Rep. John Pappageorge, from the 41st District, offered the following invocation:

"Lord, we thank You for the opportunity we've been given to help chart Michigan's future. Bless and guide the many people who work so hard to make our deliberations a success as we strive to better the quality of life of our citizens. Help us to be constantly reminded that good public policy must transcend partisanship or individual ambition. And, let our discussions on the issues of the day be conducted with courtesy, civility and, yes, some humor as well. And, finally, Lord, please give us in our own lives the courage to do what is right and the wisdom to understand how we can best make a contribution to our own communities and to our state. We ask this in Christ's name. Amen."

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Dennis, Kolb, Meisner, Tobocman, Murphy, Hardman, Minore, Farrah, Daniels, Stallworth, Gleason, Vagnozzi, Spade, Law, Clack, Woodward, Gieleghem, Zelenko, Waters, Phillips, Condino, Accavitti, Wojno, Paletko, Plakas, Bieda, Brandenburg, Byrum, Caswell, Ehardt, Jamnick, LaSata, O'Neil, Rivet, Sak and Shaffer offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 122.

A resolution to encourage the judicious use of antibiotics.

Whereas, Antibiotics have saved lives for more than 50 years; and

Whereas, Antibiotics are an important weapon against infectious bacterial diseases that harm children, senior citizens, and people of all ages and walks of life; and

Whereas, Antibiotics overuse has led to antibiotic resistance that is destroying antibiotic effectiveness, and these bacteria represent a significant threat to the health of individuals whom they infect; and

Whereas, Infections with resistant bacteria increase the cost and complexity of treating infections that previously were easily treated; and

Whereas, In 2002, the first appearance of a Staphylococcus aureus bacterium that is resistant to Vancomycin ­ often considered the best and, at times, the last defense against such infections ­ occurred in Michigan; and

Whereas, The American Society of Microbiology (ASM) presented in the Findings and Conclusions of the Report of the ASM Task Force on Antibiotic Resistance that treating antibiotic resistance in people costs Americans more than $4 billion annually; and

Whereas, The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Annals of Internal Medicine have published recommendations for health care professionals regarding best practices for the judicious use of antibiotics. The Michigan Department of Community Health and the Michigan Antibiotic Resistance Reduction (MARR) Coalition are engaged in an effort to track antibiotic resistance and encourage appropriate antibiotic use; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge health care professionals in Michigan to follow the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding the best use of antibiotics in their practices and formularies; urge the people of Michigan to talk with their health care practitioners about wise antibiotic use; and encourage the Michigan Department of Community Health and the MARR Coalition to increase their efforts to educate Michigan citizens and health care providers about the appropriate use of antibiotics; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Department of Community Health and the Michigan Antibiotic Resistance Reduction Coalition.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Health Policy.

Dennis, Farrah, Sak, Accavitti, Anderson, Bieda, Brandenburg, Byrum, Clack, Condino, Daniels, Ehardt, Gieleghem, Gleason, Hopgood, Jamnick, Kolb, Law, McConico, Minore, O'Neil, Paletko, Pappageorge, Phillips, Plakas, Rivet, Shaffer, Spade, Tobocman, Waters, Wojno, Woodward, Woronchak, Zelenko and Hardman offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 123.

A resolution observing September 15-21, 2003, as Pollution Prevention Week in Michigan.

