House Resolution No. 102.

A resolution in memory of Michigan State Police Trooper Kevin Marshall.

Whereas, It is with deep regret that the members of the Michigan Legislature unite with all the citizens of our Great Lakes State to mourn the tragic death of Kevin Marshall, dedicated Department of Michigan State Police Trooper, devoted husband to Angela and father to Anthony and Danielle. We extend our sincerest condolences to the family of this loyal law enforcement officer; and

Whereas, Trooper Marshall's death in the line of duty reminds us how fragile life can be. On life's highway, there is no compass that tells us what direction to take and no road map to guide our decision making. We face the unforeseen every day in our world of demands and deadlines. However, Kevin Marshall lived life with purpose and optimism. He felt strongly that with care and hard work, individual men and women could make a difference; and

Whereas, The job of a Michigan State Police Trooper is to ensure our streets, schools, homes, and neighborhoods are safe. The perilous nature of the law enforcement profession exposes its members to potential hazard and harm at any time or place. Trooper Marshall accepted the risks of his profession and responded to duty with courage and commitment. He brought energy and enthusiasm to the Newaygo State Police Post and will be deeply missed by his fellow officers. Truly, our state has lost a fine young man; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body offer this resolution as a memorial for Kevin Marshall; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to his family as a reflection of how deeply the people of Michigan share in their loss.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Rep. Richardville moved that a letter be sent to the Senate agreeing with the request that the Governor return Enrolled Senate Bill No. 391.

The motion prevailed.

Messages from the Governor

The following line items veto message from the Governor was received and read:

Executive Office, Lansing, July 7, 2003

Michigan House of Representatives

State Capitol Building

Lansing, Michigan 48909

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Today I have signed Enrolled House Bill 4032. However, I am returning it to you because of several items of which I disapprove, pursuant to Article V, Section 19, of the Michigan Constitution. The specific vetoes are contained in the attached copy of the bill, which has been filed with the Secretary of State.

This supplemental budget bill provides funding of $357.4 million (negative $5.6 million general fund) for fiscal year 2003. Among other items, this bill appropriates new federal monies for a variety of purposes including the eradication of the Emerald Ash Borer, bioterrorism efforts, the Low-income Energy Assistance Program, implementation of the Help America Vote Act, Homeland Security, and local bridge and road construction.

This bill also provides general fund reductions of $1.1 million for the Judiciary and $1.8 million for the Legislature to implement fiscal year 2003 appropriation reductions that cannot legally be made by an Executive Order.

My action today also provides for the veto of the following items:

I have vetoed the $50,000 general fund reduction for the Focus: HOPE program in the Department of Career Development. Reducing this program would require immediate reductions to critical job training programs such as the High School Advance Placement Program, First Step Fast Track Program, and the Center for Advanced Technology. Reductions this close to the end of the fiscal year would place an undue burden on these important programs.

I have vetoed the $1.5 million from the cleanup and redevelopment trust fund to cover a shortfall in the current year appropriation for payments in lieu of taxes. Payment of taxes is not a legally appropriate use of this restricted fund. I will continue to work with the Legislature to identify an appropriate fund source.

I have vetoed the $2.2 million general fund appropriation for disaster relief and associated boilerplate for storm related clean up costs in Oakland County. The April 4, 2003 storm did not meet the disaster or emergency criteria specified in PA 390 of 1976 and therefore, no declaration of emergency was made by the Governor.

I have vetoed the $800,000 appropriation contained within boilerplate section 275, which increases the Attorney General budget during a time of economic difficulties. The enhanced use of these funds to support the Attorney General budget is the subject of ongoing fiscal year 2004 budget discussions.

I have vetoed section 800 and the thirty-four individual road and bridge projects for the Department of Transportation. Although I have vetoed these items, I continue to work with the Legislature to identify priority road projects.

In addition, boilerplate section 351 provides for a $1.0 million general fund penalty reduction for the Department of Education. There is no appropriation in this bill to the Department of Education; therefore, section 351 is unenforceable. Similarly, boilerplate section 601 for the Michigan Strategic Fund is unenforceable as it attempts to amend the fund's fiscal year 2003 budget act.

I thank the Legislature for your work on these supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2003.

Sincerely,

Jennifer M. Granholm

Governor

The bill was signed by the Governor July 7, 2003, at 9:35 a.m.

The bill was filed with the Secretary of State, July 8, 2003, at 8:50 a.m., and assigned Public Act No. 39, I.E.

The question being on the passage of the disapproved items, the objections of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding,

Rep. Richardville moved that the bill be re-referred to the Committee on Appropriations.

