Rep. Nancy DeBoer, from the 86th District, offered the following invocation:

 

“Dear Lord,

We do not stand in this consecrated Chamber lightly. We say with the Psalmist of old:

‘Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty—He is the King of glory.’

We thank You, Lord, that no matter how hard a day is, whatever happens to us or around us, we can come to You as our Almighty, loving Friend. We thank You for creating each of us with unique gifts and purpose. We thank You for the opportunity You have given us to serve the amazing people of the great State of Michigan.

We pray that You will give us Your wisdom and discernment as we work to create and amend legislation. We pray that You will help us respect and care about each other as we come together to serve the good people of Michigan.

We are honored to serve in this Chamber and feel the weight of the mantle of responsibility this office holds. We ask that Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus Holy name we pray, Amen.”

Reps. Miller, Haadsma, Rheingans and Rogers offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 77.

A resolution to declare April 16, 2023, as Healthcare Decisions Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, National Healthcare Decisions Day is April 16, 2023, and is designed to raise public awareness of the need to plan ahead for healthcare decisions related to end-of-life care and medical decision-making whenever patients are unable to speak for themselves and to encourage the specific use of advance directives to communicate these important healthcare decisions; and

Whereas, It is estimated that only about 20 percent of people in Michigan have executed an advance directive, in part due to a lack of knowledge about advance directives and considerable public confusion arising from advance directives that are often written in difficult to understand legal and medical terms; and

Whereas, Easy-to-understand advance directives that are written in plain language, such as those provided by Five Wishes and distributed by the non-profit organization Aging with Dignity, are desirable because they enable completion and foster important family discussions; and

Whereas, Because Five Wishes is available in 30 languages, citizens of our ethnic and culturally diverse state can state their wishes about comfort, dignity, and the personal, family, and spiritual issues that matter most; and

Whereas, Michigan citizens can complete an advanced directive and submit it to the statewide registry called Peace of Mind; and

Whereas, One of the principal goals of Healthcare Decisions Day is to encourage hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, continuing care retirement communities, and hospices to participate in a statewide effort to provide clear and consistent information to the public about advance directives and increase the number of Michigan residents with advance directives; and

Whereas, Many of the Michigan healthcare, business, faith based groups, and senior services organizations have demonstrated commendable leadership in furthering patient and caregiver-focused advance care planning, and are committed to educating the public about the importance of discussing healthcare choices and completing advance directives; and

Whereas, As a result of April 16, 2023, being recognized as Healthcare Decisions Day throughout Michigan, more citizens will have conversations about their healthcare decisions; more citizens will execute advance directives to make their wishes known; and fewer families and healthcare providers will have to struggle with making difficult healthcare decisions in the absence of guidance from the patient; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 16, 2023, as Healthcare Decisions Day in the state of Michigan. We call this observance to the attention of all citizens.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

 

Rep. Miller moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:

Substitute for House Resolution No. 77.

A resolution to declare April 16, 2023, as Healthcare Decisions Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, National Healthcare Decisions Day is April 16, 2023, and is designed to raise public awareness of the need to plan ahead for healthcare decisions related to end-of-life care and medical decision-making whenever patients are unable to speak for themselves and to encourage the specific use of advance directives to communicate these important healthcare decisions; and

Whereas, It is estimated that only about 20 percent of people in Michigan have executed an advance directive, in part due to a lack of knowledge about advance directives and considerable public confusion arising from advance directives that are often written in difficult to understand legal and medical terms; and

Whereas, Michigan citizens can complete an advanced directive and submit it to the statewide registry called Peace of Mind; and

Whereas, One of the principal goals of Healthcare Decisions Day is to encourage hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, continuing care retirement communities, and hospices to participate in a statewide effort to provide clear and consistent information to the public about advance directives and increase the number of Michigan residents with advance directives; and

Whereas, Many of the Michigan healthcare, business, faith based groups, and senior services organizations have demonstrated commendable leadership in furthering patient and caregiver-focused advance care planning, and are committed to educating the public about the importance of discussing healthcare choices and completing advance directives; and

Whereas, As a result of April 16, 2023, being recognized as Healthcare Decisions Day throughout Michigan, more citizens will have conversations about their healthcare decisions; more citizens will execute advance directives to make their wishes known; and fewer families and healthcare providers will have to struggle with making difficult healthcare decisions in the absence of guidance from the patient; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 16, 2023, as Healthcare Decisions Day in the state of Michigan. We call this observance to the attention of all citizens.

The motion prevailed and the substitute (H-1) was adopted, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

Messages from the Governor

 

 

The following message from the Governor was received April 17, 2023 and read:

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER

No. 2023-2

Declaration of State of Emergency

 

Beginning on April 11, 2023, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan experienced a rapid melting of the snowpack, caused by rising temperatures. As a result of this accelerated thaw, the counties of Gogebic and Houghton have faced dangerous conditions and sustained damages caused by widespread flooding, as fast-moving melt waters have overwhelmed storm water and sewer systems, burst earthen dams, caused culverts and embankments to fail, caused road washouts and closures, caused sinkholes to appear, and deposited debris and silt on roadways. Water flows have yet to fully recede. Both counties have declared local states of emergency.

Local officials have taken several actions to respond to the situation, including but not limited to activating the emergency response and recovery aspects of their emergency operations plans, staffing their emergency operations centers to coordinate response and recovery activities, issuing emergency public information, closing roads and redirecting traffic, placing sandbags, and otherwise utilizing local resources to address these conditions. State assistance is necessary to effectively respond to, and recover from, the impacts of this flooding.

Section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the State of Michigan in the governor. Under the Emergency Management Act, 1976 PA 390, as amended, MCL 30.403(4), “[t]he governor shall, by executive order or proclamation, declare a state of emergency if he or she finds that an emergency has occurred or that the threat of an emergency exists.”

Therefore, acting under the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, including the Emergency Management Act, 1976 PA 390, as amended, MCL 30.401 to 30.421, I order the following:

   1.  A state of emergency is declared for the counties of Gogebic and Houghton.

   2.  The Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division of the Department of State Police shall coordinate and maximize all state efforts and may call upon all state departments to utilize available resources to assist in the designated area pursuant to the Michigan Emergency Management Plan.

   3.  The state of emergency is terminated at such time as the threats to public health, safety, and property caused by the emergency no longer exist, and appropriate programs have been implemented to recover from the effects of this emergency, but in no case later than May 12, unless extended as provided by the Emergency Management Act.

Date:  April 14, 2023

Time: 3:20 p.m.    

                                         [SEAL]                                  GRETCHEN WHITMER

                                                                                       GOVERNOR

                                                                                       By the Governor

                                                                                       Jocelyn Benson

                                                                                       SECRETARY OF STATE

The message was referred to the Clerk.

Communications from State Officers

 

 

The following communication from the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity was received and read:

 

             April 18, 2023

In accordance with Section 8 of the Michigan Employment Security Act, being Section 421.8 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, Unemployment Insurance Agency is required to report annually to the Governor and the Legislature any amount, in excess of $1.00, that the maximum weekly unemployment benefit rate would increase if the annual increase in the United States Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) were applied to the maximum weekly benefit rate for Michigan.

I am; therefore, transmitting to the Governor, and to the House and Senate for publication along with this letter in the Journals of their respective bodies, the enclosed report showing that since the last increase in the maximum weekly benefit rate to $362.00, the increase in the CPI would result in an increase in the maximum weekly unemployment benefit rate to $579.33.

                                                                                       Respectfully submitted,

                                                                                       Julia Dale, Director

                                                                                          Unemployment Insurance Agency

The communication was referred to the Clerk.
