Messages from the Senate
House Bill No. 4406, entitled
A bill to amend 1978 PA 368, entitled “Public health code,” by amending section 2835 (MCL 333.2835), as amended by 2002 PA 562.
The Senate has passed the bill, ordered that it be given immediate effect and pursuant to Joint Rule 20, inserted the full title.
The House agreed to the full title.
The bill was referred to the Clerk for enrollment printing and presentation to the Governor.
House Bill No. 4986, entitled
A bill to amend 1992 PA 147, entitled “Neighborhood enterprise zone act,” by amending sections 4 and 9 (MCL 207.774 and 207.779), section 4 as amended by 2009 PA 16 and section 9 as amended by 2005 PA 340.
The Senate has substituted (S-4) the bill.
The Senate has passed the bill as substituted (S-4), ordered that it be given immediate effect and amended the title to read as follows:
A bill to amend 1992 PA 147, entitled “An act to provide for the development and rehabilitation of residential housing; to provide for the creation of neighborhood enterprise zones; to provide for obtaining neighborhood enterprise zone certificates for a period of time and to prescribe the contents of the certificates; to provide for the exemption of certain taxes; to provide for the levy and collection of a specific tax on the owner of certain facilities; and to prescribe the powers and duties of certain officers of the state and local governmental units,” by amending section 4 (MCL 207.774), as amended by 2009 PA 16.
The Speaker announced that pursuant to Rule 42, the bill was laid over one day.
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 47.
A concurrent resolution to call the Obama Administration to task for its failed leadership on preventing Asian carp from invading the Great Lakes and call again for immediate actions to prevent further carp movement into the Great Lakes.
Whereas, A live Asian carp has been found beyond the electrical barrier on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and beyond any existing locks separating Lake Michigan from carp-infested waters. The live carp, mature enough to reproduce, vindicates earlier DNA detections of Asian carp in these waters and confirms the fears of Michigan and other Great Lakes states and provinces; and
Whereas, Since the first detection of Asian carp beyond the electrical barrier over seven months ago, the Obama Administration has continually sided with special interests in delaying decisive action at the expense of the entire Great Lakes region; and
Whereas, The Obama Administration successfully fought Michigan’s lawsuit to immediately shut down canals and waterways connecting the Great Lakes basin to the Mississippi River basin and move forward with permanent separation of the two basins; and
Whereas, The Obama Administration ignored repeated resolutions from the Michigan Legislature and other parties warning of the imminent threat and calling for immediate action to protect the Great Lakes from Asian carp. Instead, the administration has wasted valuable time, effort, and money attempting to further corroborate earlier evidence of Asian carp in the Great Lakes; and
Whereas, Early indications are that the Obama Administration will continue to question, minimize, and fight any evidence that would support immediate closure of the locks in the Chicago area and permanent separation of the Great Lakes from the Mississippi River basin. The longer that the administration delays on these actions, the more likely it is that Asian carp will become established in the Great Lakes; and
Whereas, The Obama Administration already has one ecological disaster on its watch. The administration should not allow another disaster with longer-term consequences and within its power to prevent from coming to fruition; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representative concurring), That we call the Obama Administration to task for its failed leadership on preventing Asian carp from invading the Great Lakes and call again for immediate actions to prevent further carp movement into the Great Lakes; and be it further
Resolved, That we encourage and support the Michigan Attorney General’s efforts to pursue further legal action demanding immediate closure of the canals and waterways connecting the Great Lakes basin to carp-infested waters; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, 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 Michigan Attorney General.
The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.
Reps. Ball, Daley, Hansen, Haveman, Horn, Knollenberg, Kowall, Kurtz, Lori, Meekhof, Schuitmaker, Stamas and Tyler were named co‑sponsors of the concurrent resolution.
The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Great Lakes and Environment.
