Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Martin, Mueller, Cherry, Sneller, Neeley and Frederick offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 56.
A resolution to declare opposition to the excessive fees sought by the plaintiffs’ attorneys in the Flint water crisis settlement.
Whereas, The city of Flint changed their municipal water supply source on April 25, 2014, which caused pipes to corrode and release contaminants into the drinking water. A state of emergency was declared on January 16, 2016, and in October 2016, Flint residents were advised not to drink tap water unless it had been filtered to remove lead; and
Whereas, Studies conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and others to assess the contaminated drinking water revealed increased bacteria levels, elevated lead content, and other serious health concerns, as well as ongoing behavioral issues particularly among those under 18 years of age, the timing of which indicated direct connections to the municipal water supply switch. An estimated 14,000 children under the age of 6 were exposed to lead in their drinking water, and early tests suggest that 80 percent of those children will need additional help for language, learning, or other intellectual disorders; and
Whereas, A $641.25 million settlement in the Flint water crisis lawsuit is currently moving forward, with nearly 80 percent of the allotted compensation ultimately awarded going to Flint residents who were under 18 years of age during the crisis as these individuals bear a disproportionate share of lasting health and behavioral effects from the disastrous water supply change; and
Whereas, Attorney fees of $202 million have been requested, which total more than 31 percent of the total settlement amount and would take away more than $160 million from the settlement fund for the children of Flint; and
Whereas, Public health experts believe that the social cost associated with the elevated lead levels could reach $400 million based on lowered IQ levels, lost economic development, increased crime, and additional reliance on welfare programs; and
Whereas, Funds in this record-setting settlement first and foremost should go to Flint children and families who have had their lives changed forever by the decisions made during this crisis, not to trial attorneys; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we declare our opposition to the excessive fees sought by the plaintiffs’ attorneys in the Flint water crisis settlement.
The resolution
was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
House Resolution No. 57.
A resolution to declare March 22, 2021, as Michigan Water Day and World Water Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Since 1993, the United Nations has designated March 22nd as World Water Day. In 2010, the United Nations acknowledged “the importance of equitable access to safe and clean drinking water and sanitation as an integral component of the realization of all human rights”; and
Whereas, The theme of World Water Day 2021 is ‘Valuing Water’ and we recognize water-related issues beyond those of pricing to include the environmental, social, and cultural value people place on water; and
Whereas, Clean water is integral to the global economy and international security and nearly 1.5 billion laborers around the world work in water-related sectors. Reliable water infrastructure is integral to the health, safety, and well-being of people; and
Whereas, Water services should meet the needs of all Michiganders, including those who are the most vulnerable, so that their voices are heard in the decision-making process; and
Whereas, The Anishinaabek, the original people of the Great Lakes region, have a special relationship with the water and believe and teach that water is life necessary to sustain them both spiritually and physically. Based on these fundamental values, Anishinaabek people prioritize ensuring the waters of the Great Lakes are healthy and clean for future generations; and
Whereas, On admission to statehood, Michigan became the owner as sovereign to the waters of the Great Lakes and holds them under the public trust doctrine for the benefit of the people of the state of Michigan and constitute a public trust to protect the public’s right to use the waters of the Great Lakes for purposes such as navigation, hunting, and fishing; and
Whereas, Michigan has the largest freshwater coastline in the United States and has more than 11,000 inland lakes. A Michigander is never more than six miles away from a fresh body of water; and
Whereas, The Great Lakes make up more than 20 percent of the world’s fresh surface water supply and are a source of drinking water, sanitation, health, livelihood, and recreation for about 40 million people – in addition to supporting more than 1.3 million jobs that generate $82 billion in wages annually; and
Whereas, Article IV, Section 52 of the Michigan Constitution holds that it is a “paramount public concern” of government to conserve and develop natural resources while protecting water and other natural resources from pollution, impairment and destruction; and
Whereas, The Michigan Environmental Protection Act calls for “protection of the air, water, and other natural resources and the public trust in these resources from pollution, impairment, or destruction” by government; and
Whereas, Michigan’s jurisprudence and laws have long recognized and upheld the Public Trust Doctrine as a fundamental legal principle, according to which the duty of government as Trustee of the Public Trust is to maintain public ownership and control of surface water for the common good unimpaired from one generation to the next; and
