Rev. Robert Prange, Pastor of Grove Bible Church in St. Johns, offered the following invocation:
"Our Heavenly Father, we thank You that Thou art God. Lord, we thank You, we praise You, knowing that You are all-knowing, You are all-powerful, and You are holy. Lord, for the fact that You love us and that You have shown this in so many ways. Father, we thank You for raising up this government, and especially for the state of Michigan. Today, we meet in this House Chamber. Lord, we recognize You have blessed us in many ways, but also along with this You have presented us with a series of problems that probably only You can solve. Lord, we look to You for wisdom to know and do Your will; to discern wrong from right and Lord that we might shun the wrong and stand for the right. God we pray that You guide us, that we might be men like Daniel, that we might be men and women like Paul and others that have served You so well. Lord, we recognize that those in government are ministers of God according to Romans: 13, that they carry out Your business and we trust Your will. Now, Lord, we ask You to give wisdom that we might please You rather than ourselves. That we might do what is right, regardless of our own feelings, and then Lord that we would have wisdom in allocating the funds. Lord, this is always a tug of war, but we look to You and we pray that You take us by the hand today and lead us through this maze. Lord, we ask these things in the name of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen."

Rep. Rivet, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on final passage of HB 6114 (H-2) for the following reasons:
It is not appropriate for the Legislature to put a question on a local ballot to amend a city charter through state legislation. This bill violates the principle of local control. Detroit's city charter sets forth a process for putting questions such as this on the ballot, and that process should be respected."
Senate Bill No. 540, entitled
A bill to authorize the state administrative board to convey certain state owned property in Macomb county; to prescribe conditions for the conveyance; and to provide for disposition of the revenue from the conveyance.

House Resolution No. 459.
A resolution commemorating the centennial anniversary of 4-H and expressing appreciation for the valuable contributions it has made to the citizens of Michigan, the United States, and around the world.
Whereas, We are proud to join with the members, officers, and friends of 4-H as they gather to mark the 100th anniversary of this worldwide organization. This milestone is a reflection of the tireless commitment of faithful volunteers, families, communities, and the young people who truly reflect the motto of 4-H, "To make the best better."; and
Whereas, 4-H stands for the values that has contributed to the pride associated with fine citizenship, dignity, and character. While most know of 4-H and the contributions it makes to their local community, some are unaware that the name is derived from their mission and pledge:
I pledge
My head to clearer thinking
My heart to greater loyalty
My hands to larger service and
My health to better living
For my club, my community, my country, and my world.
; and
Whereas, The goals of 4-H are not limited to the enrichment of one community, the state of Michigan, or the United States, the impact of 4-H has benefited people throughout the world through leadership development, service to others, and the environment; and
Whereas, With ceremonies rightfully taking place throughout many regions of the country and in many counties throughout Michigan, the members and officers of 4-H will remember the vision of many people and the hours and years of commitment that has brought the group to this point. Fittingly, as they look to the past, they will also be casting an eye to the future and to the many ways in which 4-H will continue to reach out in our state and around the world; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the centennial anniversary of 4-H and express appreciation for the valuable contributions it has made to the citizens of Michigan, the United States, and around the world; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan 4-H as evidence of our admiration.
Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,
Rep. Patterson moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

House Resolution No. 460.
A resolution congratulating the Michigan Association of Retired School Personnel (MARSP) upon the celebration of their 50th anniversary.
Whereas, The Michigan Retired Public School Employees Association was founded in Detroit, Michigan on December 15, 1951, as a department of the Michigan Education Association (MEA). In 1953, they began publishing the Vanguard, an educational newsletter for retired school employees that still exists today; and
Whereas, The Michigan Retired Public School Employees Association broke ties with MEA when they became an organized employee union and, on August 24, 1954, affiliated with the National Retired Teachers Association; and
Whereas, In 1965, the Michigan Retired Public School Employees Association officially changed their name to the Michigan Retired Teachers Association and, in 1969, joined the newly developed Retirement Coordinating Council; and
Whereas, In 1974, the Michigan Retired Teachers Association approved a new constitution and changed their name to the Michigan Association of Retired School Personnel; and
Whereas, In 1983, MARSP's membership rejected a merger proposal from the Michigan Education Association, moved their association headquarters from Detroit to Lansing, and became a completely independent association; and
Whereas, In 1992, construction was begun on the new MARSP Center located at the corner of Jolly and Collins Road near Lansing and, in April of 1993, the MARSP Center was dedicated and opened as the new home of the Michigan Association of Retired School Personnel; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body congratulate the Michigan Association of Retired School Personnel (MARSP) upon the celebration of their 50th anniversary. We join retired school employees from around the country in congratulating MARSP and their 40,000 members on the event of the celebration of their 50th anniversary and commend them for their efforts on behalf of current and retired public school employees; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Association of Retired School Personnel as a token of our esteem.

