Senator Walter H. North of the 37th District offered the following invocation:
I would like to observe a moment of silence before I give the invocation. Michigan lost a giant, not in stature, but certainly in effort for environmental issues and sportsmen's issues, in the passing of Rick Jameson last Saturday. So, I would appreciate it if we could observe a moment of silence in his memory.
Dear God, as we gather here to do the people's business, please give us the wisdom and the insight to focus on the message and not on the messenger. Avoid the temptation in the partisan season, in the heat of summer, to remain cool and come up with solutions to problems that are just for everyone. This we ask in Your name. Amen.

The following message from the Governor was received on June 17, 1998, and read:
EXECUTIVE ORDER
No.1998 - 4
Reading Plan for Michigan Advisory Council
Michigan Department of Education
Whereas, a child's ability to read is paramount in securing his or her future success; and
Whereas, the educational success of Michigan's children is the key to Michigan's future; and
Whereas, Executive Directive 1998-2 states Michigan's goal of having all children reading at or above grade level by the time they reach the fourth grade; and
Whereas, the best research shows that this is an attainable goal if children are screened early for learning difficulties and are taught using effective methods; and
Whereas, Executive Directive 1998-2 establishes the framework for the Reading Plan for Michigan (RPM) and directs the Superintendent of Public Instruction to cause the Department of Education to develop materials and collateral programs to fulfill the Reading Plan for Michigan; and
Whereas, in developing these materials and programs the Department should draw upon the wealth of knowledge and experience of educators and others who influence or are affected by the ability of Michigan school children to read.
Now, Therefore, I, John Engler, Governor of the State of Michigan, pursuant to the powers vested in me by the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 and the laws of the State of Michigan, do hereby order the following:
1. The Reading Plan for Michigan Advisory Council is hereby established within the Michigan Department of Education and is charged with providing advice and counsel to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for developing materials and programs related to the Reading Plan for Michigan (RPM). The council shall be comprised of eleven (11) members, appointed by the Governor, who possess a broad array of talents and experience relevant to the reading ability of children. The Governor shall designate the chair of the council.
2. The council shall have the following duties:
a. The Reading Plan for Michigan Advisory Council shall provide recommendations to the Superintendent of Public Instruction to guide the work of the Department of Education in the development of materials and programs related to the Reading Plan for Michigan (RPM). The RPM has four main components, as outlined in Executive Directive 1998-2: reading readiness kits, diagnostic instruments to assess reading readiness, reading progress portfolios and a summer reading program.
b. The council shall meet within one (1) month of the date of this Order at a time and location designated by the chair, and shall meet as often as necessary to fulfill its charge. The council's recommendations shall be forwarded to the Superintendent in a timely manner that corresponds with the deadlines established in Executive Directive 1998-2.
c. The council shall submit an annual report to the Governor and the Superintendent regarding progress in the implementation of the RPM.
d. Upon completion of its mission the council shall dissolve four (4) years from the date of this Order.
3. Members of the council shall not receive compensation, but may receive necessary expenses for the performance of council functions, based on existing state rates.
This Executive Order shall become effective upon filing.
[SEAL] Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the State of Michigan this 17th day of June, in the Year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety-eight.

Senator DeBeaussaert asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator DeBeaussaert's statement is as follows:
I rise to urge a vote for concurrence in the House changes to Senate Bill No.904. I think the House should be congratulated for their work in providing a better balance in the proposal that we are being asked to put before the voters of Michigan later this year. By adding additional dollars to address the issues of drinking water programs--clean drinking water, safe drinking water, for stopping the dumping of raw partially treated sewage provisions--to deal with the issue of lead abatement programs and pollution prevention. I think it provides the kind of balance that will help to ensure that this proposal could meet not only the requirement for the super majority in the House and Senate to get it on the ballot, but also to assure that the public will find greater support for it when it is placed before them. So, I would urge your support.

Senate Resolution No.207
Senate Resolution No.208
Senate Resolution No.209
Senate Resolution No.210
The resolution consent calendar was adopted.
Senator Bouchard offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No.207.
A resolution to commend the Hockey Hall of Fame for including the name of Vladimir Konstantinov on the Stanley Cup this season.
