Rep. Andrew Fink, from the 58th District, offered the following invocation:
“Almighty God, You have given us this good land as our heritage. Grant that we Remember Your generosity and constantly do Your will. Bless our land with honest industry, truthful education, and an honorable way of life. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil course of action. Grant that we, who came from many nations with many different languages, may be a united people. Support us in defending our liberties, and give those to whom we have entrusted the authority of government the spirit of wisdom, that there may be justice and peace in our land. When times are prosperous, may our hearts be thankful, and in troubled times do not let our trust in You fail; through Jesus Christ, our Lord.”
______

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Meerman, Bezotte, Cherry, Fink, Garza, Haadsma, Kuppa, Morse, Rogers, Sabo, Sneller, Stone, Weiss, Witwer and Yaroch offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 218.
A resolution to declare February 1, 2022, as Blue Star Mothers Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, On January 22, 1942, in the midst of the Second World War, U.S. Army Captain George Maines ran an ad in the Flint News Observer calling for mothers of servicemembers to assemble; and
Whereas, On February 1, 1942, 300 mothers met and held their first meeting at the Durant Hotel in Flint, Michigan. February 1, 2021, is the 80th anniversary of this meeting; and
Whereas, On July 14, 1960, the Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc. received its Congressional Charter; and
Whereas, Blue Star Mothers make enormous sacrifices while their sons and daughters are providing for the defense of the nation; and
Whereas, Blue Star Mothers pack and ship thousands of care packages every year to servicemembers deployed overseas, volunteer to help homeless veterans, provide support for wounded warriors, visit with hospitalized veterans, honor fallen heroes during funeral services, and offer a compassionate community for the mothers of men and women in uniform serving in harm’s way; and
Whereas, Blue Star Mothers promote American values, demonstrate a patriotic spirit, and advance a national sense of pride and appreciation for our men and women in uniform; and
Whereas, There are 198 active chapters of the Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc. throughout the United States representing thousands of military families; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 1, 2022, as Blue Star Mothers Day in the state of Michigan. We honor and recognizes the contributions of the members of the Blue State Mothers of America, Inc. and the important role that they play in supporting each other and veterans. We encourage all citizens of the United States to observe this momentous occasion and reflect on the contributions and sacrifices of the mothers of servicemembers.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Markkanen, Eisen, LaFave, Howell, Borton, Beeler, Allor, VanSingel, Steven Johnson and Reilly offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 219.
A resolution to urge the Wolf Management Advisory Council and the Natural Resources Commission to authorize, and the Department of Natural Resources to organize, wolf hunting and trapping as part of the state’s wolf management efforts beginning in 2022.
Whereas, Gray wolves in
Michigan have been protected under the federal Endangered Species Act since
1974. At that time, gray wolves were in danger of going extinct and needed the
special protection provided by the act to aid their recovery; and
Whereas, The federal government removed the gray wolf from the federal endangered species list effective January 4, 2021. Gray wolves have made a remarkable recovery from near extinction. Michigan’s current gray wolf population of almost 700 wolves exceeds by over three times the number of wolves biologists consider necessary to maintain a healthy population in the state. Michigan’s wolf population has met all federal recovery goals for delisting both in terms of number of wolves and the stability of those numbers for many years; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan is now responsible for managing its gray wolf population, and Department of Natural Resources’ officials stated as recently as the summer of 2020 that their survey results show that Michigan’s wolf population has recovered. Wolves in Michigan achieved the minimum sustainable population goal of 200 wolves for five consecutive years in 2004 and have since surpassed state and federal population recovery goals for nearly 20 years; and
Whereas, Managed hunting and trapping in the state is a viable means of ensuring stable wolf population numbers. Management allows the wolf population to be kept at levels that ensure the overall survival of the animal but limit potential wolf and human conflicts; and
Whereas, Michigan has an active and legitimate wolf management plan in place that was updated in 2015. While we commend the department for beginning the process of updating this plan again and commend the Natural Resources Commission for setting a plan update deadline of the end of 2021, there is no statutory requirement or precedent to delay a 2022 wolf hunt while the plan is reviewed and updated. Neither is there a requirement for a statewide public attitude survey or study to occur prior to a hunting season; and
Whereas, The law is clear that the commission should, to the greatest extent practicable, utilize principles of sound scientific management in making decisions regarding the taking of game; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Wolf Management Advisory Council and the Natural Resources Commission to authorize, and the Department of Natural Resources to organize, wolf hunting and trapping as part of the state’s wolf management efforts beginning in 2022; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the members of the Natural Resources Commission and the Wolf Management Advisory Council and the Director of the Department of Natural Resources.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources and Outdoor Recreation.
Reps. Hornberger, Cherry, Garza, Haadsma, Sneller and Witwer offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 220.
A resolution to declare January 30-February 5, 2022, as Catholic Schools Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, There are 47,842 students attending 215 Catholic elementary and high schools throughout our great state; and
Whereas, The Constitution of Michigan states that “Religion, morality and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged”; and
Whereas, Catholic school parents pay tuition in addition to supporting their local public schools through their taxes; and
Whereas, Catholic schools comply with the same health, safety, and general welfare regulations required of public schools; and
Whereas, Taking into account Michigan’s minimum public school foundation allowance of $8,700 per pupil, Catholic schools save taxpayers more than $416 million in state spending annually; and
Whereas, Catholic schools instill a broad, values-based education, emphasizing the lifelong development of moral, intellectual, and social values in young people, making them responsible citizens of our state and nation; and
Whereas, Catholic schools educate many students who are non-Catholic and many students who are economically disadvantaged as a good education remains the single best way out of poverty; and
Whereas, With their traditionally high academic standards, high graduation rates, and commitment to community service, Catholic schools and their graduates make a positive contribution to society; and
Whereas, January 30-February 5, 2022, has been designated as Catholic Schools Week, with the theme “Catholic Schools: Faith. Excellence. Service.” as denoted by the National Catholic Educational Association and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops; and
Whereas, The common good of the state of Michigan is strengthened through the continued existence of Catholic schools; and
Whereas Catholic schools are
committed to community service, producing graduates who hold “helping others”
among their core values; and
Whereas, Catholic schools create a supporting partnership with each student’s family, encouraging the involvement of parents in the education of their children, so that Catholic schools form productive lives which benefit future generations; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 30‑February 5, 2022, as Catholic Schools Week in the state of Michigan. We support the continued dedication of Catholic schools across Michigan toward academic excellence and the key role Catholic schools play in promoting and ensuring a brighter, stronger future for students; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Catholic Conference with our highest esteem.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Anthony, Cynthia Johnson, Brabec, Hood, Rogers, Brixie, Scott, Breen, Hope, Peterson, Steckloff, Garza, Tyrone Carter, Cavanagh, Cherry, Haadsma, Kuppa, Sneller, Sowerby, Stone, Weiss and Young offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 221.
A resolution to declare youth violence in Michigan a public health epidemic.
Whereas, Youth violence is defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as the intentional use of physical force or power by young people ages 10 to 24 to threaten or harm others, generally within the same age or peer group. Youth violence negatively impacts all types of communities, though the extent and types of youth violence vary; and
Whereas, Evidence shows that youth violence is relatively common in the United States. According to the CDC, nearly 1 in 5 high school students reported being bullied on school property in the last year, and about 1 in 7 were bullied electronically. Homicide remains the third leading cause of death for people ages 10 to 24. Nationally each day, about 13 young people are victims of homicide and about 1,100 are treated in emergency departments for nonfatal assault-related injuries; and
Whereas, Youth violence impacts communities across the state of Michigan. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 22 percent of public school students in grades 9 through 12 in Michigan reported having been bullied on school property or electronically in 2017, while 24 percent reported having been in at least one physical fight. In addition, some law enforcement agencies in Michigan have reported an increase in violent incidents among youth since the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic; and
Whereas, Gun violence in particular has a devastating effect on youth in Michigan. According to the organization Every Town for Gun Safety, guns are the second leading cause of death among children and teens in Michigan. In addition, an average of 89 children and teens die by guns every year in Michigan, and 52 percent of these deaths are homicides; and
Whereas, Youth violence can negatively impact the physical and mental health of young people. Youth violence has been shown to lead to many long-term negative health and behavioral outcomes including higher rates of smoking, substance use, obesity, high-risk sexual behavior, depression, academic difficulty, school drop-out, and suicide. In addition, those involved in youth violence are more likely to become both perpetrators and victims of violence in the future; and
Whereas, The negative effect of youth violence extends to the entire community. Violence generally increases healthcare costs, decreases property value, and disrupts social services by straining community resources. In addition, youth violence can impact the perceived and actual safety within a community, which can then lessen participation in community events and decrease the viability of local businesses; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we recognize the magnitude of the crisis of youth violence in Michigan and declare it to be a public health epidemic.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Health Policy.

