Rev. Ted D. Kerr, III, Pastor of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Ida, offered the following invocation:

“Gracious God:

As we come before You on this All Hallows Eve, we are mindful that for many these are scary times. There are those frightened by the economic struggles they face. There are those terrified by the injustice, unfairness, and inequality they deal with each and every day. There are those afraid of what each new day brings as they struggle to make ends meet.

We pray for our elected leaders who are also frightened by the daunting tasks before them. Grant them wisdom, grant them courage, and grant them humility in their service. Keep them ever mindful of the fears those they represent must deal with, as they strive to pass laws that benefit all the residents of our state.

Finally we pray for Your direction O God, in all we do. And we give thanks for the blessings we have already received at Your hand. May we use them with purpose and for the benefit of all.

In Your Most Holy name we pray.

AMEN.”

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Lori, Barnett, Brown, Darany, Denby, Haines, Kosowski, LaVoy, O’Brien, Poleski, Roberts, Segal and Slavens offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 257.

A resolution to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Community Mental Health Act by President John F. Kennedy.

Whereas, The Community Mental Health act laid the foundation for significant social change by allowing for the creation of community mental health centers, which drastically altered the delivery of mental health services across the United States; and

Whereas, The Community Mental Health Act symbolized a new era of delivering care to millions of Americans in need by ending the nightmare of isolating to institutions those citizens struggling with developmental, intellectual, and mental health diagnoses; and

Whereas, President Kennedy ordered federal, state, and local organizations to focus on seeking out the cause of these illnesses to better work toward their elimination, to strengthen resources and knowledge of skilled people to support those in need, and to strengthen and improve programs and facilities serving these individuals; and

Whereas, This charge sparked action to allow individuals to live with proper support within their own communities; and

Whereas, In the years since the Community Mental Health Act was signed into law, the number of Americans with intellectual disabilities who live in large state-run institutions has declined by 85 percent. In fact, the State of Michigan’s last institution for persons with developmental disabilities closed in 2009; and

Whereas, Michigan was one of the first states in the nation to begin the shift from institutionalization to community-based care; and

Whereas, Michigan now has 46 different community mental health services programs and hundreds of provider organizations that serve as gatekeepers of the public mental health system and provide assistance to residents in all 83 counties in our state. These organizations provide a comprehensive range of community-based mental health services that enhance quality of life, promote emotional well-being, and contribute to healthy and secure communities for all of Michigan’s citizens; and

Whereas, Mental health must remain at the forefront of policy discussions among Michigan lawmakers; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Community Mental Health Act by President John F. Kennedy. We renew our commitment to improving mental healthcare access for the citizens of this state as we continue our work in the Michigan Legislature.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Rep. Lori moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:

Substitute for House Resolution No. 257.

Reps. Stamas, Barnett, Brown, Crawford, Darany, Denby, Haines, Hooker, Howrylak, Kosowski, LaVoy, O’Brien, Poleski, Roberts, Segal and Slavens offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 258.

A resolution to declare November 2013 as Adoption Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Children thrive in loving families where they are nurtured, comforted, and protected; and

Whereas, Michigan recognizes the valuable contributions of individuals who travel the rewarding journey of adoption by providing love, guidance, and hope for children whose lives have been filled with change and uncertainty; and

Whereas, Michigan is committed to working as a partner with social service agencies, organizations in communities, and child advocates to help recruit and support adoptive families who make a difference in developing positive outcomes for our children; and

Whereas, Finding nurturing permanent homes for waiting children is an objective Michigan works toward throughout the year; and

Whereas, During Adoption Awareness Month, special efforts are made to instill a greater perception of the need for adoptive families; and

Whereas, Throughout November, communities across the nation observe National Adoption Month to raise awareness and encourage citizens to become involved in the lives of these youth as adoptive parents, volunteers, or mentors; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare November 2013 as Adoption Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We urge all citizens of our state to observe this occasion and recognize the importance of adoption in order to honor those who provide children with a loving home.

The resolution was adopted.
