God, we come before You, because we have the ability to do so; thank You for blessing us with a country in which we are free. Free to speak, move, and worship in whatever way we choose. Thank You God for the blessings You have bestowed upon all of us, whether it be with co-workers, friends, or family. Thank You for our service men and women, the Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, and Airmen, and the sacrifices they make for this country. Please be with everyone in this room today, help guide our decisions, and our actions, in order to bless one another, as You have blessed us.

We find ourselves in troubling times, filled with fear, anger, and distrust of one another. We ask You God, that during these times of trouble we might show each other love. God give us the strength to show each other the love and kindness, which You have laid out as an example for us. We pray for the betterment of our nation through what is done in this room, through the men and women who work hard every day for those who have elected them.

We bring these things to the feet of You God, and ask for Your blessings and provisions upon us. I pray all of this in the name of Jesus Christ,

Amen.”

Messages from the Senate

January 13, 2016

The Honorable Kevin Cotter

Speaker of the House of Representatives

Capitol Building

Lansing, Michigan 48913

Dear Mr. Speaker:

By direction of the Senate, I hereby notify you that a quorum of the Senate has assembled and is ready to proceed with the business of the session.

Very respectfully,

Jeffrey F. Cobb

Secretary of the Senate

By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Yanez, Cochran, LaVoy, Chirkun, Plawecki, Derek Miller, Chang, Garrett, Talabi, Phelps, Neeley, Hoadley, Liberati, Wittenberg, Byrd, Smiley, Robinson and Irwin offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 195.

A resolution to urge the United States Senate to oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership and any similar trade deals that fail to restructure the misguided and failed policies of the past.

Whereas, The Trans-Pacific Partnership is the latest in a string of free trade agreements designed at the expense of hard-working Americans. The growing trade deficits, driven by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), China’s accession to the World Trade Organization, and the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement, have displaced 700,000 jobs, 3.2 million jobs, and 75,000 jobs, respectively. Moreover, under NAFTA-style trade rules, the U.S. annual trade deficit has increased dramatically from $70 billion in 1993—the year before NAFTA went into effect—to more than $508 billion in 2014; and

Whereas, This free trade agreement will cause significant injury to American manufacturing and hard-working families. Since 2000, the number of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. has declined by 5 million, and the Trans-Pacific Partnership will exacerbate this problem. Jobs lost due to trade agreements devastate families and entire communities and can permanently reduce lifetime earnings for hundreds of thousands of American workers; and

Whereas, Poorly constructed trade agreements, like the Trans-Pacific Partnership, come at great cost to our communities, our state, and our nation. The offshoring of manufacturing and service-related jobs deprive local and state governments of sorely needed revenue, jeopardizing the livelihood of millions of public servants as well as construction workers whose jobs depend upon infrastructure building, repair, and maintenance. Nationally, the long decline of the American manufacturing base—exacerbated by bad trade policies that reward outsourcing—has undermined our economic security and poses a direct threat to our national security; and

Whereas, The Trans-Pacific Partnership has been negotiated in secret. This has effectively shut state and local governments out of the process, limiting our ability to influence its rules to ensure the people of the state of Michigan can participate in the benefits of trade. Additionally, given the enactment of fast track trade negotiating authority, states, localities, and their citizens will have no opportunity to correct shortcomings in the Trans-Pacific Partnership since its text will not be made public until it is final and no longer can be improved; and

Whereas, The process by which “free trade” agreements are constructed gives a disproportionate voice to powerful global corporations interested in advancing an agenda that undermines the public interest and threatens democracy. The process in U.S. trade deals for the past 25 years has been corporate-driven, incorporating rules that skew benefits to economic elites. In NAFTA and all but two of the U.S. trade deals that followed, special legal rights for foreign investors, known as “investor-to-state dispute settlement” or ISDS, were included that allow foreign firms to bypass state and federal courts and to challenge state and local laws, regulations, and administrative and judicial decisions in international tribunals. Foreign investors already have used NAFTA’s ISDS provisions to challenge decisions regarding local building permits, state bans on toxic chemicals, and decisions of state courts; and

Whereas, The Trans-Pacific Partnership has reused the failed practices of the past. The Trans-Pacific Partnership is likely to include provisions locking in monopoly protections for expensive specialty drugs called biologics and constrict the government’s ability to limit spending on drugs, potentially increasing drug costs for the government and all Americans. The agreement will also likely override local labor laws, environmental regulations, and other issues. The environmental provisions are particularly weakened compared to past agreements, making it more difficult to punish violators; and

Whereas, Free trade agreements should be more inclusive of all impacted parties. In Michigan, as in our nation as a whole, promoting economic growth with equity requires an approach that reforms the entire trade negotiation process to ensure that voices of workers, farmers, small businesses, families, and communities are heard and their interests addressed. Repeating old mistakes in negotiating new trade agreements, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, represents a missed opportunity to strengthen our economy, reduce income inequality, and promote sustainable growth. Congress must ensure all voices are heard; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the United States Senate to oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership and any similar trade deals that fail to restructure the misguided and failed policies of the past; and be it further

