Rep. Ed McBroom, from the 108th District, offered the following invocation:
“Dear Father,
We praise You for Your goodness and grace given to each person here. You hold our very lives in Your hands and know our inmost thoughts. Lord, please give us understanding about our world. Help us to see that sin and wickedness destroy and rot all of this world, our possessions, our bodies, and our relationships. As we question where the evil and despair we see all about us is, help us to find that answer: from each human heart. My heart is quick to deceive me. It tells me what I want to hear. It is selfish and prideful. It strays easily into thoughts and those lead to deeds that violate You, and me, and my neighbor.
Father, give us new hearts. Renew our minds. Cleanse us by the power of Your Holy Spirit and the washing of the blood of Christ. Even at this hour, let us each consider what we will do with the consideration we each must give of our own final destination. You have provided a way. And then let us live with new hearts: hearts that are given to loving one another. Love for our neighbor is the command You give to us. We will be known by our love. Help us as we work here, despite our many differences of opinion, to be united in our desire to love our neighbor as ourselves.
Grant us this grace and mercy in the name of Jesus. Amen.”

Rep. Chang, having reserved the right to explain her nay vote, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on HB 5383 because the children of Detroit deserve better. The package of bills will result in kids going to classrooms with uncertified teachers. It will result in teachers being unfairly penalized for raising their voices. It lacks any centralized coordinating body to deal with the unchecked charter school authorization going on in Detroit right now. It lacks a plan for transportation — in a city where many families do not have transportation, which limits their choices given the lack of neighborhood schools in some areas. I am very disappointed by the concurrence of these bills and voted no because we can do better.”
Reps. Gay-Dagnogo, Townsend, Chirkun and Hovey-Wright, having reserved the right to explain their nay vote, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on House Bill 5383 and 5384, the Republican Detroit Public Schools plan, because I feel this version leaves Detroit’s kids in failing, crumbling schools. While the new plan sends more dollars to the district, it fails to put in place the reforms needed to ensure DPS will recover from its financial crisis, making it likely that DPS will be in the same situation a year or two down the road. Additionally, this plan allows DPS to hire uncertified teachers in our classrooms, allows charter schools to open whenever and wherever they want in the city with no accountability. This isn’t how you fix a school district and educate students. This is how you sell off a generation of students to the highest charter bidder. Detroit students, parents and teachers deserve much better than what the Republicans in power did to them today which is why I’m voting no.”
Rep. LaVoy, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
The Detroit Public Schools plan will not fix the problems that have been made worse under state control. I voted no on House Bill 5383 and 5384 because they just throw money at the problem without having adequate reform or oversight. I believe DPS will be in the same situation in several years. Uncertified teachers should never be allowed to teach in any school district! Michigan taxpayers, Detroit students, parents and teachers deserve better. We had a chance to create a plan that could have fixed the problem. Instead, we have a plan that only clears the debt and may set up the school district for failure.”

Reps. Barrett, Canfield, Cochran, Crawford, Faris, Geiss, Greig, Heise, Hooker, Kelly, Lauwers, LaVoy, Phelps, Poleski, Price and Singh offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 314.
A resolution to declare June 27, 2016, as Post Traumatic Stress Injury Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces, who proudly serve the United States, risk their lives to protect the freedom of the United States and deserve the investment of every possible resource to ensure their lasting physical, mental, and emotional well-being; and
Whereas, More than 2,000,000 United States service members have deployed as part of overseas contingency operations since the events of September 11, 2001; and
Whereas, The military has sustained an operational tempo for a period of time unprecedented in the history of the United States, with many service members deploying multiple times to combat zones, placing them at high risk of post traumatic stress injury (PTSI); and
Whereas, It is expected that ten thousand veterans will return to the state of Michigan every year for the next three to five years after spending a significant amount of time in combat environments, exposing thousands of soldiers to traumatic life threatening events; and
Whereas, The Department of Veterans Affairs reports that in fiscal year 2012, more than 500,000 veterans from all wars who sought care at a Department of Veterans Affairs medical center received treatment for PTSI; and
Whereas, PTSI significantly increases the risk of depression, suicide, and drug and alcohol related disorders and deaths; and
Whereas, The Department of Defense and the United States Department of Veterans Affairs have made significant advances in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of PTSI and the symptoms of PTSI. However, many challenges remain; and
Whereas, The establishment of a Michigan Post Traumatic Stress Injury Awareness Day will raise public awareness about issues related to PTSI; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 27, 2016, as Post Traumatic Stress Injury Awareness Day in the state of Michigan. We urge the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency and the Adjutant General to continue working to educate service members, veterans, the families of service members and veterans, and the public about the causes, symptoms, and treatment of post-traumatic stress injury; and be it further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor of the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
By unanimous consent the House considered House Resolution No. 316 out of numerical order.
