“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

Much like my no vote explanation for HB 4001, I have heard honest concerns surrounding the full implementation of the new earned sick-time law. I am ready to discuss a meaningful compromise that fixes these concerns while supporting small-business and workers. HB 4002 is not such a compromise. It is an effective gutting of the act.

By exempting all companies with fewer than 50 employees, this bill revokes the right to paid-sick leave to for 1.2 million Michigan workers. I am open to several provisions that have been discussed to streamline compliance with the law and balance the needs of workers and small businesses, I cannot support legislation that takes away access from over a million Michigan workers.

I supported several common-sense amendments that were offered to reach an appropriate balance between businesses and workers. Most notably, I supported the amendment offered by Representative Foreman, restoring this right to the 1.2 million workers. This amendment was not adopted. While I voted against the legislation, I am ready to find a meaningful compromise that supports both workers and businesses.”

Substitute for House Resolution No. 14.

A resolution to provide for a procedure for the required disclosures related to enhancement grants under Rule 52 of the Standing Rules of the House of Representatives.

Whereas, Rule 52 of the Standing Rules of the House of Representatives provides, “No appropriations bill containing enhancement grants shall be brought for a vote without proper disclosure of the sponsor and the intended recipient, and a description of the grant in a form and manner established by the House by resolution”; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the following procedure is adopted for the required disclosures related to enhancement grants under Rule 52 of the Standing Rules of the House of Representatives:

(1) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, for a legislatively directed spending item to be considered for inclusion in a bill or conference report passed by the House during a calendar year, all of the following must be made publicly available on the internet by April 1 of the same calendar year and for not less than 14 days prior to passage of a bill or conference report. For the 2025 calendar year, all of the following must be made publicly available on the internet by May 1, 2025, and for not less than 14 days prior to passage of a bill or conference report:

(a) The sponsoring legislator’s name, and if applicable, any co-sponsoring legislators.

(b) The name and location of the intended recipient and the impacted legislative district or, if there is not a specific intended recipient, the intended location of the project or activity, including legislative district and legislator.

(c) The purpose of the legislatively directed spending item and an explanation of how the legislatively directed spending item provides a public benefit and why the item is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds or to otherwise demonstrate that the item is not for a local or private purpose pursuant to Article IV, § 30 of the Michigan Constitution.

(d) The requested amount of state funding for the legislatively directed spending item and whether the legislatively directed spending item has previously received federal, state, local, or private funding. The type of funding previously received must be clearly specified.

(e) If the recipient of the legislatively directed spending item is a not-for-profit entity, verification of the following information:

( i ) That the entity has been operating within the state for the previous 36 consecutive months.

( ii ) That the entity has had a physical office within the state for the previous 12 consecutive months.

( iii ) That the entity has a board of directors and a list of all officers and active directors on the entity’s board.

( iv ) That the entity is not a for-profit entity.

(f) A certification that neither the sponsoring legislator nor the sponsoring legislator’s staff or immediate family has a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in the legislatively directed spending item.

(g) Information on the required project timing of the proposed legislatively directed spending item.

(2) The sponsoring legislator must provide a written statement containing the information required under subsection (1) on a form and in a manner determined by the House. The written statement must be provided to the Chair and Members of the House of Representatives Appropriations Committee, the House Fiscal Agency, and the House Business Office.

(3) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, a legislator wishing to co-sponsor a legislatively directed spending item may, with the sponsoring legislator’s permission, add or remove their name as a co-sponsor through April 1 of each calendar year. For the 2025 calendar year, legislators wishing to co-sponsor a legislatively directed spending item may, with the sponsoring legislator’s permission, add or remove their name as a co-sponsor through May 1, 2025. Co-sponsorship of a legislatively directed spending item must be completed by submitting the following letters to the House Business Office:

(a) A signed letter from the sponsor of the legislatively directed spending item granting the legislator wishing to co-sponsor permission to co-sponsor.

(b) A letter from the legislator wishing to co-sponsor stating their intention to co-sponsor the legislatively directed spending item.

(4) The House must develop a webpage on the House of Representatives’ official website where each fully completed written statement received under subsection (1) shall be conspicuously available to the public. After development of the webpage, each fully completed written statement shall be made available within three business days after the later of the creation of the webpage or the original receipt of the fully completed written statement.

(5) A for-profit business is not eligible to receive a legislatively directed spending item.

(6) As used in this section:

(a) “Immediate family” means an individual’s parent, child, sibling, and spouse, and any individual residing in the same household as that individual.

(b) “Legislatively directed spending item” means an appropriation that authorizes or obligates a specific amount of money for a contract or other expenditure with a grant, loan, or other economic assistance or incentive to a specific person, organization, unit of local government, or project or activity in a unit of local government, other than through a formula-driven or competitive award process.

