Rev. Curnell Graham, Pastor of Washington Heights United Methodist Church and Community Ministries in Battle Creek, offered the following invocation:
"Gracious eternal God, we give You thanksgiving and praise for this day that You have made. We thank You Lord because as we slept through the night, You sent Your Angels to protect us and keep us safe from all hurt, harm, and danger. We thank You, O God, for waking us up this morning, giving us health and strength. We praise You, O God, as we begin this day to honor You and glorify You in all that we say and do. Lord, we pray now for Your presence, wisdom, and grace to be upon this legislative body as they tackle a heavy agenda, come close to the end of this session and of this year, prepare to go forth into a new millennium, and as we enter this time of celebration--the holiday season when families will gather from far and near to remember Your goodness. We pray, O God, that Your grace will be upon us. We ask now, Lord, that Your grace and guidance will guide this chamber today. We pray, O God, that the things that will take place in this room will help to make a difference in the lives of many in our state, in our country, and throughout the world. We thank You, and we pray that Your guidance and grace be upon us. This we ask in the name of our Creator, God Almighty. Amen."

The House agreed to the title as amended.
The bill was referred to the Clerk for enrollment printing and presentation to the Governor.
Rep. Bob Brown, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on House Bills 4475 and 4476 because the Senate stripped out a necessary amendment that I offered to each of these bills, both of which amendments were originally adopted by the House. Without my amendments, these bills will take away the rights of a certain class of innocent persons under the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act and the Persons with Disabilities Civil Rights Act--those persons who are falsely convicted of a crime but who are later found to be innocent and who have their sentences overturned in court. My amendment would have restored the rights of these innocent people. Without my amendments, these bills do an injustice to these innocent people."

House Resolution No. 241.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to increase efforts to fight human rights violations around the world.
Whereas, Citizens of this country and many people around the world have expressed their outrage over violations of fundamental human rights in numerous countries and regions. The level of oppression of civilians in certain places is beyond what most Americans can imagine. Our country has repeatedly expressed frustration with the horrendous practices that seem to be continuous in many locales; and
Whereas, Among the most disturbing examples of human rights violations are China's suppression of Tibet and Buddhism, the mutilation of women in certain parts of Africa, genocide in the troubled Balkan Peninsula, and a host of offenses in the workplace; and
Whereas, Human rights violators include any country that engages in cultural or racial genocide, any country that injures its own citizens without due process of law, any country that restricts freedom of religion for its people, and any country that forces assimilation of certain groups of people. Unfair labor practices that are considered human rights violations by the community of nations include the use of child or slave labor, the failure to pay full and appropriate wages due workers, the deliberate exposure of workers to unsafe conditions without the disclosure of known risks, and the use of force and militias against union activities or organizations; and
Whereas, With the level of known abuses in many areas of the world, strong steps need to be taken to encourage nations to extend basic human rights to their citizens; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to increase efforts to fight human rights violations around the world. We urge Congress to include in its strategy to combat human rights violations such measures as withholding or withdrawing Most Favored Nation status, opposing actions by the World Bank that ignore human rights violations, opposing trade pacts through the World Trade Organization, placing tariffs on goods made with child labor or slave labor, and imposing embargoes when necessary; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States House, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on House Oversight and Operations.

House Resolution No. 242.
A resolution to honor the memory of Joan Marie Petitpren, who passed away Friday, October 15, 1999.
Whereas, Joan Petitpren was born on September 17, 1932, to Gordon and Mollie (Brennan) Phillips in Detroit, Michigan. She showed kindness and generosity to all who came in contact with her from the very beginning. This was evident when her family moved from their home in Detroit to Mt. Clemens when she was just thirteen years old. She immediately made friends and excelled in school. Joan graduated Valedictorian from St. Mary's High School in Mt. Clemens. She attended Eastern Michigan University for two years before marrying her first love, Vincent Petitpren, a naval officer, on October 6, 1951; and
Whereas, Together with Vince, Joan moved to Great Lakes Naval Base in Illinois. The arrival of their first son, Vincent Donald, marked a new challenge in Joan's life. She graciously accepted all the demands motherhood had to offer. Shortly after the birth of their son, Joan and her new family were transferred to Pearl Harbor Naval Base. After her return to the mainland in 1955, Joan and Vincent welcomed the arrival of their second child, Victoria, and moved to Westland (Nankin Township), Michigan; and
Whereas, Joan completed her undergraduate degree at Eastern Michigan University in 1958 with a teaching degree. She immediately began work as an elementary teacher for the Wayne School District. While teaching, she celebrated the arrival of a second son, Peter, and completed her Master's degree from the University of Michigan. In 1965, Joan became an assistant professor at Eastern Michigan University in the Department of Education. Shortly after accepting this prestigious position, she gave birth to a set of twin girls, Patricia and Paula. She then went on to write and institute "The Professional Development Program," a program still being implemented today at top ten colleges and universities throughout the nation; and
Whereas, Being married to a former legislator, Dr. Vincent Petitpren, Joan knew the importance of public service. She took full advantage of every opportunity to assist her husband with his numerous public duties. Joan showed her support by organizing fundraising events, attending meetings, and assisting with constituent relations; and
Whereas, Civic affairs were among Joan's many passions. She was actively involved in the Civil Service Commission. Joan devoted much of her time to the Hospital Task Force for Wayne County and was a member of the Michigan Democratic Party Commission for Revision of the Constitution. She also participated in other organizations with great enthusiasm. These include Life Directions, Inc., Detroit, Most Holy Trinity of Detroit, Arcade Club of Wayne, United Negro College Fund, Black United Fund, Coleman A. Young Foundation, United Way Coordinator, St. Peter and Paul Jesuit Church, McNamara Scholarship Fund, Wayne County Senior Citizen Picnic, Goodfellows, and the NAACP; and
Whereas, Joan's efforts were not fruitless. She was recognized on numerous occasions for her tireless endeavors. Among her awards and achievements are the Humanitarian Award for Wayne County, The Child in the Hand Award from Life Directions, the Award of Appreciation from the Government Administrators Association four years in a row, 1994, '95, '96, and '97, and also the St. Boniface Human Services Award. Joan also served as the first woman commissioner in thirty years on the Wayne County Board of Commissioners; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body and the people of the State of Michigan honor and recognize the life of Joan Marie Petitpren. It is with deep sorrow that we bid farewell to a woman with such incredible strength and grace; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Joan's family as an expression of our deepest sympathy for their loss. There will be a tremendous void as the result of the loss of Joan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
