Lord, let us express our gratitude for the opportunity to serve the people of the great state of Michigan; for the gifts we have that enable us to make a difference in the lives of our constituents; for the chance to do something very special and meaningful with our careers. Help us to embrace the challenge and responsibility we have as leaders, to guide us to lead with integrity and common sense. Give us the wisdom to make intelligent decisions. Give us the courage to make tough decisions. Give us the character to make right decisions. Finally, help us to always be welcoming, inclusive, and open in the name of our faith without compromising the values that we hold dear.

Lord, give us the humility to acknowledge that we don’t always know the right thing to do, but also to live in the hope that the fact that we want to please You pleases You. Thank you God, thank you for this opportunity to serve, thank you for the opportunity to serve with these great men and women and serve the great people of Michigan.

Resolutions

 

 

Senator Geiss entered the Senate Chamber.

 

Senators Theis, Bizon, Zorn, Daley, Wozniak, Johnson, Victory, MacDonald, Outman and Barrett offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 107.

A resolution to affirm our commitment to the fundamental rights of parents to direct the education of their children, and call on Governor Whitmer to publicly acknowledge these rights.

Whereas, The fundamental right of parents over the upbringing of their children has been unequivocally established in the United States. Parents are in the best position to know their own child’s needs and circumstances, and therefore, should maintain authority over all decisions that could impact the health and well-being of their children; and

Whereas, Education remains a critical part of any child’s upbringing. The “natural fundamental right of parents and legal guardians to determine and direct the care, teaching, and education of their children” has been a cornerstone declaration in Michigan law for over 25 years; and

Whereas, Public schools are directed to listen to and respect the wishes of parents in the development of academic standards and curricula. The Michigan Revised School Code provides, “the public schools of this state serve the needs of the pupils by cooperating with the pupil’s parents and legal guardians to develop the pupil’s intellectual capabilities and vocational skills in a safe and positive environment”; and

Whereas, Some education systems and elected officials across the country have been disregarding or infringing on parents’ rights related to their children’s education. For example, radical politics have permeated public school curricula, resulting in education that amounts to political indoctrination. In addition, parents who try to object are either ignored, shamed or silenced; and

Whereas, In October 2021, the Legislature sought to empower parents and children by providing scholarships to enhance the educational experience of Michigan students in a multitude of ways. Governor Gretchen Whitmer, driven by a denial of the basic premise that Michigan parents and students must have freedom and flexibility over education, vetoed this legislation; and

Whereas, Parents have the right to ensure that their children are receiving appropriate education. It is essential that parents’ voices are respected and incorporated into the development of academic curricula; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we affirm our commitment to the fundamental rights of parents to direct the education of their children; and be it further

Resolved, That we call on Governor Gretchen Whitmer to publicly acknowledge the fundamental right of parents over the upbringing of their children, including a central role in what it is their children are learning; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and the State Board of Education.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,

Senator Lauwers moved that consideration of the resolution be postponed for today.

The motion prevailed.

 

 

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 7.

A concurrent resolution to urge the Natural Resources Commission to authorize, and the Department of Natural Resources to organize, wolf hunting and trapping as part of the state’s wolf management efforts beginning in 2021.

(For text of resolution, see Senate Journal No. 20 of 2021, p. 291.)

The House of Representatives has substituted (H-1) the concurrent resolution as follows:

A concurrent resolution to urge the Wolf Management Advisory Council and the Natural Resources Commission to authorize, and the Department of Natural Resources to organize, wolf hunting and trapping as part of the state’s wolf management efforts beginning in 2022.

Whereas, Gray wolves in Michigan have been protected under the federal Endangered Species Act since 1974. At that time, gray wolves were in danger of going extinct and needed the special protection provided by the act to aid their recovery; and

Whereas, The federal government removed the gray wolf from the federal Endangered Species list effective January 4, 2021. Gray wolves have made a remarkable recovery from near extinction. Michigan’s current gray wolf population of almost 700 wolves exceeds by over three times the number of wolves biologists consider necessary to maintain a healthy population in the state. Michigan’s wolf population has met all federal recovery goals for delisting both in terms of number of wolves and the stability of those numbers for many years; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan is now responsible for managing its gray wolf population, and Department of Natural Resources officials stated as recently as the summer of 2020 that their survey results show that Michigan’s wolf population has recovered. Wolves in Michigan achieved the minimum sustainable population goal of 200 wolves for five consecutive years in 2004 and have since surpassed state and federal population recovery goals for nearly 20 years; and

Whereas, Managed hunting and trapping in the state is a viable means of ensuring stable wolf population numbers. Management allows the wolf population to be kept at levels that ensure the overall survival of the animal but limit potential wolf and human conflicts; and

Whereas, Michigan has an active and legitimate wolf management plan in place that was updated in 2015. While we commend the department for beginning the process of updating this plan again and commend the Natural Resources Commission for setting a plan update deadline of the end of 2021, there is no statutory requirement or precedent to delay a 2022 wolf hunt while the plan is reviewed and updated. Neither is there a requirement for a statewide public attitude survey or study to occur prior to a hunting season; and

Whereas, The law is clear that the commission should, to the greatest extent practicable, utilize principles of sound scientific management in making decisions regarding the taking of game; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we urge the Wolf Management Advisory Council and the Natural Resources Commission to authorize, and the Department of Natural Resources to organize, wolf hunting and trapping as part of the state’s wolf management efforts beginning in 2022; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the members of the Natural Resources Commission and the Wolf Management Advisory Council and the Director of the Department of Natural Resources.

The House of Representatives has adopted the concurrent resolution as substituted (H-1).

Pursuant to rule 3.202, the concurrent resolution was laid over one day.

Statements

 

 

Senator Wozniak asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Wozniak’s statement is as follows:

I rise today to thank and bid farewell to an outstanding member of Team Woz. Taylor Enyart served as a legislative intern in both my House and Senate offices. She is committed, hardworking, and intelligent; and we have greatly enjoyed having her on the team. My staff and I came to depend upon her for numerous daily tasks such as responding to constituent inquiries, drafting tributes, and performing issue research; and she never failed—never—to meet or exceed expectations.

Yesterday was Taylor’s last day with the office. As a junior at MSU’s James Madison College, from which she plans to graduate in the spring of next year with a degree in international relations, she will now place her full focus on her studies where it should be. While we will miss her, we know she will go on to do great things in her future career and we wish her all the best. Taylor, thank you for your service to my office and to the people of the 36th House and the 8th Senate districts.

Mr. President, I ask that my colleagues join me in recognizing Taylor and wishing her well.
