Rev. Dr. W. Frederick Wooden, Retired Senior Minister of Fountain Street Church in Grand Rapids, offered the following invocation:

 

“Let us take a few seconds in silence to think of the people who have helped us become who we are - parents, siblings, teachers, friends.

El Meleh Rahamim, Ar Raham, God of compassion and grace: help us remember who made us, who held us as we came small and slippery into the world, who fed us, who sheltered us, who showed us the majesties of heaven and earth, who gave us words by which to know and think, and skills to stretch and reach. Help us remember them in the work before us. Whether present in the flesh or only in memory, they are that cloud of witnesses for whom we run this race. For truly they compass us about, looking down in hope and trust that we will serve them in all we say and do.

 And in words as old as the Bible itself, ‘May the one who creates peace in the celestial heights, create peace for us and for all and let us say, Amen.’”

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Fairbairn, Prestin, Beson, Bohnak, Neyer, Rigas, Paquette, Markkanen, Alexander, Cavitt, Martin, VanderWall, Borton, Fox, Miller and Witwer offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 215.

A resolution to declare November 15, 2025, as Hunting Heritage Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, In many Michigan homes and communities, hunting holds deep cultural significance; and

Whereas, November 15 was established as opening day of firearms deer season in 1925. While it proceeded to move around the fall calendar several times, it was returned to the traditional date in 1968, prompting pilgrimages to deer camps, hunting properties, stands, blinds, farms, and forests every year; and

Whereas, Opening day of firearms deer season has been a day of community, family, tradition, and bonding for Michigan deer hunters. It has become so ingrained in local customs and tradition that some schools and businesses in the state of Michigan close in observance of this annual rite; and

Whereas, Wildlife management would be an insurmountable problem in Michigan, were it not for hunters; and

Whereas, Groups throughout Michigan, such as the Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger and the Hunters Feeding Michigan program, in partnership with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Feeding America, allow for generous hunters to donate a portion of their harvest to families in need. These programs and those who participate in them demonstrate the positive impact hunters have in communities throughout the state; and

Whereas, Hunting supports more than 135,000 Michigan jobs annually, and has an estimated 8.9-billion-dollar positive impact on our state’s economy each year; and

Whereas, Acknowledgement and appreciation are due to the men and women who, through their passion for the time-honored tradition of hunting, have had an immensely positive impact on the lives of their families and communities, statewide wildlife management, and our economy; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare November 15, 2025, as Hunting Heritage Day in the state of Michigan. We support Michigan hunting culture and tradition as cherished and beneficial cornerstones of our Michigan identity.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

 

Rep. Posthumus moved that consideration of the resolution be postponed for the day.

The motion prevailed.

Reps. McKinney, Brenda Carter, O’Neal, Hope, Wilson, Wooden, Young, Longjohn, Dievendorf, Morgan, McFall, Snyder, Brixie, Rogers, Liberati, Wegela, MacDonell, Miller and Paiz offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 216.

A resolution urging Congress to support a National Infrastructure Bank as embodied in H.R. 5356 or equivalent legislation.

Whereas, In its 2021 report card, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) reported that it had graded the United States with a C- regarding the current state of its infrastructure. To date, there remains a two point five-trillion-dollar infrastructure investment gap that has continuously grown over the past decade. ASCE estimates that by 2039, this continued underinvestment across the country will cost our nation ten trillion dollars in GDP, more than three million jobs, and over two trillion dollars in export revenue; and

Whereas, As of 2023, the ASCE has also scored Michigan’s infrastructure with a grade of C-, matching the general state of infrastructure disrepair nationwide. Many of Michigan’s roads remain in appalling condition. The ASCE has rated approximately thirty-three percent of Michigan’s one-hundred and twenty thousand miles of paved roadways in poor condition, forty-two percent in fair condition, and a mere twenty-five percent in good condition. Wayne County, as just one example, has reported nearly sixty percent of its roads to be in poor condition. Finally, eleven percent of Michigan’s bridges have been deemed structurally deficient, higher than the reported national average of seven-and-one-half percent. These poor infrastructure conditions cost Michigan motorists, collectively, billions of dollars each year in wasted time and fuel, traffic crashes and injuries, and vehicle degradation; and

