Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Wentworth, Allor, Calley, Canfield, Clemente, Cochran, Cox, Crawford, Faris, Geiss, Greig, Hughes, Kahle, Leutheuser, Sneller and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 383.
A resolution to declare September 22-29, 2018, as Trails Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Michigan’s wealth of trails provides an abundance of opportunities for residents and visitors to enjoy our state’s spectacular natural resources. Michigan is known as The Trails State because of the more than 12,500 miles of designated land trails; and 4,280 miles of locally-designated water trails; and
Whereas, The Great Lake to Lake Route One will be the state’s first destination trail stretching from South Haven to Port Huron and has been recognized by the Michigan Senate in SR 9. When ultimately completed, The Iron Belle Trail, stretching from Belle Isle in Detroit to Ironwood in the western Upper Peninsula, will also be a destination trail and one of the longest such trails in the nation; and
Whereas, The state’s trails and trail towns will be prominently featured in the new Pure Michigan Trail Designation program that will be helpful in promoting the state’s specially-designated trails. Our state’s trail system plays a significant role in strengthening Michigan’s economy and supporting thousands of jobs, primarily through small-business owners. The state’s trail system provides residents with broad access to a low-cost, accessible and enjoyable way to improve health and reduce obesity, thereby decreasing health care costs; and
Whereas, Trail-related activities, including hiking, walking, snowmobiling, running, biking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, paddling and using off-road vehicles, are among the most popular and growing means of enjoying the outdoors; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan hosts more than 5,000 miles of hiking trails designed for walkers, hikers, trails runners and other outdoor enthusiasts to explore the state’s natural areas, including 1,200 miles of the nation’s longest National Scenic Trail, the North Country National Scenic Trail; and
Whereas, Michigan is known as one of the top states for mountain biking, with an unmatched diversity of trail systems and over 1600 miles of natural surface trails; including an International Mountain Biking Association Ride Center designation in Copper Harbor. Many people already refer to Michigan as the mountain biking capital of the Midwest; and
Whereas, Michigan is known for its vast water resources leading to significant opportunities for water trails throughout the state as local units of government and water trail organizations have formed to implement hundreds of miles of water trails that can be enjoyed by many. Statistics demonstrate that paddle-sports are one of the fastest-growing outdoor activities in the United States, attracting people of all ages and abilities, as well as water trail-tourists that contribute millions of dollars to Michigan’s economy; and
Whereas, The existence of quality trails helps to strengthen the appeal of communities by boosting quality-of-life amenities that attract businesses and increase property values. Trails provide alternative, scenic transportation routes that help to decrease road congestion and pollution and serve to connect communities to each other. Michigan’s rich network of trails throughout the Upper and Lower peninsulas provide residents and visitors with scenic spaces in which to explore nature, appreciate wildlife, experience solitude or enjoy time with family and friends; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 22-29, 2018, as Trails Week in the state of Michigan.

The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Whiteford, Canfield, Cochran, Crawford, Faris, Hughes, Kahle, Moss and Sneller offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 384.
A resolution to declare September 2018 as PACE Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The PACE (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly) model centers around the belief that it is better for frail elderly individuals to be served while continuing to live independently in the community whenever safely possible; and
Whereas, PACE is a fully integrated model that provides comprehensive highly coordinated services allowing older adults who meet state eligibility criteria for nursing home level of care to continue living in the community; and
Whereas, PACE programs assume full financial risk for all medical care and related services, including transportation, hospitalization, and long-term care, in return for capitated payments from Medicare and Medicaid. This controls costs for the state while providing improved health outcomes and greater satisfaction for participants; and
Whereas, The PACE Association of Michigan was formed in 2015 to support, safeguard, and expand Michigan PACE programs and initiatives through education and advocacy to enhance the lives of PACE participants and their caregivers; and
Whereas, Michigan’s first PACE program opened in 1995. Today, over 2,500 participants are served by 13 PACE programs in 18 sites across the state. These locations include PACE Southeast Michigan, Care Resources, Life Circles PACE, CentraCare, PACE of Southwest Michigan, Huron Valley PACE, Senior CommUnity Care of Michigan, Great Lakes PACE, Genesys PACE, Thome PACE, Community PACE at Home, PACE Central Michigan, and PACE North; now, therefore, be it

House Resolution No. 385.
