“Heavenly Father, we pause as we begin
this session to ask Your direction over all that is conducted here today. Only
with You can we do what is pleasing in Your sight. You have called members of
this House to positions of authority and responsibility among us in our state
of Michigan, our home. Thank You for each of them who answered that call to put
others first before self. May they be led by Your Spirit, noble in purpose,
strong in seeking equitable and fair resolutions to all the issues that
confront them. Keep them unwavering in their duty to serve.
As the Church observes this season of
Epiphany, we rejoice in the coming of the Light of the World, Jesus Christ. His
presence daily brings light and hope to our world. May our hearts be open to
receive that light, the love of God for every human being. In Jesus, we know ‘God
is with us’. Help us to hold Him in our hearts as our true treasure. Save us
from being caught up in the fleeting treasures this world peddles and adores.
Instead, may we seek those treasures that shine with a lasting radiance … peace
in our hearts flowing from sins forgiven and unconditional love from the Savior
Who reconciles us with You.
It has always been Your will, O God,
that we live our lives, shining forth Your light in peace and building up one
another. Teach us to examine our hearts daily that we might dispel all selfish
inclinations toward jealousy, bitterness and indifference. By Your precious
Word and powerful Spirit, root out all evil that would lead to strife, so that
we might truly live in unity with You and with one another. For those weighed
down by ongoing illness, persistent fear of the future, and crippling
addictions, may they seek Your face and wait patiently for their burden to be
lifted. For those who are lonely and often forgotten in the midst of life’s
rushed pace, surround them with caring people who reassure them of Your
steadfast love. For those brought low by unjust criticisms, alienated by
colleagues or constituents, open their eyes to see the lonely road of injustice
that led You to the cross, yet in the end, to accomplish our salvation … all
for love’s sake.
O God, bless all those who serve us so
faithfully in this room as members of the House. Bless all who have dedicated
their lives to the service of others – teachers in our schools who labor so
patiently with troubled little ones, often with little notice – all who wait
upon the public and deal with nagging criticisms, petty complaints. Bless every
humble soul who desires only to reflect You in these days of rage and stress
and strain. This we ask through Christ, our Lord. Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Sneller, Cherry, Warren, Lasinski, Pohutsky, Liberati, Chirkun,
Cynthia Johnson, Kennedy, Coleman, Hood, Byrd, Anthony, Sabo, Frederick,
Hertel, Hope, Robinson, LaGrand, Shannon, Stone, Tyrone Carter, Manoogian,
Guerra, Howell, Mueller, Gay-Dagnogo, Bolden, Kuppa, Jones, Garza, Whitsett,
Elder, Brixie, Yancey, Garrett, Sowerby, Tate, Love, Hoadley, Witwer and
Clemente offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 228.
A resolution to declare February
11, 2020, as White Shirt Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, We recognize Michigan’s
members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) as they gather to mark the 83rd
anniversary of their first contract with General Motors. This anniversary is a reflection
of the extreme sacrifice, commitment, and determination of those first UAW
members who paved the way for higher pay and improved benefits that have created
a positive atmosphere for all of America’s working men and women. We remember
those historic members on this anniversary; and
Whereas, On February 11, 2020,
UAW members and retirees will wear white shirts to commemorate the anniversary
of the end of the famous Flint Sit-Down Strike in 1937. While the members of
this distinguished organization celebrate the 83rd anniversary of this event,
we offer our thanks for the outstanding contributions they have made to the
Flint community, our state, and our nation; and
Whereas, The origin of the UAW’s
White Shirt Day can be traced back to 1948 when Bert Christensen, a member of
Local 598, first suggested it. His idea was to ask that workers wear the white
shirts traditionally worn by managers to show the company that they were
equally important to the business. The shirts represent equal respect and
treatment for blue-collar workers and the unity and strength of UAW members;
and
Whereas, With ceremonies to
celebrate its history, the members and officers of the UAW will remember the
vision of its founders and the commitment of its workers that have brought them
to this point. Fittingly, as they look to the past, they will also be casting
an eye to the future and to the many ways in which United Auto Workers will continue
to serve the working men and women of this great country; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 11,
2020, as White Shirt Day in the state of Michigan. We commemorate the 83rd
anniversary of the first United Auto Workers contract with General Motors and
commend everyone who has contributed to the UAW’s success. We applaud their
accomplishments and thank them for helping to strengthen and build Michigan’s communities,
workforce, and economy.
The
question being on the adoption of the resolution.
The
resolution was adopted.
Reps. Green, Markkanen, Steven Johnson, Filler and Webber offered the
following resolution:
House Resolution No. 229.
A resolution to urge the Congress
of the United States to submit the Regulation Freedom Amendment to the states
for ratification.
