I pray that You give them wisdom and strength to do their task. I also pray that You give them hearts of compassion for those who are less fortunate. Father, may they look to the future for those laws that they make and may they carry us for years down the road. May You guide them and protect them in this endeavor. I pray in Christ's name. Amen."

The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 110.
A resolution honoring the 2000-2001 Michigan State University Spartans Men's Basketball team.
Whereas, It is a pleasure to join with their families, the entire school, and all of the State of Michigan in celebrating the achievements of the 2000-2001 Michigan State Spartans Men's Basketball team on its wonderful success over the season. With the incredible 28-5 record this squad attained, which has culminated in a fourth consecutive Big Ten Conference championship and a third consecutive NCAA Final Four appearance, this group of disciplined student-athletes has generated great pride throughout our state; and
Whereas, Much to the delight of their loyal fans, head coach Tom Izzo and the Spartans have also earned the respect of college basketball followers everywhere in America through their talent, teamwork, and determination. Tom Izzo has created a nationally respected basketball program that is often referred to as part of his family. This year's senior class, comprised of Andre Hutson, David Thomas, Charlie Bell, Mike Chappell, and Brandon Smith, led the green and white squad to a 115-25 four year record breaking the Big Ten Conference mark of victories by a senior class; and
Whereas, Winning titles or compiling outstanding seasons is never a fluke. While anything can happen in a single game, all teams show their true abilities and dedication over a long season or a difficult tournament. This year's Spartan hoops squad had to overcome many barriers. Coach Tom Izzo shouldered this challenge and proved that his program is united in purpose and determined to maintain excellence. We admire the efforts, team spirit, and preparation of these talented young men; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honoring the players and coaches of the 2000-2001 Michigan State Spartans Men's Basketball Team upon the occasion of its outstanding season; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the 2000-2001 Michigan State Spartans Men's Basketball team as a token of our esteem.
Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,
Rep. Patterson 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.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 111.
A resolution honoring the 2000-2001 Michigan State University Spartans Men's Ice Hockey team.
Whereas, It is a pleasure to join with their families, the entire school, and all of the state of Michigan in celebrating the achievements of the 2000-2001 Michigan State Spartans Ice Hockey team on another successful season. With the fine record this squad attained, which has culminated in a CCHA championship and its 10th NCAA Frozen Four appearance, this group of disciplined student-athletes has generated great pride throughout our entire state; and
Whereas, Head Coach Ron Mason, college hockey's most winning coach with 897 victories, and the Spartans have also earned the respect of hockey fans everywhere in America through their talent, teamwork, and determination. The Spartan icers strung together an unbeaten streak of 23 games this year. As opponents have found out all season long, this is a team that brings unity and discipline to all levels of competition. Coach Mason and his senior leaders occupied the number one ranking in national polls for most of the campaign and completed yet another outstanding tally of 33 wins, 5 defeats, and 4 ties; and
Whereas, Winning titles or compiling outstanding seasons is never a fluke. Ron Mason has long been the architect of a hockey dynasty in East Lansing and his ability to bring exceptional student scholars to Michigan State University is unparalleled. Coach Mason brings out the best in his team year after year and his hockey triumphs are legendary. We admire the efforts, team spirit, and preparation of Ron Mason and these talented young men; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor the players and coaches of the 2000-2001 Michigan State Spartans Men's Ice Hockey team upon the occasion of its outstanding season; and be it further

House Resolution No. 112.
A resolution commending Michigan native Ryan Miller on being the recipient of the 2001 Hobey Baker Award.
Whereas, Michigan State sophomore goaltender and Michigan native Ryan Miller is the distinguished recipient of the 2001 NCAA Hobey Baker Award, recognizing him as the collegiate most valuable player. We call upon the all the citizens of Michigan to congratulate him; and
Whereas, Miller helped lead the exceptional MSU Spartan hockey team to a 33-5-4 record overall and a trip to the NCAA Frozen Four; and
Whereas, Miller earned All-American honors after leading the nation in four key categories with 31 wins, a .950 save percentage, a 1.31 goals against average, and a remarkable 10 shutouts, which raised his career total to 18; and
Whereas, With Miller as goalie and the Michigan State Spartans focused on defense, MSU attained the No. 1 ranking in the nation in November and kept it throughout the rest of the entire regular season; and
Whereas, During a six-game stretch in January, Miller posted five shutouts while making 165 saves and allowing just one goal in the other game; and
Whereas, Miller, who in just two years as a Spartan, broke the NCAA record for career shutouts, a mark that had stood for 70 years; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commend Ryan Miller as he celebrates his earning the 2001 NCAA Hobey Baker Award; and it be further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Ryan Miller as evidence of our support for his efforts on behalf of Michigan State University and the entire state of Michigan.