Whereas, Last year, the Detroit Red Wings won the Stanley Cup for the city. This year, they won it for their hearts. It was a hard fought battle, tiring, and painful at times, but their motivation was backed by a higher cause, one of "belief"; and
Whereas, One year ago, as the Detroit Red Wings patiently waited in the sitting room at Beaumont Hospital, doctors explained to the team that maybe Vladi will live and maybe he'll die. One year later, the Wings were doing what they had dreamed of doing all year long. With tears in their eyes, they handed the Stanley Cup to their colleague, Vladimir Konstantinov--the main motivation behind the repeat; and
Whereas, An inspiration to all and an excellent player, Vladi will always be remembered as one of the leading defense men in the game of hockey. He led the club's defense men with plus-6 in playoffs, he played on the NHL All-Rookies team from 1991-1992, received his 100th NHL point in 1995, played seven seasons with the Central Red Army and was Captain of the Red Army Soviet national teams, appeared in four World Championships beginning in 1986, was second scoring among defense men in the Soviet Elite League in 1989-1990, and was selected for 1996 World Cup Hockey. Not only was Vladimir Konstantinov known as a leading defense man, but he was also famous for his toughness on the ice. No one put their head down while playing against the "Vladinator"; and
Whereas, Sincere admiration goes out to Vladimir Konstantinov's wife, Irina, and daughter, Anastasia, for their tremendous support, strength, and love for Vladi; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That members of this legislative body wish to commend the Hockey Hall of Fame for including the name of Vladimir Konstantinov on the Stanley Cup. He is an idol, a motivator, and an inspiration to all; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Hockey Hall of Fame, the Detroit Red Wings, and Vladimir Konstantinov as a reminder of the faith and unity this team shares and their love and loyalty to their friend and teammate, Vladi.
Senator Bouchard offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No.208.
A resolution to call special attention to the drivers of Michigan about the dangers of driving while fatigued, sedated, or otherwise impaired.
Whereas, Drivers must perform a series of coordinated tasks using their hands, feet, eyes, ears, and body movement to drive safely and defensively, and to effectively perform of such tasks may be affected by fatigue; and
Whereas, The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration reports that driver fatigue is responsible for over 100,000 crashes per year, which kill 1,500 people and injure 71,000 people. Driver fatigue is the cause of a great number of motor vehicle fatalities annually in Michigan; and
Whereas, Driver fatigue and impairment is often caused by excessive driving and foregoing of necessary sleep in order to make unreasonable deadlines and schedules; and
Whereas, Driver fatigue and impairment may often be caused or worsened by the use of substances other than alcohol that may include herbal remedies, "designer drugs," and sedating medications--both prescription and over-the-counter. Consumption of these substances prior to driving a motor vehicle has the potential to impair the driver's ability to safely maneuver a motor vehicle; and
Whereas, Citizens Against Drug Impaired Drivers reports that of the approximately 43,000 annual motor fatalities in the United States, 10,000 to 15,000 fatalities involve substances other than alcohol; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That members of this legislative body remind drivers that fatigue contributes significantly to traffic accidents that may result in death and serious injury to Michigan motorists and pedestrians; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Robert Lammers and the members of the Madison Heights School Board as a token our of appreciation for their efforts as advocates for this cause.
Senators DeGrow, Geake, Gast, Hoffman, Schwarz, Conroy, Peters, Bennett, Shugars, Dunaskiss, Gougeon, Cisky, Bullard, Steil and Rogers offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No.209.
A resolution honoring Dr.Barbara Atkins.
Whereas, It is a special privilege to acknowledge the contributions of Dr.Barbara Atkins, as she brings to a close a career in state government which has spanned more than two decades. She is deserving of our gratitude and praise for her contributions to the people of the state of Michigan. With the commitment Barbara has given to the Michigan Department of Education, she has exhibited the highest standards of citizenship and unselfishness; and
Whereas, Born in Marshall, Barbara is a lifelong resident of this state, and Michigan has been most fortunate to have had such a leader in its service. After graduating with a bachelor's degree from Michigan State University in 1971, Barbara became an Instructional Manager for the Calhoun Area Vocational Center. In 1975, she completed her master's degree with honors from Western Michigan University and was shortly thereafter, chosen for the position of assistant principal at Waverly High School. Barbara joined the Department of Education in 1977 as a consultant, and nine years later, she became Executive Director of the Michigan Council on Vocational Education. During her years with the Council, Barbara also earned her Ph.D. from Michigan State University. From 1993 to 1996, she served as Supervisor of the Department's Curriculum Development Program, and for the past two years, Barbara has successfully performed as the State Director of the Office of Career and Technical Education; and
Whereas, We extend to Barbara our heartfelt gratitude and wish her the best in her newest career endeavor as Superintendent for the Bellaire Public School District. We are confident that she and her husband, Clifford Jump, will be significant assets to the community; and
Whereas, Barbara is an outstanding, compassionate, committed, valued, and dedicated person, who has been a strong advocate for students of all ages. The citizens of the state of Michigan are better off because of her years of service. As Barbara's career with the Michigan Department of Education comes to a close, may she know of our deep appreciation for her long service and valuable contributions; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That unanimous accolades of praise and tribute be hereby accorded to Dr.Barbara Atkins in recognition of her outstanding service to the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Dr.Atkins as evidence of our admiration.
