Rep Brad Paquette, from the 37th District, offered the following invocation:
“Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank You for this time to be alive. It is one where challenges abound, yet, where there is a challenge, it presents the opportunity to grow closer to You and understand Your ways. We seek Your glory as we love one another in our times of division. We pursue understanding of Your truth as we wish to measure up to Your Standards. Guide our thoughts and thus our actions. We will receive Your discipline as You discipline Your children. We repent and turn from our wicked ways as Your light illuminates the darkness in our hearts. We accept Your grace and mercy in forgiveness of our sins against Your will.
We ask You to speak to us, because Your servants are listening. Amen.”

A resolution to declare September 11-17, 2023, as Patriot Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, We recognize that understanding
American history and America’s first principles are indispensable to the
survival of our republic as a free people. In great reverence to the victims of
the attacks on September 11, 2001, we acknowledge that American citizens must
take time to honor the first principles, founders, documents, and symbols of
their history; and
Whereas, The events that led to the signing of the Constitution of the United States of America by the delegates of the Constitutional Convention on September 17, 1787, have significance for every American. This historical occasion is honored in public schools across the nation on September 17 of each year as Constitution Day; and
Whereas, Revolution, the rule of law, social compact, equality, unalienable rights, and limited government are the first principles upon which America was founded and flourishes; and
Whereas, Exceptional, visionary, and indispensable Americans such as Thomas Paine, Patrick Henry, John Adams, John Marshall, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King, Jr., Cesar Chavez, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison founded and advanced the United States; and
Whereas, The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the congressional resolution forwarding the Constitution to the states, Marbury v. Madison, Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions, the Gettysburg Address, the Emancipation Proclamation, Brown v. Board of Education, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the “I Have a Dream” speech are key documents that embody America’s first principles and have advanced American liberty; and
Whereas, The Bennington Flag, the original Betsy Ross American flag, the current American Flag, the Suffragist Flag, the Fort Sumter Flag, the Gadsden Flag, and the flag of the state of Michigan are fundamental physical symbols of American history and freedom that should be studied and remembered by each American citizen; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 11-17, 2023, as Patriot Week in the state of Michigan. We recognize that each generation needs to renew the spirit of America based on America’s first principles, historical figures, founding documents, and symbols of America. The citizens, schools, and other educational institutions, government agencies, municipalities, and nonprofit, religious, labor, community, and business organizations are urged to recognize and participate in Patriot Week by honoring and celebrating so that all may offer the reverence that is due to our free republic.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Rep. Wozniak moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:
Substitute for House Resolution No. 132.

House Resolution No. 131.
A resolution to declare September 2023 as Cholesterol Education Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The American Heart Association (AHA) defines cholesterol as waxy, fat-like substance circulating in the blood; and
Whereas, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identifies two types of cholesterol: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C); and
Whereas, LDL-C contributes to fatty build ups in the arteries, and HDL-C carries LDL-C away from the arteries and back to the liver; and
Whereas, High cholesterol, also called hypercholesterolemia, is the chronic presence of high levels of LDL‑C in the blood that can lead to cardiovascular disease; and
Whereas, The AHA explains that cardiovascular disease can refer to a number of conditions, including heart disease, atherosclerosis, heart attack, stroke, heart failure, arrhythmia, and heart valve problems; and
Whereas, According to the CDC, nearly 94 million adults in the United States have high cholesterol; and
Whereas, The CDC estimates that someone in the United States has a heart attack every 40 seconds, but 80% of heart attacks are preventable; and
Whereas, The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) co-leads the Michigan Million Hearts Initiative with AHA of Michigan, which is committed to the effective use of clinical and community strategies to diagnose and treat people with heart disease and its risk factors; and
Whereas, MDHHS Cardiovascular Disease Dashboard reported data from 2011-2019 found 9.4% prevalence of cardiovascular disease among Michigan adults aged eighteen and older; and
Whereas, Heart disease accounted for 76% of disease hospitalizations between 2016 and 2019, as reported by MDHHS; and
Whereas, AHA indicates cardiovascular disease disproportionately affects minority populations; and
Whereas, Researchers with the Family Heart Foundation found that despite the availability of effective treatments for high cholesterol, 71% of hypercholesterolemia patients at high risk for heart attack and stroke never achieve LDL-C levels below recommended thresholds; and
Whereas, The CDC’s Million Hearts Program is a national initiative to prevent one million heart attacks and strokes between 2022 and 2027; and
Whereas, The CDC views high cholesterol as a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, including heart attack and stroke; and
Whereas, September is recognized as National Cholesterol Education Month to raise awareness of cardiovascular disease and the importance of knowing one’s LDL-C number; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 2023 as Cholesterol Education Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
