Pastor Craig T. Owens, Pastor of Calvary Assembly of God in Cedar Springs, offered the following invocation:

“Almighty God,

Your Word, the Bible, tells us that ‘the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone He wishes’ [Daniel 4:25]. And that ‘there is no authority except that which God has established’ [Romans 13:1]. This is why the Apostle Paul said, ‘I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone ... for all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good and pleases God our Savior’ [1 Timothy 2:1-3].

Heavenly Father, the issues before this body of elected representatives today are not unknown to You. Neither are the House members who will be discussing these issues unknown to You. You have established both the authority and the persons of authority in this great chamber today.

Therefore, it is well and good, and pleasing to You, that I humbly ask for wisdom for Your servants. You have told us that wisdom will be ‘given generously’ to all who ask You for it [James 1:5]. And that by Your wisdom officials ‘rule wisely’ [Proverbs 8:15]. Give these members of the House such wisdom to deliberate and to decide in a fashion that pleases Your righteousness and Your justice.

In the Name of Your Son Jesus I pray. Amen.”

Rep. Rutledge moved that Reps. Driskell and Lipton be excused from today’s session.

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Hovey-Wright, Abed, Brown, Singh, Zemke, Santana, Robinson, Switalski, Lamonte, Geiss, Smiley, Brunner, Rutledge, Cotter, Slavens, Lauwers, Kurtz, Schmidt, Denby, Jacobsen, Price, LaVoy, Pettalia, Barnett, Durhal and Roberts offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 331.

A resolution to declare March 2014 as Social Work Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The primary mission of the social work profession is to enhance human well being and help meet the basic needs of all people, especially the most vulnerable in society; and

Whereas, Social work pioneers helped lead America’s struggle for social justice; and

Whereas, Social workers know that poverty and trauma can create lifelong social and economic disadvantages; and

Whereas, Social workers know that discrimination of any kind limits human potential and must be eliminated; and

Whereas, Social workers stand up for individuals and support diverse families in every community; and

Whereas, Social workers help people in every stage of life function better in their environments, improve their relationships with others, and solve personal and family problems; and

Whereas, All children have the right to safe environments and quality education; and

Whereas, Dignity and caregiving for older adults help define a nation’s character; and

Whereas, Veterans and their families need community support to ensure successful transitions after service; and

Whereas, Access to mental health treatment and health care services saves millions of lives; and

Whereas, Social workers are change agents who put the ideals of citizenship into action every day; and

Whereas, Social workers believe in shared prosperity and opportunity for everyone; and

Whereas, Social work research and advocacy turn community needs into national priorities; and

Whereas, Social workers celebrate the courage, hope, and strength of the human spirit throughout their careers; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2014 as Social Work Month in the state of Michigan. We recognize the numerous contributions made by our social workers and call upon all citizens to celebrate and support the social work profession.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Daley, Barnett, Brown, Cotter, Durhal, Heise, Howrylak, Kelly, LaVoy, Poleski, Price, Roberts and Slavens offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 332.

A resolution to declare March 2014 as Myeloma Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Multiple myeloma, the second most common blood cancer worldwide, is a cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow. It is called “multiple” because the cancer can occur at multiple sites; and

Whereas, Multiple myeloma currently affects more than 100,000 people in the United States with an estimated 20,000 new cases diagnosed and 10,000 losing their battle each year; and

Whereas, Once a disease of the elderly, it is now being found in increasing numbers in people under 65; and

Whereas, Because myeloma is a rare disease, there can be delayed diagnosis, leading to delayed treatment. For this reason, an increased awareness of myeloma for clinicians and the general public will lead to earlier diagnosis allowing people to live longer; and

Whereas, Continued investment and innovation is critical to achieve early diagnosis and implement the most effective and safest treatments for myeloma patients; and

Whereas, Although we have seen important advances in the last decade, there is still no cure for myeloma; and

Whereas, We are committed to increasing awareness of myeloma and encouraging private efforts to enhance research funding and education programs; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2014 as Myeloma Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We encourage all residents to participate in voluntary activities to support myeloma education and the funding of research programs to find a cure.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Stallworth, Talabi, Durhal, Hobbs, Smiley, LaVoy, Cochran, Dianda, Driskell, Dillon, Tlaib, Switalski, Banks, Townsend, Irwin, Singh, Olumba, Zemke, Oakes, Barnett and LaVoy offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 333.