Senators Hoffman Byrum, Bennett, Dunaskiss, Gast and North offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No.210.
A resolution memorializing Richard L. Jameson.
Whereas, We extend our heartfelt sympathies and deepest respect to the family and many friends of Richard L. Jameson, whose passing has saddened all who had the good fortune of knowing him. This loving family man and dedicated conservation activist devoted his life to promoting wildlife and environmental issues; and
Whereas, A graduate cum laude of Michigan State University with both bachelor's and master's degrees in natural resources policy, Rick began his initial tenure of service with the Michigan United Conservation Clubs in 1976. His first assignment was to the position of special projects coordinator, where he successfully assisted in the passage of Michigan's monumental beverage container deposit law; and
Whereas, Following eight years of service with the Oklahoma Wildlife Federation as the executive director, Rick returned to Michigan as the assistant executive director for the Michigan United Conservation Clubs. In the last ten years he coordinated efforts to obtain passage of numerous legislative initiatives, including measures to protect Great Lakes shoreline dunes, allow voters to guarantee funding for Michigan state parks, and assure that Michigan game animals will be managed on the basis of sound biological science; and
Whereas, Rick organized a group of concerned individuals to ultimately attain a court ruling that blocked an attempt to divert $31 million in tax credit revenue from state land oil and gas leases. His other contributions include alerting policymakers and the public to the problem of the underpayment of royalties to the state by oil and gas producers, and serving on a committee that worked with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and oil and gas producers on reforming the way Michigan does business with the petroleum industry. Additionally, Rick represented the Michigan United Conservation Clubs on the Citizens Committee for State Parks, State Forest Recreation Advisory Committee, Act 307 Environmental Response Advisory Committee, and the Game and Fish Fund Advisory Committee; and
Whereas, While many people came to know him through his work in these organizations, Rick was also well-known for his courage and strength during a difficult illness. Indeed, he was admired and highly respected by family, friends, and colleagues for his generosity and fortitude--two characteristics that combined to help make him a gentleman who gained strength from giving to others. We are grateful for the legacy of service Rick has left for all who had the privilege of knowing him. Truly, his wife, Robbie, and their daughter, Christina, can be justifiably proud of his outstanding contributions; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That this document be signed and dedicated to offer the highest praise and tribute to the memory of Richard L. Jameson; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to his wife, Robbie, and their daughter, Christina, as evidence of our deepest respect.
Senator Schuette was named co-sponsor of the resolution.
Statements
Senator Dingell asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Dingell's statement is as follows:
High technology intrusion devices are generally illegal in Michigan, yet it's apparently common practice for stalkers, busybodies, no-good-nicks and private investigators to use electronic devices to track the citizens of Michigan whereabouts without their knowledge.
Today, I've introduced legislation that prevents violation of the citizen's privacy through this kind of tracking device. It's Senate Bill No.1217, which would stop the placement of a tracking device on someone else's vehicle without the owners knowledge. The bill would not prevent law enforcement officials from legitimately using tracking devices to apprehend criminals. My bill would put a stop to this kind of gross intrusion of privacy. It would make it illegal for anyone but the police to place a tracking device on someone else's car without permission. Law enforcement officials currently make very limited use of tracking devices, but they only do so on investigations that would satisfy their requirements of a search warrant.
In these days of readily accessible high technology we must protect citizens from unwanted and potentially dangerous intrusions into their private lives. My bill will do just exactly that.
