Pastor David Turley, Pastor of Decatur Bible Church in Decatur, offered the following invocation:

“Our Father in heaven, Who alone is worthy of all praise and adoration, we come this day to ask of You to guide the thoughts, deliberations, and decisions of this great body of men and women. According to Your word our Father, we recognize that all legislative authority comes from You and so we lift up these who serve our government for Your continued blessing. For they have given of themselves that they might make a difference for good in and for the lives of the people of the great state of Michigan –a part of these United States upon whom You have cast Your Blessing.

The task before them is no small endeavor…the challenges they face require great wisdom; thus if they are to excel in their responsibilities as legislators, they will indeed need Your guiding hand to lead them and so we ask that of You. We ask also Father that they would be gracious and kind to one another in their deliberations.

And we would not forget to pray for their respective families, for we realize as well that there is a great demand upon them. Thus we ask that You keep them safe, together, & strong that they might be an example to us all in these trying days.

And finally our Father, we pray that You would grant this petition according to Your will.

In the name of Your Son, The Lord Jesus, we pray. Amen.”

House Resolution No. 112.

A resolution to declare May 3, 2013, as Community College Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The first Michigan two-year college, Grand Rapids Junior College, opened in 1914 and provided high school graduates with two years of general education classes preparing them for future education or workforce experience; and

Whereas, Twenty-seven additional community colleges have been established throughout the state of Michigan since 1914. The community colleges of Michigan include: Alpena Community College, Bay College, Delta College, Glen Oaks Community College, Gogebic Community College, Grand Rapids Community College, Henry Ford Community College, Jackson Community College, Kalamazoo Valley Community College, Kellogg Community College, Kirtland Community College, Lake Michigan Community College, Lansing Community College, Macomb Community College, Mid Michigan Community College, Monroe County Community College, Montcalm Community College, Mott Community College, Muskegon Community College, North Central Community College, Northwestern Michigan College, Oakland Community College, St. Clair County Community College, Schoolcraft College, Southwestern Michigan College, Washtenaw Community College, Wayne County Community College District, and West Shore Community College. These institutions educate nearly half a million students each year; and

Whereas, Michigan community colleges have developed and evolved their educational offerings to include state-of-the-art technical and vocational programs while maintaining high academic standards; and

Whereas, Our state’s community colleges are now recognized as leaders in workforce preparation, training, and retraining, as well as offering community services and cultural opportunities to Michigan communities; and

Whereas, Students investing in a Michigan community college education enjoy an attractive return on investment because of future earning capacity; and

Whereas, The role community colleges play in Michigan’s economic development continues to be more vital as our state’s workforce looks to compete both nationally and globally for the jobs of tomorrow; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 3, 2013, as Community College Day in the state of Michigan. We urge appropriate observance of this occasion; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Community College Association members as a token of our appreciation

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Yanez, Dillon, Lamonte, Schor, Ananich, Barnett, Brown, Darany, Durhal, Heise, Howrylak, Lori, O’Brien, Roberts, Santana, Segal, Singh, Slavens and Talabi offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 113.

A resolution to declare May 12, 2013, as Fibromyalgia Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Fibromyalgia is a complex chronic pain disorder that affects an estimated 10 million Americans and approximately 3 to 6 percent of the population worldwide; and

Whereas, While it occurs most often in women, it strikes men and children and all ethnic backgrounds; and

Whereas, For those with severe symptoms, fibromyalgia can be extremely debilitating and interfere with basic daily activities; and

Whereas, Fibromyalgia often occurs following a physical trauma, such as an acute illness or injury, which may act as a trigger in the development of the disorder. Recent studies have suggested that afflicted patients have generalized disturbance in pain processing and an amplified response to stimuli that would not ordinarily be painful in healthy individuals; and

Whereas, There is no known cure for fibromyalgia. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and improving function. A variety of prescription medications are often used to reduce pain levels and improve sleep; and

Whereas, Spreading awareness of the symptoms of fibromyalgia can help put an end to the lack of understanding individuals face. Education and awareness of fibromyalgia will help to decrease the number of countless instances of mistreatment and misdiagnosis that patients encounter; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 12, 2013, as Fibromyalgia Awareness Day in state of Michigan. We encourage all citizens to help educate and support family, friends, and neighbors who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia as an expression of support and compassion to fight this dreadful pain disorder. By increasing awareness of the risk factors and taking direct actions to reduce them, we can enable those who suffer from the disorder to live more peacefully.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Cochran, Barnett, Brown, Darany, Durhal, Roberts, Santana, Segal, Singh, Slavens and Talabi offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 114.

A resolution to declare April 28, 2013, as Worker Memorial Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Every year on April 28, communities and worksites around the world honor friends, family members, and colleagues who have been killed or injured on the job; and

Whereas, The Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics has reported that more than 4,600 workers suffered fatal workplace injuries and nearly 3 million individuals suffered nonfatal work-related injuries and illnesses in 2011. Experts estimate that at least 50,000 deaths occur annually as a result of occupational diseases; and

Whereas, 139 workers were lost through fatal workplace accidents in Michigan in 2011; and

Whereas, It is appropriate to honor the memory of the courageous and dedicated members of Michigan’s labor force who have been injured or disabled or have died as a result of workplace accidents; and

Whereas, We remember those who have died in workplace catastrophes, suffered occupational-related diseases, or have been injured because of dangerous conditions; and

Whereas, Recognition of the integrity of Michigan’s work force and its achievements on behalf of the economic growth of our state is necessary; and

Whereas, The Michigan House of Representatives wishes to pay tribute to workers who have died or who have been injured or disabled in workplace accidents, to honor the contributions of Michigan’s work force, and to call for increased workplace safety; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 28, 2013, as Worker Memorial Day in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Explanation of “No” Votes

Rep. Schor, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of House Bill No. 4328, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

Mr. Speaker,

I rise to oppose this Omnibus Budget bill today.

