Reps. Chatfield, Liberati, Allor, Brinks, Calley, Canfield, Chang, Chirkun, Cochran, Crawford, Elder, Faris, Farrington, Frederick, Garcia, Geiss, Greig, Griffin, Hertel, Hoadley, Howrylak, Hughes, Jones, Kelly, Lauwers, Leutheuser, Love, Marino, Maturen, Moss, Pagan, Schor, Singh, Webber, Wittenberg, Zemke, Greimel, Kesto and Lasinski offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 52.

A resolution to declare April 2017 as Autism Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, On March 23, 2007, Congress designated April as National Autism Awareness Month, supporting efforts to increase funding for research into the causes and treatment of autism and to improve training and support for individuals with autism and those who care for individuals with autism; and

Whereas, Autism is the result of a neurological disorder that affects the normal functioning of the brain and impacts development in the areas of social interaction and communication skills; and

Whereas, The demands of living with a person with autism are great and families frequently experience significant financial costs for specialized education and support services. The uniqueness of each individual with autism makes the experience of living with autism different for each family; and

Whereas, Autism is a lifelong condition and the necessary support and treatment changes as people on the spectrum move through major life phases. Their quality of life depends not only upon the foundation that is provided in childhood, but on ongoing supports that are specific to the educational, medical, social, recreational, family, and employment needs of the individual; and

Whereas, Autism knows no racial, ethnic, social boundaries, family income, lifestyle, or educational levels, and can affect any family and any child. There are over 3.5 million Americans living with the effects of autism spectrum disorder; and

Whereas, Autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability in the United States. Autism prevalence is estimated at 1 in every 68 births and is four to five times more likely to occur in boys than in girls; and

Whereas, Early intervention services are the primary therapeutic option for young people with autism and that early intervention significantly improves the outcome for people with autism and can reduce the level of funding and services needed to treat people with autism later in life; and

Whereas, New opportunities are being created through collaborative efforts of family members, professionals, and all levels of government to bring about significant changes in the public perception of young people and adults with developmental disabilities, including those with autism, opening new doors to independent and productive lives; and

Whereas, The Michigan Developmental Disabilities Council supports people with developmental disabilities, including those with autism, to achieve their life’s dreams and ensure that all citizens of Michigan have the opportunities and support to achieve their full potential; and

Whereas, Numerous efforts to support individuals in Michigan have been made in recent years, including legislation enacted in 2012 to require insurance coverage of autism therapy treatment. Furthermore, the Michigan Autism Council was established by Executive Order to adopt and implement the Michigan Autism Spectrum Disorder Plan; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 2017 as Autism Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

A resolution to declare April 2, 2017, as Autism Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The demands of living with a person with autism are great and families frequently experience significant financial costs for specialized education and support services. The uniqueness of each individual with autism makes the experience of living with autism different for each family; and

Whereas, Autism is a lifelong condition and the necessary support and treatment changes as people on the spectrum move through major life phases.

House Resolution No. 54.

A resolution to declare April 2017 as Financial Literacy Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The informed use of credit and other financial products and other financial products and services benefits individual consumers and promotes economic growth; and

Whereas, Financial literacy and learning these skills at an early age encourages greater economic self-sufficiency, higher levels of successful homeownership, and enhanced retirement security, particularly among low-and moderate-income citizens; and

Whereas, The trend over the past decade has seen declining personal savings rates, increased bankruptcy filing, soaring home foreclosures, and rising percentages of family income devoted to servicing household debt; and

Whereas, During times of strong and decreasing economic conditions, personal financial education and money management skills are crucial to ensure that our young people are prepared to manage credit and debt and become responsible workers, heads of households, homeowners, investors, entrepreneurs, business leaders, and productive citizens; and

Whereas, The young people of our state represent Michigan’s single greatest resource who, in the years ahead, will assume leadership positions and responsibility for advancement of our society; and

Whereas, According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), approximately 25 percent of households in the United States, or close to 30 million households, are unbanked or underbanked and subsequently have missed opportunities for savings, lending, and basic financial services; and

Whereas, More than one in four Michigan households are unbanked or underbanked; and

Whereas, Expanding access to the mainstream financial system will provide individuals with less expensive and more secure options for managing finances and building wealth; and

Whereas, According to the Consumer Financial Literacy Survey Final Report of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, 45 percent of adults living in the United States gave themselves a grade of C, D, or F on their knowledge of personal finance; and

Whereas, Michigan banks understand that an educated consumer is the best consumer and that financially savvy customers will use and get the most from banking services and products throughout their lives; and

