Thank You for the ability to be involved in useful work and for the honor of responsibility. I pray that You would grant us wisdom to govern amid the conflicting interests and issues of our times. Please give us a sense of the needs of our people, a thirst for justice and rightness, and the ability to work together, even in disagreement. I pray that we would seek You more as we serve in this place. Your word says ‘Look to the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.’
I pray that we WOULD look to You for strength and wisdom. We also pray, Lord, for Your guidance as we go about our business today.
In Your name I pray,
Amen.”

A resolution to grant the House Standing Committee on Elections and Ethics the full scope of power as authorized by MCL 4.101 and MCL 4.541 to administer oaths, issue subpoenas, and examine books and records related to the 2020 primary and general elections.
Whereas, Full access to accurate information is essential for sound decision making by any public or private body; and
Whereas, According to the Standing Rules of the House of Representatives and Michigan law, standing committees of the House of Representatives, including the House Standing Committee on Elections and Ethics, may be granted the power to administer oaths, issue subpoenas, and examine books and records; and
Whereas, Section 1 of 1952 PA 46, MCL 4.541, provides, in part, that:
...any standing or select committee of the senate or the house of representatives, and any joint select committee of the senate and house of representatives, shall be authorized to subpoena and have produced before any such committee, or inspect the records and files of any state department, board, institution or agency; and it shall be the duty of any state department, board, institution or agency to produce before the committee as required by the subpoena, or permit the members of any such committee to inspect its records and files.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
Reps. VanWoerkom, Breen, Green, Kahle and Marino offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 275.
A resolution to declare April 24-30, 2022, as Crime Victims’ Rights Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, With the implementation of the Crime Victim’s Rights Act in 1985 and the passage of a constitutional amendment in 1988, the state of Michigan has adopted some of the nation’s most comprehensive laws to protect the rights of crime victims; and
Whereas, Crime victims possess the right to be treated with fairness and respect for their dignity and privacy throughout the criminal justice process; and
Whereas, Though Michigan continues to make strides in reducing the crime rate, there are still far too many victims of crime. Research going back 40 years indicates that less than half of violent crimes and less than 40 percent of property crimes are reported. The most recent National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey results have estimated that today in Michigan, there are over 1,700,000 survivors of sexual violence; and
Whereas, In the six years from 2011-2016, over 2.6 million people reported being the victim of a crime in Michigan. If it is accurate that less than half of crimes are reported, then Michigan residents have actually been the victims of far more than 5 million crimes in those 6 years; and
Whereas, The national theme for 2022 is “Rights, access, equity, for all victims.” Victims need to be believed and services must be available to assist them in their journey from being a victim to becoming a survivor. Let us focus on the importance of early intervention and victim services in establishing trust with victims, which, in turn, begins to restore their hope for healing and recovery; and
Whereas, In response to the courageous stands and victim impact statements of victims of sexual assault, the Michigan Legislature is working diligently to create a policy and real life environment for victims that is safe, supportive, and effective; and
Whereas, Intervening early with services that support and empower victims provides a pathway to recovery from crime and abuse; and
Whereas, National Crime Victims’ Rights Week is an opportune time to commit to ensuring that all victims of crime are offered accessible and appropriate services in the aftermath of crime; now therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 24-30, 2022, as Crime Victims’ Rights Week in the state of Michigan. We affirm this state’s commitment to protecting the rights of crime victims and addressing their needs.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
