"Namaste. The divine in me recognizes the divine in you. We invite You, the Lord of spiritual faith. You are the wisest among the wise, the best to be given as a standard of comparison. You are the senior Lord, Lord of the Vedic manthras, listening to our prayers. Please visit our home and this gathering of the Michigan House of Representatives and bless the State of Michigan with prosperous things and be seated here.
Salutations to You, who are competent to strike all around in diverse ways. Salutations to You, who manifests as hosts of energy, gentle and violent. Salutations to You, who runs after sense pleasures and their chiefs. Salutations to You, who are present in diverse groups and their leaders.
Salutation to You, who are in the form of attendants of the noble ones. Salutations to You, who are formless and yet manifest in universal forms. Salutations to You, who are in the form of those who ride chariots and those who do not. Salutations to You, who are in the form of chariots and chariot-owners.
Salutations to You, who are in the form of armies and army chieftains. Salutations to You, who are in the form of trained charioteers and those who learn chariot driving. Salutations to You, who are in the form of carpenters and chariot makers. Salutations to You, who are in the form of fowlers and fishermen.
Salutations to You, who are in the form of those artisans who make bows and arrows. Salutations to You, who are in the form of hunters. Salutations to You, who are in the form of hounds and their keepers.
Universal Prayer; God is perfect (infinite). This Universe is also perfect (infinite). If perfection (infinity) is taken from anything perfect (infinite) what remains is still perfect (infinite). Let there be peace, peace, peace.
May there be peace in heaven. May there be peace in the sky. May there be peace on earth. May there be peace in the water. May there be peace in the plants. May there be peace in the trees. May there be peace in the Gods. May there be peace in Brahman (Universal Spirit). May the be peace in all. May that peace, real peace, be mine."

IN RE 2002 PA 48
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES'
REQUEST FOR AN ADVISORY OPINION
On order of the Court, the request by the House of Representatives for an advisory opinion on the constitutionality of 2002 PA 48 is considered and it is GRANTED.
The questions to be considered are:
1. Whether the Metropolitan Extension Telecommunications Rights-of-Way Oversight Authority may constitutionally require a permit, under Section 5 of 2002 PA 48, and assess an annual maintenance fee, under Section 8 of 2002 PA 48, on all telecommunications providers in Michigan, including those providers that assert pre-existing franchise rights under 1883 PA 129.
2. Whether the Metropolitan Extension Telecommunications Rights-of-Way Oversight Authority, as established and empowered under Section 3 of 2002 PA 48, is duly constituted as a metropolitan authority under Article VII, Section 27 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963.
3. Whether the creation of an authority under Article VII, Section 27 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 possessing the powers and duties provided for in 2002 PA 48 is a constitutional exercise of the Legislature's powers consistent with Article VII, Section 29 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963.
4. Whether the annual maintenance fee required to be paid by telecommunications providers under the provisions of 2002 PA 48 to recover the costs and in consideration of the right to use public rights-of-way constitutes a valid fee that is not prohibited from being imposed without voter approval by Article IX, Section 31 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963.
Persons or groups interested in the determination of these questions may file briefs amicus curiae. We specifically invite the Attorney General of the State of Michigan and the Metropolitan Extension Telecommunications Rights-of-Way Oversight Authority to file briefs on these questions.
Briefs amicus curiae that advocate negative answers to one or more of the questions must be filed by June 28, 2002.
Briefs amicus curiae that advocate affirmative answers to one or more of the questions must be filed by July 26, 2002.

Each device shall be sufficiently marked or identified or a sign shall be placed at the approach to the crossing indicating that the crossing is monitored by an unmanned traffic monitoring device.
(2) Beginning 31 days after the installation of an unmanned traffic monitoring device at a railroad grade crossing described in subsection (1), a person is responsible for a civil infraction as provided in section 667 if the person violates a provision of that section on the basis of evidence obtained from an unmanned traffic monitoring device.

