Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 10

Senate Resolution No. 30

Senate Resolution No. 105

The motion prevailed.

Senators Knezek, Warren, Hopgood, Hertel, Ananich, Bieda, Johnson, Gregory, Young and Hood offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 111.

A resolution to urge the United States Congress to ensure appropriate funding for the Victims of Crime Act, Violence Against Women Act, and similar programs.

Whereas, Protecting public health and safety is one of government’s most important functions. While crime prevention and prosecution are vital components of that role, assisting crime victims in the recovery process is also critical; and

Whereas, The Crime Victims Fund, established by the federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA), is the main source of federal assistance for millions of crime victims across the country. Victims of assault, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and other violent crimes rely on the fund to help them recover through direct compensation and support for organizations that provide counseling, crisis intervention, and temporary housing; and

Whereas, One of the central ways in which Crime Victims Fund dollars reach crime victims is through grants to local providers based on allocations to the states. In 2016, programs in Michigan received $67 million in grants to help crime victims; and

Whereas, The Crime Victims Fund has been a target during recent federal budget fights despite being funded entirely by criminal fines and penalties rather than tax dollars. In recent years, Congress has permanently transferred money out of the fund and allocated money from the fund to programs not specifically authorized by law, such as programs provided for in the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA); and

Whereas, The Trump Administration has recommended removing $1.3 billion from the Crime Victims Fund and reallocating an additional $600 billion to related programs that are supposed to be funded separately; and

Whereas, Establishing a precedent that the Crime Victims Fund can be raided to cover other priorities is a threat to the public health and safety of Michigan and the United States. The fund must be protected, and programs authorized under related acts, such as VAWA, need their own sustainable revenue source; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we urge the United States Congress to ensure appropriate funding for the Victims of Crime Act, Violence Against Women Act, and similar programs; 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.

Pursuant to rule 3.204, the resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

Senators Brandenburg, Colbeck and Conyers were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.

Senators Stamas, Hansen, Jones, Brandenburg, Schmidt and Marleau offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 112.

A resolution to express support for the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and oppose any reduction in its boundaries.

Whereas, The Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary is one of fourteen U.S. marine protected areas and the only one located in the Great Lakes. The 4,300-square-mile sanctuary holds nearly 100 known shipwrecks—covering more than 150 years of Great Lakes commerce—remarkably preserved in Lake Huron’s cold, fresh waters; and

Whereas, Jointly managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the state of Michigan, the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary plays an important role in preserving our nation’s marine heritage and providing opportunities for future discovery, research, and education. In addition to shipwrecks, the sanctuary encompasses other important cultural and natural features related to maritime heritage including lifesaving stations, lighthouses, historic boats and ships, commercial fishing camps, and working ports. Geological evidence suggests undiscovered prehistoric archaeological sites may also exist; and

Whereas, The United States Secretary of Commerce is currently conducting a review of all designations and expansions of national marine sanctuaries within the last 10 years. Under Executive Order 13795, Implementing an America-First Offshore Energy Strategy, the President of the United States directed the review of the budgetary impacts of the costs of managing the sanctuary, the adequacy of consultations with affected state and tribal governments prior to designation, and opportunity costs associated with potential energy and mineral exploration; and

Whereas, Nearly 3,900 square miles of the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary could be impacted by the federal review. Just 448 square miles when initially designated in 2000, the sanctuary was expanded in 2014 to cover 4,300 square miles. The expansion increased the number of protected shipwrecks and opened up new opportunities to study shipwreck sites and maritime history in America; and

Whereas, Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary attracts shipwreck divers and tourists and provides an economic boost to charter boat businesses, dive shops, bike rentals, outfitters, and travel and tourism companies. In past years, recreational activity associated with the sanctuary has provided $92 million in annual sales, $35.8 million in personal income to residents of coastal cities located near the sanctuary, and 1,704 jobs. In 2015, over 95,000 people visited the Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center which is associated with the sanctuary; and

Whereas, Energy and mineral exploration is not appropriate within the sanctuary. Michigan has banned offshore drilling of oil in the Great Lakes since 1982. Congress enacted a temporary ban on offshore drilling in the Great Lakes in 2001 and made the federal ban permanent in 2005. The oil and gas drilling ban is necessary to protect this unique natural resource that provides drinking water and recreational opportunities and supports food production, business, and transportation for all U.S. citizens; and

Whereas, Maintaining the current boundaries of the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary supports the rural coastal communities of northeast Michigan as well as protects the health and safety of millions of people who call the Great Lakes Basin home; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we support the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and oppose any reduction in its boundaries; 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 United States Secretary of Commerce.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,

Senator Kowall moved that the rule be suspended.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Senator Kowall moved that the resolution be referred to the Committee on Natural Resources.

The motion prevailed.

Senators Bieda, Booher and Conyers were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 28.

A concurrent resolution prescribing the legislative schedule.

(For text of resolution, see Senate Journal No. 94, p. 1725.)

The House of Representatives has adopted the concurrent resolution.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Secretary for record.

Statements

Senator Ananich asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Ananich’s statement is as follows:

On Thanksgiving, I was with my family, as all of us were, and my stepfather’s brother was at our Thanksgiving table and he talked to me about a tragedy that happened the day before that most of you probably have read about. He was the training officer for Sheriff’s Deputy Eric Brian Overall. As we speak currently right now, he’s being laid to rest at Mt. Zion Church in Independence Charter Township in my good friend and colleague Senator Kowall’s district.

I wanted to give a brief memorial about this man who my stepfather’s brother told me was just an amazing person, who did so much for kids, was a great deputy, and a really great person. There’s nothing we can say that can bring peace to his family, but if we can honor the service he gave to our state and to Oakland County a little bit here, I think we owe it to him and his family.

I’m going to briefly read his obituary because, obviously, his family put some time and effort into writing it.

Eric Brian Overall, age 50, of Burton, passed away in the line of duty on November 23, 2017. He served with the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office for 22 years. His greatest passions were his family, friends, music, fishing, and beloved cat, “Siggi.” Beloved husband of Sonja; loving father of Ken and the late Cameron; grandson of Lois Overall and the late Kenneth; son of Chris (Heidi) Overall and Denise (Rick) Houston; brother of Randy (Karla) Overall, Darryl (Sandy) Overall, Kevin (Debbie) Overall, Brett (Jody) Overall, Beth (Jeff) Fahr, Susan Overall and Matthew Overall and loving cousin of many.

The rest is the service and announcement.

I wanted to, if we could after I’m finished, take a moment of silence. I think one of the things my colleague and good friend, Senator Hood, often talks about is when we leave here, we should remember that we have an important job to do, but we should all remember that, at the end of the day, no matter what we do—if we vote “yes” or “no” or many other things we do—that we should say a kind word to someone as we walk out the door because life is precious and, unfortunately, for Deputy Overall and his family, it was too short for him. When we leave here every day and when we leave to go home, we should hug our family at night, and wake up in the morning and try to do the best we can, because, unfortunately, terrible tragedies like this happen all too often in our community and our state sometimes.

A moment of silence was observed in memory of Eric Brian Overall, Oakland County Sheriff’s Deputy.
