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:

In February, the governor announced that she has instructed the DNR to certify the state's forests to both SFI and FSC standards. There simply is no reason for this legislation.

Some of the provisions in this bill are not flexible enough and actually may hinder the state in the certification process.

The industry is arguing that the state should only use one certification system, preferably SFI which is the industry standard. There is precedent for seeking dual certification. Maine and Maryland currently have dual certified land. Wisconsin is in the process of dually certifying 490,000 acres of public forest. The director of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is also seeking to dually certify that state's approximately 4 million acres of state forest land.

The Forest Products Council keeps saying that there is a timber surplus in the state and that we only harvest 40 percent of annual growth. However, they have been using old data that only tells part of the story."

______

Reps. Hopgood, Law, Zelenko and Waters, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted 'No' on House Bill 4652 because this bill duplicates current law that prohibits the sale of any portion of an embryo, fetus, or neonate. In addition, this bill seeks to define 'elective abortion' in statute that could have unforeseen consequences on a woman's health care choices. The bill also restricts the ability for hospitals or other health care facilities from transferring tissue for disposal. If a hospital needed to send fetal tissue for testing, the entity that provides the transfer could be in violation of this act. This bill creates further bureaucratic restrictions when current law already provides protections against the sale of embryo, fetal or neonate tissues or any other part."

Rep. Anderson, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of

Motions and Resolutions

By unanimous consent the House considered House Resolution No. 257 out of numerical order.

Rep. Julian offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 257.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to implement a 36 percent federal wagering tax on gross receipts at Native American casinos and to redistribute the revenues to the states of origin.

Whereas, Fairness in taxation is a key to effective public policy and to fostering the faith and trust that are vital to the strength of our system of self-government. Inconsistency in the application of laws, including those assessing taxes, is frustrating to individual citizens, business enterprises of all types and sizes, and local and state governments; and

Whereas, An area of business activity where laws and taxes are applied inconsistently is gaming. The sovereignty of Native American tribes has resulted in a host of different arrangements, even among tribal facilities. There is even greater disparity between the operations of non-Native American gaming facilities and Native American casinos; and

Whereas, While the states, including Michigan, have a very limited capacity to rectify the differences in the treatment of non-Native American and Native American gaming operations, including taxation, the federal government could bring a needed measure of fairness to this situation; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to implement a 36 percent federal wagering tax on gross receipts at Native American casinos and to redistribute the revenues to the states of origin; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

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.

Rep. Bieda, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted against passage of HR 257 and HCR 57 because the resolutions, as written, are technically flawed. Indian (or Native American) reservations are treated as sovereign nations, and the resolutions do not address, nor are they sensitive to the issue of Native American Sovereignty. Thus, as I did not agree with the wording of both identical resolutions, I voted no on HR 257 and HCR 57."

Whereas, Public works infrastructure, facilities, and services are of vital importance to the health, safety, and well-being of the people of the state of Michigan; and

Whereas, Such facilities and services could not be provided without the dedicated efforts of public works professionals, engineers, and administrators, representing state and local units of government, who are responsible for and must design, build, operate, and maintain the transportation, water supply, sewage, and refuse disposal systems, public buildings, and other structures and facilities essential to serve our citizens; and

Whereas, It is in the public interest for the citizens and civic leaders of the country to gain knowledge of and to maintain a progressive interest in the public works needs and programs of their respective communities; now, therefore, be it

House Resolution No. 255.

A resolution proclaiming Sunday, May 23, 2004, as NAMI Walks Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Every journey begins with that first step, the state of Michigan will take a step in the right direction in regards to our citizens mental health. In May 2004, thousands of concerned citizens in more than 35 communities across the nation will join NAMI, the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill in their Campaign for the Mind of America and walk together to raise money and awareness about our country's need for a world-class treatment and recovery system for people with mental illness. The state of Michigan will support their efforts on Sunday, May, 23, 2004, on Belle Isle in Detroit for NAMI Walks Day; and

House Resolution No. 256.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact the Children's Vision Improvement and Learning Readiness Act.

Whereas, For most children in our country, vision screening efforts at school are the first step in the effort to identify young people with problems with their sight. This effort does help many families. However, there is little doubt that the screenings in many situations are not nearly as effective as they could be in promoting good vision; and

Whereas, Studies indicate that a large number, between 40 and 67 percent, of students who are recommended, as a result of vision screening, to visit an eye doctor do not do so. Another disturbing fact reflected in studies is that vision screenings are not always consistently reliable in identifying children with potentially serious eye conditions. Sometimes, "passing" a vision screening can give families a false sense of security, when further tests clearly would be in order; and

Whereas, There is legislation pending in Congress that could bring major advances to the vision of our nation's children. The Children's Vision Improvement and Learning Readiness Act, H.R. 2173, would provide states and local governments with funding to increase the number of children who receive eye examinations and the number of serious conditions that are treated; and

Whereas, With the role that vision plays in the learning process and the costs to individuals and our society, encouraging better vision care for children is a most appropriate step for our country to take; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact the Children's Vision Improvement and Learning Readiness Act; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Health Policy.