The motion prevailed.

The following veto message from the Governor was received and read:

Executive Office, Lansing, July 11, 2003

Michigan House of Representatives

State Capitol

Lansing, Michigan 48909-7514

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Today I return with my objections Enrolled House Bill 4456, pursuant to Section 33 of Article IV of the Michigan Constitution of 1963. I have vetoed House Bill 4456 for the following reasons:

1. Subdivision 2(e) of the bill provides for the appointment in certain circumstances of "a resident within that 1/2 mile area who is willing to serve on the county parks and recreation commission" but fails to define the 1/2 mile area.

2. Subdivision 2(e) of the bill requires the board of commissioners of a county with a population greater than 750,000 but less than 1,000,000 to appoint a new member to the county parks and recreation commission. Currently only Macomb County is within that population threshold. While an additional county may meet the threshold in the future, House Bill 4456 does not adequately provide for additional appointments in other counties after the first appointment made under Subdivision 2(e).

Regardless of the merits of this legislation, I cannot sign a bill containing these technical deficiencies. If the House of Representatives were in session, I would ask the chamber to consider requesting the return of House Bill 4456 for correction. Unfortunately, while I am required to act on the bill by July 14, the House of Representatives has adjourned until July 15. Accordingly, I return Enrolled House Bill 4456 without signature, but look forward to working with the Legislature to correct these problems.

Respectfully,

Jennifer M. Granholm

Governor

The following veto message from the Governor was received and read:

Executive Office, Lansing, July 11, 2003

Michigan House of Representatives

State Capitol

Lansing, Michigan 48909-7514

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Today I return with my objections Enrolled House Bill 4511, pursuant to Section 33 of Article IV of the Michigan Constitution of 1963. The bill amends the Administrative Procedures Act of 1969 (APA) to lengthen the current 21-day period for legislative review of proposed administrative rules. The rationale advanced in support of this bill is that the 21-day review period under current law is insufficient.

I disagree, and instead concur with a description of the 1999 amendments to the APA creating the current legislative review process, as published by your Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) earlier this year:

"The amendments give JCAR members greater opportunity for involvement and inquiry during the rulemaking process. From an agency's initiation of the rulemaking process by Request for Rulemaking (RFR), to the final 21-day JCAR review period, Committee members can track and take an active role in the development of administrative rules. Ultimately, the new JCAR review process gives legislators a chance to be proactive and allows them to help shape the many agency rules that affect Michigan residents."

The current review process is sufficient. House Bill 4511 does not contribute to the efficient and effective administration of state government.

Accordingly, I return Enrolled House Bill 4511 without signature.

Respectfully,

Jennifer M. Granholm

Governor

Phillips, Accavitti, Adamini, Anderson, Bieda, Bradstreet, Brown, Byrum, Clack, Condino, Dennis, DeRoche, DeRossett, Drolet, Ehardt, Elkins, Emmons, Farhat, Farrah, Garfield, Gillard, Hager, Hardman, Hopgood, Huizenga, Jamnick, Kooiman, Lipsey, McConico, Minore, Newell, Nofs, O'Neil, Paletko, Palsrok, Pappageorge, Pastor, Richardville, Rivet, Rocca, Shaffer, Spade, Stahl, Stakoe, Stallworth, Tobocman, Voorhees, Waters, Wojno, Woronchak and Zelenko offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 103.

A resolution to urge the Department of Corrections and the Family Independence Agency to work together to develop a protocol to ensure that threats of domestic violence by prison inmates are immediately channeled to proper state and local agencies and law enforcement units.

Whereas, The numbing tragedy of the triple homicide in Pontiac has shocked and saddened our state. The sorrow over the brutal slayings of a mother and two young daughters has also given way to frustration that apparent calls for help fell through the fabric of our social safety net. The realization that a more effective system of responding to calls for protection could possibly have helped has led many to urge that we reexamine how threats of domestic violence are handled; and

Whereas, While there is a key mechanism available to people who have reason to fear domestic violence in the form of a personal protection order obtained from the court, the Pontiac case reveals clear inadequacies in how communications are handled before an order is issued. A Department of Corrections email system operated solely for the purpose of reporting domestic violence threats by prison inmates will generate a more comprehensive response to the urgent need of protection for a family. A message or phone call channeled to the Domestic Violence Prevention and Treatment unit of the Family Independence Agency and local police, for example, could have averted this tragedy; and

Whereas, It may be more effective if concerns expressed to state agencies, including the Department of Corrections, were examined by social workers and local police were notified. The development of a toll-free THREATS hotline and THREATS email address may also prove to be a better way to encourage frightened people to reach out for help that could save their lives and those of their children; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Department of Corrections and the Family Independence Agency to work together to develop a protocol to ensure that threats of domestic violence by prison inmates are immediately channeled to proper state and local agencies and law enforcement units; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the Governor, the Family Independence Agency, and the Department of Corrections.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Criminal Justice.

