Substitute for House Resolution No. 227.

A resolution to reaffirm the right of Michigan residents to keep and bear arms under the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 and the Constitution of the United States .

Whereas, Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 clearly affirms a right to keep and bear arms. This provision prescribes that the primary purpose of the right to keep and bear arms is not related solely to hunting, but undoubtedly allows Michigan citizens to be able to protect their selves and families from the private lawlessness of other persons or potential tyranny of governments; and

Whereas, The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States clearly states that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” But the right to keep and bear arms entails responsible gun ownership, including universal background checks for all gun purchasers, mandatory trigger locks and/or gun safes in all houses where children under 18 reside, and the right to remove guns from individuals with an extreme “red flag” personal protection order filed against them; and

Whereas, The Michigan Legislature will not pass laws that would infringe upon the ability of Michigan residents to own and keep firearms, except as provided for in this resolution. The Michigan Legislature will ensure that legislation in violation of our constitutional right to bear arms will not be imposed upon the citizens of Michigan by either the federal government or itself and would view such infringements as violations of both the Second Amendment and the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 ; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we reaffirm the right of Michigan residents to keep and bear arms under the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 and the Constitution of the United States .

The motion did not prevail and the substitute (H-4) was not adopted, a majority of the members serving not voting therefor.

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

Substitute for House Resolution No. 233.

A resolution to declare February 26, 2020, as Black Farmers Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Since the antebellum period, black farmers in Michigan have fought continuously to acquire self-determination of their lives, and that of their families, through the attainment, retention and cultivation of farmland; and

Whereas, By 1920, almost one million, or 14.3%, of the nation’s farmers were black and they owned nearly 16 million acres of farmland; and

Whereas, By 1997, the number of the nation’s black farmers hit an all-time low when the census revealed that only 18,541 were left and they comprised only 1% of the total number of farmers in the country; and

Whereas, The huge number of economic and racially-discriminatory obstacles placed in their paths, including the untimely delivery of operating loans, insufficient information about program availability, and racist treatment in many United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) offices, has resulted in the declination of their numbers at a rate nearly three times that of white farmers and the loss of more than 50% of black-owned farmland since 1910; and

Whereas, A collaborative, grassroots efforts of black farmers, their families, legal teams, and social justice organizations finally sued the USDA for their racially discriminatory policies and practices, and enjoyed victory in 1997 when they received over $1 billion in damages after winning the class-action lawsuit Timothy Pigford et al., v Dan Glickman , resulting in what was then the largest class-action civil rights settlement in the history of the country; and

Whereas, During the 10 years it took to complete this lawsuit, many black farmers lost their land, homes, livelihood, health, and hope in their government, which has had a devastating and negative impact on; and

Whereas, When the loss of farmland became more noticeable, black farmers and civil rights activists initiated action to stave the land loss by acquiring land to farm collectively as a means of reducing food insecurity in black communities, striving toward food sovereignty, controlling the means of production and distribution of food, and furthering the economic development of blacks; and

Whereas, There has been a resurgence of black farmers in Michigan. A 2018 report showed that since 2002, the number of black farm operators had increased from 243 to 356, accounting for 0.5% of the farm operators in Michigan; and

Whereas, Michigan’s rural black farmers have worked closely with black urban growers to establish farms in cities like Detroit and Flint and are united around the common issues of food sovereignty and self-empowerment through food production; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 26, 2020, as Black Farmers Awareness Day in the state of Michigan. We recognize the trials, tribulations and accomplishments of Michigan’s black farmers and urge the citizenry to learn more about the richness of their history and the fight to attain food security and food sovereignty in Michigan’s underserved communities.

