Rep. Jim Stamas, from the 98th District, offered the following invocation:

“Dear Lord, we just come to You this day and thank You for Your grace. We thank You for being in our lives, and we thank You for the opportunity to serve You.

Dear Lord, there are so many things that we face each day, as an individual, as a community, as a state and a nation and a world, and we ask that we draw upon You, Lord. We ask for Your guidance, we ask for Your grace. We ask that You look over, protect and be with those we have put in harm’s way. We ask that You look over and protect those who have given the ultimate sacrifice, Lord. We ask that You continue to be in our lives, to continue to grow with us and to make us the best and remain in Your image, Lord. We ask this in Your name, Amen.”

______

Rep. Stamas moved that Rep. Scott be excused from today’s session.

The motion prevailed.

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 19.

A concurrent resolution to memorialize Congress and the U.S. Department of Transportation to approve a grant for a project at the I-275 and Ford Road interchange under the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery Discretionary Grant program.

Whereas, Michigan State Police data identified two locations on Ford Road in Canton Township as having the most traffic accidents in Southeast Michigan. In 2008, there were a total of 248 traffic accidents on Ford Road between Lilly Road and Ikea Drive and between Haggerty Road and the South I-275 ramp. As Ford Road carries as many as 50,000 vehicles per day through this interchange, and with the steady rise in population in Canton Township, the situation continues to worsen; and

Whereas, A 2006 regional transportation study recommended reconfiguring the I-275-Ford Road interchange in order to maximize efficiency and safety. To that end, Canton Township recently applied for a federal Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant which would provide $20.3 million in federal funds to reconfigure the interchange to reduce congestion delays on the Ford Road corridor and reduce traffic backups on southbound I-275; and

Whereas, This project would make the region safer and more livable, and it has received overwhelming support from surrounding municipal governments. Not only would the interchange reconfiguration reduce accident rates, it would also reduce emissions, create jobs, and encourage economic development. Less congestion will result in an estimated 10 percent decrease in vehicle hours traveled, which will lower emissions. An average of 216 jobs per year will be generated by the project, mostly in construction. The interchange reconfiguration would spur economic growth in the region, especially among green energy companies; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we memorialize Congress and the U.S. Department of Transportation to approve a grant for a project at the I-275 and Ford Road interchange under the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery Discretionary Grant program; 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, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and the U.S. Department of Transportation.

The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Transportation.

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Callton, Barnett, Brown, Byrum, Darany, Denby, Geiss, Haines, Heise, Hooker, Huuki, Kandrevas, Knollenberg, LeBlanc, Liss, Poleski, Slavens and Tyler offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 154.

A resolution to declare November 2011 as Diabetes Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Diabetes is common, costly, disabling, and shortens life expectancy. It is the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S. in 2007 and if current trends continue, 1 in 3 adults will have diabetes by 2050; and

Whereas, The United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 25.8 million people in the U.S. have diabetes (18.8 million diagnosed and 7.0 million undiagnosed), and the Michigan Department of Community Health estimates that over 1.6 million Michigan residents have diabetes (701,000 diagnosed and 364,400 undiagnosed), more than 2 million have prediabetes and many more are at high-risk for developing diabetes; and

Whereas, The risk factors for developing diabetes are being obese or overweight, physical inactivity, having a family history of diabetes, being a part of an ethnic minority, having gestational diabetes (diabetes while pregnant) or being exposed to agent orange in Vietnam. However, lifestyle interventions such as losing weight and becoming more physically active can often prevent or delay type 2 diabetes; and

Whereas, While the at-risk patient population is a significant concern, there is an equal concern for people who have already been diagnosed with diabetes who do not achieve control of their blood glucose levels. This puts them at risk for serious complications including cardiovascular disease, blindness, nerve damage, amputation, and kidney disease and kidney failure; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare November 2011 as Diabetes Awareness Month in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports awareness campaigns and public education programs on how to manage and recognize the symptoms of diabetes and once diagnosed urges people to work with their healthcare providers to gain control of their blood glucose levels and to manage and prevent complications caused by diabetes; and be it further

Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports efforts to prevent diabetes and educate providers about treatment standards tailored to individual patients for managing diabetes.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Slavens, Barnett, Brown, Darany, Geiss, Heise, Huuki, Kandrevas, Knollenberg, LeBlanc, Liss, Poleski and Tyler offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 155.

A resolution to declare November 16, 2011, as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The state of Michigan has long been concerned with the health of its citizens; and

Whereas, Chronic lung disease, known collectively as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), is a slow, progressive, and irreversible disease of the airways that affects over 16 million Americans; and

Whereas, COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in the nation; and

Whereas, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease cost the United States an estimated $32 billion a year; and

Whereas, Awareness, early detection. and treatment are crucial in the prevention or slowing of the spread of lung disease; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare November 16, 2011, as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Awareness Day in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That we urge the citizens of Michigan use this opportunity to be aware of their respiratory health and of the factors that affect it.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Meadows, Barnett, Geiss, Huuki, Kandrevas, LeBlanc and Liss offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 156.

A resolution to memorialize Congress to resolve the internet taxation issue and enact legislation, such as the Main Street Fairness Act, to allow states to collect sales taxes on internet and other remote sales transactions.

Whereas, Under a pair of United States Supreme Court decisions in 1967 and 1992, states cannot impose sales taxes on merchants unless they have a physical presence such as a store or warehouse in the state. As a result, merchants physically located in Michigan have to pay sales taxes, while online retailers located in other states do not. Michigan is supposed to collect use taxes on remote sales, but this is extremely difficult and most people do not pay any taxes on their online purchases. This gives internet retailers an unfair competitive advantage over retailers physically located in Michigan; and

Whereas, The inability of states to collect sales taxes on internet purchases has caused local businesses to shutter their storefronts and has led to lost revenue for states and municipalities. Many consumers will visit local stores to investigate a product, but then purchase it online to avoid paying the sales tax. Countless brick and mortar retailers—contributors to state and local economies—are going out of business because of this tax handicap. Meanwhile, not taxing internet purchases subsidizes the growth of distant companies that do little to contribute to a local community’s civic and economic vitality. This unequal taxation reduces tax revenue for schools, police, and other government services. The lack of taxes on internet sales also makes a regressive tax more regressive, given that only those with internet access and a credit card are able to take advantage of the tax loophole; and

Whereas, The Main Street Fairness Act (MSFA) would level the playing field between online retailers and storefront businesses. The MSFA would authorize Michigan, and other states who are parties to the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement, to collect taxes from out-of-state sellers. The MSFA promotes simplification and fairness in the administration and collection of sales and use taxes by member states. Passage of the MSFA would begin to reverse state and local revenue declines and eliminate the unfair advantage internet sellers currently have over brick and mortar stores; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize Congress to resolve the internet taxation issue and enact legislation, such as the Main Street Fairness Act, to allow states to collect sales taxes on internet and other remote sales transactions; 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 Tax Policy.