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
HB 4953 requires MDE to create and
distribute a packet of information about post-secondary school career and
educational options. While I agree with the concept of this bill, the majority
of data required to be provided is housed under LEO or another department, not
MDE. Much of the information is not currently tracked at all at the state
level. As such, I think that it would be better to make the collection of
information for the packet the responsibility of LEO with the assistance of MDE
to distribute. Additionally, it is critical to ensure that there are enough
resources and FTEs within the department to be able to effectively collect and
distribute this information.”

Reps. Cavanagh, Rogers and Weiss having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on House Bills
5433, 5434 and 5435 because they amount to a separation of powers issue. These
bills direct the state to perform duties exclusively assigned to the federal
government. The state cannot ensure that the fee for a required examination
under the act is approved for funding, as is required in the bill language,
because that determination is made at the federal level. This bill will only
duplicate work already being performed, conflict with federal and existing
state processes, and mislead veterans.”
Rep. Young, 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:
I support our Veterans, however I voted no on House Bills 5433, 5434 and 5435 because these bills amount to a separation of powers issue. They direct the state to perform duties exclusively assigned to the federal government. The state cannot ensure that the fee for a required examination under the act is approved for funding, as is required in the bill language, because that determination is made at the federal level. These bills will only duplicate work already being performed, conflict with federal and existing state processes, and cause confusion for our veterans.”
Rep. Stone, 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:
While I appreciate and fully heartedly support the federally funding of the GI Bill, this is a federal initiative that is federally funded and belongs in Congress. I’m so glad that Michigan service members can benefit training programs, exams, and licensure utilizing the funding of the GI Bill.”
House Bill No. 5434, entitled
