Rep. Matt Lori, from the 59th District, offered the following invocation:

“Psalm 66:16-20

Come and hear, all you who fear God;

let me tell you what He has done for me.

I cried out to Him with my mouth;

His praise was on my tongue.

If I had cherished sin in my heart,

the Lord would not have listened;

but God has surely listened

and has heard my prayer.

Praise be to God,

Who has not rejected my prayer

or withheld His love from me!

Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

Rep. Dianda offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 154.

A resolution to declare June 17-23, 2013, as Finnish-American Heritage Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, On Midsummer’s Eve 1865, some 30 Finns and Sámi landed on the shores of the Portage Canal in Hancock, Michigan, and began work in the copper mines the next day; and

Whereas, Their immigration formed a unique Finnish American culture that reflects their roots and their continued ties to Finns worldwide and across Michigan; and

Whereas, Finnish American cuisine, from mojakka, a traditional stew, to leipäjuusto or “squeaky cheese,” and sweet baked goods are still an important part of their rich culture; and

Whereas, The Finnish love for saunas has gone unchanged and saunas remain the place to go during the blistering cold winters of the Upper Peninsula; and

Whereas, Their pride in that ancestry is evident in a variety of ways - from bilingual street signs to Finnish flags on cars and light poles to the sounds of the Finnish language being spoken each day in local restaurants and coffee shops; and

Whereas, Finns’ strong work ethic in the mines made Michigan the world’s largest provider of copper for decades; and

Whereas, The 1913 Strike, during which many Finns fought for their rights as workers, was a momentous event in United States and Michigan labor history; and

Whereas, Michigan’s Copper Country is recognized as the focal point of Finnish immigration to America; and

Whereas, Michigan is home to the nation’s highest density of Finnish-Americans and more than 30 percent of the Copper Country’s residents can claim Finnish ancestry; and

Whereas, Michigan’s Copper Country remains a pivotal center of Finnish-American culture and is host to the most significant Finnish ethnic enclave outside of Finland; and

Whereas, Suomi College, now Finlandia University, in Hancock, Michigan, is the only institution of higher education founded by Finns in the United States; and

Whereas, Michigan boasts the Finnish American Historical Archives and it is the largest archival collection of Finnish American materials in the world; and

Whereas, Hancock, Michigan, has been honored this year by hosting FinnFest USA 2013, an international event that draws visitors from around the world to celebrate Finnish culture, for the third time; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 17-23, 2013, as Finnish-American Heritage Week in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the City of Hancock, the County of Houghton, Finlandia University and the FinnFest USA 2013 Organizing Committee.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

(2) A carrier with a suspension or exemption under section 3717 of the insurance code of 1956, 1956 PA 218, MCL 500.3717, on the effective date of this act SEPTEMBER 20, 2011 is subject to an assessment of 0.1%.

(3) All of the following apply to a group health plan that uses the services of a third party administrator or excess loss or stop loss insurer:

(a) A group health plan sponsor shall IS not be responsible for an assessment under this subsection for a paid claim where IF the assessment on that claim has been paid by a third party administrator or excess loss or stop loss insurer, except as otherwise provided in section 3a(2).

(b) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (d), the third party administrator shall be IS responsible for all assessments on paid claims paid by the third party administrator.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (d), the excess loss or stop loss insurer shall be IS responsible for all assessments on paid claims paid by the excess loss or stop loss insurer.

(d) If there is both a third party administrator and an excess loss or stop loss insurer servicing the group health plan, the third party administrator shall be IS responsible for all assessments for paid claims that are not reimbursed by the excess loss or stop loss insurer and the excess loss or stop loss insurer shall be IS responsible for all assessments for paid claims that are reimbursable to the excess loss or stop loss insurer.

A carrier or third party administrator entitled to a credit under this subsection shall apply that credit to the July 30 payment.
