Rep. Fred Durhal Jr., from the 6th District, offered the following invocation:
“Precious Lord, bless us today as we come to set policy, pass laws and to do God’s will for the people of the state of Michigan. For the 10 million people of this state, we represent their hopes and their dreams. We also represent the law that abides and rules this state. Lord, we know we operate in sublimation to You, because You are the imperial law, You are the imperial lawmaker. As we move forward today, let us keep in mind all those who have given their lives for this great country of ours, in particularly those who lived in the state of Michigan. Our hearts go out to their families. Also Lord, we will ask that You would bless the members of this legislature, past and present, those who have sacrificed and given all, to serve the people of this state. We furthermore ask Lord, that when we leave this place today, that You be with us, walking with us, along side of us, being co-pilot, to make very sure we arrive wherever we intend to go, safely and without harm or danger. We ask for You to continue to bless us as we try to deliberate over the toughest problems this state has ever had to deal with. Finally Lord, we will ask, as we continue to work as legislators, that You will put the sunshine back in our lives and the softness and kindness and gentleness into our hearts so that we may perform our duties, our constitutional duties, and our private and personal duties, in a way that would bring glory to Your name. We ask this in Jesus’ holy name, Amen.”

Rep. Miller, 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 tax credit package will cost the people of Michigan $25 million a year for the next four years. Advanced battery technology may well be the future of Michigan’s economy but in my judgment there are more urgent priorities that $100 million could be put towards in a state with so many needs. Spooning out multi million dollar tax credits to huge corporations has not been proven to create jobs. Investing in education is a better use of this money.”

Rep. Amash, 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:
Proponents of HBs 6038 and 6226 have not persuaded me that the penalties imposed under these bills are commensurate with the harm committed.

It does not make sense, however, to impose lengthy prison sentences on individuals engaged in non-violent activities while the State of Michigan continues to release individuals imprisoned for violent offenses in an effort to save money.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Robert Jones, Constan, Geiss, Knollenberg, Liss, Lori, Pearce, Scripps, Smith, Valentine and Warren offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 307.
A resolution to decry the atrocities taking place in Darfur and to urge the President and Congress to take all steps possible to alleviate the suffering and bring about a lasting political settlement in the region.
Whereas, Since 2003, The Darfur region of Sudan and has been embroiled in armed, tumultuous, divisive, and deadly conflict among Sudanese government armed forces, allied militia known as the Janjaweed, and rebel Sudanese groups known as the Sudanese Liberation Army/Movement and the Justice and Equality Movement; and
Whereas, The rebel Sudanese Liberation Army and the Justice and Equality Movement challenged the Sudanese government about oppression of non-Arabs, decades of neglect, and the underdevelopment and political marginalization of the region, and the Sudanese government’s armed forces and the Janjaweed forces, largely composed of Arab nomadic fighters, responded by targeting and torturing civilian, largely African non-Arab Darfurian populations. The Janjaweed paramilitary forces have systematically starved civilians; raped, sexually assaulted, and branded women and girls; murdered men, women, and children; looted, razed, and burned houses, crops, and villages to the ground; and launched massive aerial bombardments and ground assaults; and
Whereas, More than 400,000 Darfurian people have been killed; more than 2.5 million innocent persons have been forced to flee their homes and relocate in Chad and other neighboring areas; and more than 4 million men, women, and children have received and relied on international aid for survival. The defenseless people who have remained in Darfur face huge shortages of safefood, water, and medicines; infectious diseases; substandard sanitation and nutrition; and eventual displacement or death; and
Whereas, Since 1916, when Sudan became a British Colony, and 1956, when Sudan gained independence from the United Kingdom, Darfur’s history has included civil strife, religious conflict, environmental calamity, political exploitation, deadly famine, and civilian attacks during decades of conflict and economic neglect and marginalization; and
Whereas, The Darfurian people lack the resources to resolve the country’s internal conflicts. The African Union has a peace force of 7,000 in Darfur who are unpaid, under trained, outnumbered, and inadequately equipped to protect Darfurians; and
Whereas, The displacement of Darfurians to Chad has resulted in refugee camps for thousands who have fled Darfur and also require stability and security from an international force; and
Whereas, Darfur is now facing its worst humanitarian crisis since 1988. This continuing violent conflict is one of the worst crises in the world, and the extraordinary escalating strife and violence in Darfur is a global issue, and not just an African problem. A political settlement being essential to resolve this terrible situation and halt the genocide, there is an urgent need for international involvement and the leadership of the Untied States; now therefore be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we decry the atrocities taking place in Darfur and urge the President and Congress to take all steps possible to alleviate the suffering and bring about a lasting political settlement in the region. We also urge educational institutions, corporations, community and civic organizations, churches, the media, and others to work to end the human rights abuses in Darfur; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the office of the President of the United States, 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.
