Almighty God, who has given us this land for our heritage and for our use, we ask that we may prove ourselves to be a people mindful of Your laws and glad to do what is right in Your sight. Bless our state with honorable industry, sound learning, and respect for each and every member of humankind. Save us from violence, discord, or confusion. Save us from pride or arrogance. Defend our liberties and fashion the multitudes who have come to our state into one people, united in love for one another. Give to those who govern a spirit of wisdom that we may enjoy justice and peace at home, and that through obedience, we may show others Your ways. In times of prosperity, fill us with thankfulness. In days of trouble, we ask for courage to do what is needed. We trust You for the strength we need for each day, the discernment to know what is right, and the compassion to create a society of opportunity and justice for all.

Lord, we ask Your blessing on this gathering today and I pray that You would be honored by what is accomplished here. Where there may be discord, bring unity. Where there is strife, bring peace. Where there is oppression, bring justice. Where there is confusion, bring understanding.

May the peace of God, which passes all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. May the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be yours now and forever. Amen.

The President, Lieutenant Governor Calley, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

This morning it is my pleasure to recognize two individuals who have earned a special honor. The Frank Fitzgerald Public Service Award recognizes talented young people active in Michigan government who have shown extraordinary dedication and willingness to help others. The award is named for the late Frank Fitzgerald, a state lawmaker in the 1980s and 1990s. Frank served 12 years in the Michigan House and was Speaker pro tempore for two terms. His father, John Fitzgerald, served here in the Michigan Senate. Recipients are honored for their excellence as scholars, communicators, and volunteers.

The first winner is Isaac Martin, who interned in the Michigan House of Representatives. Isaac served in the office of State Representative Lee Chatfield, where he helped constituents in the 107th District. Today, Isaac is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering at an outstanding school, Oakland University. He is a columnist for the Oakland Post and has been recognized as an Oakland Distinguished Scholar. In 2016, Isaac received the John Quincy Adams Award from the Student Statesmanship Institute. Isaac’s parents are Pascal and Sonya Martin. Isaac’s family is in the east Gallery. Please join me in welcoming them.

Our second recipient is Evan Ward. Evan served as a student budget analyst and researcher at the State Budget Office of Michigan. He researched the fiscal aspects of Medicaid, corrections, higher education, and K-12 education. Evan also interned in the House Republican Policy Office, where he focused on transportation, families, insurance, health care, and local government policy. He is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in public philosophy at Xavier University in Ohio. Evan’s parents are Tim and Mary and they are also in the east Gallery. Let’s thank them for being here as well. I think some of us recognize Tim Ward.

On behalf of the Michigan Senate, we’d like to thank both of these young individuals for their hard work. We congratulate them on winning the 2017 Fitzgerald Public Service Award.

Resolutions

Senator Kowall moved that consideration of the following resolutions be postponed for today:

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 10

Senate Resolution No. 36

The motion prevailed.

Senator MacGregor offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 69.

A resolution to urge the U.S. Congress to enact legislation that provides small business owners an opportunity to remedy alleged violations under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Whereas, The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted in 1990 to improve access and equality for disabled Americans. After over 25 years in effect, the integrity of the ADA is in question because of the onslaught of lawsuits against small businesses due to minor and correctable infractions; and

Whereas, Small businesses provide goods and services that are vital to our economy, and it is important that every effort is made to ensure disabled Americans have access to those goods and services. When there are minor and easily correctable ADA infractions, small businesses are increasingly being faced with lawsuits by individuals; and

Whereas, The threat or actual occurrence of a lawsuit places small businesses in the dilemma of choosing whether to settle the suit or face the potentially exorbitant cost of litigation in terms of both time and money. Additionally, plaintiffs who abuse the ADA system often file multiple cases, many with businesses and properties; and

Whereas, The ADA Education and Reform Act of 2017 (H.R. 620) proposes to provide business owners an opportunity to remedy alleged ADA violations before facing the cost of legal fees. The act would provide business owners a 120-day window within which to make the public accommodation corrections that they were cited for under the ADA. It restores the ADA to its original purpose of enabling access and accommodation to disabled Americans; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we urge the U.S. Congress to enact legislation that provides small business owners an opportunity to remedy alleged violations under the Americans with Disabilities Act; 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.

Pursuant to rule 3.204, the resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

Senators Booher, Brandenburg, Hansen, Jones, Knollenberg, Proos, Schmidt and Zorn were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.

Senator Meekhof offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 70.

A resolution to urge and request the Congress of the United States to develop and improve trade relations with Cuba.

