Rep. TC Clements, from the 56th District, offered the following invocation:
“Dear Lord - We thank You for this moment to pause and spend time with You. I pray that You would forgive our sins and allow us to come to You with a hopeful and humble heart.
Today we gather in a land filled with division. For many, our ideal of one nation under God has yielded to multiple factions waging war with one another. Our nation has lost its way and our identity is fractured. Today let us come to You through prayer hopeful that cracks can be healed. That prior spoken words can be forgiven and that a renewed focus on our collective purpose can be achieved. Let us strive to embrace and encourage individuality, while protecting and holding true to the principles on which our great nation was established. Let us be moved by the content of character and focused on loving thy neighbor.
As we work, help us to remember that we can simultaneously be passionate and kind, staunch advocates and empathetic, calculated, and caring. Help us to remember that true strength lies in our comfort and self‑worth. That kindness is not weakness and that patience is truly a virtue. Help us to first see each other as You would have seen each of us, and to work together to improve things for our great state.
Help us to each adorn the full armor of God. The belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit. Allow us to put on Your armor… not to wage war with one another, but to defend and protect our communities, our state, and our nation with each other. Help us to focus on the things that matter most: faith, family, and freedom. Help us to be a beacon and an example to others when it comes to our words and actions. Help us to protect the vulnerable, to defend those in need, and to preserve the values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Help us to be the example and embrace our responsibilities as role models. Let us ask if not us, whom?
Guide us as we each seek to do good work. Lead us not into temptation but guide us away from evil. Allow us to listen more and talk less. And ultimately to leave our individual offices and this body better than we found it.
In Your name we pray, Amen.”

Messages from the Senate
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 11.
A concurrent resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for Willis “Bill” Clare Bullard, Jr., former member of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Whereas, It is with great sorrow that the members of the Michigan Legislature learned about the passing of Bill Bullard. He will be remembered as a dedicated public servant and champion for his constituents in southeast Michigan; and
Whereas, Born and raised in Michigan, Bill Bullard received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan and his law degree from the Detroit College of Law before beginning his long career in public service. An attorney-at-law, he worked as a mediator with the Oakland County Circuit Court and District Courts. He was first elected as a trustee of Highland Township in 1978 where he also served on the Zoning Board of Appeals and then was elected supervisor in 1980. He was also very active in his community as a member of the Dunham Lake Civic Committee, Milford Chamber of Commerce, Oakland Chamber of Commerce, Huron Valley Chamber of Commerce, South Lyon Chamber of Commerce, Lake Areas Chamber of Commerce, Novi Chamber of Commerce, West Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce, Farmington Chamber of Commerce, Highland Business Association, University of Michigan Club of Greater Detroit, Huron Valley Arts Council, and West Oakland League of Women Voters; and
Whereas, Bill Bullard was
first elected to the Michigan House of Representatives in 1982 where he served
until he was elected to the Michigan Senate in 1996 during a special election.
In the House, he served as Assistant Minority Caucus Chair, Assistant Minority
Floor Leader, and chair of the Committee on Taxation. He was also majority vice

Additionally, he was a member of the committees on Consumers, Local Government,
and Insurance; and
Whereas, In the Senate, Bill Bullard served as chair of the committees on Government Operations, Financial Services, and Transportation and Tourism. He served as majority vice chair on the committees on Finance and Hunting, Fishing and Forestry. Also, he was a member of the committees on Education, Health Policy, and Senior Citizens and Judiciary; and
Whereas, During this time in office, he also worked with national legislative associations and groups. To each responsibility, Bill Bullard brought an abundant understanding of the process and institutions of government, which allowed him to sponsor over 170 bills that were signed into law. His legislative work did not go unnoticed, as he was awarded legislator of the year by numerous special interest groups, including the Michigan Townships Association, the Michigan Association of Temporary and Staffing Services, the Soft Drink Association of Michigan, and the Michigan Humane Society; and
Whereas, Bill Bullard continued his public service after his legislative career. He served on the Oakland County Board of Commissioners from 2003 to 2011 and was chair for three of his terms.

Following his county public service, he became a partner at Strategic Communications Solutions where he continued to advocate for better government. Most recently in November 2020, he was appointed Deputy Clerk of White Lake Township; and
Whereas, Bill Bullard was a determined legislator, admired by his constituents, friends, family, and colleagues. Upon his passing, we offer our condolences to his family and friends. We hope that they may find comfort in the knowledge that the entire community shares in their bereavement, and that the legacy of Bill Bullard’s contributions will long continue to enrich our state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Bill Bullard, Jr., a member of the House of Representatives from 1984 to 1996 and the Senate from 1996 to 2002; and be it further

