Be with us today in this chamber as we seek to do the good work that has been entrusted to us by the people of Michigan.

Lord, bless each person here with clarity of purpose, steadiness of heart, and a spirit of service that uplifts every community across our great state.

May our debates be rooted in respect, our decisions shaped by compassion, and our actions guided always by a deep commitment to the common good.

God, we seek Your gentle and nurturing presence all throughout this world as we know so many are fearful for what the future may hold.

May You bless our leaders with the ability and foresight to allow peace to prevail.

Gracious God, look over our troops, may You keep them safe, and protect every living soul that faces violence today and every day.

We ask all this in Your name we pray, Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Pohutsky, McFall, Arbit, Weiss, Rheingans, Martus, Breen and Paiz offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 135.

A resolution to urge the United States Congress, the President of the United States, and the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services to take all necessary actions to support and ensure the provision of free and accessible COVID-19 vaccines for all.

Whereas, The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the deaths of over one million Americans and disrupted the lives, health, and economic well-being of millions more. As a response to the pandemic, safe and effective vaccines were developed and authorized by the Food and Drug Administration to combat COVID-19 and its variants, significantly reducing severe illness, hospitalizations, and deaths; and

Whereas, Widespread access to COVID-19 vaccines is essential for protecting public health, supporting economic recovery, and preventing future waves of infection. It is critical that COVID-19 vaccines remain free and accessible to every person in the United States, regardless of income, insurance status, or immigration status; and

Whereas, Despite the demonstrated benefits of vaccination, access remains unequal due to socioeconomic disparities, geographic challenges, and the expiration of federal funding that once guaranteed free vaccine availability. Additionally, public confidence in vaccines has been undermined by misinformation, placing individuals and communities at risk; and

Whereas, Elected officials and public figures bear a responsibility to promote public health, support science-based policies, and advocate for equitable access to medical resources, including vaccines. These individuals should support and advocate for universal vaccine access and refrain from promoting misinformation that undermines confidence in lifesaving public health measures. This is especially true of the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the United States Congress, the President of the United States, and the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services to take all necessary actions to support and ensure the provision of free and accessible COVID-19 vaccines for all; 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 Majority Leader of the United States Senate, and the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services.

The resolution was referred to Committee on Government Operations.

______

Rep. Myers-Phillips, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

My vote against HB 4367 is not a reflection of my support for our brave service members and their families. I fully acknowledge the tremendous sacrifice these families make, and support services and support of their families. I do not support this legislation because it is an unfunded mandate, and the total costs to implement this mandate area are undetermined. I do not support unfunded mandates for individual programs while neglecting to pass a complete budget for all kids and schools. Further, the revisions to the statute invite an increased military presence in our public schools. This could mean more frequent visits from military recruiters, more school assemblies focused on military service, or more field trips to military bases. Federal law requires public high schools to provide military recruiters access to our students. They can obtain a student’s name, address, phone number, and access unless a student or their parent has opted out. However, provisions such as state-sanctioned special recognition of military students and their families that is different from other students or allow U.S. armed services access to an indeterminate amount of volunteer opportunities, opportunities to speak at school assemblies, or opportunities to host field trips exceeds providing emotional support to the children of military families and instead sanctions an increased military presence for all students. While the bill may appear well-intentioned, there is room for improvement. A more narrowly crafted bill could address the concerns raised and provide a more balanced approach.”