A resolution to declare September 2018 as Family Meals Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Family Meals Month is a national effort to encourage families to pledge to share more meals at home per week; and
Whereas, Family meals are fun, affordable, and healthier than other dining options; and
Whereas, Ninety-two percent of U.S. consumers say they want to eat more healthy meals, yet only 30 percent of American families share dinner every night; and
Whereas, Conversations around dinner tables establish closer relationships and increase parental involvement. Regular family meals are linked to kids earning higher grades, improving self-esteem, and resisting negative peer pressure; and
Whereas, With each additional family meal shared each week, adolescents are less likely to show symptoms of violence, depression and suicide, less likely to use or abuse drugs or run away, and less likely to engage in risky behaviors; and
Whereas, Children who grow up sharing family meals are more likely to exhibit prosocial behavior as adults, such as sharing, fairness, and respect; and
Whereas, Kids and teens who share meals with their family three or more times per week are significantly less likely to be overweight, more likely to eat healthy foods, and less likely to have eating disorders; and
Whereas, Ninety percent of supermarkets offer fresh, prepared foods, 95 percent offer cooking demos, 86 percent offer cooking classes, and 100 percent offer recipes and meal ideas; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 2018 as Family Meals Month in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That the people of the state of Michigan are encouraged to add one more family meal per week during this month and throughout the year.

Reps. Hoitenga, Allor, Canfield, Faris, Geiss, Hughes, Kahle, Leutheuser and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 386.
A resolution to urge the Congress of the United States to grant additional authority to the Federal Communications Commission allowing it to stop unwanted robocalls and “call spoofing” and to urge the Federal Communications Commission to educate the public on how to report illegal telephone calls.
Whereas, Receipt of unwanted telephone calls is the most frequent complaint received by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from consumers nationwide. Unwanted calls include automated telemarketing or solicitation calls that deliver a recorded message (also known as robocalls); and
Whereas, Recently, these robocalls have been combined with a process called “spoofing” in which the call appears to originate from a local, often legitimate, number to trick consumers into answering the call. As technology continues to evolve, the number of robocalls and spoofing continues to grow; and
Whereas, Under the federal Truth in Caller ID Act, individuals are prohibited from transmitting misleading or inaccurate caller ID information with the intent to defraud, cause harm, or wrongly obtain anything of value. Although the FCC has initiated new policy initiatives to combat illegal robocalls and ID spoofing, more needs to be done; and
Whereas, Congress should pass legislation to provide the FCC with the tools and resources it needs to combat illegal and disruptive robocalls; and
Whereas, The FCC encourages consumers to file a complaint when an illegal call is received. Although the FCC uses social media and the internet to reach consumers, the FCC should use all means available to provide consumers with information needed to file a complaint; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Congress of the United States to grant additional authority to the Federal Communications Commission allowing it to stop unwanted robocalls and “call spoofing”; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge the Federal Communications Commission to educate the public on how to report illegal telephone calls; 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, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and the chairman and commissioners of the Federal Communications Commission.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Communications and Technology.
Rep. Sheppard offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 387.
A resolution to encourage the Michigan Agency for Energy to undertake a collaborative discussion with all interested stakeholders concerning the potential to integrate energy storage into Michigan’s electric market.
Whereas, The emergence of energy storage technologies has the potential to revolutionize electric markets in Michigan and around the country. Hundreds of companies in the United States and thousands of American workers are building energy storage systems that could reshape the industry; and
Whereas, Understanding the feasibility of energy storage in Michigan and how energy storage technologies may impact the state’s consumers are critically important. Stakeholders need information on energy storage’s value to the electric grid, impact on consumer rates and service quality, broader economic effects, and potential for new services; and
Whereas, It is important for policymakers to have a good understanding of how energy storage can be deployed under existing laws and regulations, as well as whether changes need to be made in order to prepare for the widespread adoption of these technologies. For instance, Public Act 342 of 2016 encourages “energy waste reduction,” including load management to reduce provider cost, a policy that could potentially be augmented by energy storage technologies. There may be other ways for lawmakers and regulators to promote the adoption of energy storage in a way that benefits Michigan residents; and
Whereas, The federal government and other states are taking steps to prepare for changes in electric markets brought about by energy storage technologies and Michigan needs to do the same; and
Whereas, United States Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) chaired a hearing on October 3, 2017, to discuss current and emerging energy storage technologies, underscoring the growing need for building a stronger and more resilient grid following the hurricanes that impacted Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands; and
Whereas, United States Senator Jeff Flake (R-Arizona) introduced S. 1455 on June 28, 2017, to amend the United States Energy Storage Act of 2007 in order to direct the Secretary of Energy to establish new goals for the Department of Energy relating to energy storage and to carry out certain demonstration projects related to energy storage; and
Whereas, On December 18, 2015, the United States Congress passed a provision in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, extending the solar investment tax credit that includes energy storage paired with solar through 2021; and
Whereas, On February 15, 2018, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued Order 841 to remove barriers to the participation of electric storage resources in the capacity, energy, and ancillary service markets operated by Regional Transmission Organizations and Independent System Operators; and
Whereas, Several states, including California, Oregon, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, Colorado, North Carolina, and Massachusetts have passed legislation encouraging the deployment of energy storage; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we encourage the Michigan Agency for Energy to undertake a collaborative discussion with all interested stakeholders concerning the potential to integrate energy storage into Michigan’s electric market; and be it further
Resolved, That any findings or recommendations be transmitted to the Michigan House of Representatives and Senate, and be made available to the public; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Executive Director of the Michigan Agency for Energy.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Energy Policy.

