Rep. Beth Griffin, from the 66th District, offered the following invocation:
“Heavenly Father,
As we calm our thoughts and reflect for a minute on our purpose, we ask for Your blessings on our work to help navigate Michigan through the COVID-19 recovery process. Refresh us with Your Holy Spirit. We ask You for inspiration and encouraging messages of resilience and hope for our state, messages that so many hurting fearful people need to hear. I boldly give You praise and thanks on this day, for blessing this session, and this nation borne of the efforts and toils of many good people over 240 years ago. As I reflect on our history, I see Your presence, Your handprint, and Your blessing of our constitutional republic, and ask for Your continued grace and strength for many challenges before us.
With a humble spirit and earnest heart, I ask for Your protection over all of Your people, and that You make Yourself known to those seeking solace and reassurance today.
In Jesus’s Holy Name, Amen.”

Messages from the Senate
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 14.
Whereas, It is with sincere sadness that the members of the Michigan Legislature learned of the passing of Mark Jansen. He will be remembered as a dedicated public servant with a strong commitment to his constituents in Kent County and the people of the state of Michigan; and
Whereas, Mark Jansen was a deeply religious man with a commitment to service. After attending Grand Rapids South Christian High School, Grand Valley State University, and Calvin College, he spent three years working as a missionary in Kentucky. He then returned home, where he served as the director of youth ministries at Covenant Christian Reformed Church in Gaines Township for seven years and was elected the township clerk in 1992; and
Whereas, Mark Jansen was first elected to represent the Seventy-second District in the House of Representatives in 1996, before being reelected in 1998 and 2000. During all three terms in the House, Representative Jansen served on the Appropriations Committee, including as chair of the Family Independence Agency and Retirement subcommittees. He also served as vice chair of the Appropriations subcommittees on Agriculture and Natural Resources and Environmental Quality, as well as sat on the subcommittees on Community Health, Transportation, and Higher Education. He dedicated himself to this work, becoming an expert on the subject matter and forming partnerships across the aisle and with the governor’s administration to construct effective budgets. He also served as the Assistant Republican Whip and the Republican Policy Chair and was a member of the National Conference of State Legislatures’ State Legislative Effectiveness and Fiscal, Oversight and Intergovernmental Affairs committees; and
Whereas, After leaving the House of Representatives in 2002, Mark Jansen continued to serve his community, becoming the director of special initiatives for Habitat for Humanity of Michigan. During this time, he also served on the Kent County Road Commission; and
Whereas, Mark Jansen returned to state government in 2007, following his election to represent the Twenty-eighth District in the Michigan Senate. During his Senate tenure, Senator Jansen played a critical role in the passage of most major legislation. As chair of the Families and Human Services and Reforms, Restructuring, and Reinventing committees, he was a leader in reforming the tax system, worker’s compensation, state employee retirement benefits, and many other important issues. Additionally, he was vice chair of the Finance Committee and a member of the Campaign and Election Oversight and Infrastructure Modernization committees and the Legislative Council. He also served on the Appropriations Committee where he chaired the subcommittees on the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Retirement, and Economic Development; vice chaired the subcommittees on the Department of Human Services and General Government; and served on the subcommittees on Capital Outlay and Federal Stimulus Oversight. While Senator Jansen received numerous awards for his effective leadership throughout his career, in 2011, he was named MIRS News’ first-ever Senator of the Year; and
Whereas, In addition to his legislative accomplishments, Mark Jansen was known for his ability to bring people together. As a freshman representative, he led the Republican Caucus’ “House to Houses” project, where representatives constructed homes in three Michigan counties. During his time in the Senate, Mark Jansen helped navigate state government through a period of divided government, frequently negotiating on key issues with Governor Jennifer Granholm and the Democratic House majority; and
Whereas, After leaving the Legislature in 2014, Mark Jansen continued to serve the people of Michigan. He was the Michigan Director of Child Care Licensing from 2015 until his retirement in 2020. Even then, he did not rest. He was appointed Gaines Township Manager before being diagnosed with cancer; and
Whereas, Mark Jansen dedicated his life to serving those around him, including by being an active member of his community, serving on the Michigan Youth in Government Board of Directors, as Vice President of the Cutlerville Christian School Board, as a member of the Wedgwood Christian Services Advancement Advisory Council, on the Chairman’s Leadership Forum Board of Directors, with the Bowhay Institute for Legislative Development, and as a member of the Steering Committee of the Midwestern Legislative Conference of the Council of State Governments. His commitment to his constituents and the people of Michigan is an example for those who follow him into public service. May his family and friends take solace in his legacy and our fond memory of him; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Mark C. Jansen, a member of the House of Representatives from 1997 to 2002 and the Senate from 2007 to 2014; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Jansen family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory.
The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.
The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,
The concurrent resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.

