Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Beeler, Bezotte, Brann, Breen, Haadsma, Marino, Sabo, Sneller and Thanedar offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 255.

A resolution to declare March 2022 as Athletic Trainer Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Athletic trainers have a long history of providing quality health care for many types of patients and have acquired specific knowledge and skills through their nationally regulated educational processes; and

Whereas, Nearly 1,700 athletic trainers are licensed in the state of Michigan to provide healthcare services including risk management and injury prevention, clinical evaluation and assessment, immediate care and treatment, and the rehabilitation and reconditioning of an individual’s injury or illness, or both, and provide these services under the direction of, on the prescription of, or in collaboration with a physician; and

Whereas, The National Athletic Trainers Association is the professional organization serving 45,000 certified athletic trainers, students of athletic training, and other health care professionals worldwide in “Providing Health Care Everywhere” including professional and Olympic sports, colleges and universities, high schools, clinics, rural and urban hospitals, urgent and ambulatory care centers, corporate and industrial settings, performing arts centers, military branches, police and fire departments and physician practices; and

Whereas, Leading organizations concerned with athletic training and health care have joined together in a common desire to raise public awareness of the importance of the athletic training profession and to emphasize the importance of quality health care within the aforementioned settings. Such an effort will promote the athletic training profession and provide compassionate health care for all; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representative, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2022 as Athletic Trainer Month in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Kuppa, Stone, Brenda Carter, Cynthia Johnson, Pohutsky, Anthony, Hood, Ellison, Neeley, Scott, LaGrand, Coleman, Liberati, Sowerby, Rogers, Hertel, Hope, Aiyash, Bezotte, Breen, Haadsma, Koleszar, Rabhi, Sabo, Sneller, Thanedar, Weiss and Young offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 256.

A resolution to declare March 22, 2022, as Michigan Water Day and World Water Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Since 1993, the United Nations has designated March 22nd as World Water Day. In 2010, the United Nations acknowledged “the importance of equitable access to safe and clean drinking water and sanitation as an integral component of the realization of all human rights”; and

Whereas, The theme of World Water Day 2022 is ‘Groundwater: Making the Invisible Visible;’ and

Whereas, Michigan’s groundwater and surface water are connected as part of the water cycle and need to be protected holistically; and

Whereas, Groundwater flow that discharges to lakes and streams sustains cold water fisheries, stream ecology, and wetlands, and also accounts for approximately 25% of the volume of the Great Lakes, the world’s largest and most magnificent freshwater system; and

Whereas, Michigan’s groundwater provides drinking water to 45% of Michigan’s population from private wells and municipal supplies, while surface water is the source of drinking water for the remainder of the population, primarily through municipal supplies; and

Whereas, Regardless of whether they use groundwater or surface water, all Michiganders have a human right to clean, safe, and affordable drinking water; and

Whereas, Contamination of groundwater has occurred in over 10,000 locations in Michigan. In some of these locations, Michiganders are barred from using groundwater as drinking water; and

Whereas, Michigan’s water infrastructure financing must include multi-billion-dollar investments in protecting drinking water sources and supply systems associated with both groundwater and surface water, and

Whereas, Water services should meet the needs of all Michiganders, including those who are the most vulnerable, so that their voices are heard in the decision-making process; and

Whereas, The Anishinaabek, the original people of the Great Lakes region, have a special relationship with the water and believe and teach that water is necessary to sustain them both spiritually and physically. Based on these fundamental values, Anishinaabek people prioritize ensuring that the waters of the Great Lakes are healthy and clean for future generations; and

Whereas, On admission to statehood, Michigan became the owner as sovereign to the waters of the Great Lakes and groundwater and holds them under the public trust doctrine for the benefit of the people of the state of Michigan, and

Whereas, Article IV, Section 52 of the Michigan Constitution holds that it is a “paramount public concern” of government to conserve and develop natural resources while protecting water and other natural resources from pollution, impairment, and destruction; and

Whereas, The Michigan Environmental Protection Act calls for “protection of the air, water, and other natural resources and the public trust in these resources from pollution, impairment, or destruction” by government; and

Whereas, The waters of the Great Lakes and Michigan’s tributary rivers, streams, and groundwater are a globally unique freshwater system and a magnificent and unparalleled natural resource endowment; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 22, 2022, as Michigan Water Day and World Water Day in the state of Michigan. It is with great honor and appreciation that we take this time to join other states and nations in expressing our commitment to ensuring that groundwater is fully protected; that safe, clean, and affordable drinking water is available to all Michiganders from both surface water and groundwater; and commit ourselves to promoting public awareness to prevent our precious water from pollution and depletion. On this day, we will celebrate and honor the pure water in our state, our country, and our world; and be it further

Resolved, While we recognize the interconnectedness of humanity and appreciate global challenges, we also recognize our duty as Michiganders in protecting our natural resources and instilling a sense of pride in ourselves and our children for our Great Lakes; and be it further

Resolved, That we cherish and acknowledge the special responsibility of protecting Michigan’s waters for current and future generations.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Hertel, Brabec, Young, Cavanagh, Sowerby, Hope, Manoogian, Pohutsky, Brenda Carter, Rabhi, Weiss, Stone, Tate, Kuppa, Steckloff, Morse, Hood, Breen, Hertel, Tyrone Carter, Shannon, Aiyash, Puri, Rogers, Lasinski, Neeley, Haadsma, Ellison, Thanedar, LaGrand, Koleszar, Scott, Brixie, Garza, Cynthia Johnson, Anthony, Yancey, Bezotte and Sneller offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 257.

A resolution to encourage educational institutions and local governments to help register eligible students to vote.

Whereas, Voting is perhaps the most important type of civic engagement, as our democracy is built upon citizens exercising their right of franchise. Through voting, we elect leaders and lawmakers; make public policy decisions; and express opinions at the national, state, and local levels that define and drive our society; and

Whereas, Younger people consistently have the lowest voter registration and turnout rates among age groups across the country, but voting is a habit that can be engrained in youth and lead to further civic engagement. Teenagers and young adults should be encouraged to vote early on; and

Whereas, Our educational institutions and local governments hold positions and have ties in the community that can be leveraged to foster voter registration among students. Centers of education, such as high schools, colleges and universities, and adult education programs, can help eligible students register to vote. Local governments, namely election clerks, can directly get students registered to vote; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we encourage educational institutions and local governments to help register eligible students to vote; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Association of Counties, the Michigan Municipal League, the Michigan Townships Association, the Michigan Association of County Clerks, the Michigan Association of Municipal Clerks, the Michigan Association of State Universities, Michigan Independent Colleges and Universities, the Michigan Colleges Alliance, the Michigan Community College Association, and the Michigan Association of Secondary School Principals.
