Rep. Dave Robertson, from the 51st District, offered the following invocation:

"Lord God, Father of all mankind,

You have appointed us, through the votes of the people of Michigan, to serve You and our state as leaders and as lawmakers for our people. Guide our hearts, our minds, and our hands as we go about our duties today so that we deal with the problems that our state faces with wisdom and mutual respect. Give us the ability to see the larger picture in all of our deliberations and actions, and guide us to long-term solutions to those things that bring crisis into the lives of so many of our citizens. May the work that we do here today and everyday help our people and serve to glorify You.

Heavenly Father, we also ask for Your comfort for the family of Marine Lance Corporal Brandon Webb of Swartz Creek who was killed last Tuesday in Iraq in the fight against terrorism, and for all the families of those who have died in this war against barbarism and oppression. Protect from harm those who are fighting to protect us, and also all those men and women of our nation's armed forces who are stationed around the world to help keep the peace in a dangerous and deadly world. As we prepare next week to celebrate the birth of our great nation and the freedom that we enjoy as Americans, keep us ever mindful that freedom is not free. Freedom is purchased with the blood of young men and women who lay down their lives so that we can live our lives in peace and safety. May we as legislators never abuse our positions by trampling on the freedoms of our people that were purchased at such a dear price by others.

We ask these and all Your blessings in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son and our Savior. Amen."

Rep. Kathleen Law, 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 House Bill 4264, 6247 and SB1296 because separate but equal has been proven time and again to result in discrimination. Single-sex schools would be inherently unequal, and thus unconstitutional.

Title IX currently permits select single-sex classes in physical education or to remedy past discrimination for example; it doesn't allow schools to segregate students arbitrarily. What is needed is a thoughtful examination of the diverse single-sex schools that already exist, to see what works and what doesn't before ushering in single sex schools. To improve performance, schools should focus more on academics, discipline, smaller classes, more parental involvement and better teacher training, rather than splitting up boys and girls.

Additionally, without the opposite sex, students are denied a learning environment representative of real life. This deprives them of the opportunity to develop skills for interaction with peers regardless of gender in their work environment and fosters ignorance and prejudice towards the other gender.

Supporters point to the successes of single-sex private schools when justifying the move for single sex public schools; but many educators attribute much of the academic successes of these private schools to their smaller class sizes, engaged parents, well-trained teachers, and strong academic emphasis.

It is for these reasons that I voted NO on House Bill 4264, 6247 and SB1296."

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Miller, Accavitti, Adamini, Anderson, Ball, Bennett, Bieda, Booher, Brandenburg, Brown, Byrnes, Byrum, Clack, Clemente, Espinoza, Farrah, Gillard, Gleason, Gonzales, Green, Hopgood, Kathleen Law, Leland, Lemmons, III, Lemmons, Jr., Lipsey, Mayes, McDowell, Meisner, Plakas, Polidori, Sak, Alma Smith, Spade, Tobocman, Vagnozzi, Vander Veen, Waters, Wojno and Zelenko offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 284.

A resolution recognizing the week of October 1 through October 7, 2006, as Inflammatory Breast Cancer Awareness Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Many of Michigan's citizens have been diagnosed and suffer from inflammatory breast cancer and deserve designated calendar days to raise awareness about the condition, as well as a chance to connect with others inflicted with the disease; and

Whereas, Few women or men who have been diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer are properly educated about the disease. Countless individuals are mis-diagnosed and because of the disease's aggressiveness and the survival rate at about 40%, approximately 5 years, time is of great importance; and

Whereas, Inflammatory breast cancer is a completely different condition from traditional breast cancer due to its extremely different forms of treatment, symptoms, and function within the body. Inflammatory breast cancer is the most aggressive form of breast cancer, as well as the deadliest; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize the week of October1 through October 7, 2006 as Inflammatory Breast Cancer Awareness Week in the state of Michigan. We encourage all citizens to recognize the many individuals inflicted with this disease and aid in promoting state-wide awareness and education regarding the realities associated with inflammatory breast cancer.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Ward 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.

Reps. Sheltrown, Plakas, Cushingberry, Vagnozzi, Lemmons, Jr., Bennett, Miller, Spade, Polidori, Gonzales, Donigan, Leland, Farrah, Kathleen Law, Brown, Adamini, McDowell, Sak, Mayes, Anderson, Gillard, Lemmons, III, Accavitti, Ball, Booher, Brandenburg, Byrnes, Byrum, Clack, Clemente, Espinoza, Gleason, Green, Hopgood, Lipsey, Meisner, Alma Smith, Tobocman, Vander Veen, Waters, Wojno and Zelenko offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 285.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to divert excess oil company profits to provide incentives for the development of biodiesel and ethanol production facilities and to encourage the use of these fuels in diesel fuel vehicles and flexible fuel vehicles.

Whereas, High gasoline prices will impact all sectors of Michigan's economy. Recently, the price of regular gasoline has approached, and in certain regions of the state exceeded, $3.00 per gallon. This price is substantially higher than the price of gasoline sold at this time last year. These extreme gasoline prices disproportionately impact Michigan's manufacturing, agriculture, and tourism sectors, which are highly dependent on fuels and negatively affected by soaring fuel costs; and

Whereas, Oil companies reported record increases in their 2005 profits compared to a year earlier. In particular, ExxonMobil reported $36.1 billion in 2005 profits, or 43 percent higher than the previous year, making it the world's largest corporation. Royal Dutch Shell's 2005 profits reached $23 billion, exceeding its 2004 earnings by nearly a third. Exceptional profits were also reported by Chevron, British Petroleum, and Conoco Philips, the other major international oil companies; and

Whereas, It is becoming increasingly apparent that alternative fuels must be a critical component of the state and the nation's energy supply. Access to the world supply of crude oil is very precarious, and gasoline and diesel fuel prices are reaching new highs; and

Whereas, Biodiesel and ethanol are renewable alternative fuels produced in the United States primarily from soybean and corn crops, which are both prominent crops in Michigan's agricultural sector. Advancing the development of biodiesel and ethanol by using excess oil company profits will help the United States meet its energy needs, lessen our dependence on foreign oil supplies, and reduce tail pipe emissions that have the potential to harm human health and the environment; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to divert excess oil company profits to provide incentives for the development of biodiesel and ethanol production facilities and to encourage the use of these fuels in diesel fuel vehicles and flexible fuel vehicles; 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 Government Operations.
