Pastor Ken Nichols, Pastor of Rollin Friends Church in Rollin Township, offered the following invocation:
“Our Heavenly Father, I thank You for this day that we are able to come together to honor Your name by asking for Your strength and wisdom to do the work that You have placed before us.
Father, You know what is weighing on our hearts and minds. You understand the struggles that some of us are carrying today; either our own struggles or those of our friends and families. So, I ask You to work in these situations and to resolve them for Your Glory and for our leaders’ sakes. Lord, grant these men and women the peace that is needed to ease their minds so that they may focus on their tasks at hand.
I would also ask this for their staff as well as for those who are part of this body, but are not here today. Father, may they recognize that it is Your hand moving in their lives, beckoning them to trust in You in a more deeply and personal way.
Again, Father, I ask for the strength, wisdom, and grace necessary for these men and women to do their work for Your glory and for our benefit. Thank You.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”
Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Zorn, Rendon, Dianda, Kivela, McBroom, MacGregor, Daley, Callton, Jenkins, Graves, Barnett and Geiss offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 303.
A resolution to urge the United States Department of Energy to prohibit the export of domestic propane into the world market until inventories meeting national needs are secured.
Whereas, In one of the coldest winters in recent times, many people who use propane as a heating fuel are shivering in their homes unable to locate a supply of propane. When propane supplies are available, the fuel’s current exorbitant price prevents households from fully filling their tanks. Thirty-six percent of homes in the Midwest depend on propane for heating fuel. Many of these households are in rural areas and consist of elderly persons. They are being pushed to their limits, faced with subzero temperatures amidst a severe propane shortage; and
Whereas, Data from the United States Energy Information Administration (EIA) and the National Weather Service (NWS) illustrate the dire situation confronting people who depend on propane. According to the EIA, national propane stocks were 45 percent lower and the average national retail price per gallon was 75 percent higher in January 2014 compared to January 2013. Meanwhile, according to the NWS’s weather station in Marquette, Michigan, the average temperature in January 2014 was 5.8 degrees; almost three times lower than it was during January 2013; and
Whereas, While Americans are struggling, domestically produced propane is being exported out of the country at an alarming rate. Domestic propane production has been steadily rising: production in 2013 was about 40 percent higher than in 2010. Meanwhile, exports of propane in 2013 were triple the amount from 2010. While there may be many reasons for the skyrocketing prices and the short propane supply, increased propane exports is unarguably a contributing factor; and
Whereas, Government officials have recognized the crisis situation facing Americans who depend on propane for warmth. Michigan’s Governor Snyder has declared a state of emergency for propane, as have Governors in Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, and other states. The United States Department of Transportation has issued emergency orders that exempt propane transporters from a number of safety regulations. Clearly, the Department of Energy should act. Exports should be stopped until Americans have access to propane at reasonable rates; now therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the United States Department of Energy to prohibit the export of domestic propane into the world market until inventories meeting national needs are secured; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Office of the United States Secretary of Energy, the Office of the Governor of Michigan, and the Chairman of the Michigan Public Service Commission.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Energy and Technology.
______
The Speaker called Associate Speaker Pro Tempore O’Brien to the Chair.

______
Rep. McMillin, 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:
I voted ‘no’ in part because I don’t think we should be deciding which extraction processes get a tax break and which shouldn’t. If we want to tax wells based on profitability, then let’s have that debate. But I disagree that we should reduce severance tax on a kind of well because the owner decides to spend more money per unit to extract it, unless we have that broad policy debate.”
