May God grant you the ability to focus in the midst of the distractions surrounding us. In God’s name, see His will here today, and in the harmony of each other, praise God. Please, God, reveal Your will to us. May God grant you the insight to see His will in the choices before you. May God grant you the empathy to be compassionate. May God grant you the wisdom to be just. May God grant you the courage to act accordingly. May God grant you the gratitude to know that your differences are your strengths and your actions are your prayers. May you love God, love yourselves, love your family, and love the people of Michigan. Please, God, reveal Your will to them. May God grant you the courage to do His will to the best of your ability here today. God bless you, your families, and the people of Michigan. Peace be with you.
Thank you for your service, and please join me in a prayer that doesn’t just really talk strictly to Christianity, only to God: “Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory. Amen.”

Resolutions
Senator Kowall moved that consideration of the following resolutions be postponed for today:
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 10
Senate Resolution No. 30
The motion prevailed.
Senator Emmons offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 107.
A resolution commemorating the week of October 16-20, 2017, as Michigan School Bus Safety Week.
Whereas, Riding on a school bus is arguably the most efficient and safest form of transportation for schoolchildren as they are transported to and from school or school-related events; and
Whereas, One school bus replaces 44 automobiles on the highway reducing crashes, air pollution, and fuel consumption; and
Whereas, Studies indicate schoolchildren are 9 times more likely to be fatally or seriously injured while riding with an adult and 44 times more likely to be fatally or seriously injured when riding with a teenager to or from school than riding on a school bus; and
Whereas, There are 824 school bus fleets in the state of Michigan, ranging in size from 1 to 300 school buses. These fleets service both public and private schools, with the average size fleet being 18 buses; and
Whereas, 20,000 highly trained school bus drivers safely transport schoolchildren on a daily basis. These drivers undergo basic and advanced driver training, performance testing, fingerprinting, continuous driver record and criminal background checks, random alcohol and drug testing, and biennial medical examinations; and
Whereas, There are nearly 17,000 school buses in service across our state, and all school buses must follow a rigorous local maintenance program and an annual Michigan State Police 190-point performance and safety inspection; and
Whereas, Michigan law requires motorists to prepare to stop when a school bus displays its overhead alternately flashing amber lights and to stop when a school bus displays its overhead alternately flashing red lights. Further, when a school bus displays its hazard amber flashing lights, a motorist should proceed slowly and with caution while passing; and
Whereas, Approximately 636,000 early childhood, primary, and secondary students plus 36,000 special needs schoolchildren ride to and from school each day; and
Whereas, Nearly 900,000 miles are logged each day by school buses, with the average bus travelling between 72 miles and 136 miles a day, and between 13,000 and 25,000 miles each year; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we recognize the importance and good work of all involved in safely transporting children to and from school each day; and be it further
Resolved, That the members of this legislative body designate the week of October 16-20, 2017, as Michigan School Bus Safety Week; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Secretary of State Ruth Johnson.
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, Conyers, Hansen, Hertel, Hildenbrand, Hood, Hopgood, Knollenberg, Kowall, Proos, Schmidt and Zorn were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.
Senators Bieda and Hertel offered the following concurrent resolution:
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 26.
A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to ban bump stocks.
Whereas, Civilian possession of new, fully automatic weapons that reload automatically and fire continuously with one trigger pull is prohibited under the federal Firearm Owners’ Protection Act of 1986. Semi-automatic rifles that reload automatically, but fire only once per trigger pull, may be lawfully purchased by eligible residents of the United States. An individual must pass a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) check prior to the purchase of any firearm in America; and
Whereas, A number of accessories are manufactured to enhance the performance of firearms. One such accessory is the bump stock, determined to be a firearm part by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in 2010. The bump stock alters the speed at which an individual can pull the trigger of a firearm. Although only one bullet is fired with each trigger pull, the bump stock significantly speeds up the trigger pull, making the weapon fire, essentially, like an automatic weapon. A firearm equipped with a bump stock can fire as many as 800 rounds per minute. A semi-automatic weapon equipped with a bump stock is not readily distinguishable from a fully automatic weapon. Bump stocks can be purchased without a NICS check; and
Whereas, Fifty-eight people were killed and more than 500 injured in the recent shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada. The high fatality and injury rates were caused, in part, by the shooter’s use of bump stocks on several semi-automatic weapons; and
Whereas, The Automatic Gun Fire Prevention Act (S. 1916 and H.R. 3999) currently pending in Congress would prohibit the manufacture, possession, or transfer of bump stocks or any accessory designed to increase the rate of fire from a semi-automatic rifle; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to ban bump stocks; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
Pursuant to rule 3.204, the concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
Senators Brandenburg, Conyers, Hood, Hopgood and Warren were named co‑sponsors of the concurrent resolution.
By unanimous consent the Senate returned to the order of

Statements
Senator Knollenberg asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Knollenberg’s statement is as follows:
I just want to take a moment to pay a special tribute. I realize that we’re not in session next week and one of the key members of my staff found a land of opportunity, which is always wonderful for our staff people because without them, we would not be in the place we’re in. I’m really going to miss Matt Patton. I’ve known Matt for a long time. We worked together back in the House of Representatives and I knew him prior to that. He worked for my dad, Congressman Joe Knollenberg, back in the 1990s, and so we have a long history with Matt Patton and the Knollenberg family. He’s been a truly dedicated servant to both myself and my dad. I’m sorry to see him leave. He’s a friend, someone I respect, a mentor, and he’s helped me out on a number of issues. His loyalty and hard work, camaraderie and trust—he has a lot of qualities and traits. We’re almost one in many respects, so I’m going to miss him.
I have a real simple ask of him, and that is given all the food that I’ve provided for him in the last several months or so at my restaurant, I think he owes me, at the very least, free rides in his new position when he works for Lyft. I’m going to keep you to that, Matt. I’m waiting for that free ride. Let’s give him a warm welcome and wish him the best of luck.
