Rev. Dr. Willie A. Gholston II, Pastor of First Community African Methodist Episcopal Church in Grand Rapids, offered the following invocation:

“God of our weary years and silent tears,

Thou Who has brought us thus far along the way.

On this day we bow in humble submission before Your throne

grateful for yet another day’s journey.

For the activity of our limbs, movement of our minds and traveling mercies we are honored to be Your vessel.

We come in appreciation for what You have done, and stand in anticipation for what lies ahead.

We confess that in spite of our imperfections instill insight unto us to make better intellectual choices on today that will impact tomorrow.

Bless this House of Representatives,

Keep it safe and secure from hurt, harm and danger

Fill the atmosphere with Knowledge and keen capacity for understanding

That fosters a friendly force for freedom.

Grant us all wisdom

Give us all discernment and

Guide our feet as we run this race for justice, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in the facing of this hour and day.

Provide us passion for the interests of constituents and our communities

Unite our hearts and minds together as one in kindred love.

Where there are differences let us learn to work effectively and efficiently together for the common good.

Lord, have mercy upon us and incline our hearts to keep Your laws.

As we seek Your help to see Thee more clearly

Striving for excellence in all our ways

Love Thee more dearly

Listening to the concerned souls of Your people

And Follow Thee more nearly.

This we ask in Your name. Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

The Speaker laid before the House

House Resolution No. 79, entitled

A resolution to declare May 2025 as National Lyme Disease Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

(The resolution was introduced and postponed for the day on May 1, see House Journal No. 42, p. 457.)

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. St. Germaine, Roth, Schmaltz, Bierlein, Pavlov, DeBoyer, Robinson, Alexander, Glanville, MacDonell, Paiz, Rheingans, Rogers and Young offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 87.

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

Whereas, Michigan is home to over 11,000 inland lakes, thousands of miles of rivers, borders four of the five Great Lakes, and home of Boat Town U.S.A, making our state a premier destination for recreational boating; and

Whereas, Boating is a cherished tradition of fantastic diversity of water-based recreation for Michigan families and visitors each year, offering opportunities for recreation, family time, tourism, and connection with nature; and

Whereas, There has been a long and important presence of responsible boating safety in our Great Lakes State; and

Whereas, Participation in recreational boating has increased in recent years, which comes with a heightened need for promoting safe boating practices, including the critical importance of navigation awareness, operator responsibility, using common sense, mandatory safety equipment, monitoring weather conditions, accessible life jackets and understanding fundamental safety guidelines; and

Whereas, National Safe Boating Week, observed in May, serves as a springboard for broader education efforts across the month, encouraging boaters to be responsible, stay alert, have a float plan, and take safety seriously before heading out on the water; and

Whereas, State agencies, law enforcement, safety organizations, and volunteer groups across Michigan play an essential role in educating the public on learning and practicing safe boating by taking boating education courses, getting vessel safety checks, using commons sense, being weather-wise, operating soberly, and knowing the nautical rules of the water to ensure that captains and crew return to the shores of beautiful Michigan safely; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2025 as Boating Safety in the state of Michigan. We encourage all residents and visitors to engage in safe and responsible boating practices.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

House Resolution No. 88.

A resolution to declare May 6-12, 2025, as National Nurses Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, National Nurses Week is celebrated annually from May 6 through May 12 to honor the critical contributions of nurses to the health and well-being of individuals and communities across Michigan, culminating on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing; and

Whereas, Michigan is home to more than 175,000 registered nurses who serve throughout the state in hospitals, clinics, home health institutions, public health departments, correctional facilities, and more; and

Whereas, The nursing workforce faces many challenges, including exhaustion, staffing shortages, and workplace safety concerns. Nurses in Michigan continue to report high rates of burnout and are leaving the profession at alarming rates due to unsustainable working conditions; and

Whereas, Many healthcare facilities across Michigan, particularly in rural communities, are struggling to recruit and retain qualified nurses, threatening access to safe care for residents throughout the state; and

