We ask that You watch over us on this day and every day as we work to represent the people of Michigan. We pray that as we are made in Your image, an image of wisdom, strength, caring, and forgiveness, that we will emulate You in our deeds and actions. We ask for Your wisdom in policy and its deliberation, and we pray that You grant us a servant’s heart in all our actions.

It is in Jesus’s name I pray and give thanks,

Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Phil Green, Alexander, BeGole, Bezotte, Bierlein, Breen, Fitzgerald, Glanville, Haadsma, Liberati, Morse, Rheingans, Rogers, Schuette, Shannon, Snyder and Wilson offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 50.

A resolution to declare March 2023 as Brain Injury Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1.5 million Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year, and over 50,000 of those individuals die as a result of these injuries. In Michigan alone, approximately 58,500 will sustain a TBI per year; and

Whereas, The costs relating to brain injury are staggering and individuals with severe brain injury can typically face life-long disabilities, even after rehabilitation. The CDC also estimates that cumulative costs exceed $60 billion annually; and

Whereas, Individuals with severe brain injury suffer from serious physical impairments and a variety of perceptual, cognitive, psychiatric, emotional, and behavioral complications, including impaired interpersonal and problem solving skills, memory loss, decreased thought processing abilities, speech and seizure disorders, and physical deficits; and

Whereas, The only cure for brain injury is prevention and public awareness is critical to the prevention of brain injury and to enhancing the recovery process of all individuals affected by TBI; and

Whereas, The Brain Injury Association of Michigan is a statewide membership organization dedicated to providing prevention, research, education, advocacy, and support services to all individuals affected by brain injury and to the general public; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2023 as Brain Injury Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We encourage public officials and the citizens of Michigan to observe the month with appropriate activities and programs to raise awareness about the symptoms of, and ways of preventing, brain injuries.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

Reps. O’Neal, Wilson, Byrnes, Rheingans, Grant, Glanville, Young, Hope, Brabec, Rogers, Hood, Aiyash, Alexander, BeGole, Bezotte, Bierlein, Breen, Fitzgerald, Haadsma, Liberati, Morse, Schuette, Shannon and Snyder offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 51.

A resolution to declare March 2, 2023, as Cardiovascular Disease Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and includes numerous diseases and disorders such as Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM); and

Whereas, In the United States, approximately 21 million patients have been diagnosed with ASCVD and an estimated 700,000 to 1,650,000 people have HCM, yet 85% of them may remain undiagnosed; and

Whereas, The Mayo Clinic states that ASCVD is linked to the build-up of cholesterol in the arteries and the risk of associated events can be modified by lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C); and

Whereas, HCM is a chronic cardiovascular disease involving thickening of the heart muscle and can potentially lead to debilitating symptoms and serious complications including heart failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, and in rare cases, sudden cardiac death; and

Whereas, HCM is the most common inheritable heart disease and can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, or ethnicity with a reported prevalence ranging from 1 in 200 to 1 in 500 in the general population; and

Whereas, Approximately 43.1 million people in the United States are currently treated with lipid-lowering therapies to manage cardiovascular risk. Only 20% of people with ASCVD who are taking statins, one of the leading lipid-lowering therapies, actually achieve healthy levels of LDL-C; and

Whereas, HCM shares symptoms with other common cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, such as shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, palpitations, and fainting, making it difficult to distinguish HCM from these other diseases; and

Whereas, A healthcare provider must conduct a thorough screening with cardiac health questions to help identify a risk of cardiac disorders both genetic and congenital and may include an echocardiogram, a cardiac MRI, or genetic testing to confirm a family history of cardiovascular disease, and must examine the heart to diagnose HCM; and

Whereas, The total direct and indirect cost of ASCVD in the US was $555 billion in 2016 and is projected to climb to $1.1 trillion by 2035 according to the American Heart Association; and

Whereas, In Michigan, 730,900 adults have been told by a health professional that they had angina, a stroke, a heart attack, or coronary heart disease, which are some of the manifestations of ASCVD or HCM; and

Whereas, In Michigan, 15,472 people had ASCVD as an underlying cause of death. With HCM, the all-cause mortality risk is 3-4x higher in patients than that of the general population; and

Whereas, In Michigan, 348,600 adults reported experiencing a heart attack in their lifetime and 281,200 adults reported experiencing a stroke in their lifetime; and

Whereas, Following a diagnosis of any cardiovascular disease, it is important for patients to work with their healthcare provider to learn more about their disease and understand different management options, including prescription medicines and surgical treatment options that may help; and

Whereas, The fourth Wednesday in February is an appropriate day to observe Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease & Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Awareness Day; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2, 2023, as Cardiovascular Disease Awareness Day in the state of Michigan. We urge state agencies to expand comprehensive cardiovascular screening programs to allow for earlier identification of patients at risk of cardiovascular events; and be it further

Resolved, That we encourage state agencies to explore ways to collaborate with federal and national agencies and organizations to establish or expand comprehensive cardiovascular screening programs and to update the state’s cardiovascular plan to accelerate quality improvements in the care rendered to these patients such that screening, treatment, monitoring, and improved health outcomes are achieved. We support the creation of policies to decrease the rising number of deaths of Americans as a result of ASCVD. We acknowledge the critical importance of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy awareness, support raising awareness of the consequences of undiagnosed and untreated HCM, and encourage appropriate care for HCM as a serious public health issue.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

Reps. Miller, Wegela, Alexander, Bezotte, Breen, Fitzgerald, Glanville, Haadsma, Liberati, Morse, Rheingans, Schuette, Snyder and Wilson offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 52.

A resolution to encourage the United States Federal Government to increase transparency and notification standards around the transportation of toxic waste materials across state and community lines.

Whereas, On February 3, 2023, a Norfolk Southern train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, spilling hazardous chemicals. The spill killed numerous wildlife, prompted hundreds of people to evacuate their homes, and caused many residents to complain about rashes, sore throats, and headaches; and

Whereas, Solid toxic waste from the crash was sent to the U.S. Ecology’s Wayne Disposal Inc. Hazardous Waste Landfill in Belleville, and liquid toxic waste was sent to the Republic Industrial and Energy Solutions LLC facility in Romulus. However, Michigan’s state officials and congressional representatives were not notified or consulted in the decision to send toxic waste to Belleville and Romulus until February 24, 2023; and

Whereas, Federal law requires generators of hazardous waste to prepare a manifest when the waste is shipped off-site to track it from the point of generation to a waste management facility that will store, treat, or dispose of the waste. The manifest form contains information on the type and quantity of the waste being transported, instructions for handling the waste, and signature lines for all parties that handle the waste. Each party that handles the waste keeps a copy of the manifest for their own records; and

Whereas, Federal law lacks uniform reporting and notification requirements, instead deferring to state laws to regulate the details of waste being transported through their jurisdictions. This jeopardizes the health and safety of citizens across America, because first responders are at elevated risk of being unprepared for accidents involving transportation of hazardous waste passing through their communities. Further, waste generators must comply with a patchwork of varying regulations, increasing the likelihood of non-compliance and inadequate information sharing; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we encourage the United States Federal Government to increase national transparency and notification standards around the transportation of hazardous waste materials across state and community lines to include advance notice to governors’ offices and state and local officials for impacted areas, including the communities that the waste will be traveling through; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and Michigan’s senatorial and congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Transportation, Mobility and Infrastructure.
