“Most Gracious God, our heavenly Father, we humbly bow before You this day. We come with gratitude even as we invoke Your presence on behalf of this legislative body. We ask for Your presence in order that You would grant to this body of men and women, wisdom as they seek to do those things for the betterment of the citizens of this great state of Michigan. Realizing that their responsibility can be overwhelming, allow them to know that You are with them, and they have but to ask You for guidance. Grant them with the type of wisdom that only comes from You. Give them Your wisdom that is pure without ulterior motive, peace loving that always looks for opportunities for unity, reasonable which is a willingness to consider other points of view, and sincere which is void of any deception. May this wisdom prevail and permeate this session causing it to be productive and a blessing for those they serve. This we ask in the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ, Amen.”

House Resolution No. 42.

A resolution to declare March 2015 as Brain Injury Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Brain injury and specifically, traumatic brain injury (TBI) has become recognized in recent years as one of the most significant chronic disease conditions that can potentially impact nearly every Michigan resident; and

Whereas, 2.5 million Americans sustain a TBI each year that results in over 50,000 deaths; and

Whereas, Each year, 58,500 Michigan residents sustain a traumatic brain injury It is estimated that over 98,000 Michigan residents currently live with disabilities resulting from a TBI; and

Whereas, TBI’s contribute to nearly a third of all injury-related deaths in the United States. This public health concern ranks as the leading cause of death and disability in children and young adults; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan has attained national recognition as a leading center of excellence in the field of brain injury treatment and rehabilitation as a result of the extensive number of rehabilitation centers, medical treatment facilities, care providers, programs, and professionals specializing in brain injury across the state; and

Whereas, Most cases of traumatic brain injury are preventable and enhanced public awareness of traumatic brain injury is essential in injury prevention, the development of effective treatment, and securing necessary resources; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2015 as Brain Injury Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Reps. Kesto and VerHeulen offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 43.

A resolution to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Michigan Court of Appeals.

Whereas, The Michigan Court of Appeals was created by Article VI, section 1, of the Constitution of 1963; and

Whereas, The Court of Appeals began operating on January 12, 1965, when the Michigan Supreme Court transferred 365 cases to the nine original judges on the bench, including Chief Judge T. John Lesinski, Chief Judge Pro Tempore John W. Fitzgerald, and Judges Robert B. Burns, John H. Gillis, Donald E. Holbrook, Thomas Giles Kavanagh, Louis D. McGregor, Timothy C. Quinn, and John D. Watts; and

Whereas, At its opening, the Court of Appeals had 45 staff members, including Clerk of the Court Robert L. Dzierbicki, and had offices located in Lansing, Detroit, and Grand Rapids; and

Whereas, Since its inception, 82 men and women have served on the Court of Appeals bench, 41 of whom have been elected and 41 of whom have been appointed by the Governor. Of these distinguished jurists, 13 judges have gone on to serve on the Michigan Supreme Court and three others have subsequently been appointed to the federal bench; and

Whereas, Dorothy Comstock Riley became the first female member of the Court of Appeals when she was appointed to the bench by Governor William G. Milliken in 1976, and since her appointment, 19 more women have served admirably as judges on the Court of Appeals; and

Whereas, The Court of Appeals has a history of lengthy and dedicated service, with current Judge David H. Sawyer representing the longest term of service on the bench at 28 years, and three staff members, Elizabeth Pyzik, Annie Madigan, and Barbara Buckley, all serving the Court for more than 40 years; and

Whereas, The distinguished judges of the Court of Appeals have been remarkably productive over the Court’s first five decades. During that time, more than 325,000 cases have been filed with the court, resulting in more than 151,700 dispositive opinions, including 28,300 published opinions reported in the 306 volumes of the Michigan Appeals Reports; and

Whereas, Since its inception, the Michigan Court of Appeals has distinguished itself as an innovative institution and its centralized research staff was the first of its kind when Chief Judge T. John Lesinski introduced it in 1968. Since its inception, more than 1,000 attorneys have started their career with the Court and have gone on to distinguished careers as practitioners, judges, justices, and court administrators, making a remarkable impact on Michigan jurisprudence; and

Whereas, The Court has also historically embraced technology, implementing a program to accept electronic case records from lower courts in 2010 and executing a voluntary electronic filing system in 2006, through which over 206,000 documents have been filed in approximately 17,500 cases; and

Whereas, in a 2014 report, the Court was recognized by the National Center for State Courts “as fine an example as we have found of business process discipline in the judicial branch … It is a well-organized, well-run operation that is, to an outsider, quite extraordinary”; and

Whereas, In its first 50 years, the Michigan Court of Appeals has proven to be an august and innovative body comprised of fair-minded and thoughtful jurists that have served the people of Michigan capably and admirably; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Michigan Court of Appeals. We honor the contributions that the Court has made to the State of Michigan and its jurisprudence.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Nesbitt moved that Rule 71 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

______

Rep. Hooker, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I fully agree with what the bill does and it has the strength to allow a cooperation between the locals and the state. The only concern I have is the bill expands the fine from $10,000 to $50,000 which I think that is an excessive increase. I believe doubling or even two and one half increase would be better. That is the only reason I opposed this bill.”