Whereas, To conduct a study analyzing economic opportunities relative to Cuba, and to make a report of the findings of the study; and

Whereas, The Michigan Senate clearly recognizes the current financial climate in this state and the immediate need to develop and foster all beneficial economic opportunities; and

Whereas, The international commercial market routinely changes in conjunction with economic globalization, evolutions in technology, and perpetual legal and political factors. It is necessary to explore and cultivate international economic opportunities; and

Whereas, Global production and distribution channels are of utmost importance to consumers and producers in addition to state and national economies; and

Whereas, The United States has recently taken steps to rebuild trade relations with Cuba by addressing long-standing regulations and restrictions imposed on Cuban trade, travel and carrier services, telecommunications, and financial industries; and

Whereas, A mutually beneficial relationship between Michigan and Cuba, fostering economic growth and job creation for both parties, that is consistent with the outcomes of Michigan’s new and old international trading partners; and

Whereas, Michigan has many established and burgeoning industries which would yield positive outcomes that would only be made available with an easing of sanctions and trade barriers; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body do hereby urge and request the Congress of the United States to develop and improve trade relations with Cuba; and be it further

Resolved, That Congress develop and improve trade relations with Cuba, and conduct a study on the potential benefits on business with the Republic of Cuba to be made public upon its completion; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,

Senator Kowall moved that the rule be suspended.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The resolution was adopted.

Senators Bieda, Booher, Brandenburg, Conyers, Hansen, Hopgood, Kowall, Proos, Schmidt and Zorn were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.

Senator Marleau offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 71.

A resolution to recognize June 6, 2017, as Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease Awareness Day.

Whereas, Diabetes affects more than 29 million Americans and is a chronic condition that occurs when the body does not properly produce or use the hormone insulin that regulates blood sugar; and

Whereas, Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes, representing an estimated 90 to 95 percent of all diagnosed adult diabetes cases in the United States; and

Whereas, Michigan has a higher prevalence of diabetes than the nation as a whole. It is estimated that 701,000 Michigan adults have been diagnosed with diabetes, and another 364,400 have undiagnosed diabetes; and

Whereas, Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in Michigan; and

Whereas, Diabetes costs an estimated $10.5 billion in Michigan each year; and

Whereas, Cardiovascular disease is a term used to define problems with the heart and blood vessels such as heart attacks, heart failure and strokes; and

Whereas, Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death associated with diabetes due to complications associated with diabetes, such as high blood sugar, high blood pressure and obesity; and

Whereas, In Michigan, 28 percent of people with diabetes aged 18 and older reported having cardiovascular disease; and

Whereas, People with type 2 diabetes are at two to four times greater risk for developing heart disease, stroke, or other cardiovascular disease at an earlier age; and

Whereas, Findings from a recent study revealing 52 percent of adults living with type 2 diabetes are unaware they are at an increased risk; and

Whereas, Two out of three deaths in people with type 2 diabetes are attributed to cardiovascular disease in the United States, accounting for 68 percent of deaths in people with type 2 diabetes; and

Whereas, The total health care costs for the treatment of diabetes is reported to be approximately $245 billion annually, with direct medical costs accounting for $176 billion of the total costs in 2013, and cardiovascular disease accounting for 28 percent of costs for treating diabetes patients; and

Whereas, Appropriate awareness and education about the cardiovascular risks associated with diabetes can effectively reduce the overall outcome and financial burden of the illness; and

Whereas, The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and other relevant partners seek to promote awareness, education, and action related to diabetes and the link to cardiovascular disease; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we recognize June 6, 2017, as Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease Awareness Day; and be further

Resolved, That we encourage state agencies, public health authorities, healthcare providers, employers, insurers, and other healthcare stakeholders to promote education and awareness of the connection between diabetes and cardiovascular disease, the risk factors, and opportunities to promote better health for the individuals and populations at risk.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,

Senator Kowall moved that the rule be suspended.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The resolution was adopted.

Senators Bieda, Booher, Brandenburg, Hansen, Hood, Hopgood, Jones, Knollenberg, Kowall, Proos, Rocca, Schmidt and Zorn were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.

Senator Marleau asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Marleau’s statement is as follows:

I stand before you excited to dedicate today, Tuesday, June 6, as Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease Awareness Day here in the state of Michigan. As you may know, there is a connection between diabetes and cardiovascular disease that affects millions of Americans. In fact, over 29 million Americans are affected by diabetes, and in the state of Michigan alone, over one million people face this chronic condition. Sadly, many of these cases go undiagnosed, making this the seventh leading cause of death.

Knowledge is powerful, and I would encourage all of you to check out the link between diabetes and heart disease. I encourage everyone to follow the Diabetes Heart Connection on Facebook and Twitter to stay informed about ways to reduce this issue.

Today, let’s remember and stand with our friends and family who battle this illness, and dedicate today, June 6, 2017, as Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease Awareness Day.
