Rep. Emily Dievendorf, from the 77th District, offered the following invocation:
“بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْم. Bismillah, Al-Rahman, Al-Raheem. In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful.
Grant us grace, wisdom and courage to navigate with compassion complexity: within these halls and in the neighborhoods where we most directly serve.
Let us know the weight and honor of our individual and collective service.
Instill, in this legislative body, a commitment to share with all the power, access and opportunity granted us through the will of the people.
Inspire, inform and strengthen the quality of our work with the stories and solutions offered by those among us fighting hardest battles.
In absence of complete knowledge, root us in a cognizance of our own limited experience and guard us from our selfishness nature.
Free us from the clumsiness of good intent and the injury that accompanies a pace of production that excludes and silences.
Let us learn from our mistakes, embrace conflict and hard truths, and remain willing to change our minds.
Let us always seek progress over stagnation, love over harm, and to be on the right side of history and conscience - the first time.
Allow us the insight and humility to apply our talents and passions to doing good better, guiding us beyond the dangers of our own fallibility and ego.
Let us listen, learn, and improve on our leadership, representation, and service with each new lesson and every new friendship.
Grant us the patience and empathy to stay in relationship with each other.
Nurture in us the vulnerability and openness necessary to be generous, kind, accepting and genuine in our conduct.
Commit us to truth, justice, transparency, integrity, compassion, ethics and above all a love for one another.
Let us lean on each other, in recognition of our shared humanity and common goals.
Guide us in cultivating a place of harmony, reconciliation and accountability in hope that we may contribute to a great healing and a brighter world.
May all beings be at ease.
Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Byrnes, Miller, Breen, Hope, Brixie, Coffia, Hoskins, Skaggs, Conlin, Alexander, Bezotte, Bierlein, Fitzgerald, Glanville, Haadsma, Harris, Kunse, Liberati, Morse, Price, Rheingans, Rogers, Schuette, Snyder, Stone, Wegela and Young offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 56.
A resolution to declare March 13-18 2023, as Sunshine Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Sunshine Week is a national
initiative spearheaded by the American Society of News Editors to educate the
public about the importance of open government and the dangers of excessive and
unnecessary secrecy. The first nationwide Sunshine Week took place March 13-19,
2005; and
Whereas, Sunshine Week was established to spark a discussion about the importance of open government and public access to government documents and meetings. Sunshine Week was also a way to draw attention to the media’s role in advocating for government transparency; and
Whereas, The American public has relied on a free press for more than two centuries to stay informed about the many activities in which our government engages. Thomas Jefferson penned in his letter to Elbridge Gerry on January 26, 1799, that “I am ... for freedom of the press, and against all violations of the Constitution to silence by force and not by reason the complaints or criticisms, just or unjust, of our citizens against the conduct of their agents.” Six U.S. Supreme Court justices ruled in favor of the freedom of the press in New York Times Co. v. United States, with Justice Black concurring, “Only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government;” and
Whereas, Without the diligent work of a free press, many Americans would not have access to accurate information that directly impacts their daily lives. Many institutions promoting a free press have been targeted by high profile and unwarranted attacks discrediting their viability through a new era of misinformation; and
Whereas, An open and accessible government is vital to establishing and maintaining the people’s trust and confidence in their government and in the government’s ability to effectively serve its citizens and free press is an essential part of that mission; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 13‑18, 2023, as Sunshine Week in the state of Michigan. The House of Representatives realizes every citizen in our participatory democracy has an inherent right to access to government meetings and public records and is committed to openness and transparency in all aspects of its operations and seeks to set a standard in this regard.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Conlin, Breen, Byrnes, Fitzgerald, Glanville, Haadsma, Hoskins, Liberati, Morse, Price, Rheingans, Rogers, Snyder, Stone, Wegela and Young offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 57.
A resolution to declare March 2023 as Pay Equity Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, It has been 60 years since the passage of the Equal Pay Act. 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 2023 as Pay Equity Month in the state of Michigan. We encourage Michigan’s citizens to recognize the full value of women’s skills and significant contributions to the labor force.

I oppose the Tax Exemption without an alternative funding source.”
Rep. Jaime Greene, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
While I support tax cuts, we must do so in a fair process. In this case, we are ensuring that school funding is not impacted by this change in the tax code, but we are cutting funding to local government. Law enforcement is primarily provided by local government. How do we say that we back the blue while cutting funding to those who provide law enforcement?”

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on this and other bills in the package because Treasury asked the Legislature to clarify these tax policies, not to repeal taxes on these services. Therefore, there may still be disputes regarding the taxation of these services.”
