Rep. Ray A. Franz, from the 101st District, offered the following invocation:
“Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon You and we ask Your blessings upon this body, our families, our constituents, this great State and our Country. We thank You for giving us this opportunity to honor the men and women who wear the cloth of our country and serve in her hour of need, especially those who gave their lives. Father we ask You to bless and strengthen those ‘more than self –their country love’. Comfort us now in our longing for the return of the Prisoners of War and those Missing in Action. Heal our wounded warriors. Bless them. Restore them. Heal their bodies. We ask You to bless the families of our military who stay behind while their loved one goes into battle. Keep them safe and provide for their needs according to Your abundance. For all of this and more, we give thanks. Amen.”

The Speaker assumed the Chair.
Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Forlini, LaFontaine, Graves, Lauwers, Goike, Crawford, Denby, Hooker, LaVoy and Roberts offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 319.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to oppose the U.S. Department of Defense’s budget proposal that would potentially close commissaries at U.S. military bases and to ensure that replacement aircraft are assigned to Selfridge Air National Guard Base to compensate for the proposed elimination of the A-10 fleet.
Whereas, The proposed U.S. Department of Defense budget would dramatically cut commissary services throughout the nation and eliminate the nation’s A-10 fleet, including aircraft at Michigan’s Selfridge Air National Guard Base. Selfridge currently is home to 18 A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft and the more than 400 personnel related to that mission; and
Whereas, Our brave men and women in uniform benefit greatly from commissaries, and we should continue to provide them as part of their service. Slashing the commissary budget would likely lead to the closing of commissary stores at military installations throughout the nation. Commissary stores currently provide military families an affordable and convenient location to shop for groceries and other necessities. The U.S. Defense Commissary Agency found that commissaries save shoppers an average of 30.5 percent annually compared to off-base options; and
Whereas, The proposed cuts would have a dramatic effect on the lives and morale of the dedicated men and women who choose to serve our country at Selfridge Air National Guard Base and other U.S. military bases. The elimination of the A-10 fleet would place in jeopardy more than 400 jobs at Selfridge alone. Closing commissaries would increase living expenses for military families, essentially helping to balance the defense budget at the expense of the men and women who serve; and
Whereas, In Michigan, these proposed cuts would have immeasurable impacts on Macomb County and the local communities surrounding the Selfridge Air National Guard Base. For nearly a century, the base has been a source of community pride, local jobs, and local revenue as well as a key component of disaster response for the entire state and a vital base for our nation’s homeland security; and
Whereas, The A-10 fleet should not be eliminated until replacement aircraft can be assigned to Selfridge Air National Guard Base. The proposed cuts would compound past, short-sighted decisions to transfer the A-10 aircraft to Selfridge despite the knowledge that these aircraft would be phased out. These decisions have made Selfridge vulnerable to closure in future Base Realignment and Closure Commission recommendations. Assigning replacement aircraft would not only maintain the viability of this important base for homeland security, but would also be cost-effective: the Air National Guard can operate aircraft at about half the cost of an active duty unit; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to oppose the U.S. Department of Defense’s budget proposal that would potentially close commissaries at U.S. military bases and to ensure that replacement aircraft are assigned to Selfridge Air National Guard Base to compensate for the proposed elimination of the A-10 fleet; 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 Military and Veterans Affairs.
Reps. Talabi, Durhal, Stallworth, Banks, Slavens, Stanley, Brown, Nathan, Hovey-Wright, Kandrevas, Singh, Robinson, Santana, Phelps, Brunner, Smiley, Hobbs, Yanez, Lamonte, Brinks, Driskell, Schor, Zemke, Lipton, Segal, Crawford, Kurtz, Yonker, Haines, Abed, Kosowski and Oakes offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 320.
A resolution to encourage Michigan pharmacies to stop selling tobacco products.
Whereas, CVS Caremark recently announced it will remove all tobacco products from its stores by October 2014, saying the sales of tobacco products is inconsistent with the pharmacy’s mission to promote health. By making this bold and unprecedented move, CVS will be foregoing billions of dollars of revenue annually from its stores across the United States; and
Whereas, According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), tobacco use is the single most preventable cause of disease, disability, and death in the United States. Tobacco use is related to asthma, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and other diseases. Smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke causes serious illness to millions of Americans and the premature deaths of an estimated 443,000 people each year. In addition to its damaging toll on Americans’ health, tobacco use imposes a significant economic burden—more than $96 billion a year in medical costs and another $97 billion a year from lost productivity; and
Whereas, Pharmacies are part of the health care infrastructure in the United States and should not contribute to a preventable cause of death and disease. Pharmacies that refuse to sell tobacco products can better serve their patients, clients, and health care providers. Clearly, removing tobacco products from the shelves of retail pharmacies is the right thing to do; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we encourage all Michigan pharmacies to stop selling tobacco products; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Chain Drug Marketing Association, the National Association of Chain Drug Stores, the National Community Pharmacists Association, the Michigan Pharmacists Association, and CVS Caremark.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Health Policy.
Reps. Cavanagh, Durhal, Kelly, LaVoy, Oakes, Roberts, Slavens and Stanley offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 321.
A resolution to declare March 17-21, 2014, as School Counselor Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The House of Representatives has recognized the importance of school counseling through the inclusion of elementary and secondary school counseling programs in Michigan schools; and
Whereas, School counselors have long emphasized the importance of personal and social development and academic achievement and help develop well-rounded students by guiding them through their academic, personal, social, and career development; and
Whereas, School counselors play a vital role in ensuring that students are aware of financial aid and college opportunities, and encourage students to pursue challenging academic courses to prepare them for college majors and careers in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields; and
Whereas, School counselors help students cope with the serious and common challenges of growing up, including peer pressure, mental health issues, school violence, disciplinary problems, the deployment of family members to conflicts overseas, and problems in the home, and are also instrumental in helping students, teachers, and parents deal with personal trauma and community and national tragedies; and
Whereas, School counselors are among the few professionals in a school building that are trained both in education and mental health; and
Whereas, Despite the important contributions of school counselors to student success, counseling positions are not always protected when budgets are cut; and
Whereas, The average student-to-counselor ratio in Michigan public schools is 634 to 1, almost triple the 250 to 1 ratio recommended by the American School Counselor Association, the American Counseling Association, the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and other organizations; and
Whereas, The celebration of Michigan School Counselor Week will increase awareness of the important and necessary role school counselors play in the lives of students in Michigan; and
Whereas, It is important to acknowledge the role school counselors play in cultivating our most important resource, Michigan’s children; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 17-21, 2014, as School Counselor Week in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Rep. Cavanagh moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:

Whereas, School counselors play a vital role in ensuring that students are aware of financial aid and college opportunities, and encourage students to pursue challenging academic courses to prepare them for college majors and careers in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields; and
