House Resolution No. 41.

A resolution to declare September 9, 2013, as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Healthy children are the most important resource in the great state of Michigan and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) pose a serious threat to the potential health of our future generations; and

Whereas, More than 30 years have passed since Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) was identified and named as a birth disorder by United States researchers; and

Whereas, Prenatal exposure to alcohol can cause birth defects, mental retardation, learning disabilities, and attention deficits; and

Whereas, The estimated number of FASD per year is over 30,000; and

Whereas, The incidence rate of full FAS is estimated at 1 out of 1,000 live births and the incidence rate of FASD is estimated at 1 out of every 100 live births; and

Whereas, Individuals with FASD often have secondary hardships such as trouble with the law, substance abuse issues, disrupted school experiences, employment problems, and homelessness; and

Whereas, FASD is entirely preventable; and

Whereas, People around the world began observing International FAS Awareness Day on September 9 of each year beginning in 1999 in order that on the ninth day of the ninth month of the year the world will remember that a woman should abstain from alcohol during the nine months of pregnancy; and

Whereas, The U.S. Senate has passed a resolution designating September 9 as National Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Awareness Day and has called upon all states to observe FASD Awareness Day; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 9, 2013, as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Awareness Day in the state of Michigan. We strongly urge all citizens to increase their knowledge of the effects of prenatal exposure to alcohol, to increase their level of compassion for individuals affected by FASD, and to do all which may lie in their power to reduce the incidence of FASD in the state of Michigan in the future.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Health Policy.

Reps. Jenkins, Price, Lauwers, Kurtz, Barnett, Daley, Kowall, Knezek, Brown, Crawford, Darany, Geiss, Heise, Lori, Schmidt and Slavens offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 42.

Whereas, March 12, 2013, marks the 101st anniversary of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America, founded by Juliette Gordon Low in Savannah, Georgia, in 1912; and

Whereas, The purpose of Girl Scouting is to inspire girls with the highest ideals of character, conduct, patriotism, and service so that they may become happy and resourceful citizens; and

Whereas, Throughout the organization’s distinguished history, Girl Scouting has instilled millions of girls and women with the courage, confidence, and character to make the world a better place; and

Whereas, Through participation in a Girl Scout troop, girls develop the skills that will serve them throughout their lives so that they may contribute to their communities; and

Whereas, Girl Scouting takes an active role in increasing girls’ awareness of the opportunities in math, science, sports, technology, and many other fields of interest that can expand their horizons; and

Whereas, For over 100 years, Girl Scouting has served as a voice for girls in Michigan while providing the opportunity to become better friends, stronger women, and empowered leaders; now, therefore, be it

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Jenkins, O’Brien, Price, Lauwers, Kurtz, Barnett, Kowall, Daley, Knezek, Brown, Darany, Geiss, Heise, Howrylak, Lori, Schmidt and Slavens offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 43.

A resolution to declare September 15-21, 2013, as Teen Cancer Awareness Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Cancer among adolescents is rare, but is still the leading cause of death from disease in teenagers between 15 and 19 years of age; and

Whereas, While teens should receive treatment at pediatric hospitals, only one-third of adolescent cancer patients are treated at pediatric oncology centers. They often feel out of place because they are too old to be mixed in with younger children and most pediatric oncology programs focus on the clinical and psychosocial needs of younger patients; and

Whereas, When teen cancer patients receive treatment in adult cancer facilities, they feel out of place because they are too young to be treated as adults and account for only one percent of the population treated by medical oncologists; and

Whereas, Teens with cancer are thus stranded between two medical systems and neither of them adequately addresses their clinical and psychosocial needs; and

Whereas, While the five-year survival rates of children with cancer have increased in the last 20 years, survival rates for teenagers and young adults with cancer are dismally low in comparison. The disparity is partly due to the fact that 40 percent of cancer patients 14 and younger are enrolled in clinical trials compared with an average of only nine percent of cancer patients between the ages of 15 and 24; and

Whereas, Teens with cancer have unique concerns about their education, social lives, body image, and infertility, among other things, and their needs too often are not understood or acknowledged; and

Whereas, Many adolescent cancer survivors have difficulty re-adjusting to school and social settings, and experience anxiety and increased learning difficulties; and

Whereas, There exists an undeniable need to not only understand the biology and clinical needs of teens with cancer, but also to increase awareness in the larger community about the unique challenges facing teens with cancer; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 15-21, 2013, as Teen Cancer Awareness Week in the state of Michigan.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Health Policy.

