“We ask You, Lord, to help us serve You, serve Your people, those who have elected us to this position from both sides of the aisle, and even those who are silent in the day of our election. We ask You to see their needs through both eyes, democrats and republicans, because Lord, give the presence of our peace to every boy and girl, man and woman, young and old, they are all Your children.
Finally, make us appreciate all the good gifts that You have given us, and give us the courage to see how we can serve those who don’t have, all over the world. Amen.”

House Resolution No. 85.
A resolution to declare May 14, 2015, as Chaldean American Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Approximately 130,000 Chaldeans reside in Michigan, the largest population outside of the Middle East; and
Whereas, The Chaldean population began immigrating to America during the 1920’s for better economic, religious, and political freedom, bringing with them a strong work ethic which continues to positively add to the growth of Michigan through the establishment of 15,000 Chaldean-owned businesses throughout the state; and
Whereas, The Chaldean community has undoubtedly proven their diligent business skills and entrepreneurial spirit with nearly sixty-one percent of Chaldean American households owning at least one business and thirty-nine percent owning two or more as well as an estimated nine out of ten food stores in Detroit; and
Whereas, The Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce currently has 878 members, representing more than thirty-five hundred businesses with goals of building community ties, ensuring membership value and advocacy for the benefit of Chaldean people; and
Whereas, The Chaldean Community Foundation has promoted steady population growth by providing services to the newly arrived Iraqi Chaldean refugees in efforts to help refugees become contributing members to Michigan through assistance with housing, job placement, language development, social and government program directives; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 14, 2015, as Chaldean American Day in the state of Michigan. We acknowledge the contributions of this innovative and entrepreneurial community as an important part of Michigan’s diverse history; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be sent to the Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce as evidence of our highest esteem.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Speaker Cotter offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 86.
A resolution to establish a special committee on Roads and Economic Development.
Whereas, The people of the state of Michigan deserve an equitable, long-term solution to fix our crumbling roads and infrastructure that should be delivered by the State Legislature to improve the safety of the roadways for Michigan’s hard-working taxpayers and their families and protect citizens’ livelihoods today and in years to come; and
Whereas, A swift, sensible, and reliable resolution to the state’s road-funding challenges will provide greater economic opportunities and improved transportation safety for the citizens and families of this great state of Michigan; and
Whereas, The House of Representatives will focus their efforts to develop a lasting solution to resolve the state’s decades old road-funding crisis in order to provide better roads, dependable infrastructure, and improved safety for the people of Michigan and visitors to our state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That there be created a special committee on Roads and Economic Development to review and recommend legislation to focus on a solution to our crumbling infrastructure. The special committee on Roads and Economic Development shall consist of 7 members appointed in the same manner as standing committees of the House are appointed.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.

Rep. Moss moved to substitute (H-2) the resolution as follows:
Substitute for House Concurrent Resolution No. 11.
A concurrent resolution urging the United States Supreme Court to continue its critical role in protecting citizens’ rights under the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and urging the states to express support for the Fourteenth Amendment.
Whereas, Our country was founded on the fundamental principle that everyone has the unalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In order to protect these rights from abuse, Congress proposed and the states ratified the Bill of Rights as amendments to the United States Constitution; and
Whereas, The weaknesses in our Constitution’s protection of the fundamental and unalienable rights of its people culminated in the deep divides and bitter conflicts of the Civil War. To correct these weaknesses and begin the healing of our nation, Congress and the states adopted three amendments to the Constitution, including the Fourteenth Amendment; and
Whereas, The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution states in part:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
; and
Whereas, The Fourteenth Amendment has played a critical role in protecting the rights of United States citizens from state and local governments that might otherwise infringe upon those rights. Among other things, the Due Process Clause has ensured that all citizens enjoy the freedom of speech under the First Amendment; are protected against illegal searches and seizures under the Fourth Amendment; have the right to legal counsel despite their means under the Sixth Amendment; and are protected against the infliction of cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment; and
Whereas, The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment was a central force in the civil rights movement as a shield against discriminatory state laws. In the historic Brown v. Board of Education, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that state laws providing for segregated public schools based on race were unconstitutional. In Loving v. Virginia, the U.S. Supreme Court found state laws that prohibited interracial marriage unconstitutional. Both of these landmark rulings were based on the protections of the Fourteenth Amendment; and
Whereas, The Fourteenth Amendment continues to ensure that citizens in every state share the same rights under our Constitution and receive equal treatment from their government; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we urge the United States Supreme Court to continue its critical role in protecting citizens’ rights under the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge the states to express support for the Fourteenth Amendment and the assurances it provides for life, liberty, or property and equal protection for citizens; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Justices of the United States Supreme Court, the President of the United States, 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 legislatures of the forty-nine states.
The motion did not prevail and the substitute (H-2) was not adopted, a majority of the members serving not voting therefor.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.

Rep. Nesbitt moved that House Committees be given leave to meet during the balance of today’s session.
The motion prevailed.