I am disappointed to have to do this, but this bill is not reflective of the priorities that we as a state should be pursuing.

We need to create a state will attract young talent to remain here. To do this, we need to create great places. Yet we are not supporting our communities. Even though Budget Director Nixon last year announced that the Great Recession is over and we are again reinvesting in our priorities, this budget give no increase whatsoever to communities after they have been cut by $5 billion over the last 12 years. And yesterday, amendments were rejected to give our communities increased funding for things like public safety.

We are not doing our best to help small businesses. Government can do its part to help create small businesses. I sat on a Smartzone Board and watched as we assisted in the creation of many small business jobs by entrepreneurs. Yet yesterday, an amendment was defeated to assist business incubators.

And perhaps the worst part of this budget is what is not in the Department of Community Health section. Currently, children in 75 of Michigan’s 83 counties receive assistance through the Healthy Kids Dental program. This is a tremendous program piloted by Delta Dental and DCH to improve the dental health of those greatest in need. The Governor proposed to expand this program to Ingham, Ottawa, and Washtenaw counties. My constituents appreciate the recognition of the need here in Lansing. Yet the Governor’s recommendation was eliminated in this budget, and an amendment to restore this yesterday was defeated.

Finally, this budget has removed the Governor’s recommendation to accept millions of dollars from the federal government that would assist half a million people to have health care, and that would save taxpayers millions of dollars in uncompensated hospital care.

The issue of Expanded Medicaid funding has come up for me in a variety of places recently. Coffee meetings, constituent meetings, neighborhood meetings, and others.

I tell my constituents accepting the Expanded Medicaid dollars will help between 400,000 and 600,000 Michigan residents, many here in Lansing. These are people that have no health insurance now, and must go to the emergency room when things get really bad.

I tell them it will reduce uncompensated care; that people would be able to receive preventative treatment and not be forced to use ER’s. I tell them that this will save millions for taxpayers in future Medicaid expenses, including about $200 million in the first year according to the House Fiscal Agency. Additionally, HFA estimates that new federal revenue to the state would range from $1.9 billion to $2.2 billion per year over a ten-year period, for a total of over $20.5 billion. I tell them that the amount saved in uncompensated care is estimated to be $300 million, which is much more than the percentage that Michigan will have to pay starting in three years in order to ensure that these half a million Michigan residents have health care.

I tell them that the Governor actually came up with a plan to save money now in order to pay for this when Michigan has to contribute in the future.

Then I tell them that the House of Representatives and Senate in this budget reject these federal dollars; which makes us even more of a donor state, keeps these 400,000 people without health care, and actually costs the taxpayers more in uncompensated care. This after our friends in the other chamber rejected $34 million for a Health Care Exchange and is making us spend $8 million instead for a net $42 million loss to the state.

They ask me why, so I tell them what I know. I tell them one claim is fraud in the Medicaid system. They have said to me - isn’t there some potential for fraud in any government program? Isn’t there the possibility of fraud in farm subsidies? Or the dredging program getting $24 million more this year alone? Or cash given to developers directly from the government with no accountability for jobs? Why is this program any different?

I say good point. But my colleagues across the aisle have said that there is not enough capacity. Well, they remind me, that isn’t true according to the hospitals and clinics who say they have capacity and can take care of these half a million Michigan residents.

I say that the opponents say they don’t like big government programs. So my constituents remind me that Medicaid and other big government programs have been in the law since the 1960’s and have been funded regardless of which party is in charge. And by rejecting the expansion of Medicaid here in Michigan, doesn’t it just mean that the other states get this funding when we don’t, which will make those states healthier and more competitive than us?’ So I say yes, that is all true.

Then why, they ask, are we rejecting this? The only argument I have left is opposition based on philosophical grounds. But, I have told my constituents that I am looking forward to this debate today, so I can come back to them and tell them why the majority in this chamber has decided to reject this funding which will help a half a million of our residents and save our taxpayers millions of dollars.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’m disappointed that no response was provided here today and will have to report back that I still don’t know why this is being left out.”

Gary L. Randall

Clerk of the House

The Clerk received the following dissent on House Bill No. 4360, from Rep. Irwin:

I continue to object to the use of procedural tricks to subvert the Constitutional rights of citizens to know accurately the actions of the House of Representatives. Motions for immediate effect are routinely gaveled through without even a pretense of vote counting. This motion requires support from 2/3rds of the members and there is no genuine effort to ascertain the level of support for immediate effect. I object to this practice and I object to the erroneous assertions printed in the House Journal that suggest an authentic counting of votes occurred on the House floor.

The Clerk received the following dissent on House Bill No. 4361, from Rep. Irwin:
