The House agreed to the title as amended.

The bill was referred to the Clerk for enrollment printing and presentation to the Governor.

Rep. Law, having reserved the right to explain her nay vote, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on final passage of House Bill 5244 because this bill could potentially take significant revenue from local communities at the same time our local communities are already facing drastic cuts in revenue sharing and other funding sources. Although I support manufacturing in Michigan, I believe the Legislature should not continue to undermine local sources of revenue, which jeopardizes important local services such as police and fire protection, public works, and local road improvements."

The motion prevailed.

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Voorhees, Adamini, Brandenburg, Caswell, Caul, DeRossett, Farhat, Hummel, Meyer, Nofs, Richardville, Shaffer, Spade, Stahl, Taub, Vander Veen, Acciavatti, Gillard, Gleason, Hager, Hoogendyk, Howell, Huizenga, Ruth Johnson, Koetje, Kooiman, Middaugh, Murphy, Newell, Palmer, Pappageorge, Rocca, Sak, Sheen, Shulman and Stewart offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 199.

A resolution recognizing February 7-14 as Marriage Week USA.

Whereas, Marriage, one of our most fundamental institutions, strengthens our society when two people enter into a mutual lifelong agreement to support each other in sickness, difficult financial times, and old age; and

Whereas, Marriage enriches the couple, their children, and the community around them by providing opportunities to extend love, support, and the understanding of a mutual cooperation; and

Whereas, Couples and children blessed with healthy marriages tend to engage in less risky behavior, enjoy better physical and mental health, be more financially secure, and attain higher levels of education and employment; and

Whereas, President George W. Bush has announced a Healthy Marriage Initiative to highlight programs teaching marriage skills and education, to promote marriage mentoring and enrichment programs, to reduce disincentives to marriage, and to promote the value of marriage to our culture; and

Whereas, Because the President launched the Healthy Marriage Initiative, the Michigan House of Representatives and the Michigan Senate appropriated $750,000 to fund a marriage initiative in Michigan; and

Whereas, Marriage is both a personal and private relationship and a public commitment licensed by the state of Michigan; and

Whereas, Many of the expenditures by the state are closely tied to people harmed by failed or never formed marriages and any long-term strategy for reducing dependency on state social services and ensuring economic growth must include a strategy for encouraging healthy marriages; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize February 7-14 as Marriage Week USA; and be it further

Resolved, To call upon elected officials at every level and citizens of all walks of life to determine during Marriage Week USA, and particularly on Valentine's Day, to consider ways that they can strengthen their own marriages and support the marriages of others throughout the state of Michigan and across the country.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Richardville 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.

Reps. Steil, Pappageorge, Moolenaar, Casperson, Amos, Shaffer, Robertson, Kooiman, Palmer, Hoogendyk, Vander Veen, Shackleton, Milosch, Sheen, Stahl, Wenke, Hummel, Newell, Emmons, Middaugh, DeRoche, LaJoy, Caswell, Van Regenmorter, Stakoe, Hager, Pumford, Stewart, Bradstreet, Huizenga, Caul, Rocca, Meyer, Nofs, Daniels, Brandenburg, DeRossett, Pastor, Taub, Voorhees, Acciavatti, Gleason, Ruth Johnson, Koetje, Murphy, Sak, Sheltrown and Stallworth offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 200.

A resolution to urge the Federal Communications Commission to develop and enforce stronger measures to restrict indecency in radio and television broadcasting.

Whereas, Over the past few years, the number and nature of incidents of radio and television broadcasts that seem far beyond any acceptable standard of decency has increased significantly. Recently, an incident during the 2003 Golden Globes awards program on television has served to focus attention on this problem. The issue, however, involves much more than any isolated event or use of a single word; and

Whereas, During recent hearings in the Congress of the United States and actions taken by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Washington policymakers cited a long list of very offensive situations broadcast over television or radio. Some of the individual occurrences, many of which have resulted in fines, are remarkable in the level of crudity and offensiveness. They are, however, very believable to anyone who has channel surfed with a young child nearby or anyone who knows of the "shock jock" mentality that seems pervasive on some radio stations; and

Whereas, Whatever the reason, whether cable programming or other factors, the amount of sexual and violent content broadcast over the airwaves has caused many people to call for action. It is also becoming clear to many observers that identifying what is indecent cannot be achieved solely through banning specific words or phrases. Often, it seems that some radio personalities and television shows seem to do all they can to go as far as they can with material that is presented only for its shock value. Intent and innuendo, in language and visual images, must be considered as well; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Federal Communications Commission to develop and enforce stronger measures to restrict indecency in radio and television broadcasting; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Federal Communications Commission.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Energy and Technology.

Reps. Pappageorge, Adamini, Brandenburg, Caul, Clack, DeRossett, Farhat, Meyer, Nofs, Plakas, Richardville, Shaffer, Spade, Stahl, Taub, Vander Veen, Voorhees, Gillard, Gleason, Hager, Howell, Huizenga, Jamnick, Ruth Johnson, Koetje, Kooiman, Middaugh, Murphy, Newell, Palmer, Rocca, Sak, Sheltrown, Shulman, Stallworth, Stewart and Zelenko offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 201.

A resolution commemorating March 2004 as Ethnic and Cultural Heritage Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The culture of the people of the State of Michigan has continually been renewed and enriched by the many different people who have chosen to come to Michigan, become citizens and call this state their home for many decades; and

Whereas, Each individual brings with them a part of his or her own heritage and over time each heritage becomes part of our common heritage, leading us to become more united people; and

Whereas, Michigan is fortunate to count among its population a large numbers of citizens of numerous descents who, together, make important contributions to our economy and society through their commitment to numerous professions, commerce, family and the arts; and

Whereas, We must foster an interest in the heritage, culture and history of all peoples and pass that understanding and knowledge on to the next generation, awakening an awareness in every American community of the quality of contributions that all types of ethnicities can bring to our modern American lifestyle as we realize that we are all Americans together; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate March 2004 as Ethnic and Cultural Heritage Month in the state of Michigan.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Richardville 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.
