Rep. Douglas C. Wozniak, from the 59th District, offered the following invocation:

 

“In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN.

Lord, as we begin work at our state’s capital this morning, we ask You to fill us with a spirit of humility and hard work. We ask You for the grace to trust that Your will is the solution to the many problems of our world.

Help us to seek to accomplish Your will in the legislation we consider and pass. Father, we know that we are not perfect, but we also know that Your power is made perfect in weakness. Make us attentive to the needs of our constituents, who look to us to be their voice and to do the job they elected us to do.

Remove all pride from our hearts and grant us the resolve constantly to place ourselves at their service.

Bless all that we say and do and increase our devotion to our brothers and sisters throughout our great state. We ask all this through our Lord, Jesus Christ.

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN.”

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Rigas, Outman, Jaime Greene, Borton, Zorn, Smit, Mueller, Lightner, Prestin, St. Germaine, Schriver, Aragona, Kunse, Roth, Johnsen, Slagh, Maddock, Paquette, DeSana, Friske, Posthumus, Filler, Beeler, Liberati, Tisdel, Bruck, Alexander, Meerman, DeBoyer, Schuette, Beson, Neyer, BeGole, Bierlein, Hall, VanderWall, Martin, Hoadley, Markkanen, Wozniak, Bezotte, Bollin, Cavitt, Steele, DeBoer, McKinney, Fox, Thompson, Wegela, Tsernoglou, Aiyash, Breen, Hill, Koleszar, Paiz, Rheingans and Young offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 149.

A resolution to declare October 15, 2023, as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Each year, approximately one million pregnancies in the United States end in miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of a newborn baby. It is a great tragedy to lose the life of a child. Babies sometimes live within or outside their mothers’ wombs for only a short period of time. Even the shortest lives are still valuable and the grief of those who mourn the loss of these lives should not be trivialized; and

Whereas, The observance of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day may provide validation to those who have lost a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death; and

Whereas, A public that is informed and educated about miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss can better learn how to respond with compassion to affected families. Professionals who come in contact with families who have suffered such losses, such as physicians, clergy, emergency medical technicians, funeral directors, police officers, public health nurses, educators, and employers, can better serve families if they have better knowledge of pregnancy and infant loss; and

Whereas, Recognizing Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day will provide the people of the state of Michigan with an opportunity to increase their understanding of the great tragedy involved in the deaths of unborn and newborn babies; and

Whereas, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day will enable the people of Michigan to consider how, as individuals and communities, they can meet the needs of bereaved mothers, fathers, and family members, and work to prevent the causes of these deaths; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 15, 2023, as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day in the state of Michigan. We support the goals and ideals of National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day; and be it further

Resolved, That we recognize the grief of the families who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss and wish to help heal and comfort these families in a time of pain and heartache, to give the families hope for the future, and to assist women and families across the state in understanding their experience.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Churches, Conlin, Morse, Hoskins, Martus, Aiyash, Breen, Fitzgerald, Glanville, Haadsma, Hill, Hood, Koleszar, Paiz, Rheingans, Rogers, Weiss and Young offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 150.

A resolution to declare October 13, 2023, as Forging Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The forging sector plays a crucial role in driving economic growth, creating job opportunities, and fostering innovation; and

Whereas, It is essential to recognize the hard work, dedication, and ingenuity of the individuals working in the forging industry; and

Whereas, By designating a specific day to honor and showcase forging achievements, we can raise awareness about its importance and inspire the next generation of manufacturers; and

Whereas, Friday, October 13, 2023, provides an ideal opportunity to celebrate Forging Day due to its proximity to the end of the calendar year and aligning with the traditionally celebrated Manufacturing Day events; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 13, 2023, as Forging Day in the state of Michigan. We encourage businesses, educational institutions, and communities to organize events and activities that highlight the positive impact of the forging industry; and be it further

Resolved, That we pledge to collaborate with relevant stakeholders to promote Forging Day and actively participate in related initiatives, use its communication channels and platforms to spread awareness about Forging Day and its significance, and advocate for government recognition and support for the forging sector through policy measures and initiatives.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

Rep. Schuette moved that the Committee on Government Operations be discharged from further consideration of House Resolution No. 146.

(For first notice see House Journal No. 83, p. 1947.)

The question being on the motion made by Rep. Schuette,
