Rep. Abraham Aiyash, from the 9th District, offered the following invocation:
“BismaAllah Al-Rahman, Al-Raheem. In the name of God, the most compassionate, the most merciful.
All Praise is due to You, the Lord of the worlds. Guide us to a path of justice and peace. A path in which we dignify one another’s humanity and praise the glory of Your bounty. Keep us on the path of those You have blessed before us, and not of those that have gone astray.
Grant us the humility, compassion, and love for one another through the love we have for You.
It is through You, Ar-Razzaq - our Provider, that we seek the wisdom and ability to provide for those in need.
You are Al-Mujeeb, The One Who Responds to our Prayer - We pray for peace, reconciliation, and the protection of people and this planet.
You are Al-Haqq - the Absolute Truth - of all things known and unknown to us. Give us the wisdom to lead through Your Truth.
Lord, You are al-Hadi, the Guider. Guide us to pure convictions. Inspire in us the courage to act to match those convictions.
You are al-Mateen, The Ever Constant and Steadfast. Allow us to remain firm in our commitment to making the lives of all Michiganders better.
You are al Adl, the Most Just. Allow us to commit to seek justice, no matter who or for it is against.
You are al-Jami, the One who unites. Allow us to work in that spirit and come together, unite, and do the work of the people.
We pray that the trust in this institution is restored through You, Al-Jabber, for You are the Ulimate Restorer.
Guide the deliberations of our members to just decisions.
Let us not be overcome by the darkness of evil and division. Let us be the light that we seek from You.
We commit ourselves not to betray our prayers with actions that contradict them. May we honor one another, glorify You together. And inspire our state to be better.
Amen.”

House Resolution No. 7.
A resolution to declare January 9-13, 2023, as Human Trafficking Awareness Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Human trafficking, a form of modern-day slavery, is a crime under international, federal, and state law; and
Whereas, Human trafficking is defined as the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of persons for labor or services through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt, bondage, or slavery, and the inducement of a commercial sex act by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age; and
Whereas, To combat this form of modern-day slavery, the people of the United States, the federal government, and state and local governments must work to better understand the complex nature of this problem; and
Whereas, The members
of this legislative body encourage all Michiganders to use this week as an
opportunity to educate themselves about human trafficking and be aware of how
prevalent it is in our state; and
Whereas, Along with health care providers, social workers, child advocacy groups, and law enforcement, we all must work toward a statewide solution; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 9-13, 2023, as Human Trafficking Awareness Week in the state of Michigan. We support and commend all work by individuals, businesses, organizations, and governing bodies for their important contributions to this commitment to end modern-day slavery. We encourage citizens to get involved with local efforts to raise awareness of and opposition to human trafficking.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Reps. Wendzel, Alexander, Andrews, Aragona, BeGole, Bezotte, Bierlein, Bollin, Borton, Brabec, Breen, Brixie, Byrnes, Brenda Carter, Tyrone Carter, Coffia, Conlin, DeBoer, DeBoyer, Dievendorf, Edwards, Farhat, Filler, Fink, Fitzgerald, Fox, Glanville, Grant, Phil Green, Jaime Greene, Haadsma, Harris, Hill, Hoadley, Johnsen, Kuhn, Kunse, Maddock, Markkanen, Martin, Martus, Meerman, Mentzer, Miller, Morgan, Morse, Mueller, Neeley, Neyer, Outman, Paiz, Pohutsky, Puri, Rheingans, Rigas, Rogers, Roth, Schmaltz, Schriver, Schuette, Scott, Shannon, Skaggs, Smit, Steele, Stone, Thompson, Tisdel, Tsernoglou, VanderWall, Weiss, Wilson, Wozniak and Young offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 8.
A resolution to declare January 2023 as Human Trafficking Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Human trafficking is a crime under international, federal, and state law, and one of the fastest-growing crimes in the world, second only to drug trafficking as the most profitable form of crime, according to the U.S. Department of State; and
Whereas, Human trafficking is defined as the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of persons for labor or services through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery, and the inducement of a commercial sex act by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age; and
Whereas, Human trafficking is not exclusive to just one gender. All victims of human trafficking deserve equal respect and the opportunity to report that trauma without judgement; and
Whereas, To combat this form of modern-day slavery, the people of the United States, the federal government, and state and local governments must work to better understand the complex nature of this problem; and
Whereas, According to Rights4Girls, a human rights organization working to end gender-based violence in the U.S., African-American girls are disproportionately affected; Latino and Asian-American girls also experience unacceptable and disproportionate levels of trafficking; and
Whereas, We applaud the special unit designated to combat human trafficking in our State’s Attorney General’s Office and more must be done statewide to combat this growing trend. State and local law enforcement agencies must demonstrate a proactive approach to increasing awareness and prevention protocols and establishing community outreach efforts with civic, ecumenical, and community groups to keep our citizens safe; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 2023 as Human Trafficking Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We support and commend all work by individuals, businesses, organizations, and governing bodies for their important contributions to this commitment to end human trafficking; and be it further

Resolved, That we stand in full support of those victims of human trafficking who have yet to escape or be found and liberated; and be it further
Resolved, That we offer the gravest concern for those who have had loved ones become victims to human trafficking; and be it further
Resolved, That we commend those individuals who have been victims of trafficking and have survived to overcome the atrocity; and be it further
Resolved, That we support and commend all work by individuals, businesses, organizations, and governing bodies for their important contributions themselves to putting an end to human trafficking.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
House Resolution No. 9.
A resolution to declare January 11, 2023, as Human Trafficking Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Human trafficking is a modern-day form of slavery involving the illegal trade of people for exploitation or commercial gain; and
Whereas, Human trafficking is one of the fastest-growing crimes in the world, second only to drug trafficking as the most profitable form of crime, according to the U.S. Department of State; and
Whereas, The best estimates indicate that approximately $87 million per day is made off of sex trafficking victims; and
Whereas, Michigan gained national attention at both the state and federal levels after passing effective legislation in 2013 and 2014 to help combat human trafficking and strengthen victim rights, and was named the most improved state in 2015 for its laws addressing child sex trafficking, according to Shared Hope International. Michigan has gone from a rating of “F” in 2011, to a “B” rating in 2019 according to Shared Hope International’s Protected Innocence Challenge study. While this state has made considerable advances in fighting against human trafficking, we all must understand that there is still work to be done; and
Whereas, This legislative body encourages all Michiganders to educate themselves about human trafficking and be aware of how prevalent it is in our state; and
Whereas, We support victims of human trafficking who have yet to escape or be liberated and offer the gravest concern for those who have had loved ones become victims to human trafficking; and
