following invocation:
“Our Father God, we are so grateful to
be here serving in this momentous building, in this great state, and in this
highly favored republic that reveres our God given freedoms.
You are Lord of peace. We pray for
leaders and citizens to seek peace and unity in communities across the nation.
Give us a greater vision of what You would have us to be.
Lord, You are refuge and strength. Give
strength to those who are feeling hopeless, depressed, and angry. Provide peace
and restore them to strength of mind and calmness of spirit.
You are the Great Physician, Lord. We
pray for those vulnerable to sickness - and for healing of not only their
bodies, but unwell minds & souls.
You are the Word, and Your Word reminds
us that ‘Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.’
In Jesus name…Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Bolden, Anthony, Yancey, Kuppa, Love, Pohutsky, Stone, Wittenberg,
Koleszar, Hood, Garrett, Brixie, Peterson, Gay-Dagnogo, Pagan, Guerra, Manoogian, Hammoud,
Witwer, Shannon, Garza, Brenda Carter, Tyrone Carter, Liberati,
Cynthia Johnson, Ellison, Lasinski, Sowerby, Jones, Warren, Rabhi,
Camilleri, Clemente, Haadsma and Sneller offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 306.
A resolution to declare September
2020 as Uterine Fibroids Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas¸ Fibroids may cause
significant morbidity through their presence in the uterus and pelvic cavity,
causing significant pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, reproductive
dysfunction, miscarriages, and even infertility; and
Whereas, The pain, discomfort,
stress, and other physical and emotional symptoms of living with fibroids may
significantly interfere with a woman’s quality of life, compromising her
ability to function normal, work, or care for her family, and may lead to more
severe health and wellness issues; and
Whereas, Uterine fibroids are the
most prevalent medical condition affecting women, with an estimated 30 percent
of women developing a uterine fibroid by age 35 and 80 percent of women
developing a uterine fibroid by age 50; and
Whereas, The exact number of
affected women is unknown, as early detection and diagnosis are difficult
because only 1 out of 4 women who have uterine fibroid exhibit symptoms severe
enough to require treatment; and
Whereas, The overall incidence of
uterine fibroids is estimated to disproportionately impact Black and Hispanic
women, who also experience more severe symptoms, resulting in an incidence rate
that is 3 times greater in women with Black ancestry and 2 times greater in
Hispanic women compared to Caucasian women; and
Whereas, A hysterectomy, or
removal of the uterus, is among the most common surgical treatments for uterine
fibroids. More than 200,000 hysterectomies are performed each year to treat
uterine fibroids, at an estimated annual cost of more than $2,000,000,000; and
Whereas, Uterine fibroids have
been estimated to cost the United States $5,900,000 to $34,400,000,000 annually
with an estimated annual lost work cost of $1,600,000,000 to $17,200,000,000
through absenteeism and short-term disability in women ages 25 to 54; and
Whereas, Public awareness and
education campaigns on uterine fibroids prevention, screening, and symptoms are
held during the month of September each year; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September
2020 as Uterine Fibroids Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We recognize
the disparity in incidence rates for Black and Hispanic uterine fibroid
patients and urge greater research, treatment, and care options regarding
uterine leiomyoma.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps.
Wozniak, Garza, Haadsma and Sneller offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 307.
A resolution to declare September
2020 as PACE Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The PACE (Program of
All-inclusive Care for the Elderly) model centers around the belief that it is
better for frail, elderly individuals to be served while continuing to live
independently in the community whenever safely possible; and
Whereas, PACE is a fully
integrated model that provides comprehensive highly coordinated services
allowing older adults who meet state eligibility criteria for nursing home
level of care to continue living in the community; and
Whereas, PACE programs assume
full financial risk for all medical care and related services, including
transportation, hospitalization, and long-term care, in return for capitated
payments from Medicare and Medicaid. This controls costs for the state while
providing improved health outcomes and greater satisfaction for participants;
and
Whereas, Michigan’s first PACE
program opened in 1995. Today, over 3,700 participants are served by 14 PACE
programs in 21 sites across the state. These locations include PACE Southeast
Michigan, Care Resources, Life Circles PACE, CentraCare, PACE of Southwest
Michigan, Huron Valley PACE, Senior CommUnity Care of
Michigan, Great Lakes PACE, Genesys PACE, Thome PACE, Community PACE at Home, PACE Central Michigan,
PACE North, and Sunrise PACE; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September
2020 as PACE Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Hammoud, Manoogian, Hoadley, Bolden,
Kuppa, Haadsma and Sneller offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 308.
A resolution to urge the United
States government to publicly and formally call for a solution to Yemen’s
current crisis, condemn the fighting and war crimes, and recognize the
suffering of the Yemeni people and their need for humanitarian aid.
Whereas, Rooted in political
issues dating years back, factions in the Republic of Yemen have been in
conflict since early 2015. In 2017, Yemen was declared the world’s largest
humanitarian disaster by the United Nations (UN) and has been likened to the
crises in Iraq, Syria, and South Sudan; and
Whereas, The Yemeni conflict has
devastated the lives of many, with more than 24 million people – some 80
percent of the population – in need of humanitarian assistance. In addition,
the number of people in acute need increased by 27 percent in 2019, and
two-thirds of all districts in the country are already pre-famine. Furthermore,
there have been over 10,000 civilian casualties, numerous human rights
violations, and several war crimes. Moreover, masses of people have been forced
to relocate within the country or leave altogether as refugees; and
Whereas, As COVID-19 spreads rapidly,
Yemen now faces an additional crisis. The spread of COVID-19, along with other
existing health issues in the country, are exacerbated by the lack of adequate
sanitation and clean water. According to UNICEF, only half of health facilities
are functioning, and many facilities lack basic equipment and supplies to treat
the coronavirus. In June 2020, Yemen’s total cases of COVID-19 almost tripled,
with 835 new cases being reported; and
Whereas, The crisis has been
compounded by the naval and air blockade on Yemen, imposed by the Saudi‑led
coalition, that has severely restricted the flow of food, fuel, and medicine to
civilians. While the blockade was broken for the first time in three years in
February of 2020 to allow critically ill patients to travel, the conflict is
still escalating; and
Whereas, Humanitarian agencies
are struggling to support Yemeni citizens while implementing social distancing
guidelines. The UN Population Fund (UNFPA) reported
that 75 percent of the UN’s major humanitarian programs will have
to reduce services or close completely in the coming months and only
40 percent of the funding needed to sustain services in 2020 has been
received; and
Whereas, World leaders, like the
United States, have a moral imperative to work toward an end to the Yemeni
conflict and help the country’s people beleaguered by the crisis. The United
States has the influence to broker a ceasefire and peace negotiations. It has
the resources to ensure people in Yemen receive the aid that they so desperately
need; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That we urge the United States government to publicly and
formally call for a solution to Yemen’s current crisis, condemn the fighting
and war crimes, and recognize the suffering of the Yemeni people and their need
for humanitarian aid; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this
resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the United States
Secretary of State, 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.
