Rep. Mike McFall, from the 14th District, offered the following invocation:

 

“Gracious and Loving Spirit,

Source of all wisdom and compassion, we gather at the opening of today’s session mindful of our shared responsibility to serve the people of Michigan.

In this chamber, where many voices come together, help us to listen with respect, to speak with care, and to work together across our differences for the common good.

May we remember those whose voices are often unheard, the vulnerable, the struggling, the overlooked. Let our decisions uplift those who face hardship, protect those living on the margins, and bring dignity and hope to every person in this state.

May we be reminded of the sacred call from my faith tradition, Community of Christ’s Doctrine and Covenants section 164, which invites us to be a community where all are welcome, where fear is replaced by love, and where worth is not measured by conformity but by the divine light within each soul. Grant us the courage to live that vision, not only in word, but in action.

May this body be a place where justice is not abstract, where inclusion is not optional, and where all people, regardless of who they are or how they live or love, know they belong in the fabric of our shared life.

Grant us clarity in our decision-making, strength in moments of challenge, and humility in times of success. Bless our state, its people, and all those who labor quietly each day to make Michigan a place of opportunity, dignity, and hope.

In Your name we pray,

Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Jaime Greene and Fox offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 100.

A resolution to declare May 13, 2025, as Digital Asset Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Digital assets including cryptocurrencies, blockchain-based tokens, and other decentralized technologies are rapidly transforming the global financial landscape, offering innovative solutions for commerce, governance, and data security; and

Whereas, Michigan has emerged as a leader in embracing technological advancements, fostering an environment conducive to innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth within the digital asset sector; and

Whereas, The adoption and understanding of digital assets are crucial for the state’s continued economic development, financial inclusion, and the empowerment of its residents in the evolving digital economy; and

Whereas, Educational initiatives and public awareness campaigns are essential to equip Michiganders with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the opportunities and challenges presented by digital assets; and

Whereas, Designating a day to recognize and promote awareness of digital assets will encourage informed dialogue, responsible innovation, and collaborative efforts among stakeholders across the state; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 13, 2025, as Digital Asset Awareness Day in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That we encourage individuals, businesses, educational institutions, and government agencies to engage in activities and programs that foster a deeper understanding of digital assets and their impact on our society and economy.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

Reps. Alexander, Breen, Fitzgerald, Fox, Lightner, Paiz, Rigas, Rogers, Schuette and Wegela offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 101.

A resolution to declare May 2025 as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Michigan has 233,497 registered motorcycles and 612,242 individuals who have operator licenses with a motorcycle endorsement; and

Whereas, The safe operation of a motorcycle requires the use of special skills developed through a combination of training and expertise, the use of good judgment, plus a thorough knowledge of traffic laws and licensing requirements; and

Whereas, The use of proper protective riding apparel is an important part of a motorcycle operator’s responsibility; and

Whereas, Motorcycle safety awareness advocacy is a cooperative effort to decrease the number of injuries and fatalities associated with motorcycling; and

Whereas, The promotion of motorcycle rider education programs available through the Michigan Department of State, including recommendations that motorcycle operators wear the proper gear, in addition to driving their vehicles defensively and cautiously, is intended to reduce the number of crashes; and

Whereas, The emergence of spring is synonymous with the return of motorcycle enthusiasts to our state’s roadways. Throughout Michigan, motorcyclists have been on the cutting edge of supporting the wise and sensible use of this enjoyable mode of travel; and

Whereas, Indeed, the disproportionate number of motorcycle fatalities make it vitally important to encourage motorcyclists to understand and practice the highest degree of safety. It is also important to remind other drivers that highway safety is beneficial to all parties traveling on public roadways; and

Whereas, Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month encourages motorcycle operators to don proper protective riding attire, maintain their motorcycles using safety and maintenance checks found in the owner’s manual, abide by the laws of the road, and implement operating techniques providing an additional standard of safety; and

Whereas, Car and truck drivers are informed of the fact that motorcyclists are resuming their travels on our public roadways and each is advised to be exceptionally vigilant and watchful when approaching or passing a motorcycle on the highway; now, therefore be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2025 as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We encourage all of Michigan’s citizens to participate in the aims and goals of this effort.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

Reps. Schmaltz, Alexander, Breen, DeSana, Fitzgerald, Fox, Lightner, MacDonell, Paiz, Rigas, Rogers, Schuette and Witwer offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 102.

A resolution to declare May 11-17, 2025, as Police Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others; and

Whereas, There are more than 800,000 law enforcement officers serving in communities across the United States, including the approximately 17,000 full-time uniformed police officers in Michigan. These dedicated individuals serve in more than six hundred state, county, and local departments; and

Whereas, Members of law enforcement deserve the appreciation and respect of the people of Michigan for the merit, dignity, bravery, and reliability they exhibit each and every day. We must also honor the sacrifices made by families of police officers, as each day they must face constant fear as their loved one works to protect us; and

Whereas, In 2024 alone, 165 law enforcement officers were killed in the line of duty across the country. The names of these dedicated public servants are engraved on the walls of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C.; and

Whereas, Michigan’s fallen officers will never be forgotten, nor will their service to their respective communities. By choosing to commit themselves to law enforcement, these brave individuals answered the call for service and willingly put their lives in jeopardy. We commend them for recognizing service as a noble career, and protecting the public safety; and

Whereas, Michigan citizens have turned to members of law enforcement for assistance and support in times of distress, whether they are coping with a personal crisis, or struggling through civil disorder or a natural disaster. Our communities rely on these courageous individuals when it is difficult to stand on our own, and we are indebted to the unwavering public service of our local and state police. We are indeed fortunate and grateful for the contributions of law enforcement officers to the people of this state; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 11-17, 2025, as Police Week in the state of Michigan. We publicly salute the service of law enforcement officers in our state and nation and honor police who place their lives on the line for the safety and security of their communities.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.
