“Dear heavenly Father
I would like to thank You for
allowing me to be part of this great institution .. working with…. and learning
from all my colleagues.
Even though we may disagree on
issues and policy… I know we would stand Shoulder to shoulder and fight
anything that would threaten the American way of life and all the freedoms we
enjoy.
I truly believe ,,,,,that
united,,, we are strong and divided we are weak.
Please guide us in our decision

In Jesus name we pray Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Wakeman, Crawford, Garza and Kennedy offered the following
resolution:
House Resolution No. 234.
A resolution to memorialize the
Congress of the United States to repeal the federal ban on Pell grants for
prison-based education.
Whereas, The federal Pell Grant
Program provides need-based grants to low-income undergraduate and certain
postbaccalaureate students to promote access to postsecondary education. Pell
grants have been helping millions of low-income students across the country
access postsecondary education for 45 years; and
Whereas, The federal Violent
Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act denied all incarcerated individuals’
eligibility for federal financial aid in 1994, making prisoners ineligible to
receive Pell grants and therefore less likely to obtain a postsecondary degree
while incarcerated. Until 1992, Pell grants were available to incarcerated
individuals. As a result, education programs expanded throughout the prison
system, and by 1990, there were 772 prison college programs in more than 1,000
correctional facilities; and
Whereas, Postsecondary courses
and training for incarcerated people will make them more likely to secure jobs
and succeed economically upon release. While currently only 24 percent of
people in federal prison have had access to some postsecondary education, 65
percent of all new jobs nationwide now require a postsecondary degree; and
Whereas, Postsecondary education
and training programs lead to lower recidivism rates, less crime, and improved
public safety. Incarcerated people who participate in postsecondary education
and training programs are 43 percent less likely to recidivate than those who
do not participate; and
Whereas, Prison education reduces
violence within the prison system. Prisons with college programs have fewer
violent incidents, which allows corrections officials to do their jobs in a
safer environment; and
Whereas, Prison-based education
is cost-effective. Every dollar invested in prison-based education yields $4.00
to $5.00 in taxpayer savings in reduced long-term incarceration costs; and
Whereas, Removing the federal ban
on Pell grants for prison education would expand access to postsecondary
education for people in Michigan’s prisons; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to repeal
the federal ban on Pell grants for prison-based education; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this
resolution be transmitted to 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 Education.
House Resolution No. 235.
A resolution to declare February
27, 2020, as Public Schools Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Public education is the
foundation of a 21st-century democracy; and
Whereas, The nation’s public
schools are where students come to be educated as citizens of the United States;
and
Whereas, Each public school
prepares the nation’s young people to contribute to the society, economy, and
citizenry of the country; and
Whereas, Ninety percent of
American children attend public schools; and
Whereas, Local, state, and
federal lawmakers should prioritize support for strengthening the nation’s
public schools and empower local education leaders to implement, manage, and
lead school districts in partnership with educators, parents, and other local
education stakeholders and learning communities; and
Whereas, Local, state, and
federal lawmakers should support such necessities as counseling,
extracurricular activities, and mental health supports that are critical to
help students engage in learning; and
Whereas, Inclusive and safe
high-quality public schools are where children learn to think critically,
problem solve, and build relationships; and
Whereas, Public schools should
provide an environment where all students can succeed beginning in their
earliest years, regardless of who they are or where they live; and
Whereas, Efforts should be
supported to advance equity and excellence in public education and to implement
continuous improvement and evidence-based practices; and
Whereas, Every child has the
right to an education that helps them reach their full potential and to attend
schools that offer a high-quality educational experience; and
Whereas, Stable, equitable,
predictable, and adequate funding for great public schools for every student in
America is necessary to ensure that students have inviting classrooms and
school libraries with up-to-date resources as well as well-prepared and
supported educators; and
Whereas, Educators include
teachers, paraprofessionals, and principals who provide a well-rounded and
complete curriculum and create joy in learning; and
Whereas, The nation’s school
buildings should have class sizes small enough to allow students to receive
one-on-one attention and to access support services such as health care,
nutrition, and after-school programs when needed; and
Whereas, Students, teachers, and
professionals make the nation’s public schools vital components of the
community; and
Whereas, February 24-28, 2020, is
National Public Schools Week. Parents and communities are working hard to
improve educational outcomes for children across the country; now, therefore,
be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 27,
2020, as Public Schools Day in the state of Michigan. We call upon Michiganders
to observe this week by supporting public schools.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Rep. Camilleri moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:
Substitute for House Resolution
No. 235.
A resolution to declare February
27, 2020, as Public Schools Day in the state of Michigan.