Reps. Glenn, Canfield, Cochran, Crawford, Faris, Geiss, Greig, Heise, Kelly, Lauwers, LaVoy, Phelps, Poleski, Price and Singh offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 316.
A resolution to declare June 20-26, 2016, as Amateur Radio Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Amateur radio operators are celebrating over a century of the miracle of the human voice broadcast over the airwaves; and
Whereas, Amateur radio has continued to provide a bridge between peoples, societies, and countries by creating friendships and the sharing of ideas; and
Whereas, Amateur radio services are provided wholly uncompensated; and
Whereas, The state also recognizes the services amateur radio’s people also provide to our many emergency response organizations, including the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the Civil Air Patrol and others; and
Whereas, These same individuals have further demonstrated their value in public assistance by providing free radio communications for local parades, bike-a-thons, walk-a-thons, fairs, and other charitable public events; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan recognizes and appreciates the diligence of these “hams” who also serve as weather spotters in the Skywarn program of the US Government Weather Bureau; and
Whereas, The American Radio Relay League is the leading organization for amateur radio in the USA; and
Whereas, The ARRL Amateur Radio Field Day exercise will take place on June 25-26, 2016, and is a 24 hour emergency preparedness exercise and demonstration of the radio amateurs’ skills and readiness to provide self- supporting communications without further infrastructure being required; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of the legislative body declare June 20-26, 2016, as Amateur Radio Week in the state of Michigan and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be sent to the Michigan section of the American Radio Relay League as evidence of our highest esteem.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Franz, Canfield, Chang, Cochran, Crawford, Faris, Geiss, Greig, Heise, Hooker, Kelly, Lauwers, LaVoy, Phelps, Poleski and Price offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 317.
A resolution to declare September 16, 2016, as POW/MIA Recognition Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The United States has fought in many wars. Thousands of Americans who served in those wars were captured by the enemy or are listed as missing in action; and
Whereas, It has always been the creed of those who wear a military uniform never to leave a fallen comrade on the battlefield. On this day, we pay tribute to those who are missing in action or have been taken prisoner of war and never returned home; and
Whereas, To date, a total of 83,467 Americans are listed as prisoners of war or missing in action since World War II. This includes 73,681 in World War II, 7,951 in the Korean War, 1,657 in Vietnam, 127 in the Cold War, and 6 in Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom; and
Whereas, We as a nation can never collectively rest until we account for all those men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice to their country; and
Whereas, We express our deepest gratitude to these patriots in both words and actions, knowing they were fighting to protect our rights and freedoms; and
Whereas, Many American prisoners of war were subjected to brutal and inhumane treatment by their enemy captors in violation of international codes and customs for the treatment of prisoners of war and many such prisoners of war died from such treatment; and Whereas, Their work will not be complete, nor will our commitment be fulfilled, until they come home; and
Whereas, The stark POW/MIA flag will fly proudly along with the U.S. and state of Michigan flags on September 20, serving as a commanding reminder that the duty of those who are missing in action or prisoners of war is finished, but ours continues as we seek to find, repatriate, and honor these courageous men and women; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 16, 2016, as POW/MIA Recognition Day in the state of Michigan.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Military and Veterans Affairs.
Reps. Leonard, Canfield, Cochran, Crawford, Faris, Geiss, Greig, Heise, Kelly, Lauwers, LaVoy, Phelps, Poleski and Price offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 315.
A resolution to declare September 2016 as Leukodystrophy Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Leukodystrophy, sometimes referred to as white matter disease, makes up a group of rare genetic disorders that affect the central nervous system by disrupting the growth or maintenance of the myelin sheath, which insulates nerve cells in the brain; and
Whereas, Myelin, sometimes referred to as “white matter” because of its white, fatty appearance, protects and insulates the axons and consists of a protective sheath of many different molecules that include both lipids (fatty molecules) and proteins. It functions in a manner very similar to that of the protective insulation surrounding an electric wire; that is, being necessary for the rapid transmission of electrical signals between neurons. Myelin does so by containing the electrical molecules within the axons so that they are all properly transmitted to the next neuron and with a proper myelin sheath, neurons can transmit signals at speeds up to 60 meters per second; and
Whereas, Leukodystrophy damages this myelin sheath, causing a potential decrease by ten-fold or more based on this signal lost during transmission, decreasing the speed of signal transmission, and leading to significant disruption in the proper functioning of the nervous system; and
Whereas, The process of disruption in the proper functioning of the nervous system causes loss of normal function ultimately leading to severe multiple impairments and 100% dependence on caretakers; and
Whereas, Leukodystrophy is progressive, incurable, and fatal, and in many cases has taken the lives of children within a matter of months; and
Whereas, There are over 40 types of leukodystrophies, estimated to affect 1 in 7,000 people; and
Whereas, Institutions of stature continue researching many forms of leukodystrophy, looking for breakthroughs that may lead to a cure; and
Whereas, There is a lot that can be done to make life more positive for a person with leukodystrophy and their family, and having a network of support helps get through the hard times; and
Whereas, The great state of Michigan is filled with so many faithful, caring people and medical professionals that provide this network of support; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 2016 as Leukodystrophy Awareness Month in the state of Michigan
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Greig, Sarah Roberts, Brinks, Cochran, Plawecki, LaGrand, Hoadley, Brunner, Garrett, Pagan, Chirkun, Yanez, Faris, Lane, Darany, Driskell, Hovey-Wright, Love, Chang, Canfield, Geiss, Heise, Kelly, Lauwers, LaVoy, Phelps, Price and Singh offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 318.
