House Resolution No. 396.

A resolution to declare October 2018 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, October has long been recognized across America as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in an effort to raise public awareness about the importance of early detection; and

Whereas, In 2018, it is estimated that among U.S. women, there will be 252,710 new cases of invasive breast cancer and 63,410 new cases of in situ breast cancer along with over 40,000 breast cancer deaths; and

Whereas, In 2018, there are more than 3.1 million women with a history of breast cancer in the U.S. This includes women currently being treated and women who have finished treatment; and

Whereas, According to the Michigan Department of Community Health, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in Michigan women and the most common newly diagnosed cancer in Michigan women; and

Whereas, One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime; and

Whereas, Everyone is at risk for breast cancer but the two most important risk factors are being female and getting older; and

Whereas, The five year survival rate among women whose breast cancer has not spread beyond the breast at the time of diagnosis is close to 100 percent; and

Whereas, Since the inception of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in 1985, mammography use across America has doubled and breast cancer death rates have declined; and

Whereas, Efforts to promote increased mammogram screening have resulted in the third Friday in October being declared National Mammography Day; and

Whereas, Even with impressive progress, many women do not utilize mammograms or other recommended testing methods at regular intervals before physical symptoms can be seen or felt. Breast cancer deaths could decline further if all women age 40 and older received recommended screenings at regular intervals; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 2018 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We urge all Michiganders to use this month as an opportunity to educate themselves about breast cancer and take proactive steps to reduce their risks and get appropriate screenings.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Rep. Brinks moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:

Substitute for House Resolution No. 396.

A resolution to declare October 2018 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, October has long been recognized across America as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in an effort to raise public awareness about the importance of early detection; and

Whereas, In 2018, it is estimated that among U.S. women, there will be 266,120 new cases of invasive breast cancer and 63,960 new cases of in situ breast cancer along with over 40,000 breast cancer deaths; and

Whereas, In 2018, there are more than 3.1 million women with a history of breast cancer in the U.S. This includes women currently being treated and women who have finished treatment; and

Whereas, According to the Michigan Department of Community Health, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in Michigan women and the most common newly diagnosed cancer in Michigan women; and

Reps. Camilleri, Brinks, Canfield, Cochran, Ellison, Faris, Gay-Dagnogo, Geiss, Green, Greig, Howrylak, Lasinski, Liberati, Maturen, Moss, Singh, Sneller, Sowerby and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 397.

A resolution to declare September 21-28, 2018, as Maltese American Heritage Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Malta is an archipelago of six islands in the Mediterranean Sea with a rich history dating back thousands of years. Because of their strategic location, the islands have served as a military asset for centuries, at times coming under the control of the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, French, and British. Malta gained its independence from the United Kingdom on September 21, 1964. With a population of under 450,000 people, Malta is now one of the world’s smallest and most densely populated countries. It is a popular tourist destination, boasting beautiful recreational opportunities, three UNESCO Heritage Sites, and some of the oldest freestanding structures in the world; and

Whereas, The United States is fortunate to be home to more than 38,000 Maltese Americans. The 2013 American Community Survey estimates that over 12,900 Michiganders are Maltese immigrants or children of Maltese immigrants, making the metro-Detroit area the largest concentration of Maltese Americans in the nation. Citizens of Maltese descent, in each generation, from the factory workers who helped shape Michigan’s automobile industry to the entrepreneurs who opened restaurants that are still serving the metro-Detroit community today, have used ingenuity, dedication, and relentless hard work to find economic opportunities and provide better lives for their families. Maltese Americans have enhanced our culture, quality of life, and economic vitality through leadership, commitments to knowledge and advancement, and dedication to their communities. The state of Michigan and the United States of America have been enriched by the contributions of Maltese Americans in all facets of life, including the arts, sciences, business, education, and philanthropy; and

Whereas, Maltese American residents are proudly served in Michigan by the Maltese American Benevolent Society in Detroit and the Maltese American Community Club in Dearborn; and

Whereas, Michigan takes pride in its cultural diversity and welcomes the opportunity to honor our Maltese American residents for their lasting and expanding imprint upon our state; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 21-28, 2018, as Maltese American Heritage Week in the state of Michigan. We encourage all citizens to celebrate the individual and collective contributions of Maltese Americans to this state and to this country.

House Resolution No. 398.

