Rev. Craig Tatum, Pastor of First Salem Missionary Baptist Church in Battle Creek, offered the following invocation:
“Eternal God our Father,
We have gathered here in this place where decisions are made that impact and transform the lives of the citizens who reside in the Great state of Michigan. As we convene today, we seek Your compassion and guidance to remember that our decisions help those who can’t help themselves. We seek Your wisdom, to make decisions for the common good of our state. We ask for unity as we seek to collectively make tough choices that benefit the whole and not just the few. Help us to always remember our calling, our cause for being here, and our commitment to the office we represent, as we sit at the table to discuss the welfare of our state.
We ask Your blessing on each person represented here today and thank You in advance for using them to make Michigan the Great State we have come to accept and believe that it is.
In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.”
Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Haveman, Schor, Price, Lori, Santana, Zemke, Singh, Driskell, Kandrevas, Heise, Walsh, Rogers, VerHeulen, Hooker, Poleski, Denby, Pagel, McBroom, McMillin, Victory, McCready, Kurtz, Lauwers, Daley, Graves, Foster, Shirkey, Hovey-Wright, Forlini, Lyons, O’Brien, McCann, Johnson, Kowall, Rendon, Cotter, Jacobsen, Pscholka, Kesto, Clemente, Knezek, Genetski, Glardon, Howrylak, Olumba and Durhal offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 404.
A resolution to urge the United States Supreme Court to clarify whether its holding in Miller v. Alabama applies retroactively.
Whereas, On June 25, 2012, the United States Supreme Court decided the case of Miller v. Alabama, which held that the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits a sentencing scheme that mandates a life sentence without the possibility of parole for juveniles convicted of homicide offenses. The Miller decision struck down laws requiring life without parole sentences for juveniles convicted of homicide offenses in 28 states, including Michigan; and
Whereas, The United States Supreme Court did not specify whether the Miller decision applied retroactively to those juvenile homicide offenders whose convictions were finalized prior to June 25, 2012. There are an estimated 2,000 offenders across the United States who were mandatorily sentenced to life without parole for crimes committed as juveniles prior to that date; and
Whereas, The question of the retroactive effect of the Miller decision has generated significant legal commentary and public interest, and has spawned a dichotomy of legal holdings and legislation across the nation. Courts and policymakers across the country have struggled with whether to apply the holding retroactively to juveniles convicted prior to June 25, 2012; and
Whereas, The Michigan Supreme Court recently issued an opinion holding that Miller does not apply retroactively to the approximately 330 offenders in this state who are currently serving life sentences without parole for homicide offenses committed prior to their 18th birthday and who exhausted their appeals prior to June 25, 2012; and
Whereas, The Michigan Supreme Court ruling aligns with decisions in some states but diverges from decisions in other states. State supreme courts in Louisiana, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania found that Miller does not apply retroactively. In contrast, state supreme courts in Illinois, Iowa, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska, and Texas have ruled that Miller does apply retroactively. Cases regarding the question of retroactivity remain pending before state supreme courts in Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida, and North Carolina; and
Whereas, Policymakers have also grappled with interpreting the Miller decision. Of the 28 states with laws mandating life sentences without parole for juvenile homicide offenders, 13 states have subsequently passed legislation in response to the holding, with four legislatively applying Miller retroactively and five legislating that Miller is to be applied prospectively only; and
Whereas, On at least two occasions, the United States Supreme Court has rejected an opportunity to revisit Miller and to settle the question of retroactive application; and
Whereas, As courts and state legislatures continue to struggle with this important issue and affected parties continue to await the outcomes of the appellate and legislative processes, the United States Supreme Court should give clarity and certainty to the question, so that there can be finality and a uniform application of the law across the United States; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the United States Supreme Court to clarify whether its holding in Miller v. Alabama applies retroactively; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Justices of the United States Supreme Court.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Criminal Justice.
Reps. Kowall, Forlini, Haveman, Pscholka, Genetski, Franz, Pettalia, Schmidt, Yonker, Price, MacMaster, Foster, Bumstead, Nesbitt, LaFontaine, Somerville, LaVoy and Brown offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 405.
A resolution to urge the federal government to properly fund beach monitoring without additional new requirements and to support real-time monitoring of beaches.
Whereas, Michigan beaches are highly valued by its citizens and iconic to the state. Ensuring beaches are safe for swimming is paramount to the state of Michigan; and
Whereas, Michigan conducts extensive water quality monitoring to protect public health. Beaches are monitored by local health departments using three water samples, sanitary surveys, and predictive models; and are protected with best management practices, including green infrastructure to minimize the impact of stormwater runoff; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan supports the use of new tools to quickly identify and correct sources of pollution at beaches. Current testing methods provide results in a day, but new technology provides test results within hours. Governor Rick Snyder and the Legislature approved a budget for the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality that includes $500,000 from the Water Quality and Use Initiative for the statewide implementation of real-time beach testing methods; and
Whereas, Congress has not fully supported Michigan and other coastal states’ efforts to monitor beaches. The Beaches Environmental Assessment and Coastal Health (BEACH) Act is intended to protect public health at coastal beaches through grants to state beach monitoring programs. However, funding for the BEACH Act has been lacking. Since 2000, Congress has authorized $30 million but only appropriated $10 million, and for the past three years, President Barack Obama has proposed no funding to implement the BEACH Act. Furthermore, the General Accounting Office reported that, under the current funding formula, Michigan receives less than an equitable share of the grant funds; and
Whereas, The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed new BEACH Act grant conditions that counter state efforts and may lead to less beach monitoring. The proposed conditions would require states to initiate a resource intensive effort to make minor modifications to water quality standards with minimal additional human health protection; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the federal government to properly fund BEACH Act monitoring to ensure the safety of our beaches and to provide this funding without additional new requirements; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge the federal government to support Michigan’s implementation of real-time beach monitoring so citizens can know if it is safe to swim before they enter the water; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 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 resolution was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources.
