Fr. Clement Suhy, Associate Pastor of Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church in Lapeer, offered the following invocation:
“In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Your Son, I ask You to look with love upon my brothers and sisters here present. They have been elected to the difficult and arduous task of representing, protecting, and furthering the freedom, rights, and opportunity to pursue excellence of all the citizens of the state of Michigan.
In this arduous task, may they always hear and experience the gentle power of Your voice which leads us to embrace that heavenly Wisdom which guarantees and promotes the dignity and freedom of all men and women, from the moment of conception to natural death.
May they continue to discover that with You, with Your help and guidance all things are possible.
In difficult times, fill them with Your strength and consolation that they may never grow weary in doing the right thing.
In the face of challenges, grant them the prudence to seek counsel.
When divisions arise, grant them the humility to place the good of all before personal interests.
Dear Lord, bless them with a joyful heart as they strive to promote the good of our children, our poor and needy, our schools and institutions.
Heavenly Father, through their wise governance, may You bless all of our families and communities throughout the state of Michigan.
We ask for Your special protection upon all of the sons and daughters of Michigan that are serving in our armed forces, please grant success to their missions and bring them safely home to their families.
And may Almighty God bless you all, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Slavens, Barnett, Brown, Constan, Darany, Geiss, Heise, Kowall, LeBlanc, Liss, Lori, O’Brien, Poleski, Price, Tlaib and Tyler offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 163.
A resolution to declare November 2011 as Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, An estimated 43,030 people in 2011 will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the United States and 37,660 will die from the disease; and
Whereas, Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers and is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States; and
Whereas, When symptoms of pancreatic cancer present themselves, it is usually too late for an optimistic prognosis. Seventy-four percent of pancreatic cancer patients die within the first year of their diagnosis, while 94 percent of pancreatic cancer patients die within the first five years; and
Whereas, African Americans have the highest incidence rate of pancreatic cancer among all racial and ethnic groups in the United States; and
Whereas, Approximately 1,670 deaths will occur in Michigan in 2011; and
Whereas, There is no cure for pancreatic cancer and there have been no significant improvements in survival rates in the last 40 years; and
Whereas, The federal government invests significantly less money in pancreatic cancer research than it does in any of the other leading cancer killers and pancreatic cancer research constitutes only approximately 2 percent of the National Cancer Institute’s federal research funding. This figure is far too low given the severity of the disease, its mortality rate, and how little is known about how to arrest it; and
Whereas, The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network is the first and only national patient advocacy organization that serves the pancreatic cancer community in Michigan and nationwide by focusing its efforts on public policy, research funding, patient services, and public awareness and education related to developing effective treatments and a cure for pancreatic cancer; and
Whereas, The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and its affiliates in Michigan support those patients currently battling pancreatic cancer, as well as to those who have lost their lives to the disease, and are committed to nothing less than a cure; and
Whereas, The good health and well-being of the residents of Michigan are enhanced as a direct result of increased awareness about pancreatic cancer and research into early detection, causes, and effective treatments; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare November 2011 as Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Brown, Barnett, Bauer, Constan, Crawford, Darany, Geiss, Heise, LeBlanc, Liss, Lori, O’Brien, Poleski, Price, Slavens, Tlaib and Tyler offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 164.
A resolution to declare November 2011 as Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, November 2011 is National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month; and
Whereas, Alzheimer’s is a disease of the brain that destroys brain cells. It causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. It is the most common form of dementia; and
Whereas, Alzheimer’s is the 7th leading cause of death in the United States and totals over $172 billion in annual costs, and
Whereas, It is estimated that there are as many as 5.3 million people living with Alzheimer’s disease in the United States; and
Whereas, There are over 170,000 people in Michigan with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia, and this number will grow dramatically with this decade if no cure is found; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare November 2011 as Alzheimer’s Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Brown, Barnett, Bauer, Constan, Darany, Geiss, Heise, LeBlanc, Liss, Price, Slavens and Tlaib offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 165.
A resolution to declare December 1, 2011, as AIDS Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, December 1, 2011, has been designated as World AIDS Day; and
Whereas, World AIDS Day provides opportunities to focus on the existing concerns and policies affecting the global fight against HIV and AIDS. It also draws attention to the massive impact that HIV and AIDS has on our community; and
Whereas, The United Nations Program on HIV and AIDS annually observes December 1 as World AIDS Day, a day to increase and reinforce the universal effort to end the proliferation of HIV and AIDS and to bring awareness to the global intricacies we face; and
Whereas, In 2009, there were 2.6 million new HIV infections and 1.8 million HIV related deaths worldwide; and
Whereas, Globally, there were an estimated 33.3 million people living with HIV in 2007; and
Whereas, The current reported prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Michigan is 15,285; and
Whereas, This year’s World AIDS Day theme is “Get to Zero”; now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare December 1, 2011, as AIDS Day in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Darany, Santana, Barnett, Bauer, Constan, Crawford, Geiss, Heise, Hooker, Kowall, LeBlanc, Liss, Lori, Lund, O’Brien, Poleski, Price, Slavens, Tlaib and Tyler offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 166.
