Bishop Eric Lloyd, Pastor of Rhema International Ministries in Detroit, offered the following invocation:
“Father I thank You for this opportunity to stand before Your people to offer up a word of prayer.
I pray for these Untied States of America but especially the great state of Michigan. We need You like never before. Please cover our spiritual and political leaders.
As I close out this prayer I want say. Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
Your Kingdom come,
Your will be done,
on earth as in heaven
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom,
the power and the glory are Yours.
Now and forever in Jesus name.
Amen.”

Reps. Aaron Miller, Canfield, Crawford, Heise, Hoadley, Howrylak, Kelly, Lauwers, LaVoy, Maturen, Poleski, Potvin, Price, Webber and Whiteford offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 276.
A resolution to declare April 28, 2016, as Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The Take Our Daughters To Work Day program was created in New York City as a response to research that showed that by the 8th grade, many girls were dropping out of school, had low self-esteem, and lacked confidence; and
Whereas, In 2003, the name of the program was changed to “Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work Day” so that boys who face many of the same challenges as girls could also be involved in the program; and
Whereas, The mission of the program, to develop “innovative strategies that empower girls and boys to overcome societal barriers to reach their full potential,” now fully reflects the addition of boys; and
Whereas, In 2007, the program transitioned to Elizabeth City, North Carolina, became its own foundation known as the Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work Foundation, and received national recognition for the dedication of the Foundation to future generations; and
Whereas, The Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work Foundation, a nonprofit organization, has grown to become one of the largest public awareness campaigns, with more than 37,400,000 participants annually in more than 3,000,000 organizations and workplaces in every state; and
Whereas, Every year, mayors, governors, and other private and public officials sign proclamations and lend their support to Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work; and
Whereas, The fame of the Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work program has spread overseas, with requests and inquiries being made from around the world on how to operate the program; and
Whereas, Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day will be observed in workplaces around the country on Thursday, April 28, 2016; and
Whereas, Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work is intended to continue helping millions of girls and boys on an annual basis through experienced activities and events to examine their opportunities and strive to reach their fullest potential: now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 28, 2016, as Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work Day in the state of Michigan. We recognize the goals of introducing our daughters and sons to the workplace and commend all the participants in Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work for their ongoing contributions to education, and for the vital role the participants play in promoting and ensuring a brighter, stronger future for the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work Foundation.

The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Bizon, Canfield, Crawford, Heise, Hoadley, Hooker, Lauwers, LaVoy, Maturen, Poleski, Potvin, Price, Webber and Whiteford offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 277.
A resolution to commemorate May 2016 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 established into law in 1964 under President Lyndon Johnson in effort to aid in the War on Poverty, making 2016 the 52nd year of community action in the United States; and
Whereas, Michigan’s 29 community action agencies are the only community-based organizations providing full wraparound, locally-directed services in all 83 counties in the state; and
Whereas, In 2015, Michigan community action agencies served 201,864 Michigan residents 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, Additionally, 6,440 children improved their health and physical development through early childhood programs, 25,066 residents received assistance on tax preparation and refunds, 45,567 seniors maintained independent living situations, and 233,566 connections were made with other necessary assistance service providers and programs; and
Whereas, Community action agencies, in cooperation with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, have successfully administered weatherization assistance program funds which have 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 more than $438 million in economic activity statewide in 2015; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2016 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 Association.