Any photographs, microphotographs, videotape, or other recorded images indicating such a violation shall be available for inspection in any proceeding to adjudicate the responsibility for a violation of section 667. Any photographs, videotape, or digital images evidencing such a violation shall be destroyed 90 days after final disposition of the citation.
(4) In a prosecution for a violation of section 667 established by an unmanned traffic monitoring device under this section, prima facie evidence that the vehicle described in the citation issued was operated in violation of section 667, together with proof that the defendant was at the time of the violation the registered owner of the vehicle, shall constitute in evidence a rebuttable presumption that the registered owner of the vehicle was the person who committed the violation.

The presumption also may be IS rebutted if a certified copy of a police report, showing that the vehicle had been reported to the police as stolen before the time of the alleged violation of this section, is presented before the appearance date established on the citation. For purposes of this subsection, the owner of a leased or rental vehicle shall provide the name and address of the person to whom the vehicle was leased or rented at the time of the violation.
(5) Notwithstanding section 742, a citation for a violation of section 667 on the basis of evidence obtained from an unmanned traffic monitoring device may be executed by mailing by first-class mail a copy to the address of the owner of the vehicle as shown on the records of the secretary of state. If the summoned person fails to appear on the date of return set out in the citation previously mailed by first-class mail pursuant to this subsection, a copy shall be sent by certified mail-return receipt requested. If the summoned person fails to appear on either of the dates of return set out in the copies of the citation mailed pursuant to this section, the citation shall be executed in the manner provided by law for personal service. The court may issue a warrant for the arrest of a person who fails to appear within the time limit established on the citation if a sworn complaint is filed with the court for that purpose. as required for other civil infractions under section 744.
(6) If there is a fatality at a railroad grade crossing in a city, VILLAGE, OR TOWNSHIP with population of 60,000 or more, OR IN A COUNTY WITH A POPULATION 150,000 OR MORE, the state transportation department shall undertake a diagnostic review, IF THERE HAS NOT BEEN A DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW AT THE CROSSING IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. HOWEVER, A DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW IS NOT REQUIRED IF THE INITIAL INVESTIGATION OF THE FATALITY INDICATES THAT CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL OR A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE CONTRIBUTED TO THE FATALITY OR THAT THE FATALITY WAS A SUICIDE. The diagnostic review shall be scheduled within 120 days. If the diagnostic review confirms that warning devices such as flashing lights and gates are needed, the state transportation department shall order such improvements. The cost for the improvements shall be financed consistent with the financing of similar projects by the state transportation department according to its annual prioritization of grade crossing safety improvements.".

