May the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable in Your sight, our Creator and Lord.
Bless and strengthen each member of this House, the staff, the clerks and our Sergeants. May we see the good in one another and may we understand more fully Your love. May we seek You for the guidance, wisdom and mercy that You so abundantly offer to all who seek You.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”

______
Rep. Slavens, 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:
As a member of the House of Representative District 21, it is my responsibility and obligation to uphold the Michigan Constitution, which includes the beverage containers initiated law of 1976, a ‘beverage container’ means an airtight metal, glass, paper or plastic container, composed of a combination of these materials which at the time of sale, contains up to one gallon of a beverage.
In committee, I voted in favor of HB 5660, after being presented with testimony from grocers, convenience store owners and other local retailers who are on the frontlines of receiving and exchanging bottles, cans and plastic containers in compliance with law and the Constitution. During testimony, I learned of a technological development that allows for containers to be made and beverages to be preserved with materials that are not completely made of aluminum or plastic. Because of this development, these new containers cannot be recycled easily or processed by traditional sorting methods.
The bill would ultimatley prevent the extension of the 10-cent bottle deposit to the new technologies that allow for alcohol pouch containers, upon hearing from constituents and after careful consideration of the consequences of amending or altering the Beverage Containers Initiated Law of 1976, I cannot also vote in favor of this legislation on the House floor. It is with the intent and spirit of the original law, that I voted no to keep our roadsides, parks, lakes and streams clean an safe for all of Michigan’s residents.”
Senate Bill No. 455, entitled
A bill to amend 1927 PA 175, entitled “The code of criminal procedure,” by amending sections 16i and 16o of chapter XVII (MCL 777.16i and 777.16o), section 16i as amended by 2010 PA 95 and section 16o as amended by 2010 PA 130.
