- Pursuant to Joint Rule 20, the full title of the act shall be inserted to read as follows: “An act to provide for the prevention of fires and the protection of persons and property from exposure to the dangers of fire or explosion; to authorize the investigation of fires and the discovery of crime or other offenses in relation thereto; to require the razing, repair, or alteration of buildings, and the clearing and improvement of premises which constitute a fire hazard or a menace to the peace, security, or safety of persons or property; to control the construction, use, and occupancy of buildings and premises in relation to safety, including fire safety; to provide for the certification of fire inspectors and the delegation of certain powers to those certified fire inspectors; to provide for the regulation of the storage and transportation of hazardous material; to provide for the issuance of certificates; to prohibit the use of certain fire extinguishers and fire extinguishing agents; to provide immunity from liability for certain persons; to provide for the administration and enforcement of this act; to prescribe penalties; to provide for the promulgation of rules; to provide for the assessment of fees; and to repeal acts and parts of acts,” The Senate agreed to the full title. Senator Geiss asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal. The motion prevailed. Senator Geiss’ statement is as follows: I rise to speak in support of the substitute to House Bill No. 5527, which makes an already good and important bill even better. The S-3 expands AED access use beyond athletes and athletic programs, but to other school-sponsored programs. This means that programs such as marching band, which exists outside the football team and has practices at separate times from football practice, not to mention the other competitions, music festivals, and parades they participate and perform in, would not be excluded as the original text of the bill focused solely on athletic programs. With this substitute, our junior ROTC kids, marching band kids, color guard kids, drama club and theater kids, kids participating in non-physical but high-pressure activities like debate club and so many others, including their spectators, will now too have this important legal and medical protection. I am grateful for the policy team and the sponsor for getting this addition included. The following bill was read a third time: House Bill No. 5528, entitled A bill to amend 1976 PA 451, entitled “The revised school code,” (MCL 380.1 to 380.1852) by adding section 1319.
