Rep. Christine Morse, from the 61st District, offered the following invocation:

 

“Desiderata

GO PLACIDLY amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

By Max Ehrmann © 1927.”

Rep. Yaroch, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

Opioids have had a devastating effect on all our communities. Unfortunately, our Attorney General negotiated a settlement that excludes small communities of less than 10,000 people from receiving direct assistance unless that community was part of the original suit. Our Attorney General is sending a clear message that the lives of people in small town USA do not matter as much as those who live in the suburbs and the big cities.”

House Resolution No. 277.

A resolution to declare April 28, 2022, as Holocaust Remembrance Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The horrors of the Holocaust should never be forgotten. The Holocaust was the state-sponsored systematic persecution and annihilation of European Jewry by Nazi Germany and its collaborators during the years 1933 through 1945. This resulted in the extermination of six million Jews and their potential descendants. The world’s Jewish population was reduced by one-third. Poland, home to the largest Jewish community before World War II, lost 90 percent of its Jewish population. Greece, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Lithuania, Bohemia, the Netherlands, Slovakia and Latvia each lost more than 70 percent of their Jewish population; and

Whereas, Millions more suffered grievous oppression and death under Nazi tyranny based on their religion, including Catholic priests, Christian pastors, and Jehovah’s Witnesses; their national origin, including Poles, Soviets, Ukrainians and Serbs; their ethnicity and culture, including the Romani people; their political beliefs, including courageous resisters and government dissidents; their physical appearance, including those with disabilities; and their sexual orientation and gender identity; and

 Whereas, The history of the Holocaust allows us to reflect on the moral and ethical responsibilities of individuals, societies, and governments. It also serves as an important reminder of what can happen when we allow bigotry, hatred, and indifference to enter and conquer our societies. It is crucial to educate all citizens about the horrors of genocide and to instill values of tolerance and acceptance in our state’s ever-changing and diverse population; and  

Whereas, The Michigan Legislature enacted PA 170 of 2016, which provided that the board of a school district or board of directors of a public school academy shall ensure that the school district’s or public school academy’s social studies curriculum for grades 8 to 12 includes age, and grade, appropriate instruction about genocide, including, but not limited to, the Holocaust and the Armenian Genocide; and

Whereas, PA 170 of 2016 also created the Governor’s Council on Genocide and Holocaust Education, a temporary commission, whose tasks included identifying and notifying schools about resources for teaching about genocide and the Holocaust; and to engender and coordinate events, activities, and education that will appropriately memorialize the victims of the Holocaust, such as observance of Holocaust Remembrance Day; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 28, 2022, as Holocaust Remembrance Day in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That in honor of the victims of the Holocaust, the survivors, and their liberators, the citizens of Michigan should reflect upon this terrible event and strive to overcome hatred and intolerance through learning and remembrance.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

Reps. Young, Pohutsky, Rendon, Whiteford, Kahle, Tyrone Carter, Anthony, Brenda Carter, Green, O’Malley, Aiyash, Neeley, Camilleri, Morse, Scott, Puri, Manoogian, Rabhi, LaGrand, Stone, Kuppa, Bolden, Wakeman, Weiss, Koleszar, Sabo, Hertel, O’Neal, Rogers, Hope, Thanedar, Steenland, Jones, Liberati, Garza, Brixie, Haadsma, Brabec, Clemente, Ellison, Cavanagh, Lasinski, Breen, Hood, Sowerby and Witwer offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 278.

A resolution to declare May 2022 as Foster Care Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Recognizing National Foster Care Awareness Month is an opportunity to shine a light on the challenges children in the foster care system face and encouraging the Legislature to implement policy to improve the lives of children in the foster care system; and

Whereas, It is also a time to acknowledge foster parents, family members, volunteers, mentors, policymakers, and child welfare professionals who help children and youth in foster care find permanent homes and connections. We use this time to renew our commitment to ensuring a bright future for the more than 426,000 children and youth in foster care and we celebrate those who make a meaningful difference in their lives; and

Whereas, Children in foster care who are placed with relatives, compared to children placed with nonrelatives, have more stability, including fewer changes in placements, have more positive perceptions of their placements, are more likely to be placed with their siblings, and demonstrate fewer behavioral problems; and

Whereas, An increased emphasis on prevention and reunification services is necessary to reduce the number of children that are forced to remain in the foster care system; and

Whereas, More than 20,000 youth “age out” of foster care every year without a legal permanent connection to an adult or family, according to the Annie E. Casey Foundation; and

Whereas, Children who age out of foster care lack the security and support of a biological or adoptive family and frequently struggle to secure affordable housing, obtain health insurance, pursue higher education, and acquire adequate employment; and

Whereas, Studies show that before the pandemic, with no parent to turn to, 20 percent of foster care youth become homeless the day they age out of foster care, which is sadly on their 18th birthday; and

Whereas, Children entering foster care often confront the widespread misperception that children in foster care are disruptive, unruly, and dangerous, even though placement in foster care is based on the actions of a parent or guardian, not the child; and

Whereas, According to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, children in foster care may be at greater risk for mental health problems; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2022 as Foster Care Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We encourage more citizens to volunteer their time to become mentors to children in foster care and we realize that the state of Michigan must do more to support these children and prepare them to live healthy and productive lives.