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Alexander, Breen, Cherry, Fink, Garza, Haadsma, Hope, Kuppa, Liberati, Morse, Sneller and Weiss offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 63.
A resolution to declare March 23, 2021, as Agriculture Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Each year, states across the nation recognize March as a time to celebrate the importance of food and agriculture as a significant contributor to the national economy; and
Whereas, The Michigan food and agriculture industry contributes more than $104.7 billion annually to the state’s economy. It is a major source of employment for the state’s workforce, supporting approximately 805,000 jobs and roughly 17.2 percent of the state’s workforce; and
Whereas, Michigan’s food and agriculture sector are the second most diverse in the country with nearly 47,000 farms, 99 percent of which are family-owned, farming nearly 10 million acres of farmland, and commercially producing more than 300 food and agricultural commodities. The state is the largest producer of asparagus, cucumbers, squash, and many bedding plants grown in greenhouses, and ranks in the top ten for 29 additional commodities, including apples, blueberries, and cherries; and
Whereas, Michigan greenhouses and nurseries rank 3rd nationally in overall economic impact of plant production. Greenhouses are the 4th largest segment of Michigan’s agriculture economy. Greenhouse and nursery products generate 14% of Michigan’s total agricultural revenues. Michigan greenhouse production boast first in production of many bedding plants including petunias, geraniums, and impatiens; and
Whereas, Twenty-four percent of Michigan’s agricultural revenues are generated by dairy products, most notably, milk, and cheese; and
Whereas, Michigan exports about one-third of its agricultural commodities each year, generating nearly $2 billion. Almost 40 percent of Michigan’s agricultural exports go directly to Canada, our number one export market, and rounding out the top countries eager for Michigan-grown products are Mexico, Japan, South Korea and China; and
Whereas, Michigan’s food and agricultural sector continues to be a growing industry offering new business and career opportunities for Michiganders, making food and agriculture a cornerstone of Michigan’s continued prosperity; and
Resolved by the House of the Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 23, 2021, as Agriculture Day in the state of Michigan. We encourage all citizens to recognize and celebrate this momentous occasion.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Anthony, Pohutsky, Brenda Carter, Young, Cavanagh, Clemente, Kuppa, Brixie, Stone, Bolden, Morse, Brabec, Hope, Tyrone Carter, Weiss, Lasinski, Sowerby, Hood, Haadsma, Hammoud, Aiyash, Sabo, Breen, Cherry, Garza and Sneller offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 64.
A resolution to declare March 24, 2021, as Pay Equity Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, It has been 58 years since the passage of the Equal Pay Act and even with the passage of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act just one year later, women and people of color continue to suffer the consequences of inequitable pay differentials; and
Whereas, Equal Pay Day takes place on the day of the year on which the earnings of women catch up to the average earnings of men. The calculation is based on the 2019 US Census data on median earnings for full-time, year-round workers. Women on average make $0.82 compared to one dollar for men on average in the United States; and
Whereas, Pay discrimination also heavily impacts women in other ethnic and racial groups, with significant disparities seen for Black, Native American, Latina, and Asian American and Pacific Islander women; and
Whereas, Over a working lifetime, wage disparity costs the average American woman and her family, impacting retirement savings programs, Social Security benefits, and pensions. This has contributed to an overarching wealth gap between men and women, with women owning only $0.32 for every dollar owned by men; and
Whereas, Ongoing wage disparities for women are further exacerbated by significant shocks to the economy, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Labor force participation among women in Michigan fell nearly 6 percent during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to less than 1 percent for men, furthering wage and wealth inequality. Economic forecasters estimate the COVID-19 pandemic will likely lead to significant challenges for women in the labor market in the future, including lower wages and fewer job opportunities; and
Whereas, Pay discrimination based on any factor is wrong. Employees should be compensated by their employers based solely on their merits; and
Whereas, Fair pay strengthens the security of families today and eases future retirement costs while enhancing the American economy; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 24, 2021 as Pay Equity Day in the state of Michigan. We urge Michigan’s citizens to recognize the full value of women’s skills and significant contributions to the labor force.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Anthony, Sabo, Hertel, Brenda Carter, Morse, Puri, Breen, Aiyash, Camilleri, Steckloff, Rabhi, Cavanagh, Cherry, Brixie, Peterson, Young, Clemente, LaGrand, Stone, Steenland, Kuppa, Sowerby, Pohutsky, O’Neal, Thanedar, Brabec, Garza, Tyrone Carter, Scott, Hood, Neeley, Hope, Weiss, Haadsma, Koleszar, Ellison, Manoogian, Shannon, Bolden, Witwer, Jones and Sneller offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 65.
A resolution to urge state and federal administrators to increase the number of women and minorities in skilled trade professions and to encourage industry leaders and labor unions to address existing and future shortages in the skilled trades workforce.
Whereas, The state of
Michigan, and this nation as a whole, is experiencing a significant shortage in
skilled trades workers. In Michigan, 80 percent of contracting firms report
having a hard time filling salaried or hourly skilled trades positions. The
shortage of skilled laborers will be exacerbated over the next decade as
skilled tradespersons retire; and