A resolution to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor and to declare December 7, 2011, as Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, On the morning of December 7, 1941, the United States was attacked without warning at Pearl Harbor Naval Base in Hawaii by the air and naval forces of Imperial Japan. More than 2,400 sailors and airmen died during the attack and another 1,200 were wounded. Of the American fatalities, nearly half of the total were due to the explosion on the USS Arizona. The attack had a devastating impact on our nation and directly led to the United States entry into World War II and prompted President Franklin D. Roosevelt to proclaim December 7, 1941, “a date which will live in infamy”; and
Whereas, On December 7, 2011, we honor those who lost their lives 70 years ago and all veterans who have fought to preserve our freedom and democracy. Despite the surprise element of the attack, many American military personnel responded effectively during the battle. In total, eight U.S. Navy battleships were damaged and four were sunk. The attack also resulted in the sinking or damaging of three cruisers, three destroyers, an anti-aircraft training ship, and one minelayer. There were more than 400 American planes in Hawaii that morning and a total of 188 were destroyed and another 159 were damaged; and
Whereas, We also recognize the citizens of Michigan who answered their country’s call to the service on the battlefields and in our factories. Michigan was known as the arsenal of democracy as factories were quickly converted for the production of war supplies. We remember those who died at Pearl Harbor through their deeds, their devotion to duty, and their willingness to fight for freedom; and
Whereas, The attack at Pearl Harbor awakened the spirit and determination of the American people. The events of December 7, 1941, remain upon the memories of the citizens of the state of Michigan, as well as, our great nation. May this recollection serve not just as a symbol of American valor and bravery, but also as the resolve of all Americans in preserving freedom; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor and declare December 7, 2011, as Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day in the state of Michigan. We urge the people of Michigan to acknowledge the importance of recognizing this day.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.

The Senate has amended the House substitute (H-2) to the Senate substitute (S-2) as follows:
1. Amend page 3, line 1, after “exercised” by striking out “in connection with” and inserting “to the extent provided in the articles of incorporation creating”.
2. Amend page 3, line 16, by striking out all of subsection (4) and inserting:
“(4)(3) An authority may bargain collectively and enter into agreements with labor organizations pursuant to Act No. 336 of the Public Acts of 1947, being sections 423.201 to 423.216 of the Michigan Compiled Laws. When the duties of a municipal emergency service are transferred to an authority, the authority immediately shall assume and be bound by any existing labor agreements applicable to that municipal service for the remainder of the term of the labor agreement. Subject to the provision of subsection (2), the members and beneficiaries of any pension or retirement system or other benefits established by a municipal emergency service which is transferred to an authority shall have the same rights, privileges, benefits, obligations, and status with respect to the comparable systems established by the authority. A representative of the employees or any group of employees in a municipal emergency service who represent or are entitled to represent the employees or a group of employees of the municipal service , pursuant to Act No. 336 of the Public Acts of 1947, shall continue to represent the employee or group of employees after the employees are transferred to an authority’s emergency service. This subsection does not limit the rights of employees, pursuant to applicable law, to assert that a bargaining representative protected by this subsection is no longer their representative. An authority is effective through its articles of incorporation at least 180 days before the actual transfer of personnel and equipment. Before the authority’s effective date, the incorporating municipalities shall affirm in writing to the authority those employees who will be transferred to the authority.
(5) If employees who are transferred to the authority are represented by a labor organization, those employees are subject to their previous terms and conditions of employment until those terms and conditions of employment are modified in accordance with 1947 PA 336, MCL 423.201 to 423.217, or for 6 months after the transfer to the authority, whichever is earlier. Negotiations on a collective bargaining agreement with an authority shall begin no later than 180 days before the date the employees transfer to the authority.
(6) Subject to subsection (7), a representative of the employees or group of employees in a municipal emergency service who previously represented or was entitled to represent the employees or group of employees in a municipal emergency service under 1947 PA 336, MCL 423.201 to 423.217, shall continue to represent the employees or group of employees after those employees or group of employees are transferred to the authority’s emergency service.
(7) This section does not limit the rights of employees, under applicable law, to assert that a bargaining representative protected by subsection (6) is no longer their representative. The employees of the authority are eligible as of the day the authority becomes effective through its articles of incorporation to choose their representative under 1947 PA 336, MCL 423.201 to 423.217. This subsection does not extend the time limits as provided in subsection (4).
