Rev. Dr. Melvin T. Jones, Pastor of Union Missionary Baptist Church in Lansing, offered the following invocation:
“Our Father,
We are grateful for the opportunity to reflect upon an important time in our history; a time when voice was given in 1863 by Abraham Lincoln to emancipate an enslaved people; yet a time not realized until June of 1865 by the citizens of Galveston, Texas. It is our focus on the latter day that brings us together to celebrate what is known as Juneteenth across the nation.
We come before You now as those who have inherited the great legacy of those years, to give thanks for the wisdom of abolitionists and the vision of legislators who saw the possibility of a more perfect union.
We pray that those who sit in the seat of legislative power today, will not only protect the freedoms gained in the past, but will act with equal resistance to any restriction on freedom today; the freedom to vote, the liberty to marry who you love, the opportunity to receive a good public education, the dignity of a decent wage, adequate housing and the security of health care.
Help us to always reflect Your heart in every decision we make to Your glory.
In the name of our Lord, Amen.”

Rep. Nesbitt moved that Rep. Inman be excused from today’s session.

Motions and Resolutions
By unanimous consent the House considered House Resolution No. 114 out of numerical order.
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 114.
A resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for Donald J. Albosta, former member of the House of Representatives.
Whereas, The members of this legislative body were saddened to learn of the passing of former Representative Donald J. Albosta. A tenacious, hard-working, and outspoken advocate for his community and our state, his time with the Michigan House of Representatives was only a small part of a long career in public service; and
Whereas, Born and raised in the Saginaw area, Donald Albosta attended the Saginaw and Chesaning public schools and would go on to attend the Chesaning Agricultural School and Delta College. He proudly fought for our country as a member of the U.S. Navy during World War II, and remained an active member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5695. A farmer by passion and trade, he founded and operated Misteguay Creek Farms. He was also a leader in the agricultural community serving as director of the Saginaw Sugar Beet Growers’ Association and in high-level positions with numerous other agricultural groups; and
Whereas, Donald Albosta loved serving the people of his community. Prior to his election to the Michigan House of Representatives in 1974, he served as an Albee Township trustee and a Saginaw County commissioner. Upon his election to this legislative body, he served two years with vigor and diligence representing parts of Bay and Saginaw counties and applied his vast knowledge and experience to the problems of our state. During that time, he was an effective and hard-working member of the Drainage, Towns and Counties, and Taxation committees as well as co-chairman of the Agriculture Committee; and
Whereas, Representative Albosta’s time in Lansing was short as he would go on to run for congressional office. From 1979 to 1984, he represented the people of the 10th Congressional District and the state of Michigan as a U.S. Representative, becoming the first democrat to represent the area in Congress in over 50 years. His congressional tenure was notable for leading investigations into potential unethical conduct by the 1980 Ronald Reagan presidential campaign. Following his time in our nation’s capital, he would return to farming and his community; and
Whereas, Donald Albosta distinguished himself during his life as a conscientious public servant, a successful farmer, and a loving husband and father. His family may take a small measure of solace in knowing that his meritorious service to our state will not soon be forgotten; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Donald J. Albosta, a member of this legislative body from 1975 to 1976; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Albosta family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.
Reps. Nesbitt, Cox, Faris, Heise, Howrylak, Hughes, LaVoy, Maturen, Pagan, Poleski, Sarah Roberts and Webber offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 110.
A resolution to declare August 2015 as Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) kills more children than any other genetic disease; and
Whereas, SMA causes degeneration in voluntary muscle movement for those impacted by the disease, eventually impacting the ability to walk, sit, crawl, stand, breathe, eat, and even swallow; and
Whereas, One in every 40 people, or nearly 10 million Americans, unknowingly carries the gene responsible for SMA. Few have any known family history; and
Whereas, SMA is a pan-ethnic disease that does not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, or gender; and
Whereas, SMA does not impact the mind. Children with SMA are bright, sensitive, and playful in spite of their failing bodies; and
Whereas, Most children impacted by SMA succumb to the disease before their second birthday; and
Whereas, There is currently no treatment and no cure for SMA, but the National Institutes of Health selected SMA as the disease closest to treatment of more than 600 neurological disorders; and
Whereas, The nation’s leading researchers signed a statement stressing that, with adequate resources, a viable treatment or cure is attainable in as little as five years; and
Whereas, SMA research is considered a “model” approach, with the potential of benefiting millions of people impacted by other diseases, including ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Fragile X, and Tay Sachs, among others; and
Whereas, Increased awareness of SMA will lead to increased knowledge and increased support for both disease research and families affected by the disease, hopefully leading to a cure; and
Whereas, August has been declared as National Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month in order to raise awareness and help promote research into this devastating disease; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare August 2015 as Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We encourage greater awareness and research for this devastating disease.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Rep. Nesbitt moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:
Substitute for House Resolution No. 110.

