Rep. Kaza, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
The University of Michigan is violating federal law through its unconstitutional use of racial quotas to pursue reverse discrimination in its admissions policies. Not only does this amendment sanction that illegal and unconstitutional policy, it seeks to extend it in to other areas, i.e., a vague multiculturalism.
Amendments like these are the reason the University of Michigan now faces a federal class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of two students denied admission as a result of U-M's illegal and constitutional policy. Back in the 1960s, the New Class mandarins now running U-M were associated with a crowd that gained fame by chanting, 'The whole world is watching' outside the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The irony is that the whole nation is watching today as these same U-M officials are dragged into federal court result because of their illegal and unconstitutional practice of reverse discrimination. The irony of these New Leftovers from the 1960s lecturing the young people challenging U-M's policy for their supposed 'apathy' is truly breathtaking in its hypocrisy.
Legally, this amendment is overly broad and vague. The phrase 'people with disabilities' could mean alcoholics, drug addicts, even those persons with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). This amendment legally binds every public university in Michigan to 'undertake active measures to promote' alcoholics, drug addicts and AIDS patients. Now that's 'affirmative action' with a vengeance! At least the sponsors are consistent; can every person who voted for this overly broad and vague amendment make the same claim? There are legal precedents for providing government benefits to these groups using the same 'people with disabilities' language. For these reasons this amendment should be rejected."
Rep. Cropsey, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted 'no' on the Hale Amendment to the Whyman Amendment to SB 911 because the amendment is poorly drafted, vague, and over broad.
The amendment says that equal opportunities must be promoted to 'women, minorities, seniors, people with disabilities, and veterans, but not limited to these groups.' Depending on the definition of 'minority,' every person could be categorized as a minority. What is the definition of 'disabilities?' Are drunks and other people who make poor lifestyle choices considered 'people with disabilities?' What other groups are included in the phrase 'not limited to these groups?'
The last part of the Hale Amendment states '(3) Each public university shall review, analyze, and eradicate activities that may tend to discriminate.' Discriminate based upon what criteria? Is this based upon the criteria in our civil rights act, or based upon this vague section, or based on any choice the higher education institution makes up for charges of discrimination?
On the positive side, under this vague language, conservatives, traditional family advocates, full-time mothers, pro-lifers, National Rifle Association members, free-market advocates, creationists, Christian-right activists, Reaganites, traditional Catholics, fundamentalists, heterosexuals, and Republicans should now be acceptable in the hallowed halls of academia because the universities will 'eradicate activities that tend to discriminate.'"

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Kaza, DeHart, Kukuk, Scranton, Goschka, Voorhees, DeVuyst, Horton, Lowe, Green, Cropsey, Vaughn, Profit and Parks offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 316.
A resolution to memorialize Congress to withhold funding of all federal projects that could be used to create a database of firearms owners and to prevent all violations of the Firearms Owner's Protection Act of 1986.
Whereas, The assembly of a database of gun owners by the federal government is prohibited by the Firearms Owner's Protection Act of 1986, 18 U.S.C. 926(a). This provision forbids the recording of firearms dealer licensee records at a government facility and forbids any system of registration of firearms, firearm owners, or firearm transactions or dispositions; and
Whereas, Beginning in Fiscal Year 1979, the Treasury Appropriations Act forbids the United States Department of Treasury's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms from consolidating or centralizing records of the acquisition or disposition of firearms by licensees; and
Whereas, Despite these prohibitions in law, the United States Department of Justice and the United States Department of Treasury have undertaken programs that violate the spirit and may violate the letter of these prohibitions; and
Whereas, On August 30, 1994, the city of Philadelphia applied for and later received a federal grant from the United States Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance to develop a computerized system to track and register all legally owned firearms within Allegheny County. This project was successfully challenged in Pennsylvania courts and disallowed; and
Whereas, Since 1992, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has been compiling a central computerized index registry of microfilm records containing the sales transaction records of federal firearms licensees (FFLs) who have gone out of business. This registry contains firearm serial numbers and firearm licensee numbers, and could be used as a database prohibited by the Firearms Owner's Protection Act of 1986; and
Whereas, The Firearms Inquiry Statistical Tracking (FIST) program, a computer software package developed by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (B.J.S.) of the United States Department of Justice and made available to Chief Law Enforcement Officers (CLEOs) throughout the country to facilitate the implementation of the record-keeping provisions of the Brady Law, will make it possible to create a central registry of all firearms purchases; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we hereby memorialize Congress to withhold funds for all federal projects that could be used to create a database prohibited by the Firearms Owner's Protection Act of 1986; and be it further
Resolved, That this legislative body hereby memorializes Congress to take steps to prevent these apparent violations of the Firearms Owner's Protection Act of 1986 from occurring and take steps to insure that both the spirit and the letter of the act are upheld by the federal government; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on House Oversight and Ethics.