Whereas, The International Joint Commission has recommended that the states and communities implement the public trust in water as an overarching, backstop framework and set of principles to protect the waters, natural resources, and integrity of watersheds and ecosystems within the Great Lakes Basin; and
Whereas, Michigan’s waters and the Great Lakes are important to tourism and other industries, for travelers come from all over the world to swim, boat, and enjoy the grandeur of Michigan’s coastline; and
Whereas, The waters of the Great Lakes and Michigan’s tributary rivers, streams, and groundwater are a globally unique fresh water system and a magnificent and unparalleled natural resource endowment; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 22, 2021, as Michigan Water Day and World Water Day in the state of Michigan. It is with great honor and appreciation that we take this time to join other states and nations in expressing our commitment to ensuring that clean affordable drinking water is available to all Michiganders and commit ourselves to promotion of public awareness to prevent our precious water from pollution and depletion. On this day, we will celebrate and honor the pure water in our state, our country, and our world; and be it further
Resolved, That while we recognize the interconnectedness of humanity and appreciate global challenges, we also recognize our duty as Michiganders in protecting our natural resources and instilling a sense of pride in ourselves and our children for our Great Lakes; and be it further
Resolved, We cherish and acknowledge the special responsibility of protecting Michigan’s waters for current and future generations.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The
resolution was adopted.
House Resolution No. 58.
A resolution to declare March 18, 2021, as Ban Child Marriage Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has classified child marriage as a human rights violation and defined it as any marriage where at least one of the parties is under 18 years of age; and
Whereas, The United Nations Children’s Fund is working to end child marriage worldwide by 2030; and
Whereas, Michigan law currently allows 16- and 17-year-old children to marry with permission from a parent or guardian and children younger than 16 can marry with both parental and judicial approval; and
Whereas, Between 2000 and 2018, at least 5,259 children were married in Michigan alone, some as young as 14. Of those, 83% of the marriages were between girls and adult men; and
Whereas, Young women and girls are often coerced into marrying their rapists or abusers as a way for the family to avoid criminal liability for neglect or assault and the stigma attached to rape, sexual abuse, or non‑traditional pregnancy; and
Whereas, Michigan’s lax child marriage laws are rife for abuse, offering cover for human traffickers and opening our state up to the risk of so-called marriage tourism, where non-residents come to Michigan for the purpose of marrying minors; and
Whereas, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota have all recently passed legislation to end all marriage before 18 without exceptions; and
Whereas, Michigan does not have a residency requirement for marriage, so our state could become a destination for child marriages if the practice is not banned soon, and
Whereas, Research has shown that marriage has devastating health effects, social consequences, and economic results for a minor. Not only do most child marriages end in divorce, but married minors are more likely to live in poverty and be victims of domestic violence. Nearly half of all married minors end up dropping out of high school and married minors are four times less likely to finish college. There is also a higher risk of mental health problems and physical illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, and stroke; and
Whereas, House Bills 4226, 4227, and 4229 have been introduced into the Michigan House of Representatives to ban child marriage in Michigan; and
Whereas, March 18, 2021, takes place during the sixty-fifth UN Commission on the Status of Women, which is the principal global intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women; and
Whereas, It is internationally recognized that the practice of child marriage is a human rights issue that harms the health of children and creates problems that persist for a lifetime; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 18, 2021, as Ban Child Marriage Day in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That the members of this legislative body encourage all Michiganders to participate in the ongoing efforts to promote the protection of the rights, health, and overall well-being of all children and adolescents.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Families, Children, and Seniors.
Reps. Cherry, Sneller, Steenland, Puri, Hammoud, Breen, Garza, Haadsma, Hope, Morse, Sowerby and Weiss offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 59.
Whereas, On February 24, President Joe Biden signed an executive order to strengthen U.S. supply chains. The order is targeted at strengthening supply chains for advanced batteries, pharmaceuticals, critical minerals, and semiconductors. The President also ordered a review of supply chains for defense, public health and biological preparedness, information communications technology, energy, transportation, and food production; and
Whereas, The United States has become increasingly reliant on imported goods, sometimes leading to disastrous consequences. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, a failure of medical supply chains led to shortages of personal protective equipment and other supplies throughout the country; and
Whereas, The failure of
U.S. supply chains has had a direct negative impact on Michigan residents.
