Rev. Dr. Robert Braman, Pastor of First Congregational Church UCC in St. Joseph, offered the following invocation:
“Holy God,
We gather under the umbrella of a power that is greater than ourselves. And what power! It is a power best sensed when we are humble, but humility is not always our strong suit. And for good reason! Humility sometimes suggests vulnerability, and countless people and forces are always ready to take advantage of us if they sense weakness.
But that is not the humility we seek or pray for. It is humility that constantly reminds us that there is something here, in this world, and in the work that each person here is called to, that is greater than each of us, greater than all of us combined.
I pray that You would pour out that power-laden humility on each and everyone in this place, not just this day but every day, not just for today’s business but for everyday’s business. And reawaken in each of us— all the leaders assembled here and all of us who are blessed to be citizens of this land who depend so much upon their work— reawaken in each of us the fact that the best business is accomplished, and the best relationships are fostered, when we think, talk, listen, debate, disagree, and make decisions guided by the spirit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
A large request, God, for people with a very large mission.
Bless them all, bless us all, with humility and power. Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Segal, Zemke, Faris, Franz, Driskell, Brown, Barnett, Darany, Denby, Durhal, Geiss, Heise, Howrylak, Kelly, Price, Roberts, Santana, Singh and Slavens offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 219.
A resolution to declare September 2013 as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Thousands of children under the age of 15 are diagnosed with pediatric cancer every year; and
Whereas, Over the past 20 years, there has been some increase in the incidence of children diagnosed with all forms of invasive cancer; and
Whereas, Cancer is still the leading cause of death by disease for American children, despite significant advances in treatment that have resulted in a cure or long-term remission for a substantial proportion of children with cancer; and
Whereas, Children’s cancer affects all ethnic, gender, and socio-economic groups; and
Whereas, The causes of childhood cancer are still largely unknown; and
Whereas, Over the past few years, we have made great strides in the fight against pediatric cancer. With significant advances in treatment over the last 30 years, the combined 5-year survival rate for children with cancer increased by more than 20 percentage points; and
Whereas, Increased awareness, support, and study may help to further improve these statistics and further protect our children from these serious diseases; and
Whereas, We should renew our commitment to curing childhood cancer and offer our support to the brave young people who are fighting this disease; and
Whereas, To honor the memory of every young person lost to cancer, we must unite behind improved treatment, advanced research, and brighter futures for young people everywhere; and
Whereas, All children deserve the chance to dream, discover, and realize their full potential; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 2013 as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That this month, and every month, we extend our support to young people fighting for that opportunity and recognize all who commit themselves to advancing toward the goal of a cancer-free world.

The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Howrylak, Denby, Kelly, Victory, Franz, Barnett, Lauwers, Callton, Brown, Darany, Durhal, Geiss, Heise, Price, Roberts, Santana, Singh and Slavens offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 220.
A resolution to declare October 2013 as Filipino-American Heritage Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, We are proud to join with the Filipino-American community of Michigan as they celebrate contributions they have made throughout the entire state. This recognition is a reflection of unselfishness and commitment to the common good that is most commendable; and
Whereas, It is with pride and gratitude that we welcome this opportunity to salute the many ways in which the Filipino-American community has given its time and energy for the betterment of our state; and
Whereas, The Filipino-American community of Michigan continues to foster understanding through the development, promotion, and preservation of Filipino values, culture, and tradition. These concerned citizens have truly made a difference, and their professional and civic involvement will continue to enrich our state; and
Whereas, The members of the Filipino American community give to the American people and to the citizens of Michigan a very important gift of a rich culture based on traditional values of family, religion, and a strong work ethic. A strong political, cultural, and economic bond exists between us as a result and is cemented by the mutual respect and admiration we have for one another; and
Whereas, The heritage of the Filipino people enriches our own culture, for America is a melting pot and America’s culture is a rich blend of many cultures. This legislative body welcomes the heritage, culture, and contributions of the Filipino-American community to our state and our nation; and
Whereas, Like their counterparts across the country, the Filipino-American community in Michigan is committed to strengthening the public institutions that promote the cultural heritage of Filipinos, as well as eliminating prejudices, stereotypes, and ignorance. By promoting awareness of Filipino-American contributions to social, economic, cultural, and political life in the United States, everyone can take great pride in their effective community service; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 2013 as Filipino-American Heritage Month in the state of Michigan. We thank the Filipino-American community for their many contributions that enhance our quality of life in Michigan and we encourage all citizens to do the same.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Rep. Shirkey moved that consideration of the resolution be postponed for the day.
The motion prevailed.

House Resolution No. 221.
A resolution to declare September 2013 as Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, More than 22,000 women were diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2012; and
Whereas, In 2012, 15,000 women died from ovarian cancer; and
Whereas, Ovarian cancer has a five-year survival rate of 93 percent if found before spreading outside the ovary, but only 19 percent of ovarian cancers are found at such an early stage; and
Whereas, No ovarian cancer screening test currently exists and women must be aware of the signs and symptoms in order to protect themselves; and
Whereas, The symptoms commonly associated with ovarian cancer are bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, urinary urgency or frequency, and difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, and all women should be aware of these symptoms; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 2013 as Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Announcements by the Clerk
The Clerk received the following dissent on House Bill Nos. 4694, 4695, 4696 and 4697, 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.
______
Rep. Heise moved that the House adjourn.
The motion prevailed, the time being 1:50 p.m.
Associate Speaker Pro Tempore O’Brien declared the House adjourned until Tuesday, September 24, at 1:30 p.m.
