Rep. Dian Slavens, from the 21st District, offered the following invocation:

“‘A Prayer for the Children by Ina J. Hughes:

We pray for the children

who put chocolate fingers everywhere,

who like to be tickled,

who stomp in puddles and ruin their new pants,

who sneak Popsicles before supper,

who erase holes in math workbooks,

who can never find their shoes.

And we pray for those

who stare at photographers from behind barbed wire,

who’ve never squeaked across the floor in new sneakers,

who never had crayons to count,

who are born in places we wouldn’t be caught dead,

who never go to the circus,

who live in an X-rated world.

We pray for children

who bring us sticky kisses and fistfuls of dandelions,

who sleep with the dog and bury goldfish,

who give hugs in a hurry and forget their lunch money,

who cover themselves with Band-Aids and sing off-key,

who squeeze toothpaste all over the sink,

who slurp their soup.

And we pray for those

who never get dessert,

who watch their parents watch them die,

who have no safe blanket to drag behind,

who can’t find any bread to steal,

who don’t have any rooms to clean up,

whose pictures aren’t on anybody’s dresser,

whose monsters are real.

We pray for children

who spend all their allowance before Tuesday,

who throw tantrums in the grocery store and pick at their food,

who like ghost stories,

who shove dirty clothes under the bed,

who never rinse out the tub,

who gets visits from the tooth fairy,

who don’t like to be kissed in front of the school,

who squirm in church or temple or mosque

and scream in the phone,

whose tears we sometimes laugh at and

whose smiles can make us cry.

And we pray for those

whose nightmares come in the daytime,

who will eat anything,

who aren’t spoiled by anybody,

who go to bed hungry and cry themselves to sleep,

who live and move, but have no being.

We pray for children who want to be carried,

and for those who must.

For those we never give up on,

and for those who never get a chance.

For those we smother with our love,

and for those who will grab the hand of anybody

kind enough to offer it. Amen.’”

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Brinks, Darany, LaVoy, Knezek, Faris, Yanez, Switalski, Driskell, Lamonte, Kivela, Zemke, Irwin, Dianda, Townsend, Phelps, Schor, Abed, Cochran, Banks, McCann, Slavens, Segal, Brown, Stanley, Geiss, Hovey-Wright, Haugh, Lipton, Robinson, Santana, Singh, Hooker, Dillon, Outman, VerHeulen, Goike, Clemente, Kandrevas, Nathan, Barnett, Durhal, Howrylak and Roberts offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 391.

A resolution to declare July 11, 2014, as Srebrenica Remembrance Day and July 11-17, 2014, as Bosnia and Herzegovina Tribute Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Both the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives passed resolutions in 2005 acknowledging the genocide that the Serbian forces perpetrated in Srebrenica and all of Bosnia from 1992-1995; and

Whereas, Both the Michigan House of Representatives and the Michigan Senate have passed Srebrenica Remembrance Day and Bosnia and Herzegovina Tribute Week resolutions every year since 2009; and

Whereas, July 11, 2014, is commemorated as the 19th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide in which at least 8,372 innocent Bosniak civilians were summarily executed and 30,000 were expelled from their homes in the worst atrocity in Europe since the Holocaust; and

Whereas, This anniversary, together with this year’s 22nd anniversary since the beginning of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, raises awareness of the tragic suffering of the Bosnian people and honors and remembers over 100,000 civilians who died as a result of the policies of ethnic cleansing and aggression in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the period of 1992-1995; and

Whereas, The Congress of North American Bosniaks (CNAB), the umbrella organization representing Bosniaks in the United States and Canada requested this resolution; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan recognizes the importance of this event to bring closure for the Bosnian people through justice and truth; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare July 11, 2014, as Srebrenica Remembrance Day and July 11-17, 2014, as Bosnia and Herzegovina Tribute Week in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That we call upon all citizens to work toward ending the cycle of violence and promoting peaceful coexistence among all.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. LaVoy, LaFontaine, Pettalia, Kivela, Geiss, Brunner, Stanley, Dillon, Knezek, Darany, Brinks, Abed, McCann, Kandrevas, Clemente, Potvin, Hovey-Wright, Dianda, Cochran, Driskell, Yanez, Heise, Lamonte, Switalski, Cavanagh, Smiley, Phelps, Segal, Brown, Slavens, Singh, Zemke, Robinson, Kosowski, Irwin, Banks, Barnett, Lane, Faris, Roberts, Oakes, Haugh, Durhal, Talabi, Stallworth, Hobbs, Townsend, Schor, Schmidt, Kowall, Olumba, Kurtz, Daley, Lyons, Pscholka, Nesbitt, Tlaib, Rutledge, Outman, McBroom, Pagel, Price, Crawford, Foster, Santana, Greimel, Denby, Howrylak and Kelly offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 392.

