"Heavenly Father, in Your word You say that You are the one who institutes authority and raises up leaders. Lord, thank You for choosing us for the position that we hold here today right now. What an awesome responsibility. What an awesome honor. Lord, we invite You to be with us today. You are more powerful than all the forces of nature combined and yet You choose to hear the prayer of a child. You make all the rules, Lord, but You choose to love us unconditionally. In light of Your choices, God, today I ask that You would help us to choose wisely, to represent Your values and to be the people that You want us to be. Again, thank You for the privilege of this position. Let us choose to live it wisely for Your glory. Amen."

Rep. Bieda, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted against this bill because I support the version reported out of the Senate, SB 397, which provides a common sense balance of fiscal responsibility and voter participation."

Rep. Condino, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I've voted no on the committee amendment to HB4602, as it appears to me that this amendment violates a political party's First Amendment Right of Association as set forth by the United States Supreme Court in California Democratic Party v. Jones, 530 U.S. 567,2000. In that case Justice Scalia found that NONE of the arguments proffered by the State constituted a compelling State Interest which justified intrusion into any political party's associational rights. The same holds true with the amendment before me today!"

House Resolution No. 54.

A resolution to urge the United States Department of Homeland Security to establish its Midwestern headquarters in Detroit.

Whereas, In response to the nightmare of September 11^th and other attempts to disrupt our way of life, our nation is making significant moves to increase the safety of our citizens, resources, and infrastructure. Much of this work is taking place through the newly created United States Department of Homeland Security; and

Whereas, A pending step in the effort to buoy up our homeland defenses against terrorism and to ensure we are fully prepared to cope with any type of attack is determining the location of regional headquarters for the United States Department of Homeland Security. In this search, Detroit is well positioned in many ways to fill this role; and

Whereas, As the largest city in the Midwest along our Canadian border and the home of two of the busiest ports of entry in the entire country, Detroit has already been deeply involved in homeland security work for many years. This city's experience in this vital work at the Ambassador Bridge, at the Windsor Tunnel, along the Detroit River, and at Metro Airport provide an excellent example of the its familiarity with the challenges before the country. This commitment is further illustrated by the city's willingness to fulfill the role of hosting the regional headquarters for the United States Department of Homeland Security; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the United States Department of Homeland Security to establish its Midwestern headquarters in Detroit; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security, 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 Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security.

Reps. Emmons, Acciavatti, Bradstreet, Brandenburg, Casperson, Caswell, DeRoche, Drolet, Farhat, Gaffney, Hager, Hummel, Hune, Julian, Koetje, LaJoy, Meyer, Middaugh, Milosch, Newell, Pastor, Rocca, Shaffer, Sheen, Stakoe, Stallworth, Taub and Voorhees offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 15.

A concurrent resolution to urge the Granholm administration to seek a review by Writ of Certiorari of the ruling of the United States Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals that effectively enjoins state welfare recipient drug-testing requirements.

Whereas, In 1999, Public Act Nos. 9 and 17 were enacted to put in place a drug-testing program for welfare recipients. These acts permit the Family Independence Agency (FIA) to require substance abuse testing as a condition for eligibility for assistance; and

Whereas, The goal of this drug testing is to help applicants and recipients for FIA assistance become independent of drugs and welfare. Employers, as proponents of testing noted, are increasingly willing to test applicants for drug use to screen out employees more likely to fail to show up, suffer accidents, fail to be productive, and otherwise cost employers far more than drug-free employees. It is clearly in the interests of the state and taxpayers to carry out policies designed to get people off of illegal drugs, into jobs, and protect dependent children of FIP applicants and recipients from abuse and neglect. The benefits to those without jobs who abuse drugs should be obvious; and

Whereas, Despite the clear benefits of this approach to ending drug and welfare dependence, and protecting families, this law has been challenged from the start. In November 1999, the FIA drug-testing program was halted by a temporary restraining order, and a preliminary injunction in September 2000 was issued by the United States District Court. The program was challenged by the ACLU, which argued that the law violates the constitutional rights of welfare recipients. Although the preliminary injunction was stayed by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, a divided full court failed to come to a decision on the case in April 2003. The result is that drug testing under the 1999 legislation continues to be enjoined. The Granholm administration should seek review of this decision by the United States Supreme Court in order to support the Legislature's action to promote independent and drug-free lives; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we urge the Granholm administration to seek a review by Writ of Certiorari of the ruling of the United States Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals that effectively enjoins state welfare recipient drug-testing requirements; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor of the State of Michigan.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
