Pastor Eric Moore of Canton Community Church of Canton offered the following invocation:

Heavenly Father, You are a holy, holy, holy God. You are the Creator and Sustainer of all things. Your power and glory that You display are awesome to us. It is incredible that You, the Creator of the universe, would invite us to come into Your presence and to know that we are gladly welcomed there to seek Your help and guidance.

So, Father, this meeting of decisionmakers deliberately pauses as they begin their deliberations to acknowledge You and to acknowledge their need for Your sovereign guidance.

And, Heavenly Father, we thank You for the economic prosperity, the low unemployment, and the prospect of a bright future in Michigan. In this season of blessing, protect us from thinking that we have made it on our own. Help us to remember that every good gift comes from Your hand.

Father, like so many other citizens of this state, I thank You for the men and women in this Senate. I thank You for the desire You gave to them to serve us by picking up the mantle of leadership. Thank You for the gifts and abilities that You have given them so they can do this job well.

We pray that You would protect them. Protect their families. Safeguard their marriages. Protect their integrity. Fill their homes with peace and joy. Help them lead from depth of character. Preserve the servanthood quality of their leadership.

And now, Heavenly Father, guide their actions and choices today. Help them to be able to see the spiritual and moral implications of their choices. Make the way clear and simple for them.

We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, the Lord of all Senators and the King of all kings. Amen.

Office of Financial and Insurance Services

Department of Consumer and Industry Services

 

Executive Reorganization

 

Whereas, Article V, Section 1, of the Constitution of the state of Michigan of 1963 vests the executive power in the Governor; and

Whereas, Article V, Section 2, of the Constitution of the state of Michigan of 1963 empowers the Governor to make changes in the organization of the Executive Branch or in the assignment of functions among its units which he considers necessary for efficient administration; and

Whereas, Article V, Section 8, of the Constitution of the state of Michigan of 1963 provides that each principal department shall be under the supervision of the Governor, unless otherwise provided by the Constitution; and

Whereas, in order to enhance competition in the financial services industry and allow U.S. companies to effectively compete in the global market, the United States Congress recently enacted the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 which provides for the affiliation of banks, securities firms, insurance companies and other financial services providers; and

Whereas, reorganizing the regulation of insurance, financial institutions and securities into one office within the Department of Consumer and Industry Services will ensure improved service and protection for consumers; and

Whereas, the consolidation of the regulation of insurance, financial institutions and securities will provide maximum regulatory flexibility to allow Michigan companies to compete effectively in the national and international marketplace.
