Pursuant to Joint Rule 20, the full title of the act shall be inserted to read as follows:

"An act to revise, consolidate, codify and add to the statutes relating to crimes; to define crimes and prescribe the penalties therefor; to provide for restitution under certain circumstances; to provide for the competency of evidence at the trial of persons accused of crime; to provide immunity from prosecution for certain witnesses appearing at such trials; and to repeal certain acts and parts of acts inconsistent with or contravening any of the provisions of this act,".

______

Rep. Drolet, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

This legislation is connected to a package of bills that will protect children from prostitution. Each of the other bills will provide harsher penalties for adults who engage in prostitution activity with minors. Excepting for this bill, this is a fine package of legislation and it will enhance the legal system's ability to protect some of our most vulnerable citizens. Unfortunately, this particular proposal is aimed only at adult offenders, rather than those who corrupt children. As such, it enhances an already flawed policy and drains resources away from the legitimate effort to counteract child prostitution.

Absent an explicit financial transaction, sex between consenting adults is not a felony and rarely rises to the level of misdemeanor. We don't incarcerate people for having sex. But, when a monetary agreement is added to the equation, Michigan law defines it as 'prostitution', and we prosecute the participants as criminals. Three offenses can lead to a felony conviction, and a prison sentence. This bill increases the penalties, and makes it easier to justify felony convictions. In effect, it would make prostitution a more serious crime, with more substantial consequences.

Reasonable people can differ about the legality of prostitution. Even within this nation, there are jurisdictions where it is legal and licensed by state governments. Absent draconian measures such as stoning the participants (a tactic preferred by our adversaries in the war on terrorism), a compassionate and civil society will never eradicate the practice of prostitution through legislation and criminal sanction. There are solid historical reasons why it is known as the world's oldest profession.

What reasonable people cannot differ on is the cost of prosecuting and incarcerating those who engage in these practices. Any dollar that we devote to this endeavor will detract from dollars that can be spent prosecuting drunk drivers, rapists, murderers, and various other violent and property criminals who injure clearly identifiable victims.

Regarding the present matter, stiffer sanctions for consenting adults who engage in prostitution activities will detract from resources that should be devoted toward stiffer sanctions on adults who engage children in the act of prostitution. A single prison bunk can hold only one offender, and we should set our priorities accordingly.

I strongly support and will enthusiastically endorse the rest of the bills in this package and will vote in the affirmative. Unfortunately, though doubtlessly well-intentioned, this particular bill undercuts the spirit of the rest, and should be defeated."

In The Chair: Julian

The House agreed to the title of the joint resolution.

______

Reps. Waters, Garza, Reeves, Hardman and Thomas, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted 'no' on SJR T, because I am opposed to the expanded investment opportunities allowed under the bill. In the last year, the Public Employees Retirement fund lost 11.5 percent of its value due to poor investment strategies and a slumping economy. The passage of SJR T would allow the state to invest the Natural Resources Trust Fund in the same manner. I am not willing to let funds that support our natural resources and outdoor recreation opportunities be put at risk."

Rep. Jacobs, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on the passage of Senate Joint Resolution T because I do not feel that this is the proper time to allow the State Treasurer to invest public trust funds in riskier investments. Last year, the state's public employee pension fund lost 11.5% of its value because of poor investment choices by the Department of Treasury. Passage of Senate Joint Resolution T will allow the Department to make the same type of decisions with the assets of the Natural Resources

Trust Fund, the State Parks Endowment Fund, and the Veterans Trust Fund. I am not convinced that the potential benefits of riskier investments outweigh the possibility of losing public dollars. As public officials, we should take our fiduciary duties seriously. I fear that these bills are being moved quickly in an election year without sufficient oversight."

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Vander Veen, Mortimer, Van Woerkom, Birkholz, Toy, Schauer, Newell, Garza, DeWeese, Ehardt and Murphy offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 333.

A resolution to urge the Department of Community Health to create a blue ribbon panel to determine best practice protocols for the treatment of chronic diseases.

Whereas, A major portion of public and private resources directed to health care in this country is used to deal with chronic illnesses. These diseases, including asthma, diabetes, kidney disease, obesity, and a variety of cardiac conditions, are often subject to extensive research and emerging strategies using new technologies and treatments. As a result, a patient many receive far different treatment at one hospital or medical office than is available or is standard practice at another facility only a short distance away; and

Whereas, Inefficient disease management for the treatment of chronic conditions is very expensive for individuals and the entire network of health care. An effective strategy for reducing costs and maximizing care is following best practice protocols. These treatment protocols are developed through the involvement of all of the health care professions and researchers. The ultimate result is determining and using the practices that bring the best results. Best practice protocols generally incorporate not only studies of medications and clinical treatments, but also methods of ensuring the highest levels of patient compliance; and

Whereas, The concept of encouraging widespread use of best practice protocols is proving to be quite successful in many health care institutions across the country. This approach includes a significant measure of education. Encouraging best practice protocols can bring much quicker use of new advances in areas of care in which remarkable strides are being made. In Michigan, Muskegon's Mercy Hospital is among those that are achieving notable success; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Department of Community Health to create a blue ribbon panel to determine best practice protocols for the treatment of chronic diseases. We urge that the panel include members from the Michigan Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Department of Community Health.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Health Policy.

Reps. Kowall, Howell, Raczkowski, Julian, Richner, Zelenko, Spade, Murphy, Dennis, Lemmons, DeWeese, Stewart, Vander Roest, Wojno, Lipsey, Rivet, Switalski, Sheltrown, Anderson, Adamini, Jamnick, Newell, Phillips, Gieleghem, Thomas, Gosselin, Faunce, Ehardt, Voorhees, Cassis, Richardville, Jacobs, Mead, Vear, Vander Veen, Drolet, Van Woerkom, Shulman, Hager, Pappageorge, Lockwood, Hansen, Kuipers, Koetje, LaSata, Rich Brown, Jansen, Clarke, Caul, Woodward, DeRossett and Birkholz offered the following resolution:

Whereas, In recognition as a distinguished finalist, Gary will receive an engraved bronze medallion for his generous efforts. Students like Gary represent the best of America's youth and are role models to their peers and communities; and

Whereas, Gary earned this award by giving generously of his time and energy to help design and build a wheelchair ramp for a wheelchair-bound adult; and

Whereas, The success of the state of Michigan, the strength of our communities, and the overall vitality of American society depends, in great measure, upon the dedication of its young people like Gary Lawson who use their considerable talents and resources to serve others; now, therefore, be it
