Rabbi Paul Yedwab, Rabbi of Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, offered the following invocation:

“I have never been one to believe that God takes sides in political contests, or cares who wins for instance a University of Michigan/ MSU basketball game (although to some it may have seemed that way the other day), but I do know one thing: I know that God loves the people of Michigan, and thus the work you do together on our behalf is holy work. For we are entrusting our children to you; our futures to you: to your capable hands, to your loving hearts and yes, to your very best intentions.

You see, the representative who invited me here today grew up in my congregation and thus I have had the pleasure of watching him grow from a rambunctious little boy into the dignified and capable state leader that he has must surely become. And yes, I am shepping nachas (that means I am very proud). But that is in spite of the fact that he and I rarely vote for the same party. Although I did vote for him. And I did so not because I agree with him on every issue, but rather because I know what kind of human being he is. I know his heart. I know his commitment, and perhaps most importantly, I trust his intentions. And I mention this as part of this invocation, not to embarrass him, although I most assuredly have, but rather to share with all of you, on behalf of your constituents, the citizens you represent, that we trust your intentions. That we have faith in your human hearts, and pray that you will recognize that the representative sitting across the political aisle from you, may also have the very best of intentions. For I know you will agree with me, that the welfare of our great state stands above any partisan divisions that might divide us.

So, it is in that spirit that I invoke God’s blessing on this convocation. May God bless all of you in the sacred work that you have undertaken on our behalf, and may God bless our beautiful state of Michigan.”

The Speaker called the Speaker Pro Tempore to the Chair.

Rep. Rabhi moved that Rep. Ellison be excused from today’s session.

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Rendon, Hoitenga, Paquette, Afendoulis, Bellino, Hall, Leutheuser, LaFave, O’Malley, Markkanen, Crawford, Wentworth, Wakeman, Maddock, Eisen, Miller, Vaupel, Wozniak, Brann, Hornberger, Wendzel, Allor, Lower, Calley, Reilly, Schroeder, Yaroch and Bollin offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 28.

A resolution opposing the lawsuit filed by Michigan’s Attorney General challenging the President’s emergency declaration to build a wall on the southern border of the United States.

Whereas, The National Emergencies Act allows the President to declare a national emergency and redistribute certain funds to aid in rectifying that emergency; and

Whereas, The United States southern border with Mexico covers nearly 2,000 miles from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. Many areas of this border remain unprotected, providing numerous points of entry for the nearly 400,000 illegal aliens and 1.5 million pounds of illegal drugs that cross into the United States each year; and

Whereas, Citing illegal border crossings and the rampant crime, drugs, and smuggling associated with those crossings, President Trump declared a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border on February 15, 2019. The national emergency declaration will redistribute Department of Defense funds to be used to build a border wall; and

Whereas, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and 15 other state Attorneys General have filed a lawsuit challenging the President’s authority to declare a national emergency. This action taken by the Attorneys General is a political stunt engineered to prevent the securing of our borders while wasting taxpayer dollars; and

Whereas, Protecting the health and safety of the American people is one of the President’s most important duties. Interfering with his ability to secure the southern border by delaying the construction of a border wall is dangerous and misguided; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we oppose the lawsuit filed by Michigan’s Attorney General challenging the President’s emergency declaration to build a wall on the southern border of the United States; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Attorney General and the Governor.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Military, Veterans and Homeland Security.

Reps. Filler, Bollin, Cherry, Garza, Haadsma, Hood, Hope, Lasinski, Manoogian, Pohutsky, Shannon, Stone and Warren offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 29.

A resolution to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Michigan Fraternal Order of Police.

Whereas, The Michigan Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) was formed in 1939 by police officers in Jackson, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, Monroe, and Niles; and

Whereas, The Michigan FOP has over 10,000 members today in the state. The organization has 54 lodges all over Michigan including Detroit, Grand Rapids, Warren, Sterling Heights, Muskegon, Bay City, Saginaw, Flint, and many more; and

Whereas, The Michigan FOP has held a seat on the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards since MCOLES’s inception in 1965 and also holds seats on the 911 Advisory Committee and the Sheriffs Advisory Committee; and

Whereas, The Michigan FOP is the driving force behind the Michigan Law Enforcement Officers Memorial; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Michigan Fraternal Order of Police. We urge all citizens to observe this momentous occasion.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Vaupel, Crawford, Allor, Haadsma, Hood, Hope, Lasinski, Shannon, Stone and Warren offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 2.

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 House of Representatives (the Senate 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 concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Families, Children, and Seniors.

Reps. LaFave, Tate, Markkanen, Mueller, Yaroch, Reilly and Hood offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 3.

A concurrent resolution to call on the Michigan Veterans’ Facility Authority to ensure plans for the new state veterans homes include designated smoking areas.

Whereas, The state of Michigan has committed to the process of updating its system of veterans homes to create a sustainable and responsive network of homes that meets the long-term care and aging needs of all Michigan veterans. One of the first steps in this process is replacing the outdated Grand Rapids Home for Veterans with a new and improved facility and building a new home in Macomb County; and

Whereas, The proposed architectural drawings for the new homes in Grand Rapids and Macomb County do not include designated smoking areas. Michigan’s two current veterans homes provide smoking areas; and

Whereas, Many veterans are smokers. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), three out of every ten veterans use tobacco products, primarily smoking tobacco. In Michigan, that means around 175,000 veterans may be smokers at the time the new Grand Rapids Home for Veterans is scheduled to open; and

Whereas, Smoking was a regular part of military life and encouraged by our Armed Forces. For decades, the C-rations issued to the members of the military in the field included cigarettes. Many veterans entered military service nonsmokers but left a regular smoker; and

Whereas, The 2016 Michigan Veterans Workgroup envisioned a network of regional veterans homes that ensures every veteran gets the right care and is a destination for all veterans in that region. This legislative body shares that vision, and it was an important consideration in the Legislature’s approval of $42 million in funding for the construction of two new veterans homes, including the new Grand Rapids Home for Veterans; and

Whereas, New veterans homes will fail to meet the vision of serving all veterans without the inclusion of designated smoking areas. Veterans will not feel welcome or comfortable at a home that does not accommodate smoking and travelling long distances to homes with smoking areas would defeat the goal of easily accessible regional care. A lack of smoking areas will create a barrier to nearly a third of Michigan veterans receiving the care they have earned and deserve through service to our country; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we call on the Michigan Veterans’ Facility Authority to ensure plans for the new state veterans homes include enclosed, climate-controlled designated smoking areas attached to buildings; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the members of the Michigan Veterans’ Facility Authority Board of Directors.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Military, Veterans and Homeland Security.