Theis, Glenn, Bellino, Hornberger, Barrett, Bizon, Hauck, Maturen, Tedder, Cole, Whiteford, Rendon, Kelly, Afendoulis, Allor, Crawford, Griffin, Leutheuser, Kahle, LaFave, Howell, VanderWall, Jones, Canfield, Cochran, Faris, Greig, Hughes, Sneller and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 388.
A resolution to recognize myalgic encephalomyelitis as a serious, debilitating disease and urge key entities to improve patient care, prioritize new research, educate health professionals, and raise awareness about the severity of the disease.
Whereas, Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) or ME/CFS, has been found by the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) to be “a serious, chronic, complex, and systemic disease that frequently and dramatically limits the activities of affected patients,” leaving them with a lower quality of life than others without ME/CFS; and
Whereas, More than 41,500 Michigan residents of all ages, races, and genders are believed to be afflicted with ME/CFS. An estimated 836,000 to 2.5 million Americans and 17 million individuals worldwide are afflicted; and
Whereas, ME/CFS persists for years or even decades because of a lack of treatments, leaving one quarter of patients homebound or bedbound. Many students with the disease are unable to attend school, and 50 to 75 percent of ME/CFS patients are unable to work, resulting in an annual economic burden of $17 million to $24 million in medical expenses and lost productivity; and
Whereas, The NAM noted a lack of knowledge about the disease due to a “paucity of research” and “remarkably little research funding,” and concluded that “more research is essential”; and
Whereas, The NAM noted that the medical community “generally still doubts the existence or seriousness of this disease,” and patients have difficulty being diagnosed or accessing quality medical care; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we:
• Recognize that myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a tragic, disabling disease that destroys the lives of many patients and takes a severe toll on their families, friends, and caretakers;
• Recognize and affirm the commitment of the state of Michigan to improving the availability and quality of medical and supportive care for ME/CFS patients;
• Recommend that the National Institutes of Health fund ME/CFS research at a level commensurate with similarly burdensome diseases;
• Encourage universities in Michigan to focus research attention on this underserved disease;
• Recommend that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention disseminate new ME/CFS medical education that is updated in accordance with recommendations from the National Academy of Medicine, the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Advisory Committee of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, and disease experts; and
• Encourage media organizations to inform the public about the seriousness of the disease; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Director of the National Institutes of Health, and the Michigan Association of State Universities.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Health Policy.
Reps. Allor, Canfield, Cochran and Sneller offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 389.
A resolution to encourage the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to eliminate the wild turkey hunting license application and drawing system and allow for wild turkey licenses to be sold over-the-counter, on a first-come, first-served basis.
