e/d/s = entered during session

Pastor Jason Jackson, Pastor of Brookside Missionary Baptist Church in Shelby Township, offered the following invocation:

“Lord, we stand before You today. Humbled that You even hear us from Your high throne of grace. Yet Lord we come to You boldly before You, knowing that You desire to hear our sincere petitions. So Lord hear not only my words, but hear our hearts.

Today, we acknowledge Your authority. We reverence Your majesty. Together, we are but Your humble servants. In this House of Representatives of the people of the state of Michigan, we recognize today that You are the Sovereign and that we answer to You above all. As our national motto says, ‘In You, God, we trust.’ And as the great rallying cry of our American Revolution so simply stated, ‘No King, but Jesus’.

So let everything done in this house by these representatives be according to Your will. Let those elected to this position. Always remember that You are the One Who has set them in this place ‘for such a time as this’. Let their hearts be turned toward You. Let them establish justice, love mercy, and walk humbly before You, that both our laws and their lives might be pleasing to You. Before any decisions are made, let the men and women of this house seek first from Your wisdom. Let them seek Your kingdom and Your righteousness. No man can serve two masters. So let us seek to please You.

Change hearts today to repentance. And let us seek compromise only when it moves us closer to Your perfect will. Let us be united not only in a pretty prayer, but in a true desire to be righteous in all our doings both in this house and privately.

I pray. Blessings from You upon each representative and everyone who works with them and for them. Always remind them that they work for us, the people, but that they lead us for You. Help them lead us toward You. If there is one person in this chamber who does not know for certain that they have had their sins forgiven by failing the other in the shed blood of Your son, Jesus Christ, we pray together for them. We pray that they will call upon His name and receive eternal life.

And it is in that name, ‘the only name under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved’, the name of Jesus that we pray, AMEN.”

If the initial slate of nominees is rejected by the Legislature, a new slate must be nominated in the same manner as the initial slate within seven days after the rejection. Any individual on the rejected slate may be nominated on a subsequent slate. The process described in this subsection continues until a slate of commissioners and alternates is commissioned.

Instructions to Commissioners.

Rule 4. (a) The Legislature may provide additional instructions to the commissioners in the commissioning resolution, or at any time by a subsequent concurrent resolution adopted by a majority of the members elected to and serving in each house of the Legislature. If the Legislature provides additional instructions by a subsequent concurrent resolution, the Clerk of the House of Representatives shall provide a copy of that resolution to each commissioner.

(b) Any vote of a commissioner cast at the convention in violation of the Legislature’s instructions is void ab initio and shall have no effect. The chair of the convention shall not consider any such vote in determining how this state’s vote is cast at the convention.

Vacancies.

Rule 5. In the event the seat of any commissioner becomes vacant, that commissioner’s alternate replaces the commissioner as a member of the delegation and a replacement alternate must be nominated and commissioned by the process described in rule 3. A vacant commissioner seat must be filled by that commissioner’s alternate and must not be directly filled by the Legislature. In the event the seat of any alternate becomes vacant, a replacement alternate must be nominated and commissioned by the process described in rule 3. If both the commissioner and alternate seats for a given slot are vacant, a replacement commissioner and alternate must be nominated and commissioned by the process described in rule 3.

Commissioner Removal.

Rule 6. (a) A commissioner or alternate may be removed at any time and for any reason by a concurrent resolution adopted by a majority of the members elected to and serving in each house of the Legislature.

(b) A commissioner who is convicted of exceeding the scope of that commissioner’s authority under section 2 of House Bill No. 5151 (request no. H01892’25) of the 103rd Legislature is automatically removed upon conviction.

(c) If a commissioner or alternate is removed, the seat of that commissioner or alternate becomes vacant, and the vacancy must be filled as provided by rule 5.

Commissioner Suspension.

Rule 7. (a) The Legislature may, by concurrent resolution, make a determination that a commissioner has exceeded that commissioner’s authority and suspend that commissioner.

(b) If a commissioner is suspended, the commissioner’s alternate replaces the commissioner as a member of the delegation for the duration of the suspension. A commissioner suspended under this rule remains suspended pending a vote of the Legislature to either reinstate or remove that commissioner by concurrent resolution.

Oath.

Rule 8. Each commissioner shall, before exercising any function of the position, execute the following oath in writing:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I accept and will act according to the limits of authority specified in my commission and any present or subsequent instructions. I understand that violating this oath may subject me to penalties provided by law. I understand that I may be recalled or suspended from my duties by the Legislature.”.

