Rev. David Cybulski, Pastor of Saint Isaac Jogues Roman Catholic Parish in St. Clair Shores, offered the following invocation:

 

“Almighty and Eternal God, we thank You for all the gifts that You have bestowed upon us, notably the gift of this day, the gift of life and the gift of freedom. We also thank You that You have allowed us to participate in Your rule over all creation and that You have brought together here men and women as representatives of Your people to bring about justice. Inspire then in us virtues of prudence and justice. Give us please Your wisdom today and grant us courage in our deliberations. We pray that in all things we may advance in charity. Help us to set aside our particular interests and always to strive for the common good. Finally, we wish to listen to Your promptings personally in growing daily in becoming a better person and humbly seeking forgiveness for our shortcomings. May we thereby lead those we represent to be good citizens themselves.

Lord God, bless our beloved state and home and please allow the fruits of our labor to bring about Your will. Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Love, Hope, Slagh, Sabo, Sneller, Cherry, Neeley, Chirkun, Clemente, Garza, Sowerby and Warren offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 149.

A resolution to declare September 7, 2019, as Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Appreciation Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The Great Lakes system, including Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, and the St. Lawrence River, is a globally significant resource and ecosystem, holding 21 percent of the world’s surface freshwater; and

Whereas, The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River provide drinking water to more than 48 million Americans and Canadians and supply 56 billion gallons of water per day for municipal, agricultural, and industrial use; and

Whereas, On September 7, 2012, by signing a revised Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, the United States and Canada reaffirmed their commitment to binational cooperation “to restore, protect, and enhance the water quality of the Great Lakes to promote the ecological health of the Great Lakes basin”; and

Whereas, According to the Environmental Protection Agency, more than 30 million people live in the Great Lakes basin, equating to 10 percent of U.S. residents and 30 percent of Canadian residents. More than 3,500 species of plants and animals inhabit the Great Lakes basin, including 170-plus species of fish; and

Whereas, An abundant supply of clean, affordable water is essential to support a healthy population, a thriving economy, and a well-functioning ecosystem; and

Whereas, As the major source of water for communities located within the Great Lakes basin, the Great Lakes system is a vital resource in which all the region’s residents share a common interest; and

Whereas, The Great Lakes system is an economic powerhouse for the region, supporting industries such as shipping, agriculture, technology, manufacturing, recreation, and tourism; and

Whereas, The waters and shoreline of the Great Lakes system provide exceptional habitat for thousands of species of native mammals, birds, amphibians, fish, and plants; and

Whereas, The Great Lakes basin is home to numerous beaches, parks, forests, harbors, marinas, piers, lighthouses, boardwalks, and islands that provide recreational opportunities for swimming, hiking, surfing, boating, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, hunting, photography, wildlife watching, and more; and

Whereas, Michigan borders four of the five Great Lakes and is home to the world’s longest freshwater coastline and the world’s largest freshwater dune system making the Great Lakes one of our most valuable natural resources, providing water for drinking and industry, shipping of commodities, fishing, and water‑borne transportation. An estimated 5 million people visit Michigan’s shorelines every year, with tourism generating more than $2.1 billion annually and supporting more than 200,000 jobs; and

Whereas, People greatly value the opportunity to live, work, and play in areas near waters that are vibrant, beautiful, and life sustaining; and

Whereas, The region’s environment, economy, and residents rely on the clean, healthy waters of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 7, 2019, as Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Appreciation Day in Michigan. We urge appropriate observance of this occasion throughout Michigan and the states that share the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River and encourage all Michiganders to learn about the importance of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River to the economy and the environment of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the governors of Michigan and the states that share the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

 

Rep. Love moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:

Whereas, Michigan borders four of the five Great Lakes and is home to the world’s longest freshwater coastline and the world’s largest freshwater dune system making the Great Lakes one of our most valuable natural resources, providing water for drinking and industry, shipping of commodities, fishing, and water‑borne transportation. Michigan’s beaches helped attract 122.4 million visitors in 2017 who spent $24.7 billion. This generated $2.7 billion in state and local taxes; and

Whereas, People greatly value the opportunity to live, work, and play in areas near waters that are vibrant, beautiful, and life sustaining; and

Whereas, The region’s environment, economy, and residents rely on the clean, healthy waters of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River; now, therefore, be it

Whereas, Direct support professionals support individuals with disabilities in making choices that lead to meaningful and productive lives; and

Whereas, Direct support professionals provide essential support to keep individuals with disabilities connected to their families, friends, and communities; and

Whereas, The participation of direct support professionals in medical care planning is critical to the successful transition from medical events to post-acute care and long-term supports and services; and

Whereas, There is a critical and growing shortage of direct support professionals in communities throughout the United States; and

Whereas, The role of direct support professionals is vital in enhancing the lives of individuals with disabilities of all ages; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 8-14, 2019, as Direct Support Professionals Recognition Week in the state of Michigan.

Rep. Yaroch offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 151.

A resolution to urge the Congress of the United States to clarify its position on the legality of marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970.

Whereas, Despite federal law criminalizing marijuana, many states have exercised their authority to enact marijuana laws that reflect the needs and interests of their citizens. Currently, the state of Michigan is among a majority of states that have chosen to regulate marijuana under state law; and

Whereas, The federal government’s lack of clarity and inconsistency in its interpretation of the legality of marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 has created confusion and uncertainty for states legislating marijuana operations. This, in turn, affects law enforcement, banking, taxation, and zoning; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Congress of the United States to clarify its position on the legality of marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970; 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 Judiciary.