Whereas, Michigan is committed to supporting and uplifting the nursing profession to ensure nurses have the tools and support they need to provide high-quality care; and

Whereas, National Nurses Week provides a meaningful opportunity to recognize and celebrate the work of nurses, reflect on the vital importance of their contributions, and renew our collective commitment to advancing the health of all Michiganders through a strong nursing workforce; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 6-12, 2025, as National Nurses Week in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Tsernoglou, Wooden, Herzberg, Glanville, Liberati, Morgan, Byrnes, Pohutsky, Dievendorf, Miller, Paiz, Andrews, Brenda Carter, McKinney, Martus, Neeley, O’Neal, Hope, MacDonell, Skaggs, Young, Wilson, Koleszar, Wegela, Steckloff, McFall, Breen, Rheingans, Tyrone Carter, Coffia, Longjohn, Brixie, Price, Mentzer, Conlin, Foreman, Xiong, Fitzgerald, Puri, Weiss and Myers-Phillips offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 89.

A resolution to affirm the constitutional right of the people of Michigan to propose amendments to the Michigan Constitution and to approve or reject those amendments, including constitutional amendments that impact federal elections, such as Proposal 3 of 2018 and Proposal 2 of 2022.

Whereas, The Michigan Constitution establishes multiple mechanisms by which the people may participate in direct democracy, becoming directly involved in the proposal and adoption of our laws, including amendments to our constitution. Article XII, Section 2 of the Michigan Constitution expressly empowers the registered voters of this state to propose amendments to the state constitution by petition, and it provides for such a proposed amendment to become part of the state constitution if it is approved by a majority of the voters voting on the question; and

Whereas, The people of Michigan exercised their constitutional rights when they proposed and subsequently approved Proposal 3 of 2018 and Proposal 2 of 2022. Each of these proposals amended the state constitution with regard to elections and was further codified in statute by the Legislature. As amended, the Michigan Constitution provides that United States citizens who are qualified voters have the right to be automatically registered to vote as a result of conducting business with the Secretary of State regarding a driver’s license or personal identification card, as well as the right to register to vote in person on election day, with proof of residency. Registered voters have the right to no-reason absentee voting, the right to request placement on the permanent absentee ballot list, the right to vote in person at an early voting site prior to election day, and the right to prove their identity when voting in person or applying for an absentee ballot in person using various forms of photo identification or, if they do not have photo identification or do not have it with them, to execute an affidavit verifying their identity. Those serving in the military or living overseas also have the right to have their absentee ballot counted if it was postmarked on or before election day and received within six days following the election. These and other rights were enshrined in our constitution as a direct expression of the will of the people; and

Whereas, Several individual legislators are seeking to subvert that will by asking the federal courts to overturn the passage of Proposal 3 of 2018 and Proposal 2 of 2022. In the case Lindsey v. Whitmer, certain legislators are arguing that, under the Elections Clause of the Constitution of the United States, only state legislatures and Congress may regulate the election of Senators and Representatives in Congress, such that the use of the citizen-initiated constitutional amendment process under Article XII, Section 2 of the Michigan Constitution to regulate the times, places, and manner of federal elections without the involvement of the Michigan Legislature is unconstitutional. These legislators would have the court invalidate Proposal 3 of 2018 and Proposal 2 of 2022, and they seek to prevent the use of this process for any future constitutional amendments that would regulate federal elections. The legislators are continuing to pursue this case, having filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States on March 20, 2025. If successful, these legislators would silence the direct voice of the people and nullify the right of the people to propose and ratify constitutional amendments guaranteed by the Michigan Constitution; and