(8) If multiple labor organizations assert the right to represent all or part of the authority’s workforce or where a substantial portion of the transferred employees were not previously represented, in the absence of a voluntary mutual agreement, at the request of any party or on the initiative of the Michigan employment relations commission, the Michigan employment relations commission shall conduct a representation election.
(9) In the absence of a voluntary mutual agreement, the authority’s workforce shall be merged by using a single seniority list for each of the same or similar classifications. The single seniority list shall be composed of all employees from each incorporating municipality employed or having recall rights on the date of transfer and shall be used for purposes that include, but are not limited to, initial assignments, layoffs, recalls, and job bidding. Disputes concerning the single seniority list or use of the single seniority list shall be heard by a single arbitrator appointed by the Michigan employment relations commission.
(10) Nothing in this section requires a municipality or an authority to assume a collective bargaining agreement between another municipality and its employees.” and renumbering the remaining subsection.
The Senate has concurred in the House substitute (H-2) to the Senate substitute (S-2) as amended.
The Speaker announced that pursuant to Rule 42, the bill was laid over one day.

2. Amend page 6, following line 22, by inserting:
“(5) A JOINT EXERCISE OF POWER IS EFFECTIVE THROUGH ITS CONTRACT AT LEAST 180 DAYS BEFORE THE ACTUAL TRANSFER OF FUNCTIONS OR SERVICES. BEFORE THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE JOINT EXERCISE OF POWER, THE PUBLIC AGENCIES THAT ARE PARTIES TO THE CONTRACT SHALL AFFIRM IN WRITING TO THE JOINT EXERCISE OF POWER THOSE EMPLOYEES WHO WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO THE JOINT EXERCISE OF POWER.
(6) IF EMPLOYEES WHO ARE TRANSFERRED TO THE JOINT EXERCISE OF POWER ARE REPRESENTED BY A LABOR ORGANIZATION, THOSE EMPLOYEES ARE SUBJECT TO THEIR PREVIOUS TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT UNTIL THOSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT ARE MODIFIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH 1947 PA 336, MCL 423.201 TO 423.217, OR FOR 6 MONTHS AFTER THE TRANSFER TO THE JOINT EXERCISE OF POWER, WHICHEVER IS EARLIER. NEGOTIATIONS ON A COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT WITH A JOINT EXERCISE OF POWER SHALL BEGIN NO LATER THAN 180 DAYS BEFORE THE DATE THE EMPLOYEES TRANSFER TO THE JOINT EXERCISE OF POWER.
(7) SUBJECT TO SUBSECTION (8), A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE EMPLOYEES OR GROUP OF EMPLOYEES IN A PUBLIC AGENCY WHO PREVIOUSLY REPRESENTED OR WAS ENTITLED TO REPRESENT THE EMPLOYEES OR GROUP OF EMPLOYEES IN A PUBLIC AGENCY UNDER 1947 PA 336, MCL 423.201 TO 423.217, SHALL CONTINUE TO REPRESENT THE EMPLOYEES OR GROUP OF EMPLOYEES AFTER THOSE EMPLOYEES OR GROUP OF EMPLOYEES ARE TRANSFERRED TO THE JOINT EXERCISE OF POWER.
(8) THIS SECTION DOES NOT LIMIT THE RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES, UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, TO ASSERT THAT A BARGAINING REPRESENTATIVE PROTECTED BY SUBSECTION (7) IS NO LONGER THEIR REPRESENTATIVE. THE EMPLOYEES OF THE JOINT EXERCISE OF POWER ARE ELIGIBLE AS OF THE DAY THE JOINT EXERCISE OF POWER BECOMES EFFECTIVE THROUGH ITS CONTRACT TO CHOOSE THEIR REPRESENTATIVE UNDER 1947 PA 336, MCL 423.201 TO 423.217. THIS SUBSECTION DOES NOT EXTEND THE TIME LIMITS AS PROVIDED IN SUBSECTION (5).

(10) IN THE ABSENCE OF A VOLUNTARY MUTUAL AGREEMENT, THE WORKFORCE OF THE JOINT EXERCISE OF POWER SHALL BE MERGED BY USING A SINGLE SENIORITY LIST FOR EACH OF THE SAME OR SIMILAR CLASSIFICATIONS. THE SINGLE SENIORITY LIST SHALL BE COMPOSED OF ALL EMPLOYEES FROM EACH PUBLIC AGENCY EMPLOYED OR HAVING RECALL RIGHTS ON THE DATE OF TRANSFER AND SHALL BE USED FOR PURPOSES THAT INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, INITIAL ASSIGNMENTS, LAYOFFS, RECALLS, AND JOB BIDDING.
