House of Representatives

98th Legislature

REGULAR SESSION OF 2016

House Chamber, Lansing, Wednesday, July 13, 2016.

10:00 a.m.

The House was called to order by the Clerk.

The roll was called by the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who announced that a quorum was not present.

Rep. Tom Cochran, from the 67th District, offered the following invocation:

“Colleagues, I ask you all to take a moment with me right now not of silence, but of reflection.

Over three weeks have passed since we lost one of our own, and her loss still looms heavily on our shoulders and our hearts.

While words cannot adequately describe the mark Julie Plawecki has left on this Chamber, on her colleagues, her friends, and her family, I would like to take this moment to briefly attempt to honor the contributions she has made on us all.

As a Representative, the people of the 11th district could not have asked for a stronger or braver leader. Julie stood up for her beliefs and she fought for them tooth and nail.

Julie cared about the people she represented to her core. She made an example of what a leader should be, and we are all better off for having her as a role model.

As a friend and colleague, Julie’s care and kindness was felt by everyone around her.

She was a beacon of positivity and benevolence in a world confused by polarity and selfishness. The impact she left on us all will ensure her light will continue to shine, even with her loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Julie’s family now. We thank you for sharing your mother, wife, and daughter with us. She has truly made us all better people simply by knowing her.

I would like to invite all my colleagues to take a moment and reflect on the impact Julie has made in your life, and if you would like to join me, I would also like to take a moment to pray and thank God for the gift of Julie’s presence in this chamber.”

Explanation of “No” Votes

Rep. Darany, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote pertaining to House Bill Nos. 5383 and 5384, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on House Bill 5383 and 5384, the Republican Detroit Public Schools plan, because I feel this version leaves Detroit’s kids in failing, crumbling schools. While the new plan sends more dollars to the district, it fails to put in place the reforms needed to ensure DPS will recover from its financial crisis, making it likely that DPS will be in the same situation a year or two down the road. Additionally, this plan allows DPS to hire uncertified teachers in our classrooms, allows charter schools to open whenever and wherever they want in the city with no accountability. This isn’t how you fix a school district and educate students. This is how you sell off a generation of students to the highest charter bidder. Detroit students, parents and teachers deserve much better than what the Republicans in power did to them today which is why I’m voting no.”

House Joint Resolution OO, entitled

A joint resolution to petition the Congress of the United States to call a convention to propose an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to restrict independent political spending. ARTICLE [Insert Article Number] Whereas, the 1st President of the United States, George Washington, stated, “The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their Constitutions of Government.”; and, Whereas, it was the stated intention of the framers of the Constitution of the United States of America that the Congress of the United States of America should be “dependent on the people alone.” (James Madison, Federalist 52); and, Whereas, that dependency has evolved from a dependency on the people alone to a dependency on those who spend excessively in elections, through campaigns or third-party groups; and, Whereas, the United States Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United v Federal Election Commission, 558 US 310 (2010), removed restrictions on amounts of independent political spending; and, Whereas, the removal of those restrictions has resulted in the unjust influence of powerful economic forces, which have supplanted the will of the people by undermining our ability to choose our political leadership, write our own laws, and determine the fate of our state; and, Whereas, Article V of the United States Constitution requires the United States Congress to call a convention for proposing amendments upon application of two-thirds of the legislatures of the several states for the purpose of proposing amendments to the United States Constitution; and, Whereas, the state of Michigan sees the need for a convention to propose amendments in order to address concerns such as those raised by the decision of the United States Supreme Court in Citizens United v Federal Election Commission, 558 US 310 (2010), and related cases and events including those occurring long before or afterward or for a substantially similar purpose, and desires that said convention should be so limited; and, Whereas, the state of Michigan desires that the delegates to said convention shall be composed equally of individuals currently elected to state and local office, or be selected by election in each congressional district for the purpose of serving as delegates, though all individuals elected or appointed to federal office, now or in the past, be prohibited from serving as delegates to the convention, and intends to retain the ability to restrict or expand the power of its delegates within the limits expressed above; and, Whereas, the state of Michigan intends that this be a continuing application considered together with applications calling for a convention passed in the 2013-2014 Vermont legislature as R454, the 2013-2014 California legislature as Resolution Chapter 77, the 98th Illinois General Assembly as Senate Joint Resolution No. 42, the 2014-2015 New Jersey legislature as SCR 132, and all other passed, pending, and future applications, the aforementioned concerns of Michigan notwithstanding until such time as two-thirds of the several states have applied for a convention and said convention is convened by Congress. Be it resolved, That the legislature of the state of Michigan, pursuant to Article V of the United States Constitution, hereby petitions the United States Congress to call a convention for the purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America as soon as two-thirds of the several states have applied for a convention; and Be it further resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President and Vice President of the United States, to the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, to the Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives, to the President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate, to each senator and representative from Michigan in the Congress of the United States, to the governor of each state, and to the presiding officers of each legislative body of each of the several states, requesting the cooperation of the several states in issuing an application compelling congress to call a convention for proposing amendments pursuant to Article V of the United States Constitution.

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 30.

A concurrent resolution to encourage the Governor to change the name of the Michigan Department of Corrections to the Michigan Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

Whereas, In addition to holding offenders accountable, the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) provides rehabilitative opportunities and reentry assistance. Ensuring public safety requires that the department house offenders in prison, but also that offenders leave supervision ready to become productive members of society who are less likely to commit crimes in the future; and

Whereas, Quality rehabilitation and reentry services improve public safety, enhance offenders’ quality of life, and are a cost-effective use of taxpayer dollars. The MDOC works with prisoners throughout their sentences to prepare them for reentry into the community, providing educational opportunities and support services designed to give offenders the tools they need to receive parole and succeed when they return home; and

Whereas, Rehabilitation services also function as an important bridge back into society because they afford prisoners an opportunity to engage with volunteers and professionals from the community who are invested in their success; and

Whereas, The names of state departments should reflect their mission and the priorities assigned by the Governor and Legislature. Adding rehabilitation to the MDOC’s name will more clearly articulate the department’s vision to employees, offenders, and the general public; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we encourage the Governor to change the name of the Michigan Department of Corrections to the Michigan Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor and the Director of the Michigan Department of Corrections.

The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Criminal Justice.