Whereas, On March 25, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order entitled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.” This order attempts to restrict voter registration in several ways. First, it directs the United States Election Assistance Commission to require documentary proof of United States citizenship with its national mail voter registration form, and similarly directs the United States Secretary of Defense to update the federal post card application to include such a requirement. It also requires federal voter registration agencies to assess the citizenship of public assistance program enrollees before providing a federal voter registration form and prohibits federal agencies from continuing to implement an executive order issued by the Biden Administration, which generally directed federal agencies to expand opportunities to register to vote and cast a ballot. The order threatens to withhold federal funds for election administration from states that do not comply with federal voting laws, including the requirement to accept the federal mail voter registration form; and

Whereas, The Trump Administration’s executive order on “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections” also attempts to regulate the conduct of elections. It directs the Election Assistance Commission to review and, if appropriate, to amend the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines to incorporate certain requirements and rescind all previous certifications of voting equipment under the prior standards, which may impose costly new requirements in states that require compliance with these guidelines. Furthermore, the executive order interprets the federal statutes establishing election day to mean that no ballots cast for federal office received after election day should be counted. As such, the order instructs the Attorney General to “enforce” these laws against states that “violate these provisions” by including absentee ballots received after election day in the final tabulation of votes for federal offices. Again, the order threatens to withhold funding from states that do not comply by establishing a ballot receipt deadline of election day for all methods of voting, excluding ballots cast in accordance with the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act; and

Whereas, This executive order is in serious tension with Proposal 3 of 2018 and Proposal 2 of 2022, which were overwhelmingly approved by the people of the state of Michigan, and seems to go beyond the power of the President to execute the law. The Elections Clause of the Constitution of the United States gives the power to regulate the times, places, and manner of federal elections to Congress and the states, not to the President. Indeed, no such constitutional or statutory authority rests with the President of the United States; and

Whereas, The Lindsey v. Whitmer lawsuit and the March 2025 executive order are not the only threats to voting rights in Michigan. In our state, House Joint Resolution B of 2025 would amend the Michigan Constitution to require United States citizenship to be verified when an individual registers to vote and require photo identification in order to vote. At the federal level, the SAVE Act would similarly require documentary proof of United States citizenship when an individual registers to vote, or other evidence of citizenship if determined sufficient by state or local election officials; and

Whereas, House Joint Resolution B, the federal SAVE Act, and President Trump’s executive order all seek to impose additional burdens on voters by requiring expensive and often difficult to obtain citizenship documentation. Findings from the Center for Democracy and Civic Engagement at the University of Maryland show that over nine percent of voting-age citizens either do not have or could not easily access a U.S. birth certificate, a U.S. passport, a U.S. Naturalization Certificate, or a U.S. Certificate of Citizenship. Obtaining a certified copy of a birth certificate in Michigan can cost upwards of 34 dollars, and a U.S. passport can cost upwards of 130 dollars. The imposition of financial burdens and inefficient election processes is the antithesis of the voter-proposed and voter-approved constitutional amendments to make registering to vote and casting a vote more accessible in Michigan; and

Whereas, Michigan’s elections are safe and secure. Following the allegations of fraud in the 2020 election, more than 250 election audits were conducted in this state, which included participation by more than 1,300 clerks identifying as Republican, Democratic, and nonpartisan alongside Bureau of Elections staff. There were no findings of widespread fraud by election officials, nor was there proof that the election was stolen. The Republican-led Michigan Senate also conducted an oversight investigation that debunked the “Big Lie” theories of fraud in the 2020 election. In 2024, Michigan was ranked second in the nation for election administration using the Elections Performance Index calculated by the MIT Election Data and Science Lab, a significant increase over the state’s prior rankings of thirty-first in 2018 and seventh in 2020; and

Whereas, As demonstrated by the approval of Proposal 3 of 2018 and Proposal 2 of 2022, the people of Michigan have faith in our election system. The voters who ratified these amendments understand that increasing access to elections only strengthens participation and security, and that it is essential to advancing the fundamental right to free and fair elections; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we affirm the constitutional right of the people of Michigan to propose amendments to the Michigan Constitution and to approve or reject those amendments, including constitutional amendments that impact federal elections, such as Proposal 3 of 2018 and Proposal 2 of 2022; and be it further