Whereas, The Detroit Public Schools Community District remains in a state of dilapidated repair and requires significant capital investment to restore. These schools continue to suffer from inoperable boilers, corroded plumbing fixtures, cracking exterior walls, leaking roofs, and faulty electric panels known to be fire hazards. While the district received approximately seven hundred million dollars in funding through COVID relief, it is reported that there remains a two-billion-dollar investment gap. This lack of funding has direct consequences for Michiganders living within the district; in 2018, for example, the drinking water in fifty-seven of the eighty-six tested Detroit schools was found to have elevated levels of both copper and lead; and

Whereas, According to Eric Oswald, Director of the Drinking Water and Environmental Health Division in the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, Michigan has between 300,000 and 500,000 lead water service lines, of which only around 50,000 have been replaced to date. Nationally, the cost to replace these service lines may exceed one-hundred billion dollars, fifteen billions dollars of which was allocated in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. For Michigan alone, the cost to replace these lines could total five billion dollars. Lead water poisoning causes permanent cognitive damage in young people. Therefore, all service lines of this type should be immediately replaced; and

Whereas, Housing insecurity predates COVID-19 and, following further complications exacerbated by the pandemic, remains a pressing concern for Michiganders across the state. As of July 2024, there remains a statewide housing shortage of around one-hundred and forty-one thousand units. An interim report on the topic of homelessness published in consultation with the City of Detroit in 2023 estimates that on any given night, over one thousand five hundred people in Detroit experience homelessness. Over the course of a year, the report estimates that nearly ten thousand individuals experience homelessness. Without funding available to secure more affordable housing for Detroit’s population, these numbers will only continue to increase; and

Whereas, This year, Congress introduced H.R. 5356, the National Infrastructure Bank Act. This legislation would have created a five-trillion-dollar public bank providing loans only for infrastructure projects. The bank would not have required any new federal spending to be capitalized and no new federal taxes. This bank would be capitalized by existing Treasury debt, as have previous institutions; and

Whereas, The National Infrastructure Bank Act is modeled on the establishment of previous banks utilized to build much of our nation’s infrastructure. Similar banks were employed under Presidents George Washington, James Madison, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. With the resources consolidated and deployed by virtue of the most recent iteration of a national bank, President Roosevelt was able to bring our nation out of the Great Depression and lead us to victory in the Second World War; and

Whereas, A new National Infrastructure Bank will help finance all of Michigan’s infrastructure needs. This bank, as described in H.R. 5356, would exist solely to build infrastructure, generate jobs, and battle poverty. Funding from this bank would be used to fix bridges, roads, schools, and drinking water systems; build affordable housing units; and install broadband across the nation. The bank would finance new rail and mass transportation projects, connecting Michigan to high-speed rail corridors in the Midwest and dramatically increasing manufacturing in our state; and

Whereas, Support for a National Infrastructure Bank is widespread across our state and the nation. At least twenty-nine state legislatures introduced or passed resolutions of support for H.R. 5356 or previously-introduced legislation on the topic. Local-level municipal bodies across the nation have also expressed support, including: Detroit City Council, Dearborn Heights City Council, Highland Park City Council, Inkster City Council, Hamtramck City Council, Romulus City Council, Redford Township Council, Cleveland City Council, Pittsburgh City Council, Chicago City Council, Providence RI City Council, Philadelphia City Council, New York City Council, Toledo City Council, Akron City Council, and many more. National organizations that endorse the establishment of National Infrastructure Bank include: the Public Banking Institute, the National Black Caucus of State Legislators, the National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators, the National Latino Farmers and Ranchers, the National Asian-Pacific American Caucus of State Legislators, the US High Speed Rail Association, the American Sustainable Business Council, the National Association of Minority Contractors, the United Association of Plumbers and Steamfitters, and many others; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge Congress to support a National Infrastructure Bank as embodied in H.R. 5356 or equivalent legislation; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the Governor, and the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to Committee on Government Operations.

 

 

Reps. McFall, Xiong, Brixie, Young, Dievendorf, Neeley, Tate, Weiss, Tsernoglou, Steckloff, Paiz, Scott, Mentzer, Glanville, Wooden, Liberati, Breen and Miller offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 217.

A resolution to urge the United States Congress, Department of War, and Department of Veterans Affairs to prioritize research and investment in non-technology treatment options for servicemembers and veterans who have psychological trauma as a result of military service.