Whereas, SMA causes degeneration in voluntary muscle movement for those impacted by the disease, eventually impacting the ability to walk, sit, crawl, stand, breathe, eat, and even swallow; and
Whereas, One in every 35 people, or nearly 10 million Americans, unknowingly carries the gene responsible for SMA. Few have any known family history; and
Whereas, SMA is a pan-ethnic disease that does not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, or gender; and
Whereas, SMA does not impact the mind. Children with SMA are bright, sensitive, and playful in spite of their failing bodies; and
Whereas, Most children impacted by SMA succumb to the disease before their second birthday; and
Whereas, There is currently no treatment and no cure for SMA, but the National Institutes of Health selected SMA as the disease closest to treatment of more than 600 neurological disorders; and

House Resolution No. 111.
A resolution to declare July 2015 as Craft Beer Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Michigan craft brewers are a vibrant affirmation and expression of Michigan’s entrepreneurial traditions, operating as community-based small businesses and providing employment for more than 1,000 workers; and
Whereas, Michigan has craft brewers in every region of the state and more than 100 craft brewers statewide; and
Whereas, The Michigan Brewers Guild celebrates Michigan Craft Beer Month each year by hosting a Summer Festival in July; and
Whereas, Craft brewers in Michigan support state agriculture by purchasing hops, wheat, beet sugar, cherries, apples, and numerous other fruits, herbs, and vegetables grown in Michigan; and
Whereas, Michigan craft brewers promote Michigan’s spirit of independence through a renaissance in handcrafted beers like those first brought to Michigan by European settlers and produced here by our forefathers, including Bernhard Stroh, for the enjoyment of the citizenry; and
Whereas, Striving to educate legal drinking-age residents, Michigan craft brewers convey awareness about the differences in beer flavor, aroma, color, alcohol content, body, and other complex variables, as well as historic brewing traditions, beer history, and gastronomic qualities of beer; and
Whereas, Michigan craft brewers champion the message of responsible enjoyment to their customers and work within their communities to prevent alcohol abuse and underage drinking; and
Whereas, Craft brewers in Michigan produce more than 100 distinct styles of flavorful beers, the quality and diversity of which have made Michigan the envy of many states, contributing to balanced trade with increased Michigan exports and promoting Michigan tourism; and
Whereas, Michigan craft brewers have been a successful business model during our state’s economic struggles, thriving and expanding in furthering their economic importance to the state; and
Whereas, Michigan craft brewers are vested in the future, health, and welfare of their communities as employers providing a diverse array of quality local jobs; as contributors to the local tax base; and as committed sponsors of a broad range of vital community institutions and philanthropic causes, including not-for-profit housing development associations, chambers of commerce, humane societies, athletic teams, and medical research; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare July 2015 as Craft Beer Month in the state of Michigan. We recognize the contributions that Michigan craft brewers have made to the state’s communities, economy, and history; and be it further
Resolved, That we commend Michigan craft brewers for providing jobs, improving the balance of trade, supporting Michigan agriculture, and educating residents about the history and culture of beer while promoting the responsible consumption of beer as a beverage of moderation.

A resolution to declare July 11, 2015, as Srebrenica Remembrance Day and July 11-17, 2015, as Bosnia and Herzegovina Tribute Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Both the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives passed resolutions in 2005 acknowledging the genocide that the Serbian forces perpetrated in Srebrenica and all of Bosnia from 1992-1995; and
Whereas, Both the Michigan House of Representatives and the Senate have passed Srebrenica Remembrance Day and Bosnia and Herzegovina Tribute Week resolutions every year since 2009; and
Whereas, July 11, 2015, is commemorated as the 20th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide in which at least 8,372 innocent Bosniak civilians were summarily executed and 30,000 were expelled from their homes in the worst atrocity in Europe since the Holocaust; and
Whereas, This anniversary, together with this year’s 23rd anniversary since the beginning of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, raises awareness of the tragic suffering of the Bosnian people and honors and remembers over 100,000 civilians who died as a result of the policies of ethnic cleansing and aggression in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the period of 1992-1995; and