Reps. Stamas, Barnett, Brown, Darany, Geiss, Haines, Heise, Hooker, Howrylak, Lori, Schmidt and Slavens offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 44.

A resolution to declare March 2013 as Athletic Trainer Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Athletic trainers have a long history of providing quality health care for athletes and those engaged in physical activity and have acquired specific knowledge and skills acquired through their nationally regulated educational processes; and

Whereas, Athletic trainers provide recognition and prevention of injuries, evaluation and treatment, rehabilitation, health care administration, and education and guidance; and

Whereas, The National Athletic Trainers Association represents and supports 35,000 members of the athletic training profession employed in professional sports, colleges and universities, high schools, clinics and hospitals, corporate and industrial settings, performing arts centers, and military branches; and

Whereas, Leading organizations concerned with athletic training and health care have joined together in a common desire to raise public awareness of the importance of the athletic training profession and to emphasize the importance of quality health care within the aforementioned settings; and

Whereas, Such an effort will improve health care for athletes and those engaged in physical activity and promote the athletic training profession; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2013 as Athletic Trainer Month in the state of Michigan.

House Resolution No. 45.

A resolution to declare March 20, 2013, as Agriculture Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Agriculture is the second largest industry in the state of Michigan and agriculture has grown during our most recent economic hardships; and

Whereas, Michigan is a national leader in the production of commodities with more than 200 separate commodities produced on a commercial basis. Our state is the leading producer in 17 of those commodities; and

Whereas, Michigan’s agricultural economy is stronger than the economy in general. There are 55,000 farms and over 500 food processors in Michigan; and

Whereas, Michigan farmers contribute more than $71.3 billion in high-quality food, fiber, and floriculture annually to the state’s economy; and

Whereas, Michigan’s many microclimates permit the growing of grains, corn, beans, celery, apples, cherries and grapes among others; and

Whereas, Michigan’s livestock and dairy sectors produce superior quality beef, poultry, pork, and dairy products enjoyed throughout the world; and

Whereas, Our abundant natural resources continue to make Michigan a great place to live, work, and play. As the state continues to recover from the most recent economic struggles, agriculture will continue to play a vital role in our long-term recovery; and

Whereas, Michigan agriculture is a renewable economic resource for the state, employing more than one million people and creating income that is replenished every year in the state; and

Whereas, Michigan agriculture is a family affair with families or partners owning the overwhelming majority of the state’s farms and agricultural facilities; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 20, 2013, as Agriculture Day in the state of Michigan. We recognize and honor the achievements and contributions of farmers and the thousands of people involved in jobs relating to Michigan agriculture.

Rep. Stamas moved that consideration of the resolution be postponed for the day.

The motion prevailed.

Reps. Lauwers, Daley, Glardon, Victory, Cotter, Hovey-Wright, Pagel, Johnson, Smiley, Kurtz, LaVoy, Barnett, Brown, Geiss, Heise, Howrylak, Lori and Schmidt offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 46.

A resolution to declare May 30, 2013, as Silo Safety Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Silos play an important role in the storage of agricultural products, but can pose a significant risk to those who work within them; and

Whereas, Accidents occur in Michigan and throughout the country each year within silos. Many of these tragedies could have been avoided with additional caution and an awareness of safety measures; and

Whereas, Workers within silos must always be conscious of basic silo safety rules. These rules include: ropes or safety harnesses are essential, crusted grain should never be walked on, a silo should never be entered from the bottom when material is collected to the sides of the bin or bridged overhead, tools that are used should not conduct electricity nor create sparks, and other workers should be present to assist and supervise if at all possible; and

Whereas, In memory of those who have been injured or killed while working in silos, it is our intent to help raise awareness about the inherent dangers that are present; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 30, 2013, as Silo Safety Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

House Resolution No. 47.