Whereas, The men and women who voluntarily sign-up to serve our nation in the United States Armed Forces, and the additional uniformed services, generally do so with an understanding that such service may ultimately impact their physical and mental well-being. Even with this knowledge, they still answer the call to serve; and

Whereas, Members of the active-duty and reserve components of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard, as well as the Space Force and Army and Air National Guard, may have experiences that increase the risk of developing behavioral health problems, including traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, and depression. Effective treatment options for these conditions vary from servicemember to servicemember; and

Whereas, Upon return from deployment, members of the reserve components and the National Guard are demobilized and must reintegrate back into civilian life, while simultaneously losing access to the full range of services offered by the military health system and having to emotionally deal with the same experiences as their active-duty counterparts; and

Whereas, Non-technology treatment options, such as buddy-to-buddy programs, controlled use of psychedelics in clinical settings, outdoor therapy, and easier access to service animals, among others, have shown promise in helping veterans improve their mental health and finding a new normal while dealing with the invisible wounds of war and service; and

Whereas, The families of servicemembers must also not be forgotten, and resources should be made available to help them understand and assist their loved ones who may be suffering from psychological trauma. Family members of servicemembers or veterans with behavioral health problems may experience family violence and aggression, lower parenting satisfaction, and child behavior problems. Resources should include services that will help family members deal with the impacts of their loved ones’ service; and

Whereas, The need to address veteran mental health is of key importance in Michigan. In 2023, it was reported that there were 516,758 veterans living in Michigan, making Michigan rank twelfth out of fifty-three states and territories in veteran population. However, between 2016 and 2020, it was reported that there were 882 Michigan veterans who died by suicide. In 2022, 170 veterans died by suicide in our state; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the United States Congress, Department of War, and Department of Veterans Affairs to prioritize research and investment in non-technology treatment options for servicemembers and veterans who have psychological trauma as a result of military service; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, the Chair and Ranking Members of the Committees on Veterans’ Affairs and Armed Services, the United States Secretary of War, the United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and the members of the Michigan Congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to Committee on Government Operations.

Reps. Tate, Rogers, Xiong, Young, Neeley, Byrnes, Price, Brenda Carter, McKinney, Tyrone Carter, Koleszar, Weiss, Steckloff, Tsernoglou, Paiz, Scott, Glanville, Dievendorf, Mentzer, O’Neal, Longjohn, Witwer, Andrews, McFall, Liberati, Wooden, Breen and Miller offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 3.

A concurrent resolution to urge Congress to amend 38 U.S.C. § 5304 and 10 U.S.C. § 12316 to permit members of the United States reserves and National Guard to receive full or partial active service pay in tandem with disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Whereas, Many United States veterans may receive disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) while also receiving income from gainful employment. VA disability compensation is available for those who have an illness or injury affecting their mind or body that was incurred or aggravated in the line of duty. Offering this additional compensation to veterans who work to support themselves supplements their income and strengthens their financial security, the least our nation can offer to those who have sacrificed so much for it; and

Whereas, Currently, federal statute prohibits individuals serving in the National Guard or the military reserves from simultaneously receiving VA disability compensation and active service pay. Under 38 U.S.C. § 5304(c) and 10 U.S.C. § 12316, veterans are not allowed to receive VA disability pay for periods for which they receive active service pay, with a narrow exception for those called to active duty for an extended time during a war or national emergency. As a result, members of the reserves or National Guard must waive either their VA disability compensation, or their active duty pay for full-time training and drills, and the government may take back any excess payments these service members receive; and

Whereas, The rule forbidding simultaneous receipt of VA disability compensation and active service pay for work as a member of the reserves or National Guard is an unjust double standard that disincentivizes service to our nation. Many veterans are willing and able to serve in the reserves or National Guard despite their service-related disabilities, but if they choose further service to their country over other employment, they lose the opportunity to receive VA disability compensation to support themselves and their families. These veterans are faced with a bitter choice between their financial needs and comfort and their duty to their units and their country. The United States should not have policies that actively discourage honorable veterans from continuing to serve, and our laws should reflect the gratitude we hold for them; and

Whereas, Many Michigan veterans could benefit from the repeal of the prohibition on simultaneous receipt of VA disability compensation and active service pay. In 2023, 83.1 percent of the individuals serving in the reserves or National Guard in Michigan were under the age of 41. In fiscal year 2023, 31,155 individuals between ages 17 and 44 received VA disability compensation in Michigan. Many of these individuals may be ready and able to serve in the reserves or National Guard, but they are actively discouraged from doing so to protect their financial security; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we urge Congress to amend 38 U.S.C. § 5304 and 10 U.S.C. § 12316 to permit members of the United States reserves and National Guard to receive full or partial active service pay in tandem with disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the Secretary of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The concurrent resolution was referred to Committee on Government Operations.