A resolution to declare September 29-October 5, 2014, as French-Canadian Heritage Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, French exploration in the Great Lakes region began with Étienne Brûlé in the early 17th century; and

Whereas, During the subsequent century, Sault Ste. Marie, Michilimackinac, Détroit, St. Joseph, Monroe, St. Ignace, and other settlements formed the first French-Canadian communities west of Montreal; and

Whereas, Communities such as Cheboygan, Muskegon, Alpena, Saginaw, Houghton, and Marquette saw a flourishing of French-Canadian culture during the 19th century lumbering era; and

Whereas, Today Michigan’s trade, tourism, and cultural ties to Canada, particularly to Ontario and Quebec, are a continuing and vital part of the French-Canadian story; and

Whereas Today, over 150,000 Michigan residents claim French-Canadian heritage; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 29-October 5, 2014, as French-Canadian Heritage week in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That members of the House of Representatives join all of those of French-Canadian ancestry in celebrating their heritage and contributions to the state of Michigan on October 3, 2014.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Rep. Stamas moved that consideration of the resolution be postponed for the day.

The motion prevailed.

Reps. Lyons, Barnett, Brown, Crawford, Darany, Denby, Durhal, Faris, Heise, Howrylak, Kelly, Lamonte, LaVoy, Poleski, Price, Roberts and Stanley offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 393.

A resolution to commemorate President Gerald R. Ford and the invaluable impact of his service to the United States of America in honor of the 40th anniversary of his presidency.

Whereas, After the “long, national nightmare” of the Watergate scandal and President Nixon’s impeachment, Vice President Gerald R. Ford was sworn in as the 38th President of the United States on August 9, 1974; and

Whereas, His ascension to the presidency was the culmination of a career spent in service to the people of the state of Michigan and of the United States, including nearly 25 years as the U.S. Representative from Michigan’s 5th congressional district and eight years as the Republican Minority Leader, where colleagues on both sides of the aisle praised his kindness and knowledge; and

Whereas, With his Midwestern values, inimitable work ethic, and offensive lineman’s ethos, it is indisputable that President Ford was, as former Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill noted, “the right man at the right time who was able to put our nation back together again,”; and

Whereas, With a combination of unwavering optimism, steadfast character, and candid leadership, President Ford immediately set about healing the nation during one of the darkest hours in its history, helping to restore integrity to the nation’s highest office and the “golden rule to our political process”; and

Whereas, President Ford’s tenure in office was marked by a number of noteworthy and memorable domestic achievements, including passage of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act, the Privacy Act of 1974, the Energy Policy Conservation Act, and the Government in Sunshine Act, as well as an extension of the Voting Rights Act, amendments to the Federal Election Campaign Act, and the creation of the Economic Policy Board and the Consumer Products Safety Commission; and

Whereas, President Ford also took office during the height of the Cold War and amidst the ongoing conflict in Vietnam. During his time in office, America would pave the way for the Salt II Accord, evacuate more than 3,000 South Vietnamese children in Operation Babylift, end American involvement in Vietnam, sign the Helsinki Agreement, and help broker the Sinai Interim Agreement to end the Yom Kippur War; and

Whereas, While his term included a number of significant accomplishments in the realms of domestic and foreign policy, no act or undertaking has more defined his presidential tenure than the “full, free and absolute pardon” given to Richard Nixon on September 8, 1974. While politically unpopular and widely panned by critics and commentators, President Ford, a profoundly good and decent man, declared that he could not “rely upon public opinion polls to tell me what is right” and that his “conscience tells me clearly and certainly that I cannot prolong the bad dreams that continue to reopen a chapter that is closed”; and

Whereas, Gerald Ford and his running mate, Senator Robert Dole of Kansas, were defeated by Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter in the 1976 presidential election, bringing his 895-day term as President of the United States to a close on January 20, 1977; and

Whereas, Gerald Ford’s term as president will forever be remembered for exemplifying the integrity, decency, and devotion to duty that President Ford himself embodied and for sacrificing political expediencies for the dictates of conscience and the greater good of the nation; and

Whereas, This nation will forever remember the son of Michigan who took the helm of a ship in crisis, steadying the rudder at a time of national division, distrust and decline, and safely guiding the nation towards a time of peace and prosperity; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate President Gerald R. Ford and the invaluable impact of his service to the United States of America in honor of the 40th anniversary of his presidency.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Abed, Schor, Cochran, Slavens, Hovey-Wright, Stanley, Brown, Dillon, Robinson, Irwin, Haugh, Roberts, Durhal, Brinks, Lamonte, Driskell, Barnett, Darany, Faris, LaVoy and Singh offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 394.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation that would prohibit credit inquiries from impacting credit scores.

