The

Gracious and Holy God, known by
many names—Justice, Righteousness, Goodness, and Grace—we ask Your presence
among us. Bless those gathered here today—those who have been called to lead
and protect this beautiful state in which we live and work and play.
Help them,
as leaders, not to ask “How do we fix this?” but “What do we need to learn from
this?”, “How might we need to change?”, and “To whom do we need to listen?”
Remind each of them that they are not only leaders but servants. There is no
greater calling than to serve others as they seek the common good of all.
Remind them
that, no matter what our beliefs are, everyone—youth, middler,
elderly, gay, straight, transgender, black, white, Hispanic or Asian, Muslim,
Jew, Hindu, or Sikh, Christian, atheist, agnostic or non-affiliated—everyone is
our neighbor. It is said that peoples are judged by their care for the
children, the elderly, the poor, those who are hungry, those who have no homes,
those who are ill in body, mind, or spirit, the strangers and immigrants in our
midst, those who live on the margins, and those who are alone and forgotten.
Grant each gathered here the
wisdom and courage to know and do what is right and good and true. May they
speak when it is time to speak, and listen patiently and receptively when it is
time to listen. May they always be guided by the spirit of community, kindness,
justice, and love.
This we pray, united as one
humanity. Amen.
The
President pro tempore, Senator Nesbitt, led the members of the Senate in
recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.
The President, Lieutenant Governor
Gilchrist, assumed the Chair.

Senate Resolution No. 97.
A
resolution to recognize February 2020 as School-Based Health Care Awareness
Month.
Whereas, Michigan’s school-based
and school-linked health centers (also known as child and adolescent health
centers) have been delivering comprehensive primary healthcare, mental
healthcare, and prevention services for over 30 years; and
Whereas, There are over 125
school-based and school-linked health centers and programs in the state of
Michigan that provide a range of primary, preventive, early intervention, and
mental health services to children and youth of all grade levels in urban,
rural, and suburban schools across the state; and
Whereas, Children and youth
served by school-based and school-linked health centers show improved rates of
school attendance, enhanced scores on standardized tests, less absenteeism due
to illness, and increased immunization rates, while also having their wellness
and healthcare needs addressed; and
Whereas, School-Based Health Care
Awareness Month is a time to acknowledge the commitment and passion that
school-based and school-linked health center staff and parent/guardians show
for all Michigan children and youth; and
Whereas, We also recognize the
critical role these individuals play in improving the health and well-being of
all Michigan children; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the
members of this legislative body recognize February 2020 as School-Based Health
Care Awareness Month.
Senator
MacGregor moved that the rule be suspended.
The
motion prevailed, the majority of members serving voting therefor.
The
question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Senator
MacGregor moved that further consideration of the resolution be postponed until
Wednesday, February 12.
The motion prevailed.
Senate Resolution No. 98.
A
resolution to call for human trafficking hotline postings to be displayed at
financial institutions.
Whereas, Human trafficking is a
terrible crime in which victims are exploited for financial or other gain.
These crimes occur throughout the country and across the entire world. Through
fraud, force, or coercion, human trafficking victims may be compelled to commit
sexual acts or perform labor or service against their will. Put simply, it is a
form of slavery; and
Whereas, While there are strong and
increasing efforts to combat human trafficking, more can be done to make known
and stop this persistent injustice. In particular, all avenues to bring
attention to human trafficking crimes and alert victims of their circumstance
and options for help must be pursued to end this awful practice; and
Whereas, Financial institutions,
including banks and credit unions, are important venues to display a human
trafficking notice. For some victims, one of the few opportunities to be in a
public place is when they are in a bank or credit union building. Financial
institutions that have information on human trafficking and the contact number
for the National Human Trafficking Resource Center Hotline posted and readily
visible may be the difference for some victims in being freed from a dire
situation; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we
call upon the federal government to take a stand against human trafficking by
requiring financial institutions to display human trafficking hotline postings
at their buildings; and be it further
Resolved, That we call upon
financial institutions to take a stand against human trafficking by voluntarily
displaying human trafficking hotline postings at their buildings; and be it
further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution
be transmitted to the President of the United States, the Chair of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the President of the United States
Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the members
of the Michigan congressional delegation, the American Bankers Association, and
the Credit Union National Association.
Senator
MacGregor 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
MacGregor moved that the resolution be referred to the Committee on Judiciary
and Public Safety.
The motion prevailed
By unanimous consent the Senate
proceeded to the order of
Introduction and Referral of Bills
