Motions and Resolutions
House Resolution 155.
A
resolution to declare September 13-22, 2019, as Welcoming Week in the state of
Michigan.
Whereas, The state of Michigan is proud to partner with
Welcoming America and Welcoming Michigan; and
Whereas, Welcoming America and Welcoming Michigan aim to
build cooperation, respect, and compassion among
all in our community, immigrants and non-immigrants alike; and
Whereas,
Michigan has long been recognized as a hospitable and welcoming place, where
people, families, and institutions thrive, and the contributions of all are
celebrated and valued; and
Whereas,
Residents of Michigan demonstrate our highest American values of acceptance and
equality and treat newcomers with decency and respect, creating a vibrant
community for all to live in the Great Lakes State; and
Whereas,
Michigan remains resolute in its commitment to continue fostering a neighborly
and welcoming atmosphere in our community, where all are welcome, accepted, and
appreciated; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the
members of this legislative body declare September 13-22, 2019,
as Welcoming Week in the state of Michigan. We urge residents and elected
officials of our state to do their part and join with the initiative and affirm
Michigan as a welcoming state that respects the innate dignity of all people.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
House Resolution No. 156.
A
resolution to memorialize the President and Congress of the United States to
increase federal investment in drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater
infrastructure.
Whereas,
A staggering $179 billion is needed over the next 20 years to fund
improvements, upgrades, and repairs to water infrastructure in the Great Lakes
Region. For Michigan alone, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates
that water suppliers will need over $13 billion through 2034 for building and
maintaining infrastructure; and
Whereas,
State and local governments make significant financial investments in water
infrastructure, but they cannot fund the needed improvements alone; and
Whereas,
The federal government’s contribution to water infrastructure has declined from
63 percent to 9 percent of capital spending since 1977, systematically
underfunding public water infrastructure. Federal financing of state water
infrastructure is vital to protect U.S. waters so they are fishable and
swimmable and to ensure that all residents have access to clean, safe, and
affordable drinking water. Crucial funding for water infrastructure is provided
through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, Drinking Water State Revolving
Fund, Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act, and Water
Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act. These programs require continued
support and significant funding increases to meet state needs; and
Whereas, Water infrastructure costs are passed on to
those who can least afford it with water utility bills doubling and tripling in
many cities over the last decade. Outdated and dangerous infrastructure, such
as lead service lines, poses a significant public health risk, particularly for
infants and children. These challenges are only expected to worsen as climate
change pushes existing infrastructure to its limits; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the President and Congress
of the United States to address the Great Lakes region’s need for $179
billion in investments for drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater
infrastructure; and be it further
Resolved,
That we urge the President and Congress to triple federal investment in the
Clean Water State Revolving Fund and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund and
continue to support and fund the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the
Nation Act and Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act; 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 Natural Resources and
Outdoor Recreation.
Reps. Tate, Garza, Coleman, Haadsma, Witwer, Whitsett, Sowerby, Shannon,
Rabhi, Cynthia Johnson, Gay-Dagnogo, Ellison, Camilleri, Pohutsky, Warren,
Sabo, Brixie, Kuppa, Hoadley, Love, Hope, Peterson, Cherry, Greig, Koleszar,
VanSingel, Lasinski, Pagan, Brann, Clemente, Wittenberg, Manoogian, Chirkun and
Kennedy offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 157.
A
resolution to memorialize the President and Congress of the United States to
increase funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative to $475 million per
year.
Whereas,
The Great Lakes are a critical resource for our nation and central to the
economy, heritage, and quality of life of Michigan and the other seven states
within the Great Lakes region. The Great Lakes hold over 84 percent of the
United States’ surface freshwater and drive a thriving regional economy,
directly supporting 1.5 million U.S. jobs and generating $62 billion in wages.
More than 30 million U.S. residents depend on the Great Lakes for drinking
water; and
Whereas, The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI)
has provided crucial funding to support long overdue work to protect and
restore the Great Lakes. In partnership with the states, local governments, and
other organizations, the federal government has invested more than $3 billion and
supported over 4,700 projects over the last decade, including around $600
million for more than 1,100 projects in Michigan; and
Whereas,
The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative represents a sound investment in both
the environment and the economies of the Great Lakes region. A 2018 study
calculated that for every federal dollar invested in Great Lakes restoration
there is $3.35 in additional economic activity, with older industrial cities
like Detroit seeing an even higher return on investment; and
Whereas,
Real progress has been made in cleaning up and restoring the Great Lakes thanks
to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. One-third of the region’s toxic
hot spots have been cleaned up, sparking redevelopment and business
opportunities on waterfronts. Area farms and conservation organizations have
increased conservation practices, which have reduced harmful nutrient runoff,
and habitat and wildlife connectivity continue to improve, with nearly 5,000
miles of rivers cleared of dams and other barriers; and
Whereas,
Far more work needs to be done to ensure every person has a clean community in
which to live, safe beaches to enjoy, and healthy fish to eat. Substantial
limitations and threats to the use of the Great Lakes remain whether toxic algal
blooms shutting down Toledo’s drinking water supply, invasive carp threatening
billion-dollar fisheries, or contaminated sediments restricting recreational
opportunities; and
Whereas,
The time to act is now. The ecological, economic, and health risks are too
high. The problems will only get worse and the solutions more expensive and
challenging in the future; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the President and Congress
of the United States to increase funding for the Great Lakes Restoration
Initiative to $475 million per year to boost the region’s work of cleaning up
toxic contamination, reducing runoff pollution, stopping invasive species, and
protecting and restoring wetlands and other habitats; 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 Natural Resources and
Outdoor Recreation.