Whereas, Near and long-term infrastructure projects will require a larger skilled trades workforce. The U.S. Department of Labor projected job growth in the skilled trades industry at 4 percent between 2019 and 2029. According to the National Association of Manufacturers, that amounts to 3.5 million new skilled tradespersons, and the Associated General Contractors predicts a shortage of 250,000 skilled tradespersons per year. In Michigan, the number of skilled trades professionals cannot meet demand, with an expected rate of growth of 47,000 new trade jobs per year through 2026; and
Whereas, Women are underrepresented in skilled trades positions despite significant gains. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, women represent less than 5 percent of all skilled trades workers. Despite a three- to four-fold increase since the early 1970s, women only represent 3.1 percent of all electricians, 3.2 percent of all carpenters, and 2.3 percent of all plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters; and
Whereas, Minorities have historically been and continue to be underrepresented in skilled trades professions. While non-white workers constitute nearly a quarter of the total workforce, they represent less than 15 percent of skilled trades workers. They represent less than 12.2 percent of electricians, 12.1 percent of carpenters, and 11.9 percent of plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters; and
Whereas, Many women are employed in minimum wage jobs that do not provide benefits, and good-paying trade positions could benefit these low-income households. While women constitute about half of the workforce, they account for 60 percent of the working poor and 66 percent of minimum wage employees. Women are also the primary or sole earners for 40 percent of households with children under 18 years of age. Workers of color have consistently been several times more likely to be paid poverty level wages; and
Whereas, Privately-led efforts in Michigan have started addressing the shortage of women in skilled trades positions. Project Accelerate, founded by Rita Brown, provides women with a primer in the construction trades, and Women In Skilled Trades, founded by Tori Menold and Carol Cool, is an accelerated pre‑apprenticeship program that targets single mothers. Pioneers like Adrienne Bennett, the CEO of Benkari and Michigan’s first female licensed Master Plumber and this nation’s first female African American Master Plumber, continue to demonstrate that, with encouragement and sustained programs, women and minorities can represent an increasing share of skilled workers; and
Whereas, National and statewide policies are necessary to create greater access to training and career opportunities for women in the skilled trades. Through administrative and policy efforts, the representative imbalance of tradeswomen can be redressed as state and national programs levy more resources, devote more training opportunities to women, and connect women with registered apprenticeship programs; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge state and federal administrators to increase the number of women and minorities in skilled trades professions by improving access to skilled training and employment opportunities; and be it further
Resolved, That we encourage industry leaders and labor unions to address existing and future shortages in the skilled trades workforce by hiring and training women and minorities; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor of the state of Michigan, the Director of the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, and the United States Secretary of Labor.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Workforce, Trades, and Talent.
Reps. Damoose, Bollin, Slagh, Brann, LaFave, Fink, Maddock, Beeler, Alexander, Roth, Paquette, Lightner, Hoitenga, Green, Carra, Borton, Bezotte, Markkanen, Outman, Eisen and Posthumus offered the following concurrent resolution:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 5.
A concurrent resolution to reaffirm states’ rights under the United States Constitution to establish election laws.
Whereas, Traditionally, and as empowered through the U.S. Constitution, states set and administer their own election policies. While there is some congressional power regarding election laws, state legislatures are the proper bodies and best-suited to set laws on election matters; and
Whereas, Federal legislation that seeks to regulate registration, voting, and other election matters, like H.R. 1 of 2021, represents a massive overreach into state election administration. H.R. 1 would force many misguided policies upon states, such as impeding the maintenance of voter registration rolls to be accurate and up-to-date, hampering the enforcement of sensible voter identification standards, and banning the regulation of ballot harvesting. These and other items in the legislation have the effect of federalizing state elections, are conducive to chaos in elections administration, and invite voter fraud. Such legislation is simply an unwanted and unwarranted intrusion into the power of states to administer elections. Every state knows best how to conduct its elections; and
Whereas, Any election
reform efforts should be left to the states and focus on ensuring that the
system is safe, secure, and fair. Citizens deserve to know that the outcome of
elections are free from fraud and irregularities, with policies to this effect
rightly set by each state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we reaffirm states’ rights under the United States Constitution to establish election laws; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to 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 concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Elections and Ethics.

House Resolution No. 56.
A resolution to declare opposition to the excessive fees sought by the plaintiffs’ attorneys in the Flint water crisis settlement.
(For text of resolution, see House Journal No. 25, p. 348.)
With the recommendation that the following substitute (H-1) be adopted and that the resolution then be adopted.
Substitute for House Resolution No. 56.
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 health concerns, particularly among those under 18 years of age; 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 health effects from the 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, Funds in this record-setting settlement first and foremost should go to Flint children and families who have had their lives changed 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.
