Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Pestka, Callahan, Quarles, Brater, LaForge, Sheltrown, Bovin, Spade, Dennis, Rivet, Frank, Thomas, Neumann, Lockwood, Bob Brown, Minore, Schauer, Schermesser, Woodward, Bogardus, Clark, Hansen, Wojno, Hardman, Hager, Reeves, Clarke, Basham, Lemmons, Jacobs, Woronchak, Van Woerkom, Mortimer, Kelly, Prusi, Hale, Scott, Martinez, Gieleghem, Jellema, Jamnick, Baird and Cherry offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 211.

A resolution to urge the Department of Consumer and Industry Services to withdraw its proposed rules on child care centers and licensing and to redraft the rules with certain changes.

Whereas, The Department of Consumer and Industry Services has drafted proposed rules on child care centers and licensing. These rules, provided for in 1973 PA 116, were published in the July 1999 Michigan Register; and

Whereas, Public hearings and publicity on the rules have generated considerable concern. Many advocates of excellence in child care have indicated that the rules as proposed do not fulfill the aims of 1973 PA 116 and may contradict certain other provisions of state law. Specific areas of concern include provisions impacting child safety, health, and communications with parents on what state law requires of licensed child care facilities. Several requirements of the statute are omitted from the rules, including matters pertaining to nutrition, sanitation, and requirements of staff; and

Whereas, Pursuant to section 2 of 1973 PA 116, an ad hoc committee made recommendations to ensure the administrative rules meet the needs of Michigan children and families and carry out the intent of the legislation. The proposed rules, while they include well-developed standards in certain areas, fall far short of addressing the recommendations of the committee and providing the appropriate level of safety and accountability for child care centers. With the enormous load of child care licensing consultants, who are responsible for inspecting more than 4,700 centers serving over 230,000 children, it is of critical importance that rules establish standards that have structure, objectivity, and consistency; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Department of Consumer and Industry Services to withdraw its proposed rules on child care centers and licensing and to redraft the rules with changes that include the following:

--Reduce the child-caregiver ratio to the standard in current rules;

--Remove the bus driver, when in transit, from the ratio for supervision;

--Provide specific criteria for inspections; and

--Provide to parents written copies of center policies and a copy of 1973 PA 116.

We urge that the redraft of the rules include the recommendations of the ad hoc committee with regard to responsibilities of a primary caregiver, sleeping equipment, administering of medications, maintenance of records, personal care standards for infants, food service standards and inspections, infant feeding, immunization documentation, standards for water and lead testing, education and training of staff and directors, on-site requirements for directors, and drop-in facilities for school-aged children; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Department of Consumer and Industry Services.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Family and Children Services.

THIS RESOLUTION IS OFFERED TO COMPLY WITH MCL §§ 830.415 AND 830.417 AND REQUIRES A RECORD ROLL CALL VOTE.

Rep. Jellema offered the following concurrent resolution:

Resolved, That the Lease is hereby approved by this concurrent resolution, and the Governor and the Secretary of State are authorized and directed to execute the Lease for and on behalf of the State; and be it further

Resolved, That, by hereby approving the Lease among the State, the Educational Institution, and the Authority, the Legislature agrees to appropriate annually sufficient amounts to pay the rent as obligated pursuant to the Lease; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this concurrent resolution be transmitted to the Governor, the Secretary of State, the Authority, the Board of Regents of Eastern Michigan University, and the State Budget Director.

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 20.

A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to take certain actions regarding the implementation of the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996.

Whereas, The Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA) was signed into law on August 3, 1996, by President Clinton; and

Whereas, Among the purposes of the FQPA is to assure that pesticide tolerance decisions and policies are based upon sound science and reliable data; and

Whereas, Another purpose of the FQPA is to assure that pesticide tolerance decisions and policies are formulated in an open and transparent manner; and

Whereas, The EPA is required by the FQPA to have reviewed approximately 3,000 of the approximately 9,700 existing tolerances by August 1999 to determine whether these tolerances meet the safety standards established by the FQPA; and

Whereas, The implementation of the FQPA could have a profound negative impact on domestic agricultural production and on consumer food prices and availability. With Michigan's diverse agriculture, this impact could be especially severe on our numerous specialty crops; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to take the following actions:

1. Direct the EPA to initiate immediately appropriate administrative rulemaking to ensure that the policies and standards the agency intends to apply in evaluating pesticide tolerances are subject to thorough public notice and comment prior to final tolerance determinations being made by the agency.

2. Direct the EPA to use its authority under the FQPA to provide interested persons the opportunity to produce data needed to evaluate a pesticide tolerance so that the agency can avoid the use of unrealistic default assumptions in making pesticide tolerance decisions.

3. Direct the EPA to implement the FQPA in a manner that will not disrupt agricultural production nor have a negative impact on the availability, diversity, and affordability of food.

