“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

Today, I voted NO on House Bills 4340 and 4341, legislation which aims to prohibit services to Michigan’s undocumented persons.

To legislate to prohibit any person from having access to essential housing and social services – any human rights – is abhorrent and unnecessary. I was elected to office to represent everyone who lives in my district, House District 10 – doesn’t matter who they are, where they’re from, how they got there, if they live in a house or a car or on the street, whether they’re registered to vote or not. My duty is in service to all who live HD-10.”

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

Substitute for House Resolution No. 93.

A resolution to discourage all public bodies in the state of Michigan from adopting the term “Gulf of America” in place of “Gulf of Mexico” in all official communications, publications, and references, and to call upon the Governor, the Secretary of State, and the heads of all other state departments and agencies to, in collaboration with the Legislature, take immediate steps to address more pressing issues.

Whereas, The terms used in official government documents reflect our identity, priorities, and shared values. Public bodies, including departments, boards, commissions, offices, agencies, and other units of state government, have an obligation to serve the public interest and reflect the values of the people they represent; and

Whereas, The term “Gulf of Mexico” has historically been used to describe the ocean basin along the southeastern coast of the United States; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan should not begin using the name “Gulf of America” rather than the name “Gulf of Mexico” unless and until Congress officially acts to mandate such a change; and

Whereas, Legislative efforts to rename the “Gulf of Mexico” as the “Gulf of America” distract the members of this body from more serious concerns; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we discourage all public bodies in the state of Michigan – including departments, boards, commissions, offices, agencies, and other governmental units – from adopting the term “Gulf of America” in place of “Gulf of Mexico” in all official communications, publications, and references; and be it further

Resolved, That we call upon the Governor, the Secretary of State, and the heads of all other state departments and agencies to, in collaboration with the Legislature, take immediate steps to address the real issues facing Michiganders like protecting Michigan workers in the workplace, lowering the price of groceries, protecting access to health care and affordable medicine, improving birth outcomes, protecting retirement and Social Security benefits for Michigan’s seniors, making housing more affordable, and other more pressing issues; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor, the Secretary of State, and the director of each other state department for immediate consideration and action.

The motion did not prevail and the substitute (H-1) was not adopted, a majority of the members serving not voting therefor.


evidence_text:
Rep. Conlin moved to substitute (H-2) the resolution as follows:

Substitute for House Resolution No. 93.

A resolution to urge all public bodies in the state of Michigan to adopt the term “Gulf of America” in place of “Gulf of Mexico” in all official communications, publications, and references, and to call for immediate steps to implement this change by July 4, 2025.

Whereas, The terms used in official government documents reflect our identity, priorities, and shared values. Public bodies, including departments, boards, commissions, offices, agencies, and other units of state government, have an obligation to serve the public interest and reflect the values of the people they represent; and

Whereas, The term “Gulf of Mexico,” while historically used to describe the ocean basin along the southeastern coast of the United States, does not fully capture the deep and ongoing connection of the United States to this vital body of water. This inadequacy was recognized by the President of the United States in Executive Order No. 14,172, which directs that the “Gulf of Mexico” be officially renamed the “Gulf of America.” The executive order directs the Secretary of the Interior to take all appropriate actions to effectuate the renaming of the gulf and to update all applicable federal records, signaling a national commitment to restoring place names that reflect American heritage and values; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan should begin using the name “Gulf of America” rather than the name “Gulf of Mexico.” Aligning with federal terminology and naming directives promotes clarity, consistency, and coordination between state and federal agencies. Moreover, the adoption of the term “Gulf of America” in official communications affirms our American identity and reinforces our cultural and geographical ties to the region; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge all public bodies in the state of Michigan – including departments, boards, commissions, offices, agencies, and other governmental units – to adopt the term “Gulf of America” in place of “Gulf of Mexico” in all official communications, publications, and references by no later than July 4, 2025; and be it further

Resolved, That we call upon the Governor, the Secretary of State, and the heads of all other state departments and agencies to take immediate administrative steps to begin implementing this change and ensure consistent usage across all state documents and platforms; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor, the Secretary of State, and the director of each other state department for immediate consideration and action; and be it further

Resolved, That this resolution does not take effect unless the following bills of the 103rd Legislature are enacted into law:

(a) Senate Bill No. 3.

(b) Senate Bill No. 4.

(c) Senate Bill No. 5.

The motion did not prevail and the substitute (H-2) was not adopted, a majority of the members serving not voting therefor.