A resolution to urge the federal and state administrations to use an expanded best value contracting model in the city of Detroit for certain projects, and generally, for road and bridge repair projects and blight removal within the city.

Whereas, Best value contracting practices are used by procurement teams to help select the contract offering the best value-for-dollar. Rather than relying on price alone in awarding contracts, the best value contract model takes into account other factors such as the quality and benefits of the proposal, quality of the performance metrics and evaluation method, risks associated with the proposal, the applicant’s management approach and controls, and the applicant’s management team. It also takes into account the past performance of the contractor as well as their past experiences. Procurement agents can vary the weight of these factors to help select the most ideal contractor for the project at hand; and

Whereas, The best value contract model can be expanded to maximize the positive impact of a project on local economies and communities while emphasizing that construction work be minimally invasive to the lives of local residents. This enhanced procurement model can include additional weights for qualify of life plans, local economic development, and local job expansion. Quality of life plans may include air quality monitoring and pollution mitigation plans, ambient plans, construction noise monitoring and mitigation plans, construction traffic and mobility monitoring plans, congestion mitigation plans, and limiting construction damage plans. Local economic development and job expansion weights may include whether contractors will rely on local supply chains, local contractors, and local skilled workers as well as whether they intend to deploy local non-skilled workforce development programs and workplace safety plans; and

Whereas, Several infrastructure projects with significant local, regional, and international implications are currently being proposed and undertaken within the city of Detroit. Projects like the New International Bridge Crossing, Continental Rail Gateway, International Port, Woodward Avenue M-1 Streetcar, and the city’s new sports arena—as well as other road and bridge repair projects and blight removal—are reshaping the city, modernizing the city’s infrastructure, and growing the local economy. Procurement agents should take into account quality of life plans, local economic development, and local job expansion benefits when awarding project contracts so that these projects can provide maximum benefit for the citizens of Detroit; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the federal and state administrations to use an expanded best value contracting model in the city of Detroit for project proposals related to the New International Bridge Crossing, Continental Rail Gateway, International Port, Woodward Avenue M-1 Streetcar, the city’s new sports arena, and generally, for road and bridge repair projects and blight removal within the city; 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, Governor of the State of Michigan, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.

Reps. Stallworth, Smiley, Faris, Brunner, Lamonte, Schor, Geiss, Kandrevas, Haines, Pettalia, LaVoy, Cavanagh, Stanley, Barnett, Brown, Durhal and Slavens offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 334.

A resolution to encourage Congress to enact legislation advocating for increased Hepatitis C virus awareness and testing of baby boomers.

Whereas, Hepatitis C is a contagious liver disease that affects millions of Americans. It results from infection with the Hepatitis C virus (HCV), which is spread primarily through contact with the blood of an infected person. People infected with HCV often have no symptoms and can live for decades without feeling sick. For some people, the disease can cause serious health problems including liver damage, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer. Hepatitis C is a leading cause of liver cancer, the leading reason for liver transplants, and causes thousands of deaths each year; and

Whereas, Adults born from 1945-1965, or baby boomers, are five times more likely to be infected with HCV than persons in other age groups. Treatments are available that can eliminate the virus from a person’s blood before it causes liver damage, but the majority of infected baby boomers are unaware they are infected, so they are not getting treated. Tragically, infected individuals often do not learn they carry HCV until it has caused significant liver damage; and

Whereas, Baby boomers make up the majority of chronic hepatitis C cases reported to the Michigan Disease Surveillance System. There were 8,005 cases of chronic hepatitis C reported in Michigan in 2012 for a rate of 81.0 cases per 100,000 people. But, case follow up and completion of epidemiological risk factors was completed for only 30% of these cases; and