4. Conduct oversight hearings immediately to ensure that actions taken by the EPA are consistent with the FQPA provisions and congressional intent. Following oversight hearings, Congress should, if necessary, take appropriate actions or amend the FQPA to correct problem areas.

5. Encourage the Secretary of Agriculture and the United States Department of Agriculture to increase its commitment of manpower and budgetary resources to work with the EPA to gather scientific data. Furthermore, Congress should encourage the United States Department of Agriculture to conduct an economic impact statement on the implementation of the FQPA.

6. Clarify the role of Section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act as its provisions relate to the reestablishment of tolerances under the FQPA; 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, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.

Reps. LaForge, Woodward, Middaugh, Faunce, Hardman, Rivet, Kelly, Prusi, Scott, Martinez, Vaughn, Sheltrown, Gieleghem, Hansen, Julian, Schauer, DeHart, Minore, Jamnick, Green, Baird, Thomas, Lemmons and Cherry were named co-sponsors of the concurrent resolution.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Agriculture and Resource Management.

 

 

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 24.

A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to investigate the issue and extent of foreign agricultural products being dumped on American markets.

Whereas, The opening of markets around the world holds many opportunities for our nation and for specific enterprises. The global nature of business offers rewards both for the American consumer and for those exporting goods to other countries; and

Whereas, With the opportunities of free trade comes damage that can result from trade that enjoys an unfair advantage due to prices that are not based on the quality of a product or the true costs of making that product. There have been several examples of unfair trade based on external factors, including subsidization by other countries of certain industries. When goods are subsidized by governments and these goods are, in effect, dumped in this country and sold at less than their true costs, American industries and interests can be seriously jeopardized; and

Whereas, There are several areas of the United States farm economy facing threats from foreign growers and producers that are possibly the result of foreign goods being dumped on American markets. Imported farm products that are suspected of enjoying an unfair advantage include many key crops for Michigan farm families, including vegetables, fruit products, and some grains. Other states across our country face similar threats from foreign goods being traded with an unfair advantage; and

Whereas, American agriculture is far too essential to our nation's future to ignore warnings and concerns of the impact of unfair foreign trade and goods dumped on our markets; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to investigate the issue and extent of foreign agricultural products being dumped on American markets; 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 Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.

Reps. Spade, Birkholz, Pappageorge, Koetje, Middaugh, Mead, Bradstreet, Ehardt, Van Woerkom, Mortimer, Faunce, Hardman, Kelly, Prusi, Kowall, Voorhees, Vaughn, Sheltrown, Gieleghem, Julian, Kukuk, Jellema, Garcia, Schauer, Jansen, Minore, Jamnick, Green, Allen, Vear, Raczkowski, Richardville, Lemmons, Tabor, Cassis and Perricone were named co-sponsors of the concurrent resolution.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Agriculture and Resource Management.

 

 

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 25.

A concurrent resolution to urge the National Collegiate Athletic Association to respect the education standards of the state of Michigan with regard to Jason Richardson, a student at Michigan State University.

Whereas, The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has ruled Jason Richardson, a student at Michigan State University, ineligible to participate in interscholastic sports because of an alleged deficiency in the classes he took in high school. The NCAA Clearinghouse, which rendered the decision, has declared that Mr. Richardson, a graduate of Saginaw Arthur High School, did not meet the NCAA requirement for taking the appropriate core courses; and

Whereas, The class in question was from Mr. Richardson's freshman year. He took this class at the advice of school counselors. His subsequent transfer from a parochial school to the Saginaw Public School District apparently

contributed to the misidentification of the course. The NCAA Clearinghouse had all of the appropriate information on Mr. Richardson's high school academic career more than a year before its announcement of his ineligibility. During this time, he could easily have remedied the alleged deficiency, but the NCAA did not act in a timely manner; and

Whereas, The questions of Jason Richardson's academic career do not include his grades or test scores, which more than meet the requirements for MSU and the NCAA. Instead, the criteria being used is the NCAA's interpretation of the core class requirements in Saginaw and Michigan. The appropriate authorities, those best positioned to verify Mr. Richardson's level of achievement in the classroom, have affirmed his completion of all scholastic requirements; and

Whereas, Section 1278 of the Michigan Revised School Code, being MCL § 380.1278, provides that each district is responsible for assuring compliance with state standards of academic skills and course work; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we urge the National Collegiate Athletic Association to respect the education standards of the state of Michigan with regard to Jason Richardson, a student at Michigan State University, and declare him eligible to participate in interscholastic athletics; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the NCAA Clearinghouse, NCAA Member Services, and the President of the NCAA.

The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.

Reps. Birkholz, Pappageorge, Ehardt, Faunce, Hardman, Kowall, Sheltrown, Julian, Jellema, Jansen, Raczkowski, Lemmons and Perricone were named co-sponsors of the concurrent resolution.

Pending the reference of the concurrent resolution to a committee,

Rep. Raczkowski moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the concurrent 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 concurrent resolution,

The concurrent resolution was adopted.
