God of justice and God of mercy, God of wisdom and God of boundless love, we invoke Your direction and guidance this day by all the many names we call You.
Imbue these, our elected officials, with imagination and with courage, to speak with purpose and with clarity, to listen with humility and true sincerity, to honor the experiences and perspectives that differ from their own. As they work through this budget—to search for paths that serve and inspire all people, to think broader, to dream bigger—unite all those gathered here in bonds of respect and work through their struggles to attain true well-being and real justice for all the people of this state. Amen.

Office
of the Great Lakes
January 29, 2019
Attached is a list of five research projects approved for funding under
the Michigan Great Lakes Protection Fund (MGLPF) in compliance with Act 156 of
the Public Acts of 1989. Section 324 (32910) of PA 156 requires that this list
be submitted annually to the legislature.
The Office of the Great Lakes (OGL) did not release
a general request for new proposals in fiscal year 2017 or 2018 due to funding
constraints. Instead, the OGL targeted funding to support projects that meet
OGL strategic goals and that are consistent with Part 331 of the Natural
Resources and Environmental Protection Act of 1994. Prior to the issuance of
Executive Order No. 2007-34, projects were recommended by the MGLPF Technical
Advisory Board to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Director for
approval.
In December 2017, the OGL was moved from the DEQ to the Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) by Executive Order 2017-09. All appropriations,
allocations, and other funds necessary to support the activities of the office
were also transferred to the DNR at this time, including the MGLPF. The OGL
director now issues final approval for grant awards.
If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Emily Finnell at
517-599-1330, or you may contact me.

EXECUTIVE ORDER

Department
of Agriculture and Rural Development
Department

Executive
Reorganization
Section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the
executive power of the State of Michigan in the governor.
Section 2 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 empowers the
governor to make changes in the organization of the executive branch of state
government or in the assignment of functions among its units that are necessary
for efficient administration.
To avoid licensing delays and to better coordinate varying sources of
authority for the enforcement of state law, the administration of state laws
relating to marijuana can more effectively and efficiently be administered by a
dedicated state agency.
Changing the organization of the executive branch of state government is
necessary in the interests of efficient administration and effectiveness of
government.
Acting pursuant to the
Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:
1. Creating the Marijuana
Regulatory Agency
(a) The
Marijuana Regulatory Agency (the “Agency”) is created as a Type I agency within
the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (the “Department”).
(b) All
of the authorities, powers, duties, functions, and responsibilities of the
Medical Marihuana Licensing Board under the Medical Marihuana Facilities
Licensing Act, 2016 PA 281, as amended, MCL 333.27101 to 333.27801, are
transferred by Type I transfer to the Agency. The Medical Marihuana Licensing
Board is abolished.
(c) All
of the authorities, powers, duties, functions, and responsibilities of the
Marihuana Advisory Panel under the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act,
2016 PA 281, as amended, MCL 333.27101 to 333.27801, are transferred to the
Agency. The Marihuana Advisory Panel is abolished.
(d) Except

powers, duties, functions, and responsibilities of the Department to promulgate
rules to regulate the cultivation, processing, distribution, and sale of
industrial hemp, under section 8 of the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of
Marihuana Act, 2018 IL 1, MCL 333.27958, are transferred by Type II
transfer to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, except that
the Agency may promulgate rules to establish standards, procedures, and
requirements for the processing, testing, transportation, and sale of

Resolutions
Senate Resolution No. 20.
A resolution to recognize myalgic encephalomyelitis as a serious, debilitating disease and urge key entities to improve patient care, prioritize new research, educate health professionals, and raise awareness about the severity of the disease.
Whereas, Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), also known as chronic fatigue
syndrome (CFS) or ME/CFS, has been found by the National Academy of Medicine
(NAM) to be “a serious, chronic, complex, and systemic disease that frequently
and dramatically limits the activities of affected patients,” leaving them with
a lower quality of life than others without ME/CFS; and
Whereas, More than 41,500 Michigan residents of
all ages, races, and genders are believed to be afflicted with ME/CFS. An
estimated 836,000 to 2.5 million Americans and 17 million individuals worldwide
are afflicted; and
Whereas, ME/CFS persists for years or even decades because of a lack of
treatments, leaving one quarter of patients homebound or bedbound. Many
students with the disease are unable to attend school, and 50 to 75 percent of
ME/CFS patients are unable to work, resulting in an annual economic burden in
America of $17 billion to $24 billion in medical expenses and lost
productivity, $9.1 billion of which has been attributed to lost household and
labor force productivity; and
Whereas, The NAM noted a lack of knowledge about the disease due to a “paucity
of research” and “remarkably little research funding,” and concluded that “more
research is essential”; and
Whereas, The NAM noted that the medical community “generally
still doubts the existence or seriousness of this disease,” and patients have
difficulty being diagnosed or accessing quality medical care; now, therefore,
be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we:
• Recognize that myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome
(ME/CFS) is a tragic, disabling disease that destroys the lives of many
patients and takes a severe toll on their families, friends, and caretakers;
• Recognize
and affirm the commitment of the state of Michigan to improving the
availability and quality of medical and supportive care for ME/CFS patients;
• Recommend
that the National Institutes of Health fund ME/CFS research at a level
commensurate with similarly burdensome diseases;
• Encourage
universities in Michigan to focus research attention on this underserved
disease;
• Recommend
that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention disseminate new ME/CFS
medical education that is updated in accordance with recommendations from the
National Academy of Medicine, the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Advisory Committee
of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, and disease
experts; and
• Encourage media organizations to inform the public about the
seriousness of the disease; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the members
of the Michigan congressional delegation, the Director of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, the Director of the National Institutes of
Health, and the Michigan Association of State Universities.
Senator MacGregor moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The motion prevailed.
