“Father in Heaven, Holy is Your Name.
May Your Kingdom come and Your will be done
here on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Thank You, Father, for the many blessings You
provide us every day, most of which we simply take for granted.
Thank You for life itself and for the measure
of health You have granted us.
Thank You for the ability
to be involved in useful work and for the honor of bearing appropriate
responsibilities.
Thank You for the wonders and the beauty and
the fruitfulness of this incredible piece of the Earth we have the privilege of
living on. Please help us to be good stewards of this marvelous state we call
Michigan.
Father, on behalf of my family, friends and
neighbors, I thank You for this group of individuals who dedicate their time
and talents to provide leadership and oversight to promote health and safety
and prosperity for all who live, work, travel, play and worship in our state.
I ask that You would grant them:
·
Wisdom to
govern amid the conflicting interests and issues of our times
·
A sense
of the welfare and true needs of our people
·
A keen
thirst for justice and righteousness
·
Confidence
in what is good and fitting
·
The
ability to work together in harmony, even when there is honest disagreement
And finally, Father, I pray that You would give them an assurance of
what would please and honor You and what would benefit the people they serve.
Thank You for hearing our prayers. We pray this in the name of the Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ – Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Gay-Dagnogo, Rabhi, Camilleri, Anthony, Tate, Guerra, Manoogian,
Tyrone Carter, Shannon, Liberati, Hammoud, Wittenberg, Garza, Kennedy, Cynthia
Johnson, Yancey, Hood, Stone, Pohutsky, Ellison, LaGrand, Warren, Lasinski,
Brenda Carter, Jones and Sneller offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 127.
A
resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to develop and
improve trade relations with Cuba and to study and report on economic
opportunities with Cuba.
Whereas,
The Michigan House of Representatives clearly recognizes the need to develop
and foster all beneficial economic opportunities for the state of Michigan; and
Whereas,
Global production and distribution channels are of the utmost importance to
consumers and producers and bolster state and national economies. In 2017,
thousands of Michigan businesses exported $59.8 billion in goods to other
countries. These exports supported 271,337 jobs in Michigan and the rest of the
country in 2016; and
Whereas,
International trade opportunities routinely change in conjunction with economic
globalization, evolutions in technology, and shifting political situations. It
is necessary to explore and cultivate new international economic opportunities
whenever they arise; and
Whereas,
Michigan has many established and burgeoning industries, particularly in the
agricultural sector, which would benefit from improved relations with Cuba.
Cuba’s more than 11 million consumers have been closed off to American
producers for decades. A relationship between Michigan and Cuba would be
mutually beneficial and foster economic growth and job creation for both
parties; and
Whereas,
The United States has taken steps in recent years to rebuild trade relations
with Cuba by addressing long-standing regulations and restrictions imposed on
Cuban trade, travel, carrier services, telecommunications, and financial
industries. The full benefit to Michigan and the rest of the country will only
occur with the continuance of these efforts to ease sanctions and trade
barriers; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United
States to develop and improve trade relations with Cuba; and be it further
Resolved,
That we urge Congress to conduct a study analyzing economic opportunities
relative to Cuba and publicly report on the findings of the study upon its
completion; 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.
Reps. Witwer, Garza, Bolden, Tyrone Carter, Shannon, Pohutsky, Koleszar,
Sabo, Chirkun, Cynthia Johnson, Brenda Carter, Kennedy, LaGrand, Anthony,
Haadsma, Hertel, Cambensy, Kuppa, Hope, Brixie, Gay-Dagnogo, Lasinski, Rabhi,
Sneller and Warren offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 128.
A
resolution to urge the Congress and President of the United States to expand
the manufacturer’s phaseout for the Qualified Plug-In Electric Drive Motor
Vehicle Tax Credit.
Whereas,
The Qualified Plug-In Electric Vehicle (PEV) Tax Credit is a federal tax credit
available to individuals who buy a new, qualified PEV that uses an external
source of energy to recharge the battery, among
other criteria. This credit reduces the cost to buyers of acquiring a new PEV
by up to $7,500 depending on the vehicle’s traction battery
capacity and gross weight; and
Whereas,
For some buyers, the PEV Tax Credit is limited because manufacturers like
General Motors have sold too many qualifying
vehicles. Under the Internal Revenue Code, the tax credit phases out after
200,000 qualifying vehicles are
sold. Over a one-year period, the credit is reduced by 50 percent the first six
months and 75 percent the second six months. This reduces demand for
low emission vehicles, stunts production, and can lead to layoffs; and
Whereas,
Bipartisan legislation must be enacted to extend the PEV Tax Credit.
Legislation like Senator Stabenow’s Driving America Forward Act would add
400,000 vehicles per manufacturer and allow buyers to be eligible for a
slightly smaller, one-time tax credit of $7,000. This would allow manufactures
like General Motors to continue their domestic production operations at their
current levels and make PEV models more accessible to everyday Americans; now,
therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Congress and President of the
United States to expand the manufacturer’s phaseout for the Qualified Plug-In
Electric Drive Motor Vehicle Tax Credit; 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 Tax Policy.

The
following message from the Governor was received June 17, 2019 and read:
EXECUTIVE ORDER
No. 2019-16
Task Force on Women in Sports
Department of State
Multiple studies have documented that women who play sports are more
likely to seek and fill leadership roles in other sectors. Yet even with the
enactment of Title IX nearly fifty years ago, opportunities for girls and women
in sports, while improved, remain severely limited.
These limitations intersect with what is now a pivotal moment for gender
equality and opportunity in Michigan. More
women leaders are serving in state and federal government than ever before, but
there is still much work to be done. Women of color, for instance, continue to
be underrepresented in government and in all other industries, and women hold
just 15 percent of board seats at Michigan’s 100 largest companies.
Women and girls of all backgrounds derive countless benefits from
opportunities to play sports – from lessons in confidence, courage, resilience,
and perseverance, to gains in physical health and psychological well-being.
Female athletes defy gender stereotypes, serve as role models, and widen perspectives.
Nonetheless, and even with the protections of Title IX, women continue
to receive fewer opportunities in sports. They encounter lower levels of
investment, training resources, and safety assurances than their male
counterparts – disparities that are further stratified by income and race. This
is exacerbated by the imbalance of female leadership in college sports;
currently in Michigan, for instance, only one Division 1 athletic program is
led by a woman. When women succeed as professional athletes, they meet a glass
ceiling and a substantial pay gap – barriers that extend to leadership
positions with professional leagues and teams, as well as in sports agencies,
clothing companies, and marketing firms.
This inequity in access and opportunity prevents girls and women in this
state from fully accessing the benefits in leadership development that sports
can provide – to the detriment of not only these girls and women, but also this
state, which stands to gain from their leadership. Michigan and its residents
would benefit from a task force that brings together local and national leaders
in sports and education to evaluate this problem, develop strategies to support
and promote opportunities in this state for girls and women in sports, and
position Michigan as a lasting model in creating and advancing women leaders.
Section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the
executive power of the State of Michigan in the governor.
Section 8 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 places each
principal department of state government under the supervision of the governor
unless otherwise provided.

the governor to take care that the laws are faithfully executed.

of the public as deemed necessary by the Task Force to assist it in performing
