Lord, we come to You this morning at the 10 o’clock hour on June 8, 2021, and You have told us in Ecclesiastes 3:
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
Lord, thank You for these words and may they guide us throughout this day. This we ask in Your name. Amen.

Resolutions
Senate Resolution No. 62.
A resolution to recognize June 15, 2021, as Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
Whereas, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day was first announced by the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA), the World Health Organization (WHO), and others at the United Nations (UN), on June 15, 2006; and
Whereas, According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), elder abuse is an intentional act or failure to act that causes or creates a risk of harm to an older adult, often occurring at the hands of a caregiver or a trusted individual; and
Whereas, According to the National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA), elder abuse typically takes one of five forms: neglect, physical, psychological and emotional, sexual, or financial abuse; and
Whereas, Elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation have no boundaries and cross all racial, social, class, gender, and geographic lines; and
Whereas, In 2018, there were 52.4 million adults 65 years of age and older in the United States, and by 2040, that number is expected to climb to 80 million, comprising nearly 21 percent of the total population; and
Whereas, Each year, more than 1 in 10 people over the age of 60 are victims of elder abuse. The vast majority of elder abuse cases in the United States go unidentified and under-reported; and
Whereas, Reports of elder abuse are increasing due to several factors, including more people living longer, a rise in isolation among the senior population, and an increase in the amount of wealth seniors have accumulated throughout their life; and
Whereas, Older adults who have suffered from abuse are more likely to die earlier than older adults that have not; and
Whereas, Public awareness as well as state and community outreach can increase the identification and reporting of elder abuse by the public, professionals, and victims, and can act as a catalyst to promote issue‑based education and long-term prevention; and
Whereas, Members of the public and professionals who work with older adults are encouraged to recognize, detect, report, and respond to elder abuse while also promoting awareness and long-term prevention of elder abuse by reaching out to local adult protective services agencies, long-term care ombudsman programs, the sixteen National Area Agencies on Aging (n4a) across the state, and the NCEA; and
Whereas, Individuals and public agencies must work together at the federal, state, and local levels to combat increasing occurrences of abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence against vulnerable older adults, particularly considering the limited resources for vital protective services; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate,
That the members of this legislative body recognize June 15, 2021, as Elder
Abuse Awareness Day; and be it further
Resolved, That we recognize judges, lawyers, adult protective services professionals, law enforcement officers, long-term care ombudsmen, social workers, health care providers, professional guardians, advocates for victims, and other professionals and agencies for their efforts to advance awareness and prevention of elder abuse.
Senator Lauwers moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Wojno’s statement is as follows:
I do want to thank so many of my colleagues in joining me in co-sponsoring this resolution to establish June 15th, 2021 as Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Estimates show that 1 in 10 persons over the age of 60 are victims of elder abuse each year and the vast majority of abuse, neglect, and exploitation of older adults goes unidentified and underreported. Elder abuse has no boundaries and crosses racial, social, class, gender, and geographic lines. Elder abuse typically takes one of five forms: physical abuse, sexual abuse, financial abuse, neglect, and psychological and emotional abuse. Private individuals and public agencies must continue to work together at the federal, state, and local levels to combat increasing occurrences of abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence against vulnerable older adults. I want to acknowledge our judges, lawyers, adult protective services professionals, law enforcement, the Long Term Care Ombudsman, social workers, health care providers, guardians, and senior agencies for their efforts and support of this resolution to advance awareness and prevention of elder abuse. Colleagues, I ask all of you for your support.
Senate Resolution No. 63.
A resolution to recognize June 12, 2021, as Women Veterans Recognition Day.
