Rev. Shannon Truelove, Pastor of Full Gospel Assembly in Hartford, offered the following invocation:

“Dear Most Precious Heavenly Father,

We come to You in this Hallowed Chamber knowing that Your scripture declares in 2 Chronicles 7:14 ‘If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.’

We realize that You are the author and the finisher of our faith and today we diligently seek You for Your word declares in Hebrews 11:6 ‘But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.’

The United States and the state of Michigan is in need of spiritual healing and today we call upon You for this healing. Today, we look to You for Divine Providence for answers as the Representatives in this Sacred Chamber collaborate on decisions that need to be made for the state of Michigan. It is our prayer to seek to do Your will in every proposal, discussion or vote that happens today.

Your scripture declare Romans 13:1 ‘Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.’ This is all the more reason to pray for our state leaders. We lift up in prayer, the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the Attorney General, the Michigan Court Justices, U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, All our State Senators and all State Representatives. We pray that You direct their hearts as they vote on policies and proposals. We pray that You give them sound minds to search out the truth not according what man’s ways are but according to what Your ways are. We pray that You give them wisdom to make decisions that are godly and pleasing in Your sight. We pray for Your hand of protection upon them and that You give them hearts that are after Your will and Your ways. We lift them up in prayer and honor them for their willingness to serve their communities and this wonderful state of Michigan.

Today we pray Your Divine Presence upon this House. Heavenly Father please send Your Holy Spirt to lead, guide, direct, and protect the men and women in this House. We ask You to bless them and their families. Heavenly Father, we acknowledge our dependence on You, and ask Your blessings upon us, our communities, our counties, our state, and our country.

We ask all these prayers in Jesus Name! Amen!”

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Farrington, Berman, Clemente, Crawford, Garza, Jones, Shannon, Sneller, Tate, Wittenberg and Witwer offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 35.

A resolution to declare March 2019 as Athletic Trainer Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Athletic trainers have a long history of providing quality health care for many types of patients and have acquired specific knowledge and skills through their nationally regulated educational processes; and

Whereas, Athletic trainers provide for the treatment of an injury or illness through risk management and injury prevention, wellness promotion, clinical evaluation and assessment, immediate and emergency care, and through rehabilitation and reconditioning; and

Whereas, The National Athletic Trainers Association represents and supports 45,000 members of the athletic training profession, and more than 1,600 licensed in the state of Michigan, employed in professional and Olympic sports, colleges and universities, high schools, clinics, rural and urban hospitals, urgent and ambulatory care centers, corporate and industrial settings, performing arts centers, military branches, police and fire departments and physician practices; and

Whereas, Leading organizations concerned with athletic training and health care have joined together in a common desire to raise public awareness of the importance of the athletic training profession and to emphasize the importance of quality health care within the aforementioned settings. Such an effort will promote the athletic training profession and provide compassionate health care for all; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representative, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2019 as Athletic Trainer Month in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Clemente, Sowerby, Brixie, Sneller, Ellison, Garza, Brenda Carter, Camilleri, Kennedy, Pagan, Coleman, Manoogian, Love, Berman, Cherry, Hope, Jones, Lasinski, Pohutsky, Shannon, Stone, Tate, Wittenberg and Witwer offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 36.

A resolution to declare March 7, 2019, as Rare Disease Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), there are nearly 7,000 diseases and conditions considered rare (each affecting fewer than 200,000 Americans) in the United States; and

Whereas, While each of these diseases may affect small numbers of people, rare diseases as a group affect almost 30 million Americans; and

Whereas, Many rare diseases are serious and depilating conditions that have a significant impact on the lives of those affected. We believe this resolution can raise awareness and save lives; and

Whereas, While the public is familiar with some rare diseases such as Lou Gehrig’s disease and sympathetic to those affected, many patients and families affected by less widely known rare disorders bear a large share of the burden of funding research and raising awareness to support the search for treatments; and

Whereas, Thousands of residents in Michigan are among those affected by rare diseases as nearly one in ten Americans has a rare disease; and

Whereas, The National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) is organizing a nationwide observance of Rare Disease Awareness Day on March 7, 2019; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 7, 2019, as Rare Disease Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

House Resolution No. 37.

A resolution to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the American Legion.

Whereas, From March 15th through the 17th in 1919, a group of American World War I Doughboys gathered in Paris, France to discuss the ways to serve their country on the home front. At those meetings, the American Legion was born; and

Whereas, Since 1919, the American Legion has been dedicated to the perpetuation of America’s core values of freedom, justice, equality, respect for all people regardless of ethnic group or gender, and reverence for cherished American traditions such as honoring the flag of the United States; and

Whereas, For over 200 years, millions of Americans have answered our nation’s call to defend our freedoms and our democratic form of government against all enemies; and

Whereas, Such service has required sacrifice, hardship, endurance, dedication, bravery, courage, and the highest level of patriotism. Those who have served our country deserve special attention as freedom is not free and these are the men and women who paid for the freedom all of us enjoy today; and

Whereas, In the past 100 years, the American Legion and its members have made considerable contributions to our country as an advocate for traditional American values, veterans’ rights and benefits, a strong national defense, and honoring the memory of those whose sacrifices preserved our freedom; and

Whereas, So many good things can be traced to the service of the 3 million members of the American Legion family, including the GI Bill, creation of a cabinet level Department of Veterans Affairs, and the national movement to return to the people the right to protect the U.S. flag from physical desecration; and

Whereas, We must never forget the debt we owe these men and women and we must also never take for granted the unselfish sacrifices they made to protect the freedom and liberty we enjoy today; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the 100th anniversary of the American Legion. We honor America’s 19.8 million veterans and call upon the citizens of Michigan to recognize this momentous occasion; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the American Legion as evidence of our highest esteem.