The
question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Hope, Bolden, Hood, Manoogian, Greig, Koleszar, Anthony, Garza,
Guerra, Witwer, Kennedy, Haadsma, Camilleri, LaGrand, Stone, Hertel, Gay-Dagnogo,
Brenda Carter, Cambensy, Byrd, Wittenberg, Brixie, Robinson, Coleman, Sabo,
Elder, Kuppa, Cherry, Chirkun, Sneller, Lasinski, Pohutsky, Warren, Sowerby,
Jones, Hoadley, Tyrone Carter, Shannon, Hammoud, Tate, Clemente and Love
offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 236.
A resolution to declare March
2020 as Women’s History Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Michigan women of every
race, class, and ethnic background have made historic contributions to the
growth and strength of Michigan in countless recorded and unrecorded ways; and
Whereas, Michigan women have
played and continue to play a critical economic, cultural, and social role in
every sphere of the life of Michigan by constituting a significant portion of
the labor force working inside and outside of the home; and
Whereas, Accomplished women in
Michigan such as Cora Reynolds Anderson, Lorraine Beebe, Cora Mae Brown, Anna Clemenc, Mary Stallings Coleman, Daisy Elliott, Betty Ford,
Martha Griffiths, Marie-Therese Guyon-Cadillac, Erma Henderson, Mildred
Jeffrey, Rosa Parks, Elly Peterson, Dorothy Comstock Riley, Anna Howard Shaw,
Lucinda Stone, and Sojourner Truth deserve more recognition; and
Whereas, Michigan women have
played a unique role throughout the history of Michigan by providing the
majority of the volunteer labor force of Michigan; and
Whereas, Michigan women were
particularly important in the establishment of early charitable, philanthropic,
and cultural institutions in Michigan; and
Whereas, Michigan women of every
race, class, and ethnic background served as early leaders in the forefront of
every major progressive social change movement. Michigan women have been
leaders not only in securing their own rights of suffrage and equal
opportunity, but also in the abolitionist movement, the emancipation movement,
the industrial labor movement, the civil rights movement, the peace movement,
and other movements which created a more fair and just society for all; and
Whereas, The
population of Michigan is fifty-one percent women. Women compose thirty-six
percent of the Michigan Legislature. The percentage of women legislators in the
House of Representatives is thirty‑eight percent and the percentage of
women legislators in the Senate is approximately thirty percent; and
Whereas, Despite these
contributions, the role of Michigan women in history has been consistently
overlooked and undervalued in the literature, teaching, and study of Michigan
history; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2020
as Women’s History Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps.
Webber, Crawford and Liberati offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 237.
A resolution to declare March
2020 as Independent Workers Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, In recent years,
independent workers (the gig workers, freelancers, temporary workers, and
self-employed) have played an ever-larger role in the prosperity of the state
of Michigan and the country overall; and
Whereas, The increase in work
arrangements outside of the traditional employment model has allowed people
with busy or unpredictable schedules to choose the hours when they want to
work. This flexibility allows some to participate in the workforce who would
not be able to accept traditional employment. In addition, independent work can
help households quickly overcome a financial emergency without going into debt
or taking on a long-term commitment; and
Whereas, Acting as their own
bosses, independent workers enhance their entrepreneurial abilities and
practice the self-reliance and independence that are core American values.
Independent work enables individuals to experience more variety in their
careers and explore new interests while expanding their marketable skill sets;
and
Whereas, The independent style of
work can also allow more time for civic engagement. In a recent study,
independent workers are 19 points more politically active compared workers in
conventional full-time positions. Nearly 80% reported voting in the recent
mid-term elections; and
Whereas, In 2018, independent
workers generated over $1.4 trillion to the U.S. economy. As leading innovators
and adapters to the changing labor landscape, independent workers have
facilitated necessary change and growth specifically within the state of
Michigan by both diversifying the economy and providing existing industries
with access to their expertise due to their agile work style. This profession
may indeed take pride in its contributions to this strong Michigan economy;
now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2020
as Independent Workers Month in the state of Michigan. We honor independent
workers, extend sincere best wishes to them for continued success, and pledge
to pursue solutions to promote and protect their unique and valuable style of
work.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Rep. Webber moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:

