Fr. Raymond Bucon, Chaplain of Dearborn Heights Police Department in Dearborn Heights, offered the following invocation:

“Almighty God of the universe, we thank You for Your love for us, the people of Michigan.

We thank You that You have given us these 83 counties to be our home; pleasant peninsulas whose beauty we recognize every time we look around us.

We thank You that You have made us a free people, drawn from every race and language and creed in the world, seeking to live in mutual respect and cooperation.

We bless Your name for our religious liberty and praise You that in our exercise of this liberty we have been able to do our part to make our State and our Nation a greater and freer people, a light of liberty to the world.

We come before You vividly aware of how much needs to be done to strengthen the state of Michigan the fabric of our community through works of solidarity, and we know that achieving our aspirations is only possible with Your merciful help.

With this perspective, we embrace our work this day. We come before You as women and men committed to the trust given to us by our constituents.

Led by Your Spirit, we ask You to open our minds and hearts to our responsibilities; teach us how to exercise wisdom, courage, and all our gifts for the common good by arriving at workable and reasonable solutions.

Bless in a special way this day, these elected Members and their families and staffs, in order that they may continue to reach for the highest, noblest, and greatest benefits for our people.

May our actions result in greater charity, justice, and a transformation that is for Your greater honor and glory. Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Rabhi, Chang, Singh, Brinks, Green, Moss, Greig, Lasinski, Clemente, LaGrand, Chirkun, Elder, Santana, Cambensy, Geiss, Dianda, Greimel, Hertel, Sabo, Faris, Sneller, Camilleri, Howrylak, Liberati, Wittenberg, Gay-Dagnogo, Hoadley, LaSata, Marino, Bizon, VanSingel, Noble, LaFave, Kosowski, Jones, Zemke, Cochran, Crawford, Kelly, Love, Maturen and Sowerby offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 327.

A resolution to declare May 2018 as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The state of Michigan is fortunate to be home to more than 300,000 residents of Asian and Pacific Island descent; and

Whereas, Asian Pacific Americans comprise one of the fastest growing populations in both the state and the nation; in fact, the largest growing population in Michigan, according to the 2010 U.S. Census; and

Whereas, The Asian and Pacific Island regions are tremendously diverse; with more than thirty countries, sixteen major ethnic groups, nine languages, and numerous belief systems bringing their culture to Michigan; and

Whereas, Citizens of Asian and Pacific Island descent, in each generation, from the laborers who connected our coasts one-and-a-half centuries ago, to the patriots who fought overseas while their families were interned at home these patriotic Americans have enhanced our culture, quality of life, and economic vitality through leadership, commitments to knowledge and advancement, and dedication to their communities; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan and the United States of America have been enriched by the contributions of Asian Pacific Americans in all facets of life, including the arts, sciences, business, education, and philanthropy. Michigan has recognized the contribution Asian Pacific Americans and other immigrants make to our economy with the establishment of the Michigan Office for New Americans; and

Whereas, The culture and contributions of our Asian and Pacific Island residents will continue to grow in significance as more Asian Pacific Americans choose to make Michigan their home and as our economy becomes increasingly intertwined with the economies throughout Asia; and

Whereas, Asian Pacific Americans, through advocating issues of justice and equality, continue to break down the barriers of discrimination, indifference, and intolerance, thereby opening doors for all Asian Pacific Americans; and

Whereas, Asian Pacific American residents are proudly served in Michigan by many dedicated organizations, including the Michigan Asian Pacific American Affairs Commission, the Asian Pacific American Chamber of Commerce, the Council of Asian Pacific Americans, Asian American Citizens for Justice, Asian Center Southeast Michigan and the West Michigan Asian Pacific American Association, APIA Vote - Michigan and the Michigan Asian Pacific American Bar Association; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan takes pride in its cultural diversity and welcomes the opportunity to honor our Asian Pacific American residents for their lasting, expanding, imprint upon our state; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2018 as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in the state of Michigan. We encourage all citizens to celebrate the individual and collective contributions of Asian Pacific Americans to this state and to this country.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

House Concurrent Resolution No. 22.

A concurrent resolution to oppose the Michigan State Waterways Commission recommendation that legislation be introduced to require the registration with a fee of all rigid-hulled kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards eight feet or longer.

(For text of resolution, see House Journal No. 38, p. 678.)

With the recommendation that the following substitute (H-1) be adopted and that the resolution then be adopted.

Substitute for House Concurrent Resolution No. 22.

A concurrent resolution to oppose the Michigan State Waterways Commission recommendation that legislation be introduced to require the registration with a fee of all rigid-hulled kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards eight feet or longer.

Whereas, Paddle sports are one of the fastest-growing outdoor activities in the nation. Many Michigan residents and visitors from other states enjoy a leisurely paddle on the waters of this state and in doing so, contribute more than $140 million to Michigan’s economy; and

Whereas, The Michigan State Waterways Commission recently passed Resolution 02-2018-01 recommending that registration fees be implemented for all rigid-hulled kayaks and canoes as well as paddleboards eight feet or longer. Under current law, these vessels are exempt from fees and registration in Michigan; and

Whereas, Most paddlers will receive minimal benefit from the registration fees, especially the many boaters who exclusively paddle inland waterways and rivers. Although some rustic and unimproved access sites exist along Michigan’s waterways and rivers, most funding for access sites go to state boat launches designed for powerboats and trailers. These sites are not necessarily safe or easy for paddlers to use. Paddlers who do choose to launch from state sites must purchase a recreation passport which supports the maintenance and operation of these sites. Registration fees also fund sheriff patrols on Michigan’s inland lakes. Although safer inland lakes are beneficial to paddlers, increased safety patrols will provide little benefit for paddlers traversing rivers and scenic waterways; and

Whereas, As more Michigan residents discover the excitement and adventure of paddling on Michigan waterways, a registration fee on these vessels would only curtail the growth of a sport that provides great benefits to our state. A family sport, paddling allows residents who are unable to participate in powerboating to access our boundless water resources. A registration fee would only place a burden on our residents while adversely impacting the economic benefits that paddle sports bring to Michigan; and

Whereas, On April 25th, 2018, due to wide-spread public and legislative opposition, the Michigan State Waterways Commission passed Resolution 04-2018-04 which amended Resolution 02-2018-01. This new resolution calls for further evaluation and extended public input how to improve Michigan’s paddle sports recreational opportunities. Further Resolution 04-2018-04 indicates the Michigan State Waterways Commission will not pursue a paddle sport craft fee at this time; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we oppose the registration with a fee of all rigid-hulled kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards eight feet or longer and we encourage the Michigan State Waterways Commission to look at ways to improve recreational opportunities other than recommending new fees on Michigan families; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the members of the Michigan State Waterways Commission.
