Whereas, Conflict resolution is taught and practiced by citizens in many school systems, community colleges, universities, law schools, graduate programs throughout Michigan, and the world as a way of solving disputes and as a means toward achieving a more peaceful society; and
Whereas, Community-based programs fairly and equitably resolve neighborhood and community conflicts, thereby strengthening local relationships and relieving the parties and the courts of costly litigation; and
Whereas, Michigan 1988 PA 260, known as the Community Dispute Resolution Act, authorized the establishment of Community Dispute Resolution Centers throughout Michigan under the oversight and administration of the Michigan Supreme Court; and
Whereas, The State Court Administrative Office, Office of Dispute Resolution supports and oversees 18 centers throughout the state which provide conciliation, mediation, and other forms of alternative dispute resolution to Michigan citizens, schools, and businesses; and
Whereas, For the past 25 years, thousands of professionals and volunteers have served as mediators, facilitators, and conciliators in a variety of situations, resulting in less time and expense to reach mutually satisfactory solutions; and
Whereas, Recognition of these efforts provides an opportunity for increased public understanding of peaceful and constructive ways to resolve interpersonal and intergroup conflicts of all types; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body commemorate October 15, 2015, as Dispute Resolution Day in Michigan and congratulate the Community Dispute Resolution Program on 25 years of service to the citizens of Michigan. We encourage all citizens to acknowledge the value of alternative dispute resolution methods to resolve disputes and to support the availability and use of alternative dispute resolution services throughout Michigan; and be it further

Senate Resolution No. 63.
A resolution to commemorate May 24-30, 2015, as Invisible Illness Awareness Week
Whereas, An invisible illness is a chronic condition that is not easily observed by the general public and is often not readily detected by medical professionals. Examples include lupus, fibromyalgia, interstitial cystitis, rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitis, Crohn’s disease, and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, among others. These illnesses can be debilitating and prevent a person from performing traditional everyday activities; and
Whereas, Invisible illnesses aren’t easily identified. A person with an invisible illness may feel judged by others or feel as though others simply do not understand what they are going through. A person with a chronic condition may be dealing with exhaustion, constant aches or pains, dizziness, or cognitive impairments, and yet may appear to be completely healthy on the outside; and
Whereas, About 10 percent of Americans have medical conditions which could be considered an invisible illness. Nearly 1 in 2 Americans has a chronic medical condition of one kind or another. Ninety-six percent of people with chronic medical conditions live with an ailment that is invisible. About a quarter of them have some type of activity limitation, ranging from mild to severe; and
Whereas, The onset or duration of an invisible illness can negatively affect a person’s physical, emotional, economic, educational, and social well-being due to activity limitations; and
Whereas, There is a need for increased awareness about invisible illnesses to create a more accepting and understanding world for those who suffer; and
Whereas, The theme of this year’s Invisible Illness Awareness Week is “Everybody Knows Somebody,” because of the widespread scope of the illnesses; and
Whereas, The purpose of Invisible Illness Awareness Week is to increase understanding of invisible illnesses among the general public and medical community, while reducing the stigma surrounding the illnesses, in order to create an environment in which there is better care, earlier and more accurate diagnosis, and knowledge that invisible illness patients can lead a healthy life; and
Whereas, We join with the many individuals who are afflicted by these disorders and support increased awareness of invisible illnesses; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we hereby commemorate May 24-30, 2015, as Invisible Illness Awareness Week in the state of Michigan.
Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,
Senator Kowall moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
The resolution was adopted.
Senator Meekhof asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Meekhof’s statement is as follows:
With this resolution, Senate Resolution No. 63, the Michigan Senate would like to recognize May 24-30 as Invisible Illness Awareness Week. With me, I have Senator Hertel and Katie Dama Jaskolski, president and co-founder of the Life as a Zebra Foundation. An invisible illness is a chronic condition that is not easily observed by the general public and is often not readily detected by medical professionals. About 10 percent of Americans have medical conditions which could be considered an invisible illness. Some examples are lupus, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and Crohn’s disease, and this is just to name a few.
The Michigan Senate joins with the many individuals who are afflicted by these disorders to support increased awareness of invisible illnesses.
Senators Nofs, Schuitmaker, Colbeck, Knezek and Jones offered the following concurrent resolution:
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 15.
A concurrent resolution to waive the legislative notice requirement for increases in rates of compensation for certain employees in the state classified service.
