Rep. Cynthia A. Johnson, from the 5th District, offered the following invocation:
“Teach me to listen, O God,
to those nearest to me,
my family, my friends, my co-workers.
Help me to be aware that
no matter what words I hear,
the message is
‘Accept the person I am. Listen to me.’
Teach me to listen, my caring God,
to those far from me—
the whisper of the hopeless.
the plea of the forgotten,
the cry of the anguished.
Teach me to listen, O God my Mother,
to myself.
Help me to be less afraid
to trust the voice inside—
in the deepest part of me
Teach me to listen, Holy Spirit,
for Your voice—
in busyness and in boredom,
in certainty and in doubt,
in noise and in silence.
Teach me, Lord, to listen. Amen.

House Resolution No. 95.
A resolution to declare May 6-12, 2021, as Nurses Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, May 6-12, 2021, is recognized as National Nurses Week, beginning with National Nurses Day on May 6 and ending with the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, on May 12; and
Whereas, Nurses are the largest sector of the healthcare workforce and provide the most direct and continuous skilled care to people of every age; and
Whereas, Nurses are educated professionals who perform the challenging and complex job of caring for the sick and injured every day in a myriad of settings, often under very difficult conditions; and
Whereas, Nurses are globally recognized for their commitment to advocating for their patients and refusing to compromise their high standards for safe, high-quality patient care; and
Whereas, Nurses make valuable contributions to advancing health and safety by promoting prevention and healthy behaviors among Michigan residents; and
Whereas, Nurses advocate
for their patients at the bedside and beyond, working to create a world in
which all people have access to care and can live safe, healthy, and prosperous
lives; and
Whereas, Nurses in Michigan fight for the health, safety, and human rights not only of the sick and injured, but also of the elderly, the young, those with disabilities, the economically disadvantaged, and the most vulnerable among us; and
Whereas, During this unprecedented time nurses are working day and night caring for those who have contracted the novel coronavirus, at the risk of their own lives and the lives of their family; and
Whereas, Under the leadership of the Michigan Nurses Association, the largest group representing Michigan registered nurses, nurses across Michigan are working to enhance the nursing profession; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 6-12, 2021, as Nurses Week in the state of Michigan. We convey our utmost respect and gratitude for the work of nurses every day throughout our state and urge all residents to do so year-round; and be it further
Resolved, That supporting nurses’ ability to provide safe, quality care and developing and maintaining a thriving nurse workforce is of concern to all Michigan residents. We honor the work and dedication of nurses around the world and here in Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Koleszar, Hood, Ellison, Bolden, Pohutsky, Young, Breen, Steenland, Aiyash, Allor, Bezotte, Cherry, Garza, Haadsma, Hope, Morse, Rogers, Sneller, Sowerby, Stone, Thanedar, Whitsett and Witwer offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 96.
A resolution to declare May 2021 as Celiac Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that results in damage to the lining of the small intestine when a person eats foods with gluten; and
Whereas, Gluten is a form of protein found in some grains, including wheat, rye, and barley, which individuals living with celiac disease need to avoid; and
Whereas, The damage to the intestine makes it hard for the body to absorb nutrients, especially fat, calcium, iron, and folate; and
Whereas, Celiac disease is estimated to affect one in 133 people in the United States; and
Whereas, Eighty-three percent of the people with celiac disease remain undiagnosed and at risk for long-term health complications; and
Whereas, Common symptoms of celiac disease include severe abdominal pain, severe skin rash called dermatitis herpetiformis, iron deficiency anemia, musculoskeletal problems, muscle cramps, seizures, tingling sensation in the legs, and depression; and
Whereas, Celiac disease can leave a person susceptible to additional health problems, including osteoporosis, miscarriage, infertility, growth problems in children affected by the disease because they do not absorb enough nutrients, and cancers of the digestive system; and
Whereas, People who have celiac disease may have other autoimmune diseases, including thyroid disease, type I diabetes, Crohn’s disease and colitis, and juvenile arthritis; and
Whereas, Some people with celiac disease have so much damage to their intestines that a gluten-free diet will not improve their condition, and these patients may need to receive nutritional supplements intravenously; and
Whereas, Maintaining a gluten-free diet can be a difficult change, as gluten is found in some products in which gluten is not naturally occurring; and
Whereas, Gluten is found in most processed foods, but it is also used in nonedible products such as lipsticks, vitamins, and medications; and
Whereas, Gluten-free food touching the same surface as gluten-containing food can cause cross-contamination that can be dangerous for someone with celiac disease by triggering celiac disease symptoms; and
Whereas, Approximately 70 percent of people with celiac disease remain exposed to gluten while on the gluten free diet, putting their long-term health at risk.