A resolution to declare June 2016 as Women in Science and Technology Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Science and technology are critical fields for the success of Michigan’s economy as many of the fastest growing occupations in our state require some form of expertise in the areas of science and technology. Careers related to science and technology represent some of the highest-paying positions in any field, thereby providing desirable career opportunities and real pathways out of poverty; and
Whereas, Preparing students for the science and technology workforce is essential to fulfill the demands of the 21st century’s innovation-focused economy; and
Whereas, A significant gender gap exists in the participation of science and technology disciplines and workforce. Women earn nearly 60 percent of bachelor’s degrees, but are underrepresented in science and technology-related college degrees, especially in the computer sciences and engineering fields. According to the Census Bureau, while women make up nearly one-half of the working population, they only represent 26 percent of the science and technology workforce. Women represented 35 percent of computer occupations in 1990, but that number declined to 26 percent by 2013; and
Whereas, Women in science and technology professions earn one-third more than women in non-science and technology-related occupations. In Michigan, the gender disparities among science and technology fields are similar if not more pronounced. Only 22 percent of engineering graduates in Michigan are women and only 20 percent of engineers in the workforce are women; and
Whereas, Despite underrepresentation in the science and technology fields, there are many Michigan female leaders who represent the science and technology community and serve as role models for young girls preparing for careers in science and technology; and
Whereas, Increasing the interest of the next generation of students in Michigan, particularly young women and underrepresented minorities, in science and technology-related fields is necessary to maintain the competitiveness of our state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 2016 as Women in Science and Technology Month in the state of Michigan. We encourage all citizens and community organizations to support the observance of Michigan Women in Science and Technology Month by encouraging and celebrating women in the science and technology fields.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Townsend, Canfield, Chang, Cochran, Faris, Geiss, Greig, Kelly, Lauwers, LaVoy, Phelps, Plawecki and Singh offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 319.
A resolution to declare June 13-19, 2016, as Men’s Health Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The week will begin with what is known as Blue Monday, a day where men, women, and children who wish to support the men in their lives are asked to dress in blue, and men are encouraged to plan exercise or a healthful activity to be a part of that day; and
Whereas, Maintaining good health and a healthy lifestyle should be a priority for men, parents, and boys throughout our state, as well as the medical community; and
Whereas, The State of Michigan and the medical community should work together to educate men and boys in the role of disease prevention, healthy lifestyles, and proper health. This initiative helps to inspire a lifelong dedication to maintaining a health centric lifestyle and increases the survivor rates of prostate cancer, as well as other diseases; and
Whereas, The efforts of Men’s Health Week should strive to reverse trends of ignoring health concerns, participating in risky behaviors that threaten one’s health, stigmatization of mental health concerns, and reluctance to take action and openly discuss one’s health; and
Whereas, Men are 24 percent less likely than women to have visited a doctor within the past year. Yet, 12.1 percent of men 18 years and older are in fair or poor health; and
Whereas, As the result of advocacy and greater awareness of men’s health, there has been visible progress, with reduced mortality from prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men’s suicide; more men living with prostate or testicular cancer and being physically and mentally well; men and boys understanding how to be mentally healthy and taking action when they experience mental health problems; and men and boys with mental health problems not facing discrimination; and
Whereas, Due to the fact that more than one-third of adults in the U.S. are obese, it is essential that we also focus on preventative health efforts. Encouraging healthy eating and positive nutrition will lead to greater levels of cardiovascular health and decrease rates of heart disease and diabetes in men. Men’s Health Week should seek to encourage men and boys to take on a more healthy diet and a lifestyle with more exercise; and
Whereas, Men are at an increased risk to developing asthma, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder. Therefore, it should be the mission of our state and local communities to increase awareness of these risks and our support networks across the state; and
Whereas, A man’s health does not only affect himself, but his family as well. Therefore, Men’s Health Week should also show support for strong families that support the men and boys of Michigan; and
Whereas, The determinations of Men’s Health Week will work to create greater awareness of men’s health concerns, widespread support for men and their families, and a culture of open dialogue about proactive and healthy lifestyles; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 13-19, 2016, as Men’s Health Week in the state of Michigan. We call this observance to the attention of all our citizens; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Men’s Health Week Organization, Michigan Institute for Urology, and Men’s Health Foundation with our highest esteem.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

House Resolution No. 320.
