Fr. Mark Rutherford, Pastor of Saint Mary Catholic Church in Williamston, offered the following invocation:

“O Lord our Heavenly Father, King of kings, and Lord of lords, Who from Your throne behold all of humanity, and reign supreme over all of creation;

Look down in mercy, we ask You, on these members of the House of Representatives, who seek Your wisdom and gracious protection, desiring this day to renew their desire to serve this great state of Michigan.

To You they appeal for guidance in their efforts; to You they now look for favor and support, which You can give. Take them, therefore, Heavenly Father, under Your nurturing care; give them wisdom in their assembly and valor in the art of governing; convince each one of them today as You did on the first day of their service of the purpose for which they took up service for their fellow citizens; support them to never give up those causes of justice even when they grow tired of the fight.

Be present, God of wisdom, and direct the councils of this great assembly; enable them to settle things on the best and surest foundation; that the scene of injustice may be speedily closed; that order, harmony, and peace may be effectively restored where it has been lost; that truth and justice, freedom of religion and speech, prevail and flourish among the people of this great state. Preserve the health of their bodies and the sharpness of their minds; shower down on them and the millions they here represent, all the temporal blessings You see fit for them and all of us in this state, and one day crown each one of them with Your everlasting reward. All this we ask in the name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, Your Son. Amen.

(Some parts taken from, and other parts inspired by the First Prayer of the Continental Congress by Reverend Jacob Duche, Anglican pastor, Rector of Christ Church of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, September 7, 1774, 9 AM.)”

Messages from the Senate

January 10, 2018

The Honorable Tom Leonard

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 session.

Very respectfully,

Jeffrey F. Cobb

Secretary of the Senate

By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of

Motions and Resolutions

The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 217.

A resolution of tribute offered in memorial for Martin D. Buth, former member of the House of Representatives.

Whereas, The members of this legislative body were saddened to learn of the passing of former Representative Martin D. Buth. A devoted advocate for the communities of Kent County and our state, Mr. Buth was known for his hardworking, bipartisan approach to governing that made him a model of effectiveness and integrity for all public servants; and

Whereas, Martin D. Buth came to the House of Representatives an experienced businessman and local leader. A graduate of Michigan State College in 1940, Mr. Buth returned home to join his family’s dairy farm, which he and his brother ran for twenty-five years. His tenure in public office began as a member of the Plainfield Township Board of Trustees in the 1950s and continued as president of the Michigan Purebred Dairy Cattle Association; and

Whereas, First elected to the House of Representatives in a 1959 special election, Martin D. Buth went on to craft a prodigious career in the chamber lasting more than twenty-three years. He used the Legislature to advance development and growth in the Grand Rapids region, beginning with his sponsorship of legislation that established Grand Valley State University and securing funding to construct its first building. He championed the creation of a television station to service western Michigan and testified before the Federal Communications Commission on its behalf. For more than five decades, Channel 13 has served the Grand Rapids community. Representative Buth was also instrumental in creating Grand Rapids’ southern beltway, M-6. Among his other legislative interests, his command of the Michigan tax code was well known and benefited the entire chamber. In the twilight of his time with the Legislature, he displayed both wisdom and warmth that made him an invaluable mentor to younger members of this body; and

Whereas, Representative Buth did not retire upon leaving the Legislature in 1982, but instead, he continued to work for his community as a member of the Kent County Board of Commissioners, a position which he held for four years. Ever the statesman, Martin Buth left an indelible mark on those who served with him, the people of Kent County, and our state; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Martin D. Buth, a member of this legislative body from 1959 to 1982; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Buth family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.

______

The Speaker called the Speaker Pro Tempore to the Chair.

Reps. Green, Hertel, Elder, Cambensy, Hammoud, Chirkun, Ellison, Gay-Dagnogo, Sowerby, Wittenberg, Pagan, Geiss, Moss, Jones, Faris, Liberati, Love, Sabo and Sneller offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 218.

A resolution to support other post-employment benefits for current and future local government employees and reaffirm our commitment to local government employees for their devoted service to Michigan communities.

Whereas, Employees of local governments depend upon their retirement benefits, including post-employment health benefits, guaranteed to them as a condition of employment. This is especially the case for police and fire officials who, after years of devoted service to their communities, are often forced into early retirement because of dangerous and demanding workplace conditions. Yet, in the face of local financial hardship, local government employees have become the targets of pension and benefit reductions over the past several legislative sessions; and

Whereas, Stripping retirement and other post-employment benefits dishonors the dedication and sacrifice local government employees have made to their communities. Reducing benefits will also have an adverse effect on the ability of local government offices, including police and fire departments, to recruit and retain qualified personnel. Prospective candidates look at the current benefit packages and the actions of state and local decision makers when deciding whether a career in public service will lead to adequate and comfortable retirement benefits; and

Whereas, The needs for one local retirement system in Michigan are different from the needs of another local retirement system. Each local retirement system is unique in the pension benefits they offer, populations they serve, and financial statuses of their funds. For the 340 general purpose counties and municipal governments with other post-employment benefit liabilities, the financial health of these systems and the level of benefits offered vary from plan to plan as well; and