House Resolution No. 104.

A resolution to honor the 87th Armored Field Artillery Battalion who fought to defend our freedom during World War II as they gather for their 60th anniversary reunion of their journey through the European Theatre and to memorialize those brave young men who gave their lives in service to our great nation.

We who are living shall return to our homes with a sense of satisfaction, and the knowledge of a 'job' well done and a vital interest to maintain the four freedoms.

Whereas, Freedom is not free. We honor those brave soldiers who fought to defend the freedoms that today are all too often taken for granted. We pause to recognize the 20 members of the 87th Armored Field Artillery Battalion who lost their lives and 104 who were wounded in combat protecting our freedoms during World War II; and

Whereas, Members of the 87th Armored Field Artillery Battalion received the following honors: 104 awarded Purple Heart Medals; 18 awarded Purple Heart Ribbons; 10 awarded Purple Heart Ribbons by the 3rd Armored Division; 14 awarded Silver Star Medals; 20 awarded Air Medals; 28 awarded Bronze Star Medals; 56 awarded Meritorious Service Medals; and one man, Robert C. Keeler, was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal; and

Whereas, Members of the 87th Armored Field Artillery Battalion began their journey together on July 15, 1940, at Fort William in the jungles of Panama. They were later rushed to Fort Knox and to England for training specifically for D-Day. Their journey ultimately led them to Belgium and France through the beaches of Normandy, Omaha and Utah and beyond into the shattered heart of Hitler's Germany. On January 10, 1944, they arrived in Adderbury, Oxfordshire, England and began specialized assault training for the fierce fighting that began on June 6, 1944, at D-Day and continued until May 1945 when the first members of the 87th were discharged with full military honor and sent back to the United States; and

Whereas, During World War II the 87th Armored Field Artillery Battalion, code name "Jeopard," became known throughout the European Theatre of Operations as the "Bushmasters," synonymous with rapid, accurate artillery fire. The 87th Armored Field Artillery Battalion expended 161,716 rounds of 105mm ammunition in combat. The bond that these men developed has been the driving force which leads them to gather annually around the United States for a reunion; and

Whereas, We welcome the living heroes of the 87th Armored Field Artillery Battalion and their families to the great state of Michigan for their 60th anniversary reunion of their journey through the European Theatre, held in Southgate, Michigan from September 4-7, 2003, and extend our highest regard and heartfelt thanks for your service to our country; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That members of this legislative body join together in honoring the 87th Armored Field Artillery Battalion who fought to defend our freedom during World War II as they gather for their 60th anniversary reunion of their journey through the European Theatre; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution is transmitted to the living heroes of the 87th Armored Field Artillery Battalion as evidence of our sincere gratitude to those who were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect freedom and liberty.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Richardville moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Rep. Tabor offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 105.

A resolution to recognize and commemorate August 9, 2003, as the 100th anniversary of Michigan's State Forestry System and to encourage the continued sustainable management of Michigan forests into the next 100 years.

Whereas, Michigan has a long and rich tradition of forestry dating back to the establishment by the Michigan Forestry Commission of the first state forest in 1903. Prior to this, and as farming had mostly failed on the poor sandy soils of northern Michigan, the landscape had been left with dead wood and vulnerable to intense forest fires. In 1871, fires burned approximately 2.5 million acres, and over 1 million acres burned in the Thumb Area in 1881. Fires destroyed trees and habitat, killed wildlife, and accelerated erosion and river/stream degradation; and

Whereas, In an effort to avoid future similar fires, in 1887, the state of Michigan established a Forestry Commission to preserve, protect, and restore Michigan's forests. The Forestry Commission started nurseries for seedlings and stressed that fire protection as imperative to good forest management. In 1902, Michigan Agricultural College (now Michigan State University) established a forestry curriculum for education, training, and research; and

Whereas, In 1903, the Forestry Commission established the first state forest in Crawford and Roscommon Counties. Over the next 100 years, the state forest system grew from 34,000 acres to nearly 4 million acres. It changed dramatically as well, transforming from cutover and burned-over abandoned land to a vibrant, healthy, growing forest; and

Whereas, Today, Michigan's landscape is again dominated by forests. These 19.3 million acres of forestland support a diversity of ecosystems, trees, animals, birds, and fish; provide outdoor recreation; protect air and water quality; support local communities and forest industry; and enhance the quality of life in Michigan; and