Whereas, It is with deep appreciation for all of the hard work, commitment, and planning that we recognize and commend the Michigan Association of Public Employee Retirement Systems (MAPERS) and Grand Valley State University for the development of the MAPERS Achievement Program. The primary purpose of the Michigan Association of Public Employee Retirement Systems is to promote of Michigan's public employee retirement systems and retiree health care plans through the education of their trustees, administrators, and other professionals; and
Whereas, The MAPERS Achievement Program is designed to provide formal education in the areas of fiduciary responsibility and benefits administration. Furthermore, the MAPERS curriculum is structured to provide a broad based educational foundation. Its curriculum is divided into three categories: Category I - Pension Fundamental Series; Category II - Institutional Investment; and Category III - Benefits Administration; and
Whereas, The MAPERS' motto is, "Tomorrow's Future Through Today's Education". MAPERS strives for and facilitates the discussion and mutual exchange of ideas on topics of retiree benefits, administration, and trust fund investment; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize and commend the Michigan Association of Public Employee Retirement Systems. We commend them for their development of and Grand Valley State University's support of the MAPERS Achievement Program; and be it further

Whereas, It is with deep appreciation for the significance of this milestone that we commend Local No. 275 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers upon the occasion of its 100th anniversary; and
Whereas, Local No. 275 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers was formed on June 19, 1902, in Muskegon, Michigan. Charter members included E.B. Morey, William Steiner, A.D. Morey, Charles Hammond, William Hammond, Ed Hughes, J. Hoyt, E. Plunkett, and William Frost; and
Whereas, Local No. 275 merged with Local No. 107 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1996, and has expanded its jurisdiction to 14 Michigan counties; and
Whereas, From this original contingent of members, Local No. 275 has grown to a present membership of 1,033, which includes inside and residential wiremen, electric motor repairmen, cable television installers, maintenance men, voice-data-video, traffic signals, television technicians, and manufacturing shops such as Evans Tempcon, Harlo Corporation, Bekaert Wire, and Wood TV. They also have a school-to-work program which works with high school students; and

House Resolution No. 463.
A resolution expressing our support for constitutionally protected First Amendment freedom of speech rights.
Whereas, The American principles of good government, the rule of law, individual liberty, and economic freedom are impossible to achieve without the guaranteed protection of fundamental political and civil rights; and
Whereas, Perhaps the most fundamental and important of political and civil rights is that of free speech; and
Whereas, Our Founding Fathers, recognizing the importance of free speech, guaranteed its protection in the First Amendment of our constitution. Free speech, especially free political speech, is necessary for a healthy and free society; and
Whereas, The Michigan Constitution reiterates this sentiment in Article I, Section 5, proclaiming, "Every person may freely speak, write, express and publish his views on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of such right; and no law shall be enacted to restrain or abridge the liberty of speech or of the press."; and
Whereas, Some organizations and individuals attempt to stifle the constitutionally protected right of free speech through lawsuits or other frivolous challenges to the First Amendment; and
Whereas, We stand in moral opposition to the plaintiffs in the case of Battaglieri v. Mackinac Center and to all organizations and individuals who attempt to abuse the legal system in order to hinder the constitutionally protected right of free expression. We stand in moral support of organizations, such as the Michigan-based Mackinac Center for Public Policy, that are forced defend their constitutional rights; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we express support for our constitutionally protected First Amendment freedom of speech rights; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Mackinac Center for Public Policy.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on House Oversight and Operations.