Whereas, Awareness for celiac disease has grown significantly in recent years; and
Whereas, The development of new gluten-free food products has made it much easier for people with celiac disease to expand their dietary options; and
Whereas, Labeling of gluten-free products makes shopping easier for people with celiac disease; and
Whereas, Gluten-free restaurants, gluten-free menus, and the education of food handlers regarding celiac disease have given people living with celiac disease safer options for dining out; and
Whereas, There is still
much work to be done to properly educate restaurants, food handlers, retailers,
and the public about celiac disease and about how to properly handle and
prepare gluten-free products; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2021 as Celiac Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Whiteford, Aiyash, Allor, Bezotte, Breen, Brixie, Calley, Cherry, Garza, Haadsma, Hood, Hope, Koleszar, Morse, Rogers, Sabo, Sneller, Steenland, Stone, Thanedar, Whitsett, Witwer and Young offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 97.
A resolution to declare May 7, 2021, as Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Addressing the complex mental health needs of children, youth, and their families today is fundamental to the future of Michigan; and
Whereas, Many children and adolescents face serious challenges to their mental health; and
Whereas, The mental health of children and adolescents substantially impacts their future quality of life and ability to contribute to society as adults; and
Whereas, Preventative measures, early identification, and early interventions for the mental health of children and adolescents are proven to be highly cost-effective and efficient measures that maximize their health status; and
Whereas, The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, the Association for Children’s Mental Health, Michigan behavioral health care providers, quality improvement partners, and behavioral health advocates as well as the children and youth with lived experience, and their families through their unique approach and expertise in serving children and adolescents, are effectively caring for the mental health needs of children, youth, and families in our community; and
Whereas, It is appropriate that a day should be set apart each year for the direction of our thoughts toward our children’s mental health and well-being; and
Whereas, This resolution calls attention to the importance of children’s mental health and well-being and observance of the annual National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day on May 7; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 7, 2021, as Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Ellison, Mueller, Aiyash, Allor, Bezotte, Breen, Cherry, Garza, Haadsma, Hood, Hope, Cynthia Johnson, Morse, Rogers, Sneller, Sowerby, Steenland, Stone, Thanedar, Whitsett, Witwer and Young offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 98.
A resolution to declare May 2021 as Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease affecting approximately 30,000 children and adults in the United States; and
Whereas CF is a common autosomal recessive inherited disease, with a carrier rate of 1 in 29 among Caucasians and 1 in 65 among African Americans; and
Whereas, A defective gene causes the body to produce an abnormally thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs. These secretions produce life-threatening lung infections and obstruct the pancreas, preventing digestive enzymes from reaching the intestines to help break down and absorb food; and
Whereas, More than 10 million Americans are symptomless carriers of the defective cystic fibrosis gene; and
Whereas, There are approximately 1,000 people in Michigan living with the disease. The median age of survival for a person with cystic fibrosis is 47 years; and
Whereas, Infant blood screening to detect genetic defects is the most reliable and least costly method to identify persons likely to have CF. Early diagnosis of cystic fibrosis permits early treatment and enhances quality of life and longevity. The treatment of CF depends on the stage of the disease and the organs involved. A critical component of treating patients with cystic fibrosis includes access to innovative treatments, which can play a critical role in the lives of patients; and
Whereas, Michigan has the
second CF Task Force in the country that raises awareness and advocates for
people with CF. Michigan-based non-profit advocacy groups, such as the Rock CF
Foundation, The Bonnell Foundation: Living with cystic fibrosis, and Hunt for a
Cure raise awareness and funds to assist the CF Community. The CF
Foundations local chapter continues to raise much needed funds for research and
medications; and
Whereas, Michigan also has eight cystic fibrosis care centers: Children’s Hospital of Michigan, Wayne State University Harper University Hospital, Helen DeVos Women and Children’s Center, Spectrum Health Adult Cystic Fibrosis Care Center, Michigan State University Pediatric, University of Michigan Pediatric and Adult, Hurley Children’s Clinic at Mott Children’s Health Center, and Western Michigan University School of Medicine Clinics. Toledo, Ohio is also home to the Toledo Children’s Hospital and Northwest Ohio Cystic Fibrosis Center which serve Michigan patients as well; and
Whereas, During the month of May, cystic fibrosis chapters and volunteers will come together throughout the state of Michigan to raise awareness about the disease to achieve their mission of curing and providing support and treatment to those with cystic fibrosis; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2021 as Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

House Resolution No. 99.
