Pastor Tim Trommater, Pastor of First United Methodist Church of Jackson in Jackson, offered the following invocation:
“God of us all.
Today we gather in this place, each of us coming with our own background, with our own gifts and graces.
Yet, amidst our differences each of us here has been called to serve the people of this great state.
To serve those who profess faith equally as well as those who do not.
To serve every person under their purview, regardless of social economic status, recognizing the Imago Dei, the image of God, in each person and treating them with dignity and honor.
Give this body the wisdom and the discernment they need to lead in a way that honors You.
Guide them to take seriously the call that You have placed on their lives.
Be present in this assembly as the people You have called to lead, endeavor to lead honorably.
We lift this prayer to You, the God of us all.
Bless this assembly, in the name of the Father, the Creator of us all, and of the Son, our Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit, the sustainer of our lives.
Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Chang, Talabi, Garrett, Pagan, Smiley, Plawecki, Wittenberg, Callton, Kesto, Geiss, Love, Neeley, Canfield, Sarah Roberts, Townsend, Faris, Greig, Yanez, Chirkun, Cochran, Crawford, Heise, Hoadley, Hovey-Wright, Howrylak, LaVoy, Liberati, Maturen, Potvin, Price and Schor offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 302.
A resolution to declare May 2016 as Asthma Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Asthma is a long-term inflammatory disease in which the airways of the lungs constrict, causing wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing; and
Whereas, Asthma is an under-managed chronic disease in the state of Michigan, as evidenced by data on self-management behaviors and health care utilization. Asthma prevalence is 11% for children and 10.5% for adults in Michigan, which is higher than the national average. Asthma hospitalization is common, with 13,000 stays in Michigan in 2013; and
Whereas, The rate of asthma hospitalization in Detroit is three times higher than the state of Michigan as a whole and 24% of all asthma hospitalizations in Michigan residents occurred in residents of Detroit. The prevalence of current asthma among Detroit adults was 29% higher than in Michigan as a whole and the rate of asthma mortality in Detroit in 2011-2013 was 2.4 times higher than the Michigan rate. Detroit was named by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America as one of the five most challenging cities to live in with asthma last year; and
Whereas, Asthma is the leading cause of preventable hospitalizations for Michigan children and asthma is the leading chronic cause of school absenteeism in Michigan. Emergency department visits for Michigan children on Medicaid were 207.4 asthma visits per 10,000 children in 2012, significantly higher than national targets for this indicator; and
Whereas, Asthma is influenced by not just genetics, but also conditions in the home and air pollution. Short-term exposure to sulfur dioxide ranging from 5 minutes to 24 hours is linked to increased asthma symptoms and Michigan is currently designated by the Environmental Protection Agency as having a “non-attainment area” for meeting the national primary sulfur dioxide standard. Efforts to reduce air pollution from industrial sources and our roadways are critical in order to fully address asthma in our state; and
Whereas, Public health efforts should be should be directed to persons with asthma in Michigan to improve asthma control and prevent severe outcomes; and
Whereas, A national month dedicated to educating all Americans about comprehensive asthma management and to increase public understanding of asthma and how to manage it; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2016 as Asthma Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Rep. Chang moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:

Reps. Sarah Roberts, Greig, Yanez, Chirkun, Moss, Brinks, Canfield, Faris, Irwin, LaGrand, Pagan, Wittenberg, Chang, Cochran, Hoadley and Hovey-Wright offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 303.
A resolution to declare May 28, 2016, as Menstrual Hygiene Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Menstrual Hygiene Day serves to increase public awareness of the need to ensure women and girls are able to maintain healthy menstruation practices; and
Whereas, Menstrual Hygiene Day is also a new effort to destigmatize women’s menstrual cycles and advocate for better access to feminine hygiene products for females who may otherwise be forced to resort to less sanitary options; and
Whereas, Menstrual hygiene is a worldwide issue and an issue of equality and inclusion; and
Whereas, Women and girls around the world face different challenges in managing their menstruation depending on social norms, customs, geography, and education; and
Whereas, Taboos and negative social norms surrounding menstruation are perpetuated by society as a whole, therefore creating an inclusive conversation with women and girls as well as boys and men, is critical to create understanding and foster a supportive and healthy environment in menstrual health; and
Whereas, Women and girls miss out on education, work, and other opportunities in life when they are unable to manage their menstruation with normalcy and dignity; and
Whereas, Feminine hygiene products are a $2 billion industry in the United States, and on average a female will use 17,000 feminine hygiene products during her life; and
Whereas, Forty million women in the United States live in poverty and the cost of basic feminine hygiene products can be a financial burden, even more so for a family with women and girls in the household; and
Whereas, In Michigan and around the United States, feminine hygiene products are subject to a sales tax and are not covered by food stamps, flexible spending, or health savings accounts; and
Whereas, In Michigan, there have been five cases of toxic shock syndrome, which can be caused from extended use of super absorbent tampons, reported since December 2015, whereas the previous ten years averaged a total of four cases; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 28, 2016, as Menstrual Hygiene Day in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That the members of this legislative body encourage all Michiganders to recognize the importance of menstrual health and access to feminine hygiene products and to start a conversation to recognize that menstruation is not a taboo and menstrual health is key for women and girls’ health and wellbeing everywhere.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Rep. Sarah Roberts moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:
Substitute for House Resolution No. 303.
A resolution to declare May 28, 2016, as Menstrual Hygiene Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Menstrual Hygiene Day serves to increase public awareness of the need to ensure women and girls are able to maintain healthy menstruation practices; and

Whereas, Taboos and negative social norms surrounding menstruation are perpetuated by society as a whole. Therefore, creating an inclusive conversation with women and girls, as well as boys and men, is critical to create understanding and foster a supportive and healthy environment in menstrual health; and
Whereas, In Michigan there have been five cases of Toxic Shock Syndrome, which can be caused from extended use of super absorbent tampons, reported since December 2015. The previous ten years averaged four cases total. It is important to raise awareness of the risks of improper menstrual hygiene so that these types of cases can be prevented.
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 28, 2016, as Menstrual Hygiene Day in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Rep. Theis, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Dear Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I hereby submit my no vote remarks. Today I cast my no vote on House Bills 5649 and 5650. I am voting against these two bills today due to major concerns I have regarding unintended consequences.
My first concern is the fact that individuals who are distributing drugs if they overdose their ‘customers’ can void the distribution charges if they dial 911 under this bill. Those who are distributing drugs should be charged for their crimes, and I cannot support this type of legal loophole. I also have concerns that this legislation does nothing to help individuals who are overdosing. I believe we should require some type of intervention or follow up for their potential addiction should individuals use this new law.”
