COMMITTEE ATTENDANCE REPORT
The following report, submitted by Rep. Palmer, Chair, of the Committee on Education, was received and read:
Meeting held on: Thursday, March 11, 2004

The Committee on Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security, by Rep. Nofs, Chair, reported
House Resolution No. 179.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to reduce the threshold of eligibility for Prisoner of War benefits to one day of imprisonment.
(For text of resolution, see House Journal No. 88 of 2003, p. 2218.)
With the recommendation that the following substitute (H-1) be adopted and that the resolution then be adopted.
Substitute for House Resolution No. 179.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to reduce the threshold of eligibility for Prisoner of War benefits to one day of imprisonment.
Whereas, Under current federal law, a former Prisoner of War is eligible for special benefits when the imprisonment extends for a period of at least 30 days. These benefits include a variety of health services, including some that require a threshold of eligibility of 90 days of internment; and
Whereas, Many people strongly feel that the length of time served as a POW necessary to receive special benefits is far too long. The sacrifice being made by members of our military who are incarcerated as prisoners and the conditions they face are such that the 30-day requirement is entirely inappropriate; and
Whereas, Much stronger protections should be extended to the men and women who risk everything in defense of their country and their fellow citizens. Creating a minimum threshold for POW benefits eligibility would send an important message to our military that our country is making a true commitment to these heroes commensurate with their suffering and sacrifices; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to reduce the threshold of eligibility for Prisoner of War benefits to one day of imprisonment; 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 and substitute were laid over one day under the rules.

March 8, 2004
In accordance with Section 8 of the Michigan Employment Security Act, being Section 421.8 of the Michigan CompiledLaws, the Unemployment Insurance Agency is required to report annually to the Governor and the Legislature any amount, in excess of $1.00, that the maximum weekly unemployment benefit rate would increase if the annual increase in the United States Department of Labor's Consumer Price Index (CPI) were applied to the maximum weekly benefit rate.
I am therefore transmitting to the Governor, and to the House and Senate for publication along with this letter in the Journals of their respective bodies, the enclosed report showing that since the last increase in the maximum weekly benefit rate to $362.00, the increase in the CPI would result in an increase in the maximum weekly unemployment benefit rate to $379.25. Using the method of applying a percentage of the state average weekly wage, the maximum weekly benefit rate would increase to $431.80.
Respectfully submitted,
Sharon M. Bommarito

The bill was read a second time.
Reps. Julian, Byrum and Tabor moved to amend the bill as follows:

