The substitute passed by voice vote
Adopted in the House by voice vote
To urge the Governor to proclaim October as student backpack safety month for the purpose of raising awareness of the effects of heavy backpacks on the children of Michigan, and how to best address any present or imminent problems presented by excessive backpack weight. Upon deliberation, the House declined to adopt the resolution as introduced, which would have urged the Governor to create a government commission on student backpack safety.