Whereas, The current risk-based screening for HCV has been ineffective in identifying latent HCV infections in baby boomers. But recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that all baby boomers be tested for HCV. The test can be completed anytime blood is drawn; laboratories check to see if the HCV antibody is present in the sample of blood. Those who test positive can receive follow up tests and information about treatment; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we encourage Congress to enact legislation advocating for increased Hepatitis C virus awareness and testing of baby boomers; 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, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and the Director of the Michigan Department of Community Health.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Health Policy.

Reps. Barnett, Abed, Banks, Brinks, Brown, Brunner, Cochran, Cotter, Darany, Dillon, Durhal, Faris, Goike, Greimel, Haines, Heise, Irwin, Kandrevas, Kesto, Knezek, Kosowski, Kowall, Lamonte, Lane, McCann, Nathan, Outman, Pettalia, Potvin, Rendon, Roberts, Rutledge, Santana, Schmidt, Schor, Segal, Singh, Slavens, Smiley, Stallworth, Switalski, Tlaib, Townsend, VerHeulen and Zemke offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 335.

A resolution to declare March 24-31, 2014, as Workplace Safety Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, specializing in female blouses, employed over 500 immigrant workers and experienced a widespread, gruesome factory fire on March 25, 1911, where 146 workers perished; and

Whereas, A majority of the workers who perished in this fire were female immigrants, sometimes not older than 13 to 14 years old, who lived under immense poverty, received inadequate wages, and were forced to work long hours and six-day weeks; and

Whereas, The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory showed severe disregard for safety standards, as business owners were not legally mandated by either the federal or state government to implement safety procedures to protect employees in the workplace; and

Whereas, The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory allowed unsafe working conditions in its factory setting for employees who used sewing machines in cramped spaces with cotton pieces covering the floor that helped to spread the fire, as well as failed to repair building features, including three broken elevators and jammed doors preventing entry and exit; and

Whereas, The public shock and outrage following the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire catalyzed immense social pressure to protect workers on the job, including adopting eight-hour work weeks, establishing minimum wages, child labor laws, periodic factory inspections, among other appeals; and

Whereas, The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire sparked outrage and discussion on reform throughout Michigan as evident from the 1912 Michigan Conference of Charities and Corrections where residents addressed labor issues, including child labor and raising the minimum work age in Michigan that has continuously been reevaluated since the 1880s as to whether Michigan children should acquire employment instead of attending school; and

Whereas, The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire encouraged Michigan to address labor issues centered around improving the “common welfare” for Michigan residents and Michigan made progress adopting labor reforms including Michigan Governor Chase S. Osborn’s signing of the Michigan Workmen’s Compensation Act in 1912, which provided compensation to injured workers for the first time in Michigan’s history; and

Whereas, The Triangle Shirtwaist Company tragedy led to new federal safety guidelines becoming implemented that ensured business owners provided safe working environments for their employees in order to minimize work injury and death; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That members of this legislative body declare March 24-31, 2014, as Workplace Safety Week in the state of Michigan. We recognize the 103rd anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Company Fire in New York City, commemorate the victims of this horrific incident, and continue to dedicate state efforts towards guaranteeing Michigan law protects workers from workplace accidents. Michigan continues to be committed to protecting workers and ensuring businesses established in Michigan adopt and maintain safety procedures in the workplace.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Rep. Barnett moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:

House Resolution No. 335.

The motion prevailed and the substitute (H-1) was adopted, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Knezek, Irwin, Schor and Switalski offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 26.

A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to support investment in low-income and rural communities by extending and expanding the New Markets Tax Credit Program.