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

Rep. Cole moved that Rule 71 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.

Reps. Lasinski, Pagan, Ellison, Warren, Sowerby, Hertel, Cambensy, Hood, Pohutsky, Stone, Tyrone Carter, Shannon, Garza, Brenda Carter, Kennedy, Manoogian, Cynthia Johnson, Witwer, Garrett, Byrd, Berman, Anthony, Coleman, Kuppa, Hope, Elder, Yancey, Haadsma, Bolden, Brixie, Rabhi, Hammoud, Robinson, Love, Afendoulis, Brann, Cherry, Frederick, Inman, Jones, Koleszar, Neeley, O’Malley, Sabo, Sneller, Tate, Wendzel, Wentworth, Wittenberg and Wozniak offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 38.

A resolution to declare March 8, 2019, as International Women’s Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, March 8, 2019, marks the 108th anniversary of the celebration of International Women’s Day. Originally called International Working Women’s Day, it is celebrated on March 8 of every year; and

Whereas, International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the economic, political, and social achievements of women in the past, present, and future. It is a day when women are recognized for their achievements, regardless of divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic, or political. It is an occasion for looking back on past struggles and accomplishments and, more importantly, for looking ahead to the untapped potential and opportunities that await future generations of women; and

Whereas, In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation, and love towards women to a celebration for women’s economic, political, and social achievements; and

Whereas, The earliest Women’s Day observance was held in 1909 in New York and was organized in remembrance of the strike of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers Union. At the second International Women’s Conference in 1910, the first International Women’s Day was officially established to promote equal rights, including suffrage, for women. The following year, International Women’s Day was marked by over a million people in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland. The efforts of early European pioneers led to women gaining the right to vote and to hold public office and the establishment of many early prohibitions against employment sex discrimination; and

Whereas, In 1975, during the United Nations (UN) International Year for Women, the UN held its first official celebration of International Women’s Day. Two years later, in December 1977, the General Assembly adopted a resolution proclaiming a United Nations Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace to be observed by member states. In adopting this resolution, the General Assembly recognized the role of women in peace efforts and development and urged an end to discrimination and an increase of support for women’s full and equal participation; and

Whereas, Beginning in 1996, International Women’s Day organizers began adopting a theme to each year’s celebrations that reinforces its commitment to women’s rights and world peace. Successful campaigns centered on such themes as “Celebrating the Past, Planning for the Future” (1996) and “Women in Decision-Making” (2006); and

Whereas, Presidents of the United States have consecutively declared March to be Women’s History Month since 1988 after the National Women’s History Project petitioned the United States Congress in 1987 for recognition of Women’s History Month, and have since announced the 2019 theme of “Visionary Women: Champions of Peace & Nonviolence”; and

Whereas, On the occasion of 2010 International Women’s Day, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) drew attention to the hardships displaced women endure by spreading awareness of the displacement of populations as one of the gravest consequences of today’s armed conflicts; and

Whereas, There are more than 3.7 billion women in the world today. Women around the world participate in the political, social, and economic life of their communities, play a critical role in providing and caring for their families, contribute substantially to the growth of economies, and, as both farmers and caregivers, play an important role in advancing food security for their communities; and

Whereas, The advancement of women is a public policy priority for our country and the state of Michigan and the ability of women to realize their full potential is critical to the ability of a country and state to achieve strong and lasting economic growth and social stability; and

Whereas, According to the International Monetary Fund, “focusing on the needs and empowerment of women is one of the keys to human development” and according to the 2012 World Economic Forum Global Gender Gap Report, “reducing gender inequality enhances productivity and economic growth”; and

Whereas, According to the World Bank 2012 World Development Report: Gender Equality and Development, “greater gender equality is also smart economics, enhancing productivity and improving other development outcomes, including prospects for the next generation and for the quality of societal policies and institutions”; and

Whereas, Although strides have been made in recent decades, women around the world continue to face significant obstacles in all aspects of their lives, including underrepresentation in all aspects of public life, denial of basic human rights, and discrimination; and

Whereas, Despite some achievements by individual women leaders, women around the world are still vastly underrepresented in high level positions and in national and local legislatures and governments and, according to the Inter-Parliamentary Union, women account for only 24 percent of national parliamentarians; and

Whereas, Women remain underrepresented in conflict prevention and conflict resolution efforts, despite proven successes by women in conflict-affected regions in moderating violent extremism, resolving disputes through non-violent mediation and negotiation, and stabilizing their societies by improving access to peace and security services, institutions, and decision making venues; and

Whereas, According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the majority of women living in rural areas of the developing world are heavily engaged in agricultural labor, yet they receive less credit, land, agricultural inputs, and training than their male counterparts; and

Whereas, It is imperative to alleviate violence and discrimination against women and afford them every opportunity to be full and productive members of their communities; and

Whereas, March 8 is recognized each year as International Women’s Day, a global day to celebrate the economic, political, and social achievements of women past, present, and future, and a day to recognize the obstacles that women still face in the struggle for equal rights and opportunities; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 8, 2019, as International Women’s Day in the state of Michigan. We support the goals of International Women’s Day, recognize that the empowerment of women is inextricably linked to the potential of countries to generate economic growth, sustainable democracy, and inclusive security, honor the women in the United States and around the world who have worked throughout history to ensure that women are guaranteed equality and basic human rights, reaffirm the movement’s commitment to ending discrimination and violence against women and girls, to ensuring the safety and welfare of women and girls, and to pursuing policies that guarantee the basic human rights of women and girls worldwide, and encourage the people of Michigan to observe International Women’s Day with appropriate programs and activities.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.