Whereas, The FDIC indicates that a majority of banks report teaching financial literacy and 58 percent conduct financial literacy outreach; and

Whereas, Financial Literacy Month highlights the commitment of Michigan banks to strengthen the financial knowledge of our youth and to prepare them for a fiscally-responsible future; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 2017 Financial Literacy Month in the state of Michigan. We encourage raising public awareness about the need for increased financial literacy in our schools, among our children, and with adults throughout the state. This will help address the serious problems that are associated with a lack of understanding of personal finances; and be it further

Resolved, That we call on each parent, school, business, financial institution, community organization, and unit of government to observe the month with appropriate programs and activities.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Whereas, Both during times of strong and decreasing economic conditions, personal financial education and money management skills are crucial to ensure that our young people are prepared to manage credit and debt and become responsible workers, heads of households, homeowners, investors, entrepreneurs, business leaders, and productive citizens; and

House Resolution No. 59.

A resolution to urge the President and Congress of the United States to continue funding the Essential Air Service program to the Upper Peninsula.

Whereas, The Essential Air Service program was established after airlines were deregulated to ensure that small communities previously served by certificated airlines maintained commercial service. The Essential Air Service program is used to help provide business leaders, recreationalists, and residents reliable air travel to and from small airports around the country, including five airports in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and has transported countless individuals since the program’s enactment; and

Whereas, The Essential Air Service program is essential to the economic well-being of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. This region is renowned for its vast mineral deposits and rugged wilderness that have long supplied American industry with affordable, domestically-mined metals and timbers for manufacturing. The region’s breathtaking scenery and lakeshore are some of the most stunning in the Midwest. Such a large expanse requires reliable air travel to make the region’s mines, forests, lakeshores, communities, and colleges as accessible as possible; and

Whereas, President Trump has asked for a reduction in the Essential Air Service’s budget. Businesses depend on reliable air travel to and from small airports in the Upper Peninsula, and airports require funding from the Essential Air Service program to maintain critical infrastructure like runways, lighting, and safety equipment. Any reduction in federal funding for this vital program will harm economic activity in the Upper Peninsula and have a direct and negative impact on American manufacturing and these communities; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Congress and President of the United States to continue to fund the Essential Air Service program to the Upper Peninsula; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Commerce and Trade.

Rep. Geiss, 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:

As we know, similar legislation to HB 4315 was introduced and moved through this body last term. And last term, I supported the legislation. Today however, I cannot, despite my strong support for academic flexibility and in particular, strong career technical education programs on the secondary school level. My concerns with the bill include allowing students to complete three credits of 21st century skills from a choice of four options. According to the Michigan Department of Education’s website outlining overarching expectations, Current 21st Century Learning Skills Core Subjects are:

1. English, reading or language arts

2. Mathematics

3. Science

4. Foreign Languages

5. Civics, economics, government, arts, history, geography

By placing Foreign Language (including ASL)—whether in a face-to-face or online learning environment in the same basket of options that includes visual, performing and applied arts, coding and computer science and a formal Career-Technical program, we open up the unintended consequence of some students taking no foreign language at all or no visual/performing art at all. (As a quick reminder, three is less than four, and yet, the Partnership for 21st Century Skills P21 Framework pointedly states that both the arts and foreign language are indeed necessary 21st-century skills. Why would we want to shirk our students of the valuable skills that both of these disciplines provide them—skills that are arguably transferable to other disciplines.

Furthermore, while we use the word ‘language’ to describe coding and computer science and may share certain elements with the spoken and written word such as syntax and organization, coding has far more of an alliance with mathematics and the creative arts than it does with foreign language per se. (I say this as someone who is multi-lingual, knows how to code and is a musician that can play, read and write music.) The same skills that go into creating an app, a video game, the CGI that we see in our favorite action movies and into the type of innovative technology that will operate the vehicles of the not-too-distant future and more are the same skills employed by painters, sculptors, musicians—from Bach to Bruno Mars and the logic employed is in-itself mathematical not linguistic.

I believe in the conceptual idea of this bill and the overall premise and need. But, I also believe that it still needs more work especially since we are speaking of academic curricular changes that will affect a generation of Michigan students and I have voted no.

Additionally, I voted no on HB4317 which would allow Career Technical Education students to take OSHA-30 instead of general health is short-sighted and would deny students important health information on nutrition, personal relationships, comprehensive medically accurate sex education, and in light of the opioid crisis, important substance abuse prevention education.”