By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of
Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Manoogian, Breen, Brixie, Cavanagh, Ellison, Haadsma, Hammoud, Hood, Hope, Koleszar, Kuppa, Lasinski, Pohutsky, Rogers, Sabo, Sneller, Sowerby, Weiss, Witwer and Young offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 87.
Whereas, The state of Michigan recognizes that the Armenian Genocide occurred from 1915 to 1923. Armenians, as well as Greeks, Assyrian-Chaldeans, Syriacs, Arameans, Maronites, and other Christians were subject to torture, starvation, mass murder, lethal human medical experimentation, and exile from their historic homeland. Over 1.5 million lost their lives. The Armenian Genocide represented a deliberate attempt by the Ottoman Empire to eliminate all traces of an ancient, thriving, and noble civilization that had lived in these regions for millennia; and
Whereas, The majority of
the Armenian population was displaced from their homes and forced to escape to
neighboring and faraway communities and countries. Many refugees fled to the
United States. Today, Michigan is honored to be home to a vibrant
Armenian-American population of more than 17,000 Michiganders. This
thriving community is a proud reminder of survival and perseverance in the face
of extreme injustice; and
Whereas, Michigan Armenian churches and community organizations have organized numerous charity and community drives across the state, including, but not limited to, providing college scholarships for deserving students and serving Armenian refugee communities across the state; and
Whereas, Both houses of the 116th Congress of the United States voted to commemorate and recognize the atrocities of the Armenian Genocide, reject efforts to associate the United States government with efforts to deny the existence of the Armenian Genocide or any genocide, and encourage education and public understanding about the Armenian Genocide; and
Whereas, By recognizing and consistently remembering the Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust, and all cases of past and ongoing genocide, we help protect historic memory, ensure that similar atrocities do not occur again, and remain vigilant against hatred, persecution and tyranny. The Armenian community of Michigan has used its deep understanding of historic pain and dispersal to constantly and consistently stand alongside other persecuted communities in Michigan and around the world; and
Whereas, Armenian communities around the world commemorate the tragedy of the Armenian Genocide on April 24, 2021. On this day, we honor the victims and survivors of the Genocide and reaffirm our commitment to preventing future atrocities from being committed against any people; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 24, 2021, as a Day of Remembrance in the state of Michigan for the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Calley, Kahle, Wendzel, Witwer, Aiyash, Bollin, Breen, Brixie, Cavanagh, Ellison, Haadsma, Hammoud, Hood, Hope, Koleszar, Kuppa, Lasinski, Rogers, Sabo, Sneller, Sowerby, Weiss and Young offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 88.
A resolution to declare April 2021 as Autism Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Autism refers to a range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication, as well as by unique strengths and differences. In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association merged four previously distinct diagnoses into one umbrella diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These included autistic disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), and Asperger syndrome. It is the result of a neurological disorder that affects the normal functioning of the brain that is believed to be caused by genetic and environmental factors; and
Whereas, Families living with autism face unique challenges and frequently experience significant financial costs for specialized education and support services. The uniqueness of each individual with autism makes the experience of living with autism different for each family; and
Whereas, Autism is a lifelong condition and the necessary support and treatment changes as people on the spectrum move through major life phases. Their quality of life depends not only upon the foundation that is provided in childhood, but on ongoing supports that are specific to the educational, medical, social, recreational, family, and employment needs of the individual; and
Whereas, Autism knows no racial, ethnic, social boundaries, family income, lifestyle, or educational levels and can affect any family and any child. Autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability in the United States and it is estimated that it is prevalent in 1 in every 59 children under the age of 8 and is four times more likely to occur in boys than in girls; and
Whereas, April 2021 is National Autism Awareness Month; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 2021 as Autism Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
THIS RESOLUTION IS OFFERED TO COMPLY WITH mcl 324.36105 AND mcl 324.36106.
Rep. Albert offered the following concurrent resolution:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 7.
A concurrent resolution to approve a designated open space land application for property in Kent County.
Whereas, Section 36105(3)
and Section 36106(9) of Part 361, Farmland and Open Space Preservation, of the
Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, MCL 324.36105
and MCL 324.36106, require the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
to submit each application for an open space development rights easement, along
with an analysis of its cost, to the Legislature for approval by a majority of
members elected and serving in each house; and
Whereas, The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has received an application for a designated open space development rights easement located in Vergennes Township, Kent County; and
Whereas, The Legislature has reviewed the application and analysis and determined the land in question qualifies and that it is in the interest of the state of Michigan to execute an easement involving a parcel of land located in Kent County; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That, pursuant to MCL 324.36105 and MCL 324.36106, we hereby approve the following designated open space land application submitted by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development:

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources and Outdoor Recreation.
Reps. Wozniak, Aiyash, Breen, Haadsma, Hood, Hope, Kuppa, Pohutsky and Weiss offered the following concurrent resolution:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 8.
A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to include sewer separation and other projects intended to reduce sewer overflows in infrastructure funding bills.
Whereas, Congress is currently negotiating bills to implement the Biden administration’s $2.3 trillion plan to repair and improve the nation’s infrastructure. The plan would invest in roads, bridges, public transit, railroads, drinking water systems, broadband, and other infrastructure needs across the nation; and
Whereas, Sewer overflows into our nation’s waters due to aging and outdated wastewater infrastructure are an annual occurrence. An estimated 23,000 to 75,000 sanitary sewer overflows occur each year, and more than 860 municipalities continue to operate combined sewer systems prone to overflows after heavy rains that pollute waters. In Michigan alone, there were 750 sewer overflows, discharging more than 37 billion gallons of minimally treated sewage and more than 3 billion gallons of raw sewage into Michigan’s lakes, rivers, and streams in 2019; and
Whereas, Sewer overflows endanger public health and the environment. Exposure to sewage-contaminated water can lead to illness, often forcing the closure of swimming beaches. Overflows may feed harmful or nuisance algal blooms and deplete oxygen in the water, impacting recreation, fish, and wildlife. Nothing is more important than making sure our drinking water as well as the waterways we use for recreation, fishing, and tourism are protected from sewer overflows; and
Whereas, There remains a substantial gap between available funds to address sewer overflows and funding needs. The 2019 American Society of Civil Engineers’ infrastructure report card identified an $81 billion annual gap nationally for water infrastructure. In Michigan, the 21st Century Infrastructure Commission noted an $800 million annual gap for water and sewer infrastructure needs. Despite their best efforts, states, local governments, and their residents cannot fill this gap on their own; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to include sewer separation and other projects intended to reduce sewage overflows into our nation’s waters in infrastructure funding bills; 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 concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Appropriations.