Issues with the semiconductor supply chain has caused issues for the automobile
industry, including layoffs of 160 employees at the General Motors’ Engine
Operations Plant in Flint; and
Whereas, Strengthening U.S. supply chains will strengthen the American economy and protect national security. Bringing manufacturers to the United States will create high-paying jobs and ensure the ability to produce goods that are vital to our national defense; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we support President Joe Biden’s efforts to strengthen U.S. supply chains and urge continued action to address the semiconductor shortage; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Commerce and Tourism.

House Resolution No. 60.
A resolution to grant the House Standing Committee on Oversight the power to administer oaths, issue subpoenas, and examine books, records, and files related to employee separations and severance agreements entered into by the executive branch of state government.
Whereas, Full access to accurate information is essential for sound decision making by any public or private body; and
Whereas, Standing committees of the House of Representatives, including the House Standing Committee on Oversight, may be granted the power to administer oaths, issue subpoenas, and examine books, records, and files, pursuant to the Standing Rules of the House of Representatives and Michigan law; and

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Oversight.
Reps. Puri, Aiyash, Morse, Manoogian, Rogers, Steckloff, Steenland, Bolden, Pohutsky, Weiss, Rabhi, Camilleri, Cavanagh, Young, Tate, Anthony, Sneller, Cherry, Whitsett, Hammoud, LaGrand, Hertel, O’Neal, Thanedar, Hope, Breen, Scott, Brenda Carter, Cambensy, Brixie, Coleman, Liberati, Garza, Shannon, Tyrone Carter, Sowerby, Clemente, Brabec, Stone, Sabo, Kuppa, Neeley, Koleszar, Bellino, Roth, O’Malley, Berman, Jones, Brann, Damoose, Yancey, Lasinski, Ellison, Peterson, Haadsma and Witwer offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 61.
A resolution to condemn hate crimes, hateful rhetoric, and hateful acts against Asian Americans and to encourage Michiganders to report hate crimes to the proper authorities.
Whereas, Racism and prejudice toward Asian Americans have always existed. Prominent examples include the “Yellow Peril,” the Chinese Exclusion Act, and the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II; and
Whereas, Culturally insensitive rhetoric regarding COVID-19 has contributed to a spike in discrimination and hate crimes toward Asian Americans. More than 30 percent of Asian Americans have reported being subjected to discrimination since the beginning of the Pandemic. According to Stop AAPI Hate, 3,795 incidents have been reported between March 19, 2020 and February 28, 2021 from all 50 states, including 16 in Michigan. Incidents have included physical assault, verbal harassment, shunning, workplace discrimination, refusal of service, and online harassment; and
Whereas, Acts of hate and discrimination are antithetical to our values as Michiganders and Americans. As civic leaders, it is our duty to promote respect, inclusion, and a welcoming community for people of all races, national origins, and ethnicities; and
Whereas, All Michiganders can play a role in establishing a safe and welcoming community by intervening and reporting instances of hate and discrimination. Reporting these incidents is critical to holding perpetrators accountable and fully addressing the issue; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we condemn hate crimes, hateful rhetoric, and hateful acts against Asian Americans; and be it further
Resolved, That we encourage Asian Americans and all Michiganders who experience hate crimes to report such incidents to local law enforcement or the Michigan Attorney General’s Hate Crimes Unit; and be it further
Resolved, That we encourage Asian Americans and all Michiganders who experience discrimination to report such experiences to the Michigan Department of Civil Rights; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor, the Michigan Attorney General, and the Director of the Michigan Department of Civil Rights.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

______
Rep. LaGrand, under Rule 31, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I did not vote on Roll Call No. 55 because of a possible conflict of interest.”
______
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no because of the detrimental effect that alcohol has on our society. Currently, the State of Michigan spends over 200 million dollars annually battling substance abuse. Likewise, we, as a state, are combatting Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. I do not see how expanding the hours a person can legally drink helps what the State is currently doing to combat the negative effects of alcohol.”