Credentials.

Rule 9. A commissioner’s executed oath must be filed with the Secretary of State. After a commissioner’s executed oath is filed with the Secretary of State, the Clerk of the House of Representatives shall provide to the commissioner an official copy of the executed oath and the commissioning resolution, which together shall serve as the commissioner’s credentials.

Compensation and Expenses.

Rule 10. A commissioner shall receive the same compensation as a member of the House of Representatives, prorated for the length of time served as commissioner, and the same allowance for expenses as provided to a member of the House of Representatives. The delegation may hire up to three staff members to assist and accompany the delegation to the convention. The delegation shall determine the compensation of the staff members.

Emolument and Gift Prohibition.

Rule 11. A commissioner shall not accept, during the commissioner’s time of service, any gifts or benefits with a combined value of more than $200.00, other than from a member of the commissioner’s family and of the kind customarily granted by a member of one’s family. The term “gift or benefit” shall be construed liberally to include current and future loans, lodging, food, offers of prospective employment, and other actual and prospective benefits. An employer’s decision to continue paying a commissioner’s current salary shall not be construed to be a gift.

Quorum and Rule of Decision Within the Delegation.

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Skaggs, Fox, Outman, Paiz and Rogers offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 198.

A resolution to declare October 28, 2025, as Oxi Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Oxi Day honors the valor of heroic Greek struggle against Axis military forces which began on October 28, 1940, and marked a turning point in the fight against fascist aggression. The resistance forged on Oxi Day helped lead to the subsequent Allied and Greek victories over Italian and German Axis forces; and

Whereas, Benito Mussolini’s Fascist Italy, in alliance with Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany, formed the European Axis powers and sought to promote fascist policies throughout Europe before and during the World War II; and

Whereas, On October 28, 1940, the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini delivered an ultimatum to Greek Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas, demanding he allow Italian military forces to enter and occupy Greece or face war; and

Whereas, Prime Minister Metaxas answered Mussolini’s demand for surrender with one word: “Oxi!” or “No!;” and

Whereas, Italian troops invaded Greece hours later; and

Whereas, That morning, thousands of Greek citizens took to the streets, chanting “Oxi!,” in honor of Prime Minister Metaxas’ refusal to relent to foreign fascist aggression; and

Whereas, Though the Italian army enjoyed a firepower advantage ten times greater than that of the Greek military, Greece repelled the Italian offensive and initiated a counter offensive that liberated its territory; and

Whereas, The courageous resistance of the Greeks demonstrated to the world that the fascist Axis militaries could be defeated as these battles marked the first allied victories of the war and helped stem the tide of fascism in Europe; and

Whereas, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill observed the Greek people’s brave and determined actions and noted, “Hence we will not say that Greeks fight like heroes, but that heroes fight like Greeks”; and

Whereas, American President Franklin D. Roosevelt, awestruck at the Greek victories, stated: “When the entire world had lost hope, the Greek people dared to question the invincibility of the German monster, raising against it the proud spirit of freedom;” and

Whereas, Greek victories compelled the German Army to come to the aid of Italy, intervene in the Greco-Italian War, and launch its own invasion and occupation of Greece; and

Whereas, The German invasion of Greece forced Hitler to redeploy vital troops meant for Operation Barbarossa and delay his invasion of the Soviet Union; and

Whereas, This delay helped force the German army to face a brutal Russian winter at the gates of Moscow which hindered their advance and ultimately led to their eventual defeat; and

Whereas, British Prime Minister Churchill concluded that, “if there had not been the virtue and courage of the Greeks, we do not know which the outcome of World War II would have been”; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan recognizes the cultural impact of Greek-Americans in Michigan and therefore acknowledges the historic and courageous significance of Oxi Day; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan values the traditions and contributions of citizens who hold Greek heritage, who have made an impact not only in Michigan and the United States, but in the wider world as well; and

Whereas, Since 1942, “Oxi Day” has been celebrated in Greece and Cyprus on October 28, commemorating Greece’s refusal to submit to Italian and German fascism; and

Whereas, Greek-American cultural associations and community organizations across Michigan continue to preserve and share the history and traditions of Oxi Day, strengthening the bond between American and Greek republics; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 28, 2025, as Oxi Day in the state of Michigan. We recognize Greek heroism and their resistance to Italian and German fascism which began when Greek Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas’ answered “Oxi” to Italian dictator Mussolini on October 28, 1940, and sparked a continental struggle which played an important role in the victory of the Allies, the defeat of European fascism and the preservation of democracy in Europe.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.