Reps. Kilpatrick, Dobronski, DeHart, Voorhees, Quarles, LaForge, Cherry, Gubow, Hale, Schauer, Scott, Bodem, Vaughn, Hood, Thomas, Profit, Parks and Brater offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 317.
A resolution recognizing the efforts of the Russell Woods and Sullivan Area subdivisions.
Whereas, The Russell Woods and Sullivan Area subdivisions, bounded by Dexter Avenue, Cortland, Livernois and Davison, in Detroit, formed a coalition in 1958 to protect, develop and maintain the areas as residential neighborhoods; and
Whereas, This association is focused on adhering to the original building and use requirements, and encouraging the highest standards of community life, representing a span of thirty-two blocks of single and two family homes occupied by conscientious homeowners who take pride in working to maintain a neighborly sense of responsibility in the community and a commitment to the preservation of a viable, historic community; and
Whereas, In 1996, the Russell Woods-Sullivan Area was designated a historical area by the Detroit Historical Commission, awarding its first Tri-Umph Award to the Russell Woods-Sullivan Area Association for "upholding, maintaining and preserving the history of the area"; and
Whereas, The Association is celebrating its fortieth year of community service, working hard to fulfill, support, and adhere to the purpose and promise of the constitution while enhancing the stability and continuity of their community as they welcome the return of their children and other young adults as new home owners and neighbors; and
Whereas, The Association has developed a positive and productive relationship with local schools, churches, businesses, and the Detroit Police Department's Tenth Precinct, furthering their commitment to community cohesiveness and the development of community partnerships within the area; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of the Michigan House of Representatives recognize the Russell Woods-Sullivan Area Association for maintaining, preserving and upholding the highest standard of community life; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be presented to members of the Russell Woods-Sullivan Area Association as a symbol our support for the continuance of their good deeds.
Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,
Rep. Gagliardi moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.
The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
Rep. Anthony offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 318.
A resolution to request the Michigan Department of Transportation to notify the legislature of all planned closings of rest stops, including temporary and seasonal closings.
Whereas, Our state's highway system is a vital component of our economy. In addition to its impact on manufacturing and commerce, our network of roads is a strong element of all our efforts to promote tourism; and
Whereas, A significant public service to residents and visitors is provided by the rest stops along our highways. These are among the most visible of state services. When these rest stops are closed during the winter or for repairs during other times of the year, travelers are inconvenienced. Occasionally, closings draw considerable public attention; and
Whereas, While periodic closings of rest stops are unavoidable and necessary for maintenance, and while the state's transportation officials hope to keep the closures to a minimum, it would be beneficial for the Department of Transportation to provide legislators prior notification of closings. Advance notice to the legislature will be helpful in responding to citizen concerns over this highly visible and helpful public service; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we request the Michigan Department of Transportation to notify the legislature of all planned closings of rest stops, including temporary and seasonal closings; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Department of Transportation.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Transportation.
Rep. Lowe offered the following concurrent resolution:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 109.
A concurrent resolution to request the Michigan Department of Transportation to notify the legislature of all planned closings of rest stops, including temporary and seasonal closings.
Whereas, Our state's highway system is a vital component of our economy. In addition to its impact on manufacturing and commerce, our network of roads is a strong element of all our efforts to promote tourism; and

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we request the Michigan Department of Transportation to notify the legislature of all planned closings of rest stops, including temporary and seasonal closings; and be it further
