Pastor Kevin Harris, Pastor of Worldview Christian Ministries in Detroit, offered the following invocation:
“Awesome and mighty God; we come before You today to give thanks. We thank You for Your blessing and peace on our lives; we thank You for the blessings of our family and love ones. We thank You for the colleagues with whom we serve today.
Today we lift up our hearts in prayer for governments and leadership all around this world; from international to national, to state and local government, we pray this prayer seeking wisdom knowledge and understanding in decision-making.
Let us remember that true religion is to see about the widows and the orphans of society, the broken, the downtrodden and all those that do not have a voice. Let our voices be the voice of they who cannot speak for themselves and be true to the mantle of leadership that we carry. And all things we will give You the glory, the honor and the praise, in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.”

Pursuant to Joint Rule 20, the full title of the act shall be inserted to read as follows:

The House agreed to the full title.
Rep. Nesbitt moved that the bill be given immediate effect.

Rep. Lyons, 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:
It is absolutely good policy to eliminate rebuttable presumption, and I support instituting a firm timeframe for the validity of petition signatures. I believe those who want to change the Board of State Canvassers’ decades-old policy regarding rebuttable presumption are indeed themselves attempting to change the rules in the middle of the game. However, passing this bill with immediate effect changes the rules in the middle of the game as well. As the Elections Committee debated the legislation, I offered an amendment to make the law effective January 1, 2017 because- despite the attempt of some petition circulators to change the rules in the middle of the game- I do not think it is wise for the legislative body to impact those who are currently circulating petitions and hope to have their questions on the November 2016 ballot. The amendment was adopted in committee, but unfortunately the January 1, 2017 effective date was stripped on the floor and replaced with immediate effect. Therefore, I cannot support Senate Bill 776.”
Rep. McBroom, 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 am disappointed to be voting no on SB 776. I believe that it is right to set a firm date on signature collection and to eliminate a never used, cumbersome methodology for prolonging the acceptable days of signature validity to up to four years. I could consider an amount of days slightly longer than 180 but am not persuaded of its necessity. One hundred eighty days has been a very successful amount of days for many years in Michigan. Now groups that repeatedly find it difficult to gather the necessary signatures within that time period are looking to change the rules- without even trying the existing process to utilize lapsed signatures. It is right to prevent this from happening so that Michigan does not descend into the chaos loose, direct democracy often creates. Access to the ballot for statute or constitutional amendment or referendum is purposefully designed to be difficult to protect the republican form of government our state follows by order of our own constitution and the US Constitution.
All that said, I must oppose the bill because of the removal of the grandfathering provision. It is inherently unfair to change the rules of the game in the midst of it. The several petitions now being circulated rightly deserve to complete their efforts with all statutes in place that were present at the beginning of their efforts. This would include their ability to petition the board of canvasers for a policy change as they have done and been denied. They should then be allowed to pursue rebutting the staleness of the signatures by the existing policy.
Even the most wholesome food can be rendered inedible by the smallest drop of poison. The removal of the phase-out language is more than a drop of poison and therefore I must refuse to accept the whole.”
Senate Bill No. 752, entitled
A bill to amend 1931 PA 328, entitled “The Michigan penal code,” by amending sections 315a and 376a (MCL 750.315a and 750.376a), as amended by 2014 PA 400.

Explanation of “No” Votes
Rep. McBroom, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of House Bill No. 5314, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
This bill builds on the good work done in previous sessions to address the problem of concussions with student athletes. The bulk of these programs already exists and this bill mostly changes some reporting requirements. However, the bill also includes a special dispensation requested by the universities of our state. They expressed concerns about seventeen year old college students participating in intramural sports at the various state institutions. I object to the inclussion of this language because it shows the continued duplicity of these same institutions.
These institutions continually claim State Constitution provisions; article XIII, section 4, grant them complete autonomy from all statutes. This autonomy is often cited at these institutions’ great convenience. However, today, they find it convenient to hide behind the work of the legislature instead of their own choices. I reject this attempt of the institutions to pick and choose their battles and vote against this bill for this reason.”
Announcements by the Clerk
The Clerk received the following dissent from Reps. Guerra, Durhal, Hoadley, Pagan, Greig, Schor, Zemke, Plawecki, Sarah Roberts, Chang, Brinks, Wittenberg, Moss, Geiss, Chirkun, Smiley, Faris, Darany, Yanez, LaVoy, Liberati, Garrett, Darany, Dianda, Neeley, Hovey-Wright, Rutledge, Lane, Townsend, Greimel, Love, Gay-Dagnogo, Talabi, LaGrand, Brunner and Byrd:
I did not rise for immediate effect on Senate Bill 776. The House did not demonstrate sufficient support for motions for immediate effect. Article 4, Section 27 of the Michigan Constitution requires a 2/3rds vote in favor of a motion for immediate effect. There was not 2/3rds support for the motion.
The Clerk received the following dissent from Reps. Cochran and Driskell:
I did not rise for immediate effect on Senate Bill 776. The House did not demonstrate sufficient support for the motion for immediate effect. Article 4, Section 27 of the Michigan Constitution requires a 2/3rds vote in favor of a motion for immediate effect. There was not 2/3rds support for the motion.
The Clerk received the following dissent from Rep. Phelps:
I, Representative Phil Phelps, did not rise for immediate effect on Senate Bill 776. The House did not demonstrate sufficient support for motions for immediate effect. Article 4, Section 27 of the Michigan Constitution requires a 2/3rds vote in favor of a motion for immediate effect. There was not 2/3rds support for the motion.
The Clerk received the following dissent from Rep. Robinson:
I did not rise for immediate EFFECT OF sb 776. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE HOUSE HAD SUFFICIENT VOTES FOR IMMEDIATE EFFECT.
The Clerk received the following dissent from Rep. Banks:
I did not rise nor vote for immediate effect for SB 776, I also do not believe that the House demonstrated sufficient support for the motion for immediate effect.
The Clerk received the following dissent from Rep. Irwin:
I did not rise for immediate effect on Senate Bill 776. The House did not demonstrate sufficient support for motions for immediate effect. Article 4, Section 27 of the Michigan Constitution requires a 2/3rds vote in favor of a motion for immediate effect. There was not 2/3rds support for the motion.
In addition, members were denied the Constitutional rights afforded under Article 4, Section 18. By continuing the practice of blatantly disregarding our Constitution and depriving the citizens of the transparency promised by Article 4, Section 18, the public is harmed. For the sake of transparency, accountability, and the rule of law, we need to follow the Constitution.
The Clerk received the following dissent from Rep. Singh:
I did not rise for immediate effect on Senate Bill 776. The House did not demonstrate sufficient support for motions for immediate effect. Article 4, Section 27 of the Michigan Constitution requires a 2/3rds vote in favor of a motion for immediate effect. There was not 2/3rds support for the motion. In addition, the chair did not state that immediate effect was granted. It is a shame that the majority blatantly disregarded the constitution in their attempt to silence the voice of Michigan citizen’s ability to petition their government.
______
Rep. Moss moved that the House adjourn.
The motion prevailed, the time being 4:10 p.m.
Associate Speaker Pro Tempore Franz declared the House adjourned until Thursday, May 19, at 12:00 Noon.
