Help us to see Your truth about the path that lies ahead. Please give us the strength to pursue that route, God, for You gave us a spirit not of fear, not of timidity, but of strength and power and love and kindness. Help us as we debate the issues of the day today, God. Please help us to do so in that spirit, God. Help us to see others as You see them, God. Help us to see ourselves as You see us.

The motion prevailed.

Senators Bieda, Rocca, Johnson, Kowall and Anderson offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 73.

A resolution to memorialize the President and the United States Congress to support the Republic of Poland and their admittance to the Visa Waiver Program.

Whereas, Throughout history, Poland has played an essential role in the settlement and protection of the United States in its pursuit of freedom; and

Whereas, With over 10 million Polish Americans living within the United States, it is of the utmost importance that Poland be admitted to the Visa Waiver Program; and

Whereas, In recent years, many Polish soldiers have given their lives in Afghanistan and Iraq in pursuance of a more free world; and

Whereas, Today, with the Polish economy thriving, not only will admittance to the Visa Waiver Program be beneficial to Poland and its citizens, but it will also benefit the United States by bringing more capital and jobs to the economy; and

Whereas, While Poland’s visa denial rate hovers outside of the 3 percent threshold, this rate has been criticized by organizations such as the Heritage Foundation and the Governmental Accountability Office as ineffective and inaccurate; and

Whereas, With the admission to the Visa Waiver Program, the outcome of the admittance will benefit both the United States and the Republic of Poland; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we memorialize the President and the United States Congress to support the Republic of Poland and their admittance to the Visa Waiver Program; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the President of the United States, the U.S. Secretary of State, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and the Polish American Leadership Political Action Committee.

Pursuant to rule 3.204, the resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

Senators Proos and Brandenburg were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.

Senators Proos, Marleau, Brandenburg, Hansen, Booher and Robertson offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 74.

A resolution to encourage Michigan K-12 schools to comply with the state fire prevention code which requires at least two lockdown drills per year.

Whereas, School safety is of utmost importance in Michigan communities, especially in light of recent disturbing and violent events on school grounds around the country. Michigan has taken steps in recent years to protect students and staff in our schools. Legislation passed in 2006 requires a minimum of two lockdown drills per year for all schools that teach any grade, kindergarten through 12; and

Whereas, Since 1996, 53 out of 59 mass shootings in the United States have occurred on school grounds. The attacks killed 215 people and injured another 241. These events have raised the level of attention to issues of safety in our school buildings and those who occupy them. Preparedness is the key to saving lives; and

Whereas, School boards and administrators should continuously review new lockdown and school safety technology in order to revise their own policies as needed. Input from local emergency management coordinators and first responders will build upon current plans and strengthen the ability to protect against any encountered threat, whether natural or manmade; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we encourage Michigan K-12 schools to comply with the state fire prevention code which requires at least two lockdown drills per year; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Association of School Boards and the Michigan Association of School Administrators.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,

Senator Meekhof moved that the rule be suspended.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Senator Meekhof moved that the resolution be referred to the Committee on Education.

The motion prevailed.

Senators Bieda and Kowall were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.

Senate Resolution No. 37.

A resolution to urge the Internal Revenue Service to adopt a formula for determining full-time employment that assumes that adjunct faculty work one hour outside the classroom for each hour that they teach for the purposes of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Senators Booher, Hansen, Proos, Jansen and Green were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.