A resolution to declare September 2018 as Suicide Prevention Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Suicide is the leading cause of injury deaths in Michigan; and

Whereas, Suicide touches people of all ages and walks of life, but the highest rates of suicide are among those aged 25 to 50 and increases with age; and

Whereas, In this state, suicide is the second leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-olds and a leading cause of death among those individuals enrolled in college; and

Whereas, In 2016, more than 1,300 people in Michigan died as a result of suicide; and

Whereas, Suicide’s impact in the nation and in our state is enormous, whether measured in numbers of deaths, attempts, economic and medical benefit costs, or the devastation to survivors. The lifetime cost of medical care for persons dying by suicide and those being hospitalized following a suicide attempt is an estimated $51 million; and

Whereas, The causes of suicide are complex and multifaceted, involving psychological, biological, and sociological factors. Suicide is often the result of untreated mental illness, especially depressive illnesses, and research indicates that many suicides could have been prevented with immediate and appropriate intervention and treatment; and

Whereas, Suicide prevention opportunities continue to increase due to advances in clinical research pertaining to the diagnosis and effective treatment of mental illness, along with advances in neuroscience and in the development of community-based suicide prevention initiatives; and

Whereas, Much more can and must be done to reduce the stigma associated with seeking help for emotional or mental health problems or help for suicidal thoughts and behavior. Research demonstrates that increased public awareness of the warning signs of suicide and awareness of appropriate and effective intervention strategies would reduce suicide deaths; and

Whereas, Greater public consciousness of suicide as a major public health problem will help keep our citizens safe and healthy and is part of the greater efforts of the Michigan House of Representatives to raise awareness of mental health issues and prevent suicides; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 2018 as Suicide Prevention Month in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Association of Community Mental Health Boards and mental health and suicide prevention advocates throughout the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Rep. Geiss moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:

Substitute for House Resolution No. 398.

A resolution to declare September 23-29, 2018, as Suicide Prevention Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Suicide is the 10th leading cause of deaths in Michigan; and

Whereas, Suicide touches people of all ages and walks of life, but the highest rates of suicide are among those aged 25 to 50 and increases with age; and

Whereas, In this state, suicide is the second leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-olds and a leading cause of death among those individuals enrolled in college; and

Whereas, In 2016, more than 1,300 people in Michigan died as a result of suicide; and

Whereas, Suicide’s impact in the nation and in our state is enormous, whether measured in numbers of deaths, attempts, economic and medical benefit costs, or the devastation to survivors. The lifetime cost of medical care for persons dying by suicide and those being hospitalized following a suicide attempt is an estimated $1 billion; and

Whereas, The causes of suicide are complex and multifaceted, involving psychological, biological, and sociological factors. Suicide is often the result of untreated mental illness, especially depressive illnesses, and research indicates that many suicides could have been prevented with immediate and appropriate intervention and treatment; and

Whereas, Suicide prevention opportunities continue to increase due to advances in clinical research pertaining to the diagnosis and effective treatment of mental illness, along with advances in neuroscience and in the development of community-based suicide prevention initiatives; and

The resolution was adopted.

THIS RESOLUTION IS OFFERED TO COMPLY WITH ARTICLE XI, SECTION 7 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN OF 1963.

Reps. Theis, Runestad, Vaupel, Cole, Hornberger and LaFave offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 399.

A resolution directing the impeachment of Theresa M. Brennan, District Court Judge for the Fifty-third District Court, for corrupt conduct in office and for crimes and misdemeanors.

Whereas, Article XI, Section 7 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 states, in part:

The house of representatives shall have the sole power of impeaching civil officers for corrupt conduct in office or for crimes or misdemeanors, but a majority of the members elected thereto and serving therein shall be necessary to direct an impeachment.

; and

Whereas, Theresa M. Brennan has exhibited a pattern of conduct contrary to her duties and responsibilities as a District Court Judge. This pattern of corrupt and criminal conduct has been detailed by staff of the Judicial Tenure Commission as part of Formal Complaint No. 99, as amended July 23, 2018, and may include additional actions or inactions by Theresa M. Brennan that are discovered in the course of the ongoing investigation; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That Theresa M. Brennan, District Court Judge for the Fifty-third District Court, is impeached for corrupt conduct in office and for crimes and misdemeanors. The following Articles of Impeachment are adopted by the House of Representatives and shall be exhibited to the Senate:

ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT EXHIBITED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN IN THE NAME OF ITSELF AND OF THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN AGAINST THERESA M. BRENNAN, DISTRICT COURT JUDGE FOR THE FIFTY-THIRD DISTRICT COURT, IN MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT OF ITS IMPEACHMENT AGAINST HER FOR CORRUPT CONDUCT IN OFFICE AND FOR CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS.