Whereas, The growth and abuse of
federal regulatory authority threaten our constitutional liberties, including
those guaranteed by the Bill of Rights in the First, Second, Fourth, and Fifth
amendments to the United States Constitution; and
Whereas, During the 115th
Congress, Congress and the President set a historic record for rolling back and
repealing abusive regulations through the Congressional Review Act (CRA), and
American families are seeing the benefits of economic growth created by the
lessening of federal regulatory control; and
Whereas, Congress and the
President’s successful use of the CRA has opened the door for further reforms
to the regulatory process, such as the REINS Act and the Regulation Freedom
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (RFA); and
Whereas, The REINS Act would
require congressional approval for regulations likely to result in an economic
impact of $100 million or more; major increases to costs or prices for
consumers, industries, government agencies, or regions; or significant adverse
effects on the ability of U.S.-based businesses to compete with foreign
companies. The U.S. House of Representatives passed a version of the REINS Act
in January 2017; and
Whereas, The RFA would go further
than the REINS Act, enshrining legislative review of administrative regulations
in the U.S. Constitution. In addition to regulations covered under the REINS
Act, the RFA would allow for the review of regulations affecting religious
freedom, Second Amendment rights, and other constitutional provisions Americans
hold dear; and
Whereas, The RFA has been
endorsed by states across the country. Twenty-eight legislative chambers,
spanning 18 states, have passed resolutions in support of adding the RFA to the
U.S. Constitution; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That we urge the Congress of the United States to submit the
following constitutional amendment, known as the Regulation Freedom Amendment,
to the states for ratification:
Whenever
one-quarter of the Members of the U.S. House or the U.S. Senate transmit to the
President their written declaration of opposition to a proposed federal
regulation, it shall require a majority vote of the House and Senate to adopt
that regulation.
; 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.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
House Resolution No. 230.
A resolution to support the
United Nations’ efforts to eliminate female genital mutilation worldwide, and
urge the state of Michigan to do everything it can to end female genital
mutilation in the state.
Whereas, Female genital
mutilation is a harmful practice that involves the removal of all or part of
the female genitalia. It is a human rights violation and serves no medical
purpose; and
Whereas, Female genital
mutilation has serious implications for the sexual and reproductive health of
girls and women. Victims of female genital mutilation experience psychological
trauma, pain, shock, bleeding, and other immediate injuries. Victims also face
long-term consequences such as complications during childbirth, anemia, the
formation of cysts and abscesses, painful sexual intercourse, sexual
dysfunction, increased risk of HIV transmission, and numerous other problems;
and
Whereas, Female genital
mutilation is a barbaric practice performed all over the world as a means of
controlling girls and women. An estimated 200 million girls and women alive
today have been subjected to female genital mutilation worldwide, and roughly
half a million girls and women in the United States have undergone female
genital mutilation or are considered to be at risk for it in the near future;
and
Whereas, The United Nations
passed a historic resolution in 2012 calling on all countries to intensify
global efforts to eliminate female genital mutilation. Countless other
organizations, countries, states, provinces, and municipalities have worked to
end female genital mutilation, but much more work needs to be done to support
the mission outlined in the resolution; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan
has the ability to make a significant difference in the fight against female
genital mutilation. By passing stronger criminal laws, devoting resources to
investigations, and engaging in a robust public health awareness campaign, the
state can save girls from this horrible crime and hold perpetrators
accountable; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That we support the United Nations’ efforts to eliminate
female genital mutilation worldwide, and urge the state of Michigan to do
everything it can to end female genital mutilation in the state; and be it
further
Resolved, That copies of this
resolution be transmitted to the Secretary General of the United Nations, the
United States Mission to the United Nations, the Governor, the Attorney
General, and the directors of the Department of State Police and Department of
Health and Human Services.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
Reps. Green, Markkanen, Filler, Steven Johnson and Webber offered the
following concurrent resolution:
House Concurrent Resolution No.
16.
A concurrent resolution to urge
the Congress of the United States to submit the Regulation Freedom Amendment to
the states for ratification.
Whereas, The growth and abuse of
federal regulatory authority threaten our constitutional liberties, including
those guaranteed by the Bill of Rights in the First, Second, Fourth, and Fifth
amendments to the United States Constitution; and
Whereas, During the 115th Congress,
Congress and the President set a historic record for rolling back and repealing
abusive regulations through the Congressional Review Act (CRA), and American
families are seeing the benefits of economic growth created by the lessening of
federal regulatory control; and
Whereas, Congress and the
President’s successful use of the CRA has opened the door for further reforms
to the regulatory process, such as the REINS Act and the Regulation Freedom

Whereas, The REINS Act would

Whenever
one-quarter of the Members of the U.S. House or the U.S. Senate transmit to the
