I hope that You will allow a spirit of humility and respect to be present here as decisions are made that will directly influence the direction of this government. We thank You that You are merciful and full of grace. I ask that You help us to be filled with those attributes as well. You have placed this group of people here to accomplish the task of making things better for those they serve, I pray that they will not lose sight of their duty to their families, their neighbors, and our state. We thank You for Your blessings and acknowledge Your goodness to us. Bless this body with wisdom, this state with grace and we thank You for it all. In Christ name, Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Cole, Heise, Hooker, Howrylak, Hughes and LaVoy offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 230.
A resolution to declare March 5-12, 2016, as Agriculture Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Each year, states across the nation recognize March as a time to celebrate the importance of food and agriculture as a significant contributor to the national economy; and
Whereas, As part of that celebration, Governor Rick Snyder has proclaimed March as Food and Agriculture Month in Michigan; and
Whereas, The Michigan food and agriculture industry contributes $101.2 billion annually to the state’s economy; and
Whereas, Michigan’s food and agriculture sector is one of the most diverse in the country with over 51,000 farms, 99 percent of which are family-owned, farming nearly 10 million acres of farmland and commercially producing more than 300 food and agricultural commodities. The state ranks first in the production of dry black and cranberry beans, begonias, blueberries, tart cherries, pickling cucumbers, Easter lilies, geraniums, low-fat ice cream mix, impatiens, petunias, and squash. We are a major dairy state and rank in the top 10 nationally for the production of apples, sugar beets, potatoes, and grapes. The industry supports farm markets across the state, produces hops that have helped to grow more than 135 breweries and has long supported the more than 120 wineries that call the Great Lakes State home; and
Whereas, Michigan’s food and agriculture system supports more than 920,000 jobs, roughly 22 percent of the state’s workforce; and
Whereas, One in every three rows of Michigan field crops is exported with a total value of $1.75 billion. The state’s top three export destinations are Canada, Mexico, and Japan; and
Whereas, Food processing is a large contributor to the state’s economy. Michigan is home to approximately 2,000 licensed food processors who employ more than 30,000 residents and generate nearly $25 billion in economic activity; and
Whereas, Michigan is home to the nation’s pioneer land-grant university, Michigan State University, where the Colleges of Agriculture and Natural Resources and Veterinary Medicine in partnership with the industry and the Michigan Department of Agriculture & Rural Development provide research, education, and support for the growth of production agriculture and agribusiness; and
Whereas, The month of March celebrates National Agricultural Week and Michigan State University hosts the State FFA Convention as well as Agriculture and Natural Resources Week, and Secretary of State Ruth Johnson has formed a 2014 partnership with Michigan FFA in promoting Agricultural Heritage License Plates; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of the Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 5-12, 2016, as Agriculture Week in the state of Michigan. We encourage all citizens to recognize and celebrate this momentous occasion.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Agriculture.
Rep. Nesbitt moved that Rule 71 be suspended.
The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.
Reps. Sarah Roberts, Yanez, Faris, Canfield, Bizon, Howrylak, Inman, Darany, Greig, Cochran, Hughes, LaVoy, Moss, Pagan and Schor offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 231.
A resolution to declare February 29, 2016, as Rare Disease Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, There are nearly 7,000 diseases and conditions considered rare (each affecting fewer than 200,000 Americans) in the United States, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH); and
Whereas, While each of these diseases may affect small numbers of people, rare diseases as a group affect almost 30 million Americans; and
Whereas, While more than 450 drugs and biologics have been approved for the treatment of rare diseases according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), millions of Americans still have rare diseases for which there is no approved treatment; and
Whereas, Individuals and families affected by rare diseases often experience problems such as diagnosis delay, difficulty finding a medical expert, and lack of access to treatments or ancillary services; and
Whereas, While the public is familiar with some rare diseases, many patients and families affected by less widely known rare diseases bear a large share of the burden of funding research and raising public awareness to support the search for treatments; and
Whereas, According to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, nearly one in 10 Americans have rare diseases, two-thirds of which are children; and
Whereas, The National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) is organizing a nationwide observance of Rare Disease Day on February 29, 2016; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, that the members of this legislative body declare February 29, 2016, as Rare Disease Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

The resolution was adopted.

Explanation of “No” Votes
Rep. Chirkun, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of House Bill No. 5219, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Thank you Mr. Speaker:
I rise in opposition to House Bill 5219. I urge my colleagues to do the same.
This bill does not solve the concerns local governments have raised. House Bill 5219 is still vague and open ended, and will result in more confusion and litigation. It continues to provide a chilling effect on elected officials and limits what they can say. For example, if an elected official in a mailer says if the public safety millage is not renewed, then the public safety of that community is at risk. The failure of this millage reduces funding for public safety that would result in cuts. This is a factual statement but yet some may construe this as leading a voter towards a certain outcome. Who is to say what is fact and what is leading. This bill does not define what the criteria or formula as a baseline to make this determination. Is it putting a 100 people in a room and having 51 percent of them determining whether something is factual or leading?
Let me reflect on how we got here. For many years, the state has been disinvesting from our local communities through cuts in revenue sharing. This year, the Governor proposed a modest increase in revenue sharing but it is unclear if this will be enacted. It does not come close to what has been lost over the years. As a result, locals have been left to their own devices and have had to rely on millages to fund important city services. Schools have used millages as well. The law before the enactment of Public Act 269 late last year was working fine. But we had an interest group come in at the 11th hour and make changes to a bill that would tip the scales in their favor. For many years and especially since I first got to Lansing, local control has been chipped away at and limited. This time the local cities and school districts fought back and won in court. One of the cities I represent was the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit. Let’s save tax dollars and keep this out of the court system.
I urge my colleagues to not only oppose this bill but support a full restoration to the way the law was which prevented them from advocating for a position but allowed them to present the facts of a ballot question.
Either we fund our cities, townships and schools or stay the heck out of their elections. I urge a no vote on this bill. Thank you Mr. Speaker.”
