Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Paquette, Aiyash and Thanedar offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 119.
A resolution to declare June 2021 as Cryptocurrency Education Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Cryptocurrencies are digital and decentralized currencies that are engineered to be more secure than credit and debit cards and more difficult to counterfeit than cash; and
Whereas, The first and most popular cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, was established in 2009; and
Whereas, The Bitcoin white paper is open-sourced and accessible to all who seek it; and
Whereas, Bitcoin is a convergence of four technologies: peer-to-peer, proof of work algorithm, cryptographic security, and blockchain; and
Whereas, The growing popularity of Bitcoin has led to a proliferation of other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Cardano, Litecoin, and even Dogecoin; and
Whereas, Each cryptocurrency aims to bring value into the world, and, as that value is realized, the price of each cryptocurrency responds accordingly; and
Whereas, The open-sourced community is bringing financial services to those who do not or cannot get access traditional financial systems; and
Whereas, Major banks have
been accused of discriminating against customers for political reasons by
withholding services; and
Whereas, The accessibility and legitimacy of cryptocurrency has been increasing exponentially in recent years, as one can now use Bitcoin ATMs, buy and sell cryptocurrencies on mainstream trading services, and purchase goods and services with cryptocurrencies; and
Whereas, Financial literacy is lacking amongst a large portion of our populace and education in cryptocurrency would give people access to the future of finance; and
Whereas, Regulatory sentiment has been changing in the federal government whereby cryptocurrency is considered property to fit into a taxable regime; and
Whereas, Income made from cryptocurrencies are considered a capital gain and are subject to long-term or short-term capital gains taxes; and
Whereas, Cryptocurrency figures like Charles Hoskinson of Cardano and Ethereum, Michael Saylor of MicroStrategy, Cathie Wood of ARK Invest, Kevin O’Leary and Mark Cuban of Shark Tank, Elon Musk of Tesla and SpaceX, and many others who have emancipated themselves financially by breaking the bonds of the fiat system, have been able to help the organic growth of cryptocurrency over time; and
Whereas, In 2020, PayPal announced that it would allow its users to hold cryptocurrency in their accounts; and
Whereas, Financial institutions and publicly traded companies in the United States are starting to think of Bitcoin as a store of value rather than a currency; and
Whereas, In 2020 and 2021, publicly traded companies such as MicroStrategy, Mass Mutual, Square, Tesla, and more are implementing profit and loss strategies and balance sheet strategies regarding Bitcoin and their financial disclosures; and
Whereas, The city commission of Miami, Florida passed a resolution originated by Mayor Francis Suarez to direct the city manager to explore paying city employees and allowing residents to pay fees in Bitcoin; and
Whereas, NFL player Russell Okung received half of his salary in Bitcoin in 2020; and
Whereas, Cryptocurrencies are drivers of cultural change across the world, our country, and in Michigan; and
Whereas, Cryptocurrencies are gaining popularity and viability for an increasing number of Michiganders; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 2021 as Cryptocurrency Education Month in the state of Michigan.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Financial Services.
Reps. Brenda Carter, Rogers, Bolden, Manoogian, Garza, Hammoud, Weiss, Cavanagh, Morse, Aiyash, Young, Camilleri, Sowerby, Cherry, Brabec, Puri, Haadsma, Steckloff, Shannon, Coleman, Liberati, Steenland, Tyrone Carter, Tate, Wozniak, Whiteford, Howell, Tisdel, Markkanen, Reilly, Griffin, Hoitenga, Rendon, O’Neal, Thanedar, Witwer, Rabhi, Kahle, Breen, Brixie, Hope, Paquette, Sneller and Yaroch offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 120.
A resolution to declare June 2021 as Elder Abuse Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, On June 15, 2006, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day was launched by the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse and the World Health Organization at the United Nations, among other international organizations; and
Whereas, Estimates show that more than 1 in 10 persons over the age of 60 are victims of elder abuse each year; and
Whereas, The vast majority of the abuse, neglect, and exploitation of older adults in the United States goes unidentified, as only 1 in 24 cases of abuse of older adults is reported; and
Whereas, Elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation have no boundaries and cross all racial, social, class, gender, and geographic lines; and
Whereas, Older adults who are abused are at a higher risk to die earlier than older adults of the same age who are not abused; and
Whereas, Public awareness has the potential to increase the identification and reporting of elder abuse by the public, professionals, and victims, and can act as a catalyst to promote issue-based education and long-term prevention; and
Whereas, Private individuals and public agencies must work together on the federal, state, and local levels to combat increasing occurrences of abuse, neglect, and exploitation crime and violence against vulnerable older adults and vulnerable adults, particularly in light of limited resources for vital protective services; and
Whereas, 2021 is the 16th celebration of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 2021, as Elder Abuse Awareness Month in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That we recognize judges, lawyers, adult protective services professionals, law enforcement officers, long-term care ombudsmen, social workers, health care providers, professional guardians, advocates for victims, and other professionals and agencies for their efforts to advance awareness of elder abuse. We encourage members of the public and professionals who work with older adults to act as catalysts to promote awareness and long-term prevention of elder abuse by reaching out to local adult protective services agencies, long-term care ombudsman programs, and the National Center on Elder Abuse, and by learning to recognize, detect, report, and respond to elder abuse.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.

Rep. Garza, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on House Bill 4667 because it is a needless solution to a manufactured issue. This state has not proposed the production, issuance or use of vaccine passports. Furthermore, this bill could have a chilling effect on people who are already hesitant to get the COVID-19 vaccine, which is our best weapon against the virus. We need to focus on getting as many people vaccinated as possible so we can defeat this pandemic once and for all.”

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I enthusiastically support the provision of wellness services to the employees of the State of Michigan, including the individuals serving our communities in the Michigan Department of Corrections, but I cannot fully support this specific solution, as it has not gained endorsement from the department administrators. It is my hope that the state will explore providing wellness services to individuals in need across all state departments, especially those with employees in front-line positions.

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I enthusiastically support the provision of wellness services to the employees of the State of Michigan, including the individuals serving our communities in the Michigan Department of Corrections, but I cannot fully support this specific solution, as it has not gained endorsement from the department administrators. It is my hope that the state will explore providing wellness services to individuals in need across all state departments, especially those with employees in front-line positions. Broadening this approach could achieve the intent of this bill: to give employees input in the services that they receive, provide privacy necessary for individuals seeking services to receive care without impacting their career progress, and ultimately improve the state’s ability as employers to ensure a safe, healthy place to work and serve the people of Michigan.”
