Rep. Donni Steele, from the 54th District, offered the following invocation:

 

“Dear God,

I stand humbly before You today asking that You guide my colleagues and I as we do the peoples work through this great opportunity we share.

We ask that You shine Your wisdom onto all Your people.

God, I pray to You as a mother asking You to help all mothers as they work to protect their children from this world filled with evil.

Psalm 46:1 says, ‘God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.’

And truthfully God, we’ve been in a lot of trouble recently. We’ve watched as families not so different from our own have been attacked inside their own homes.

Today, God, we pray for the families waiting by the phone to hear news of their loved ones.

We pray that Your children who did not make it home were graciously received in Your care.

God, we pray for the families who have experienced loss at the hands of evil. We ask that You restore the stolen feeling of safety in the homes of families dreading further attacks.

We pray for Israel, Ukraine, our southern border, and all Your people affected by violence across the world.

God, may You guide us to be the best versions of ourselves so that we too can share Your love throughout the world.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Stone, Paiz, Hood, Brabec, Hope, Morse and Rheingans offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 154.

A resolution to declare October 23-31, 2023, as Red Ribbon Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Alcohol and drug abuse affect individuals, families, and communities across the nation; and

Whereas, It is imperative that visible, unified efforts by community members be launched to prevent drug abuse; and

Whereas, Red Ribbon Week offers citizens the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to drug-free lifestyles; and

Whereas, Red Ribbon Week will be celebrated in communities across the nation on October 23-31; and

Whereas, Businesses, government, law enforcement, media, healthcare providers, religious institutions, schools, and other community-based organizations will demonstrate their commitment to healthy, drug-free lifestyles by wearing red ribbons and participating in drug prevention activities; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan further commits its resources to ensure the success of Red Ribbon Week; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 23-31, 2023, as Red Ribbon Week in the state of Michigan. We encourage participation in drug prevention education activities, not only during Red Ribbon Week, but also throughout the year, to make a visible statement of strong commitment to a drug-free lifestyle.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

By unanimous consent the House considered House Resolution No. 156 out of numerical order.

 

Reps. Steckloff, Morse, Neeley, McFall, Brabec, Aiyash, Whitsett, Hood, Dievendorf, Hill, Price, Byrnes, Hope, Brixie, Haadsma, Breen, Rogers, Coleman, Paiz, Rheingans and Witwer offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 156.

A resolution to declare October 2023 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, October has been long recognized across America as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in effort to raise public awareness about the importance of early detection; and

Whereas, In 2023, it is estimated 8,980 Michiganders have been newly diagnosed with breast cancer, with 300,590 newly diagnosed across the nation. Tragically, about 1,370 Michiganders and 43,700 Americans succumbed to their breast cancer battle this year; and

Whereas, In the United States, 1 in 196 women under 40 years of age is diagnosed with breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cancer type amongst adolescent and young females, accounting for 30% of diagnosed cancer cases in American women. Diagnosed cases of invasive breast cancer in women 15‑39 years old have increased since 2004. Along with these increasing rates, women under forty are 39% more likely to die of breast cancer than older women even if diagnosed in early stages; and

Whereas, The use of mammography in the U.S. has been credited with doubling the detection of early stage breast cancer and breast cancer death rates have steadily declined since the 1990s; and

Whereas, Efforts to promote increased mammogram screening have resulted in the third Friday in October being declared National Mammography Day; and

Whereas, Even with impressive progress, many women do not utilize mammograms or other recommended testing methods at regular intervals before physical symptoms can be seen or felt. Breast cancer deaths may continue to decline if women are able to receive recommended screenings at regular intervals; and

Whereas, Breast cancer does not discriminate. Women from all walks of life and of all ages and backgrounds are at risk of developing breast cancer. Breast Cancer Awareness month sheds light on preventative treatments and measures women can utilize to fight off breast cancer before it occurs or detect breast cancer in its early stages. Access to preventive care and quality treatment saves the lives of breast cancer patients; now, therefore, it be

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 2023 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We urge all Michiganders to use this month as an opportunity to educate themselves about breast cancers and take proactive steps to reduce their risks and get appropriate screenings.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

 

Rep. Aiyash moved that consideration of the resolution be postponed temporarily.

The motion prevailed.

 

 

Rep. Schriver offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 155.

A resolution to honor peacemakers who are working to de-escalate the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

Whereas, Jesus Christ declared “blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” in the Book of Matthew, Chapter 5, Verse 9; and

Whereas, Innocent lives are being lost in both Israel and Palestine; and

Whereas, Involvement in any escalation of these actions can result in further loss of American lives; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor peacemakers who are working to de-escalate the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. We recognize those who are working to de-escalate the war in Gaza in order to put a swift end to the loss of innocent life and mourn all who have been lost thus far.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

Re: Notice of Changes in Scheduling of Controlled Substances

On February 16, 2023, the Board of Pharmacy voted to promulgate a rule to make the following changes in the scheduling of controlled substances:

·     Gabapentin will be removed from Schedule 5 and descheduled.

·     Pentazocine will be rescheduled from a Schedule 5 drug to a Schedule 4 drug.

MCL 333.7231 of the Public Health Code requires the board to provide you with a notice of any change in scheduling or rescheduling of a controlled substance. The board expects that the attached rules will be submitted to the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) in the coming weeks for the final stage of promulgation. The rules must remain with JCAR for 15 joint session days.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Jennifer Shaltry, JD, Departmental Specialist with the Boards and Committees Section of the Bureau of Professional Licensing, at either (517) 241-3085 or shaltryj1@michigan.gov.