ARTICLE I

In multiple cases in which she was presiding, Theresa M. Brennan failed to disclose personal relationships, and/or relevant details thereof, with witnesses, counsel, and litigants, and knowingly misrepresented facts of those relationships in and out of court, and knowingly made false statements about those relationships under oath to the Judicial Tenure Commission:

(1) When presiding over People v Jerome Walter Kowalski (Case No. 08-17643‑FC), Judge Brennan failed to disclose her close personal relationship with Michigan State Police Detective Sergeant Sean Furlong, who was a significant witness for the prosecution. When the existence of the personal relationship came to light, Judge Brennan knowingly downplayed the extent of the relationship, serving to conceal relevant facts and preventing counsel from adequately pursuing a disqualification petition. During the course of the case, Judge Brennan made statements she knew to be false and/or misleading, both in conference with counsel and in open court, and continued to engage in a personal relationship with Detective Sergeant Furlong, and failed to inform the parties of contact with him, even after the issue was initially raised in court.

(2) In five cases in which Judge Brennan was presiding, Shari Pollesch served as counsel for one of the litigants and Judge Brennan did not disclose that she was close personal friends with Pollesch. Judge Brennan also failed to disclose her friendship with Pollesch when other attorneys at Pollesch’s firm appeared before her in five additional cases. In response to written questions about her relationship with Pollesch and her conduct in the relevant cases, Judge Brennan knowingly made false statements to the Judicial Tenure Commission while under oath.

(3) In two divorce cases involving Francine Zysk over which she presided, Judge Brennan failed to disclose she had regular contact with Zysk due to Zysk’s employment with the Fifty-third District Court and their personal friendship. Given Judge Brennan’s relationship to Zysk, she was potentially in position to be called as a witness in one of the proceedings.

Judge Brennan’s conduct in these cases demonstrates, at best, a pattern of blatant disregard for court rules and judicial ethics, and at worst, concerted efforts to aid particular litigants based on her personal relationships. Even if Judge Brennan behaved in an impartial manner when making decisions in these cases, the appearance of impropriety harms the judicial system and her intentionally false statements to the Judicial Tenure Commission constitute a serious crime.

The conduct described in this article is contrary to numerous court rules, provisions of the Code of Judicial Conduct, and constitutes perjury under MCL 750.423, as stated by Paragraph 390 of Formal Complaint No. 99, as amended July 23, 2018.

Wherefore, Theresa M. Brennan, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.

ARTICLE II

Theresa M. Brennan has demonstrated a pattern of unethical behavior and disregard for the law and the administration of justice. In addition to her conduct in People v Jerome Walter Kowalski (Case No. 08-17643-FC), cases involving Shari Pollesch and her firm, cases involving Francine Zysk, and the use of public resources for private purposes, Judge Brennan has demonstrated a pattern of failing to follow court rules, provisions of the Judicial Code of Conduct, state law, and accepted ethical norms that shows a disregard for her duties and responsibilities as a judge:

(1) When Judge Brennan was assigned her own divorce case in 2016, she failed to disqualify herself in a timely manner. Further, when being deposed in her divorce proceedings, Judge Brennan made false statements about the extent of her contact with Michigan State Police Detective Sergeant Sean Furlong and interjected during the depositions of other people.

(2) When presiding in Kevin Brisson v Erin Terlecky (44th Circuit Case No. 17-051753‑DP), Judge Brennan initially failed to follow MCL 722.716(4) which requires 14 days after service of paternity tests before a trial can be held. Judge Brennan informed the parties she intended to proceed with the trial and stay the discussion of paternity for 14 days. When counsel for one of the parties asked Judge Brennan to comply, she threatened to place the attorney in lockup, and ordered that she be placed in lockup when the attorney continued to make her case. Judge Brennan, despite no substantive basis to do so, accused the attorney of threatening the judge.

