Pastor Josh
Zoerhof, Teaching & Chaplaincy Pastor of Ridge Point Church in Holland,
offered the following invocation:
“Gracious God,
We pause at the
beginning of this session with hearts of gratitude—for the gift of life, for
the privilege of living in this great state, and for the call to serve the
people of Michigan.
Grant wisdom and
clarity to each leader gathered here. Strengthen them with courage to make
decisions that honor the common good, with humility to listen well, and with
compassion to consider those whose voices are often unheard.
We ask for unity of
spirit even amid differences, that respect and integrity would guide every word
and action. May gratitude, justice, and hope be the hallmarks of this
assembly’s work.
Bless their
families, their communities, and the citizens they represent. May this chamber
be filled with wisdom, service, and peace today.
Amen.”

Motions and
Resolutions
Reps. Meerman,
Longjohn, Miller, Paiz, Paquette, Rheingans, Rigas and Witwer offered the
following resolution:
House Resolution
No. 165.
Whereas, Fetal
Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) are a group of lifelong, brain- and
body-based developmental disabilities resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure,
affecting behavior, learning, and health across the lifespan; and
Whereas, FASD is a
lifelong developmental disability that requires coordinated,
neurodiversity-affirming support in schools, health care, behavioral health,
employment, housing, and the justice system; and
Whereas, National
research indicates that up to 1 in 20 U.S. school-aged children may have an
FASD, underscoring the magnitude of this public-health issue and the need for
early identification and appropriate supports; and
Whereas,
Organizations in Michigan have taken steps to address FASD – including the
Children’s FASD System of Care operating within community mental health systems
in Genesee, Macomb, Muskegon, Oakland, and Ottawa counties, and providing
statewide training efforts reaching child-welfare, substance-use,
juvenile-justice, education, medical, and community partners; and
Whereas, People
across Michigan and the United States observe FASD Awareness Month each
September and FASD Awareness Day on September 9 (the ninth day of the ninth
month, symbolizing a healthy, alcohol-free nine-month pregnancy), an observance
recognized in Michigan in previous years; and
Whereas, Michigan
families affected by FASD frequently encounter fragmented services,
under-diagnosis, and misdiagnosis, resulting in preventable school disruptions,
family stress, and costly crisis responses; and
Whereas, National
studies show substantial under-identification of FASD in schools and clinics;
and
Whereas, Children
with FASD are disproportionately represented in child-welfare and foster-care
settings nationwide. This is reflected by a recent scoping review estimating
about 18.8% of children in foster care have an FASD, and other U.S. research in
child-welfare population reported 25-28% with FASD, however, Michigan’s
administrative datasets (e.g., AFCARS/NCANDS) do not currently report statewide
counts of children with FASD; and
Whereas, The
Michigan Department of Health and Human Services provides public education on
FASD and emphasizes that FASD is 100% preventable if alcohol is not consumed
during pregnancy; and
Whereas, Public
awareness campaigns-especially during September-that clearly communicate there
is no known safe amount of alcohol during pregnancy and that emphasis on
compassionate, family-centered support help inform citizens about FASD; and
Whereas,
Prevention, early screening, and appropriate accommodations markedly improve
outcomes; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the
House of Representatives, That members of the legislative body declare
September 2025 as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Awareness Month and
September 9, 2025, as FASD Awareness Day in the state of Michigan; and, be it
further
Resolved, That
copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Department of Health
and Human Services, the Michigan Department of Education, the State Court
Administrative Office, and the Michigan FASD Task Force.
The question being
on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was
adopted.

Explanation of “No”
Votes
Rep.
Mentzer, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage
of House Bill No. 4218, made the following statement:
“Mr.
Speaker and members of the House:
I
am unable to vote for this amended version of HB 4218 on the grounds that I
find this to be a diluted, uncomprehensive version of the bill that could have
better served Michiganders by allowing mental health professionals and groups
to serve on the council while still addressing the conflicts of interest.”
Rep. Myers-Phillips, having reserved the right to explain
her protest against the passage of House Bill No. 4218, made the
following statement:
“Mr.
Speaker and members of the House:
I
support the State Recipient Rights Advisory Committee. I voted no because the
bill, as amended, removed the statutory participation of the ARC Michigan,
Disability Rights Michigan, and the Mental Health Association of Michigan.
These institutions are the pillars of care in our State, and I firmly believe
that Michigan residents, especially people and families of individuals with
disabilities, are best served by ensuring that these independent, educational,
and advocacy groups —solely dedicated to persons with disabilities —have a seat
at the table. These organizations are exemplary for their technical expertise,
the service, and the trust they have built in communities across Michigan over
the course of decades. Whether or not the House version passes the Senate, I
want to reiterate my unwavering commitment to working with all stakeholders.
Together, we can ensure Michigan has just and equitable policies to support and
protect the rights of Michiganders with disabilities.”

Rep.
Wooden, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of
the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr.
Speaker and members of the House:
While
I am very open and willing to support legislation that would provide greater
local control over the administration of ballot test decks, I am concerned this
bill, as written, would strip the Secretary’s ability to provide any form of
oversight. Maintaining the integrity of our elections demands we keep as many
checks and balances as possible. I am hopeful a compromise can be struck that
offers meaningful local control with reasonable oversight from the Secretary of
State’s office.”

accommodate canines was not clear, nor were the methods for sanitation of the
vehicle if the person being transferred after the use of a retired law
enforcement canine, has an allergy to canines. I support in theory.”
