Rep. Rachel Hood, from the 76th District, offered the following invocation:

 

“I offer these Bible verses as a gift from my faith, Christianity

2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) – ‘For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.’

1 Corinthians 2:9 (NLT) – ‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.’

And I offer a prayer for innovators and creators like us, adapted from Buku, a Nigerian Born designer rooted in faith-inspired creativity. I’ve adapted Buku’s prayer for the Michigan House of Representatives.

God please help our communities and their leaders create what’s next for the state of Michigan. Lord, please give us ideas that eyes have not seen, that ears have not heard, and no mind has imagined. The root of creativity lives in You and You alone have vision broad enough to navigate the gaps ahead of us so we can lead our neighbors into our future, our new century. You inspired our great grandparents and grandparents, to build a new world that granted freedom to so many, through inspired technologies and social innovations. Like them, we are bound to remake our lifeways to emerge from a pandemic and drive economic growth for generations to come, 100 years after our last breaths. Only You, God, can guide our hearts and minds, that we might also deliver a world in which our great-grand children and theirs can leave an inheritance as magnificent as ours to their children. Lord, we are here on this earth and elected as body to serve as a vessel for Your divine glory and greatness. Do the impossible through us. Give us divine inspiration and instruction to carry out Your plans. Create in us ideas that are so ingenious that when accomplished, the credit can only be given to You. We pray to be closer to You in our words, deeds and legacy. In humble service to You, the people of Michigan, and beyond, Amen.”

 

 

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Kahle, Aiyash, Bollin, Breen, Brixie, Cherry, Ellison, Garza, Haadsma, Hood, Hope, Jones, Lasinski, Rogers, Shannon, Sneller, Weiss, Witwer and Young offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 92.

A resolution to declare May 2021 as Huntington’s Disease Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Huntington’s disease is a fatal genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain, leading to the deterioration of an individual’s physical and mental abilities; and

Whereas, Symptoms of Huntington’s disease include personality changes, mood swings, depression, forgetfulness, impaired judgment, unsteady gait, involuntary movements, slurred speech, swallowing difficulties and significant weight loss; and

Whereas, Symptoms usually first appear in individuals between 30 and 50 years of age and worsen over a 10-year to 25-year period; and

Whereas, The Huntington’s Disease Society of America estimates that there are approximately 41,000 symptomatic Americans and more than 200,000 are at risk of inheriting the faulty gene that causes the disease; and

Whereas, Huntington’s disease is known as the quintessential family disease because every child of a parent with Huntington’s disease has a 50% chance of carrying the faulty gene and developing the disease; and

Whereas, Huntington’s disease slowly diminishes the affected individual’s ability to walk, think, talk and reason, eventually rendering the individual totally dependent upon others for his or her care; and

Whereas, While medications can alleviate some of the symptoms, no treatment is available to alter the course of Huntington’s disease; and

Whereas, Huntington’s disease profoundly affects the lives of entire families emotionally, socially, and economically; and

Whereas, Lack of knowledge about Huntington’s disease may keep friends and neighbors from offering social and emotional support to the family, fostering unnecessary isolation; and

Whereas, Researchers identified the gene that causes Huntington’s disease in 1993 and have continued to develop treatments in the hope of ultimately finding a cure; and

Whereas, The Huntington’s Disease Society of America is dedicated to improving the lives of all individuals affected by Huntington’s disease and has created a network of support through education, advocacy and outreach; and

Whereas, There is still a need for greater public awareness of Huntington’s disease and more activity at the national, state and local levels to support affected individuals as well as their families and caregivers; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2021 as Huntington’s Disease Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

Reps. Bollin, Aiyash, Breen, Brixie, Cherry, Ellison, Garza, Haadsma, Hood, Hope, Jones, Rogers, Shannon, Sneller, Steenland, Weiss, Witwer and Young offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 93.

A resolution to declare May 2-8, 2021, as Professional Municipal Clerks Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, There are professional municipal clerks serving towns, townships, villages, boroughs, and counties throughout Michigan, the United States, Canada, and 13 other countries; and

Whereas, In 1984, President Ronald Reagan signed a proclamation officially declaring Municipal Clerks Week the first full week of May, recognizing the essential role municipal clerks play in local government; and

Whereas, The office of the municipal clerk, is a time honored and vital part of local government which exists throughout the world; and

Whereas, The office of the municipal clerk is the longest serving profession among public servants; and

Whereas, It provides the professional link between the citizens, local governing bodies, and agencies of government at other levels; and

Whereas, Municipal clerks have pledged to be ever mindful of their neutrality and impartiality, rendering service to all; and

Whereas, The municipal clerk serves as the information center on functions of local government and the community; and

Whereas, Municipal clerks continually strive to improve the administration of the affairs of the office of the municipal clerk through participation in education programs, seminars, workshops, and the annual meetings of their state, province, county, and international professional organizations; and

Whereas, The municipal clerk maintains and oversees the integrity of local, state and national elections within the community ensuring that all residents have the opportunity to vote and that their vote will count; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2-8, 2021, as Professional Municipal Clerks Week in the state of Michigan. We proclaim this week in recognition of the accomplishments and contributions of the office of the municipal clerk in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That we extend our deepest appreciation to our municipal clerks for the vital services they perform and the exemplary dedication to the communities they serve.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.
