“All mighty God, we pray that Your compassionate wisdom and justice-making be our guide for daily living. In these hours of difficult decisions, sustain our local, state, and national politicians called to serve in this unforeseen moment in history. We ask that You cast aside all pride and arrogance among us and our leaders, anchor us in Your imperative to care for the vulnerable, and shore-up party-politics so that peaceable life and dignity for all peoples may be the route in and through these rough days. This we pray in Your name.
Amen.”

House Resolution No. 305.
A resolution to declare May 30, 2022, as Multiple Sclerosis Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Multiple sclerosis is one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system; and
Whereas, Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory demyelinating condition caused by damage to myelin – a fatty material that insulates nerves; and
Whereas, The loss of myelin affects the way nerves conduct electrical impulses to and from the brain; and
Whereas, Symptoms can include blurred vision, weak limbs, tingling sensations, unsteadiness, memory problems, and fatigue; and
Whereas, Today, 2.8 million people around the world have multiple sclerosis; and
Whereas, Most people with multiple sclerosis are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40; and
Whereas, Multiple sclerosis is two to three times more common in women than in men; and
Whereas, There is no drug that can cure multiple sclerosis, but treatments are available which can modify the course of the disease; and
Whereas, Raising awareness for multiple sclerosis is an opportunity to advocate for better services, celebrate support networks, and champion self-care; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 30, 2022, as Multiple Sclerosis Day in the state of Michigan. We urge increased public awareness of this inflammatory demyelinating condition that affects the central nervous system.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.

Rep. Young, having reserved the right to explain her nay vote, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
SCR 27 was brought to the floor without notice and put up for a vote. This is an eight year appointment of someone I have not seen any type of performance review, nor was I given an opportunity to do any research. Additionally there is time for this research to be done as the expiration date will happen after we return to Session on 6/7/22. This is not an indictment of his performance, but the process and not allowing us an opportunity to make an informed vote.”
Rep. Brixie, having reserved the right to explain her nay vote, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I am unable to vote for the reappointment of the auditor general due to the apparent partisanship I have encountered with some of the audits they have engaged in. There have been no audits on the spending of the previous Speaker's office, despite allegations of wrongdoing. It was irregular for them to conduct election audit outside of their statutory authority.”