"Sec. 3. (1) When the governing body of a municipality determines that it is necessary for the best interests of the public to halt property value deterioration and increase property tax valuation where possible in its business district, to eliminate the causes of that deterioration, and to promote economic growth, the governing body may, by resolution, declare its intention to create and provide for the operation of an authority.
(2) In the resolution of intent, the governing body shall set a date for the holding of a public hearing on the adoption of a proposed ordinance creating the authority and designating the boundaries of the downtown district. Notice of the public hearing shall be published twice in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality, not less than 20 or more than 40 days before the date of the hearing. Not less than 20 days before the hearing, the governing body proposing to create the authority shall also mail notice of the hearing to the property taxpayers of record in the proposed district and for a public hearing to be held after February 15, 1994 to the governing body of each taxing jurisdiction levying taxes that would be subject to capture if the authority is established and a tax increment financing plan is approved. Failure of a property taxpayer to receive the notice shall not invalidate these proceedings. Notice of the hearing shall be posted in at least 20 conspicuous and public places in the proposed downtown district not less than 20 days before the hearing. The notice shall state the date, time, and place of the hearing, and shall describe the boundaries of the proposed downtown district. A citizen, taxpayer, or property owner of the municipality or an official from a taxing jurisdiction with millage that would be subject to capture has the right to be heard in regard to the establishment of the authority and the boundaries of the proposed downtown district. The governing body of the municipality shall not incorporate land into the downtown district not included in the description contained in the notice of public hearing, but it may eliminate described lands from the downtown district in the final determination of the boundaries.
(3) Not more than 60 days after a public hearing held after February 15, 1994, the governing body of a taxing jurisdiction levying ad valorem property taxes that would otherwise be subject to capture may exempt its taxes from capture by adopting a resolution to that effect and filing a copy with the clerk of the municipality proposing to create the authority. The resolution takes effect when filed with that clerk and remains effective until a copy of a resolution rescinding that resolution is filed with that clerk.
(4) Not less than 60 days after the public hearing, if the governing body of the municipality intends to proceed with the establishment of the authority, it shall adopt, by majority vote of its members, an ordinance establishing the authority and designating the boundaries of the downtown district within which the authority shall exercise its powers. The adoption of the ordinance is subject to any applicable statutory or charter provisions in respect to the approval or disapproval by the chief executive or other officer of the municipality and the adoption of an ordinance over his or her veto. This ordinance shall be filed with the secretary of state promptly after its adoption and shall be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality.
(5) The governing body of the municipality may alter or amend the boundaries of the downtown district to include or exclude lands from the downtown district pursuant to the same requirements for adopting the ordinance creating the authority.
(6) If a township created an authority in 1983 and did not adopt a development plan before 2003, both of the following shall apply:
(a) If that township adopted a resolution of intent to create an authority in 2002 and did not adopt the ordinance establishing the authority within 180 days of the public hearing, the resolution and the ordinance establishing the authority are invalid. If an ordinance is invalidated under this subsection, that township is not prohibited from adopting a new ordinance creating an authority under this act.
(b) An authority created by that township in 1983 shall not capture any tax increment revenues under this act.".

______
Reps. Gillard, Zelenko, Anderson, Law and Elkins, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on House Bill 5530(H-1) because provisions added in committee could actually have a reverse effect and frighten parent participation on local school district Special Education Advisory committees.
The committees are not policy making in nature and simply advise local school boards on special education issues. These advisory committees often hold discussions that involve issues specific to special education students of parents who sit on the board. These discussions should not have to be subject to FOIA and OMA requirements and making them could actually violate federal privacy law. Protecting the privacy of special education students and their families should be of paramount importance. It is for these reasons that I voted no on House Bill 5530."
Rep. Meisner, 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:
While the open meetings act and FOIA seem like reasonable things to apply, the result of doing so in the case of special education parent advisory committee meetings could be to create a chilling effect on parent's voluntary participation in these committees. Discussions at these meetings can be very sensitive, relating to the individual cases of students. It may be that parents at these meetings would not participate as actively if they were worried about their comments ending up in the local papers."

House Concurrent Resolution No. 48.
A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States, the United States Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management to work with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to align mineral rights with surface rights on publicly owned lands.
Whereas, Michigan's rich natural resources sustain our economy and our spirit and are at the core of our shared heritage; and
Whereas, Michigan's vast public lands provide outstanding recreational opportunities for Michigan residents and visitors and critical protections for a variety of ecosystems across the state; and
Whereas, It is in the best interest of the citizens of Michigan that natural resources in the state are vigorously protected and, as needed, developed in an orderly, transparent, and economically and ecologically sustainable manner; and
Whereas, The federal government owns significant subsurface mineral holdings on state lands. This makes it difficult to manage effectively the natural resources of the state in the most sustainable and beneficial manner; and
Whereas, The United States Bureau of Land Management has yet to develop a coherent and transparent inventory of the federal government's subsurface mineral holdings in the state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to provide the necessary funding for the United States Bureau of Land Management to complete its efforts to inventory the federal government's subsurface mineral holdings in Michigan. We urge the United States Bureau of Land Management and the United States Forest Service to work with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and take all practical steps to facilitate potential exchanges of severed mineral rights on publicly owned lands in Michigan; 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, the United States Bureau of Land Management, and the United States Forest Service.
The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Conservation and Outdoor Recreation.