The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Brett Roberts, Jacobsen, Sheppard, Outman, Canfield, Crawford, Heise, Hoadley, Hooker, Howrylak, Kelly, Lauwers, LaVoy, Maturen, Poleski, Potvin, Price, Webber and Whiteford offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 278.
A resolution to declare May 2016 as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, often known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a neurodegenerative disease that affects muscle control in the body; and
Whereas, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is caused by motor neuron degeneration in the brain and spinal cord; and
Whereas, The symptoms of this rapidly advancing disease can include difficulty with and the possibility of the inability to walk, speak, eat, and even breathe; and
Whereas, It is estimated that at any given time as many as 30,000 people are living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in the United States; and
Whereas, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is very difficult to diagnose as there is no test or procedure to confirm diagnosis; and
Whereas, Life expectancy of those with Ametropic Lateral Sclerosis averages between two and five years from the date of the diagnosis; and
Whereas, There is currently no cure for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, the ALS Association is funding 98 active research projects focusing in six areas of research including therapeutic development, genetics, disease mechanisms, biomarkers, clinical studies, and disease modeling. Only one drug is approved by the FDA to slow the progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and it only extends survival by two to three months; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2016 as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We urge increased public awareness of this progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects muscle control in the body.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Reps. Howrylak, Howell, Potvin, Chang, McBroom, Aaron Miller, Runestad, McCready, Lucido, LaVoy, Webber, Victory, Somerville, Canfield, Crawford, Heise, Hoadley, Hooker, Kelly, LaFontaine, Lauwers, Maturen, Poleski, Price and Whiteford offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 279.
A resolution to declare April 24-30, 2016, as Black April Memorial Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, April 30, 2016, marks the 41st anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War and the start of the eventual exodus of several million Vietnamese out of Vietnam after South Vietnam’s capital of Saigon fell to the communists on April 30, 1975; and
Whereas, For many Vietnam and Vietnam-era veterans who were directly involved in the war and Vietnamese-Americans who have settled in the United States, the Vietnam War was a tragedy full of great suffering and the loss of American, Vietnamese, and Southeast Asian lives; and
Whereas, Over 58,000 people were killed and 304,000 were wounded out of the 2.59 million Americans who served in the Vietnam War. One out of every ten Americans who served in Vietnam became a casualty of war; and
Whereas, South Vietnamese armed forces lost 275,000 soldiers, many more wounded along with an unknown number of Vietnamese civilian casualties; and
Whereas, During the American evacuation of Saigon, the first wave of Vietnamese refugees, 135,000 strong, mostly military officers and their families, took temporary shelter through several international refugee camps, at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, Fort Chaffee in Arkansas, and Indiantown Gap in Pennsylvania; and
Whereas, Starting in 1977, and lasting through the mid-1980s, a second wave of Vietnamese refugees comprised mostly of “boat people” began leaving Vietnam; and
Whereas, Seeing no future under communism, nearly 800,000 boat people risked their lives in small, dangerous boats to travel to resettlement camps in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines before eventually being resettled in the United States; and
Whereas, The Red Cross estimated that during that time, at least 300,000 Vietnamese died on the high seas while trying to escape communism; and
Whereas, After 1985, a third wave of Vietnamese refugees came to the United States under the Orderly Departure Program; and
Whereas, In 1988, Congress passed the Operation Homecoming Act, a program allowing approximately 80,000 Amerasian children (offspring of GI fathers and Vietnamese mothers) to come to America; and
Whereas, By 1990, the fourth wave of Vietnamese refugees began arriving in the United States under the Humanitarian Operation and today, more than 1.7 million Vietnamese immigrants reside in the United States; and
Whereas, Studies using census data show that foreign-born Vietnamese entering the United States in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000’s, have seen an increase in terms of English proficiency, proportion of college graduates, the number of owner-occupied housing, family median income, and naturalization; and
Whereas, Over the years, Vietnamese immigrants have overcome social, economic, and language barriers of unforeseen magnitude to grow and become the most assimilated along civic dimensions of any large group in America; and
Whereas, Through emphasis on intense study, Vietnamese-Americans have reached the pinnacles of American success in a variety of fields including business and entrepreneurship, science and technology, space travel, medicine, the executive branch of the United States government, politics, the United States military, the United States judicial system, professional sports, and, most recently, cultural icon status in cooking, modeling, acting, and comedy; and
Whereas, In order to serve their community and prosper in America, Vietnamese Americans formed well-established and thriving Vietnamese-American commercial districts throughout the United States, including an enclave in southeast Oakland County and in west Michigan; and
Whereas, More than 17,000 Vietnamese now live in Michigan; and
Whereas, We must teach our children and future generations important lessons from the Vietnam War, including how the plight of the Vietnamese refugees following the end of war serves as a powerful example of the values of freedom and democracy; and
Whereas, Refugees and immigrants from the former Republic of Vietnam who came to the United States and settled as free Vietnamese-Americans are honored and remembered for their sacrifices for freedom and human rights and for their ongoing contributions to our democratic society; and
Whereas, The Vietnamese Heritage and Freedom flag, which is yellow with three horizontal red stripes, is the only symbol that can unite most Vietnamese around the world and bring them together under the banner that symbolizes the aspiration for freedom and democracy in their homeland; and
Whereas, Although united in sorrow as they commemorate April 30, 2016, as Black April, an occasion to reflect on the sacrifices of the past, Vietnamese-American communities throughout Michigan consider Black April a memorial and remembrance of the resilience of the Vietnamese people; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 24-30, 2016, as Black April Memorial Week in the state of Michigan. We recognize this as a special time for Michiganians to honor the tragedy of the suffering and countless lives lost during the Vietnam War era and to pay tribute to those lives lost by affecting human rights and freedom to the people of Vietnam.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Kelly, Canfield, Crawford, Heise, Hooker, Howrylak, Lauwers, Maturen, Poleski, Price and Whiteford offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 280.
A resolution to declare May 1-7, 2016, as National Charter Schools Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, There have been two decades of progress in charter schools and this is the week to celebrate Michigan’s charter school journey; and
Whereas, Today in Michigan, over 150,000 children (about 10% of all students in the state) are being educated in 300 public charter schools, providing new educational opportunities to parents; and
Whereas, Charter public schools encourage innovation and are accountable to the public through their authorizers, including public universities, community colleges, and local and intermediate schools districts, which establish and oversee charter schools; and
Whereas, Charter schools are making great progress in closing the achievement gap for urban, minority, and at-risk children across the state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 1-7, 2016, as National Charter Schools Week in the state of Michigan. We honor all of their successes and the important role they play in educating Michigan’s young people; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Association of Public School Academies.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. LaGrand, Hovey-Wright, Plawecki, Brinks, Yanez, Sarah Roberts and Moss offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 281.
A resolution to support the Federal Railroad Administration’s proposed ruling requiring American trains to be operated by a minimum crew of two.
Whereas, The safe operation of freight and passenger trains is vital to commerce and the Michigan Legislature supports efforts to keep train operations safe for all railroad employees and residents and communities along rail routes in the state of Michigan. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) regarding adequate staffing on trains, a vital factor to ensure safe train operations. Among other things, the proposed rules require that trains in America be operated by no less than a two-person crew; and
Whereas, National studies show that having multiple on-board crew members has broad safety benefits. While advancements in automated technology such as Positive Train Control (PTC) systems improve railroad safety, they are not a substitute for a train’s on-board crew members. Having another set of eyes and additional experience to address unexpected problems can be critical. A second crew member also minimizes the risk of accidents due to distraction or fatigue; and
Whereas, Virtually all trains in North America are already operated by crews of at least two individuals, making the economic impact of this proposed rule minimal; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the Michigan State Legislature does hereby support the Federal Railroad Administration’s proposed ruling, requiring that trains in America be operated by no less than a two-person crew; and be it further
Resolved, That this resolution be filed with the United States Department of Transportation in the form of comments in support of the proposed federal rule.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Regulatory Reform.
