Rep. Terry L. Brown, from the 84th District, offered the following invocation:
“O God, our Deliverer, we thank You that You have not left us alone. Thank You for the Spirit who intercedes for us. Give us wisdom beyond ourselves that we might see the path You have set before us. Grant us words that bring life to the broken, the suffering, the addicted, the lonely, and those who long for the fulfillment of Your kingdom.
Show us how our individual lives are entwined with those around us, and help us to live so truly together that we embody Your good news in this world.
During this time of difficult and serious decision making, we pray that You put a spirit of civility and reconciliation into the hearts of those called to lead. Give them discernment, humility, empathy, and willingness to put the common good above politics.
May the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be always acceptable to You.
Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Haines, Barnett, Brown, Cavanagh, Durhal, Heise, Howrylak, Kandrevas, Lipton, McCann, O’Brien, Roberts and Slavens offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 210.
A resolution to declare September 2013 as Safe Sleep Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The sudden, unexpected death of a newborn is the third most common cause of death among newborns; and
Whereas, Sudden unexpected infant death, or SUID, is Michigan’s leading cause of preventable infant death; and
Whereas, Most babies that die of sudden unexpected infant death syndrome appear to be healthy prior to death; and
Whereas, Our state is fortunate to have many public and private partners working together to protect children and ensure infants are safe; and
Whereas, The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Michigan Department of Community Health recommend placing infants in a safe sleeping environment to help significantly reduce sudden unexpected death; and
Whereas, Parents should gain a broader understanding of safe sleep practices and the risk factors associated with SUID and share that information with others on how to create a safe sleeping environment for an infant to reduce the risk of sudden unexpected infant death; and
Whereas, The best ways to prevent sudden unexpected infant deaths are to place infants on their backs, use a firm sleeping surface covered with only a fitted sheet, remove any loose bedding and soft objects from the crib, do not allow the baby to become overheated and do not share a bed with your baby; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the members of this legislative body declare September 2013 as Safe Sleep Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We aim to promote awareness of safe sleep practices; and be it further
Resolved, That the members of this legislative body support the establishment of a safe sleep education program to promote awareness and education relating to sudden unexpected infant death with the focus on the risk factors and safe sleeping practices for newborns and infants.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Health Policy.
Reps. Brown, Cavanagh, Faris, Durhal, LaVoy, Barnett, Heise, Kandrevas, McCann and Slavens offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 211.
A resolution to urge the hydrologic separation of the Great Lakes basin from the Mississippi River basin.
Whereas, The Great Lakes basin is linked to the Mississippi River basin through man-made canals and waterways in the Chicago area. For over a century, these canals and waterways have allowed the flow of commerce, water, fish, and other aquatic organisms between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River system; and
Whereas, Approximately two billion gallons of water are diverted each day from the Great Lakes through these canals and waterways, lowering water levels on Lake Michigan and Lake Huron by approximately 2.5 inches. Every inch that lake levels are lowered increases the cost of shipping, decreases boating accessibility and safety on the Great Lakes, and harms the state and local economies that depend on these industries; and
Whereas, Chicago’s man-made waterways and canals enable invasive species to move between the Great Lakes basin and the Mississippi River basin, placing both of these nationally vital water systems at risk. Past invasions already cost the Great Lakes region an estimated $100 million per year. Asian carp now threaten to use these artificial connections to invade the Great Lakes with irreversible and potentially dire consequences for the fishing and boating industries that generate billions of dollars in economic benefit for the region; and
Whereas, With uncertainty over the future of Great Lakes water levels and with the current threat from Asian carp, the time has come to re-establish the hydrologic separation of the Great Lakes basin from the Mississippi River basin. Other solutions can be found to replace the local benefits to the Chicago area from the canals and waterways, but only hydrologic separation will provide the level of protection necessary to ensure the continued ecological and economic vitality of the Great Lakes; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the hydrologic separation of the Great Lakes basin from the Mississippi River basin; 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, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources.
Reps. Darany, Kowall, Barnett, Brown, Cavanagh, Durhal, Heise, Kandrevas, Lipton, McCann, Potvin, Roberts and Slavens offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 212.
A resolution to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the chartering of the Michigan Dental Hygienists Association.