Whereas, Pollution prevention is promoted as a priority in achieving environmental quality in the state of Michigan in a week of observance, education and outreach. The people of Michigan are proud of our state's beauty, natural resources and environment, yet the presence of pollutants continue to pose a threat to our environment, public health and safety; and

Whereas, Pollution prevention is a fundamental strategy to protect the environment and maintain the health and safety of workers in the workplace by stopping pollution before it occurs. Pollution prevention can benefit businesses by increasing industrial efficiency through process and material waste reduction, thereby saving businesses time and money. With a proactive approach to pollution prevention, Michigan can meet the challenges of having both a sustainable environment and healthy economy for its citizens and businesses; and

Whereas, We support pollution prevention as a means to promote environmental stewardship which improves our communities and protects our natural resources for future generations; and

Whereas, Pollution Prevention Week is an opportunity for the people of Michigan to join together for a clean and vibrant Michigan by taking action to promote the reduction of waste at its source or where this is not feasible, identify opportunities to reuse and recycle; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body observe September 15-21, 2003, as Pollution Prevention Week in Michigan. We commend all businesses and community members who participate in local and regional celebratory and educational activities; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the organizers of this event as evidence of our respect and 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.

House Resolution No. 124.

A resolution honoring BEI Associates, Inc., for their 50 years of distinguished professional service in the city of Detroit, the Detroit metropolitan area and the state of Michigan.

Whereas, BEI Associates, Inc., was established in 1953 under the name of Hoad Engineers Inc. They are now celebrating 50 years of continuous architectural/engineering practice; and

Whereas, BEI Associates, Inc., is headquartered in the city of Detroit. They have been responsible for many of Detroit's significant structures; and

Whereas, BEI Associates, Inc., has provided architectural/engineering services throughout Michigan, the U.S. and overseas locations; and

Whereas, BEI Associates, Inc., has demonstrated good corporate citizenship and has been an important participant in the affairs of the city of Detroit, the Detroit metropolitan area and the state of Michigan; now, therefore, be it

House Resolution No. 125.

A resolution declaring September as National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month in Michigan.

Whereas, In the past 20 years, medical science has made great strides in learning about substance use and the nature of addiction. Addiction is a chronic illness that involves brain chemistry. Treatment for addiction is as effective as treatments for other chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure; and

Whereas, Substance use and addiction result in huge societal and economic costs. It was recently estimated that the cost of untreated addiction in the United States is $294 billion a year. Despite this staggering statistic, 76 percent of people in need of treatment for a problem with illicit drugs did not seek or receive treatment. To further compound the problem, about half of those with a lifetime substance abuse disorder also experience a lifetime history of at least one mental disorder. Roughly half of those with one or more lifetime mental disorders also have a lifetime history of at least one substance abuse disorder. In addition, many men, women and youth who are addicted suffer from a wide range of coexisting physical illnesses, such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, hepatitis C and AIDS, among others; and

Whereas, It is imperative that people with co-occurring disorders are properly diagnosed and treated. As the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Report to Congress on the Prevention and Treatment of Co-occurring Substance Abuse Disorders and Mental Disorders points out: "If one of the co-occurring disorders goes untreated, both usually get worse and additional complications often arise. The combination of disorders can result in poor response to traditional treatments and increases the risk for other serious medical problems (e.g., HIV, hepatitis B and C, cardiac and pulmonary diseases), suicide, criminalization, unemployment, homelessness and separation from families and communities."; and

Whereas, Untreated mental, physical, and substance abuse disorders result in excess costs associated with inpatient and emergency room care, the criminal justice system, homelessness, joblessness, welfare and child welfare. Clearly, the toll substance abuse takes on family, friends and community is immeasurable. But recovery is possible. Every day in every part of the United States, men, women and youth are entering treatment and beginning the road to recovery and families are seeking hope and recovery in support programs and counseling; and

Whereas, National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month celebrates the tremendous strides taken by individuals who have undergone successful treatment, families in recovery, and those in the treatment field who have dedicated their lives to helping people recover. This year's theme, "Join the Voices for Recovery: Celebrating Health," invites all segments of society to join the recovery community in improving the quality of treatment programs and coordinated services in an effort to eradicate the disease of addiction. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment and the office of National Drug Control Policy invite all residents of Michigan to participate in National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September as National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month in Michigan. We encourage all residents to promote the benefits of drug and alcohol addiction treatment and recovery and to support community treatment programs.

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.
