“Gracious God,

We pause at the beginning of this session with hearts of gratitude—for the gift of life, for the privilege of living in this great state, and for the call to serve the people of Michigan.

Grant wisdom and clarity to each leader gathered here. Strengthen them with courage to make decisions that honor the common good, with humility to listen well, and with compassion to consider those whose voices are often unheard.

We ask for unity of spirit even amid differences, that respect and integrity would guide every word and action. May gratitude, justice, and hope be the hallmarks of this assembly’s work.

Bless their families, their communities, and the citizens they represent. May this chamber be filled with wisdom, service, and peace today.

Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Meerman, Longjohn, Miller, Paiz, Paquette, Rheingans, Rigas and Witwer offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 165.

A resolution to declare September 2025 as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Awareness Month and September 9, 2025, as FASD Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) are a group of lifelong, brain- and body-based developmental disabilities resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure, affecting behavior, learning, and health across the lifespan; and

Whereas, FASD is a lifelong developmental disability that requires coordinated, neurodiversity-affirming support in schools, health care, behavioral health, employment, housing, and the justice system; and

Whereas, National research indicates that up to 1 in 20 U.S. school-aged children may have an FASD, underscoring the magnitude of this public-health issue and the need for early identification and appropriate supports; and

Whereas, Organizations in Michigan have taken steps to address FASD – including the Children’s FASD System of Care operating within community mental health systems in Genesee, Macomb, Muskegon, Oakland, and Ottawa counties, and providing statewide training efforts reaching child-welfare, substance-use, juvenile-justice, education, medical, and community partners; and

Whereas, People across Michigan and the United States observe FASD Awareness Month each September and FASD Awareness Day on September 9 (the ninth day of the ninth month, symbolizing a healthy, alcohol-free nine-month pregnancy), an observance recognized in Michigan in previous years; and

Whereas, Michigan families affected by FASD frequently encounter fragmented services, under-diagnosis, and misdiagnosis, resulting in preventable school disruptions, family stress, and costly crisis responses; and

Whereas, National studies show substantial under-identification of FASD in schools and clinics; and

Whereas, Children with FASD are disproportionately represented in child-welfare and foster-care settings nationwide. This is reflected by a recent scoping review estimating about 18.8% of children in foster care have an FASD, and other U.S. research in child-welfare population reported 25-28% with FASD, however, Michigan’s administrative datasets (e.g., AFCARS/NCANDS) do not currently report statewide counts of children with FASD; and

Whereas, The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services provides public education on FASD and emphasizes that FASD is 100% preventable if alcohol is not consumed during pregnancy; and

Whereas, Public awareness campaigns-especially during September-that clearly communicate there is no known safe amount of alcohol during pregnancy and that emphasis on compassionate, family-centered support help inform citizens about FASD; and

Whereas, Prevention, early screening, and appropriate accommodations markedly improve outcomes; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That members of the legislative body declare September 2025 as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Awareness Month and September 9, 2025, as FASD Awareness Day in the state of Michigan; and, be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, the Michigan Department of Education, the State Court Administrative Office, and the Michigan FASD Task Force.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

The Speaker announced that pursuant to Rule 41, the bill was laid over one day.

Senate Bill No. 501, entitled

Explanation of “No” Votes

Rep. Mentzer, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of House Bill No. 4218, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I am unable to vote for this amended version of HB 4218 on the grounds that I find this to be a diluted, uncomprehensive version of the bill that could have better served Michiganders by allowing mental health professionals and groups to serve on the council while still addressing the conflicts of interest.”

Rep. Myers-Phillips, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of House Bill No. 4218, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I support the State Recipient Rights Advisory Committee. I voted no because the bill, as amended, removed the statutory participation of the ARC Michigan, Disability Rights Michigan, and the Mental Health Association of Michigan. These institutions are the pillars of care in our State, and I firmly believe that Michigan residents, especially people and families of individuals with disabilities, are best served by ensuring that these independent, educational, and advocacy groups —solely dedicated to persons with disabilities —have a seat at the table. These organizations are exemplary for their technical expertise, the service, and the trust they have built in communities across Michigan over the course of decades. Whether or not the House version passes the Senate, I want to reiterate my unwavering commitment to working with all stakeholders. Together, we can ensure Michigan has just and equitable policies to support and protect the rights of Michiganders with disabilities.”

Rep. Wooden, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

While I am very open and willing to support legislation that would provide greater local control over the administration of ballot test decks, I am concerned this bill, as written, would strip the Secretary’s ability to provide any form of oversight. Maintaining the integrity of our elections demands we keep as many checks and balances as possible. I am hopeful a compromise can be struck that offers meaningful local control with reasonable oversight from the Secretary of State’s office.”

As an avid dog lover, I have concerns regarding the use of ambulatory vehicles designed for human use for canines.

I support in theory.”