A resolution to declare August 2016 as Breastfeeding Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Extensive research, especially in recent years, documents diverse and compelling advantages to infants, mothers, families, and society from breastfeeding and the use of human milk for infant feeding. These include health, nutritional, immunological, developmental, psychological, social, economic, and environmental benefits; and
Whereas, Breastfeeding provides significant health benefits to the mother as well as the infant and provides maternal protection from breast cancer, osteoporosis, and other cancers. Research indicates the incidence of breast cancer in the United States and other developed countries could be reduced by longer duration of breastfeeding; and
Whereas, Worldwide studies show that babies who are breastfed have higher rates of survival. Breastfed babies have reduced numbers of viral and bacterial infections resulting in fewer cases of necrotizing enterocolitis, diarrhea, otitis media, meningitis, and respiratory infections; and
Whereas, Any genuine promotion of family values should encourage acceptance of this most basic act of nurture between a mother and her child; and
Whereas, The Michigan Legislature encourages breastfeeding and commends employers, both in the public and the private sector, who make accommodations for breastfeeding mothers whenever feasible. The Michigan Legislature recognizes that breastfeeding is an important and basic act of nurture that should be supported in the interests of maternal and child health; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare August 2016 as Breast Feeding Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Geiss, Greig, Hovey-Wright, Yanez, Sarah Roberts, Driskell, Singh, Darany, Love, Crawford, Hooker, Lyons, McBroom, Theis, VerHeulen, Brinks, Bizon, Canfield, Kelly, Chang, Cochran, Faris, Lauwers, LaVoy, Phelps and Plawecki offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 321.
A resolution to declare August 1-7, 2016, as Breastfeeding Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Human milk provides the ideal balance of nutrients for an infant’s growth and development; is a proven primary prevention strategy, protecting both infants and mothers from a host of infectious, chronic, and acute diseases and conditions; builds a foundation for life-long health and wellness; and promotes mother, infant, and family bonding; and
Whereas, Breastfeeding has been found to lower the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, childhood obesity, childhood acute leukemia and lymphoma, both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, pneumonia, necrotizing enterocolitis, and infant mortality; and breastfeeding has been found to lower the risk for mothers for developing breast and ovarian cancers, post-partum depression, and osteoporosis; and
Whereas, In addition to these physical health benefits, there are also considerable psychological benefits for both infants and mothers while breastfeeding, due in most part to the release of hormones that can change the way brains behave; and
Whereas, Major medical authorities recommend that mothers breastfeed exclusively for six months and report benefits of continuing breastfeeding for at least the first year of a child’s life; and
Whereas, The primary barriers to breastfeeding are the lack of knowledge, lack of support from family and friends, harassment and interference in public places, lack of workplace accommodations, and poorly equipped hospitals; and
Whereas, Employers that provide workplace lactation support experience an impressive return on investment, including lower health care costs, absenteeism, and turnover rates, and improved morale, job satisfaction, and productivity; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare August 1-7, 2016, as Breastfeeding Week in the state of Michigan: We recognize and appreciate breastfeeding mothers and of all the dedicated volunteers, professionals, communities, and organizations that support their efforts. This honorable body hereby recognizes multitudinous health benefits of breastfeeding and joins in the cause to promote breastfeeding in this state. We encourage all citizens to recognize the efforts of breastfeeding families, health professionals, and the state and local health departments by providing support, encouragement, and help to make breastfeeding easier for all.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.

Announcements by the Clerk
The Clerk received the following dissent on House Bill Nos. 5383 and 5384, from Rep. Chang:
During today’s session, June 8th, 2016, the presiding officer denied many democratic members the opportunity to give voice to the concerns of thousands of our residents regarding House Bills 5383 and 5384 in violation of Rules 8 and 29. Article 4, Sec 18 provides the right of any member to object to any act, proceeding or resolution of the body. I hereby dissent and object to the callous and indifferent administration of House procedure by the presiding officer, the very rules and procedure they wrote and voted on at the beginning of session. Departing from every precedent that has been set this session, elected officials were silenced. It is a matter of course that the majority will not permit record roll call votes on any amendments or on IE, but they have at least had the decency to allow representatives to speak. Last night was a total departure. It is shameful the presiding officer denied members the civility and common courtesy that should be afforded to all representatives of the people.
