Health identified that 21 of Michigan’s 83 counties were without at least one OB/GYN provider. This House Bill imposes capricious fines, civil litigation, and criminal sentences for physicians providing pregnancy-related services, which will deter OB/GYNs from choosing to work in our state and even further restrict access to quality women’s health care. Further, the legislation uses terminology that is not widely accepted within the medical field and that is especially vague, creating confusion for physicians and then holding them liable for any violations.

Adding to adverse effect on the potential for job creation, the bill contains several onerous and unnecessary regulations for health centers to meet in addition to the ones already in place to provide safe medical procedures, which could lead to the closing of clinics and the loss of jobs.

Finally, I voted against this bill, because it targets one segment of the medical field and is the nation’s most sweeping and unprecedented attack on women’s reproductive health, and it was not thoroughly vetted as it was rushed through the legislative process.

I also did not support gaveling on Immediate Effect to HB5711 without a roll call vote.”
