Rep. Conlin moved to substitute (H-4) 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) House Bill No. 4289.

(b) House Bill No. 4290.

(c) House Bill No. 4291.

(2) By January 1 of each applicable fiscal year, the department shall publish a form for reporting actual costs incurred by a nonpublic school in complying with a health, safety, or welfare requirement mandated under state law containing each health, safety, or welfare requirement mandated by a law or administrative rule of this state applicable to a nonpublic school and with a reference to each relevant provision of law or administrative rule for the requirement. The form must be posted on the department’s website in electronic form.

(3) By June 30 of each applicable fiscal year, a nonpublic school seeking reimbursement for actual costs incurred in complying with a health, safety, or welfare requirement under a law or administrative rule of this state during each applicable school year must submit a completed form described in subsection (2) to the department. This section does not require a nonpublic school to submit a form described in subsection (2).

(8) Funds allocated under this section are not intended to aid or maintain any nonpublic school, support the attendance of any student at a nonpublic school, employ any person at a nonpublic school, support the attendance of any student at any location where instruction is offered to a nonpublic school student, or support the employment of any person at any location where instruction is offered to a nonpublic school student.

The nonpublic school shall not charge more than the hourly wage of its lowest-paid employee capable of performing a specific task regardless of whether that individual is available and regardless of who actually performs a specific task. Labor costs under this subsection must be estimated and charged in increments of 15 minutes or more, with all partial time increments rounded down. When calculating costs under subsection (4), fee components must be itemized in a manner that expresses both the hourly wage and the number of hours charged.

A nonpublic school shall not charge any overtime wages in the calculation of labor costs.

(10) Training fees, inspection fees, and criminal background check fees are considered actual costs in complying with a health, safety, or welfare requirement under a law or administrative rule of this state.

(11) The funds allocated under this section for 2024-2025 are a work project appropriation, and any unexpended funds for 2024-2025 are carried forward into 2025-2026. The purpose of the work project is to continue to reimburse nonpublic schools for actual costs incurred in complying with a health, safety, or welfare requirement mandated by a law or administrative rule of this state. The estimated completion date of the work project is September 30, 2026.

The purpose of the work project is to continue to reimburse nonpublic schools for actual costs incurred in complying with a health, safety, or welfare requirement mandated by a law or administrative rule of this state.