House Resolution No. 306.
A resolution to urge the United States Congress to fund scientific research on gun violence and its effects on public health, and to require the Surgeon General of the United States to issue annual reports to the public on the current state of gun violence in the country.
Whereas, Gun violence, which includes any violence committed with the use of firearms, continues to threaten the public health of our citizens. An average of 100 people per day die from gun violence in the United States. In addition, the United States accounts for 35 percent of firearm suicides globally, and Americans are 25 times more likely to be killed by gun violence than people in other high-income countries; and
Whereas, In order to develop solutions to
address gun violence, we need a better understanding of the causes, processes,
and impact of all types of gun violence, including violent conflicts, suicides,
and mass shootings. Research allows the public health community to define the
problems associated with gun violence, identify risks and protective factors,
and develop preventive interventions; and
Whereas, Providing funding to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, and the National Institute of Justice will allow for a broad database of scientific knowledge to be created for the development of meaningful interventions as our understanding of gun violence expands; and
Whereas, Further, gun violence research should be made available to the general public. Not only does this transparency foster trust, but informed individuals have the power to change their behaviors and work alongside systematic reform; and
Whereas, For over two decades, Congress has blocked any appropriations for gun violence research citing legislation enacted in 1996 to prohibit public funds from being used to advocate or promote gun control. Although not specifically prohibited, the language has been interpreted as a ban on funding. Scientific research must and can stand outside of politics for the betterment of public health; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the United States Congress to fund scientific research on gun violence and its effect on public health; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge the Surgeon General of the United States to issue annual reports to the public regarding the state of gun violence in the country; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, 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 Surgeon General of the United States.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
Reps. Glanville, Pohutsky, Young, Aiyash, Cavanagh, Sowerby, Sneller, Puri, Anthony, Hope, Stone, Kuppa, Hertel, Sabo, Hood, Rogers, Cambensy, Brixie, Liberati, Garza, Haadsma, Steckloff, Cynthia Johnson, Lasinski, Manoogian, LaGrand, Morse, Weiss, Clemente, Tate, Breen, Coleman, Pepper, Thanedar, Brenda Carter, Brabec, Jones, Camilleri, Neeley, Scott, Yancey and Tyrone Carter offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 307.
A resolution to support access to contraception for all individuals.
Whereas, The possible overturning of Roe v Wade poses a number of threats to reproductive rights. Now more than ever, it is crucial to protect the right to access contraception to prevent unwanted pregnancies; and
Whereas, Most individuals consider contraception to be essential health care, as an estimated 92% of Americans view the use of contraception as acceptable and 99% of sexually active women have used at least one contraceptive method; and
Whereas, Access to contraception is protected under the United States Constitution. In 1965, the Supreme Court of the United States found in Griswold v Connecticut that married couples had a right to privacy, which included the right to control their fertility through the use of contraception; and
Whereas, In another case, Eisenstadt v Baird, the Court extended the right to contraception to unmarried persons under the equal-protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment; and
Whereas, The benefits of contraception are many. Promoting safe access to contraception ensures better economic mobility, positive health outcomes, and the right of all individuals to make their own reproductive choices; and
Whereas, Control over the time of childbearing gives women more educational and professional opportunities, leading to greater earning potential throughout their lives. College enrollment is 20% higher for women with access to contraception; and
Whereas, Contraception is used for a variety of purposes beyond those related to childbearing. Individuals may use contraception to regulate their menstruation cycles, ease symptoms of painful conditions such as endometriosis, bring relief to women experiencing menopause, and serve a number of health care needs; and
Whereas, Access to contraceptives significantly reduces the probability that a woman will be in poverty; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we support access to contraception for all individuals; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Clerk of the Supreme Court of the United States, members of the Michigan congressional delegation, the clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, and the Attorney General of the State of Michigan.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Health Policy.
Reps. Hood, Aiyash, Hope, Glanville, Rogers, Stone, LaGrand, Tate, Steckloff, Sowerby, Brixie, Kuppa, Neeley, Weiss, Cavanagh, Morse, Rabhi, Cynthia Johnson, Brabec, Tyrone Carter and Thanedar offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 308.
A resolution to affirm our support of
Governor Whitmer’s MI Healthy Climate Plan.
Whereas, Climate change is threatening the environmental, economic, and social well-being of the people of our nation and the world. Current scientific projections suggest that without intervention to aggressively reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the negative impacts of climate change will become more challenging, dangerous, and expensive for Michigan residents; and
Whereas, In September 2020, Governor Whitmer signed Executive Directive 2020-10, which committed Michigan to achieving economy-wide carbon neutrality by 2050 and charged the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s (EGLE) Council on Climate Solutions with developing the MI Healthy Climate Plan; and
Whereas, In April 2022, EGLE released the MI Healthy Climate Plan, which lays out a broad vision for fulfilling Governor Whitmer’s commitment for Michigan to reduce GHG emissions and achieve economy-wide carbon neutrality by 2050. The plan proposes climate action that would create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs, spur economic development and innovation, lower energy and transportation costs for Michigan’s residents, mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, improve public health, and protect natural resources and wildlife; and
Whereas, The MI Healthy Climate Plan positions the state of Michigan as a leader in tackling the climate crisis. We commend the Governor for her leadership in completing this important step toward addressing the threats of climate change. With the effects of climate change becoming more visible and more threatening, actions to combat the crisis are becoming increasingly important; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we affirm our support of Governor Whitmer’s MI Healthy Climate Plan; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor of the State of Michigan, the Director of the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, and the members of the Council on Climate Solutions.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Commerce and Tourism.
