Senator John M. Proos of the 21st District offered the following invocation:
Heavenly Father, we come to You today as men and women of faith who are entrusted to do Your will as public policymakers charged with establishment of the laws. As we listen to today’s Gospel of Matthew 5:17-19, we hear, “Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.’”
Help each of us to remember, Lord, today and always, that Your commandments are, in fact, our guidepost for eternal life. We pray this prayer in the name of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
The President pro tempore, Senator Schuitmaker, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Whereas, The public is often unable to recognize common seizure types or how to respond with appropriate first aid; and
Whereas, Purple Day will be celebrated on March 26 annually to increase understanding, reduce stigma, and improve the quality of life for people with epilepsy throughout the country and globally; now, therefore, be it

The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,
The concurrent resolution was adopted.
Senators Whitmer and Warren asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Whitmer’s statement is as follows:
I rise to raise some concerns with the manner in which this important issue has been brought before the Senate. First, I don’t believe that anyone looks to the Michigan State Senate for advice on complex multilateral trade negotiations. Additionally, many people have raised a number of concerns with the current TPP negotiations. For example: Will the agreement protect workers and the environment? Will it provide an enforcement mechanism for the currency manipulation that damages the American economy? Will it provide real access to foreign markets in the automotive sector that is so crucial to Michigan’s success? Because these questions remain unanswered, I suggest that this is not the right to time to consider this matter.
Senator Warren’s statement is as follows:
I would also like to add some words of concern about these two concurrent resolutions before us today. Many of you know that I represent the heart of Washtenaw County, the city of Ann Arbor, where many high-tech businesses are located and continue to create many good-paying jobs for our state. There is a lot of concern expressed by those in the technology sector that these types of agreements, including TPP which is before us today, contain unbalanced copyright and innovation policy frameworks. They worry that they threaten high-tech jobs, digital privacy, and freedom on the Internet. They also worry that it is the first step toward Internet censorship and simultaneously pressures ISPs to monitor their users’ activities, eventually making that information public.
So I urge to you to take seriously the recommendation of the vice chair of the committee, and send these two concurrent resolutions back to committee for further consideration before we send them forward today. It does not sound like they have done enough work to make sure we are not hampering the important high-tech jobs that we need here in this state.
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 8.
A concurrent resolution to invite the Republic of China (Taiwan) to enter into a sister-state relationship with the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,
The concurrent resolution was adopted.
