we ask for Your guidance on the important work which we perform in this Chamber,
today and every day. As the Representatives of the people from across this
great state, we ask that You grant us wisdom as we make decisions which impact
so many people’s lives.
We ask
that You would guide us, give us insight, and grant us peace in our decisions
and daily comings and goings. Use us, Father, to serve our brothers and sisters
wisely and justly. We ask for Your prayers over our state, we ask for healing
for the sick, hope for the hopeless, joy for the destitute, peace for the
anxious, and Your abundant comfort for all those who suffer and mourn.
We ask
all of this in Your Holy Name.
Amen.”

A
resolution to declare February 4, 2021, as Optimist Day in the state of
Michigan.
(The

Journal No. 6, p. 84.)
The
question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Reps. O’Neal,
Whitsett, Hope, Breen, Brixie, Scott, Cavanagh, Hertel, Brenda Carter,
Manoogian, Young, Aiyash, Camilleri, Hammoud, Cherry, Sneller, Bolden, Anthony,
Cynthia Johnson, Brabec, Witwer, Neeley, Yancey, Sowerby, Clemente, Rabhi,
Garza, Haadsma, Puri, Rogers and Sabo offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 28.
A
resolution to declare February 2021 as Black History Month in the state of
Michigan.
Whereas, The history of the
United States is rich with inspirational stories of great individuals whose
actions, words, and achievements have united Americans and contributed to the
success and prosperity of the United States; and
Whereas, Among those Americans who
have enriched our society are the members of the Black community, individuals
whose accomplishments have contributed to every endeavor throughout the history
of our nation and this state and who have been steadfast in their commitment to
promoting equality and justice for all; and
Whereas, In August 1619, the
first documented Africans arrived in the English colony of Virginia. The group,
recorded upon arrival as “20 and Odd Negroes,” was part of a larger group of
West Africans enslaved by Portuguese slave traders. They were on their way to
Veracruz aboard a Portuguese ship when they were captured off the coast of
Mexico by an English warship and transported to Virginia, where they were put
ashore at what is now Hampton, Virginia, and sold as involuntary laborers or
indentured servants; and
Whereas, The historic arrival of
the group of “20 and Odd Negroes” marked the beginning of the trend in colonial
America where people of Africa were kidnapped from their homeland and
transplanted to a foreign land, where they were condemned to a lifetime of
slavery and racial injustices; and
Whereas, During the course of the
slave trade, an estimated 50 million African men, women, and children were lost
to their native continent, though only about 15 million arrived safely to a new
home. The others lost their lives on African soil or along the Guinea coast, or
finally in holds on the ships during the dreaded Middle Passage across the
Atlantic Ocean; and
Whereas, In spite of the African
slave trade, and in the face of injustices and inequalities, including lynch
mobs, segregation, and the denial of the basic and fundamental rights of
citizenship, Black Americans continued to move forward in society; and
Whereas, In 2021, the vestiges of
those injustices and inequalities remain evident in the society of the United
States; and
Whereas, From the earliest days
of the United States, the course of its history has been greatly influenced by
Black heroes and pioneers in many diverse areas, including science, medicine,
business, education, government, law, industry, and social leadership; and
Whereas, many Black Americans
lived, toiled, and died in obscurity, never achieving the recognition they
deserved, and yet paved the way for future generations to succeed; and
Whereas, Black Americans have
been great inventors, inventing and improving on innovations such as the
air-conditioning unit, almanac, automatic gearshift, blood plasma bag, clothes
dryer, doorknob, doorstop, electric lamp bulb, elevator, fire escape ladder,
fountain pen, gas mask, golf tee, horseshoe, lantern, lawnmower, lawn
sprinkler, lock, lubricating cup, refrigerating apparatus, spark plug,
stethoscope, telephone transmitter, thermostat control, traffic signal, and
typewriter; and
Whereas, The history of Blacks in
America now includes the election and re-election of the first Black President
of the United States and now the first Black Vice-President of the United
States; and
Whereas, Dr. Carter Godwin
Woodson, the distinguished Black author, editor, publisher, and historian who
is known as the “Father of Black History,” founded Negro History Week in 1926,
which became Black History Month in 1976, celebrated during the month of
February, with the intent to encourage further research and publications
regarding the untold stories of Black heritage; and
Whereas, Dr. Woodson stated, “We
have a wonderful history behind us…if you are unable to demonstrate to the
world that you have this record, the world will say to you, ‘You are not worthy
to enjoy the blessings of democracy or anything else.’”; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 2021
as Black History Month in the state of Michigan. We urge all citizens to join
in celebrating the achievements and contributions of Black Americans that have
helped create the legacy of this great country and encourages the people of
Michigan to create equity and equality for education, economics, and social justice.
The
question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The
resolution was adopted.
Reps.
Martin, Garza, Green, Haadsma, Sabo and Witwer offered the following
resolution:
House Resolution No. 29.
A
resolution to declare February 2021 as Career and Technical Education Month in
the state of Michigan.
Whereas, A competitive economy requires
workers who are prepared for skilled professions; and
Whereas, Career and technical
education (CTE) training matches employability skills with workforce demand and
provides relevant academic and technical coursework leading to
industry-recognized credentials for secondary, post-secondary, and adult
learners; and
Whereas, CTE ensures that
competitive and skilled workers are ready, willing, and capable of holding jobs
in high-wage, high-skill, and in-demand career fields such as science,
technology, engineering, mathematics, nursing, allied health, construction,
information technology, energy sustainability, and many other career fields
that are vital in keeping Michigan competitive in our global economy; and
Whereas, Investing in CTE
training for Michigan schools helps meet the very real and immediate challenges
of economic development, student achievement, and competitiveness; and
Whereas, Providing real-world
training to Michigan students during their secondary education gives them
experience in multiple career field opportunities, and
Whereas, Over 529,000 Michigan
job openings are projected annually through the year 2028, with a current
average income of $48,545 per year for skilled trades jobs that do not require
a bachelor’s degree yet increasingly require some level of postsecondary
education; and
Whereas, Over 97,000 Michigan
high school students participated in CTE during the 2019-2020 school year, and
more than 95% of Michigan students who focused their education in CTE go on to
participate in postsecondary educational opportunities, seek further advanced
career and technical education training, volunteer for military service, or
find employment within a year of graduation; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 2021
as Career and Technical Education Month in the state of Michigan. We urge
continued awareness of career and technical training for the students of
Michigan to ensure the sustainability of Michigan’s workforce for the years to
come; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this
resolution be transmitted to the Governor of Michigan and the State
Superintendent.
The
question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The
resolution was adopted.