Whereas, Altering such a complex and diverse group of retirement systems requires ample time and thoughtful discussion, not drastic sweeping changes. The Responsible Retirement Reform for Local Government Task Force was formed to develop recommendations that ensure the financial well-being of local retirement systems and the effective delivery of retirement benefits for local public servants. The recommendations given by Governor Snyder and the committee were arrived at after thoughtful bipartisan review and discussion. They recognize that the broad variance of local retirement systems makes it challenging to develop a one-size-fits-all approach to municipal retirement reform; and

Whereas, Crafting legislation that protects the promises made to local public employees and offers attractive benefits to the next generation of first responders and other public servants is of paramount importance. Implementing reforms put forth by the task force—like requiring greater reporting and transparency, fiscal stress testing, and the creation of the Municipal Stability Board—will ensure that the benefits promised are delivered. This bipartisan, fiscally responsible approach recommended by the committee would help resolve unfunded liabilities without sacrificing the benefits of hardworking public employees; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we support other post-employment benefits for current and future local government employees and reaffirm our commitment to local government employees for their devoted service to Michigan communities; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Financial Liability Reform.

Reps. Sabo, Singh, Greig, Faris, Rabhi, Sowerby, Clemente, Sneller, Moss, Ellison, Liberati, Gay-Dagnogo, Byrd, Scott, Yanez, Green, Wittenberg, Neeley, Cochran, Peterson, Lasinski, Elder, Hammoud, Cambensy, Hertel, Brinks, Schor, Pagan, Hoadley, Chirkun, Garrett, Dianda, Geiss, Zemke, Camilleri, Jones, Guerra, Yancey, Love, Chang, LaGrand, Durhal and Santana offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 219.

A resolution to urge the U.S. Congress to reject the current tax reform proposal.

Whereas, The federal tax code impacts our finances and lives significantly. It is important that any potential tax reform is carefully crafted and thoroughly analyzed for any pitfalls or unintended consequences. Moreover, it is vital that any changes to the federal tax code truly benefit working families and those people most in need; and

Whereas, The proposal being considered in Congress promises little to no benefit to our working families who struggle to meet their basic needs. A report from Michigan’s United Way showed that 40 percent of Michigan households could not afford basic needs such as housing, child care, food, health care, and transportation in 2015, among other data that illustrate the struggles of many people in the state. It is unconscionable to exacerbate the problems of hardworking people across Michigan and the country through flawed tax legislation when they are still recovering from the Great Recession; and

Whereas, Donations to charities that help those people in need could be negatively impacted due to the proposed tax changes. Research from the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy indicates that $13 billion in charitable giving could be lost because of changes to the tax deduction structure. Private nonprofit agencies and churches will take a major hit, decreasing their ability to extend a helping hand to vulnerable communities; and

Whereas, Other aspects of American life, such as health care and higher education, would be adversely affected by the proposed tax reform. If paired with a repeal of the health insurance individual mandate, the proposal could upend insurance markets, increase premiums, and lead to people going without coverage. Additionally, deductions for educational expenses, like student loan debt, could be gone under the tax bill; and

Whereas, The long-standing state and local tax (SALT) deduction may be a thing of the past if the tax proposal is enacted. Eliminating the SALT deduction, which some argue amounts to double taxation, would not only hurt taxpayers, but could also harm the finances of state and local governments; and

Whereas, The proposal would disproportionately benefit the wealthy and corporations. For instance, the bill cuts the estate tax and sharply reduces the corporate tax rate; and

Whereas, Passing this bill would explode the deficit by well over $1 trillion over the next ten years, according to nonpartisan analyses. Irresponsibly reforming the tax code at the expense of future generations is unthinkable; and

Whereas, The tax reform proposals in both chambers, now in conference, were poorly vetted, resulting in mistakes and hidden provisions. A flawed process is sure to produce a flawed result. When something as significant as the tax code is the subject of reform, it is of the utmost importance that Congress works with all due diligence; and

Whereas, The tax bill that Congress is currently considering would have far-reaching negative implications for the next decade and beyond. It will take its toll on hardworking families for generations, while adding to our nation’s debt; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the U.S. Congress to reject the current tax reform proposal; 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 Tax Policy.

Reps. Liberati, Calley, Elder, Faris, Howrylak, Kelly, Love, Pagan, Sabo, Sneller, Sowerby and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 220.

A resolution to declare January 2018 as School Board Recognition Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Michigan is home to more than 600 boards of education that work hard to enrich the lives of Michigan’s students through education and directly influence instruction in Michigan’s public schools; and

Whereas, Article VII, Section 2, of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 states that providing for the education of Michigan’s children is a fundamental duty of state government; and

Whereas, Our state’s public education system is designed to meet the educational needs of all children and to empower them to become competent, productive contributors to society and an ever-changing world; and

Whereas, Members of local school boards are dedicated to children, learning, and community, and devote many hours of service to elementary and secondary public education as they continually strive for improvement, excellence, and progress in education; and

Whereas, Local school boards recognize that all children can be successful learners, especially when education is tailored to individual needs of the child; and

Whereas, Local school board members are exceptional people, who have committed themselves to this duty by governing school districts and advancing student achievement in the schools and communities in which they serve; and

Whereas, During this month, we join the Michigan Association of School Boards, Michigan Department of Education, and local school districts and community organizations to recognize and raise awareness of the countless efforts and contributions of local school boards and school board members throughout Michigan; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 2018 as School Board Recognition Month in the state of Michigan. We urge all citizens to observe this momentous occasion.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.