Motions and Resolutions
Rep. Hart offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 468.
A resolution to direct the Department of Education and the Family Independence Agency to convene a task force to develop quality after-school programs for all Michigan children.
Whereas, Current studies about what happens to unsupervised children indicate that, when left alone, these children have higher absentee rates at school; have lower academic test scores; exhibit higher levels of fear, stress, nightmares, loneliness, and boredom; are 1.7 times more likely to use alcohol; and are 1.6 times more likely to smoke cigarettes; and
Whereas, Recent data shows that in communities around this state, the violent juvenile crime rate soars in the hours immediately after the school bell rings, and children are most likely to be victims of a violent crime committed by a non-family member between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.; and
Whereas, Research indicates that children who attend high quality after-school programs have better peer relations, emotional adjustment, conflict resolution skills, grades, and conduct in school compared to their peers who are not in after-school programs; and
Whereas, Children who attend after-school programs spend more time in learning opportunities, academic activities, and enrichment activities and spend less time watching television than their peers; and
Whereas, In one study, children who attended an after-school program missed fewer days of school, had better homework completion rates, better school behavior, and higher test scores; and
Whereas, Polls show that 92% of Americans believe there should be organized activities for children and teens during after-school hours; and
Whereas, As working parents can attest, child care concerns are not over once children are old enough to go to school. A parent who is employed full time can be away from home an average of 2,400 hours a year. Children spend less than half of that time in school. If their children participate in a quality school-age care program or another organized out-of-school time activity, parents can rest easy because they know that their children are safe and supervised; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we direct the Department of Education and the Family Independence Agency to convene and co-chair a task force, to be known as the Michigan After-school Initiative, to develop a plan to ensure quality after-school programs for every school-age child in the state. The Michigan After-school Initiative shall be comprised of other related state agencies and private organizations representing violence prevention organizations, parents, park districts, special needs populations, private foundations, civic and cultural organizations, community-based youth service providers, law enforcement, education, local voluntary organizations, faith-based communities, health, evaluation, and research institutions, child and youth advocacy groups, alcohol, tobacco, and substance abuse prevention professionals, and mental health interests; and be it further
Resolved, That the activities of the Michigan After-school Initiative shall include (i) an assessment of the state of after-school services in this state, including identification of the number of children and youth served statewide in after-school programs, identification of the number and location of children and youth who are in need of after-school programs, and identification of the various funding streams currently supporting after-school programs, and (ii) the development of a plan for coordinating after-school services and for achieving a goal of providing after-school services for every school-age child in this state; and be it further
Resolved, That the Michigan After-school Initiative plan shall include strategies for this state to promote best-practice models for after-school programs and to promote coordination and collaboration of after-school services at the local level; and be it further
Resolved, That the Michigan After-school Initiative shall engage children and youth in development of the plan; and be it further
Resolved, That the Michigan After-school Initiative shall review and report to the Legislature on model programs operating in this state and other states and that the review shall look at program components identified as best-practices and based on proven research; and be it further
Resolved, That the Department of Education and the Family Independence Agency shall report to the Governor and Legislature on the Michigan After-school Initiative plan and submit recommendations by December 15, 2002; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Department of Education and the Family Independence Agency.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Family and Children Services.

House Resolution No. 469.
A resolution honoring Dr. Robert C. Hahn upon the occasion of his retirement as Superintendent of the Davison Community School District.
Whereas, With deep appreciation for the diversity of talents that must come together for educational excellence to be possible, we honor Dr. Robert C. Hahn upon the occasion of his retirement. As Dr. Hahn brings to a close his service as superintendent, we add our voice of thanks to the teachers, students, and parents throughout the Davison Community School District; and
Whereas, Anyone who has spent time around the process of education can attest that there are fewer endeavors more complex than education. The old African adage, "It takes a whole village to raise a child," also applies to educating one, even in this age of computers and the Internet. Teachers, administrators, building personnel, lunch aides, bus drivers, learning assistants, and specialists all have important roles to play in helping young people become motivated and productive students. Each of these people, in turn, serves to complement the work started at home by parents and family; and
Whereas, Dr. Robert Hahn has dedicated his last 33 years to the students of Genesee County. He began his educational career in 1969 as a teacher at Kearsley Community Schools. Within 5 years, he was named an assistant principal of the school district. In 1976, Linden Schools selected Dr. Hahn as its middle school principal before promoting him to superintendent in 1985. He began his career in Davison in 1989, serving 2 years as an assistant superintendent before becoming superintendent in 1991; and
Whereas, In his work as Superintendent of the Davison Community School District over the past 11 years, Dr. Robert C. Hahn was one of many with the challenging task of building and maintaining a quality educational system in a time of great change and uncertainties. Under Dr. Hahn's leadership, Davison Community Schools upgraded its technology to become one of the most comprehensive local-area networks among Genesee County's 21 school districts. The district built an intermediate school, which is named after Dr. Hahn. They also built state-of-the-art library additions to four of its elementary schools; and
Whereas, The Davison Community Schools, under Dr. Hahn's leadership, excelled in their MEAP scores. Recently, Standard and Poor's rated the district's performance-cost index as one of the best in Michigan; and
Whereas, With his heartfelt concern for young people and the realization of the importance of learning in our swiftly changing world, Dr. Hahn has helped countless students and strengthened our state and its future; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Dr. Robert C. Hahn upon the occasion of his retirement as Superintendent of the Davison Community School District. May his retirement be filled with health and happiness, as well as the thrill of new "grandfatherhood"; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Dr. Robert C. Hahn as a token of our esteem.
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.
The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
