Pastor Matt Zaniea, Pastor of Blythefield Hills Baptist Church in Rockford, offered the following invocation:

“Heavenly Father

We are grateful daily for Your greatness and Your goodness.

In Your greatness we see the glory of Your creation all around us. We see this world that despite its brokeness still fills us with wonder and awe. Out of the wonder of creation we see humanity that bears Your image in many ways. Each person is imbued with value that transcends our desire and propensity to lessen it.

A view through Your eyes would show us clearly that there are no little people. There is no human to which we should not seek to extend dignity and love anchored in truth. Humanity, out of all creation, sits at the apex of Your care and concern.

In Your goodness we see Your desire to save us from our sin through Your son. We see Your desire for justice to set people, relationships, communities and systems aright. In Your goodness You have entrusted this group to have positions of decision making. You and only You have established them as Your agents to bring about human flourishing. This body You have established to bring about Your good purposes. Many view this as a place of power. However, Your desire is that it be a place of service, care, justice and love.

Bless these legislators today. Guide their decisions. Give them wisdom and may they be soft to its leading. Give them the courage to set aside personal gain for a greater good when needed. Give them courage to be righteous instead of popular, to be fair instead of biased, and to be caring instead of calculating. May they have the character You desire in their private life as well as their public life.

Thank You for the good work that is done here by so many. Guide them to even greater courage today.

In Your Son Jesus name

Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. LaFontaine, Brown, Darany, Denby, Heise, Howrylak, O’Brien, Price, Singh and Slavens offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 120.

A resolution to declare May 2013 as Lyme Disease Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, As the summer season calls people to Michigan’s outdoors to camp, hike, and otherwise enjoy the beauty of our lush green forests, it is an appropriate time to remind citizens of proper precautions and the safety rules of the woodlands. In recent years, Lyme disease has been a concern among outdoor enthusiasts. We urge Michigan residents to become aware of the signs and symptoms, prevention tactics, and treatment of Lyme disease; and

Whereas, An illness caused by the painless bite of a tiny deer tick, Lyme disease causes serious problems involving the heart, joints, and nervous systems in humans and animals. Prompt medical attention will minimize complications of this illness which initially may cause headaches, stiff muscles and joints, fever, nausea, and fatigue. Usually within a few days of being bitten by an infected tick, a person will develop a circular rash. However, detection of the disease is difficult because early symptoms vary and will disappear only to lead to serious problems later; and

Whereas, First recognized in children in 1975 in Lyme, Connecticut, this disease has been reported with increasing frequency throughout the United States. It is crucial that information relating to Lyme disease be available to the public and that the possible severity of its complications be understood by the citizens of Michigan. We salute the people of the Michigan Lyme Disease Association and the Michigan Department of Community Health for their efforts to expand our awareness and knowledge of the prevention and treatment of Lyme disease; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2013 as Lyme Disease Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Rendon, Denby, Heise, Howrylak, O’Brien and Slavens offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 121.

A resolution to declare May 3, 2013, as Stand4Change Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, According to the U.S. Department of Justice, a child is bullied every seven minutes; and

Whereas, One in seven students is either a bully or a victim of bullying; and

Whereas, According to the National Association of School Psychologists, 160,000 students stay home from school every day for fear of bullying; and

Whereas, Teen suicides are on the rise and bullying is often cited as a contributing factor in these tragic situations; and

Whereas, Millions of students and teachers across North America will stand for change on May 3, 2013, at 12:00 p.m. to let the world know that they will no longer tolerate bullying in their schools and communities; and

Whereas, By joining in this movement the Michigan Legislature can demonstrate its commitment to improving the lives of young people everywhere and help to save lives in the process; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 3, 2013, as Stand4Change Day in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Pursuant to Joint Rule 20, the full title of the act shall be inserted to read as follows:

“An act to protect the environment and natural resources of the state; to codify, revise, consolidate, and classify laws relating to the environment and natural resources of the state; to regulate the discharge of certain substances into the environment; to regulate the use of certain lands, waters, and other natural resources of the state; to prescribe the powers and duties of certain state and local agencies and officials; to provide for certain charges, fees, assessments, and donations; to provide certain appropriations; to prescribe penalties and provide remedies; and to repeal acts and parts of acts,”

The House agreed to the full title.

Rep. Stamas moved that the bill be given immediate effect.

The motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor.

______

Rep. Howrylak, 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:

I voted no because the Natural Resources Commission should not be a final authority on the designation of a species as game, absent necessary reforms. The reforms to the Natural Resources Commission that I propose include the following: extensive professional and competency standards as pre-requisites for appointment to the commission and ensuring that decisions are subject to the right of referendum of the voters of the State of Michigan. It is imperative that commission members have a relevant background in conservation and science. Additionally, in its current form, the decisions of the commission are not subject to voter initiative/referendum because of its regulatory authority.

Absent these reforms to ensure that wildlife and wildlife management decisions truly are based on sound science, the commission should only act in an advisory capacity to the legislature in the matter of species game designation.”

Rep. Irwin, 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:

I voted against SB 288 primarily because the bill is a reaction to a citizen effort to refer a previous bill to the 2014 ballot. The legislature should not short-circuit the referendum process, thereby impairing the rights of the people. We have Constitutional powers granted to the people to bring bills passed by the legislature to the ballot, for the people to decide. When legislation is introduced and rushed through with the primary purpose of frustrating these citizen efforts, it brings shame and disrepute to the legislature. Also, this bill distances the elected leaders from the process of designating game species. These decisions should be made by indivuals accountable to the people.”

Senate Bill No. 289, entitled

A bill to amend 1994 PA 451, entitled “Natural resources and environmental protection act,” by amending the title and section 40113a (MCL 324.40113a), the title as amended by 2005 PA 116 and section 40113a as amended by 1997 PA 19.