members serving voting therefor.
The
question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
House Resolution No. 238.
A resolution to declare March
2020 as Social Work Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The social work
profession for generations has worked to strengthen the well-being and meet the
basic needs of all people, especially people who are vulnerable, oppressed, and
living in poverty; and
Whereas, This year’s Social Work
Month theme, “Social Workers: Generations Strong” embodies the heroic work of
social workers who for more than a century have worked to make our society a
better place to live; and
Whereas, The social work
profession is a diverse profession that allows people of various generations,
ethnicities, sexual identities, and religious backgrounds to make an immediate
positive impact on our nation and world; and
Whereas, The social work
profession is one of the fastest growing professions in the United States, with
more than 777,000 people expected to be employed as social workers by 2028; and
Whereas, Social workers are the
largest group of mental health care providers in the United States and work
daily to help people overcome substance use disorders and mental illnesses such
as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder; and
Whereas, Social workers work in
all parts of our society to meet people where they are and empower them to live
to their fullest potential; and
Whereas, The social work
profession, more than many other professions, has expansive boundaries that
allow social workers to work in a variety of settings, including schools,
centers for veterans, the military, hospitals and mental health centers,
corporations, and local, state, and federal government; and
Whereas, Social workers for
generations have worked with other professions, community groups, lawmakers,
civil rights and other organizations to bring equal rights for all, including
women, minorities, LGBTQ, and various cultural, ethnic, and religious groups;
and
Whereas, The social work profession
has been in the forefront of pushing for changes that have made our society a
better place to live, including a minimum wage, improved workplace safety, and
social safety net programs that help ameliorate poverty and hunger; and
Whereas, Social workers stand
ready and have the expertise to help our nation handle some of its most
pressing issues, including equal rights for all, improved health care and
mental health care for all; immigration reform; income inequality; and the
environmental impact of climate change; and
Whereas, Social workers have been
and continue to stand ready to help our nation in times of crisis, including
war and natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes; now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2020
as Social Work Month in the state of Michigan. We recognize the numerous
contributions made by social workers across this state and country and join in
this celebration and support of the social work profession.

UP
Energy Task Force
Department
of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy
On June 7, 2019, Executive Order 2019-14
established the UP Energy Task Force (“Task Force”).
Section 2(b) of Executive Order 2019-14
charged the Task Force with preparing a final report and submitting it to the
governor in two stages, with the first submission – a propane plan focused on
alternative means to supply propane to the Upper Peninsula (“UP”) – due March
31, 2020.
In carrying out this charge, the Task Force
has continually sought and benefited from input provided by residents of this
state. The work of the Task Force would benefit from an extension of the
deadline for submitting its propane plan, to permit more time for public
comment.
Section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan
Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the State of Michigan in the
governor.
Acting under the Michigan Constitution of 1963
and Michigan law, I order that Section 2(b) of Executive Order 2019-14 be
amended to read as follows:
The Task Force shall prepare a final report
and submit it to the governor. The Task Force shall complete its final report
in two stages. First, the Task Force shall submit a propane plan to the
governor by April 17, 2020. This plan shall focus on alternative means to
supply propane to the UP, consistent with section 2(a) of this order. Second,
the Task Force shall submit the remainder of its report, also consistent with
section 2(a), by March 31, 2021.
This order is effective upon filing.

SUBJECT:
Unemployment Insurance Agency Work Share Program Annual Report Public Act 1 of
1936, Section 421.281
The
Work Share Program was created by the enactment of Public Act 1 of 1936,
Section 421.28b to 421.28m of the Michigan Employment Security (MES) Act. The purpose of Work Share is to allow an employer
to maintain operational productivity by reducing the work hours of employees
during an economic decline in regular business activity instead of laying-off
employees. With the plan, eligible employees work a reduced number of hours in
the work week and receive a portion of weekly unemployment benefits.
Per
Section 421.281 of the MES Act, the Unemployment
Insurance Agency (UIA) shall submit to the Governor,
the Secretary of the Senate, and the Clerk of the House of Representatives for
referral to the Chair and Minority Vice-Chair of the appropriate committees an
annual report regarding shared-work plans under Section 28B to 28m. The report
shall include the number of approved shared-work plans, the number of
participating employers, the number of participating employees, the amount of
compensation and aid to participating employees, and any other information the UIA determines is relevant to assess the impact of
shared-work plans on the unemployment compensation fund. The first report shall
be submitted on or before the first day of March following the first complete
calendar year during which sections 28b to 28m are in effect, and subsequent
reports shall be submitted on or before the first day of March of each
subsequent year.
If you
have any questions, please contact Stephanie Glidden, UIA
Legislative Liaison at 517-241-0029.
February 27, 2020
In
accordance with Section 8 of the Michigan
Employment Security Act, being Section 421.8 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, the Department of Labor and Economic
Opportunity, Unemployment Insurance Agency is required to report annually to
the Governor and the Legislature any amount, in excess of $1.00, that the
maximum weekly unemployment benefit rate would increase if the annual increase
in the United
States Department of Labor’s Consumer Price
Index (CPI) were applied to the maximum weekly benefit rate for Michigan.
I am,
therefore, transmitting to the Governor, and to the House and Senate for
publication along with this letter in the Journals
of their respective bodies, the enclosed report showing that since the last
increase in the maximum weekly benefit rate to $362.00 in 2002, the increase in
the CPI would result in an increase in the maximum weekly unemployment benefit
rate to $501.15.

submitted,