A resolution to declare May 2021 as Bike Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, An estimated two million Michiganders ride bicycles because they are a viable and environmentally sound form of transportation and recreation, an excellent form of fitness, and they help improve quality of life, sense of place, and connect us all as one Michigan; and
Whereas, Riding a bicycle is an excellent form of exercise that improves mental and physical health and is part of a healthy lifestyle for individuals; and
Whereas, Thousands of people throughout Michigan will experience the joys of bicycling during the month of May through educational programs, commuting events, trail workdays, helmet promotions, and charity rides; and
Whereas, Commuting by bicycle benefits both employees and employers through improved employee health and fitness and a reduction in commuting costs; and
Whereas, Bicycle commuting is an effective way to improve air quality, reduce traffic congestion, and conserve energy; and
Whereas, In 2021, thousands of cyclists from across the country will participate in hundreds of organized Michigan cycling events to experience our beautiful scenery, many parks, attractions, and historic sites; and
Whereas, A 2014 MDOT study reported cycling provided $668 million per year in economic benefit to Michigan’s economy, including employment, retail revenue, tourism expenditure, and increased health and productivity; and
Whereas, Bicyclists are legal roadway users and teaching bicyclists and motorists to co-exist on the road is important to ensure the safety and comfort of all users; and
Whereas, Michigan has the most complete streets efforts in the nation with more than 100 local ordinances, resolutions, and policies that ensure bicyclists will be accommodated in future transportation projects; and
Whereas, Michigan is known as the top trail state joining together our upper and lower peninsula with the greatest number of rail-trail mileage at more than 2,700 miles, along with nearly 2,000 miles of looped mountain biking trails on state-managed lands linking the vibrant city of Detroit to the majestic hills of Iron Mountain, in addition to the internationally recognized mountain biking trail network in Copper Harbor or the Slow Roll in Detroit; and
Whereas, Michigan has thirteen recognized Bicycle Friendly Communities, nine Bicycle Friendly Universities, twenty-eight Bicycle Friendly Businesses, is ranked as the 15th most Bicycle Friendly State by the League of American Bicyclists, and has been recognized as having one of the oldest known established bike clubs formed in the late 1800’s; and
Whereas, Michigan has hundreds of bicycle shops and dozens of bike clubs and bicycle-related industries; and
Whereas, Michigan has three officially designated cross state U.S. Bicycle Routes (USBR). These cross-state USBR total nearly 1,000 miles; and
Whereas, Michigan is a leader of inclusive cycling opportunities which demonstrate that everyone can ride; and
Whereas,
Michigan’s own Horatio Earle led the Good Roads Movement that banded millions
of American bicyclists together to promote safer cycling, which resulted in the
creation of the Michigan State Highway Department (now MDOT) and Woodward Avenue
becoming the first mile of concrete highway in the world; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2021 as Bike Month in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Beeler, Sabo, Damoose, Wakeman, Fink, Eisen, Bellino, Brann, Bezotte, Wozniak, Beson, Borton, Bollin, Martin, Clements, Posthumus, Roth, LaFave, Tyrone Carter, Hall, Mueller, Lightner, Meerman, Outman, Hoitenga, Griffin, Rendon, Hauck, Filler, Paquette, Green, Tisdel, Maddock, Allor, Breen, Calley, Cherry, Garza, Haadsma, Cynthia Johnson, Koleszar, Slagh, Sneller, Steenland, Thanedar, Whitsett and Yaroch offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 100.
A resolution to declare May 9-15, 2021, as Police Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, In 1962, President John F. Kennedy proclaimed May 15th as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others; and
Whereas, There are more than 800,000 law enforcement officers serving in communities across the United States, including the approximately 17,000 full-time uniformed police officers in Michigan: and
Whereas, Members of law enforcement deserve the appreciation and respect of the people of Michigan for the merit, dignity, bravery, and reliability they exhibit each and every day. We must also honor the sacrifices made by families of police officers, as each day they must face constant fear as their loved one works to protect us; and
Whereas, In 2020 alone, 264 law enforcement officers were killed and many, many more were assaulted in the line of duty across the country. The names of these dedicated public servants who made the ultimate sacrifice are engraved on the walls of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C.; and
Whereas, Michigan’s fallen officers will never be forgotten, nor will their service to their respective communities. By choosing to commit themselves to law enforcement, these brave individuals answered the call for service and willingly put their lives in jeopardy. We commend them for recognizing service as a noble career, protecting the public safety, and also commend all of those who are serving without incident to date; and
Whereas, Michigan and all Michigan citizens have turned to members of law enforcement for assistance and support in times of distress, whether they are coping with a personal crisis or struggling through civil disorder or a natural disaster. Our communities rely on these courageous individuals when it is difficult to stand on our own and we are indebted to the unwavering public service of our local and state police. While we diligently seek to improve and perfect the operations and procedures of law enforcement, we realize that we are indeed fortunate and are grateful for the contributions of law enforcement officers to the people of this state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 9-15, 2021, as Police Week in the state of Michigan. We publicly salute the service of law enforcement officers in our community as well as those of our state and nation and honor police who place their lives on the line for the safety and security of their communities.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Kuppa, Brixie, Hood, Stone, Brenda Carter, Hertel, Hope, Rabhi, LaGrand, Aiyash, Cavanagh, Morse, Young, Pohutsky, Camilleri, Sowerby, Clemente, Brabec, Sabo, Haadsma, Yancey, Breen, Cherry, Garza, Slagh, Sneller, Steenland, Thanedar and Whitsett offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 101.