A resolution to declare April 2013 as Youth Financial Literacy Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The informed use of credit and other financial products and services benefits individual consumers and promotes economic growth; and

Whereas, Financial literacy and learning these skills at an early age encourages greater economic self-sufficiency, higher levels of successful homeownership, and enhanced retirement security, particularly among low and moderate-income citizens; and

Whereas, The past decade has seen declining personal savings rates, increased bankruptcy filings, soaring home foreclosures, and rising percentages of family income devoted to servicing household debt; and

Whereas, Given the current economic conditions facing Michigan, personal financial education and money management skills are crucial to ensure that our young people are prepared to manage credit and debt and become responsible workers, heads of households, homeowners, investors, entrepreneurs, business leaders, and productive citizens; and

Whereas, The young people of our state represent the nation’s single greatest resource who, in the years ahead, will assume leadership positions and responsibility for advancement of our society; and

Whereas, Youth Financial Literacy Month highlights the commitment of credit unions throughout the nation to strengthen the financial knowledge of our youth and to prepare them for a fiscally-responsible future; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 2013 as Youth Financial Literacy Month in the state of Michigan. We encourage raising public awareness about the need for increased financial literacy in our schools and among our children and the serious problems that are associated with a lack of understanding of personal finances; and be it further

Resolved, That we call on each parent, school, business, community organization, and unit of government to observe the month with appropriate programs and activities.

House Resolution No. 48.

A resolution to call for Michigan laborers and manufactured materials to be used in the design and construction of the New International Trade Crossing.

Whereas, As Michigan’s economy continues to grow stronger, construction of the New International Trade Crossing is crucial to our state’s continued recovery and economic stability. The state should continue to support the construction of this bridge to bolster trade and provide much needed jobs; and

Whereas, Michigan laborers should be utilized in the design and construction phases of the project. By many estimates, the bridge construction has the potential to put 10,000 Michiganders to work over its duration. This is more than any other single endeavor, public or private, in the state. It would help to lower Michigan’s unemployment rate, one key to our economic recovery; and

Whereas, The New International Trade Crossing construction should use Michigan and American manufactured materials. Excellent Michigan-made cement, concrete, aggregates, and other materials are essential ingredients for success in the construction of the bridge. Furthermore, any bridge project involving the United States should use American-made steel; and,

Whereas, Michigan employers and manufacturers have contributed to the state’s economic resurgence by their investment in the people and products of Michigan. Their commitment should be encouraged and rewarded with the utilization of those products and people. This will cement our pathway to a sustainable economic future for Michigan; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we call for Michigan laborers and manufactured materials to be used in the design and construction of the New International Trade Crossing; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor, the Director of the Michigan Department of Transportation, and the Board of Directors of the Michigan Strategic Fund.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.

Explanation of “No” Votes

Reps. Lamonte, Dianda and Brinks, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of Senate Bill Nos. 61 and 62, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted on February 28, 2013 against SB 61 and SB 62, a proposal to convert Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Michigan from a nonprofit health care corporation to a nonprofit mutual disability insurer. The proposals contain measures that will make it more difficult and expensive for seniors to obtain comprehensive insurance, specifically, the proposal that ends Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan’s obligation to subsidize the cost of Medigap insurance after 2016.

I voted no on these bills because I’m opposed to putting increased financial burdens on Michigan’s seniors, who are already struggling to pay a new tax on retirement income and have had tax credits and deductions reduced or eliminated.”

Rep. Driskell, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of Senate Bill Nos. 61 and 62, made the following statement:

Announcements by the Clerk

The Clerk received the following dissent on House Bill No. 4054, from Rep. Irwin:

I continue to object to the abuse of procedural tricks to subvert the Constitutional rights of citizens to know accurately the actions of the House of Representatives. Motions for immediate effect are routinely gaveled through without even a pretense of vote counting. This motion requires support from 2/3rds of the members and there is no genuine effort to ascertain the level of support for immediate effect. I object to this practice and I object to the erroneous assertions printed in the House Journal that suggest an authentic counting of votes occurred on the House floor.