Reps. Lamonte, Hovey-Wright, Schor, Abed, Geiss, Barnett, Brown, Banks, Switalski, Darany, Brinks, Faris, Irwin, Dillon, Phelps, Cavanagh, Rutledge, Durhal, Singh, Cochran, Driskell, Dianda, Kivela, Stanley, Segal, Slavens, LaVoy, Knezek, Robinson, Santana, Kosowski, Nathan, Hobbs, Stallworth, Brunner, McCann, Haugh and Roberts offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 406.
A resolution to urge the President and Congress of the United States to close the federal tax loophole encouraging “tax inversions” by U.S. corporations.
Whereas, A growing number of U.S.-based corporations are declaring their headquarters in foreign countries to avoid paying U.S. taxes. In a process known as tax inversion, these corporations are purchasing foreign subsidiaries, declaring that their U.S. operations are owned by the foreign entity, and shifting much of their tax liability to foreign jurisdictions. In essence, they are renouncing their U.S. citizenship; and
Whereas, For all intents and purposes, many U.S. corporations participating in tax inversion deals continue to be based in the U.S. to take advantage of the American business climate and the protections and infrastructure afforded to them by American taxpayers. They still maintain their headquarters’ physical activities in the United States and rely on the same level of government services. This unfairly shifts the cost burden of public services to other businesses and individuals and will increase budget deficits going forward; and
Whereas, Action must be taken now to close the inversion tax loophole. Comprehensive tax reform to lower corporate tax rates, broaden the tax base, and simplify the system to eliminate wasteful carve-outs is the best long-term solution to this problem. However, Congress and the President must immediately close the inversion loophole before even more corporations shift their “tax home” overseas while continuing to work on comprehensive reform. Congress should quickly move to enact legislation like the Stop Corporate Inversions Act of 2014 introduced by Senator Carl Levin in the Senate and Representative Sander Levin in the House to increase the required percentage of foreign stockholder ownership before a corporation could be considered a foreign company for U.S. tax purposes; and
Whereas, Executive action can be taken now to immediately discourage corporate tax inversions if Congress fails to act. One of the strategies of inversion deals involves making loans from a foreign parent to a U.S. unit, which can then deduct the interest payments from its U.S. taxable income. Meanwhile, the foreign parent can book interest income at the foreign country’s lower tax rate. Corporate tax experts have pointed out that the Secretary of the Treasury already has been granted broad powers by Congress to discourage inversions under Section 385 of the U.S. Tax Code through the authority to set the standards for when financial instruments are treated as debt. This impacts when interest payments are deductible from taxable income and when certain debt should be treated as non-deductible equity. Modifying these standards so that debt of foreign-based U.S. corporations beyond a certain level is treated as equity would lessen the number of tax-avoiding inversion deals; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we to urge the President and Congress of the United States to close the federal tax loophole encouraging “tax inversions” by U.S. corporations; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to 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 resolution was referred to the Committee on Tax Policy.

THIS RESOLUTION IS OFFERED TO COMPLY WITH MCL 51.76.
Reps. McCready, Kosowski, Lori, Jenkins, Durhal and Kowall offered the following concurrent resolution:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 35.
A concurrent resolution relative to secondary road patrol funds for counties providing road patrol services to cities and villages.
Whereas, Section 77 of 1846 RS 14, MCL 51.77, provides funding for county secondary road patrol services pursuant to an agreement with the Office of Criminal Justice, which, pursuant to Executive Order No. 1989 – 4, is now the Office of Highway Safety Planning within the Department of State Police. An agreement also provides a maintenance of law enforcement effort standard for counties providing these secondary road patrol services, unless it is recognized that the reduction was due to cuts in general services due to economic conditions; and
Whereas, Section 76 of 1846 RS 14, MCL 51.76, permits road patrol services to be provided by county sheriff departments to cities and villages. This section also provides that a road patrol agreement is void if the city or village reduces the number of sworn law enforcement officers below the highest number employed at any time within the immediately preceding 36 months, unless the Michigan Legislature, by concurrent resolution, recognizes that the reduction was due to cuts in general services due to economic conditions; and
Whereas, Section 77 of 1846 RS 14, MCL 51.77, provides a formula for funding county secondary road patrol services. This formula permits road patrol services provided by county sheriff departments to cities and villages to be eligible for secondary road patrol funding as long as the city or village complies with the MCL 51.76 law enforcement maintenance of effort requirement, unless any reduction is recognized to be due to cuts in general services due to economic conditions; and
Whereas, In all of Michigan’s counties, cities, and villages, general services have been reduced as a result of serious economic difficulties. These reductions in services have occurred in direct reaction to economic conditions; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That, for Fiscal Year 2015, counties, cities, and villages in Michigan have been required to reduce general services because of economic conditions and are not reducing law enforcement services as stipulated in sections 76 or 77 of 1846 RS 14; and be it further
Resolved, That counties, cities, and villages have met the necessary terms of their agreements for road patrol services and secondary road patrol funding as they relate to maintenance of effort.
The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Appropriations.
