Rev. Matthew D. Baye, Associate Pastor of St. Peter Lutheran Church and School in Macomb Township, offered the following invocation:

“Almighty God, we gather again today in gratitude for the blessings of life and freedom which You have given us in our nation and state. We thank You for the gift of good government, for the gift of those gathered here and for all who work with them, through whom You promote the peace and well-being of our state. Grant Your blessing to this session. Give wisdom and discernment to these men and women who serve the citizens of Michigan as they make and administer laws for the good of all. Remove from them any temptation toward favoritism or partiality, and provide a sense of unity in promoting the cause of justice for all people. Through their efforts, thwart those who would plan to do what is evil and harms others, and bless those who do what is right.

For every gift from Your hand – good weather, good land, times of work and rest, opportunities to provide for the needs of our families and communities, and Your continual protection and care – we thank You. Help us to be faithful stewards of Your gifts, to Your glory and for the good of all creation.

In the name of Jesus the Lord I pray. Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Lyons, Rendon, Glardon, Bumstead, Poleski, Huuki, Crawford, McBroom, MacMaster, Pettalia, Outman, Cotter, Kowall, Foster, Shirkey, Gilbert, Wayne Schmidt, Nesbitt, Heise and Tyler offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 178.

A resolution to memorialize Congress to enact the “Recreational Fishing and Hunting Heritage and Opportunities Act.”

Whereas, Michigan has a long and distinguished heritage of hunting, fishing, and shooting sports as a form of wildlife conservation management and recreation; and

Whereas, Hundreds of thousands of Michigan citizens participate in these traditional activities each year; and

Whereas, Recreational fishing and hunting are environmentally acceptable and beneficial activities that occur and can be provided on federal public lands and waters without adverse effects on other uses or users; and

Whereas, Recreational fishing and hunting are often the original or primary purpose for which federal public lands were established; and

Whereas, Recreational anglers, hunters, and associated industries have generated billions of dollars of critical funding for fish and wildlife conservation, research, and management by providing revenues from purchases of fishing and hunting permits and stamps. In addition, excise taxes on fishing, hunting, and shooting equipment have also generated billions of dollars of critical funding for fish and wildlife conservation, research, and management; and

Whereas, Opportunities to recreationally fish, hunt, and shoot are declining, which depresses participation in these traditional activities, and depressed participation adversely impacts fish and wildlife conservation and funding for important conservation efforts; and

Whereas, A recent decision by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has the potential to reduce federal public lands traditionally available for hunting, fishing, and shooting sport activities; and

Whereas, The public interest would be served, and our citizens’ fish and wildlife resources benefitted, by action to ensure that opportunities for fishing and hunting on federal public lands are promoted; and

Whereas, Congressman Dan Benishek has introduced H.R. 2834, known as the Recreational Fishing and Hunting Heritage and Opportunities Act, for the 112th Congress aimed at recognizing “the heritage of recreational fishing, hunting, and shooting on Federal public lands” and to “ensure continued opportunities for these activities”; and

Whereas, During Michigan’s 96th Legislature the House and Senate have passed resolutions to oppose bans on firearm hunting and snowmobile recreation in certain areas of the Huron-Manistee National Forest; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize Congress to enact the Recreational Fishing and Hunting Heritage and Opportunities Act and encourage the continued advancement of opportunities and recognition of recreational fishing, hunting, and shooting activities on federal public lands; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to 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 Natural Resources, Tourism, and Outdoor Recreation.

Meeting held on: Tuesday, January 24, 2012

Present: Reps. Lund, McBroom, Knollenberg, Tyler, Outman, Pscholka, Byrum, Nathan and Stanley

The Committee on Military and Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security, by Rep. Franz, Chair, reported

House Resolution No. 173.

A resolution to memorialize Congress to extend the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program.

(For text of resolution, see House Journal No. 102 of 2011, p. 2922.)

With the recommendation that the following substitute (H-1) be adopted and that the resolution then be adopted.

Substitute for House Resolution No. 173.

A resolution to memorialize Congress to extend the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program.

Whereas, Ten years ago, America suffered through the worst terrorist attack in its history. Our country grieved for those who lost their lives and we rediscovered the heroes who make us proud to be Americans. The events of September 11, 2001, changed many things for our country, including how we view homeland security; and

Whereas, After September 11th, the American chemical industry recognized the need to re-examine its approach to security to make sure the nation’s chemical facilities, which are central to our economy and face heightened terrorist threats, were adequately protected. Since then, industry initiatives and investments, coupled with a comprehensive set of common sense government regulations, have vastly improved the security of the nation’s chemical facilities; and

Whereas, The Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program, enacted with strong bipartisan support in 2007, has proven to be one of the most important regulatory programs administered by the Department of Homeland Security. Under the CFATS program, chemical facilities across the country, including scores in Michigan, are taking action to prevent terrorist attacks and lower the attractiveness of chemical facilities as potential targets of terrorism. The CFATS program addresses the need to protect chemical facilities, while preserving the chemical industry’s ability to provide essential jobs and products; and

Whereas, With the CFATS program set to expire in October 2012, it is imperative that Congress pass a long-term extension for the program to keep moving forward on chemical security, to enhance public safety, and to protect the more than 60,000 jobs across Michigan that are dependent on the chemical industry. Extending the CFATS program will allow the chemical industry to enhance that which has already been achieved so far, a more secure nation, a steady source of jobs, and the validation of the United States’ reputation as a leader in innovation; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize Congress to extend the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) 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, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