House Resolution No. 279.

A resolution to declare April 28, 2022, as Negro Leaguers Baseball Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Even though African-Americans were excluded from playing in the Major Leagues of their time with their white counterparts, the desire of many African-Americans to play baseball could not be repressed; and

Whereas, Major League Baseball did not fully integrate its leagues until July 1959; and

Whereas, African-Americans began organizing their own professional baseball teams in 1885; and

Whereas, The skills and abilities of Negro League players eventually made Major League Baseball realize the need to integrate the sport; and

Whereas, Seven separate baseball leagues, known collectively as the “Negro Baseball Leagues”, were organized by African-Americans between 1920 and 1960; and

Whereas, The Negro Baseball Leagues included exceptionally talented players who played the game at its highest level; and

Whereas, On May 2, 1920, the Negro National League, the first successful Negro League, played its first game; and

Whereas, Andrew “Rube” Foster founded the Negro National League on February 13, 1920, at the Paseo YMCA in Kansas City, Missouri, and also managed and played for the Chicago American Giants, and was later inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame; and

Whereas, Leroy “Satchel” Paige, who began his long career in the Negro Leagues and did not make his Major League debut until the age of 42, is considered one of the greatest pitchers the game has ever seen. During his long career, Paige thrilled millions of baseball fans with his skill and legendary showboating. His exemplary tenure began with winning his first big league victory in his first game on July 15, 1948. This momentous moment helped the Cleveland Indians on the road to winning the pennant the same year. He was later inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame; and

Whereas, Josh Gibson, who was the greatest slugger of the Negro Leagues, tragically died months before the integration of baseball, and was later inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame; and

Whereas, Jackie Robinson, whose career began with the Negro League Kansas City Monarchs, became the first African-American to play in the Major Leagues in April 1947, was named Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year in 1947, subsequently led the Brooklyn Dodgers to 6 National League pennants and a World Series championship, and was later inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame; and

Whereas, Larry Doby, whose career began with the Negro League Newark Eagles, became the first African‑American to play in the American League in July 1947, was an All-Star 7 times in the Major Leagues and 2-time American league home run leader, and was later inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame; and

Whereas, John Jordan “Buck” O’Neil was a player and manager of the Negro League Kansas City Monarchs, became the first African-American coach in the Major Leagues with the Chicago Cubs in 1962, served on the Veterans Committee of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, chaired the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum Board of Directors, and worked tirelessly to promote the history of the Negro Leagues; and

Whereas, James ‘‘Cool Papa’’ Bell played, coached, and managed in the Negro Leagues from 1922 to 1950, discovered, trained, and assisted numerous Negro League players into the Major Leagues, and was later inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame; and

Whereas, Minnie Minoso, the ‘‘Cuban Comet,’’ played on the New York Cubans when they won the Negro League World Series, broke the color barrier on the Chicago White Sox when he joined the team in 1951, and was the first black Latino to play in the Major Leagues; and

Whereas, The talents of such players as Josh Gibson, James ‘‘Cool Papa’’ Bell, and Oscar Charleston earned them recognition in the Baseball Hall of Fame as well as the Sporting News List of Baseball Greatest Players; and

Whereas, Auto Zone Park in Memphis, Tennessee, hosted the inaugural Civil Rights Game between the defending World Champion St. Louis Cardinals and the Cleveland Indians in commemoration of the civil rights movement, on March 31, 2007; and

Whereas, Michigan made significant contributions to the Negro Leagues. The Detroit Stars, founded in 1919 by Tenny Blount and the father of black baseball Rube Foster, was a prominent charter member of the league. All but two of the seasons they played were winning seasons. They produced numerous Hall of Fame inductees, including Turkey Stearnes and Andy “Lefty” Cooper; and

Whereas, By achieving success on the baseball field, African-American baseball players helped break down color barriers and integrate African-Americans into all aspects of society in the United States: now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 28, 2022, as Negro Leaguers Baseball Day in the state of Michigan. We recognize the teams and players of the Negro Baseball Leagues for their achievements, dedication, sacrifices, and contributions to both baseball and our nation.

House Resolution No. 280.