Whereas, A person’s credit score significantly impacts their financial lives. It influences the ability for a person to obtain adequate housing, transportation, and revolving lines of credit at reasonable interest rates; and

Whereas, Lowered credit scores—that occur because the person is shopping for the best line of credit—needlessly jeopardize a person’s ability to secure needed financing and unnecessarily increase their interest rates. Simply inquiring about a line of credit should not adversely affect one’s credit score; and now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation that would prohibit credit inquiries from impacting credit scores; 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 Financial Services.

Reps. McMillin, Kelly, Somerville, Victory, Pettalia, Genetski, MacMaster and Shirkey offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 395.

A resolution to urge the Congress of the United States to direct the Comptroller General to complete a full audit of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the federal reserve banks.

Whereas, Created more than a hundred years ago, the Federal Reserve is an independent federal agency. As leaders of the central bank of the United States, the Federal Reserve’s board of governors have enacted monetary policy that influences our nation’s money and credit conditions, supervised and regulated banks and other financial institutions, and provided financial services to the U.S. and foreign governments. Through these powers, and with the help of the federal reserve banks, this agency has considerable influence on the well-being of our nation’s economy, the economy of the world, and the day-to-day lives of people everywhere; and

Whereas, American citizens have entrusted the Congress of the United States with overseeing all federal agencies, and Congress must hold the Federal Reserve accountable. However, under the current law, the Comptroller General may audit the Federal Reserve only if written consent has been given, and even then, the purview of audits of the board of governors and federal reserve banks is limited. Under the direction of the Comptroller General, any General Accountability Office audit is prohibited by law from auditing the board or federal reserve banks’ transaction history with foreign nations or information related to monetary policy decisions, including discount window operations, open market operations, securities credit, and interest on deposits; and

Whereas, The American public should receive the accountability and transparency they deserve from their government. Providing the Comptroller General the authority and directive to thoroughly audit the Federal Reserve will allow for better oversight and lift the cloak of secrecy off this highly-profitable and influential government institution. Congress must take the actions necessary to fulfill its oversight responsibility; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Congress of the United States to direct the Comptroller General to complete a full audit of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the federal reserve banks; 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 Financial Services.

Reps. Olumba, Abed, Banks, Barnett, Bolger, Brinks, Brown, Brunner, Bumstead, Callton, Cavanagh, Clemente, Cochran, Cotter, Crawford, Daley, Darany, Denby, Dianda, Dillon, Driskell, Durhal, Faris, Farrington, Forlini, Foster, Franz, Geiss, Genetski, Glardon, Goike, Graves, Greimel, Haines, Haugh, Haveman, Heise, Hobbs, Hooker, Hovey-Wright, Howrylak, Jacobsen, Jenkins, Johnson, Kandrevas, Kelly, Kesto, Kivela, Knezek, Kosowski, Kowall, Kurtz, LaFontaine, Lamonte, Lane, Lauwers, LaVoy, Leonard, Lipton, Lori, Lund, Lyons, MacGregor, MacMaster, McBroom, McCann, McCready, McMillin, Muxlow, Nesbitt, O’Brien, Oakes, Outman, Pagel, Pettalia, Poleski, Potvin, Price, Pscholka, Rendon, Roberts, Robinson, Rogers, Rutledge, Santana, Schmidt, Schor, Segal, Shirkey, Singh, Slavens, Smiley, Somerville, Stallworth, Stamas, Stanley, Switalski, Talabi, Tlaib, Townsend, VerHeulen, Victory, Walsh, Yanez, Yonker, Zemke and Zorn offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 396.

A resolution to condemn Boko Haram for its violent attacks on civilian targets and support efforts by the President and the Congress of the United States to assist the Nigerian government in the safe return of the abducted women and girls in Nigeria, to prevent further attacks, and to promote the human rights of women and girls in Nigeria.