(3) When presiding in Michael Sullivan v Denise Sullivan (44th Circuit Case No. 14-006162-DO), Judge Brennan repeatedly conducted herself in an unprofessional demeanor and failed to treat litigants and lawyers fairly and with respect. Judge Brennan also failed to allow testimony by telephone during the case claiming that the court did not have that capability, when in fact it did. As a result, the defendant in the case incurred the unnecessary expense of traveling from Florida to Michigan.

The conduct described in this article constitutes a violation of numerous court rules, provisions of the Code of Judicial Conduct, and statutes, as stated by Paragraph 390 of Formal Complaint No. 99, as amended July 23, 2018.

Wherefore, Theresa M. Brennan, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.

; and be it further

Resolved, That in accordance with Article XI, Section 7 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963, the House of Representatives will proceed with the election from its own body three members whose duty it shall be to prosecute such impeachment and that these members are authorized and empowered to prepare and present the Articles of Impeachment adopted by this resolution.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

Reps. Graves, Miller, Brinks, Canfield, Cochran, Ellison, Faris, Gay-Dagnogo, Green, Greig, Howrylak, Hughes, Lasinski, Liberati, Maturen, Singh, Sneller, Theis and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 400.

A resolution to declare October 9, 2018, as PANS and PANDAS Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS) and pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with streptococcal (PANDAS) create the sudden onset of obsessive-compulsive disorder in children, causing previously healthy and emotionally adjusted children to experience severe anxiety and emotional disturbances; and

Whereas, Children with PANS and PANDAS tend to manifest some of the following symptoms: tics or other abnormal movements, severe separation anxiety, generalized anxiety, irritability, aggression, personality changes, ADHD, marked deterioration in learning and school performance, and developmental regression, including deterioration in handwriting; and

Whereas, PANS is broader than PANDAS as it includes not only disorders associated with a preceding infection, such as Mycoplasma Pneumoniae, Mono, Lyme, viruses, and more, but also acute onset non-infectious triggers, such as environmental factors and metabolic dysfunction. Treatment plans for PANS similar to those for PANDAS should be attempted; and

Whereas, Children with PANS and PANDAS may experience moderate to dramatic improvement with antibiotics, intravenous immunoglobulin treatment, or plasmapheresis; and

Whereas, Researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health are currently engaged in extensive research and testing on how to effectively treat PANS and PANDAS; and

Whereas, PANS and PANDAS has been estimated to affect approximately one out of every 200 children in the United States and is likely to be as common as pediatric cancer and pediatric diabetes; and

Whereas, It is imperative to educate the public to increase awareness of PANS and PANDAS and to work towards further research of this serious health issue; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 9, 2018, as PANS and PANDAS Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Hammoud, Brinks, Canfield, Cochran, Ellison, Faris, Gay-Dagnogo, Geiss, Green, Greig, Howrylak, Lasinski, Liberati, Marino, Maturen, Moss, Singh, Sneller, Sowerby and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 401.

A resolution to declare September 26, 2018, as National Recovery Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, National Recovery Day is a time of activities and educational events to support individuals and families dealing with mental and substance use disorders; and

Whereas, Behavioral health is an essential part of one’s overall health and wellness. Prevention and treatment methods for mental and substance use disorders have proven to be effective, helping one achieve an emotionally and physically healthy lifestyle; and

Whereas, Organizations such as the SAFE Substance Abuse Coalition, in partnership with Michigan communities, aim to dispel the myths and stigmas about drug addiction through public education, sharing stories of recovery, creating positive social change, and providing recovery support services for those in need; and

Whereas, Many communities in our state are affected by mental and substance use disorders; and

Whereas, Relatives and friends of people with these disorders shall implement preventive measures, recognize signs of a problem, and guide those in need to appropriate treatment and recovery support services; and

Whereas, To help more individuals achieve and sustain long term recovery, the Michigan House of Representatives, along with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration, and the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy invite all residents to recognize September as National Recovery Day and participate in National Recovery Day today and throughout this year and all years ahead; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 26, 2018, as National Recovery Day in the state of Michigan. We call upon the people in our communities to observe this month with appropriate programs, activities, and educational events to support the individuals and families dealing with issues related to mental and substance use disorders and supporting the National Recovery Day agenda.