Whereas, Public education is the foundation of a 21st-century democracy; and

Whereas, The nation’s public schools are where students come to be educated as citizens of the United States; and

Whereas, Each public school prepares the nation’s young people to contribute to the society, economy, and citizenry of the country; and

Whereas, Ninety percent of American children attend public schools; and

Whereas, Local, state, and federal lawmakers should prioritize support for strengthening the nation’s public schools and empower local education leaders to implement, manage, and lead school districts in partnership with educators, parents, and other local education stakeholders and learning communities; and

Whereas, Local, state, and federal lawmakers should support such necessities as counseling, extracurricular activities, and mental health supports that are critical to help students engage in learning; and

Whereas, Inclusive and safe high-quality public schools are where children learn to think critically, problem solve, and build relationships; and

Whereas, Public schools should provide an environment where all students can succeed beginning in their earliest years, regardless of who they are or where they live; and

Whereas, Efforts should be supported to advance equity and excellence in public education and to implement continuous improvement and evidence-based practices; and

Whereas, Every child has the right to an education that helps them reach their full potential and to attend schools that offer a high-quality educational experience; and

Whereas, Stable, equitable, predictable, and adequate funding for great public schools for every student in America is necessary to ensure that students have inviting classrooms and school libraries with up-to-date resources as well as well-prepared and supported educators; and

Whereas, Educators include teachers, paraprofessionals, and principals who provide a well-rounded and complete curriculum and create joy in learning; and

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

Substitute for House Resolution No. 237.

A resolution to declare March 2020 as Independent Workers Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, In recent years, independent workers (the gig workers, freelancers, temporary workers, and self-employed) have played an ever-larger role in the prosperity of the state of Michigan and the country overall; and

Whereas, The increase in work arrangements outside of the traditional employment model has allowed people with busy or unpredictable schedules to choose the hours when they want to work. This flexibility allows some to participate in the workforce who would not be able to accept traditional employment. In addition, independent work can help households quickly overcome a financial emergency without going into debt or taking on a long-term commitment; and

Whereas, Acting as their own bosses, independent workers enhance their entrepreneurial abilities and practice the self-reliance and independence that are core American values. Independent work enables individuals to experience more variety in their careers and explore new interests while expanding their marketable skill sets; and

Whereas, The independent style of work can also allow more time for civic engagement. In a recent study, independent workers are 19 points more politically active compared to workers in conventional full-time positions; and

Whereas, In 2018, independent workers generated over $1.2 trillion to the U.S. economy. As leading innovators and adapters to the changing labor landscape, independent workers have facilitated necessary change and growth specifically within the state of Michigan by both diversifying the economy and providing existing industries with access to their expertise due to their agile work style. This profession may indeed take pride in its contributions to this strong Michigan economy; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2020 as Independent Workers Month in the state of Michigan. We honor independent workers, extend sincere best wishes to them for continued success, and pledge to pursue solutions to promote and protect their unique and valuable style of work.

Substitute for House Resolution No. 238.

A resolution to declare March 2020 as Social Work Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The social work profession for generations has worked to strengthen the well-being and meet the basic needs of all people, especially people who are vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty; and

Whereas, This year’s Social Work Month theme, “Social Workers: Generations Strong” embodies the heroic work of social workers who for more than a century have worked to make our society a better place to live; and

Whereas, The social work profession is a diverse profession that allows people of various generations, ethnicities, and religious backgrounds to make an immediate positive impact on our nation and world; and

Whereas, The social work profession is one of the fastest growing professions in the United States, with more than 777,000 people expected to be employed as social workers by 2028; and

Whereas, Social workers are the largest group of mental health care providers in the United States and work daily to help people overcome substance use disorders and mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder; and

Whereas, Social workers work in all parts of our society to meet people where they are and empower them to live to their fullest potential; and

Whereas, The social work profession, more than many other professions, has expansive boundaries that allow social workers to work in a variety of settings, including schools, centers for veterans, the military, hospitals and mental health centers, corporations, and local, state, and federal government; and

Whereas, Social workers for generations have worked with other professions, community groups, lawmakers, civil rights and other organizations to bring equal rights for all; and

Whereas, The social work profession has been in the forefront of pushing for changes that have made our society a better place to live, including a minimum wage, improved workplace safety, and social safety net programs that help ameliorate poverty and hunger; and

Whereas, Social workers have been and continue to stand ready to help our nation in times of crisis, including war and natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2020 as Social Work Month in the state of Michigan. We recognize the numerous contributions made by social workers across this state and country and join in this celebration and support of the social work profession.
