Rev. Jeremiah Ketchum, Senior Pastor of Brown Corners Church in Clare, offered the following invocation:

“Our God in heaven, we come before You today humbly recognizing You as sovereign Lord and creator of all things. We rejoice to know that You hear and care deeply for everyone in this room.

Thank You for the men and women who have given and sacrificed so much to serve the people of their districts. Strengthen them as they carry the privilege and responsibility for making laws and decisions that chart the course for our state.

Thank You that we can live in such an amazing country that allows us such tremendous freedoms.

Grant wisdom to those here, as they balance their workload with personal and family commitments. Enable them to prioritize the work that needs to be done.

Grant that these men and women would see what love and justice and far-seeing wisdom demand in regard to the issues of education, business and industry, health care, marriage and family, abortion, welfare, energy, government and taxes, military, terrorism, international relations, and every other challenge that our state will face in the years to come.

May the great state of Michigan be known as a place where people revere and honor You, where Your commandments are treasured, and all life is regarded as precious.

May You receive glory for what’s done in this building today and in the days to come.

More than anything, we are grateful for Your precious Son, Jesus Christ, Who gave His life as a ransom for many upon the cross.”

Motions and Resolutions

By unanimous consent the House considered House Resolution No. 221 out of numerical order.

The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 221.

A resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for Daisy Elliott, former member of the House of Representatives.

Whereas, It is with great sadness that the members of this legislative body learned of the passing of Daisy Elliott. She will be remembered for her commitment to equal rights and making Michigan a better place for all of its residents, including her constituents in Detroit for whom she tirelessly advocated; and

Whereas, Even before her election to the House of Representatives in 1962, Daisy Elliott fought to improve the lives of Michigan residents. After working in factories, real estate, and with the secretary of state, she was elected as a delegate to the 1961-1962 constitutional convention. While serving as a delegate, Daisy Elliott championed the establishment of the Civil Rights Commission and an appellate court in the state constitution; and

Whereas, During her 18 years in the House of Representatives, Daisy Elliott sponsored dozens of bills that became law and was known for her dogged efforts to fight discrimination in the state. Her crowning achievement was co-authorship of the landmark civil rights act which bears her name, the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act of 1976. It was one of the most sweeping and influential policies of its kind in the entire nation; and

Whereas, Daisy Elliott was known for her leadership abilities and political acumen and earned numerous awards for public service during her lifetime. She was instrumental in the creation of the Legislative Black Caucus and provided a voice for her constituents on numerous committees during her time in the House of Representatives, most notably the Colleges and Universities, Constitutional Revision and Women’s Rights, Education, and Labor committees; and

Whereas, Daisy Elliott was a remarkable public servant who worked relentlessly for the betterment of the state and advocated strongly on behalf of workers, senior citizens, women, and minorities who sought equal treatment in Michigan. Upon her passing, we offer our condolences to her family and friends. We hope that they may find comfort in the knowledge that the community as a whole shares in their bereavement, and that the legacy of Daisy Elliott’s contributions will continue to enhance our state long into the future; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Daisy Elliott, a member of this legislative body from 1963 to 1978 and 1981 to 1982; and be it further

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

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.

Reps. Callton, LaVoy and Pagan offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 219.

A resolution to declare February 2016 as Self-Care Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Self-care is a lifelong daily habit of healthy lifestyle choices, good hygiene practices, prevention of infection and illness, avoiding unhealthy choices, monitoring for signs and symptoms of changes in health, knowing when to consult a healthcare practitioner and knowing when it is appropriate to self-treat conditions; and

Whereas, The United States Food and Drug Administration deems OTC medicines safe and effective for the self-care treatment of minor acute and chronic health conditions and symptoms such as pain, the common cold, allergies, and other conditions that impact large segments of the population; and

Whereas, Over-the-counter medicines are either developed as new nonprescription medicines or switched from existing prescription medicines; and

