Pastor Randy Wheeler, Pastor of Twin Oaks Christian Church in Woodhaven, offered the following invocation:
“Our heavenly Father, our wise Creator, Lord over all,
On this, another day of business in the Michigan House of Representatives, we pause for a moment to seek Your favor. We ask Your blessing on these men and women who give their time to serve this great state. It is often a thankless job. They carry the weight of many important decisions on their shoulders and so many times, Lord, the answers aren’t easy to find. But You promise in Your word that when we need wisdom we only need to seek You, and You will generously give it. May these representatives humble themselves before You and find in You the answers they need.
Father, in so many ways You have abundantly blessed this state – from the scenic beauty found shore to shore; the natural resources that provide crops and minerals and recreation; to the heart of our people who generously help those in need and tirelessly work to make a better Michigan and a better America. Father, we thank You for these blessings.
At the same time, Lord, our state faces many challenges. Please help these representatives and our people rise up to meet those challenges. May we come together as not just Democrats and Republicans and Independents, but rather as Michiganders – one people united for the common good; laying aside personal and party agendas to put the needs of others first. May You be honored in all that is said and done here today.
Father, bless this place today with Your presence and Your guidance. This we ask in the name of Your son, Jesus Christ,
Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

House Resolution No. 304.
A resolution to offer best wishes to Muslims in Michigan and worldwide, a joyous and meaningful observance of Ramadan, a holy month of reflection and prayer.
Whereas, There are about 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, which equates to roughly 23 percent of the global population. Muslims are the fastest-growing religious group in the world and are one of the largest and most productive populations residing in Southeast Michigan; and
Whereas, The month of Ramadan is observed in dedication to the Islamic principles and in commemoration of the month in which the holy Quran was revealed to prophet Muhammad; and
Whereas, Muslims around the world will observe Ramadan by fasting, emphasizing self-discipline, worshipping, and reading the holy Quran in order to focus on values such as patience, humility, and spirituality. For 30 days, followers of Islam pray and refrain from eating, drinking, smoking, cursing, and impure thoughts; and
Whereas, Fasting and praying during Ramadan is meant to purify the body and spirit and bring the faith closer to God. During this month Muslims spend this time in reflection and prayer, while strengthening the bonds of family and friendship; and
Whereas, This month of sacrifice and contemplation begins on or about the evening of Sunday, June 5, and continues until on or about the evening of Tuesday, July 5, with Eid al-Fitr. Eid al-Fitr is the feast of fast-breaking and the celebration of Prophet Abraham’s sacrifice that embraces special prayers and meals; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body offer best wishes to Muslims in Michigan and worldwide, a joyous and meaningful observance of Ramadan, a holy month of reflection and prayer. We celebrate Eid al-Fitr, when we convey to our Muslim friends and neighbors Eid Mubarak!

Rep. Poleski, 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 believe it would be manifestly unwise for any responsible commercial purchaser of mushrooms to make such a purchase from someone who is not very thoroughly trained, responsible and certified to identify an edible mushroom.
No commercial user of mushrooms would risk their very substantial businesses by making a purchase of such a risky product in anything other than a very assured fashion.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for this opportunity to explain my vote on HB 5532.”
Rep. Driskell, 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 no on House Bill 5532 because it poses a great threat to our public health, and, as legislators, I believe it is our duty to protect the health and safety of our constituents and the citizens of Michigan.
Mushrooms that are mistaken as morel mushrooms can be poisonous to humans, causing not just sickness, but even death. Thousands of cases of mushroom poisoning are reported across the country every year, with Michigan being the leading state in the country for mushroom poisoning. During the 2014 morel season, 46 people were poisoned from eating what they thought were real morels, but were poisonous look-a-likes.
Given these statistics, I feel it is important to maintain our current certification system. This quick, relatively inexpensive process provides a basic training for those who wish to sell the mushrooms they pick, and the certification they receive is good for five years.
Public health is about prevention – preventing health issues before they happen. Our certification requirement can help continue to prevent sickness, and even death, from false morels, while promoting our local food and culinary movements.

Rep. Nesbitt moved that the bill be given immediate effect.
The motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor.
Rep. Yanez, 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:
While I fully support civics as part of a school curriculum and the use of that curriculum as path to matriculation, I firmly believe this bill sets the bar too low. Mandatory requirements for graduation are mandatory for a reason. They should be held in the highest regard and not relegated to a level of ‘barely good enough.’ Our children deserve better and our parents, teachers, administrators and certainly legislators should demand better.”
Rep. Greig, having reserved the right to explain here protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on HB4136, the Citizenship Exam requirement, for several reasons: If the purpose is to better educate kids on Civics topics, we should be incorporating more topics into the curriculum, not adding easy-to-pass tests as a requirement of graduation. A test that can be taken as many times as needed to pass, and only requires 60% to pass, and requires IT development and changes to report on the transcript, is not a solution. This bill wastes taxpayer dollars and will not produce better citizens.”
Rep. Singh, 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 strongly support having a strong curriculum regarding civics in our schools. Unfortunately, HB 4136 doesn’t add to the current comprehensive curriculum for civics in our high schools. Local control already allows for school districts to utilize the US Citizenship test as part of the curriculum and testing if they so choose. Since students can take this test multiple times without consequence until they pass the test with passing only requiring 60% being accurate, it doesn’t show a student’s true mastering of the subject. If we are going to require teachers to teach toward this test we should ensure that the test has additional value to the current curriculum. In addition, passing a test should require more than 60% correct. The requirement to place this on a student’s transcript creates an undue burden on a school district for a test that doesn’t accurately test a student’s comprehension of American government and civics.”
Senate Bill No. 844, entitled
A bill to authorize the state administrative board to convey state-owned property in Ingham County; to prescribe conditions for the conveyance; and to provide for disposition of the revenue from the conveyance.

______
Rep. Poleski, 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 understand the motivation of the sponsor to offer students more options. However, I believe our students benefit greatly from multi-lingual capability. I believe that to allow that requirement to be fulfilled with courses other than foreign languages is unwise in the long run.
When I mentioned this bill to a friend who is an Information Technology professional, he mentioned that he learned COBOL and FORTRAN while in high school. Those languages are deader than Latin. Let’s teach kids languages they can use for a lifetime.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for this opportunity to explain my no vote on HB 5463.”