A resolution to memorialize the United States Senate to take action to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act or other similar policies.
Whereas, More than a half
century after the passage of the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and the Civil Rights Act
of 1964, women continue to be subjected to gender based pay differences.
Nationally, women earn only 82 cents for every dollar earned by men on
average. This gap is even wider in Michigan, with women averaging only 78 cents
on the dollar compared to men; and
Whereas, While the gender wage gap has narrowed over recent years, action must be taken to ensure its elimination. According to a 2018 study, if current trends continue, Michigan will not achieve equal pay until 2084; and
Whereas, The Paycheck Fairness Act would address the shortfalls of the Equal Pay Act of 1963 to help secure equal pay for equal work for all Americans. Among other provisions, the bill would require employers to prove that pay disparities exist for legitimate, job-related reasons and strengthen penalties for equal pay violations; and
Whereas, Action has already been taken on the Paycheck Fairness Act in the current Congress. In April, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the bill with bipartisan support; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the United States Senate to take action to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act or other similar policies; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate and the United States Senators from Michigan.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Workforce, Trades, and Talent.
Reps. Kuppa, Aiyash, Bezotte, Breen, Brixie, Cherry, Garza, Haadsma, Hood, Hope, Cynthia Johnson, Koleszar, Morse, Rogers, Sneller, Sowerby, Stone, Thanedar, Whitsett, Witwer and Young offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 102.
A resolution to declare May 2021 as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The state of Michigan is fortunate to be home to more than 330,000 residents of Asian and Pacific Island descent; and
Whereas, Asian Pacific Americans comprise one of the fastest-growing populations in both the state and the nation. In fact, this group is the largest-growing population in Michigan according to the last U.S. Census; and
Whereas, The Asian and Pacific Island regions are tremendously diverse; with more than thirty countries, numerous languages, and multiple belief systems; and
Whereas, Citizens of Asian and Pacific Island descent in each generation, rom the laborers who connected our coasts one and a half centuries ago to the patriots who fought overseas while their families were interned at home, to the entrepreneurs and engineers who help our economy thrive, and our healthcare professionals who have served to ensure public health during the pandemic, these patriotic Americans have enhanced our culture, quality of life, and economic vitality through leadership, commitments to knowledge, education, and advancement, and dedication to their communities; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan and the United States of America have been enriched by the contributions of Asian Pacific Americans in all facets of life, including the arts, sciences, business, education, and philanthropy. Michigan has recognized the contributions Asian Pacific Americans and other immigrants make to our economy with the establishment of the Michigan Asian Pacific American Affairs Commission and Office of Global Michigan; and
Whereas, The culture and contributions of our Asian and Pacific Island residents will continue to grow in significance as more Asian Pacific Americans choose to make Michigan their home and as our economy becomes increasingly intertwined with the economies throughout Asia; and
Whereas, Asian Pacific Americans, through advocating issues of justice and equality, continue to break down the barriers of discrimination, indifference, and intolerance, thereby opening doors for all Asian Pacific Americans; and
Whereas, Asian Pacific American residents are proudly served in Michigan by many dedicated organizations, including Asian Pacific American Chamber of Commerce, Council of Asian Pacific Americans, Asian American Citizens for Justice, Asian Center Southeast Michigan and West Michigan, West Michigan Asian Pacific American Association, APIA-Vote Michigan, Michigan Asian Pacific American Bar Association, South Asian Bar Association of Michigan, South Asian American Voices for Impact, MI-India Foundation, India League of America-Michigan, Asian Indian Women’s Association of Michigan, and many more; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan takes pride in its cultural diversity and welcomes the opportunity to honor our Asian Pacific American residents for their lasting, expanding imprint upon our state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2021 as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in the state of Michigan. We encourage all citizens to celebrate the individual and collective contributions of Asian Pacific Americans to this state and to this country.
