Journal of the House 482 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE Journal of the House FIFTY-FOURTH DAY HALL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, TOPEKA, KS, Wednesday, April 1, 2009, 9:00 a.m. The House met pursuant to recess with Speaker O’Neal in the chair. The roll was called with 124 members present. Rep. Seiwert was excused on excused absence by the Speaker. Prayer by Chaplain Brubaker: Our Heavenly Father, Today we celebrate April Fool’s Day, a day in which we like to pull pranks— and there is nothing wrong in relaxing with a joke or two. We are reminded, however, that in Your Word, You speak quite frankly about the way of the fool. ‘‘Fools are headstrong and do what they like; wise people take advice . Fools have short fuses and explode all too quickly; the prudent quietly shrug off insults . Start with God—the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning . Perceptive words spread knowledge; fools are hollow—there is nothing to them . An intelligent person is always eager to take in more truth; fools feed on fast-food fads and fancies . A quiet rebuke to a person of good sense does more than a whack on the head of a fool.’’ (Proverbs 12:15-16; 1:7; 15:14; 17:10 The Message) Lord . make us wise today in all we do, and help us not to play the fool. In Your Name I pray, Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Rep. Trimmer.

McCray-Miller, Bal- lard, Finney, Garcia, Goico, Henderson, Ruiz, Sawyer, Talia and Winn, as follows, was introduced and adopted: HOUSE RESOLUTION No. 6024— A RESOLUTION designating the month of April as Minority Health Awareness Month. WHEREAS, The overall health and well-being of all Kansas citizens is important and is directly related to the quality of life of the citizens of this great state; and WHEREAS, The rates of overweight and obese individuals has been increasing in the United States in recent years. Obesity increases an individual’s risk of diabetes, heart disease, cancer and many other illnesses. In Kansas, the rate of obesity is 25% for whites, 30% for Hispanics and 40% for African Americans; and WHEREAS, Despite the growing scientific evidence documenting the importance of fruits and vegetables to a healthy diet, four out of five Kansans, regardless of race and ethnicity, do not eat the daily recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables, under- scoring the importance of raising awareness about healthy lifestyle choices; and WHEREAS, Thousands of Kansas children, adults and elders suffer from poor health as a result of lack of access to appropriate health care because of race, ethnicity, cultural differences, gender, socioeconomic status, geographical location and disabilities; and WHEREAS, These health disparities are compounded by factors including poverty, health care provider shortages, patient health care preferences and lifestyle choices; and WHEREAS, Activities such as research, improved public policy and appropriate legisla- tion can help to remove health related barriers and disparities facing racial, ethnic and tribal populations and increase awareness of the importance of managing our health and well- being; and WHEREAS, Regardless of race, age, gender, disability or socioeconomic status, all Kan- sans should have the opportunity to actively participate in the management of their personal health and well-being through proper nutrition, moderate exercise and regular health screenings: Now, therefore, Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Kansas: That we designate the month of April as Minority Health Awareness Month and that we urge all Kansans to join in this observance; and Be it further resolved: That the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives be directed to provide an enrolled copy of this resolution to Representative Melody McCray-Miller. There being no objection, the following remarks by Reps. McCray-Miller and Garcia are spread upon the journal. Remarks by Rep. McCray-Miller: 484 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE Regardless of race, age, gender, disability or socioeconomic status, all Kansans should have the opportunity to actively participate in the management of their personal health and well-being through proper nutrition, moderate exercise and regular health screenings. Remarks by Rep. Garcia: I am proud to honor this month as Minority Health Awareness Month, and want to share some exciting news on the work on this so far in Kansas by the Kansas Latino Legislative Caucus area. Wichita has been proactive on minority health awareness through our annual April Health Fair. I’d like to invite you to Wichita on Saturday, April 11, to our fifth annual Health is Life: Resource and Health Fair, where we have free health screenings for blood pressure, diabetes, tuberculosis, skin, feet, including massages and information on living a healthier lifestyle with materials available in other languages like Spanish and Vietnamese. There will be free healthy food and beverages and entertainment to make living life healthy fun! When all Kansans are healthy, then Kansas is healthy and flourishes economically. MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS OFFERED ON A PREVIOUS DAY On motion of Rep. Quigley, HR 6023, A resolution congratulating the Kansas Medical Society on its 150th Anniversary, was adopted. There being no objection, the following remarks of Rep. Quigley are spread upon the journal: We are proud to announce that 2009 marks the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Kansas Medical Society. On February 10, 1859—two years before Kansas achieved state- hood—a group of physicians gathered at the Eldridge Hotel in Lawrence to develop and sign an organizational charter. One of those original signers was Charles Robinson, a phy- sician whose name is one of the ten names on the walls of the House Chamber. Since that time, the Kansas Medical Society has endured and remains a steadfast advocate for the physicians of this great state. Today I am joined by House Leadership (Speaker O’Neal, Majority Leader Merrick, Speaker Pro Tem Siegfreid, and Minority Leader Davis), by Rep. Landwehr as Chair of the House Health and Human Services and by representatives with immediate family members who are physicians: • My husband, Dr. Jim Quigley, is a pathologist in Johnson County • Rep. Goico, whose son, Brian Goico is in medical school at Northwestern University • Rep. Goyle, whose parents, Dr. Krishan Goyle is a cardiologist and Dr. Vimal Goyle is a gynecologist at the Goyle clinic in Wichita • Rep. Hineman, whose daughter-in-law, Dr. Libby Hineman is in family practice in Scott City • Rep. Ruiz, whose wife , Dr. Marthel E. Parson-Ruiz is a psychiatrist in Kansas City • Rep Tietze whose husband, Dr. Dennis Tietze, is in family medicine in Topeka • Rep. Wetta, whose daughter-in-law, Dr. Terri Cusick-Wetta is a surgeon in Wichita • Rep. Neighbor, whose daughter, Dr. Samantha Durland, is an obstetrician-gynecologist in Lawrence • Rep. Ballard, who son, Dr. Gregory Ballard, is an orthopedic surgeon in the Kansas City area In celebration, we offer this resolution. The House stood at ease until the sound of the gavel. Speaker O’Neal called the House to order.

President Morris welcomed the Rev. Fred S. Hollomon, who will again serve as the Senate Chaplain and delivered the following invocation: Heavenly Father, Lawyers have left their office, Farmers have closed their gate.

For House and Senate are in session, And it's time to legislate. Someone else must run our business, In their hands they hold our fate; While we labor in the State House, And attempt to legislate. Grant us wisdom, Lord, this session As we start with fresh new slate; For constituents are waiting To see what we'll legislate. I pray in the Name of Jesus Christ, AMEN The Pledge of Allegiance was led by President Morris.