Whereas, Established by the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000, the New Market Tax Credit (NMTC) Program seeks to encourage new or more substantial business or real estate investments in low-income and rural communities. In exchange for providing capital support in these communities, investors making equity investments into specialized financial institutions, referred to as Community Development Entities, may obtain a credit valued up to 39 percent of their original investment, claimed over a span of seven years, on their federal income tax return. Community Development Entities use these investments to provide loans, investments, and financial counseling to area businesses and real estate projects; and

Whereas, The NMTC Program has proven it can attract private capital to economically disadvantaged communities, create jobs, generate new business opportunities, and improve local economies. Since 2003, the NMTC has spurred $60 billion in capital investments and created 550,000 jobs in low-income and rural communities. The capital infused by these projects has been used to resurrect manufacturing facilities, reopen vacant commercial spaces, and revitalize neighborhoods. The NMTC creates jobs in areas that need them the most and increases property taxes for cash-strapped local governments. Moreover, it has produced an efficient investment-to-credit ratio. The federal NMTC generates $8 in private investments for every $1 provided in federal credits; and

Whereas, Despite the unquestioned benefit on our hardest hit communities, the NMTC was allowed to expire in 2013. Low-income and rural communities need this credit program restored to help in their ongoing effort to rebuild and revitalize their communities. In addition, legislation like S. 1133 of 2013 that permanently affixes the credit to the Internal Revenue Code and sets the maximum credit limit to be annually adjusted for inflation will provide a boost to our communities for years to come. Congress should take the actions necessary to restore this program and expand the credit; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to support investment in low-income and rural communities by extending and expanding the New Markets Tax Credit Program; 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 concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Tax Policy.

The question being on agreeing to the title of the bill,

Rep. Stamas moved to amend the title to read as follows:

A bill to amend 1893 PA 206, entitled “The general property tax act,” by amending section 7cc (MCL 211.7cc), as amended by 2014 PA 40.

The motion prevailed.

The House agreed to the title as amended.

Rep. Stamas moved that the bill be given immediate effect.

The motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor.

Rep. Poleski, 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:

From what I have heard from the proponents of HB 4135, the biggest concern is with getting purchasers of the foreclosed properties to qualify for financing. The higher tax under a non-PRE millage causes problems with qualification. The escrow payment is higher than it would have been if the property had continued to enjoy the PRE.

So, if the problem is with getting the new homestead purchaser to enjoy the PRE, we should focus on getting the PRE in place as soon as the property is sold to someone who qualifies.

In the meantime, while the property is held by a person or entity who does not use the property as their Principal Residence, the Principal Residence Exemption should not apply. It is difficult enough for local assessors to administer PREs; adding exemptions is not a wise course of action, from both an administrative and a revenue-management perspective.

Thank you for this opportunity to explain my No vote on this bill.”

Rep. Howrylak, 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 this bill because it creates distortions and inequities in the property tax system in the State of Michigan. Homes that are not otherwise owner-occupied are required to pay the 18 mill tax. This bill, by selectively removing that tax obligation for foreclosed property, effectively rewards and encourages foreclosures and removes a much needed funding source from public education in the State of Michigan.”

Rep. Zorn, 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:

Although HB4135 is good public policy, I am concerned as to the potential loss of revenue to public schools. I would favor holding schools financially harmless.”

Rep. Tlaib offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 336.

A resolution to express support for the equal rights protection of individuals with autism spectrum disorder and for the efforts to improve awareness and understanding of autism.

Whereas, Growing numbers of children and adults are affected with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This neurological disability can impact a person in various social, communication and behavioral ways that may have a detrimental impact on the development of social skills and behavior; and

Whereas, A lack of understanding of the characteristics of ASD leads to misunderstanding and often marginalizing of a child or adult with this condition. The proliferating diagnosis of ASD has caused this disorder to be ranked by the advocacy organization Autism Speaks as the fastest growing serious developmental disability in the United States; and

Whereas, Numerous efforts to support individuals in Michigan have been made in recent years including legislation enacted in 2012 to require insurance coverage of autism therapy treatment both in the commercial market and in the Medicaid program. In the same year, the Michigan Autism Council was established by Executive Order to adopt and implement the Michigan Autism Spectrum Disorder State Plan; and

Whereas, While we applaud the strides made thus far, we must continue efforts to support the protection of equal rights and to provide greater assistance for people with ASD and their families; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we express support for the protection of equal rights for individuals with autism spectrum disorder and the efforts to improve awareness and understanding of autism; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Department of Community Health and the Michigan Autism Council.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 7.

