Pastor Steve Sanders, Assistant Pastor of First Baptist Church of Lake Orion in Lake Orion, offered the following invocation:

“Our God & Lord, Creator of the universe and Sovereign King over all, we bow before You this morning as the One to Whom we all must give an account. You alone are all-knowing, all-wise, and all-powerful. This afternoon, on behalf of each of these dedicated public servants, we ask You for wisdom for these men and women to best serve their constituents in our great state of Michigan. We are blessed to live in a culture where we have so much; and yet, with much blessing there is much responsibility to manage it well. May the sovereign truth of Your Word be used by Your Holy Spirit to influence and guide these representatives, that they may honor You and do right by those You have given them to represent. May You continue to extend Your mercy and grace to each of us, Your image bearers, that we would acknowledge You, serve You, and best serve one another. Since it is around the foundational truths of Your word that we find direction, guidance, and peace, may we seek to know You and be blessed as we follow You. And, Lord, may this day in particular be one in which each one of these esteemed servants considers You, and enable them to be a blessing to each other as they conduct the business of the day. We thank You for this privilege, in the blessed name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior and soon-coming King. Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Markkanen and Fox offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 151.

A resolution to urge the federal government to purchase the Ojibway Correctional Facility and turn it into a detention and deportation center for United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Whereas, In December 2018, the Michigan Department of Corrections closed the Ojibway Correctional Facility in Marenisco, Michigan. The closure resulted in the loss of hundreds of jobs for hardworking Michiganders dedicated to protecting their community. Since 2021, the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget has been attempting to sell the property; and

Whereas, In support of President Donald Trump’s ongoing crackdown on illegal immigration, the state of Florida has recently repurposed a little used airport in Miami-Dade County to convert it into a new migrant detention facility – dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” It is expected that the facility will be able to hold approximately 3,000 detainees, with the possibility of expansion; and

Whereas, Since the beginning of President Trump’s second term in office, arrests made by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Michigan have increased by 154 percent. As the number of arrests continues to rise, so does the need to have more space to hold detainees. The addition of another dedicated federal detention and deportation facility in Michigan would go far in furthering President Trump’s policy goals; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the federal government to purchase the Ojibway Correctional Facility and turn it into a detention and deportation center for the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the Majority Leader of the United States Senate, the Secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security, the Acting Director of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to Committee on Government Operations.

Reps. Weiss, Miller, Mentzer, Young, Longjohn, Hoskins, McFall, Pohutsky, Koleszar, Tsernoglou, Wooden, Glanville, Tyrone Carter, Rheingans, Arbit, Coffia, Dievendorf, Conlin, Andrews, McKinney, Wegela, O’Neal, Neeley, Brixie, Martus, Hope, Snyder, Liberati and Paiz offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 152.

A resolution opposing any further action by the Trump administration to eliminate the livelihoods of federal workers without just cause and take away their right to organize and collectively bargain.

Whereas, Federal government employees are Americans who are called upon to deliver critical support to our troops, care for our veterans, and work to enhance the lives of their fellow Americans. These public employees are our neighbors in towns and cities across America and they contribute mightily to the fabric of our society, our democracy, and the state’s tax base; and

Whereas, Like all hardworking Americans, federal employees deserve respect and fair treatment on the job. This means that they need adequate protections against the unlawful taking of their livelihood. Assuring that they cannot be fired without just cause not only benefits federal employees, but protects American citizens against a corrupt government; and

Whereas, President Donald Trump has continuously undermined the federal workforce since taking office in January. Specifically, many federal employees have been summarily discharged, without adequate notice, just cause, or being provided any performance-related reasoning for their termination. Further, on March 27, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order outlawing collective bargaining for nearly a million federal workers, citing a little-used provision of federal labor law related to national security issues. Eliminating the right of federal employees to collectively bargain eliminates their voice and right to fair treatment in employment decisions; and

Whereas, The Trump administration’s actions undermine the principles of fair treatment and just cause for all workers. As the popular motto goes, “an injury to one is an injury to all.” It is critical to our country and to communities across our state that the federal government stop any further action to take away the livelihoods and rights of federal workers; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we oppose any further action by the Trump administration to eliminate the livelihoods of federal workers without just cause and take away their right to organize and collectively bargain; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States and Michigan’s congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to Committee on Government Operations.

Reps. Wozniak and Fox offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 1.

A concurrent resolution to urge the Governor of Michigan to issue an executive directive that would require administrating agencies to assess if the implementation of their programs reduce Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and provide an annual report and data to the Legislature and general public about progress in reducing ACEs in Michigan.

Whereas, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are potentially traumatic events occurring before age 18. ACEs are widely recognized as dominant factors in the current and future well-being of children due to their harmful effects. ACEs can include physical, emotional, and sexual abuse; physical and emotional neglect; and various other events leading to instability within the household; and

Whereas, The relationship between ACEs and future health issues and conditions has an evidence-based foundation starting with the groundbreaking ACE study conducted collaboratively between the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Kaiser Permanente in the 1990s. This study found a correlation between the number of ACEs and an individual’s risk for negative health and well-being outcomes. The growing body of evidence on the science of human development incorporates research findings on ACEs and the long-term neurobiological, biomedical, and epigenetic consequences of toxic stress; and

Whereas, In 2019, a state survey estimated that 4.4 million Michigan adults, 68 percent of the adult population, had at least one ACE during their childhood. As many as 20 percent of all Michigan adults had four or more ACEs. Those who had a greater number of ACEs were more likely to experience and be diagnosed with chronic diseases, such as depression. Forty-one percent of Michigan adults with four or more ACEs reported being diagnosed with depression and all Michigan adults with one or more ACEs reported higher health risks than those with no ACEs; and

Whereas, ACEs are strongly associated with long-term mental health outcomes, including increased risk for depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, and suicidal ideation. The impact of ACEs on brain development and emotional regulation can persist into adulthood, straining mental health systems and communities alike; and

Whereas, The relationship between ACEs and the current prevalence of chronic disease, addictive behaviors, and related conditions must be recognized as a public health crisis. Nationwide, these conditions and illnesses cost billions of dollars in resources and reduce lifetime expectancy. Negative health outcomes resulting from childhood trauma have the potential to be stopped for future generations if preventative actions are taken now; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we urge the Governor of Michigan to issue an executive directive that would require administrating agencies to assess if the implementation of their programs reduce ACEs and provide an annual report and data to the Legislature and general public about progress in reducing ACEs in Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor of the state of Michigan and the Director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

The concurrent resolution was referred to Committee on Families and Veterans.

Rep. Posthumus moved that Rule 41 be suspended.

The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.

Rep. Posthumus moved that the Committee on Economic Competitiveness be discharged from further consideration of House Bill No. 4543.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
