Also heavenly Father, we pray that You will bless and watch over our families. Give them the reassurance that we are here to serve the people, and by doing so, are serving You.

Rep. Jamnick, 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 have voted no on this bill because it constitutes 'privatization' of the 12 month arrearages of child support payments with no discussion of a proper bidding process and no discussion of how to pay the cost of the collection services. Generally collection agencies charge on average 30% of the amount being collected. Having been a single mother, I have first hand knowledge of what this loss of monies will mean in the care of a child, let alone children should there be more than one child involved."
Rep. Spade, 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 bill is a poor attempt to address many concerns and issues that relate to the fundamental principle of parents being responsible for the financial needs of their children. Ideally, parents should want to ensure that the basic needs of their children are met. Unfortunately in Michigan there are over a million children who are owed back child support by their parents. These parents have failed to provide for their children for many reasons including but not limited to unemployment, illness, misplaced anger towards the custodial parent and just plain apathy. When child support is paid, parents and the Legislature expect that that payment would reach the child expeditiously and intact without any deductions taken from the support.
This bill does not address one of the best ways to improve the overburdened system, more staff. This bill may also jeopardize funding to the Friends of the Court and adversely impact their federal incentive award. Finally, this bill would allow the Family Independence Agency to contract out and privatize child support collections to various collection agencies. There has been no evidence to substantiate that they would do a better job than the current Friend of the Court employees. In fact, it may result in the loss of child support dollars to the very children who need the money."
Rep. Minore, 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:

When child support is paid, parents and the Legislature expect that that payment would reach the child expeditiously and intact without any deductions taken from the support.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. There are many reports of numerous problems with the Friends of the Court throughout the entire state. There are problems with scheduling hearings, problems with insensitive caseworkers, problems with delayed payments, problems with numerous pending paternity claims and so on. This is not to say that the employees of the Friend of the Court are not doing a great job. They are doing their best under the current conditions. This bill does not address one of the best ways to improve the overburdened system, more staff. This bill may also jeopardize funding to the Friends of the Court and adversely impact their federal incentive award. Finally, this bill would allow the Family Independence Agency to contract out and privatize child support collections to various collection agencies. There has been no evidence to substantiate that they would do a better job than the current Friend of the Court employees. In fact, it may result in the loss of child support dollars to the very children who need the money. Finally, given the record of this administration on 'no-bid' contracts, this proposal has all the signs of yet another boondoggle."

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
The question being on the passage of the bill,
Rep. Patterson moved that consideration of the bill be postponed temporarily.

Rep. Callahan, 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:
I voted against Senate Bill 1101 today because the bill before us today has a point of difference on almost every line item in this budget. By passing this bill today, we are taking away our rights as members of this chamber to work toward a bill that takes into account the economic reality of our state right now. This bill does nothing to address the deficits facing this budget in the current year or in FY 2003 and leaves the tough funding decisions to only six members--taking it out of the hands of all 146 members that represent the people of this state. It is our job as elected officials to stay here until we finish the job we were elected to do."

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Ruth Johnson, Birkholz, Kolb, Raczkowski, Shulman, Pappageorge, Toy, Bishop and Lemmons offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 456.
A resolution to urge the Department of Environmental Quality to take certain actions to address the issue of the disposal of used electronic equipment and materials.
Whereas, Electronic waste, specifically the cathode ray tubes in televisions and computer monitors, is a new and significant waste product stemming from our increasingly technology-based society; and
Whereas, Hazardous components within electronics equipment often contain toxic materials, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, which, if released into the environment, can have a harmful effect on our natural resources. This is a national concern that is shared by the people of Michigan; and
Whereas, Electronics manufacturers and trade associations have acknowledged this concern and are working on design changes, supporting pilot collection programs, and participating in state and national dialog; and
Whereas, Some Michigan communities have taken responsibility for recycling electronic waste that would otherwise go to municipal solid waste landfills and incinerators at costs that will only increase; and
Whereas, The adequacy of the infrastructure and capacity for handling electronic waste in an environmentally responsible manner is unknown; and
Whereas, Part 145 of 1994 PA 451, the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, charges the Department of Environmental Quality with responsibility for facilitating pollution prevention activities, including recycling; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Department of Environmental Quality to conduct an assessment of the unregulated electronic waste stream generated in Michigan and of the state's capacity for managing this waste. We ask that this assessment be completed by December 1, 2003; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge the Department of Environmental Quality to establish an electronics recycling strategy that adequately and effectively addresses electronic waste generated in this state by focusing on the reuse and recycling of these materials. We urge that this strategy include public awareness initiatives to inform the public of the hazards of electronic waste; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Department of Environmental Quality.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Land Use and Environment.

House Resolution No. 457.
A resolution honoring Richard Strowger upon his retirement as Executive Director for the Detroit Historical Society.
Whereas, It is with deep appreciation for the hard work, dedication, and professionalism that Richard Strowger has put forth on behalf of the Detroit Historical Society, that we offer this expression of our thanks and best wishes in his retirement. As the people of the Detroit Historical Society recognize the loyalty and devotion of this conscientious individual, we add our sentiments of gratitude for a job well done; and
Whereas, In the course of Mr. Strowger's long and productive service as Executive Director for the Detroit Historical Society, he contributed to the growth and the reputation of this institution. This growth included the expansion of the Detroit Historical Museum in the Cultural Center Area. In addition, Mr. Strowger was instrumental in the development of the Bank One Plaza, which creates a unique landmark that ties the museum to the rest of the cultural center; and
Whereas, Mr. Strowger's personal senses of dedication, integrity, and creativity have proven invaluable in developing the Detroit Historical Museum into a world-class museum. His superiors and colleagues alike depended upon his consistency in meeting each task with a positive attitude. There can be little doubt that the record of Richard Strowger will continue to reap rewards for the Detroit Historical Society. We offer our thanks on this personal milestone; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Richard Strowger upon his retirement as Executive Director for the Detroit Historical Society. May he enjoy the happiest of retirements; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Richard Strowger 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.

House Resolution No. 458.
A resolution commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Capital Area Center for Independent Living (CACIL) and expressing appreciation for their valuable contributions to Michigan.
Whereas, We are proud to join with the members, officers, and friends of CACIL as they gather to mark the 25th anniversary of this outstanding group. This milestone is a reflection of their unselfishness and commitment to the common good that is most commendable. While the members of this distinguished organization celebrate 25 years of service, we offer our thanks for the gifts they have shared within the Lansing area and throughout Michigan; and
Whereas, CACIL can trace its origins back to 1977 and the aspirations of its founders. In the years that have followed since they first came together, this organization has continued in its mission to serve those with disabilities. Equipped with the belief that all people should have a choice and control over their daily lives, CACIL provides members of the disabled community with advocacy, peer support, independent living skills, rehabilitation nursing and counseling, case management for transitions, and accessibility consultation; and
Whereas, With ceremonies to celebrate its history, the members and officers of the CACIL remember the visions of many people and the years of commitment that have brought the group to this point. Fittingly, as they look to the past, they will also be casting an eye to the future and to the many ways in which the CACIL will continue to reach out in our state with programs like the Camelot Awards or the Living Well with a Disability; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the 25th anniversary of Capital Area Center for Independent Living (CACIL) and express appreciation for their valuable contributions to Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Capital Area Center for Independent Living as evidence of our esteem.
