God, won’t You grant us the sensitivity to hear Your voice and the courage to follow its instruction; that what we do here today is not for the assuaging of our egos, but would greatly benefit Your kingdom and those of us down here doing Your will. Please pray for those who are cast out—the downtrodden, the poor, the meek—and call us in our hearts to remember the least of these.
These and all other blessings we thank You for in Your mighty Son Jesus’ name. Amen.

Resolutions
Senators Booher, Hansen, Proos and Jansen offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 37.
A resolution to urge the Internal Revenue Service to adopt a formula for determining full-time employment that assumes that adjunct faculty work one hour outside the classroom for each hour that they teach for the purposes of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Whereas, The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’s (ACA’s) employer mandate, requiring that full-time employees receive certain health care benefits, is expected to increase health care costs for institutions of higher education. The impact on community colleges will be particularly difficult because community colleges depend upon adjunct teaching faculty more than any other type of higher education institution; and
Whereas, The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is considering the use of different formulas to determine when adjunct faculty members should be considered full-time employees for the purposes of the ACA. A formula that assumes that faculty work one hour outside the classroom for each hour that they teach provides predictability and ease of administration. The one-to-one ratio most accurately reflects the level of work performed by adjunct teaching faculty; and
Whereas, Some organizations have maintained that the IRS should use a two-to-one ratio and assume that faculty work two hours outside the classroom for each hour taught. This relationship is out of accordance with community college practice and seems to derive from the longstanding assumption that students should study two hours for each hour they are taught. This has nothing to do with faculty effort; and
Whereas, Adjunct faculty are an essential part of the community college educational enterprise. The implementation of the ACA must ensure that these individuals can continue to play this integral role; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we urge the Internal Revenue Service to adopt a formula for determining full-time employment that assumes that adjunct faculty work one hour outside the classroom for each hour that they teach for the purposes of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service.
Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,
Senator Meekhof moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Senator Meekhof moved that the resolution be referred to the Committee on Insurance.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Green was named co‑sponsor of the resolution.
Senator Schuitmaker offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 38.
A resolution to commemorate April 21-27, 2013, as Crime Victims’ Rights Week and reaffirm our commitment to the annual Crime Victims Vigil on April 24, 2013.
Whereas, With the implementation of the crime victim’s rights act in 1985 and the passage of the constitutional amendment in 1988, the state of Michigan has adopted some of the nation’s most comprehensive laws to protect the rights of crime victims. According to the constitutional amendment, crime victims possess the right to be treated with fairness and respect for their dignity and privacy throughout the criminal justice process. All of us must do what we can to adhere not only to the crime victim’s rights laws, but to the spirit of those laws as well. Let us acknowledge that just as government must be open to its citizens, so our system of justice must be open to victims of crime; and
Whereas, Though the state of Michigan continues to make strides in reducing the crime rate, there are still far too many victims of crime. Michigan families reported over five hundred thousand new victims of crime in 2010 alone, and research consistently indicates that less than half of all crimes are reported. The most recent National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey results have estimated that today in Michigan there are over one million survivors of sexual assault. Across the nation, one in three women and one in ten men are identified as survivors of partner and sexual violence. The literally millions of Michigan citizens who have suffered a violation of their person, property, or trust deserve to be treated with dignity and respect by our criminal and juvenile justice systems and by society at-large; and
Whereas, We recognize that our response to crime victims plays an important role in the efforts to rebuild their lives following the offense. Let all of us—policymakers, those in the criminal justice system, counselors, clergy members, and members of the general public—do what we can to respond to victims of crime with compassion and respect; and
Whereas, The national theme for 2013 is “New Challenges, New Solutions.” Let us all strive toward these rights and beyond until we create a world where crime decreases, victimization is reduced, and every victim experiences their constitutional right to be treated with fairness and with respect for their dignity and privacy; and
Whereas, Through public and private efforts, our community has already taken important steps to ensure that our treatment of victims helps them to begin the healing. We gratefully acknowledge the many law enforcement officers, prosecutors, victims service providers, corrections officers, parole and probation officers, counselors, physicians, health care professionals, and the many others whose dedication and service to crime victims helps to lessen trauma and assists in personal recoveries. Let us, in particular, express our appreciation for those victims and survivors of crime who have turned personal tragedy into a motivating force not only to improve the rights and treatment of other victims of crime, but also to build a better, more just community; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we hereby commemorate the week of April 21-27, 2013, as Crime Victims’ Rights Week and reaffirm our commitment to respect and enforce victims’ rights and address their needs with a Crime Victims Vigil on April 24, 2013, at the State Capitol, and throughout the remainder of the year.

Statements
Senators Caswell, Gregory, Bieda and Robertson asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Caswell’s statement is as follows:
I have today for the chamber some rather sobering facts that you might find useful to put in the back of your minds as we move toward completing our budget. In Washington, D.C., both the administration and the Congressional Budget Office have predicated their budgets based upon the fact that this country will have 4 percent growth in the GDP for three years in a row.
Unfortunately, the last time we even had one year of GDP growth of 4 percent was in 1969. I believe we’ve never had three years in a row of 4 percent growth, thus indicating that the budget projections in Washington are completely unrealistic across the board. We should consider that as we move forward with our budget process.