A resolution to declare April 29, 2022, as Arbor Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, In 1872, the first Arbor Day was established as a special day to be set aside for the planting of trees in the territory of Nebraska; and

Whereas, Michigan native J. Sterling Morton championed the first Arbor Day in Nebraska; and

Whereas, In 1885, the Michigan Legislature resolved there will be a special day dedicated to the importance of planting trees known as Arbor Day; and

Whereas, Arbor Day is now observed throughout the nation and the world; and

Whereas, Trees benefit society and the environment by reducing the erosion of our precious topsoil by wind and water, cutting heating and cooling costs, moderating the temperature, filtering the air, producing life-giving oxygen, and providing habitat for wildlife; and

Whereas, Trees are a renewable resource that provide paper, fuel, and wood for construction and other wood products; and

Whereas, Trees in our cities increase property values, enhance the economic vitality of business areas, and beautify our communities; and

Whereas, Trees, wherever they are planted, are a source of joy and renewal; now, therefore, be it

House Resolution No. 281.

Whereas, The state of Michigan is fortunate to be home to more than 330,000 residents of Asian and Pacific Island descent; and

Whereas, Asian Pacific Americans comprise one of the fastest-growing populations in both the state and the nation. In fact, this group is the largest-growing population in Michigan according to the last U.S. Census; and

Whereas, The Asian and Pacific Island regions are tremendously diverse, with more than thirty countries, numerous languages, and multiple belief systems; and

Whereas, Citizens of Asian and Pacific Island descent in each generation, from the laborers who connected our coasts one and a half centuries ago to the patriots who fought overseas while their families were interned at home, to the entrepreneurs and engineers who help our economy thrive, and our healthcare professionals who have served to ensure public health during the pandemic, these patriotic Americans have enhanced our culture, quality of life, and economic vitality through leadership, commitments to knowledge, education, and advancement, and dedication to their communities; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan and the United States of America have been enriched by the contributions of Asian Pacific Americans in all facets of life, including the arts, sciences, business, education, and philanthropy. Michigan has recognized the contributions Asian Pacific Americans and other immigrants make to our economy with the establishment of the Michigan Asian Pacific American Affairs Commission and Office of Global Michigan; and

Whereas, The culture and contributions of our Asian and Pacific Island residents will continue to grow in significance as more Asian Pacific Americans choose to make Michigan their home and as our economy becomes increasingly intertwined with the economies throughout Asia; and

Whereas, Asian Pacific Americans, through advocating issues of justice and equality, continue to break down the barriers of discrimination, indifference, and intolerance, thereby opening doors for all Asian Pacific Americans; and

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2022 as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in the state of Michigan.

House Concurrent Resolution No. 17.

A concurrent resolution to urge swift action to appropriate the remaining federal pandemic relief funds.

Whereas, The federal government has enacted several pandemic relief laws, including the American Rescue Plan Act and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, among others. These federal relief packages provided crucial economic support to communities in need. Most recently, the state of Michigan received over $6.5 billion from the American Rescue Plan Act; and

Whereas, The Michigan Legislature has used funds from the American Rescue Plan Act to provide for various improvements across the state in areas such as health, housing, and labor. Specifically, with the recent passage of Senate Bill 565 of 2021, the Michigan Legislature appropriated $4.7 billion gross, including $2.0 billion from the Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund established under the American Rescue Plan Act, to improve infrastructure. The appropriation allows for the improvement of clean water infrastructure, broadband service, and residential clean energy; and

Whereas, Approximately $2.8 billion of funding under the American Rescue Plan Act remains unappropriated. These funds must be obligated by December 31, 2024 and spent by December 31, 2026. With this funding, the Michigan Legislature is uniquely situated to transform our state and local communities. The negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic remain, and it is the duty of Michigan’s elected leaders to provide much needed relief to the individuals and small businesses that have suffered these effects; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we urge swift action to appropriate the remaining federal pandemic relief funds; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor, the Speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives, the Senate Majority Leader, the House Minority Caucus Leader, and the Senate Minority Caucus Leader.

Messages from the Senate

 

 

this resolution is offered to comply with article xi, section 5 of the constitution of the state of michigan of 1963.

 

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 25.

A concurrent resolution to waive the legislative notice requirement for increases in rates of compensation for certain employees in the state classified service.

Whereas, Article XI, Section 5 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 provides, in relevant part:

Increases in rates of compensation authorized by the commission may be effective only at the start of a fiscal year and shall require prior notice to the governor, who shall transmit such increases to the legislature as part of his budget. The legislature may, by a majority vote of the members elected to and serving in each house, waive the notice and permit increases in rates of compensation to be effective at a time other than the start of a fiscal year.

; and

Whereas, As a result of recently completed negotiations, a settlement has been reached on a contract between the state and the Michigan State Police Troopers Association regarding compensation and other terms and conditions of employment. This settlement was reached past the time when the Governor could transmit the increase as part of the budget; and

Whereas, The State Personnel Director, with the consent of the chair of the Civil Service Commission, granted interim approval of the collective bargaining agreement on February 8, 2022; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That, pursuant to Article XI, Section 5 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963, we waive the prior notice requirement to permit increases in rates of compensation for certain members of the Department of State Police as set in the contract settled between the Michigan State Police Troopers Association and the state and the Civil Service Commission; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the members of the Civil Service Commission.

The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.
