Rep. Ben Frederick, from the 85th District, offered the following invocation:
“Heavenly Father, we praise You and we thank You.
We acknowledge and pay tribute to the burden of service You’ve placed upon the hearts of the men and women in this chamber.
We ask that, in pursuing this burden in our individual mission fields, we consistently do so in fellowship with You and in keeping with Your will.
Let us proceed with confidence and conviction through grace and - be salt and light.
Your word does not say we are ‘called’ to be salt and light, rather, it says we ‘are’ the salt of the earth and the light of the world - by virtue of our followership and fellowship with You and through Your divine grace. It is not for us to strive toward our worldly futility, but to simply be - in our words and deeds - salt and light.
May it be so and - may we rest in the blessed assurance granted us in Your boundless mercy.
We raise these words in Christ’s name. Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 238.
A resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for Barbara-Rose Collins, former member of the Michigan House of Representatives and the United States House of Representatives.
Whereas, It is with great sorrow that the members of the House of Representatives learned about the passing of Barbara-Rose Collins. A lifelong resident of Detroit, she will be remembered as a dedicated public servant devoted to the residents of the 21st District; and
Whereas, A graduate of Detroit’s Cass Technical High School, Barbara-Rose Collins attended Wayne State University, where she majored in political science and anthropology. Representative Collins became inspired by public service after attending a historic speech on Black freedom and grassroots activism in Detroit; and
Whereas, Representative Collins started her public career in 1971 when she was elected to the Detroit Public School Board. She then successfully ran for the Michigan House of Representatives in 1974 and served for seven years. Legislation she sponsored over her tenure, including Public Acts to require last date of sale on perishable foods, establish guidelines for birth control education in schools, and prohibit discrimination against women in insurance coverage by employers, demonstrated her commitment to social justice and equality. In addition, she served on the Constitutional Revision and Women’s Rights, House Policy, Public Health, and Urban Affairs committees; and
Whereas, As the first Black Congresswoman from Michigan, Barbara-Rose Collins continued her fight for safety and equality for vulnerable populations. She represented the Detroit area in Congress for three terms from 1991 to 1996. During that time, she raised awareness of food deficiencies in urban areas and protested for the rights of Haitian refugees. Her legislative efforts focused on what she termed “city issues” of crime, homelessness, poverty, and domestic and other types of violence; and
Whereas, In addition to her service in the
Michigan House of Representatives and Congress, Representative Collins
also served on the Detroit City Council from 1982 to 1990 and 2001 to 2009; and
Whereas, While working hard as an elected official, Barbara-Rose Collins continued to advocate for her community in other capacities, including as commissioner of the Humans Rights Commission of Detroit and as chair of the Detroit City Council Task Force on Teenage Violence; and
Whereas, Described as a trailblazer and pioneer, Barbara-Rose Collins was devoted to her work. She deftly balanced her passion for her constituents with effective problem-solving skills. She could spar with her colleagues on a particular topic and then jovially invite them to dinner afterwards. Her ability to balance the business aspects of work with social relationships made her an effective champion for the downtrodden, and she will remain a role model for young women interested in pursuing public office; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Barbara-Rose Collins, a member of the House of Representatives from 1975 to 1981 and the United States House of Representatives from 1991 to 1996; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Collins family as evidence of our lasting esteem for her memory.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.
______

House Resolution No. 239.
A resolution to declare February 24, 2022, as Public Schools Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, We acknowledge that February 21 through February 25, 2022 is National Public Schools Week; and
Whereas, Public education is the foundation of a 21st-century democracy; and
Whereas, The nation’s public schools are where students come to be educated as citizens of the United States; and
Whereas, Each public school prepares our young people to contribute to the society, economy, and citizenry of the country; and
Whereas, Local, state, and federal lawmakers should prioritize support for strengthening the nation’s public schools and empower local education leaders to implement, manage, and lead school districts in partnership with educators, parents, and other local education stakeholders and learning communities; and
Whereas, Policymakers should support such necessities as counseling, extracurricular activities, and mental health supports that are critical to help students engage in learning; and
Whereas, Inclusive and safe high-quality public schools are where children learn to think critically, problem solve, and build relationships; and
Whereas, Public schools should provide an environment where all students can succeed beginning in their earliest years, regardless of who they are or where they live; and
Whereas, Efforts should be supported to advance equity and excellence in public education and to implement continuous improvement and evidence-based practices; and
Whereas, Every child has the right to an education that helps them reach their full potential and to attend schools that offer a high-quality educational experience; and
Whereas, Stable, equitable, predictable, and adequate funding for great public schools for every student in the United States is necessary to ensure that students have inviting classrooms and school libraries with up‑to-date resources as well as well-prepared and supported educators; and
Whereas, Educators include teachers, paraprofessionals, principals, and support staff who provide a well‑rounded and complete curriculum and create joy in learning; and
Whereas, Students, teachers, professionals, and support staff make the nation’s public schools vital components of the community; and
Whereas, Parents and communities are working hard to improve educational outcomes for children across the country; now, therefore be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 24, 2022, as Public Schools Day in the state of Michigan.
