Rep. Mark E. Huizenga, from the 74th District, offered the following invocation:
“Heavenly Father, we come to You with grateful hearts knowing that You are our creator, the giver of life, and the provider of all things. Lord, as we open this session day in the Michigan House of Representatives, we are grateful to You for all that You have done for us.
Lord, just as grains have been gathered from many fields to make bread, so too are we gathered from many places across this great state – from cities, towns , and villages – from 83 counties. We convene in this capitol building to do the business of the people, and we are here to represent people of all races and religions, both those rich and those poor.
We pray that You would continue to bless this 101st legislature as we serve You and serve the residents of the state of Michigan. We pray by the words from First Kings, asking that You - ‘Give Your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern Your people, that we may discern between good and evil.’ We ask for this wisdom and discernment for the challenging decisions that we make today as a legislature. Lord, please keep us humble – our position in this house has each of us representing thousands of individuals across this great state. Our decisions have consequences, guide us that our decisions would be to the betterment of our state.
It is our prayer that You would give each and every one of us humility for the gifts and blessing for which we have received without merit - for our health, for our comforts in life, and the blessings You have bestowed upon us. Lord, we know that not everyone is equally blessed and healthy. We ask for a special blessing upon those, for those who are less fortunate, for those whom illness has afflicted, and for those who suffer from sadness and depression – be with them and give them hope and peace regardless of the challenge they face.
It is in Your most blessed name that I pray, Amen.”

A resolution to declare May 5, 2021, as Teacher Appreciation Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, A strong, effective system of free public school education for all children and youth is essential to our democratic system of government; and
Whereas, From the early days of our democracy, the United States of America and the state of Michigan have made considerable progress in the social, technological, and scientific fields due to our system of free and universal public education; and
Whereas, Much of this progress can be attributed to the qualified and dedicated teachers entrusted with the educational development of our children; and
Whereas, Teachers should be accorded high esteem, reflecting the value our community places on public education; and
Whereas May 3-7, 2021 is nationally recognized as Teacher Appreciation Week; and
Whereas, It is appropriate that teachers be recognized for their dedication and commitment to educating their students; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 5, 2021, as Teacher Appreciation Day in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The motion prevailed.
______
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted ‘no’ on House Bill 4064 because, under this legislation, the Office of the State Employee Ombudsman would fall under the authority of the legislative council, a partisan body appointed by the Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader. This system will inevitably politicize a process that should be objective.”
Rep. Garza, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted ‘no’ on House Bill 4064 because, under this legislation, the Office of the State Employee Ombudsman would fall under the authority of the legislative council, a partisan body appointed by the Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader. This system will inevitably politicize a process that should be objective. Without changes to the composition of the legislative council to be more evenly representative of Michiganders, I cannot agree to approve this legislation. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the future to ensure proper oversight is implemented over the Executive Branch.”
Rep. Hope, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
This bill creates serious separation of powers concerns by placing the proposed ombudsman under the Legislative Council rather than placing it under the authority of the executive branch, where it would not offend separation of powers. I am generally in favor of measures to improve government transparency, but not at the expense of constitutional considerations.”
Rep. Cynthia Johnson, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Although, I signed co-sponsorship, I feel duped, because I had no idea what the real purpose of this Bill. My colleagues have not demonstrated compromise on most Bills that will help all citizens. Sadly, this is a Republican flexing muscle Bill.”
Rep. Sowerby, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on House Bill 4064 because, under this legislation, the Office of the State Employee Ombudsman would fall under the authority of the Legislative Council, a partisan body whose members are appointed by the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader. This partisan process will inevitably politicize a system that should only be objective.”
House Bill No. 4540, entitled

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I am in full support of returning our students to normalcy by allowing our seniors to graduate. However, this bill does not take into account that underserved communities do not have the resources to ensure the graduations are conducted in a safe manner. The grandparents are the primary caregivers. Most have comorbidities. I am concerned that indoor or outdoor graduations will become a super-spreader in these communities. For this reason, and only this reason, I am voting no.”
Reps. Brabec, Ellison, Garza, Hood, Manoogian, Kuppa, Jones and Clemente, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted ‘no’ on House Bill 4728 because this legislation has the
potential to unnecessarily put our students, teachers, and parents at risk.
Throughout this pandemic, we have learned that when large gatherings occur,
they often contribute to infection surges in our communities. Arbitrarily exempting
certain gatherings from emergency orders implemented by health officials doesn’t
make sense.
This bill is also another example of the legislature changing the rules for our schools late in the game. Over the past year, our students and teachers have been resilient and flexible, carefully crafting plans to adapt to unprecedented circumstances. Graduation ceremonies are no exception. Schools have already meticulously planned safe ways to celebrate students’ graduation, yet this bill would move the goalposts.”
Rep. Hope, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
This bill is an unacceptable and arbitrary limit on public health measures. Unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures. And while it is sad for a child and her family to miss out on the milestone of high school graduation, it is even sadder to bury a loved one or classmate. This bill also represents another instance of the Legislature attempting to change the rules in the midst of the game and to dictate to local school districts what is in the best interests of their students and families. This Legislature has never taken the pandemic seriously. If nothing else, at least the Legislature is consistent. It is unconscionable to play political games with the health and safety of young people and their families. For all these reasons, I voted no.”
Rep. Scott, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted ‘no’ on House Bill 4728 because this legislation has the potential to unnecessarily put our students, teachers and parents at risk. Throughout this pandemic, we have learned that when large gatherings occur, they often contribute to infection surges in our communities. I am not willing to be a part of a decision that may cause Michiganders to have unnecessary loss of life.”