Resolved, That we urge that any free trade agreement only be approved by the United States Senate if the agreement contains provisions that:

• Exclude investor-to-state dispute settlement and other provisions that favor foreign companies over domestic ones and undermine public choices;

• Ensure that countries cannot undercut U.S.-based producers with weaker labor and environmental laws and enforcement;

• Ensure that the U.S. will engage in robust enforcement of trade rules, including labor and environmental rules;

• Include strong rule-of-origin provisions to promote economic growth and job creation in the U.S.;

• Promote high standards of protection for workplaces, products, and natural resources rather than promoting a race to the bottom; and

• Put the interests of people and the planet over the interests of private profit.

; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Commerce and Trade.

Reps. Sarah Roberts, Yanez, Derek Miller, Irwin and LaVoy offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 196.

A resolution to urge the Congress of the United States to oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership because of its adverse impact on Medicare and Medicaid.

Whereas, The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a free trade agreement between the United States and eleven other Pacific Rim nations. For the nations participating with the United States—Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam—this agreement has been advertised as one that will help foster economic growth through tariff reduction and more open trade of goods and services. However, this trade agreement, as with similar agreements of the past, comes at a great cost to American consumers; and

Whereas, The patent provisions provided in this free trade agreement will lead to higher medical costs everywhere. The 12-year exclusivity patent protection period in the United States for biologics—drugs used to treat cancer and other conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis—is generous compared to other nations. The shorter period in this agreement—effectively 8 years—still unreasonably limits access to data and prevents the introduction of cheaper generic medication, blocking access to more affordable medication. Moreover, minor changes in the drug formulas could lead to patent extensions, further delaying the introduction of cheaper generic medication; and

Whereas, The trade agreement could allow foreign corporations or subsidiaries to challenge the Medicare and Medicaid drug pricing program and discount program if the drug pricing in these programs affects their profits. The agreement would allow these entities to seek reimbursement for drugs and devices if reimbursement rates are discriminatory and below market, which the programs do by design. This could cost our government billions and place at risk U.S. programs, including Medicare drug discounts, the Medicaid Preferred Drug List, the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, and medication available through the Veterans Administration system; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Congress of the United States to oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership because of its adverse impact on Medicare and Medicaid; 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 Commerce and Trade.

Reps. Runestad, Kesto, Kelly, Cole, McCready, Aaron Miller, Chatfield, Johnson, Leutheuser, Lauwers, Webber, Rendon, Iden, Callton, Pagel, Hooker, Glenn, Sheppard, Outman, Somerville, Barrett, Tedder, Lucido, Inman, Chirkun, Potvin, Vaupel, Jenkins, Santana, Kivela, Neeley, Rutledge, Derek Miller, Plawecki, Smiley, Brunner, Yanez, Greig, Byrd, Robinson, Clemente, Dianda, Bumstead, Hovey-Wright, LaVoy, Howrylak and Heise offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 197.

A resolution to urge the President of the United States to declare that the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham is committing genocide against Christians and other ethnic and religious minorities in the Middle East, thus enabling direct intervention and availability of resources to stop this atrocity.

Whereas, Christians, Yezidis, Turkmen, Sabea-Mandeans, Kakaʻe, Kurds, and other ethnic and religious minorities have been an integral part of the fabric of the Middle East for millennia. They have coexisted with Muslim communities and contributed to the cultural and historical traditions of the region; and

Whereas, Christians and other ethnic and religious minorities are currently being subjected to a deliberate and calculated campaign to bring about the eradication and displacement of their communities and the destruction of their cultural heritage in the Middle East. Christians and other ethnic and religious minorities have been murdered, subjugated, forced to emigrate, and suffered grievous bodily and psychological harm, including sexual enslavement and abuse, at the hands of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). They have been targeted specifically because they do not share the views of ISIS concerning religion; and

Whereas, The United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, signed on December 9, 1948, defines genocide as committing the following acts “with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group”; and

Whereas, The United States and the rest of the world must recognize, declare, and denounce the atrocities committed and supported by ISIS for what they are: genocide. This declaration will enable direct intervention and availability of resources so that Christians and other ethnic and religious minorities are not forced out of their homelands; and

Whereas, Without an official declaration of genocide by the United States and the United Nations, history has warned that the atrocities will continue and nations will not be united in their resolve to bring an end to the crisis through effective coordination and the commitment of all available resources. Failure to declare will allow the further displacement of Christians and ethnic and religious minorities in the Middle East and prevent effective action to end these crimes against humanity; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the President of the United States to declare that the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) is committing genocide against Christians and other ethnic and religious minorities in the Middle East, thus enabling direct intervention and availability of resources to stop this atrocity; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

Reps. Chatfield, Glenn, Aaron Miller, Heise, and Hooker offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 198.