Secondly, this tells you how far we’ve gone. In the year 2000, all government spending at all levels per household was $30,000. Household income was $42,000. Again, all government spending per household was $30,000, and household income was $42,000 in 2000. In 2010, all government spending at all levels was $50,000 per household. Household income was $49,500. So across all levels of government, we are now spending more per household than what that household is making. We should consider these facts soberly and carefully as we move forward with our budget process.
Senator Gregory’s statement is as follows:
It’s with a heavy heart that I announce that a person whom I met a year ago, Ben Davis, passed away just a couple days ago. Ben Davis, most of you probably don’t know anything about him, but yet he is a person who made a lot of history in the state of Michigan. I have a few words that I wanted to say about him.
He graduated from Northern High School in Detroit and launched his professional golf career at the Pine Crest Driving Range in Ferndale in 1936. Ben began teaching golf at Rackham Golf Course in Huntington Woods in 1952 and became a Class A head professional. He taught at Rackham for 50 years and notably held their course record. Ben was also the head pro at Palmer Park Golf Course in Detroit for many years.
Ben was married for 56 years to his lovely wife Ruby. Ben Davis began teaching golf in Michigan in 1936, but it would be 30 years before he would break the color line at the Michigan Professional Golfers’ Association. In 1966, he became the first African American admitted to the Michigan PGA. Ben was also the first African American head pro golfer at a municipal golf course in the country. His determination and perseverance led him to win the Michigan Senior PGA in 1974 and the U.S. National Senior Tournament in Las Vegas in 1979.
Over his illustrious golf career, his many students included boxing legend Joe Louis and Detroit Piston’s Hall of Famer Bob Lanier. Deservingly, he was inducted into the Michigan Golf Hall of Fame in 1992. The Detroit Department of Recreation established the Ben Davis Youth Golf Tournament in 2000 as an inspiration and tribute for his contributions to golf in Michigan.
Truly, Ben Davis is part of that great generation that rose to success despite immense challenges. For me, it’s an honor to speak about Ben Davis and to acknowledge his accomplishments and let my colleagues know something about him. Truly, Ben Davis is a great man and a great Michigander.
A moment of silence was observed in memory of Michigan Golf Hall of Famer Ben Davis.
Senator Bieda’s statement is as follows:
I, too, rise today to honor a recently-departed member of our community. Today I am honoring the life of Macomb County Commissioner Bobby Hill. Commissioner Hill recently passed away at the age of 81. He was born in 1931 into a family of Texas sharecroppers. One of eight children, his lack of financial resources never slowed him down. His participation and activism started out in his teen years, where he quickly progressed in academics and sports. He held school positions such as football captain, choral and band club president, even class president. He wanted his voice to be heard and to be part of making changes happen.
After completing high school, Bobby Hill enlisted in the United States Air Force, where he served for 21 years, retiring as a master sergeant. For the next 20 years, Bobby Hill turned his attention to educating people of all ages, by serving as director of vocational studies and as director of adult education programs for Mount Clemens Community School District. Hill took the vocational program to new heights by requiring students to build houses in Mount Clemens.
Commissioner Hill’s political career started in 1979, when he won a seat on the Mount Clemens City Commission. He served 11 years on the City Commission until 1990, when he was elected to the Macomb County Board of Commissioners. Hill served as a county commissioner through 2006, when he was involved in a near-fatal car collision, health issues being the only thing that curtailed his dedication to the community.
Commissioner Hill was the first and lone African-American county commissioner, and he has plenty of what the elders in our community call fire in the belly and what some others might call the right stuff, but his style was to keep his powder dry until the very last minute. Commissioner Hill was sure to be involved to the fullest while he was in office. He participated in a number of educational, religious, and community organizations. He is well-known for his dedication and how much he cared about bettering the community for all individuals.
May Commissioner Hill’s family find comfort in their faith and their memories of this fine man and his very distinguished career. Please join me in graciously remembering the life and work that Commissioner Bobby Hill has done for Macomb County and for the state of Michigan.
A moment of silence was observed in memory of Macomb County Commissioner Bobby Hill.
Senator Robertson’s statement is as follows:
As many of you may already know, my chief of staff, Jonathan Farley, passed away yesterday after a long battle with cancer. Jon has been my friend since 2004 when we first met. There are really no words to adequately express how much Jon meant to me and how much he will be missed.
I want to take this opportunity to once again thank all of my colleagues and staff here in the Senate, everyone in the House, and everyone in the greater capital community for the kindness, generosity, and support that they have shown to Erika, me, my staff, and our entire office; also the support that you have given to Jon and his two children Theodore and Amelia.
I know that from the moment that Jon became aware of his affliction, he fought hard every day of his life to remain alive and be with the people he loved—Erika and his children. They were the center of his life. They were everything that mattered to him. Jon was a passionate man, and his greatest passions were for Erika and his children. He fought bravely in his fight, and as I say, he was my friend and I loved him. I loved Jon Farley. I love Erika, Theodore, and Amelia.
I thank you again and ask that your thoughts and prayers continue to be with Erika and the children in the days and weeks and months ahead. Thank you for loving Jon with me. Thank you for everything.
A moment of silence was observed in memory of Senate employee Jonathan Farley.