Whereas, Michigan's state forest system is the largest in the country. The efforts of many people and organizations have guided its stewardship and kept it healthy and growing; and

Whereas, It is fitting that we recognize and commemorate 100 years of Michigan forestry management with a celebration on August 9, 2003, at the North Higgins Lake State Park CCC Nursery; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize August 9, 2003, as the 100th anniversary of Michigan's State Forest System and applaud the work of all those who have contributed to this rich tradition of conservation of one of our state's most important resources; and be it further

Resolved, That we continue to explore and develop new methods for the sustainable management of the forests as we head into the next 100 years; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Natural Resources Commission as a token of our esteem.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Richardville moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Rocca, Hopgood, Nitz, Bieda, Byrum, Spade, Wojno, Sak, Gleason, Anderson, Woronchak, Stahl, Ruth Johnson, Caul, Vander Veen, Richardville, Phillips, Accavitti, Acciavatti, Bradstreet, Brandenburg, Brown, Caswell, Clack, Condino, Dennis, DeRoche, DeRossett, Drolet, Ehardt, Elkins, Emmons, Farhat, Farrah, Garfield, Gieleghem, Hager, Howell, Huizenga, Hummel, Hune, Jamnick, Koetje, Kooiman, LaJoy, McConico, Meyer, Milosch, Minore, Newell, Nofs, O'Neil, Paletko, Palmer, Palsrok, Pappageorge, Pastor, Shaffer, Sheen, Sheltrown, Shulman, Stakoe, Stallworth, Tabor, Tobocman, Van Regenmorter and Voorhees offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 24.

A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to grant a federal charter to the Korean War Veterans Association.

Whereas, As our nation witnesses once again the sacrifices of our fellow citizens taking up arms to preserve liberties, we have reawakened our sensitivity to the importance of service to veterans from all of America's wars. Organizations that work to help and advocate on behalf of veterans help fulfill a promise between our country and its defenders; and

Whereas, The Korean War Veterans Association is the only veterans organization comprised exclusively of Korean War veterans. This group has established an excellent record of service to those who served and suffered in Korea and their families; and

Whereas, However, the Korean War Veterans Association is one of the few veterans groups of its size operating without a federal charter. Legislation is currently pending in Congress in both the House of Representatives (H.R. 1043) and the Senate (S. 478) to grant a federal charter; and

Whereas, The long overdue granting of a federal charter would enable the association to significantly enhance its efforts to help needy Korean War veterans and their families. With a charter, which would extend to it the same status as other veterans groups, the Korean War Veterans Association would be able to further its work and participate more fully with other groups. A federal charter also would permit the organization to assist in processing claims for benefits; and

Whereas, As our nation marks the fiftieth anniversary of the end of military hostilities on the Korean Peninsula, granting the federal charter would be most appropriate; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to grant a federal charter to the Korean War Veterans Association; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security.

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 26

A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to work with the appropriate federal agencies in adopting guidelines on beach maintenance activities as defined in 2003 PA 14 and to encourage the United States Army Corps of Engineers to work with property owners on the stewardship of beaches.

Whereas, The most effective stewardship of our environment includes both public and private participation. Michigan has recently taken an important step in the direction of caring for our shorelines and beaches with the enactment of legislation permitting shoreline property owners to take certain actions to maintain beaches within specific guidelines; and

Whereas, With the reduction in lake levels, shoreline property has changed dramatically in many areas. In many instances, beaches have been transformed by vegetation, which has led property owners to seek authority to groom the beaches. However, the potential for conflict with the long-term integrity of shore lands and habitat required extensive discussions to develop an effective and responsible strategy; and

Whereas, As a result of the input of individual property owners, local landowner and environmental groups, state officials, and lawmakers, Michigan has enacted legislation, 2003 PA 14 (Enrolled House Bill No. 4257), that will allow property owners to remove vegetation and debris from beaches. These actions are limited in scope and strike a workable balance between legitimate recreational concerns and environmental considerations; and

Whereas, The effective compromise established with regard to maintenance on Michigan beaches will be far more productive than contentiousness between property owners and governmental regulators. This legislation capitalizes on the shared commitment private and public interests have in the quality and the appearances of our beaches; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to work with the appropriate federal agencies in adopting guidelines on beach maintenance activities as defined in 2003 PA 14. We also encourage the United States Army Corps of Engineers to work cooperatively with property owners on the stewardship of beaches; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the President of the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency, the United States Army Corps of Engineers, the Office of the Governor, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.