Reps. Durhal, Brinks, Canfield, Cochran, Ellison, Faris, Gay-Dagnogo, Geiss, Green, Greig, Howrylak, Hughes, Lasinski, Liberati, Maturen, Singh, Sneller, Sowerby and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 402.

A resolution to declare September 27, 2018, as Polycythemia Vera State Action Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Polycythemia vera is a specific type of myeloproliferative neoplasm. It is a rare blood cancer that primarily affects more men than women over the age of 60; and

Whereas, More than 100,000 Americans live with polycythemia vera; and

Whereas, The cause of polycythemia vera is due to a mutation in a gene that causes a problem with an abundance of blood cell production; and

Whereas, Polycythemia vera is not genetic, contagious, or directly inherited, but studies show there are genetic factors that indicate certain individuals are susceptible to the disease; and

Whereas, Polycythemia vera symptoms occur because of abnormalities affecting the formation of blood cells that result in an overproduction of red blood cells and, to a lesser extent, the overproduction of white blood cells and platelets; and

Whereas, There is no known cure for polycythemia vera; and

Whereas, The goals of Polycythemia Vera State Action Day is to invite people to join the movement to end polycythemia vera, encourage everyone to do something to demonstrate their commitment to moving toward a world free of polycythemia vera, and to acknowledge those who have dedicated their time and talent to help promote polycythemia vera research and programs; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 27, 2018, as Polycythemia Vera State Action Day in the state of Michigan. We support the goals and ideals of Polycythemia Vera State Action Day and encourage media organizations to participate in Polycythemia State Action Day and help educate the public about the rare condition; and be it further

Resolved, That this legislative body recognizes and reaffirms the commitment of the Voices of MPN and Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to combat polycythemia vera by promoting awareness about its causes and risks and by promoting new education programs, supporting research, and expanding access to medical treatment; and be it further

Resolved, That this legislative body recognizes all people in Michigan living with polycythemia vera expresses gratitude to their family members and friends who are a source of love and encouragement to them, and salutes the health care professionals and medical researchers who provide assistance to those so afflicted and continue to work to find cures and improve treatments; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

House Resolution No. 403.

A resolution to declare September 23-29, 2018, as National Recovery Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Behavioral health is an essential part of health and one’s overall wellness; and

Whereas, Prevention of mental and substance use disorders works, treatment is effective, and people recover in our area and around the nation; and

Whereas, Preventing and overcoming mental and substance use disorders is essential to achieving healthy lifestyles, both physically and emotionally; and

Whereas, We must encourage relatives and friends of people with mental and substance use disorders to implement preventive measures, recognize the signs of a problem, and guide those in need to appropriate treatment and recovery support services; and

Whereas, To help more people achieve and sustain long-term recovery, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) invite all residents of Michigan to participate in National Recovery Month; now, therefore, be it

______

Rep. Howrylak, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

Why the obsession with creating more criminal penalties and harsher penalties with no study or justification of the sentence length? There is no empirical data behind the penalties embedded in this bill to justify them. They are random and without rational reasoning for their lengths. All this, and yet we have an established Criminal Justice Policy Commission that could easily evaluate the merits of the purported crime and determine a reasonable and rational penalty. Indeed, it may very well be that fines, disqualifications, probation or other corrective action would be a better approach than creating more people with criminal records, thus rendering them wards of the state during their time in jails and prisons.”

Rep. Lauwers moved that House Bill No. 6108 be placed on its immediate passage.

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

House Bill No. 6108, entitled

A bill to amend 1927 PA 175, entitled “The code of criminal procedure,” by amending section 11d of chapter XVII (MCL 777.11d), as amended by 2018 PA 124.

Was read a third time and passed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor, by yeas and nays, as follows:

______

Rep. Howrylak, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

The sentencing guidelines in this bill should have been reviewed by the Michigan Criminal Justice Policy Commission. It is critical, for the administration of justice in this state, that criminal penalties be based on measurable and verified data, with input from individuals directly involved with criminal justice issues. Such a body is already in existence with the Criminal Justice Policy Commission. It is a shame that this body’s knowledge and expertise is not used to the full extent of its abilities in this regards. The advice of that body, when it comes to sentencing guidelines, would be extremely helpful and very beneficial to the people of our state.”

Rep. Lauwers moved that House Committees be given leave to meet during the balance of today’s session.

The motion prevailed.

By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of