Whereas, Over-the-counter nonprescription medicines are self-care products that consumers purchase in pharmacies, supermarkets, retail stores, and online; and

Whereas, Every dollar spent on over-the-counter medicines saves the United States healthcare system $6-7 dollars each year totaling $102 billion in annual savings; and

Whereas, Nonprescription medicines help to ease the burden on healthcare practitioners, eliminating unnecessary medical examinations that could be avoided with appropriate self-care; and

Whereas, Michigan benefits when its citizens practice appropriate self-care, do not unnecessarily visit healthcare practitioners, and are empowered by higher self-esteem, improved health, and reduced use of health care services; and

Whereas, Michigan encourages its citizens to take advantage of self-care’s potential to improve personal and public health, save personal and public treasury, and strengthen the sustainability of the Michigan’s health care system; and

Whereas, Achieving self-care’s potential is a shared opportunity for consumers, healthcare practitioners, policymakers, and regulators; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 2016 as Self-Care Month in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That we recognize the importance of improving awareness of self-care and the value it represents to the people of the state of Michigan, support increased consumer empowerment through the development of new nonprescription medicines and the appropriate switch of certain prescription medicines to nonprescription, acknowledge that over-the-counter medicines can greatly improve and reduce costs to the public health system, and encourage consumers, healthcare practitioners, policymakers, and regulators to communicate the benefits of self-care.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Aaron Miller and LaVoy offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 220.

A resolution to urge the President and Congress of the United States to abandon President Carter’s April 1977 nuclear power policy and explore and support policies that will lead to the establishment of facilities within the United States for the reprocessing and recycling of spent nuclear fuel.

Whereas, On April 7, 1977, President Carter delivered a statement on nuclear power policy in which he announced that the United States would indefinitely defer the commercial reprocessing and recycling of spent nuclear waste produced at nuclear power plants in the country. President Carter’s statement announced an end to federal funding and encouragement for an under construction reprocessing facility in South Carolina, stating that the nuclear power program was sustainable without reprocessing and recycling; and

Whereas, The federal Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 called for the United States Department of Energy to begin collecting spent nuclear waste and develop a long-term plan for storage of the material. In 2002, Congress approved Yucca Mountain in Nevada as the location to allow the Department of Energy to establish a safe repository for high-level spent nuclear waste; and

Whereas, In 2010, the Department of Energy halted the project at Yucca Mountain when the construction authorization process was in progress, despite the Nuclear Waste Fund receiving more than $30 billion in revenue from electric customers throughout the United States in order to construct the facility and store the spent fuel; and

Whereas, The Argonne National Laboratory has developed a high-temperature method of recycling spent nuclear waste into fuel, known as pyrochemical processing. This process allows 100 times more of the energy in uranium ore to be used to produce electricity compared to current commercial reactors; and

Whereas, Extending the productive life of uranium ore through pyrochemical processing ensures almost inexhaustible supplies of low-cost uranium resources for the generation of electricity, minimizes the risk that used fuel could be stolen and used to produce weapons, and reduces the amount of nuclear waste and the time it must be isolated by almost 1,000 times; and

Whereas, Advanced non-light water reactors currently under development in the United States and internationally have the potential to utilize used fuel from existing reactors as fuel, but according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, there are no reprocessing facilities currently operating within the United States; and

Whereas, The federal government’s inability to adequately store or reprocess almost 100,000 tons of spent nuclear fuel has adversely affected the residents of the state of Michigan. Michigan has paid more than $800 million into the Nuclear Waste Fund since 1983, but the federal government has failed to use it to permanently store nuclear waste in a way that serves the public; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the President and Congress of the United States to abandon President Carter’s April 1977 nuclear power policy and explore and support policies that will lead to the establishment of facilities within the United States for the reprocessing and recycling of spent nuclear fuel; 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 resolution was referred to the Committee on Energy Policy.

The Speaker called the Speaker Pro Tempore to the Chair.