Whereas, Women have proudly served their country throughout all periods of the history of the United States, whether disguised as male soldiers during the American Revolution and Civil War, as nurses in World War I, or as combat helicopter pilots in Afghanistan; and
Whereas, Women have formally been a part of the United States Armed Forces since the inception of the Army Nurse Corps in 1901, but have informally served since the inception of our nation’s military; and
Whereas, During the American Revolution, women served on the battlefield alongside the men, mainly as nurses, water bearers, often called “Molly Pitchers,” cooks, laundresses, and saboteurs. Despite Army regulations that only men could enlist, women who wanted to join in the fighting circumvented the rules by masquerading as young men or boys; and
Whereas, In 1917, the Navy announced it would open enlistment to women. About 12,000 female yeomen entered the Navy and filled a variety of jobs including draftsmen, interpreters, couriers, and translators; and
Whereas, During World War I, 307 women enlisted in the Marine Corps. Like their sisters in the Navy, they were limited to the enlisted ranks and worked mainly in Washington, D.C., doing various administrative jobs. Women’s service contributions in World War I showed that they either had, or could quickly learn, nontraditional skills needed by the military; and
Whereas, Following Pearl Harbor, Congress authorized new components for women’s services that increased the number of active duty positions in the Army and Navy Nurse Corps. In May 1942, the Army was given the authority to establish the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC). The Navy, Coast Guard, and Marine Corps followed suit, but rather than making women an auxiliary component, they opted to enroll them in the reserves on the same basis as their male counterparts, while the Army Air Forces enlisted nearly 1,100 female civilian volunteers who earned their silver wings as Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP); and
Whereas, At the end of World War II in 1945, of the approximately 12 million people remaining in the Armed Forces, about 280,000 were women; and
Whereas, With the passage
of the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act of 1948, women became a permanent
part of the United States military but continued to be restricted to two
percent of the military population. That restriction was finally lifted in 1967
with an amendment to the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act, which also
opened senior officer ranks to women; and
Whereas, The early 1990s were a historic time in the military with over 40,000 women deploying in support of the Persian Gulf War, making women service members more visible in the eyes of the public. In addition, the Defense Authorization Act of 1992 repealed combat exclusion laws that had prevented women from flying combat aircrafts; and
Whereas, Women who served in the United States military were often referred to as the “invisible veterans” because their service contributions, until the 1970s, went largely unrecognized by politicians, the media, academia, and the general public; and
Whereas, Even though women have been officially serving in the military since the creation of the Army Nurse Corps in 1901, they have not always been considered qualified for veteran status for the purpose of receiving benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Even after women were granted veteran status, issues of access, exclusion, and improper management of their health care remained; and
Whereas, It was not until well after World War II that women who served in the military began to officially be recognized as veterans; and
Whereas, In the late 1970s and early 1980s, many of the contributions made by women in World War II were formally recognized through laws granting these women official veteran status for their service. This opened the doors for women to take advantage of programs, opportunities, and benefits from the federal and state governments, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and other veteran service organizations; and
Whereas, Over the past 20 years, the Veteran Health Administration (VHA) has introduced initiatives designed to improve health care access and quality of care for women veterans; and
Whereas, In 2008, VHA’s Women Veterans Health Strategic Health Care Group began a five-year plan to redesign the nation’s health care delivery system for women. A fundamental component of this plan is to ensure that all women veterans have access to comprehensive primary care from skilled women’s health providers; and
Whereas, Originally, the 1980 decennial census marked the first time that information on women veterans was ever captured in a large national survey. At the time of the 1980 decennial census, women made up just over two percent of the veteran population. Today, that proportion has increased to almost eight percent; and
Whereas, There are currently over two million women veterans living in the United States and Puerto Rico. Of this number, nearly 44,000 make Michigan their home; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That members of this legislative body recognize June 12, 2021, as Women Veterans Recognition Day; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge all Michiganders to honor women veterans on this momentous occasion.
Senator Lauwers moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
Senators Chang, Bayer, Bullock and Bizon were named co-sponsors of the resolution.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Brinks’ statement is as follows:
Today I offer this resolution to recognize June 12, 2021 as Women
Veterans Recognition Day in the state of Michigan. Women who have served in the
United States military are often referred to as invisible veterans because
their service contributions, until the late 1970s, went largely unrecognized by
politicians, the media, academia, and the general public. Even though women
have been officially serving in the military since the creation of the Army
Nurse Corps in 1901, they have not always been considered qualified for veteran
status for the purpose of receiving benefits from the Department of Veterans
Affairs. Even after women were granted veteran status, issues of access,
exclusion, and improper management of their health care remained. In the 1970s
and early 1980s, many of the contributions made by women in World War II were
formally recognized through laws that granted these women with veteran status
for their time in service. This opened doors for women to take advantage of
programs, opportunities, and benefits from the federal and state governments,
the Department of Veterans Affairs, and other veteran service organizations.
Women are the fastest-growing subset of the veteran population. They serve in
every branch of the military, in multiple military occupational specialties and
roles. Please join me in honoring those who have served by paying tribute to
these heroes. I welcome and encourage your co-sponsorship.