A concurrent resolution to support Taiwan’s efforts to secure entry into the Trans-Pacific Partnership, promote bilateral investment and trade relations with the United States, and participate in the International Civil Aviation Organization.

Whereas, The Republic of China (Taiwan), which marked its centennial in 2011 and entered into its second century as the world’s 19th-largest economy, has achieved economic and social stability, been lauded in the last two decades as a beacon of democracy for Asia, dramatically improved its record on human rights, and taken great steps forward to enter the world arena as a trusted partner; and

Whereas, Taiwan gained membership in the United States Visa Waiver Program. It is the 37th country to receive visa-free travel privileges to the United States and only the 5th Asian country with visa-free status, behind Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Brunei. As a result, more Taiwanese will travel to the United States, thus contributing to the national and local economies and strengthening bilateral ties with the individual states, including Michigan; and

Whereas, In 2011, Taiwan ranked as the United States’ 10th-largest trading partner in the world, serving as the United States’ 15th-largest export market overall. The value of total trade between Taiwan and Michigan in 2011 reached $778 million, an increase of 7.9 percent from the two-way trade value in 2010. This robust trade and our shared values of freedom and democracy greatly benefit both sides; and

Whereas, Taiwan’s economic, cultural, and educational ties with Michigan run deep. There are great opportunities for exports of Michigan-grown agricultural goods to Taiwan, the world’s 6th-largest market for U.S. agricultural products. There are also opportunities for further economic cooperation and technical exchanges in emerging sectors, such as high-speed rail transit, nanotechnology, health care, and photovoltaics and other renewable energy technologies. Hundreds of Taiwanese students enroll in Michigan colleges and universities every year; business, professional, legislative, and other delegations reciprocate visits regularly; and cultural, educational, and teacher exchanges continue to flourish, strengthening friendships and enhancing relations between Michigan and Taiwan; and

Whereas, Seeking greater regional integration in the Asia-Pacific region and promotion of bilateral investment and trade relations with the United States, Taiwan welcomed the opportunity presented by the United States’ announcement at the 2011 leaders meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation of its intent to not only join the Trans-Pacific Partnership—the proposed 21st-century trade agreement between the United States and eight other Asia-Pacific Rim countries—but to expand the membership in the future to include other countries, such as Taiwan; and

Whereas, Taiwan has taken great steps forward to enter the world arena as a trusted partner. For the last three years, Taiwan has participated as an observer in the World Health Assembly of the World Health Organization (WHO). In 2012, Taiwan celebrated its 20th anniversary of participation in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, of which the United States is a longtime and respected member; and

Whereas, Aviation safety has become a major global concern since 2001. Taiwan, a key transport hub in the Asia-Pacific region, has more than 1 million flights per year passing through the Taipei Flight Information Region and has one of the world’s largest airports by cargo volume, Taoyuan International Airport Taiwan. Yet Taiwan is not a member of the International Civil Aviation Organization, leaving a gap in the aviation security and navigation system; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we support Taiwan’s efforts to secure entry into the Trans-Pacific Partnership, along with the United States and other friendly Asia-Pacific Rim countries, promote bilateral investment and trade relations with the United States, and support the participation of Taiwan in the International Civil Aviation Organization; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the United States Secretary of State, Secretary General of the International Civil Aviation Organization, President of the Republic of China (Taiwan), and Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Chicago, Illinois.

The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.

Reps. Barnett, Durhal, Hooker, Howrylak, Kowall and Price were named co‑sponsors of the concurrent resolution.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Commerce.

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 8.

A concurrent resolution to invite the Republic of China (Taiwan) to enter into a sister-state relationship with the state of Michigan.
