A governmental subdivision may by ordinance assume responsibility for administration and enforcement of this act within its political boundary.

A county ordinance adopted pursuant to this act shall be adopted by the county board of commissioners and shall be signed by the chairperson of the county board of commissioners and certified by the county clerk.

(2) A governmental subdivision that has assumed the responsibility for administering and enforcing this act and the code may through its chief legal officer issue a complaint and obtain a warrant for a violation of this act or the code and prosecute the violation with the same power and authority it possesses in prosecuting a local ordinance violation. If pursuant to section 23, a governmental subdivision has by ordinance designated a violation of the act or code as a municipal civil infraction, the governmental subdivision may issue a citation or municipal ordinance violation notice pursuant to chapter 87 of the revised judicature act of 1961, ~~Act No. 236 of the Public Acts of 1961, being sections 600.8701 to 600.8733 of the Michigan Compiled Laws~~ 1961 PA 236, MCL 600.8701 TO 600.8735, for a violation of the act or code. Unless otherwise provided by local law or ordinance, the legislative body of a governmental subdivision responsible for administration and enforcement of this act and the code shall designate an enforcing agency that shall discharge the responsibilities of the governmental subdivision under this act. Governmental subdivisions may provide by agreement for joint enforcement of this act.

(3) Subject to the other provisions of this act, an enforcing agency is any official or agent of a governmental subdivision qualified by experience or training to perform the duties associated with construction code administration and enforcement.

(4) Before January 10, 1981, the ~~executive~~ director shall provide each governmental subdivision administering and enforcing this act and the code with a notice of intent form. This form shall set forth the date return receipt is required, which date shall not be less than 60 days. The chief elected official of the governmental subdivision that receives this notice shall indicate on the form the intention of the governmental subdivision as to whether it shall continue to administer and enforce this act and the code and transmit this notice to the ~~executive~~ director within the prescribed period. If a governmental subdivision fails to submit a notice of intent to continue to administer and enforce this act and the code within the date set forth in the notice, the ~~executive~~ director shall send a notice by registered mail to the clerk of that governmental subdivision. This notice shall indicate that the governmental subdivision has 15 additional days in which to submit a notice of intent to continue to administer and enforce this act and the code. If the governmental subdivision does not respond by the end of the 15 additional days, it shall be conclusively presumed that the governmental subdivision does not intend to continue to administer and enforce this act and the code and the ~~executive~~ director shall assume the responsibility for administering and enforcing this act and the code in that governmental subdivision, unless the county within which the governmental subdivision is located submits a notice of intent to continue to administer and enforce this act and the code.

(5) A county that is administering and enforcing this act and the code on December 30, 1980 and that submits a notice of intent to continue to administer and enforce this act and the code pursuant to subsection (4) is responsible for the administration and enforcement of this act and the code for each governmental subdivision within the county that does not submit a notice of intent to continue to administer and enforce this act and the code or another nationally recognized model code within its jurisdiction. The ~~executive~~ director shall notify the county of those governmental subdivisions that do not submit a notice of intent.

(6) A governmental subdivision that, before December 30, 1980, did not administer and enforce either this act and the code or another nationally recognized model code may elect to assume the responsibility for the administration and enforcement of this act and the code pursuant to subsection (1) by the passage of an ordinance to that effect. A governmental subdivision that makes this election after December 30, 1980 shall submit, in addition to the ordinance, an application to the commission for approval to administer and enforce this act and the code within its jurisdiction. This application shall be made on the proper form to be provided by the commission. The standards for approval shall include, but not be limited to, the certification by the governmental subdivision that the enforcing agency is qualified by experience or training to administer and enforce this act and the code and all related acts and rules, that agency personnel are provided as necessary, that administrative services are provided, that plan review services are provided, and that timely field inspection services will be provided. The ~~executive~~ director shall seek additional information if the ~~executive~~ director considers it necessary. The commission shall render a decision on the application for approval to administer and enforce this act and the code and transmit its findings to the governmental subdivision within 90 days of receipt of the application. The commission shall document its reasons, if the commission disapproves an application. A governmental subdivision that receives a disapproval may resubmit its application for approval. Upon receipt of approval from the commission for the administration and enforcement of this act and the code, the governmental subdivision shall administer and enforce this act and the code within its jurisdiction pursuant to the provisions of this act and the application.

(7) A governmental subdivision that elects to administer and enforce this act and the code within its jurisdiction by the adoption of an ordinance may rescind that ordinance and transfer the responsibility for the administration and enforcement of this act and the code to the ~~executive~~ director. The ~~executive~~ director shall assume the responsibility for administering and enforcing this act and the code in that governmental subdivision, unless the county within which that governmental subdivision is located has submitted a notice of intent to continue to administer and enforce the code. However, that action shall not take effect until 12 months after the passage of an ordinance to that effect. A structure commenced under an effective code shall be completed under that code.

