Motions
and Resolutions
House Resolution No. 110.
A
resolution to declare May 23, 2019, as Stop the Bleed Day in the state of
Michigan.
Whereas,
The “Stop the Bleed” campaign is a national awareness effort to educate people
about the importance of bleeding control measures, encourage all Michigan
citizens to participate in the initiative, and learn more about the importance
of bleeding-control measures; and
Whereas,
Each year, more than 180,000 people die from traumatic injuries sustained as a
result of events including motor vehicle crashes, falls, industrial and farm
accidents, natural disasters, and tragic mass casualty events; and
Whereas,
Trauma is the leading cause of death in the United States for individuals under
age 44 and the fourth leading cause of death overall; and
Whereas,
The most common preventable cause of death in these situations is the loss of
too much blood in the minutes before trained immediate responders arrive; and
Whereas,
Bleeding control is best performed with use of pressure or tourniquets within
the initial moments of trauma and anyone can be trained to act as an immediate
responder to stop a life-threatening hemorrhage. Military experience has proven
that bleeding control techniques result in reduced rates of death from a
hemorrhage; and
Whereas,
May 23 is National Stop the Bleed Day. The “Stop the Bleed” campaign is a
call-to-action movement intended to cultivate grassroots efforts that encourage
bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding
emergency before professional help arrives; and
Whereas,
Providing Michigan citizens with the best chance of survival includes educating
them with the knowledge and skills to perform immediate bleeding control and
encouraging public places to equip bleeding control kits; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body
declare May 23, 2019, as Stop the Bleed Day in the state of Michigan.
The question on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Paquette, Bollin, Ellison, Miller, Yaroch, Cherry, Crawford,
Garza, Haadsma, Hope, Jones, Kuppa, Liberati, Sabo, Shannon, Sneller, Warren,
Webber, Wittenberg and Witwer offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 111.
A
resolution to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the founding of the Michigan
Municipal League.
Whereas,
May 23, 2019, marks 120 years of the Michigan Municipal League’s presence in
the state of Michigan; and
Whereas, The origins of the Michigan Municipal
League were initiated in 1899 when a group of mayors sought to collaborate with
one another and form an organization to focus on ‘good government’ and strengthen
the concept of home rule. The original bylaws envisioned an organization whose
purpose was “the affiliation of municipal officials and the general improvement
of every branch of municipal administration…”; and
Whereas, Michigan organized a state municipal league in 1899, following
California, Indiana, Iowa, and Wisconsin.
The organization was known as the League of Michigan Municipalities, and its
founding members were: Adrian, Albion, Alpena, Ann Arbor, Battle Creek, Bay
City, Benton Harbor, Big Rapids, Cadillac, Charlevoix, Charlotte, Coldwater, Detroit, Dowagiac, Eaton Rapids,
Flint, Grand Haven, Grand Ledge, Grand Rapids, Hillsdale,
Holly, Hudson, Ionia, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Lansing, Ludington, Manistee,
Marshall, Mason, Monroe, Muskegon, Niles, Owosso, Pontiac, Port Huron,
Rochester, Saginaw, St. Louis, Stanton, St. Joseph, Traverse City, Wyandotte, and Ypsilanti; and
Whereas, The League’s continuity was secured in 1928 by creating a
permanent home in Ann Arbor, hiring a full-time employee, publishing a
periodical, and establishing a clearinghouse of information. Harold D. Smith
was the first director and built the League into a statewide organization by
doubling membership his first year and doubling it again in his second year;
and
Whereas, In 1957, the League expanded its presence by establishing an
additional consultation and research office in Lansing and ten years later held
its first legislative conference bolstering its advocacy and coverage of
municipal issues at the state level; and
Whereas, One hundred and twenty years later, the
mission statement reads: “The Michigan Municipal League is
dedicated to making Michigan’s communities better by thoughtfully innovating
programs, energetically connecting ideas and people, actively serving members
with resources and services, and passionately inspiring positive change for
Michigan’s greatest centers of potential: its communities”; and
Whereas, The League continues its legacy of service to meet the
challenges of 515 of Michigan’s cities and villages; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this
legislative body commemorate the 120th anniversary of the founding of the
Michigan Municipal League; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan
Municipal League as evidence of our esteem for being Michigan’s voice for local
government over the last 120 years.
The question on the adoption of the
resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
House Resolution No. 112.
A resolution to declare May 23, 2019, as Centenarian Day in the state of
Michigan.
Whereas, The state of Michigan includes a growing number of older
Americans who enrich our community through their diverse life experiences and
are recognized and celebrated each May during Older Americans Month; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan is committed to strengthening our
community by connecting with and supporting older adults, their families, and
caregivers by acknowledging the many valuable contributions to society that our
older adults have made to the betterment of our community; and
Whereas, The United States has the greatest number of centenarians in
the world. In 2011, Michigan was home to more than 1,700 centenarians; and
Whereas, Longevity of life is a blessing for an individual and for a
community which benefits from the knowledge, creativity, and experiences each
individual brings to all; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan recognizes with respect and admiration
the contributions of all of its citizens, but especially those who are
embarking on a century of living; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this
legislative body declare May 23, 2019, as Centenarian Day in the state of
Michigan. We urge every resident to join in the celebration of our community
friends and neighbors who are marking 100 years of living, contributing, and
enriching our lives and community.

Messages
from the Senate
Senate Concurrent Resolution 8.
A concurrent resolution to declare
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) a critical health issue, commit the
Legislature to action, and encourage the Governor to direct agencies to assess
and report progress on reducing ACEs.
Whereas, Adverse Childhood Experiences
(ACEs) are now widely recognized as a dominant factor in the current and future
well-being of children due to the harmful effects of toxic stress related to
abuse (including physical, emotional, and sexual abuse), neglect (including
physical and emotional neglect), and various family dysfunctions; and
Whereas, The relationship between ACEs
and future health issues and conditions has an evidence-based foundation
starting with the groundbreaking ACE study conducted collaboratively between
the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Kaiser Permanente.
This study has been cited more than 17,000 times in peer-reviewed scientific
research articles; and
Whereas, The
growing body of evidence on the science of human development incorporates
research findings on ACEs and the long-term neurobiological, biomedical, and
epigenetic consequences of toxic stress; and
Whereas, National and
state surveys indicate that as many as 70 percent of Michigan adults had at
least one ACE during their childhood and as much as 20 percent of Michigan’s
adult population had four or more ACEs; and
Whereas, The relationship between ACEs
and the current prevalence of chronic disease, addictive behaviors, and related
conditions is now recognized by many as a major public health crisis. Nationwide,
these conditions and illnesses cost billions of dollars in resources and reduce
lifetime expectancy, and they all have their roots in childhood trauma; now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the
Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we declare that ACEs
constitute a critical health issue in Michigan and commit to an ongoing
strategy to significantly reduce ACEs in Michigan through legislative
leadership, legislative acts, appropriations, reporting, and oversight; and be
it further
Resolved, That we
encourage the Governor to issue an executive directive that would require
administrating agencies to assess if the
implementation of their programs reduces ACEs and provide an annual state
report and data to the Legislature and general public about progress in
reducing ACEs in Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this
resolution be transmitted to the Governor of the State of Michigan and the
Director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
The Senate has adopted the concurrent
resolution.
Reps. Cherry,
Crawford, Haadsma, Hope, Kuppa, Liberati, Warren and Wittenberg were named
co-sponsors of the concurrent resolution.
The concurrent resolution was referred
to the Committee on Health Policy.