House Resolution No. 464.
A resolution honoring Reverend Dr. Mable E. Allen on her birthday and pastoral anniversary.
Whereas, The observance of the birthday and pastoral anniversary of Reverend Dr. Mable E. Allen is an event of significance far beyond the reaches of Rhema Church of the Living God and the city of Detroit. In her long and devoted efforts to offer spiritual and personal guidance to others through her ministry, this dedicated and unselfish woman has touched many lives through the power of faith. Gifts like these are of importance to everyone; and
Whereas, Reverend Dr. Mable E. Allen founded Rhema Church of the Living God over 13 years ago and it has been at its present location on Detroit's east side at 4719 Cadieux Road for the past nine years. Reverend Dr. Allen graduated from Northern High School and received her degree in guidance and counseling/psychology from Wayne State University. She has been bestowed an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity from Harvard University; and
Whereas, In the years since Reverend Dr. Mable E. Allen came to work with the individuals and families at Rhema Church of the Living God, the congregation has come to highly value all of the talents of this outstanding and effective spiritual leader. Whether helping people celebrate the great turning points in life, like weddings and baptisms, or by sharing the sad moments of a loved one's passing, Reverend Dr. Mable E. Allen has brought the peace of deep faith in every situation; and
Whereas, As Pastor of Rhema Church, Reverend Dr. Allen has strengthened her congregation and her community. She has inspired and encouraged many through her powerful words which stem from her inexhaustible faith. Through leadership development, she equips and prepares those who have been called to service in the ministry and community. Reverend Dr. Allen also organized a youth group, which provides supervised activities and encourages young people in spiritual, academic, and social excellence. She has established both a youth mentor program, The Twelve, and a men's ministry program called "Men of Valor". She has always sought to restore the family as an institution and reestablish the foundation of family values. Reverend Dr. Allen enhances the life skills necessary to acquire and maintain independent and successful community living through her New Beginnings, a women's transitional house, and Valor, a men's transitional house; and
Whereas, In 1989, she joined in a ministry partnership with Pilgrim Assemblies International of Brooklyn, New York and is presently the Jurisdictional Presbyter of the state of Michigan, as well as, the Special Assistant to the presiding Prelate, the Honorable Archbishop Roy E. Brown. Her numerous community-based services include her Rhema Community Development Corporation and the Millennium Refuge; and
Whereas, Reverend Dr. Allen has many exciting and worthwhile programs ahead, including the fine books and instructional cassettes distributed by her own publishing company. Through those who have been blessed by these works, the entire community has been enriched; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Reverend Dr. Mable E. Allen on her birthday and pastoral anniversary. Our great state is blessed that she chose Michigan for her heavenly mission; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Reverend Dr. Mable E. Allen as a symbol of our esteem.

House Resolution No. 465.
A resolution honoring the life of Marsha Annette Rogers.
Whereas, The tragic death of Marsha Annette Rogers brings to a sudden and sad close an era of dedicated service to the young people of the city of Detroit. However, her proud and inspiring legacy lives on in the memories of students, coworkers, parents, family, and friends. We express our appreciation and respect for the life of this most devoted professional; and
Whereas, Marsha Annette Rogers was born to Mary Louise and the late Curtis Rogers. She was the caring sister of 12 siblings. Besides being a loving daughter and devoted sister, she was the proud mother of Ayanna Kinda; and
Whereas, Marsha Rogers inspired her siblings by becoming the first in the family to graduate from college at Oakland University in May of 1974 with a Bachelor of Science in education. She went on to get her Master of Arts in teaching in 1978 and encouraged and actually helped her siblings to attain college educations. Marsha Rogers taught history and civics, as well as, economics and social studies. Her caring commitment to the children and citizens of Detroit brought her much recognition and awards for her exemplary duty, service, and contributions. She was a perfect attendance honoree for many years; and
Whereas, In her 27 years as a teacher, Marsha Rogers followed the noble pursuit of educating young people, a tradition that always has been an important part of Michigan's heritage. In her work at Paul Robeson Academy, where she taught economics and social studies, and in her previous teaching roles at Bates Academy and in the Detroit Public School System beginning in 1974, she instilled life-long skills and helped build self-confidence in thousands of youngsters who have grown to adulthood as capable and upstanding citizens. Though the tools used by modern day teachers are far different than the slates and one-room schools of yesteryear, Marsha Rogers had much in common with teachers from our pioneer era who worked so hard to build the future of this state through its children; and
Whereas, Marsha Rogers was a teacher's assistant for the Detroit Academic Games Program at Bates Academy, and helped produce national award winning teams. As the dynamic debate coach of the Middle School Debate League, she produced award winning teams at Bates Academy and Paul Robeson Academy. In addition, she was the teacher coordinator of the national award winning chess team at Paul Robeson Academy. Her contributions to her city did not stop at the schoolhouse door. She participated in many community and civic activities and was a member of the Fellowship Chapel United Church of Christ, where she served as a mentor for girls and was a parent volunteer for the Tots Assembly; and
Whereas, During Marsha Roger's years in the classroom many changes occurred in our society that affected the learning process. Her ability to meet the challenge and cope with a changing world required not only skill, but a deep sense of emotional concern as well. We thank Marsha for passing this legacy on to our rising generations. Sadly, this dedication and hard work was untimely ended when, on July 10, 2001, Marsha Annette Rogers was struck down by a car, along with her dear friend and fellow teacher, Terri George Mills-Ossman; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor the life of Marsha Annette Rogers; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the family of Marsha Annette Rogers as a token of our respect for her fine work.