Whereas, Boko Haram is an acknowledged militant, terrorist organization. Since 2011, it has claimed responsibility for a series of bombings, killing nearly 4,000 innocent people in Nigeria. It has targeted schools, mosques, churches, villages, agricultural centers, and government facilities in its escalating armed campaign to create an Islamic state in northern Nigeria; and

Whereas, On April 14, Boko Haram abducted at gunpoint 276 teenage girls from the Government Girls Secondary School in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. While at least 53 girls immediately escaped, the remaining girls remain missing. Boko Haram has a history of kidnapping girls in the past for use as cooks and sex slaves, and there are reports that the abducted girls have been sold as brides to Islamist militants for the equivalent of $12 each; and

Whereas, In support of the Nigerian government, the United States dispatched drones over Nigeria to search for the abducted girls and deployed 80 soldiers to guard the drone base in nearby Chad. Other nations have also pledged support to help safely bring back the abducted girls. Despite these cooperative efforts, the abducted girls remain missing, and on June 9, Boko Haram abducted at least 20 additional women and girls from a village just miles from the earlier incident; and

Whereas, Boko Haram’s increasingly bold attacks must be countered by a strong initiative to recover the abducted women and girls and prevent future attacks. This extremist group represents a growing threat to peace and stability in this region and to the United States’ interests in this region. There are legitimate fears that Boko Haram may be emboldened to carry out attacks against Western targets, such as the U.S. Embassy and hotels frequented by Westerners; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we condemn Boko Haram for its violent attacks on civilian targets in Nigeria and call for the immediate, safe return of the women and girls abducted by them; and be it further

Resolved, That we express strong support for the people of Nigeria, especially the parents and families of the abducted women and girls, and encourage the Nigerian government to strengthen efforts that protect children seeking to obtain an education and to hold those who conduct violent acts against them accountable; and be it further

Resolved, That we support offers of United States assistance to the Nigerian government in the search for the abducted women and girls and encourage the U.S. Department of State and the United States Agency for International Development to continue support for initiatives that promote the human rights of women and girls in Nigeria; and be it further

Resolved, That we support our nation’s efforts to hold terrorist organizations, such as Boko Haram, accountable and urge the President of the United States to provide a comprehensive strategy to counter the growing threat posed by radical Islamist terrorist groups in West Africa, the Sahel, and North Africa; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, 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 question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Messages from the Senate

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 18.

A concurrent resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for Connie Berube Binsfeld, former Lieutenant Governor and member of the Senate and House of Representatives.

Whereas, The members and staff of the Michigan Legislature were saddened to learn of the passing of Connie Berube Binsfeld. For nearly 25 years, she served as a leader in Michigan government, the first and only woman to hold leadership posts in the House, Senate, and executive branch. Kind, hardworking, thoughtful, but also tough when she needed to be, she will be remembered not only for her manner, but her remarkable achievements; and

Whereas, A native of Munising, Connie Binsfeld earned her bachelor’s degree and a teaching certificate from Siena Heights College in Adrian and engaged in graduate studies at Wayne State University while she lived in the Detroit area. In 1947, she married John Binsfeld and raised five children with him. She was named Michigan Mother of the Year in 1977. An active community member in the Grand Traverse area, she served two terms as a Leelanau County commissioner prior to her election to the House of Representatives in 1974; and

Whereas, For the next 16 years, Connie Binsfeld represented with pride her northwest Michigan home in the House and the Senate. For eight of those years, she served as assistant minority leader in the House and assistant majority leader in the Senate. She was a champion for women, children, and the environment during her tenure. Notably, she sponsored legislation that would safeguard Michigan’s sand dunes, provide funding for environmental cleanups, and protect women from domestic violence. She would serve as chair of a number of appropriations subcommittees. In 1990, she was elected Lieutenant Governor; and

Whereas, As Lieutenant Governor, Connie Binsfeld continued to fight for the issues in which she believed, leading the Commission on Adoption and then the Binsfeld Children’s Commission that led to numerous reforms of Michigan’s child welfare system. In addition, she served 10 years on the Great Lakes Commission representing Michigan’s interests and helped to establish the Chance at Childhood Foundation. As president of the Senate, she will be remembered for the gentle, but firm, manner as she presided over Senate proceedings. In 1998, she was inducted into the Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame; and

Whereas, Connie Binsfeld’s achievements are a reflection of her deep dedication to the state of Michigan and its people and her generous spirit. Her legacy will live on long after we have stopped mourning her passing; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Connie Berube Binsfeld, a member of the House of Representatives from 1975 to 1982, a member of the Senate from 1983 to 1990, and Lieutenant Governor and president of the Senate from 1991 to 1998; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Binsfeld family as evidence of our lasting esteem for her memory.

The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.

The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,