Whereas, During the late 1800s, wild turkeys were disappearing in Michigan and the rest of North America due to overhunting and destruction of habitat. Conservationists, concerned with the loss of wild turkey as well as many other species, encouraged wildlife restoration and habitat management nationwide in the late 1930s; and
Whereas, The effort to re-establish turkeys in Michigan began in earnest in the 1950s with the introduction of birds from Pennsylvania into Allegan County. In the 1980s, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) repopulated additional areas of the state with turkeys from Iowa and Missouri and transplanted birds from southern Michigan to northern Michigan. Special attention was also paid to restoring wild turkey habitat; and
Whereas, Today, Michigan’s wild turkey population is at historic high levels with an estimated population of 200,000 with more than 30,000 wild turkeys harvested each spring. Wild turkeys can be found in every county in Michigan’s Lower Peninsula and many areas of the Upper Peninsula; and
Whereas, Hunting is an important tool used by the MDNR to manage the wild turkey population. The MDNR instituted a lottery system allowing hunters to apply to hunt wild turkey in a specific hunting area on specific dates. MDNR limits the number of wild turkeys that may be harvested in any particular hunting area; and
Whereas, In the early years of the reinstituted hunting season, not every hunter who participated in the wild turkey drawing was successful. However, the wild turkey population, the number of licenses made available by the MDNR, and the number of hunting areas have increased over the years. Now the MDNR regularly has leftover licenses when the wild turkey drawing is complete. These licenses are available over-the-counter to hunters on a first-come, first-served basis; and
Whereas, Over-the-counter sales eliminate the red tape involved in having to submit an application to participate in a drawing for a permit. One less step is required of the hunter in obtaining a wild turkey hunting license, providing a more convenient and efficient purchase process. With more licenses available than drawing applications, the MDNR should allow hunters to purchase one license which is good for a specific hunting unit over-the-counter until the quota of licenses for that unit is met; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we encourage the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to eliminate the wild turkey hunting license application and drawing system and allow for wild turkey licenses to be sold over-the-counter, on a first-come, first-served basis; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the chief of the Wildlife Division, the Director of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the members of the Natural Resources Commission.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources.
Reps. McCready, Canfield, Cochran, Faris, Greig and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 390.
A resolution to declare September 2018 as Life Insurance Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Life insurance is critically important in protecting ourselves and the people we love; and
Whereas, Every year, the insurance industry provides tremendous financial relief and security to families who have experienced the loss of a loved one; and
Whereas, Despite its vast importance, many people do not have life insurance coverage; and
Whereas, Life insurance is critically important in providing peace of mind for those affected by the loss of a loved one; and
Whereas, September 2018 has been designated as the month to generate awareness of life insurance and encourage those who are not insured to consult a qualified insurance professional and take actions required to provide a financially secure future for their families and loved ones; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 2018 as Life Insurance Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Rep. McCready moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:

House Resolution No. 391.
A resolution to declare September 2018 as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Healthy children are the most important resource in the great state of Michigan and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) pose a serious threat to the potential health of our future generations; and
Whereas, More than 30 years have passed since Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) was identified and named as a birth disorder by United States researchers; and
Whereas, Prenatal exposure to alcohol can cause birth defects, mental disorders, learning disabilities, and attention deficits; and
Whereas, The estimated number of FASD per year is over 30,000. The incidence rate of full FAS is estimated at 1 out of every 1,000 live births and the incidence rate of FASD is estimated at 1 out of every 100 live births; and
Whereas, The U.S. Surgeon General states that there is no safe amount of alcohol to consume during pregnancy and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders can only be prevented by avoiding alcohol entirely during pregnancy; and
Whereas, Individuals with FASD often have secondary hardships such as trouble with the law, substance abuse issues, disrupted school experiences, employment problems, and homelessness; and
Whereas, FASD is entirely preventable; and
Whereas, People around the world began observing International FAS Awareness Day on September 9 of each year beginning in 1999 in order that on the ninth day of the ninth month of the year the world will remember that a woman should abstain from alcohol during the nine months of pregnancy. Starting in 2015, the month of September was recognized at Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Month; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 2018 as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We strongly urge all citizens to increase their knowledge of the effects of prenatal exposure to alcohol, to increase their level of compassion for individuals affected by FASD, and to do all which may lie in their power to reduce the incidence of FASD in the state of Michigan in the future.

Whereas, Although the majority of 7th to 12th grade girls say harassment regularly happens and hurts their ability to learn, 80% of U.S. schools report zero harassment; and
Whereas, Fewer than 25% of women on college campuses who experience rape describe the event as rape; and
Whereas, Young female victims of nonconsensual sexual acts are more likely to experience depression, PTSD, self-blame, and alcohol and/or drug abuse; and
Whereas, Despite the existence of nationwide sexual assault prevention programs and passage of The Campus Sexual Violence Elimination (SaVE) Act by Congress, there is no Michigan-specific awareness day focusing on the issue and importance of consent; and
Whereas, Sexual assault education on college campuses has been shown to increase bystander intervention to prevent sexual assault, improve outcomes for individuals at risk, and increase pro-social attitudes and opposition to rape; and
Whereas, Approximately 25.3% of rapes occur due to a personal matter. The closer the relationship between the female victim and the offender, the less likely the rape will be reported; and
Whereas, Almost 67% of sexual assaults are committed by someone known to the victim; and
Whereas, Sexual assaults on college campuses are most likely to occur during the first three months of the school year. In Michigan, nonconsensual sexual activity is equivalent to sexual assault; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 25, 2018, as Youth Consent Day in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Rep. Garrett offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 393.