Whereas, The Michigan Dental Hygienists Association was established in 1923 and is now celebrating its 90th anniversary; and
Whereas, The mission of the Michigan Dental Hygienists Association is to improve the public’s overall health by advancing the art and science of dental hygiene to promote the highest standards of education, licensure, research, and practice; and
Whereas, The organization began with nine members and is now the largest professional dental hygiene organization in Michigan, with more than 10,000 dental hygienists currently licensed. The Michigan Dental Hygienists Association has. for its entire 90 year history, supported public policy to improve access and quality preventive oral health care services; and
Whereas, Dr. Russell W. Bunting, DDS, Dean of the School of Dentistry at the University of Michigan, initiated dental hygiene education at that institution in 1921. For his staunch support, he became known as the “Father of the Michigan Dental Hygiene Movement”. The University of Michigan began offering a baccalaureate degree in dental hygiene in 1939. Ferris State University became the second accredited dental hygiene program in the United States not affiliated with a dental school with its founding in 1965 and its first class graduating in 1967; and
Whereas, Michigan has always been a leader in promoting oral health. In 1945, Grand Rapids became the first community in the world to add fluoride to its community water for prevention of dental cavities. In addition, Michigan now boasts 13 nationally accredited dental hygiene programs; and
Whereas, The first public act instituting licensure in Michigan for dental hygiene was passed in 1923, containing educational standards and providing for enforcement with administrative rules to be determined by the Board of Dentistry; and
Whereas, The Michigan Dental Hygienists Association has been active legislatively by advocating for the passage of laws improving public health. Public Act 58 of 1991 waived the requirement that a licensed dentist “assign” patients to a dental hygienist. This allowed the patient to be seen first by the registered dental hygienist in certain public health settings. Public Act 80 of 1993 established continuing education as a requirement for licensure renewal. Public Act 160 of 2000 added two additional dental hygienists to the Michigan Board of Dentistry. Public Act 161 of 2005 expanded access to individuals by allowing certain entities and public schools to be considered public health settings; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the 90th anniversary of the chartering of the Michigan Dental Hygienists Association. We commend the members for their valuable contribution to accessible, high-quality oral health care for the people of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Dental Hygienists Association members of the association as a reflection of our admiration.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. LaFontaine, Barnett, Brown, Cavanagh, Durhal, Haines, Heise, Howrylak, Kandrevas, Lipton, McCann, O’Brien, Potvin and Slavens offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 213.
A resolution to declare September 10, 2013, as Pharmaceutical Collection Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Studies show that pharmaceuticals do not readily break down in our environment; and
Whereas, Once released to the environment, pharmaceuticals persist in our rivers, lakes, and streams, in the water we recreate in, fish in, and drink; and
Whereas, Pharmaceuticals persist at very low levels in our water, across the Great Lakes, the United States, Europe, and in most developed countries; and
Whereas, Consequences from pharmaceuticals at low levels for fish and amphibians include abnormal sexual differentiation being feminized by endocrine disrupters, like birth control medicine in the water which can disrupt natural population balances for fish populations, food supply, and recreation; and
Whereas, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found that deaths caused by pharmaceutical overdoses have been steadily rising over the last two decades and are presently the leading cause of injury death in the United States; and
Whereas, Pharmaceuticals should be securely stored up and away and out of the sight and reach of children; and
Whereas, The existing solid waste regulations require the collection of medications for diversion from landfills to preferred disposal via incineration at a licensed solid waste incinerator to be identified in the county solid waste plans; and
Whereas, On the Capitol lawn on September 11, 2012, the Michigan Pharmacists Association in cooperation with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, Michigan Department of Community Health, and Michigan State Police, collected 579 pounds of unused, unwanted, or expired medications with an estimated value of $1 million in a matter of two and a half hours; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 10, 2013, as Pharmaceutical Collection Day in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Darany, Roberts, Barnett, Cavanagh, Durhal, Kandrevas, Lipton, and Slavens offered the following concurrent resolution:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 8.
A concurrent resolution to urge the Food and Drug Administration to adopt final regulations pertaining to mobile medical applications.
Whereas, Mobile health-related applications offer many benefits to American health consumers. These mobile medical applications can enhance communication between patients and their doctors; help patients understand the impact of diet, exercise and medication compliance on their health; save money by reducing periods of illness; and facilitate proactive data collection; and
Whereas, The manufacturers, distributers, and developers of mobile medical applications need regulatory certainty in order to develop safe and effective mobile applications. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has signaled that mobile medical applications will fall under the agency’s authority to regulate medical devices. On July 21, 2011, the FDA issued draft guidelines on how the administration intends to apply its regulatory authority; and
Whereas, Two years later, in 2013, the FDA has yet to promulgate final regulations. Thus, application developers are unable to create mobile medical applications with confidence. They could be subject to indeterminate regulations at any given time, which may retroactively affect an application that has already been developed and distributed; and
Whereas, Due to the rapid growth and potential of the mobile medical application market, it is necessary that the FDA issue its final guidance as soon as possible to ensure public safety and continued development of this market. A final set of guidelines will provide certainty to all mobile medical application developers, help bring these applications to market, and allow American health consumers to access the many benefits of these applications; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we urge the Food and Drug Administration to adopt final regulations pertaining to mobile medical applications; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, 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 concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Health Policy.
