Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Lyons, Brown, Crawford, Darany, Durhal, Heise, Hooker, Kelly, Price, Singh, Slavens and Talabi offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 176.
A resolution to declare June 2013 as Internet Safety Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, We recognize that Internet Safety Month provides Michigan residents with an opportunity to learn more about the dangers of the Internet and the importance of being safe and responsible online. We recognize this month of awareness here in Michigan as well as nationally; and
Whereas, We commend and recognize state and community organizations for promoting awareness of the dangers of the Internet and providing information and training that develops critical thinking and decision-making skills that are needed to use the Internet safely. We call on Internet safety organizations, law enforcement, educators, community leaders, parents, and volunteers to increase their efforts to raise the level of awareness for the need for online safety in the United States; and
Whereas, The Michigan Child Protection Registry honors Internet Safety Month by reminding parents that when they sign up for this registry, they can block adult-oriented advertisements like alcohol, tobacco, pornography, online gambling, and illegal drugs from reaching their family’s email inboxes, cell phones, or instant messenger ID’s; and
Whereas, The Michigan Child Protection Registry was created by the Michigan Legislature in 2004 as a do-not-contact service for Michigan families. The Michigan Child Protection Registry is a free, state administered program that allows Michigan’s families to protect their households from adult-oriented messages; and
Whereas, The Michigan Child Protection Registry is administered by the Michigan Public Service Commission and enforced by the Attorney General’s Office; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 2013 as Internet Safety Month in the state of Michigan. We urge all individuals to raise their awareness to ensure that their Internet time is safe and secure all year long.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. VerHeulen, Lyons, MacGregor, Hooker, Dillon, Brinks, Yonker, Brown, Durhal, Heise, Howrylak, Kelly, Price, Singh, Slavens and Talabi offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 177.
A resolution to recognize the Meijer State Games of Michigan for their dedication to community, fitness, and health.
Whereas, The Meijer State Games of Michigan are growing rapidly, as is evidenced by the 44% increase in participation from 2011 to 2012; and
Whereas, The increased participation and high turn-out rate has yielded $2 million to the local economy; and
Whereas, The Meijer State Games of Michigan also fuels the economy by bringing hundreds of people to local hotels, often causing them to sell out during the nights of the events; and
Whereas, Athletes of all ages and all abilities gather from more than 60 Michigan counties to compete in the sports events offered at the Meijer State Games; and
Whereas, The Meijer State Games won the 2013 Extraordinary Event/Organization Award by the Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness, Health and Sports; and
Whereas, In 2012, Governor Rick Snyder officially proclaimed the Meijer State Games of Michigan the official state games of Michigan; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize the Meijer State Games of Michigan for their dedication to community, fitness, and health.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Roberts, Heise, Switalski, Forlini, Irwin, Tlaib, Robinson, Townsend, Yanez, Brown, Darany, Durhal, Howrylak, Slavens and Talabi offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 178.
A resolution to urge careful review of the proposed underground nuclear waste repository in Ontario, Canada and memorialize the United States Congress to do all it can to see that Michigan’s concerns are fully addressed.
Whereas, Ontario Power Generation is proposing to construct an underground, long-term burial facility for all of Ontario’s low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste at the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station, some of which is long-lived intermediate waste. This site, less than a mile inland from the shore of Lake Huron and about 440 yards below the lake level, is approximately 120 miles upstream from the main drinking water intakes for Southeast Michigan; and
Whereas, Lake Huron and the other Great Lakes are critically important resources to both the United States and Canada. The Great Lakes contain 95 percent of North America’s surface fresh water and provide drinking water to tens of millions of people. Pristine water is important to fishing, boating, recreation, tourism, and agriculture in Michigan and throughout the region. Agriculture, commercial and sport fisheries, shipping, recreation, and tourism are important components of the Great Lakes economy. This proposal to place a permanent nuclear waste burial facility so close to the Great Lakes raises serious concerns; and
Whereas, As part of an effort to protect water quality, Michigan’s siting criteria for the disposal of low-level radioactive waste prohibits any site located within ten miles of Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, the Saint Mary’s River, the Detroit River, the St. Clair River, or Lake St. Clair. It also excludes sites located within a 500-year floodplain, located over a sole source aquifer, or located where the hydrogeology beneath the site discharges groundwater to the land surface within 3,000 feet of the boundaries of the site. We encourage Canada to consider similar siting criteria; and
Whereas, International agreements between the United States and Canada state that radiological contamination should be reduced and emphasize the concept of prevention. We encourage Canada, as part of its public review process, to make known the steps that have been or will be taken to fulfill the requirements of these agreements; and
Whereas, Siting an underground nuclear waste repository in limestone, as proposed by Ontario Power Generation, is the first of its kind. The environmental impact statement for this proposed nuclear waste burial facility noted that the acceptability of an alternative site was “unknown.” We encourage the use of sound scientific principles and analyses in determining whether this geologic formation is appropriate for the safe long-term storage of radioactive waste and that before making any further approvals of this proposed facility, this scientific data, along with information regarding the alternative sites that were considered, be made available; and
Whereas, Given the proximity and potential impact to many Michigan residents, we urge Canadian and Ontario officials, along with all relevant governmental agencies, to ensure open communication and information sharing with Michigan citizens about this proposal and to possibly consider extending the public comment period; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge Canadian officials to thoroughly review the proposed underground nuclear waste repository in Ontario, Canada including the issues raised herein, and we memorialize the United States Congress to do all it can to see that Michigan’s concerns are fully addressed; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Prime Minister of Canada, the Premier of Ontario, the President of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, the Chairman of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 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 Energy and Technology.
