O’ merciful God we need Your guidance to get our priorities right

Open our mind to receive Your eternal wisdom

Open our hearts O’Lord do that we heal the wounds of division and discontent within our people

Teach us O’God to have open mind and be impartial in our endeavors

We ask all this in Your many glorious and holy names

Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Brenda Carter, Fitzgerald, Haadsma, Hoskins, Morse, Price, Rheingans, Rogers, Weiss and Young offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 61.

A resolution to declare April 2023 as Financial Literacy Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The informed use of credit and other financial products and services benefits individual consumers and promotes economic growth; and

Whereas, Learning these skills at an early age encourages greater economic self-sufficiency, higher levels of successful homeownership, and enhanced retirement security, particularly among low-and moderate-income citizens; and

Whereas, Michigan has formally participated in financial literacy programming for years through the collaboration and coordinated effort of hundreds of organizations including financial institutions, non-profit groups, government entities, schools, and libraries. The initiative showcases these organizations’ educational resources, strengthens public-private partnerships, engages the media, and connects people with resources to help them better manage their money; and

Whereas, A greater understanding of, and familiarity with, financial markets and institutions will lead to increased economic activity and growth; and

Whereas, According to a 2020 Financial Literacy Survey from the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, 62% of U.S. adults have carried credit card debt in the last 12 months. Additionally, in a 2021 Financial Literacy and Preparedness Survey conducted by Harris Insights and Analytics LLC, 44% of adults living in the United States gave themselves a grade of C, D, or F on their knowledge of personal
finance; and

Whereas, Personal financial education and money management skills are crucial to ensure that all Michiganders and especially our young people are prepared to manage credit and debt and become responsible workers, heads of households, homeowners, investors, entrepreneurs, business leaders, and productive citizens; and

Whereas, Expanding access to the mainstream financial system will provide individuals with less expensive and more secure funding options for managing finances and building wealth; and

Whereas, The young people of our state represent Michigan’s single greatest resource who, in the years ahead, will assume leadership positions and responsibility for the advancement of our society; and

Whereas, Financial Literacy Month highlights the commitment of Michigan banks and credit unions to strengthen the financial knowledge of Michigan citizens to prepare them for a fiscally-responsible future; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 2023 as Financial Literacy Month in the state of Michigan. We encourage raising public awareness about the importance of personal financial education in Michigan and the rest of the United States. This will help address the serious problems that are associated with the mismanagement of personal finances; and be
it further

Resolved, That we call on each parent, school, business, financial institution, community organization, and unit of government to observe the month with appropriate programs and activities.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

Reps. Hood, Glanville, Neeley, Dievendorf, Rogers, Brabec, Roth, Paiz, Puri, Morgan, Farhat, Scott, McKinney, Hill, Brenda Carter, Weiss, Tsernoglou, Steckloff, Byrnes, Hope, McFall, Wilson, Rheingans, Brixie, Miller, Wegela, Beson, Grant, Liberati, Kunse, Snyder, Coleman, Tyrone Carter, Shannon, Andrews, Koleszar, Pohutsky, Churches, Morse, Conlin, MacDonell, Fitzgerald, Aiyash, Haadsma, Hoskins, Price, Rheingans and Young offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 62.

A resolution to declare March 22, 2023, as Michigan Water Day and World Water Day in the state
of Michigan.

Whereas, Since 1993, the United Nations has designated March 22nd as World Water Day. In 2010, the United Nations acknowledged “the importance of equitable access to safe and clean drinking water and sanitation as an integral component of the realization of all human rights”; and

Whereas, The theme of World Water Day 2023 is accelerating change to solve the water and sanitation crisis. Billions of people around the world do not have access to clean water and sanitation; and

Whereas, A substantial number of Michigan residents do not have reliable access to clean water and sanitation. During the recent pandemic, when access to clean water and sanitation was especially vital,
tens of thousands of Michigan residents were at risk of water service shutoffs. Water services and sanitation should meet the needs of all Michiganders, including those who are the most vulnerable; and

Whereas, Water is a human right; now therefore be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 22, 2023, as Michigan Water Day and World Water Day in the state of Michigan. It is with great honor and appreciation that we take this time to join other states and nations in expressing our commitment to ensuring that clean affordable drinking water is available to all Michiganders; and commit ourselves to promotion of public awareness to prevent our precious water from pollution and depletion. On this day, we will celebrate and honor the pure water in our state, our country, and our world; and be it further

Resolved, While we recognize the interconnectedness of humanity and appreciate global challenges, we also recognize our duty as Michiganders in protecting our natural resources and instilling a sense of pride in ourselves and our children for our Great Lakes; and be it further

Resolved, We cherish and acknowledge the special responsibility of protecting Michigan’s waters for current and future generations and of assuring access to clean water and sanitation for all Michigan residents.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.