THIS RESOLUTION IS OFFERED TO COMPLY WITH MCL 51.76.
Reps. Lori, McCready, Brown, Durhal, Haines, Heise and Potvin offered the following concurrent resolution:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 9.
A concurrent resolution relative to secondary road patrol funds for counties providing road patrol services to cities and villages.
Whereas, Section 77 of 1846 RS 14, MCL 51.77, provides funding for county secondary road patrol services pursuant to an agreement with the Office of Criminal Justice, which, pursuant to Executive Order No. 1989 – 4, is now the Office of Highway Safety Planning within the Department of State Police. An agreement also provides a maintenance of law enforcement effort standard for counties providing these secondary road patrol services, unless it is recognized that the reduction was due to cuts in general services due to economic conditions; and
Whereas, Section 76 of 1846 RS 14, MCL 51.76, permits road patrol services to be provided by county sheriff departments to cities and villages. This section also provides that a road patrol agreement is void if the city or village reduces the number of sworn law enforcement officers below the highest number employed at any time within the immediately preceding 36 months, unless the Michigan Legislature, by concurrent resolution, recognizes that the reduction was due to cuts in general services due to economic conditions; and
Whereas, Section 77 of 1846 RS 14, MCL 51.77, provides a formula for funding county secondary road patrol services. This formula permits road patrol services provided by county sheriff departments to cities and villages to be eligible for secondary road patrol funding as long as the city or village complies with the MCL 51.76 law enforcement maintenance of effort requirement, unless any reduction is recognized to be due to cuts in general services due to economic conditions; and
Whereas, In all of Michigan’s counties, cities, and villages, general services have been reduced as a result of serious economic difficulties. These reductions in services have occurred in direct reaction to economic conditions; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That, for Fiscal Year 2014, counties, cities, and villages in Michigan have been required to reduce general services because of economic conditions and are not reducing law enforcement services as stipulated in sections 76 or 77 of 1846 RS 14; and be it further
Resolved, That counties, cities, and villages have met the necessary terms of their agreements for road patrol services and secondary road patrol funding as they relate to maintenance of effort.
The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Appropriations.
Reps. Roberts, Tlaib, Irwin, Hovey-Wright, Darany, Barnett, Brown, Durhal, Kandrevas, Lipton, and Slavens offered the following concurrent resolution:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 10.
A concurrent resolution to urge the Congress of the United States to maintain its commitment to the Great Lakes and restore funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative to the fiscal year 2010 level of $475 million.
Whereas, The Great Lakes are a critical resource for our nation, supporting the economy and a way of life in Michigan and the other seven states within the Great Lakes region. The Great Lakes hold 20 percent of the world’s surface freshwater and 90 percent of the United States’ surface freshwater. This globally significant freshwater resource provides drinking water for more than 30 million people and directly supports 1.5 million jobs, generating $62 billion in wages; and
Whereas, The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) provides essential funding to restore and protect the Great Lakes. This funding is being used to clean up toxic pollution, reduce runoff from cities and farms, prevent invasive species like the Asian carp, and restore fish and wildlife habitat. The Brookings Institution estimates that every dollar invested in the Great Lakes produces two dollars in long-term benefits; and
Whereas, In just three years, the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative has provided more than $200 million for 341 projects in Michigan alone. Among other things, these funds have helped remove contaminated sediments from Areas of Concern at Muskegon Lake, the River Raisin, and St. Mary’s River; restore habitat along the St. Clair River, Cass River, Boardman River, and the Keweenaw Peninsula; and develop improved methods for sea lamprey control; and
Whereas, Past Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funding has only begun the long overdue process of restoring the Great Lakes. Toxic algal blooms, beach closings, fish consumption advisories, and the presence of contaminated sediments continue to limit the recreational and commercial use of the Great Lakes and indicate how much still needs to be done; and
Whereas, Proposed cuts to funding would jeopardize the momentum built up from a decade of unprecedented regional cooperation. Restoration efforts will only become more expensive and more difficult if they are not addressed at this time. Furthermore, maintaining Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funding at past levels will help offset the continued impact of state budget cuts made during the Great Recession; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we urge the Congress of the United States to maintain its commitment to the Great Lakes and restore funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative to the fiscal year 2010 level of $475 million; 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 concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources.
