Pastor Warren Hood, Pastor of Living Word Fellowship in Lenox Township, offered the following invocation:

“Heavenly Father, I pray that You would bless our state representatives. Bless each member of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, and guide these elected officials in their decisions, that they would make good choices that are both good for Michigan and America, and holy in Your sight.

l ask that You would strengthen their resolve to publicly acknowledge You. Aid them in representing the people they were elected to represent. Cause them to cast godly votes and to propose righteous legislation guided by Your dictates rather than public opinion. Give them wisdom to accurately discern the issues presented before them. May they be fair and just, hearing out all reasonable voices.

May they function as Your ministers sent by You for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do what is right. May they always realize that You remove leaders, and You also are the one who placed them in office at this time. May they realize that there is a God in heaven who longs to be asked for His wisdom.

Bless these men and women today and may they sense Your guidance every day in these sacred halls here in Lansing, Michigan.

In Jesus name,

Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Zemke, Hoadley, Hovey-Wright, Kelly, Maturen, Poleski and Singh offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 28.

A resolution to declare March 2015 as Eye Donor Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The state of Michigan is committed to supporting eye donation awareness, an issue that highlights the importance of providing sight-restoring opportunities; and

Whereas, Eye Donor Month will increase public knowledge and support of advancements in corneal surgery and transplants that will contribute to future generations’ sight-advancement opportunities; and

Whereas, Corneal transplants are one of the most common transplant procedures, yet the Mayo Clinic reports that 10,000,000 people worldwide are affected by various disorders that would benefit from corneal transplantation; and

Whereas, The Eye Bank Association of America and its member banks restore sight and change lives of over 70,000 people each year; and

Whereas, The Michigan Eye-Bank provided 1,006 corneal transplants to Michiganders and other patients worldwide last year; and

Whereas; The Michigan Eye-Bank contributes important resources toward finding innovative treatments and cures for widespread blinding eye diseases; and

Whereas, The residents of the state of Michigan are generous in their willingness to donate, hitting 50 percent in registered donors this year; and

Whereas, Promoting eye donation awareness and acknowledging the commodity and service donors provide will increase tissue safety and efficacy of corneal tissue as well as the number of tissue donations for Michiganders; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2015 as Eye Donor Month in the state of Michigan. We encourage eye banks, medical facilities and institutions, health educators, and policy makers to support this event; and be it further

Resolved, That we support the corneal researchers, technicians, the eye banking community, and policy makers as they work to advance the technologies and methods in medical standards of transplant surgery; and be it further

Resolved, That we encourage health fairs, school education programs, and community outreach projects as well as the production of print and broadcast information designed to educate the community about their important role in sight restoration.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Lucido, Goike, Farrington, Barrett, LaFontaine, Forlini, Derek Miller, Yanez, Chirkun, Sarah Roberts, Lane, Maturen and Webber offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 29.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to require the U.S. Department of Defense to ensure that replacement aircraft are assigned to Selfridge Air National Guard Base to compensate for the proposed elimination of the A-10 fleet.

Whereas, The proposed U.S. Department of Defense budget would eliminate the nation’s A-10 fleet, including aircraft at Michigan’s Selfridge Air National Guard Base. Selfridge currently is home to 18 A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft, directly supporting 535 jobs related to that mission; and

Whereas, The proposed cuts would have a dramatic effect on the lives and morale of the dedicated men and women who choose to serve our country at Selfridge Air National Guard Base and other U.S. military bases. The elimination of the A-10 fleet would place in jeopardy more than 400 jobs at Selfridge alone; and

Whereas, In Michigan, these proposed cuts would have immeasurable impacts on Macomb County and the local communities surrounding the Selfridge Air National Guard Base. For nearly a century, the base has been a source of community pride and local jobs, with the local economic benefit worth more than $700 million to residents and businesses in several surrounding cities and townships. In addition, the base is a key component of disaster response for the entire state and a vital base for our nation’s homeland security; and

Whereas, The A-10 fleet should not be eliminated until an enduring fighter aircraft mission, or suitable enduring non-fighter mission supplementary to the KC-135 Air Refueling Tanker, can be assigned to Selfridge Air National Guard Base. The elimination of the A-10 fleet will make Selfridge vulnerable to closure in future Base Realignment and Closure Commission recommendations. Assigning replacement aircraft would not only maintain the viability of this important base for homeland security, but would also be cost-effective: the Air National Guard can operate aircraft at about half the cost of an active duty unit; and

Whereas, The brave pilots and crew who serve in the A-10 unit based at Selfridge Air National Guard Base have performed brilliantly against the enemies of freedom on battlefields across the globe providing desperately needed close air support for our nation’s warriors. It is vital to our national security that those skilled airmen continue to be utilized to defend our nation; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to require the U.S. Department of Defense to ensure that replacement aircraft are assigned to Selfridge Air National Guard Base to compensate for the proposed elimination of the A-10 fleet; 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 was referred to the Committee on Military and Veterans Affairs.

Reps. Derek Miller, Kelly, LaVoy, Rutledge, Moss, Schor, Yanez, Plawecki, Chirkun, Lane, Faris, Goike, Durhal, Dianda, Lucido, Forlini, Sheppard, Howrylak, Sarah Roberts, Hoadley and Hovey-Wright offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 30.

A resolution to urge the Congress of the United States to oppose the fast-tracking of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade agreement.

Whereas, The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a proposed free trade agreement currently being negotiated by twelve nations, including the United States. While the draft text includes traditional free trade elements, the TPP moves exponentially beyond the realm of removing or lessening import tariffs, export subsides, and other barriers to the free exchange of goods; and

Whereas, The trade agreement, as drafted, would adversely revise regulations across the board and reduce access to some goods. TPP would retract numerous U.S. regulations and health safeguards aimed at improving and protecting our environment for the 21st century. Moreover, the trade agreement would relocate millions of American jobs in a turbulent economy to other nations, decrease our access to affordable medicine, increase the volume of unsafe food and goods in American markets, and roll back regulatory safeguards many nations, including the United States, have adopted to restore financial stability; and

Whereas, The widely-publicized plan for certification would undermine Congress’ responsibility to conduct a full public review and approval and flies in the face of the long-standing principle of democratic transparency. With the support of the president’s administration, members of Congress have proposed using “fast-track” legislation that, if enacted, would limit debate on the TPP, prevent amendments to the agreement, and require an up-or-down vote by both chambers within ninety days. This plan would exacerbate Congress’ historically low influence over the language negotiated by the United States Trade Representative. Congress must not abdicate its responsibility to ensure any approved agreement advances the best interests of the American citizenry; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Congress of the United States to oppose the fast-tracking of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade agreement; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the United States Trade Representative, 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 Commerce and Trade.