Reps. Hood, Garza, Coleman, Haadsma, Witwer, Whitsett, Sowerby, Shannon,
Rabhi, Cynthia Johnson, Tate, Gay-Dagnogo, Ellison, Camilleri, Pohutsky, Warren,
Sabo, Brixie, Kuppa, Hoadley, Love, Hope, Peterson, Cherry, Greig, Koleszar,
VanSingel, Lasinski, Pagan, Brann, Clemente, Wittenberg, Manoogian, Chirkun and
Kennedy offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 158.
A
resolution to memorialize the federal government to support strong ballast
water rules and efforts at Brandon Road Lock and Dam to prevent and control the
introduction and spread of invasive species in the Great Lakes region.
Whereas, The Great Lakes are a critical resource for our
nation and central to the economy, heritage, and quality of life in Michigan
and the other seven states within the Great Lakes region. The Great Lakes drive
a thriving regional economy, directly supporting 1.5 million U.S. jobs and
generating $62 billion in wages; and
Whereas, Aquatic invasive species have altered the basic
functions of the Great Lakes and its waterways, disrupting fisheries, wildlife,
and water supplies. More than 180 non-native invasive species have established
themselves in the Great Lakes over the years, costing the region an estimated
$100 million per year or more; and
Whereas,
Aquatic invasive species are a continuing threat to the Great Lakes and its
regional economy and quality of life. Asian carp are on the verge of entering
the Great Lakes and are a direct threat to the $7 billion Great Lakes fishing
industry. In places in the Illinois River, these invasive fish make up 90
percent of the aquatic life present; and
Whereas,
Ballast water carried in ships traversing the Great Lakes can contain
non-native invasive species that are introduced and spread with unknown but
potentially dire consequences when the ballast water is emptied into the Great
Lakes. The impact of zebra and quagga mussels not only on the basic ecology of
the Great Lakes but on drinking water systems, power plants, and other water
users demonstrates the magnitude of the potential threat from invasive species
contained in ballast water; and
Whereas,
The installation of technologies at the Brandon Road Lock and Dam would be a
major step in ensuring Asian carp and other invasive species do not move into
the Great Lakes. The benefits of this project go beyond the Great Lakes and
will provide solutions and tools that can be utilized in waterways across the
nation to combat invasive species; and
Whereas,
Efforts to prevent invasive species from entering the Great Lakes need to move
forward as quickly as possible. The threat is imminent, and once invasive
species get established in the Great Lakes, there is no way to clean up the
problem. These harmful species will be here to stay; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the President and Congress
of the United States and the United States Army Corps of Engineers to
support, fully fund, and expedite the plan to build new prevention measures at
Brandon Road Lock and Dam; and be it further
Resolved,
That we memorialize the President and Congress to support strong ballast water
rules for every Great Lakes vessel to help stop and control the introduction
and spread of invasive species in the Great Lakes region; 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, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and the Commanding General and Chief
of Engineers of the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources and Outdoor
Recreation.

resolution:
House Resolution No. 159.
A
resolution to urge the President and Congress of the United States and the
United States Environmental Protection Agency to commit to assisting states in
reducing nutrient pollution in the western Lake Erie basin by 40 percent by
2025.
