Rep. Yousef Rabhi, from the 53rd District, offered the following invocation:
“We stand together on this day, humbled by the task that rests before us. We stand in respectful acknowledgement of the civic duty that has been placed in our hands.
Let us always remember in our work the supreme power of the people enshrined in our state constitution, which states that ‘All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for their equal benefit, security and protection.’
Our task is to uphold that will and that will alone.
May we be granted the strength to overcome the temptations that seek to distance us from this foundational principle.
In that spirit, let us also remember Section 2 of our state constitution, which states that ‘No person shall be denied the equal protection of the laws; nor shall any person be denied the enjoyment of his or her civil or political rights or be discriminated against in the exercise thereof because of religion, race, color or national origin.’
May we find, in these troubling times, the courage to tear down the walls of division that seek to impose themselves among us and tear our nation asunder. For the true test of our resolve shall be in our ability to hold fast to that which unites us and to cast our differences aside for the greater good.
Yet, in so doing so, let us also have the moral fortitude to acknowledge when we have been wrong. No matter how painful it may be, we must have the clarity to confront the deep injustices in our state and nation.
Let the light of our republic shine brightly enough to illuminate our past and present offences so that they may enlighten a future that upholds our inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Let us remember that the strength of our union rests in the unwavering belief in the goodness of our fellow Americans. With that goodness in our hearts, there is no force foreign or domestic that can demolish our democracy nor derail our nation’s great path to freedom.
Today, as we conduct the business of the people, let us be guided by these 6 words that shall forever be the guiding light of our great nation:
‘With liberty and justice for all’.
Thank you.”

The Speaker called the Speaker Pro Tempore to the Chair.

Chang, Albert, Allor, Brinks, Camilleri, Canfield, Chirkun, Clemente, Cochran, Crawford, Ellison, Faris, Frederick, Gay-Dagnogo, Geiss, Green, Greig, Guerra, Hertel, Hoadley, Howrylak, Hughes, Jones, Kahle, Kelly, Lasinski, Liberati, Love, Maturen, Miller, Moss, Pagan, Rendon, Sabo, Schor, Singh, Sneller, Sowerby, Webber, Wittenberg and Yaroch offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 173.
A resolution to declare October 15, 2017, as Pregnancy Loss Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, According to the Mayo Clinic, about 10 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage; and
Whereas, The National Center for Health Statistics estimates there are more than 1 million fetal losses per year in the United States, with the vast majority of these losses occurring before 20 weeks of gestation; and
Whereas, According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, stillbirth affects about 1 percent of all pregnancies in the United States and there were approximately 24,000 stillbirths reported in 2013; and
Whereas, The availability of information and support is of the utmost importance to the women and families who experience miscarriage or other types of pregnancy loss to better help them cope; and
Whereas, A public that is informed and educated about miscarriage or pregnancy loss can better learn how to respond with compassion to affected families. Professionals who come in contact with families who have suffered miscarriage or pregnancy loss, such as physicians, clergy, emergency medical technicians, funeral directors, police officers, public health nurses, educators and employers, can better serve families if they have better knowledge of miscarriage or pregnancy loss; and
Whereas, Pregnancy Loss Awareness Day was created to recognize the grief of the families, to remember all of the pregnancies lost, and to increase awareness about pregnancy loss. This day will help to heal and comfort the families in a time of pain and heartache, give the families hope for the future, and help women and families understand and process their experience; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 15, 2017, as Pregnancy Loss Awareness Day in the state of Michigan. We recognize the grief of the families who have experienced miscarriage or pregnancy loss, and we wish to help heal and comfort these families in a time of pain and heartache, to give the families hope for the future, and to assist women and families across the state in understanding their experience.

House Resolution No. 174.
A resolution to declare October 11, 2017, as National Coming Out Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, National Coming Out Day is recognized internationally as a day of self-affirmation and to raise awareness of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGTBQ) community and the movement for equality; and
Whereas, National Coming Out Day was founded in 1988 to mark the anniversary of the second National March on Washington, with an estimated half a million participants, for “Lesbian and Gay Rights” which took place in 1987; and
Whereas, National Coming Out Day emphasizes the importance of “coming out,” the voluntary self-disclosure of one’s sexual orientation and/or gender identity; and
Whereas, National Coming Out Day creates an opportunity for the people of Michigan to celebrate the rich variation of persons in our state and to value their contributions to our communities; and

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 11, 2017 as National Coming Out Day in the state of Michigan. We pledge to continue our efforts in creating and maintaining a state that provides acceptance, equal opportunity, fair treatment, and human dignity for all people.

House Resolution No. 175.
A resolution to declare October 11, 2017, as International Day Of The Girl Child in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Women’s realization of their full potential through education and economic empowerment is critical to the state’s ability to achieve strong and lasting economic growth as well as political and social stability; and
Whereas, More opportunity for girls and an increase in awareness of gender inequality faced by girls can only help to eradicate gender discrimination in our state; and
Whereas, The eradication of poverty and extreme poverty, as well as the meaningful participation of girls in decisions that affect them, are key in breaking the cycle of discrimination and violence; and
Whereas, Promoting and protecting the full and effective enjoyment of their human rights and recognizing also that empowering girls requires their active participation in decision-making processes and the active support and engagement of their parents, legal guardians, families and care providers, as well as boys and men and the wider community; and
Whereas, Women and girls make up 51 percent of the population, yet they are consistently underrepresented in government; and
Whereas, The advancement of women in this state, in our nation and around the world should be a priority for this Legislature; and
Whereas, The Michigan Legislature is staunchly in favor of the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women; now, therefore, be it

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps.

House Resolution No. 176.
A resolution to declare October 8-14, 2017, as Fire Prevention Week in Michigan.
Whereas, Last year, home fires killed more than 91 Michigan citizens. According to the National Fire Incident Reporting System, fire departments throughout the state responded to 12,063 home fires in 2016; and
Whereas, Families today have a much smaller window of time to escape a home fire safely, as little as one-two minutes to escape from the time the smoke alarm sounds due to newer homes burning faster and toxic gases and smoke being produced by today’s building materials; and
Whereas, A home fire escape plan provides the skill set and know-how to quickly and safely escape a home fire situation; and
Whereas, Families are urged to develop and map out a home fire escape plan that includes two exits from every room in the home, a path to the outside from each exit and designated meeting place; and
Whereas, Michigan’s first responders are dedicated to reducing the occurrence of home fires and home fire injuries through prevention, protection, and education so families can take personal steps to increase their safety from fire in their homes; and
Whereas, The 2017 Fire Prevention Week theme, “Every Second Counts: Plan 2 Ways Out” effectively serves to educate the public about the vital importance of developing a home fire escape plan; now, therefore, be it further
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 8-14, 2017, as Fire Prevention Week in the state of Michigan. We urge all the people of Michigan to develop a home fire escape plan with all members of the household and practice it twice a year and to participate in the many public safety activities and efforts of their community’s fire and emergency services during Fire Prevention Week 2017.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