(8) The ~~executive~~ director is responsible for administration and enforcement of this act and the code for buildings and structures that are not under the responsibility of an enforcing agency in those governmental subdivisions that elect to administer and enforce this act and the code or another nationally recognized model code. A building or structure owned by the state shall not be erected, remodeled, or reconstructed in the state after December 30, 1980, ~~except school buildings or facilities or institutions of higher education as described in section 4 of article VIII of the state constitution of 1963,~~ until written approval of the plans and specifications has been obtained from the bureau of construction codes located within the department of ~~labor~~ CONSUMER AND INDUSTRY SERVICES indicating that the state owned facilities shall be designed and constructed in conformance with the ~~state construction~~ code. This subsection does not apply to any state owned facility for which construction commenced before December 30, 1980. The bureau of construction codes shall be the lead agency in the coordination and implementation of this subsection. The bureau of construction codes shall perform required plan reviews and inspections as required by the ~~state construction~~ code. Each department shall secure required plan approvals and permits from the bureau. Fees charged by the bureau for permits shall be in accordance with the commission's approved schedule of fees. State departments and institutions may allow local inspectors to inspect the construction of state owned facilities. However, an inspection conducted by a local inspector shall be of an advisory nature only.

(10) Pursuant to parts 215 and 217 of ~~Act No. 368 of the Public Acts of 1978, as amended, the directors of the department of labor, public health, and state police, or their designees,~~ THE PUBLIC HEALTH CODE, 1978 PA 368, MCL 333.21501 TO 333.21799E, THE DIRECTOR shall develop consistent construction standards for hospitals and nursing homes. These standards shall ensure that consistent, uniform, and equitable construction requirements and state supervision of the requirements are achieved and that unnecessary duplication is avoided. ~~The commission shall delegate plan review and approval of health facility construction plans to the department of health.~~ This subsection does not preclude a state agency or a governmental subdivision from conducting plan reviews or inspections necessary to ensure compliance with approved construction plans.

(11) Except as otherwise provided in this act, this act does not limit or restrict existing powers or authority of governmental subdivisions, and this act shall be enforced by governmental subdivisions in the manner prescribed by local law or ordinance. To the extent not inconsistent with this act, local laws and ordinances relating to administration and enforcement of construction regulations enacted before the effective date of the code by or for a governmental subdivision are applicable to administration and enforcement of the code in that governmental subdivision.".

House Resolution No. 208.

A resolution to commemorate the Michigan Lyme Disease Association.

Whereas, Since the founding of The Michigan Lyme Disease Association in 1991 to promote awareness and prevention through education of the public and health care professionals about Lyme Disease and other tick borne illnesses, the MLDA has established and maintained eight statewide support groups that hold monthly meetings that allow members to obtain practical information and guidance; and

Whereas, With the assistance of donations and public fundraising, the MLDA has accomplished ambitious goals since its founding, including two fully accredited conferences on Lyme Disease and other tick-borne illnesses, the mailing of thousands of Lyme Disease educational packets from calls received from the toll free telephone number at an average rate of 500 calls per month, and maintaining a billboard promoting education. The MLDA has been invited and has given Lyme Disease education talks to numerous organizations across the state including the Michigan Horse Commission, hunting shows, Michigan Trail Riders, Michigan Bow Hunters, Oakland County Sportsman Club, GM Local 160, Oakland County Road Commission, Dow Chemical, and many schools and local organizations. They have set up displays at various trade shows and have completed a year-long research study tracking the distribution of Lyme Disease in dogs throughout Southeastern Michigan; and

Whereas, Current MLDA projects include testing deer for Lyme Disease and other tick-borne illnesses, updating a statewide survey tracking Lyme Disease cases, and fundraising efforts to pay for materials, research, and miscellaneous expenses; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we hereby commemorate the Michigan Lyme Disease Association for their work in awareness of Lyme Disease and other tick-borne illnesses in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Lyme Disease Association as evidence of our highest esteem.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Raczkowski moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

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

House Resolution No. 209.

A resolution honoring Liz and Jack Falkenbury as they celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.