Whereas,
Harmful algal blooms threaten drinking water, outdoor recreation, and fish and
wildlife in the Great Lakes region. These nutrient-fed toxic outbreaks in
western Lake Erie and other areas of the region can impact large areas, with
consequences for people’s quality of life and for the water-dependent economy
of Michigan and the other seven Great Lakes states; and
Whereas,
The threat of harmful algal blooms is not hypothetical. Harmful algal blooms in
the western Lake Erie basin are increasing in frequency and intensity,
impacting Michigan’s and Ohio’s Great Lakes shoreline and recreation in these
areas. Toxins produced by these harmful algal blooms can sicken people and pets
exposed through swimming, wading, or boating and contaminate drinking water;
and
Whereas, Little progress has been made toward reaching
targets for nutrient reduction. Under the Great Lakes Water
Quality Agreement, the United States and Canada committed to reducing total
phosphorus loads to Lake Erie by 40 percent, with Michigan, Ohio, and Ontario
committing to hit this target by 2025. These ambitious targets require
aggressive action, but unless efforts increase soon, these will end up being
empty promises; and
Whereas,
The potential for harmful algal blooms will only increase in the future. The
continuing trend of higher temperatures and more intense rainfall expected with
climate change create a recipe for larger and longer-lasting blooms with
consequences for all water users; and
Whereas,
States are doing their part to address harmful algal blooms. Michigan and other
Great Lakes states have developed action plans to address nutrient pollution in
Lake Erie. States need a robust and active federal partner to address the
threat from harmful algal blooms; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That we urge the President and Congress of the
United States and the United States Environmental Protection Agency to commit
to assisting states in reducing nutrient pollution in the western Lake Erie
basin by 40 percent by 2025 by focusing federal funding, resources, and
expertise to the problem while still maintaining the commitment to monitor,
report, and reduce nutrient pollution in the other Great Lakes and regional
water bodies; 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, the members of the Michigan congressional
delegation, and the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection
Agency.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources and
Outdoor Recreation.

the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 160.
A
resolution to urge Congress and the President to support federal funding for
ports, harbors, and critical marine infrastructure in the Great Lakes region including
the Soo Locks reconstruction project.
Whereas,
The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway system is the longest deep-draft waterway
in the world spanning from Duluth, Minnesota to the Atlantic Ocean. This
commercial waterway provides cost-effective and reliable transportation for
cargo, including iron ore, coal, steel, machinery, cement, and petroleum
products that are staples in everyday life—whether that be for road
improvements or the energy powering our cities; and
Whereas,
The economic importance of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway system cannot be
overstated. Commerce along the seaway supported over 200,000 jobs and generated
over $35 billion in economic activity in 2017 alone. Maintaining the ports,
harbors, and critical infrastructure of the seaway is necessary to protect
American industry and jobs; and
Whereas,
Maintaining and updating the Soo Locks in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan is of
utmost importance, not only to the residents of Michigan but to all Americans.
Nearly 80 percent of domestic iron ore—the primary material used to manufacture
steel critical to the auto industry and construction—travels from mines in
Minnesota and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula through the Soo Locks; and
Whereas,
Even a six-month unplanned closure at the Soo Locks would devastate steel,
automobile, and other heavy equipment production throughout North America,
decreasing U.S. gross domestic production by $1.3 trillion and costing more
than 11 million jobs. The effect would ripple across national supply chains and
eventually lead to a full shut down of steel production in Pennsylvania; and
Whereas,
Congress has appropriated an initial $32 million to begin construction at the
Soo Locks; however, the $1 billion project will require continued appropriation
from Congress through the completion of the project. The economic risk of a Soo
Locks closure is too great to delay funding for even one year; now, therefore,
be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That we urge Congress and the President to
support federal funding for ports, harbors,
and critical marine infrastructure in the Great Lakes region including the Soo Locks
reconstruction project; 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.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Commerce and Tourism.

Manoogian, Chirkun and Kennedy offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 161.
A
resolution to memorialize the United States Environmental Protection Agency and
Department of Defense to increase federal action to address PFAS contamination.
Whereas,
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large group of man-made
chemicals with numerous household and industrial uses. PFAS have been shown to
have a variety of health effects, including increasing the risk of developing
cancer, thyroid disease, high blood pressure during pregnancy, and cholesterol.
Their ubiquity in the environment, especially groundwater, and resistance to
breakdown pose significant challenges to clean-up efforts. New toxicological
research raises concerns about the adequacy of existing drinking water
standards to protect the public from PFAS; and
Whereas,
Water testing mandated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has revealed high levels of PFAS contamination across the Great Lakes
region, impacting more than 16.5 million Americans. The United States
Department of Defense (DOD) has identified more than 400 current and former
military bases with known or suspected PFAS release. To date, the state of
Michigan has identified 63 sites contaminated with high levels of PFAS,
including 10 sites at or near military bases; and
Whereas,
The state of Michigan has been a national leader in addressing PFAS
contamination but relies on the coordination, leadership, and financial support
of the federal government to surmount this complex challenge; and
Whereas,
It is essential that federal agencies establish and implement PFAS response
strategies in a timely manner to protect the health of all Americans. The EPA
has indicated that it is moving forward with a PFAS Action Plan but uncertainty
remains regarding its implementation timeline. Despite military bases being a
substantial source of PFAS contamination, the DOD has failed to take action to
address the issue. The DOD has established a PFAS Task Force, but its
recommendations will only be the first step in addressing PFAS contamination on
military bases and their surrounding communities; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the United States
Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Defense to increase federal
action to address PFAS contamination; and be it further
Resolved,
That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Administrator of the United
States Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Secretary of
Defense.