A resolution to declare October 7-13, 2018, as Auto Insurance Reform Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The most recent data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (2014) draws a stark contrast between Michigan and its surrounding states. The organization stated the average auto insurance premium nationwide is $982.27 and $1,350.58 in Michigan; and
Whereas, According to the Michigan Chamber of Commerce’s No-Fault Auto Insurance Reform report, Michigan is the most expensive Midwestern state for auto insurance, outpacing its neighboring states by hundreds of dollars. The report stated that auto insurance rates in Michigan are over $496 higher than Illinois, over $621 higher than Indiana, over $583 higher than Ohio, and over $633 higher than Wisconsin. In 1997, Michigan had the 18th highest cost of auto insurance in nation. Our state was the 11th highest state in 2007, the 8th highest rate state in 2010, and was the 6th most costly state 2013; and
Whereas, It is time for some true reforms to the state’s no-fault auto insurance statute. The state’s no-fault auto insurance system needs to be fair and equitable for all citizens and the insurance companies must be stopped from price gouging. True reforms to the state’s no-fault auto insurance rates shall include eliminating the practice of establishing auto insurance rates based upon a person’s race, zip code, credit score, gender, marital status, or education. It is imperative that the no-fault auto insurance rates shall be based primarily on a person’s driving record and not any other discriminatory criteria; and
Whereas, It is time for the citizens of the state of Michigan to receive a break in paying high rates for auto insurance; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 7-13, 2018, as Auto Insurance Reform Week in the state of Michigan. We urge all citizens to observe this momentous occasion.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Insurance.
Reps. Clemente, Canfield, Cochran, Cox, Faris, Greig, Moss, Sneller, Sowerby and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 394.
A resolution to declare September 22-29, 2018, as French-Canadian and Métis Heritage Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Michigan celebrates the 6th annual French-Canadian and Métis Heritage Week in Michigan in 2018. A signature event of the occasion is the Ste. Anne Parish de Détroit Rendez-vous; and
Whereas, This year is the 350th anniversary of the founding of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, by Father Jacques Marquette; and
Whereas, French-Canadians and Métis people continue to honor our historic and contemporary ties to the indigenous peoples of the Great Lakes commencing during the era of exploration and trade; and
Whereas French-Canadians and Métis in Michigan continue to acknowledge historic and contemporary links to Canada, in particular to Québec and our Ontario border communities; and
Whereas, The Québec Government Office in Chicago has supported and commended Michigan’s commitment to our heritage and trade ties between the Great Lakes states and Québec; and
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That members of this legislative body declare September 22-29, 2018, as French-Canadian and Métis Heritage Week in the state of Michigan. We join all those of French-Canadian and Métis ancestry in celebrating their heritage and contributions to our state.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Camilleri, Canfield, Clemente, Cochran, Cox, Crawford, Faris, Geiss, Greig, Moss, Sneller, Sowerby and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 395.
A resolution to declare September 15-October 15, 2018, as Hispanic Heritage Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, There has been a long and important presence of Hispanic and Latino Americans in North America and the United States of America; and
Whereas, The month of September 15 to October 15 represents the anniversary of independence for Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua; and
Whereas, Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15 by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America; and
Whereas, Each year, the United States recognizes the economic, cultural, and social contributions that Spanish-speaking peoples have brought to our nation, including the gifts of law, religion, agriculture, art, music, education, technology, architecture, cuisine, theater, and exploration; and
Whereas, Time and again throughout our nation’s history, Hispanic-Americans have faithfully defended the principles of freedom and a representative government; and
Whereas, Hispanic Heritage Week was approved by President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period from September 15 to October 15, and enacted into law on August 17, 1988, as Public Law 100-402; and
Whereas, This state is fortunate to count among its population a large concentration of citizens of Spanish and Latin American descent, including those who have lived in this state for generations and those who are new to this state, who contribute to our economy and society through their commitment to professions, commerce, family, and the arts; and
Whereas, During the month from September 15 to October 15, this state’s Hispanic American community celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month through a series of special programs featuring Hispanic history, food, dance, and art; and
Whereas, National Hispanic Heritage Month is the period of time in the United States when people recognize the contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans to the United States and celebrate these people’s varied heritage, background, and culture; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 15-October 15, 2018, as Hispanic Heritage Month in the state of Michigan. We recognize and celebrate the contributions, service, and cultures of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America; 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 question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