House Resolution No. 113.
A resolution to memorialize the President and the Congress of the United States to increase efforts to address the issue of global warming and to implement policies to reduce greenhouse gases.
Whereas, In recent years, the weight of data on global warming has made it clear that human activity is contributing to global warming. The damage this is causing to the delicate balance of the environment is also becoming better understood with each passing year; and
Whereas, The specter of unchecked global warming offers a future with serious threats to agriculture, health, and commerce. Higher temperatures will raise rates of respiratory problems, and rising sea levels will harm many infrastructures and threaten water quality; and
Whereas, The growing awareness of the global warming situation and the need to curtail greenhouse gases has extended far beyond the scientific or the academic communities. The National League of Cities recently addressed Congress seeking programs to reduce domestic sources of greenhouse gas emissions; and
Whereas, There are many steps that can be taken to reduce harmful emissions. Many of these steps, especially those promoting energy conservation, also present a reasonable, immediate, and productive response to rapidly rising costs of fuels. The development of policies to reduce greenhouse gases ought to be a priority. We must not let short-term concerns prevent us from pursuing policies that are clearly in our nation's best long-term interests; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the President and the Congress of the United States to increase efforts to address the issue of global warming and to implement policies to reduce greenhouse gases; 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 Land Use and Environment.
Reps. Hardman, Lemmons, Bernero, Bovin, Kolb, Adamini, Thomas, Spade, Hansen, Schauer, Waters, Wojno, Kilpatrick, Schermesser, Zelenko, Reeves, Garza, Hale, Basham, Dennis, Rich Brown, Lipsey, Lockwood, Murphy, Whitmer, Neumann, Meyer, Frank, Caul, Bogardus, Anderson, Minore, Stewart, Plakas and Clarke offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 114.
A resolution to urge the Governor to keep the funding for the summer school program as proposed in the State of the State address.
Whereas, The citizens of this state are strongly committed to education. As a means of carrying out the mission of educating our children, especially low-achieving students in need of extra instruction, the Governor and the Michigan Legislature put in place a program to provide for summer school for students in grades one through four; and
Whereas, The program to provide substantial funding for summer school for low-achieving lower elementary students was proposed by the Governor as a key element of the state's educational efforts; and
Whereas, The economic slowdown that is reducing revenues to the state has led the administration to propose eliminating the summer school program to save the $38 million promised to the state's public schools for this year. The announcement that the money may not be allocated comes just as districts are finalizing plans for the programs, which will commence in a few weeks; and
Whereas, Educators from across the state and family members of students in need of the summer program to help them attain success in classroom basics have expressed their great disappointment in the plan to halt the program. This is an especially difficult blow to districts that had ambitious plans to assist large numbers of students. It is a disservice to our young people and the future of this state to make promises for educational programs and proclaim their vital importance and then remove support as the first move to deal with a possible budget slowdown; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Governor to keep the funding for the summer school program as proposed in the State of the State address; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Education.
Reps. Sanborn, Bernero, Bovin, Kolb, Adamini, Thomas, Spade, Hansen, Schauer, Waters, Wojno, Kilpatrick, Richner, Schermesser, Richardville, Zelenko, Reeves, Hale, Lemmons, Sheltrown, Dennis, Cassis, Rich Brown, Lipsey, Raczkowski, LaSata, Julian, Vander Roest, Lockwood, Hardman, Murphy, Whitmer, Neumann, Koetje, Hager, Gosselin, Bradstreet, Meyer, Van Woerkom, Bishop, Voorhees, Kuipers, Frank, Ehardt, Kowall, Mead, Caul, Faunce, Anderson, Minore, Birkholz, Tabor, Plakas, Clarke, Pappageorge, Shulman and Vear offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 115.
A resolution congratulating MSU seniors Charlie Bell, Andre Hutson, and David Thomas.
Whereas, We are proud to join with teammates, coaches, classmates, and community members in congratulating Charlie Bell, Andre Hutson, and David Thomas for becoming the all-time winning seniors in Big Ten Men's Basketball history with a victory over Penn State on February 24, 2001. The victory marked the 109th of their careers, which beats the mark of 108 held by Indiana University. The excellence shown on the hardwood by these talented and hardworking
student-athletes provides an outstanding example of the rewards gained when athletics are combined effectively with classroom learning; and
Whereas, As fierce competitors and dedicated team players, Charlie Bell, Andre Hutson, and David Thomas brought more than hard work, skill, and readiness to each performance. Their energy and will to win each game is every bit as impressive as their ability to play the game; and
Whereas, Charlie, Andre, and David's seasons were highlighted with many achievements, including four Big Ten Championships, four NCAA Tournament appearances, four Sweet Sixteen appearances, three Final Four appearances, two Big Ten Tournament Championships, and one National Championship. These strong senior leaders continuously demonstrated their strong leadership skills. Their poise under the pressure of intense competition served as an example to all their teammates and supporters at MSU of what true dedication can accomplish; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body congratulate MSU seniors Charlie Bell, Andre Hutson, and David Thomas for their outstanding accomplishments as student-athletes. May their determination grow stronger each day and positively influence every endeavor in the many years ahead; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Charlie Bell, Andre Hutson, and David Thomas as a token of our esteem.
Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,
Rep. Patterson 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.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
