Let the light of Your wisdom direct the deliberations of this House and shine forth in all the proceedings and laws framed for our rule and government. May the members of this House seek to preserve the Common Good and the human dignity of all as they discharge their duties with honesty and ability. We likewise commend to Your unbounded mercy all citizens of this great state of Michigan that we may be blessed in the knowledge of Your Holy Law and in the goodness of this life and be finally admitted to the blessings which are eternal. We pray to You, who are Lord and God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Amen.”
Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Webber, Cox, Crawford, Driskell, Faris, Heise, Hoadley, Hovey-Wright, Hughes, LaVoy, Leutheuser, Maturen, Schor and Yanez offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 65.
A resolution to declare April 29, 2015, as International Guide Dog Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, International Guide Dog Day is April 29, 2015; and
Whereas, This day celebrates the importance of guide dogs and how they help the blind and visually impaired live their daily lives; and
Whereas, The crucial work they do is recognized by everyone, and on International Guide Dogs Day, lots of people like to go out of their way to honor and express their gratitude to these dogs who have impacted the lives of so many; and
Whereas, Each year International Guide Dog Day encourages citizens to remember the importance of guide dogs, and how they are amongst the most phenomenal animals on the planet, and the difference they make to the lives of those without sight simply cannot be overstated; and
Whereas, Michigan citizens are encouraged to take action and join with millions of people from all over the world who will take part in International Guide Dog Day; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 29, 2015, as International Guide Dog Day in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Sarah Roberts, Yanez, Canfield, Faris, Liberati, Darany, Townsend, Driskell, Phelps, Chirkun, LaVoy, Wittenberg, Plawecki, Smiley, Byrd, Geiss, Hoadley, Pagel, Bizon, Muxlow, Crawford, Derek Miller, Lucido, Chang, Heise, Hovey‑Wright and Pagan offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 66.
A resolution to memorialize the United States Congress to oppose the construction of an underground nuclear waste repository in Ontario, Canada and to urge Canadian officials to find alternatives to Ontario Power Generation’s proposal to bury nuclear waste in the Great Lakes basin.
Whereas, Ontario Power Generation is proposing to construct an underground long-term burial facility for all of Ontario’s low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste—some of which is highly radioactive and much of which will remain toxic for over 100,000 years—at the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station. This site, less than a half mile inland from the shore of Lake Huron and about 440 yards below the lake level, is approximately 120 miles upstream from the main drinking water intakes for Southeast Michigan; and
Whereas, Lake Huron and the other Great Lakes are critically important resources to both the United States and Canada. The Great Lakes contain 95 percent of North America’s surface fresh water, providing drinking water to tens of millions of people. Pristine water is important not only for public health but also for agriculture, commercial and sport fishing, boating, recreation, and tourism in Michigan and throughout the region. These industries are all important components of the Great Lakes economy; and
Whereas, The threat of radioactive water could be devastating to Michigan’s tourism and agriculture industries. Roughly 96 million travelers come to Michigan each year, and many potential tourists may be discouraged from a trip to the Great Lakes, creating severe economic hardship for the state’s vast tourist destinations. Michigan’s agriculture industry, which adds more than $91.4 billion to the state economy annually, is dependent on Great Lakes water for irrigation. Polluted water used for irrigation could contaminate agricultural crops and livestock in the state and cause serious harm to the well-being of the general public; and
Whereas, Placing a permanent nuclear waste burial facility so close to the Great Lakes is ill-advised. The potential damage to the Great Lakes from any leak or breach of radioactivity far outweighs any benefits that could be derived from burying radioactive waste at this site. The ecology of the Lakes, which is valuable beyond measure to the health and economic well-being of this entire region, should not be placed at risk by storing radioactive waste so close to the shoreline; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the United States Congress to oppose the construction of an underground nuclear waste repository in Ontario, Canada; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge Canadian officials to find alternatives to Ontario Power Generation’s proposal to bury nuclear waste in the Great Lakes basin; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, the Chairman of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Canadian Prime Minister, the Premier of Ontario, and the President of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Energy Policy.
Reps. Kesto, Derek Miller, Sheppard, Driskell, Faris, Heise, Hoadley, Hovey-Wright, LaVoy, Maturen, Schor and Yanez offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 67.
A resolution to declare May 2015 as Community Action Agency Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Citizens with limited income continue to need opportunities to improve their lives and their living conditions, thus ensuring that all citizens are able to live in dignity; and
Whereas, Michigan and the entire United States must continue to promote economic security by providing support and opportunities for all citizens in need of assistance; and
Whereas, Community action agencies were signed into law in 1964 under President Lyndon Johnson in effort to aid in the War on Poverty, making 2015 the 51st year of community action in the United States; and
Whereas, The month of May has been designated by the United States Congress as National Community Action Month; and
Whereas, Michigan’s 29 community action agencies are the only community-based organizations providing full wrap around, locally directed services in all 83 counties in the state; and
Whereas, Michigan community action agencies served 75,623 Michigan residents in 2014 by providing early childhood education, Head Start, senior services, affordable housing, food assistance, energy assistance, financial literacy classes, and job training programs among other services; and
Whereas, 4,843 children improved their health and physical development through community nutrition programs, 15,963 residents received assistance on tax prep and refunds, 7,907 seniors maintained independent living situations, and 19,927 individuals were connected with other necessary assistance service providers and programs; and
Whereas, Community action agencies, in cooperation with the Michigan Department of Human Services, have successfully administered weatherization assistance program funds which has supported energy efficiency improvements; and
Whereas, Michigan’s community action agencies have leveraged their federal allocation of the Community Services Block Grant and other federal, state, local, and private sources of funding to foster economic activity statewide; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2015 as Community Action Agency Month in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Community Action Agency Association.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.

House Concurrent Resolution No. 10.
A concurrent resolution to memorialize the United States Congress to oppose the construction of an underground nuclear waste repository in Ontario, Canada and to urge Canadian officials to find alternatives to Ontario Power Generation’s proposal to bury nuclear waste in the Great Lakes basin.
Whereas, Ontario Power Generation is proposing to construct an underground long-term burial facility for all of Ontario’s low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste—some of which is highly radioactive and much of which will remain toxic for over 100,000 years—at the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station. This site, less than a half mile inland from the shore of Lake Huron and about 440 yards below the lake level, is approximately 120 miles upstream from the main drinking water intakes for Southeast Michigan; and

Reps. Guerra and Geiss, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Today I voted against the omnibus education budget, HB 4115, because it favors charter and cyber school students over students attending traditional public schools, strips funding from at-risk students who live in poverty, and does not allocate nearly enough funding to colleges and universities.”
Rep. Greig, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted against the omnibus education budget, HB 4115, because it favors charter and cyber school students over students attending traditional public schools, strips funding from at-risk students who live in poverty, and does not allocate nearly enough funding to colleges and universities. We need to fairly and adequately fund our local schools to sustain our communities and prepare our young people for college and career.

Explanation of “No” Votes
Rep. Cochran, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of House Bill No. 4102, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted against the Omnibus Budget, House Bill 4102, because it does not meet our constitutional obligation to give Michigan taxpayers a balanced budget. It does not fully fund a Healthy Michigan and potentially jeopardizes federal resources. It also cuts revenues sharing and reduces funding to programs that help our most vulnerable populations. HB 4102 requires much more work before I would be able to support it.”
