“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I would like to point that despite have numerous members who wanted to speak to this package of bills, the majority limited the minority party to one speech despite the importance of this legislation. Additionally, it is my belief and understanding that this legislation is bad for the state of Michigan, women, and children, and that can be seen in the number of nations who have outlawed the practice of paid surrogacy.”
Rep. St. Germaine, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Surrogacy is already legal in Michigan. I am not opposed to surrogacy itself.
However, the surrogacy package did not include any safeguards for the exploitation of low-income women.”
Rep. Schmaltz, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Surrogacy is already legal in Michigan, and it has brought joy to many couples. My opposition to these bills is not to surrogacy itself. Our current laws recognize that surrogate mothers and the babies they carry need safeguards to protect them from exploitation. Our law helps provide those safeguards by banning compensated surrogacy and the legally binding contracts that come with it. I cannot in good conscience vote for legislation the removes those protections.”

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Transparency is the cornerstone of a robust democracy, and our constituents deserve to know that their elected officials have their best interests at heart.
Residents across the state overwhelmingly passed Proposal 1 in 2022 to demand better transparency and financial disclosure from their elected officials. Last night’s vote on Senate Bills 613 through 616 fell short of implementing the will of the people. These bills include serious loopholes that allow elected officials and their spouses to cheat the system and hide wrongdoing.
I understand why some of my colleagues voted yes on this legislation, as this legislation is certainly better than the status quo. However, I voted no because I firmly believe that we will only get better results from our elected officials if we have the courage to stand up for what is right.
This package of bills focuses on elected officers and candidates for state offices. In Michigan, when an individual is married, their assets are jointly held with their spouse unless a prenuptial agreement or other legal asset separation agreement was in place at the time of the marriage. Therefore, all assets, investments, properties, businesses, and other financial items in a spouse’s name also benefit the official and candidate and should be disclosed.
Unfortunately, despite amendments offered by a bipartisan list of legislators to fix this egregious loophole, the bill did not contain those stronger measures when a vote was ordered on SB614. Every single amendment was gaveled down without being given a legitimate vote.
I am proud to stand up for true disclosure and transparency in a place where that is not always popular. The people of this state deserve better, and I will continue to work with my colleagues to advocate for stronger language that brings adequate transparency to our government.”
Rep. Aiyash moved that Senate Bill No. 614 be placed on its immediate passage.

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted against SB 388 because I felt the bill had been given inadequate deliberation in the House of Representatives. I was unable to hear from the bill sponsor why this change was necessary. Neither the provided bill analysis nor supporters of the bill could point to instances where this bill would have resolved an issue. Further, they did not provided evidence that harm would be caused without the change mandated by this bill. Without such evidence or further deliberation, I did not feel it appropriate to vote for this legislation at this time.”

Whereas, The Michigan House of Representatives is known as “the people’s house.” It is the legislative chamber that is closest to the people of this state, and the members elected to and serving therein are the voice of those people; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan is a beautifully diverse state. Michigan and its people are so vibrant because of, not in spite of, the different identities, backgrounds, and cultures of the people who call our state home; and
Whereas, The promotion and espousal of racist, xenophobic, white supremacist, anti-Semitic, and Islamophobic language, regardless of the source or form, is a vile stain on our society. Such language and images often draw on stereotypes and conspiracy theories that do not reflect the reality of the world or its people. Such discourse has been used to incite and justify deadly violence against individuals and communities of color; and
Whereas, We rightly hold elected officials to a higher standard in matters of discourse. The language of leadership carries a greater weight with the general public than that coming from peers. When a person in a position of authority spreads words and images designed to foment hate and division, it sends a signal that those words and images are acceptable for use in the marketplace of ideas; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we denounce the espousal of racist, xenophobic, white supremacist, anti-Semitic, and Islamophobic language, theories, and images, as they do not belong in societal discourse and serve only to stoke fear, hatred, and division, ideas antithetical to the functioning of “the people’s house”; and be it further
Resolved, That such language, theories, and images being posted, reposted, or otherwise shared by members of the Michigan House of Representatives represents a failure of decorum and a dereliction of each member’s duty both as the voice of a diverse group of people and as a keeper of the public trust; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to every member of the Michigan House of Representatives.

Whereas, Michigan’s school-based and school-linked health centers (also known as child and adolescent health centers) have been delivering comprehensive primary healthcare, mental healthcare, and prevention services for over 30 years; and
Whereas, There are over 300 school-based and school-linked health centers and programs in the state of Michigan delivering a range of primary, preventive, early intervention, and mental health services to children and youth of all grade levels in urban, rural, and suburban schools across the state; and
Whereas, Children and youth served by school-based and school-linked health centers show improved rates of school attendance, enhanced scores on standardized tests, less absenteeism due to illness, and increased immunization rates, while having their wellness and healthcare needs addressed; and
Whereas, School-Based Health Care Awareness Month is a time to acknowledge the commitment and passion that school-based health center staff and parent/guardians show for all Michigan children and youth; and
Whereas, We also recognize the critical role these individuals play in improving the health and well-being of all Michigan children; now, therefore, be it

Whereas, Texas, as one of the United States, possesses inherent rights to self-governance and sovereignty. Texas has exercised these rights throughout its long history of defending its borders and preserving its unique American heritage; and
Whereas, Recent federal actions, and inactions, have raised concerns about encroachments on Texas’ sovereignty, particularly in matters concerning border security and immigration enforcement. New Department of Homeland Security guidelines require the consideration of mitigating factors when deciding whether to remove aliens who have engaged in serious criminal conduct, and aliens are not considered a threat to border security if they unlawfully entered the United States before November 2020; and
Whereas, Texas has demonstrated a strong commitment to maintaining the integrity and security of its borders despite federal opposition. Texas has invested resources in mechanisms to deter unlawful entry into the United States, such as installing a floating barrier in the Rio Grande River that makes it more difficult to cross from Mexico into Texas and laying concertina wire along several sections of the riverbank. The federal government sued the state of Texas to prevent the use of the floating barrier, and Border Patrol agents have moved or cut portions of the concertina wire, allowing migrants to cross the river without interference. Texas is currently defending its actions to promote border security in court; and
Whereas, The people of Texas have the right to determine their own laws and policies in accordance with their values and priorities; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Governor of Michigan to express her full support for the Governor of Texas as he continues to fight for his state’s right to sovereignty and self-determination; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge the Governor of Michigan to stand in solidarity with the Governor of Texas in the defense of Texas’ inherent right to sovereignty and security; and be it further
Resolved, That we call on the federal government to reverse course and enforce federal immigration law while also respecting the sovereignty of Texas, and to refrain from any actions that infringe upon its rights to control its own borders and enforce its own laws.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