Resolved, That we commit to the continued implementation and enforcement of Proposal 3 of 2018 and Proposal 2 of 2022; and be it further

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

Reps. McFall, Brixie, Weiss, Andrews, Martus, Hope, Brenda Carter, Rheingans, Foreman, MacDonell, Tsernoglou, Young, Pohutsky, Steckloff, Mentzer, Conlin, Wegela, McKinney, Longjohn, Dievendorf, Price, Wilson, Byrnes, Myers-Phillips, Paiz, Tyrone Carter, Snyder, Breen, Wooden, Tate, Glanville and Rogers offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 90.

A resolution to urge the President, United States Congress, and the National Labor Relations Board to enact policies banning employers from permanently replacing striking employees.

Whereas, The right to organize and strike is essential to labor rights and the protection of workers in the United States. Without these rights, employees would have little recourse against unfair treatment by their employers; and

Whereas, The right to organize and strike requires that workers are protected against being replaced during a strike. Allowing employers to replace striking workers tips the balance significantly in the favor of employers during negotiations; and

Whereas, In 2016, the National Labor Relations Board affirmed that employers do not have the unrestricted right to permanently replace workers during a strike. In their 2016 decision, the board made clear that employers cannot replace employees as a way to punish them or prevent future strikes. However, striking workers can still be replaced to ensure continuous operations; and

Whereas, Despite the existence of some legal protections, striking workers remain vulnerable without further laws and policies to ensure they will not be permanently replaced. In December 2021, for example, the Kellogg Company announced that it would permanently replace 1,400 striking employees after the union rejected an agreement to end the strike. Although the employees eventually approved a new collective bargaining agreement, such threats by Kellogg’s significantly hindered their ability to reach a fair deal; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the President, United States Congress, and the National Labor Relations Board to enact policies banning employers from permanently replacing striking employees; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and the Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board.

Reps. Prestin, Fairbairn, Markkanen, Roth and Borton offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 91.

A resolution to support President Trump’s policies to increase the nation’s energy infrastructure and security, which have facilitated emergency permitting for the Enbridge Line 5 project.

Whereas, The Enbridge Line 5 pipeline is critical for meeting Michigan’s energy needs. It delivers crude oil and natural gas liquids across 645 miles from northern Wisconsin, through the Great Lakes, across both peninsulas of Michigan, and to Ontario. According to Enbridge, Line 5 supplies sixty-five percent of the propane demand in the Upper Peninsula and fifty-five percent of Michigan’s statewide propane needs; and

Whereas, A segment of Line 5 has run under the Straits of Mackinac since 1953. This segment uses “dual” or “twin” pipes to deliver oil and propane throughout Michigan, thus preventing the need to use truckloads and rail cars to move these necessary resources across our state; and

Whereas, Enbridge has proposed building a tunnel underneath the bed of the Straits of Mackinac which would contain a new pipeline to deliver oil and liquified natural gas, replacing the current twin pipeline; and

Whereas, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has filed two lawsuits seeking to shut down Line 5 and its proposed tunnel by voiding the easement, in place since 1953, that allows Enbridge to operate the pipeline under the Straits of Mackinac; and

Whereas, On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order, entitled Declaring a National Energy Emergency, which seeks to expand the nation’s energy infrastructure in order to meet our pressing energy needs. Critically, the executive order directs federal agencies to exercise their lawful emergency authorities to “expedite the completion of all authorized and appropriated infrastructure, energy, environmental, and natural resources projects”; and

Whereas, In response to the executive order, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has designated projects eligible to receive an emergency permit under the order, and has included Enbridge’s Line 5 tunnel project, among others; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we support President Trump’s policies to increase the nation’s energy infrastructure and security, which have facilitated emergency permitting for the Enbridge Line 5 project; and be it further

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

The resolution was referred to Committee on Natural Resources and Tourism.