Whereas, It is a distinct honor to join with the family and friends of Liz and Jack Falkenbury of Royal Oak, Michigan, as they celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. As they gather to mark this milestone in their lives, it is most appropriate to commend them for their involvement in their community and the manner in which their strong relationship has enhanced our state and the lives of all fortunate enough to know these two fine people; and

Whereas, On November 5, 1999, the Falkenburys will recall the vows they spoke long ago. In the years that have followed they have been renewing these vows every day, not by words, but by the commitment they make in their deeds in coping with the challenges of life and the joys of this world. As the Falkenburys would quickly affirm, no marriage can reach the milestone of 50 years without this commitment and renewal; and

Whereas, Since they pledged their trust, respect, and affection in marriage, Liz and Jack Falkenbury have also witnessed changes in their own lives. Certainly the central point of their attention is their family, to whom they have given countless gifts. Among the most precious of these, given to friends, their 2 children, 4 grandchildren, and their entire family, is the example they have given of the rewards of a wonderful marriage. As they mark this day, may they also know that this example has enriched our entire state; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer our congratulations to Liz and Jack Falkenbury as they mark their 50th wedding anniversary. May they continue to grow closer to one another with each passing day; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Liz and Jack Falkenbury as evidence of our great respect for their 50 years of marriage.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

House Resolution No. 210.

A resolution recognizing October as National Lupus Awareness Month.

Whereas, The Lupus Foundation of America has declared the month of October as National Lupus Awareness Month; and

Whereas, The Lupus Foundation, a voluntary health organization, stands dedicated to improving the quality of life for Lupus patients through educating victims, families of victims, and the general public of the diseases ramifications, services available for patients, and of the need for research to find additional treatments and a cure; and

Whereas, Lupus is an often life-threatening, chronic disorder where the immune system forms antibodies that attack healthy tissues and organs, for which there is not a cure; and

Whereas, Lupus can be difficult to diagnose as the symptoms come and go and mimic many other illnesses; and

Whereas, Lupus is more prevalent than AIDS, sickle-cell anemia, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and cystic fibrosis combined; and

Whereas, Michigan is home to many citizens inflicted with this Lupus, including the second youngest child in the nation to be diagnosed; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body do hereby proclaim October as Michigan Lupus Awareness Month in conjunction with National Lupus Awareness Month; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Lupus Foundation as evidence of our esteem.

Reports of Standing Committees

The Committee on Veterans Affairs, by Rep. Richardville, Chair, reported

House Resolution No. 183.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress and the President of the United States to maintain our nation's commitment to military retirees to provide lifetime health care.

(For text of resolution, see House Journal No. 61, p. 1801.)

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

Substitute for House Resolution No. 183.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress and the President of the United States to maintain or improve our nation's commitment to military retirees to provide lifetime health care.

Whereas, The men and women who have devoted themselves to military service on behalf of their fellow citizens are entitled to receive the benefits promised them when they began their patriotic service. When these people signed up for the difficult and dangerous work of protecting our country and way of life, they were assured that the country would provide lifetime health care benefits; and

Whereas, This implied contract is not being fulfilled. Upon reaching the age of sixty-five, military retirees lose a significant portion of promised health care due to Medicare eligibility. This situation is made more severe by the fact that many military retirees do not live near military treatment facilities; and

Whereas, Military retirees have significantly less access to health care than other retired federal employees covered under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. This is especially true in light of inequities between coverages for pharmaceuticals; and

Whereas, There are proposals under consideration in Congress to rectify this problem and extend to military retirees the benefits they have earned and deserve. In addition, there are pilot projects operating that address the problem by allowing Medicare-eligible retirees to enroll in a program through the Department of Defense. Clearly, there are options available to provide military retirees the care to which they are entitled; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress and the President of the United States to maintain or improve our nation's commitment to military retirees to provide lifetime health care; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the President of the United States, 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 Speaker announced that under Rule 77 the resolution would lie over one day.

The Committee on Veterans Affairs, by Rep. Richardville, Chair, reported

House Resolution No. 205.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to assure that quality and access to health care for veterans are maintained.

(For text of resolution, see House Journal No. 71, p. 2013.)

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

Substitute for House Resolution No. 205.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to assure that quality and access to health care for veterans are maintained or improved.

Whereas, With the move to a balanced federal budget, many people are concerned over the impact of increasingly limited funds for vitally important services. An area of special concern is the health care provided to our veterans, especially through the facilities and programs of the Department of Veterans Affairs; and

Whereas, For those who served our country with sacrifice and valor in the Armed Forces, the VA health programs represent a fulfillment of a promise. The programs and facilities are literally a lifeline for many. This promise on the part of our nation--to care for our veterans in their times of need--cannot be forgotten or abandoned. The move to bring austerity and fiscal responsibility to government spending cannot override the needs of the veterans who now rely on us as we relied on them in our nation's times of need; and

Whereas, Funding to care for veterans who have suffered grave injuries must not be jeopardized. Veterans bedridden by injuries and dependent on VA health services have every right to the same level of dedication they gave to America in battles to preserve our way of life. To decrease our financial and emotional commitment to these patriots through inadequate care is wrong. Continuing cutbacks in funding and reductions in service and personal care represent a flawed approach to caring for men and women who have earned our lasting gratitude; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to assure that quality and access to health care for veterans are maintained or improved; 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.
