Pastor Keven Brownfield of First Baptist Church of Witch Lake of Republic offered the following invocation:

Father, as David reminds us in the Psalms, we enter into Your gates with thanksgiving and into Your courts with praise. We first of all thank You for Your sovereignty. We thank You for the grace that You have given in the Lord Jesus Christ. Father, I then am reminded of Paul’s words to us in the New Testament when he said, “Then I urge that supplications, prayers, and intercessions and thanksgiving be made for all people, for kings and all those that are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good and well pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus who gave himself a ransom for all.”

Father, as the people have joined together to meet today to deal with all kinds of issues and problems, maybe one great passage of Scripture for all of us is what James reminds us of: “If any man lacks wisdom, let him ask of God.” So, Father, I would pray for Your wisdom today to be very evident and seen in all that is done and all that is accomplished here.

For this we give You great glory and praise in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

The President pro tempore, Senator Schuitmaker, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

The motion prevailed.

Senate Resolution No. 154.

A resolution recognizing March 13-19, 2016, as Aviation Week.

Whereas, We are in the 21st century, moving further into the air age and a global economy, and airport infrastructure is critical for our economy to compete in today’s marketplace; and

Whereas, Michigan’s geography as a peninsula makes aviation necessary for the fast and efficient transport of people, goods, and services; and

Whereas, Nearly 1 billion pounds of air cargo are carried into the state annually to support Michigan businesses; and

Whereas, General aviation contributes $19 billion annually to our state economy; and

Whereas, Our businesses, industries, and foreign firms need reliable runways, taxiways, and navigational systems for the conducting of their business; and

Whereas, Michigan boasts 234 public-use airports, serving over 13,550 pilots and 6,500 aircraft; and

Whereas, More than 1,000 Michigan companies, employing 1 million people, operate their own aircraft; and

Whereas, Michigan is home to 53 charter flight companies, 119 repair stations, and 66 licensed flight schools; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That March 13-19, 2016, be hereby recognized as Aviation Week.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,

Senator Kowall moved that the rule be suspended.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The resolution was adopted.

Senators Bieda, Booher, Brandenburg, Casperson, Colbeck, Green, Hansen, Hopgood, Knollenberg, MacGregor, Marleau, Proos, Robertson, Warren, Zorn, Jones and Kowall were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.

Senator Pavlov offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 155.

A resolution to urge the U.S. Secretary of State to re-open the public comment period for Plains LPG’s presidential permit application for the pipelines under the St. Clair River and ask the International Joint Commission to review the environmental impact of the pipelines running under the St. Clair River and Detroit River.

Whereas, Plains LPG Services purchased seven pipelines located beneath the St. Clair River and Detroit River in 2012 and requested the U.S. State Department approve presidential permits to connect, operate, and maintain pipeline facilities at the international boundary between the United States and Canada; and

Whereas, The State Department issued one permit for the pipeline located under the Detroit River and one permit for the six pipelines under the St. Clair River in 2014. When Plains LPG discovered that the former owner had a previously unknown permit to transport crude oil through two of the pipelines, the State Department rescinded the permit for the pipelines under the St. Clair River and restarted the review process; and

Whereas, The public comment period for the revised St. Clair River pipeline permit closed on February 24, 2016. Notices for public comment are published in the Federal Register and are not highly publicized. Many people who have concerns about the pipeline permit only became aware of the application after the comment period closed; and

Whereas, An oil spill in the Great Lakes would have catastrophic consequences for the environment and economy of Michigan, surrounding states, and Canada. A spill would be particularly devastating due to the challenges of responding to an oil spill in freshwater or under ice; and

Whereas, The 2015 Michigan Petroleum Pipeline Task Force (MPPTF) recommended against the transportation of heavy crude oil through pipelines under the Great Lakes and issued a series of proposals for how the state could improve its oversight of pipelines generally, including recommendations to develop better information, response plans, public awareness, and agency coordination; and

Whereas, The MPPTF Report was prepared in response to the Enbridge Line 6B rupture in 2010 and renewed attention to the Enbridge Line 5 pipeline running near the Straits of Mackinac, but the Plains LPG pipelines under the St. Clair River could potentially be even more dangerous, as two of the six lines are nearly 100 years old, and the permit, if approved, would allow for the transportation of crude oil; and

Whereas, Not only could the rupture of these pipelines lead to disastrous consequences for agriculture, fishing, irrigation, electric generation, manufacturing, and wildlife, but the location of the Plains LPG pipelines poses a serious threat to the region’s drinking water. The main drinking water intakes for Detroit and many other communities are located downstream of the pipelines, putting the public health of millions at risk; and

Whereas, The transportation of hazardous liquids is an important issue that requires input from the public. The potential impact of a spill on the regional environment, public health, and economy would be significant, and decision makers should hear from the local communities before authorizing the transportation of potentially dangerous materials, especially when the company requesting the permit has recently been involved in a spill. After media reports surfaced about the permit application, many people and organizations have expressed serious concerns about the pipelines; and

Whereas, Under federal regulations, the State Department is not required to conduct an environmental assessment if a company requesting a permit intends to operate the pipeline in essentially the same manner as the previous owner. The State Department has not conducted environmental assessments for the Plains LPG pipelines; and

Whereas, A pipeline owned by Plains LPG’s parent company ruptured due to corrosion and discharged more than 100,000 gallons of crude oil in Santa Barbara, California, in May 2015. The company was unaware of the rupture for more than two hours which delayed coordinated efforts to limit the spill’s impact on the area. Any permits requested by Plains LPG should be scrutinized particularly closely to ensure it does not repeat previous mistakes; and

Whereas, Government officials and the public need to be well-informed in order to determine the merits of Plains LPG permit requests. Given the impact the pipeline could have on the United States and Canada, the International Joint Commission (IJC) would be an appropriate entity to conduct an objective assessment of the risks posed by the Plains LPG pipelines under both the St. Clair River and Detroit River; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we urge the U.S. Secretary of State to re-open the public comment period for Plains LPG’s presidential permit application and ask the International Joint Commission to review the environmental impact of the pipelines running under the St. Clair River and Detroit River; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the U.S Secretary of State.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,

Senator Kowall moved that the rule be suspended.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Senator Kowall moved that the resolution be referred to the Committee on Energy and Technology.

The motion prevailed.

Senators Bieda, Booher, Brandenburg, Colbeck, Green, Jones, Kowall, Proos and Rocca were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.
