transgender girls from playing school sports. But let’s be honest: there are zero transgender girls
participating in school sports in Michigan this year. This bill impacts no one and protects no one. It’s a
manufactured crisis designed to stoke fear and fuel a culture war that has no place in our schools or our
legislature. Michigan students are facing real challenges—like rising mental health needs, unsafe conditions,
and lack of access to basic resources. Instead of focusing on those urgent priorities, this bill diverts time and
energy toward marginalizing already vulnerable children. That’s not leadership. That’s scapegoating. Our

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Though well intended, at the time of the vote, I was not able to support a potential $100M hit to the state’s general fund. I believe more work could be done to lessen the blow, and I am hopeful the Senate will continue to work with the bill sponsors and send back a bill that addresses these concerns that support our small businesses in a fiscally responsible manner.”
Rep. Paiz, 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:
I support our House Fiscal Analysis, which states that the General Fund revenue loss would be over $100 million (money that I believe could be better spent for all Michiganders). Additionally, while I support our 3-tier system, I believe it would be to the detriment of the other tiers should this legislation become law. ‘...the existing 17% licensee discount totaled $323.8 million. Increasing the licensee discount to 23% would increase the licensee discount payment by approximately $113.9 million, which would result in a corresponding general fund revenue loss of approximately $113.9 million.’”

appropriate funding would be available to develop and enforce as necessary. Also, as presented by the bill’s

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on this bill because it isn’t really a bill about allowing alcohol sales, rather, it’s a bill that
changes the threshold needed to put the vote to the public. If the community wants to allow alcohol sales to
be on the ballot, there is already a democratic process in place. This bill seeks to change that process simply
because the threshold isn’t being met. To me, this seems like a dangerous precedent. In a democracy, we
accept our wins and losses based on popular vote. To change the rules because you didn’t get the desired
outcome is a slippery slope that undermines democratic principles.”

Whereas, Catalonian traditions, including the celebration of La Diada, which commemorates the fall of Barcelona in the War of the Spanish Succession in 1714, exemplify the importance of diverse festivities that are already honored across Michigan; and
Whereas, We understand the struggle the Catalonian people have faced —having lost its political institutions and liberties under the Nueva Planta decrees imposed by King Philip V of Spain; and
Whereas, Despite centuries of repression, Catalonians have continued to celebrate La Diada as a remembrance of their struggle for autonomy and their enduring cultural identity, transforming the day into a symbol of resilience and quiet strength; and
Whereas, The observance of La Diada serves not only as a cultural celebration but also as a reminder of the universal values of freedom, resilience, and democratic self-governance—values that are closely bonded to the American ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; and
Whereas, Catalonian cultural associations and community organizations across Michigan continue to sustain and share the traditions of La Diada, fostering greater understanding and strengthening the kinship between Catalonian national heritage and the essence of American democracy; now, therefore be it
Resolved by the House of Representative, That the members of this legislative body declare September 11, 2025, as La Diada Day in the state of Michigan.

Rep. Myers-Phillips, 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:
Unfortunately, the national guard is being politicized and mobilized for police actions against U.S citizens and civilians across the nation in ways that courts have deemed to be illegal. I am unable to support this legislation at this time. However, it’s important to note that the Michigan National Guard already offers competitive benefits. Instead, I am motivated to pass legislation that provides a framework to increase access to tuition assistance and childcare assistance for low- to moderate-income Michiganders across the State.”
Rep. Young, 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:
As the Chair of the Detroit Caucus, I would be remiss not to consider the current political posture around sending the National Guard into my city, uninvited. The last time the National Guard was deployed to Detroit was disastrous. This is poor timing for this legislation, particularly because Michigan’s current National Guard force is comparable to other states with similar populations.”