(c) “Staff” means an individual who either is currently or within the past two years has been employed by either house of the Michigan Legislature.

(d) “Legislator” means a duly elected individual serving in the Michigan House of Representatives; and be it further

House Resolution No. 41.

A resolution to direct the Clerk of the House of Representatives to only present to the Governor enrolled House bills finally passed by both houses of the One Hundred Third Legislature.

Whereas, Article IV, Section 13 of the Michigan Constitution states, in part, that “The legislature shall meet at the seat of government on the second Wednesday in January of each year at twelve o’clock noon. Each regular session shall adjourn without day, on a day determined by concurrent resolution, at twelve o’clock noon”; and

Whereas, The second regular session of the One Hundred Second Legislature adjourned for the last time on January 1, 2025; and

Whereas, Pursuant to the requirements of Article IV, Section 13 of the Michigan Constitution, the Representatives-elect to the House of Representatives for the One Hundred Third Legislature assembled in Representative Hall in the Capitol at Lansing on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, at 12 o’clock noon for the purpose of taking and subscribing to the constitutional oath of office and organizing and proceeding with the business of the first regular session of the One Hundred Third Legislature; and

Whereas, Article IV, Section 13 of the Michigan Constitution also states that “Any business, bill or joint resolution pending at the final adjournment of a regular session held in an odd numbered year shall carry over with the same status to the next regular session”; and

Whereas, The implication of this final sentence of Article IV, Section 13 of the Michigan Constitution is that any business pending at the final adjournment of a regular session held in an even-numbered year does not carry over to the next regular session of a new Legislature; and

Whereas, The business of a Legislature includes the presentation to the Governor of enrolled bills that have passed both houses of that Legislature; and

Whereas, The business of the One Hundred Second Legislature pending at the final adjournment of that Legislature on January 1, 2025, did not carry over to the first regular session of the One Hundred Third Legislature; and

Whereas, Until the House of Representatives for the One Hundred Third Legislature was organized, under Section 4 of 1877 PA 67, MCL 4.44, it was the duty of the Clerk of the House of Representatives for the preceding House of Representatives, being the House of Representatives of the One Hundred Second Legislature, to “call to order and preside over the house until a speaker, or speaker pro tempore, is elected,” and to “act as clerk of the house until his successor is elected”; and

Whereas, By unanimously adopting House Resolution 3 of 2025 on January 8, 2025, the House of Representatives elected Scott E. Starr to the office of Clerk of the House of Representatives for the One Hundred Third Legislature, ending the duties of the Clerk of the House of Representatives for the One Hundred Second Legislature; and

Whereas, Article IV, Section 16 of the Michigan Constitution provides, in part, that “Each house . . . shall choose its own officers and determine the rules of its proceedings”; and

Whereas, By adopting House Resolution 1 of 2025 on January 8, 2025, the House of Representatives prescribed the Standing Rules of the House of Representatives for the One Hundred Third Legislature , in accordance with Article IV, Section 16 of the Michigan Constitution; and

Whereas, In the One Hundred Third Legislature, the House of Representatives and the Senate have not adopted any joint rules; and

Rep. Xiong moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:

Substitute for House Resolution No. 40.

A resolution to strongly encourage the Michigan High School Athletic Association to continue to align its eligibility rules for high school athletes with the goal of preserving the integrity of competition and the safety of all athletes equally.

Whereas, The Michigan High School Athletic Association is a private, not-for-profit corporation of voluntary membership by over 1,500 public and private senior high schools and junior high schools which exists to develop common rules for athletic eligibility and competition. No government funds or tax dollars support the Michigan High School Athletic Association, which was the first such association nationally to not accept membership dues or tournament entry fees from schools; and

Whereas, President Trump issued Executive Order 14201 which states that it is the policy of the United States to oppose male competitive participation in women’s athletics. Executive Order 14201 further states that Title IX enforcement actions shall be prioritized against educational institutions and athletic associations that require female students to compete with or against men. The Michigan High School Athletic Association is currently reviewing Executive Order 14201 which is confusing, supported only by questionable science, and is being challenged in federal court as unconstitutional; and

Whereas, All lives have value and all Michiganders are deserving of support and continued protection from discrimination in employment; housing; public accommodations; public service; and educational facilities, services, activities and programs. The unilateral executive action attempting to defund participating members of the Michigan High School Athletic Association would put student athletes at risk of irreparable harm; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we strongly encourage the Michigan High School Athletic Association to continue to align its eligibility rules for high school athletes with the goal of preserving the integrity of competition and the safety of all athletes equally; 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 pro tempore of the United States Senate, and the Executive Director of the Michigan High School Athletic Association.
