Pastor David Culp, Pastor of First Church of God in St. Joseph, offered the following invocation:
“Heavenly Father we open up this session by inviting You to be with us. We acknowledge Father that You are the author of life. You are Sovereign in this world. As James confesses, ‘Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, Who does not change like shifting shadows.’
Thank You for the gifts of this life that we enjoy…Thank You for this great nation…Thank You for the State You bless us to be a part of…thank You for this room that is filled with individuals and political parties that are working for the common good of this great State. Father again we confess that every good and perfect give comes from You…
We confess God that we have a tendency even as we serve to be self serving but today I pray that You would give each member here the strength of will to put aside personal agendas and party agendas and instead to seek Your agenda…To seek and agenda that will serve the needs of the people of this great state. We again thank You for each member and ask You to help each member to remember the core principles that brought them here and to empower them to make decisions that will serve the people.
Finally, Gracious Father we would ask that You would grant wisdom to each member. Again James reminds us, ‘If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, Who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.’ We humbly acknowledge our need for Your wisdom. As deliberations take place today may You give wisdom that comes from You…that transcends our finite ability to reason. Grant wisdom that will again serve the best interests of Your people…the people of this great state.
Again Heavenly Father we thank You for those that have gathered here to serve Your people.”

The Speaker assumed the Chair.
Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Santana, LeBlanc and Slavens offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 237.
A resolution to urge the Governor to implement and fund the necessary programs to support his Special Message on Public Safety.
Whereas, Recent Federal Bureau of Investigation data ranks Flint, Detroit, Pontiac, and Saginaw as among the 10 most violent cities in the country. Governor Snyder recently observed that “murders alone in these four cities cost Michigan taxpayers more than $1,600,000.00”; and
Whereas, The Governor recently released a Special Message to the Legislature on public safety, promoting service consolidation and innovation among communities to emphasize local public safety. The Public Safety Initiative would appropriate additional funds to reduce crime in high-risk urban areas. The Governor concluded his special message with this statement: “For far too long, Michigan has turned a blind eye to the conditions of many of our cities and those who live there”; and
Whereas, It is most encouraging that Governor Snyder recognizes the serious problem facing our cities, state, and residents. Additionally, he notes that “One of the best crime prevention tools is a bright future for young people.” Sadly, his Special Message was weak on solutions that would provide constructive alternatives for our young people facing a long and hot Michigan summer; and
Whereas, Many Michigan cities are financially strapped and have run out of cash. They have drastically cut back on youth centers, parks, and recreation programs that were used to keep young people constructively occupied in decades past. The current unemployment rate for Detroit youth ages 16 to 19 is over 55 percent; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan currently has a budget surplus and a need to assist struggling cities with funding public safety measures. The Governor needs to expand and follow through on his public safety message, detailing the measures he will fund and implement to address the issues of gang violence in Detroit, to increase state police patrols throughout the struggling cities identified by the FBI data, to consider appointing a task force to coordinate efforts, and to increase local police initiatives; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Governor to implement and fund the necessary programs to support his Special Message on Public Safety; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Governor Snyder, the Senate Majority Leader, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
Reps. Hovey-Wright, Geiss, Brunner, Slavens, Howze, McCann, Bauer, Bledsoe, Stallworth, Brown, Darany, Lindberg, Byrum, Barnett, Segal, Townsend, Ananich, Smiley, Haugh, Lane, Stanley, Oakes, Stapleton, Rutledge, Greimel, Hobbs, Cavanagh, Nathan, Irwin, Dillon, Switalski, Kandrevas, Tlaib, Santana, Meadows, Hammel, LeBlanc, Durhal, Constan, Lipton, Liss and Jackson offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 238.
A resolution to urge the Michigan Board of State Canvassers to protect the rights of the people under the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 and certify the petition calling for a referendum on Public Act 4 of 2011.
Whereas, On March 16, 2011, Governor Snyder signed into law the Local Government and School District Fiscal Accountability Act (Public Act 4 of 2011). This act allows for the appointment of emergency managers with powers that challenge democracy in Michigan’s counties, cities, townships, villages, and school districts; and
Whereas, The expanded powers granted to emergency mangers eliminate accountability to the citizens of Michigan and fog the regular checks, balances, and transparency found in democracy; and
Whereas, The citizens of Michigan retained to themselves the right of referendum when they adopted the current state constitution. Article II, Section 9 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 provides for a public vote on any legislation, other than an appropriation, upon the filing of a petition with a sufficient number of signatures; and
Whereas, Public Act 4 of 2011 is not an appropriation act and is therefore properly the subject of a referendum; and
Whereas, A petition with more than 200,000 signatures, substantially more than required by the Michigan Constitution, has been filed with the Michigan Secretary of State’s Bureau of Elections demanding a vote of the people on this controversial legislation; and
Whereas, The signatures were submitted in a timely basis; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Michigan Board of State Canvassers to protect the rights of the people under the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 and certify the petition calling for a referendum on Public Act 4 of 2011 at the November 2012 election; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Michigan Board of State Canvassers.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
Reps. Lane, Barnett, Brown, Darany, Knollenberg, LeBlanc, Liss, Lori and Slavens offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 239.
A resolution to declare May 12, 2012, as Fibromyalgia Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Fibromyalgia is a complex chronic pain disorder that affects an estimated 10 million Americans and approximately 3 to 6 percent of the population worldwide; and
Whereas, While it occurs most often women, it strikes men and children and all ethnic backgrounds; and
Whereas, For those with severe symptoms, fibromyalgia can be extremely debilitating and interfere with basic daily activities; and
Whereas, Fibromyalgia often occurs following a physical trauma, such as an acute illness or injury, which may act as a trigger in the development of the disorder. Recent studies have suggested that afflicted patients have generalized disturbance in pain processing and an amplified response to stimuli that would not ordinarily be painful in healthy individuals; and
Whereas, There is no known cure for fibromyalgia. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and improving function. A variety of prescription medications are often used to reduce pain levels and improve sleep; and
Whereas, Spreading awareness of the symptoms of fibromyalgia can help put an end to the lack of understanding individuals face. Education and awareness of fibromyalgia will help to decrease the number of countless instances of mistreatment and misdiagnosis that patients encounter; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 12, 2012, as Fibromyalgia Awareness Day in state of Michigan. We encourage all citizens to help educate and support family, friends and neighbors who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia as an expression of support and compassion to fight this dreadful pain disorder. By increasing awareness of the risk factors and taking direct actions to reduce them, we can enable those who suffer from the disorder to live more peacefully; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the Governor of Michigan and director of the Department of Community Health.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.

I did not, have not, and do not support the gaveling on of immediate effect to SB29, SB30, SB93, and SB428. SB29, SB30, SB93, SB428.
