The resolution consent calendar was adopted.

Senate Resolution No. 148.
A resolution to honor the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness.
Whereas, It is a distinct privilege for this legislative body to honor the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness for its outstanding leadership in promoting exercise among Michigan citizens. Their leadership has garnered for them recent recognition as the Gold Star Award recipient as the State Council of the Year at the National Association of Governor's Councils on Physical Fitness and Sports; and
Whereas, Michigan was selected because of its long-term impact on local communities and the state in promoting the health benefits of physical activity and the success of its behavior change programs; and
Whereas, The Council established the Exemplary Physical Education Curriculum (EPEC), consisting of lessons and teaching-learning progressions that have been implemented in 50 percent of Michigan school districts. The EPEC staff have trained over 600 teachers since February 1998 when the curriculum's first edition was published; and
Whereas, The Governor's Council Awards Program that recognizes businesses, schools, and other groups that promote health has seen significant growth. Last year's awards were presented to over 165 recipients in four categories of healthy workplace, exemplary physical education, amateur sports, and getting Michigan communities moving; and
Whereas, The Council has consistently worked to raise public awareness through published brochures and position papers, increased media attention to the health benefits of physical activity, its Web site at www.michiganfitness.org, and health promotion and fitness events delivered by the 11 regional fitness councils; and
Whereas, In 1999, the ACES With a Friend (All Children Exercising Simultaneously) program, which is chaired by Tom Izzo, involved over 143,000 participants in Michigan's elementary schools; and
Whereas, There is a need for continued public awareness of the fact that even relatively easy behavioral changes can save lives and money for our state. This is clearly an area where prevention offers significant rewards; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we express our congratulations and support for the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness as the Gold Star Award recipient as the State Council of the Year for its outstanding efforts to increase public awareness of the health benefits of physical activity; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Department of Community Health and the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness.
Senator Rogers offered the following concurrent resolution:
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 35.