House Resolution No. 466.
A resolution honoring the life of Terri George Mills-Ossman.
Whereas, The tragic death of Terri George Mills-Ossman brings to a sudden and sad close an era of dedicated service to the young people of the city of Detroit. However, her proud and inspiring legacy lives on in the memories of students, coworkers, parents, family, and friends. We express appreciation and respect for this most devoted professional; and
Whereas, Terri George Mills-Ossman was born to the late George and Bessie Mills on September 20, 1952, and was the youngest of three sisters. She developed an interest in reading and a love for learning. Terri made many friends and was respected by teachers at Pingree Elementary School, Joy Middle School, and Finney High School. She received her Bachelor of Science in Sociology and a Masters of Education at Wayne State University. Her dedication to, and enthusiasm for, learning, touched the lives of her many students and encouraged them to be readers and life-long learners; and
Whereas, Terri George Mills-Ossman married her beloved Nito DeWitt Ossman on October 24, 1981. She was the proud mother of two sons, Khari Rashard and Chad Ryan. Her loving memory will be cherished, not only by her husband and sons, but by her two sisters, Myra Perry and Maxine Mills; her three nieces, Tracy, Cristal, and Andrea Perry; her great-nephew, Christopher Ackerman; her great-niece, Micah Perry; her mother-in-law, Cora Ossman; her brother-in-law, Timothy Ossman, and many other family members and friends; and
Whereas, Terri George Mills-Ossman was also a long-standing member of the Hartford Memorial Baptist Church in Detroit and rededicated her life to Christ on June 23, 1996; and
Whereas, In her 24 years as a teacher, Terri George Mills-Ossman followed the noble pursuit of educating young people, a tradition that always has been an important part of Michigan's heritage. In her work as a reading specialist at Spain Elementary, and in her previous teaching roles at Harris Elementary, Duffield Elementary, Bates Academy, Chrysler Elementary, Stark Elementary, and in the Detroit Public School System beginning in 1977, she instilled life-long skills and helped build self-confidence in thousands of youngsters who have grown to adulthood as capable and outstanding citizens. Though the tools used by modern day teachers are far different than the slates and one-room schools of yesteryear, Terri George Mills-Ossman had much in common with teachers from our pioneer era who worked so hard to build the future of this state through its children; and
Whereas, During Terri George Mills-Ossman's years in the classroom, many changes occurred in our society that affected the learning process. Her ability to meet the challenge and cope with a changing world required not only skill, but a deep sense of emotional concern as well. The kindness, compassion, and patience which were a part of her nature stood her in good stead in this profession. We thank Terri for passing this legacy on to our rising generations. Sadly, this dedication and hard work was untimely ended when, on July 10, 2001, Terri George Mills-Ossman was struck down by a car, along with her dear friend and fellow teacher, Marsha Annette Rogers; now, therefore, be it

______
Rep. Callahan, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted against HB 4823 to protect public health and avoid increased insurance and health care costs to be paid for by the general public. Numerous peer-reviewed studies consistently report that mandatory helmet use reduces fatality rates, severe brain injury rates, and hospital costs related to motorcycle injuries. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that an unhelmeted motorcyclist is 40 percent more likely to incur a fatal head injury and 15 percent more likely to incur a non-fatal head injury than a helmeted motorcyclist involved in a crash. A General Accounting Office review of the effects of motorcycle helmet use found that unhelmeted riders are more likely to need ambulance service, be admitted to hospitals as an inpatient, have higher hospital charges, need neurosurgery or intensive care, need rehabilitation, and be permanently impaired and need long-term care. In a time of inflationary health-care costs, we simply should not be adding fuel to the fire.
Although a vocal minority has advocated for the right to ride a motorcycle without a helmet, public opinion polls consistently demonstrate public support for common sense and maintaining the prohibition against riding a motorcycle without a helmet."
