Rev. Daniel Moore, Pastor of The Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church of Flint in Flint, offered the following invocation:
“Most gracious and eternal God, how excellent is Your name in all the earth. We Your people gather today, grateful for the many blessings that You have bestowed upon us as a people, as a state, and as a nation.
We remember before You today those who are serving in the armed forces, those who have been effected by the recent hurricanes and flooding around the world; those who are suffering and struggling, and those who are less fortunate and marginalized. We commend them to Your care, and we pray that You will grant them a sense of Your grace, and that You would hold them in the palm of Your hands, and cradle them in Your loving arms of provision and protection.
Today, we are especially grateful for this Session of the Congress of the State of Michigan. Bless our governor and every elected official right now. Bless their families and their homes so that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. We pray that You will shower these elected leaders with Your wisdom so that they may work together to eliminate poverty, prejudice, and all forms of injustice. Sustain these Your servants with vision that is inspired by Your overall will and purpose for humankind, so that justice can roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream. Give them hearts of love for the people whom they have been given the privilege to represent, so that they will fulfill the duties of their various offices with compassion and prudence.
Strengthen their resolve so that they as leaders may lead us to become, in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, members of a beloved community, where this state can become the paradigm of this nations creed—one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
Respecting persons of all faiths, we pray this prayer in Your most holy name. Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Faris, Dianda, Ellison, Sneller, Wittenberg, Brinks, Geiss, Singh, Love, Chirkun, Clemente, Liberati, Maturen, Sabo, Schor and Sowerby offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 156.
A resolution to declare September 26, 2017, as Youth Consent Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, One in five women, at least 6% of men, and over 40% of members of the LGBT community enrolled in a Michigan college or university will be sexually assaulted during their time as a student; and
Whereas, Forty-eight percent of middle and high school students between the ages of 12 and 18 reported being sexually harassed at school, and
Whereas, An estimated 80% of sexual assaults are not reported when the victim is a college-age female student; and
Whereas, Young female victims of nonconsensual sexual acts are more likely to experience depression, PTSD, self-blame, and alcohol and/or drug abuse; and
Whereas, Despite the existence of nationwide sexual assault prevention programs and passage of The Campus Sexual Violence Elimination (SaVE) Act by Congress, there is no Michigan-specific awareness day or campaign focusing on the issue and importance of consent; and
Whereas, Sexual assault education among undergraduates has been shown to increase bystander intervention to prevent sexual assault, improve outcomes for individuals at risk, and increase opposition to rape; and
Whereas, Approximately 25.3% of rapes occur due to a personal matter and the closer the relationship between the female victim and the offender, the less likely the rape will be reported; and
Whereas, Almost 67% of sexual assaults are committed by someone known to the victim; and
Whereas, Sexual assaults on college campuses are most likely to occur during the first three months of the school year and in Michigan, nonconsensual sexual activity is equivalent to sexual assault; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 26, 2017, as Youth Consent Day in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Singh, Barrett, Chirkun, Clemente, Faris, Geiss, Hughes, Liberati, Maturen, Sabo, Schor, Sneller, Sowerby and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 157.
A resolution to declare September 24-30, 2017, as Arteriovenous Malformation Awareness Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is defined as an abnormal connection between arteries and veins which bypass the capillary system. AVM is a rare condition that affects approximately 300,000 American citizens. Although many AVMs are asymptomatic, they can cause intense pain or bleeding in addition to other serious medical problems; and
Whereas, This vascular anomaly is widely known because of its occurrence in the central nervous system, but it can appear in any location. It may also cause abnormal sensations such as numbness, tingling, or spontaneous pain; difficulties with movement or coordination, including muscle weakness and even paralysis; vertigo, difficulties of speech, communication, and challenges with everyday activities; and
Whereas, A team of researchers has initiated research on AVM with the goal of identifying a drug therapy to cure the disease. The objectives of this research include determining the mechanism of progression of AVM in humans, developing tools for testing potential pharmacotherapy, and developing drug treatment for humans with AVM; and
Whereas, Kelleigh’s Cause, a not-for-profit organization, was founded in 2013 by Haslett, Michigan native Kelleigh Gustafson at the age of 17. In conjunction with the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, Kelleigh’s Cause has been instrumental in raising attention and funds to support the research and treatment of AVM; and
Whereas, There exists a great need for public awareness surrounding this rare condition and increased attention to efforts to support opportunities for advancement in AVM research and treatment; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 24-30, 2017, as Arteriovenous Malformation Awareness Week in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Sparrow Foundation, Kelleigh Gustafson, and Kelleigh’s Cause as a token of our appreciation.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