Whereas, The Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 provides in Article XI, Section 5:
“Increases in rates of compensation authorized by the commission may be effective only at the start of a fiscal year and shall require prior notice to the governor, who shall transmit such increases to the legislature as part of his budget. The legislature may, by a majority vote of the members elected to and serving in each house, waive the notice and permit increases in rates of compensation to be effective at a time other than the start of a fiscal year.”
; and
Whereas, As a result of recently completed negotiations, a settlement has been reached on a three-year contract between the state and the Michigan State Police Troopers Association regarding compensation and other terms and conditions of employment. This settlement, which will be effective for fiscal year 2014-2015 and fiscal year 2015-2016, was reached past the time when the governor could transmit the increase as part of the budget; and
Whereas, The State Personnel Director, with the consent of the chair of the Civil Service Commission, granted interim approval of the collective bargaining agreement on May 15, 2015; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That, pursuant to Article XI, Section 5 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963, the Michigan Legislature waives the prior notice requirement to permit increases in rates of compensation for certain members of the Department of State Police as set in the contract settled between the Michigan State Police Troopers Association and the state and the Civil Service Commission; and be it further

The question being on concurring in the committee recommendation to give the bill immediate effect,
The recommendation was concurred in, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor.
Pursuant to Joint Rule 20, the full title of the act shall be inserted to read as follows:
“An act to protect the welfare of the people of this state; to provide general assistance, hospitalization, infirmary and medical care to poor or unfortunate persons; to provide for compliance by this state with the social security act; to provide protection, welfare and services to aged persons, dependent children, the blind, and the permanently and totally disabled; to administer programs and services for the prevention and treatment of delinquency, dependency and neglect of children; to create a state department of social services; to prescribe the powers and duties of the department; to provide for the interstate and intercounty transfer of dependents; to create county and district departments of social services; to create within certain county departments, bureaus of social aid and certain divisions and offices thereunder; to prescribe the powers and duties of the departments, bureaus and officers; to provide for appeals in certain cases; to prescribe the powers and duties of the state department with respect to county and district departments; to prescribe certain duties of certain other state departments, officers, and agencies; to make an appropriation; to prescribe penalties for the violation of the provisions of this act; and to repeal certain parts of this act on specific dates,”.
The Senate agreed to the full title.
Senators Johnson and Young asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Johnson’s statement is as follows:
This amendment removes the full family sanction on members of an FIP assistance group. While I understand the sponsor’s goal of promoting responsible parenting and reducing absenteeism, I just find it to be too severe to punish an entire family for the actions of one child. With my amendment, only the truant child would be taken off the FIP, resulting in a reduction of cash assistance rather than a full revocation of family benefits.
Let’s consider a single mom with three kids ages 7, 10, and 15. The 7- and 10-year-olds have good attendance, yet the 15-year-old has been repeatedly missing in acts of adolescent defiance, which we know is a phase that many young people go through as they transition into early adulthood. Under this legislation as currently written, the needs of both the 7- and 10-year-old kids would be put into jeopardy because of the actions of their older sibling. I just fundamentally take issue with that, as should all of you who have children.
As politicians, we constantly love to boast about being about the children. Let’s not kid ourselves on this one. If we pass this legislation as currently written, it will, in fact, harm children in this state. I ask for your support of this amendment.
Senator Young’s first statement is as follows:
My amendment says that cash assistance cannot be terminated if there were less than 21 days until the end of the school year. According to the Bridges Eligibility Manual, families can reapply for assistance once the child is in school for 21 consecutive calendar days. What happens if the family has their assistance revoked at the end of the school year? Summer school is not an option for every student, and a family shouldn’t have to wait an entire summer to reapply for benefits.
Furthermore, since attendance requirements vary by district, a child simply being tardy for school in the last 21 days of the school year could prevent the entire family from receiving benefits for an entire summer. Cash assistance is the lifeline for these children. I don’t even want to think about the difficulties these families will face if they have to wait over three months just to reapply.
Mr. President, this amendment is common sense. Let’s make common sense reign in this Capitol for once. I ask for your support of this amendment.
Senator Young’s second statement is as follows:
My amendment says that as a condition of passing this legislation, we remove the 48-month cap that was implemented on cash assistance. Furthermore, Governor Snyder signed legislation that removed some of the exemptions that were the result of the major compromise between Democrats and Republicans in 2006 to the time limit in 2011 when additional legislation was passed regarding the 48-month cap.
I see a trend in this Legislature to continually try to make it more difficult for poor families to have a safety net, and, moreover, punishing them for being poor. If we are going to make it more difficult for families to be on assistance by codifying this truancy policy, then the least we can do is remove the cap that has caused hardship for so many families.
I ask for your support of this amendment.