Reps. MacMaster, Franz, McBroom, Somerville, Kelly, Genetski, Daley, Goike, Yonker, VerHeulen, Johnson, Potvin, Rendon, Kosowski and Hooker offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 179.
A resolution to oppose United Nations Agenda 21 and its destructiveness to the founding principles of the United States, and to encourage local governments to be well-informed about the underlying harmful implications of adopting its strategies.
Whereas, United Nations Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of environmental and social engineering that was initiated at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992; and
Whereas, United Nations Agenda 21 is being covertly pushed into local communities throughout the United States through the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives, now known as ICLEI, the Wildlands Network, and local “sustainable development” policies such as Smart Growth, Resilient Cities, and Regional Visioning Projects. The influence of the ICLEI has now infiltrated approximately 500 local and regional entities in the United States, including five communities in Michigan; and
Whereas, The Agenda 21 plan undermines basic principles upon which this country was founded and prospered. It views the American way of life of private property ownership, single family homes, private car ownership, individual travel choices, and privately owned farms as destructive to the environment. It describes social justice as the right and opportunity of all people to benefit equally from the resources afforded us by society and the environment, which would be accomplished by redistribution of wealth; and
Whereas, Neither the federal government, nor any state or local government, is legally bound by United Nations Agenda 21. Furthermore, membership into the United Nations by any local community or local unit of government is unconstitutional. Fifty-four local and regional entities withdrew from ICLEI enrollment in 2011 due to the negative consequences experienced through implementation of Agenda 21; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we oppose United Nations Agenda 21 and its destructiveness to the founding principles of the United States, and encourage local governments to be well-informed about the underlying harmful implications of adopting its strategies; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Municipal League, the Michigan Townships Association, the Michigan Association of Counties, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

(Filed with the Secretary of State June 13, 2013, at 3:57 p.m.)
Explanation of “No” Votes
Rep. Dianda, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of Senate Bill No. 163, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted against Senate Bill 163 because I had serious questions about whether federal Environmental Protection Agency would allow Michigan to continue to regulate its wetlands if this bill becomes law. Michigan’s wetlands are currently regulated the state, not the federal government – and we are one of only two states that has this authority. It is in our best interest to continue regulating our own wetlands. Consider that the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has a turnaround time of 21 days for wetland permit applications; Michigan people and businesses would have to wait far, far longer if they are forced to apply to the EPA. If we had more time to consider the issue, I might have voted in favor – but we were rushed and I did not have the answers I needed to make a decision that was in the best interests of my UP constituents, who live near many wetlands. I also did not like that this bill carves out a special protection for blueberry farmers. That is not the way to make good policy. We need to take the proper time to address the EPA’s concerns and not pass legislation that raises more red flags than it answers.”
Rep. Lamonte, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of Senate Bill No. 163, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted against Senate Bill 163 because our state needs to be able to set and maintain control over our water quality for our citizens and we can’t allow this program to be taken over by the federal government. I fear that the changes in this legislation are not sufficient to address the concerns raised by the EPA and may prompt the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers to take over our state program. We need to take the proper time to address the EPA’s concerns with our program and not pass legislation that raises more red flags than it answers.”
Rep. LaVoy, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of Senate Bill No. 163, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
The purpose of this legislation was to correct deficiencies in the Wetlands program that could result in the program returning to the control of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Unfortunately, there are many changes that could have the opposite effect. Most of the changes have to do with possible non-compliance with Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act. It also could increase costs by requiring the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to do more. Because I believe in retaining state control of the program and decreasing costs, I voted against this legislation.”