Messages from the Governor
The following message from the Governor
was received February 4, 2021 and read:
EXECUTIVE
ORDER
No.
2021-2
COVID-19
Student Recovery Advisory Council
Executive
Office of the Governor
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19)
is a respiratory disease that can result in serious illness or death. It is caused
by a new strain of coronavirus not previously identified in humans and is
easily spread from person to person. COVID-19 has already taken the lives of
more than 14,000 Michiganders and fundamentally disrupted our way of life.
Education is no exception.
Michigan’s educators have worked
tirelessly to teach our children during this pandemic under the most stressful
conditions, and we owe them our most sincere gratitude. Despite these heroic
efforts, we know that many students have struggled with remote learning,
resulting in significant learning loss. Schools also provide other services
that students need to thrive including reliable access to the internet,
nutritious meals, and mental health supports. COVID-19 has exacerbated
inequities in our education system, and we know more work is needed to address
the significant impact COVID-19 has had on our children.On June 12, 2020, I
launched the Return to School Advisory Council which developed a framework to
inform K-12 districts planning for the 2020-2021 school year. On December 11,
2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use
authorization for the first COVID-19 vaccine and on January 11, 2021 the
Michigan Department of Health and Human Services prioritized educators for
vaccine distribution in Michigan. With a return to normal in sight, we must
plan for recovery.
Building on the success of the
Return to School Advisory Council, the formation of an advisory group focused
on student recovery will provide valuable guidance and recommendations and
ensure Michigan has the tools and resources to get students back on track.
Section 1 of article 5 of the
Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the State of
Michigan in the governor.
Section 8 of article 5 of the
Michigan Constitution of 1963 places each principal department of state
government under the supervision of the governor unless otherwise provided.
Section 8 of article 5 of the
Michigan Constitution of 1963 also obligates the governor to take care that the
laws be faithfully executed.
Acting under the Michigan
Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:
1. Creating the Student Recovery Advisory Council

(6) Assemble critical voices from the education

face due to the pandemic.
(7) Provide other information or advice or take
other actions as requested by the governor.
(b) The Council must report regularly to the
governor on its activities and make ongoing recommendations.
(c) The Council will dissolve on December 31, 2021,
or such other time as the governor directs.
3. Operations

performance of its duties and provide personnel to staff the Council. The budgeting,
procurement, and related management functions of the Council will be performed
under the direction and supervision of the Department.
(b) The Council must adopt procedures, consistent
with this order and applicable law, governing its organization and operations.
(c) The Council must meet at least monthly.
(d) The Council must comply with the Freedom of

(e) The Council may select from among its members a
vice chairperson.
(f) The Council may select from among its members a
secretary. Council staff must assist the secretary with recordkeeping
responsibilities.
(g) The Council must meet at the call of its
chairperson and as otherwise provided in the procedures adopted by the Council.
(h) A majority of the members of the Council
serving constitutes a quorum for the transaction of the business of the
Council. The Council must act by a majority vote of its members.
(i) The Council may establish advisory workgroups
composed of individuals or entities participating in Council’s activities or
other members of the public as deemed necessary by the Council to assist it in
performing its duties and responsibilities. The Council may adopt, reject, or
modify any recommendations proposed by an advisory workgroup.
(j) The Council may, as appropriate, make
inquiries, studies, and investigations, hold hearings, and receive comments

education.
(k) The Council may hire or retain contractors,