A resolution to declare opposition to the relocation of Syrian and other unvettable refugees from failed states via the United States Refugee Resettlement Program into Michigan and the rejection of state funds to assist in the program.

Whereas, The federal government has indicated that thousands of refugees from the Middle East will be relocated to the United States in the next few years through the federal Refugee Resettlement Program. It is anticipated that each state will receive these refugees through designated relocation agencies approved by the federal government; and

Whereas, The United States Constitution nowhere gives the Executive Branch the power to settle aliens in a state contrary to the express wishes of that state. Absent such an expressed power, according to the Tenth Amendment, such a power cannot exist; and

Whereas, The refugee resettlement process will present serious financial and security problems for Michigan. Refugees and their families present unfunded burdens to schools, law enforcement, housing, and health care; and

Whereas, Michael Steinbach, Assistant Director for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), informed the U.S. House Homeland Security Committee in February, 2015, that Syrian refugees pose a great risk to Americans and raised the possibility that refugees could have connections to foreign terrorist groups. The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) has vowed to infiltrate refugees all over the world so as to enter countries under the guise of persecuted refugees. At a congressional hearing held October 22, 2015, FBI Director James Comey issued another warning about the FBI’s inability to screen Syrian refugees entering the United States; and

Whereas, Under these circumstances there is a compelling governmental interest in protecting the security and economy of our state and nation. Article I, Section 1 of the Michigan Constitution declares that our state government is for the benefit, security and protection of Michigan’s citizens and those interests should be primary; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, that we hereby express our concern over the United States Refugee Resettlement Program and any possible state expenditures for the program in Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That we will not approve or proceed with resettlement of Syrian and other unvettable refugees from failed states via the United States Refugee Resettlement Program and reject the expenditure of related state funds to assist the United States Refugee Resettlement Program in Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That we petition Governor Rick Snyder to not resume authorization for the resettlement of Syrian and other unvettable refugees from failed states in Michigan until:

• The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) shows evidence and certifies that the proposed refugee resettlement will not have any negative impact on the current provision of services to Michigan residents and will not cause an increase in the MDHSS budget.

• The State Board of Education is able to show evidence and certify to the Governor that the refugee resettlement will not have an adverse impact on local school districts and that local school districts will not need additional resources.

• The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) certifies to the Michigan State Police that each refugee entering Michigan has been subject to a thorough background check similar to the federal form E86 used to screen applicants for employment with DHS and that none of the refugees pose any national security threat.

; 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 Government Operations.

Reps. Iden, Crawford, Heise, Hughes and LaVoy offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 199.

A resolution to declare January 2016 as Mentoring Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The future of Michigan’s children is the responsibility of all citizens; and

Whereas, By strengthening our children through mentoring, we are building a stronger future for them, our communities, and our great state; and

Whereas, By sharing their time with a young person, a mentor can “Pass It On” by sharing of themselves with a young person; and

Whereas, There are thousands of young people in Michigan waiting for a mentor; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 2016 as Mentoring Month in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Kelly, Heise, Hughes and LaVoy offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 200.

A resolution to declare January 31-February 6, 2016, as Catholic Schools Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, There are 53,364 students attending 228 Catholic elementary and high schools throughout our great state; and

Whereas, The Constitution of Michigan states that “Religion, morality and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged”; and

Whereas, Catholic school parents pay tuition in addition to supporting public schools through their taxes; and

Whereas, Catholic schools comply with the same health, safety, and general welfare regulations required of public schools, but without compensation from the state government; and

Whereas, The viability of Catholic schools should be encouraged so that declines in Catholic school enrollment, which necessitate increases in public expenditures in the School Aid Fund, can be avoided; and

Whereas, Catholic schools instill a broad, values-based education, emphasizing the lifelong development of moral, intellectual, and social values in young people, making them responsible citizens of our state and nation; and

Whereas, Catholic schools educate many students who are non-Catholic, many students who are economically disadvantaged, and a good education remains the single best way out of poverty; and

Whereas, With their traditionally high academic standards, high graduation rates, and commitment to community service, Catholic schools and their graduates make a positive contribution to society; and

Whereas, January 31-February 6, 2016, has been designated as Catholic Schools Week, with the theme “Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service” as denoted by the National Catholic Educational Association and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops; and

Whereas, The common good of the state of Michigan is strengthened through the continued existence of Catholic schools; and

Whereas, Catholic schools are part of a solution to support families and to build productive lives for future generations; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 31-February 6, 2016, as Catholic Schools Week in the state of Michigan. We support the continued dedication of Catholic schools across Michigan toward academic excellence and the key role Catholic schools play in promoting and ensuring a brighter, stronger future for students; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Catholic Conference with our highest esteem.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Education.
