The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:

A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Hank Vaupel.

Whereas, For serving this legislative body with great commitment, we commend and thank Representative Hank Vaupel. He has worked diligently over the last six years to improve the lives of the residents of Livingston County in the Forty-seventh District and of all people in the state of Michigan; and

Whereas, Representative Vaupel graduated from Michigan State University with his bachelor’s and doctoral degrees in veterinary medicine. Before he was first elected to the Legislature in 2014, he served as a captain in the United States Army, and subsequently started his veterinary practice, Kern Road Veterinary Clinic. A pillar in his local community, Hank Vaupel has served as the Handy Township supervisor, the secretary for the Village of Fowlerville Downtown Development Authority, and a board member of the Fowlerville Area Fire Authority, among numerous other community leadership positions; and

Whereas, During his three terms of service, Representative Vaupel has proudly served as the vice chair and then chair of the Healthy Policy Committee where he was dedicated to improving the health of Michiganders by sponsoring legislation to increase access to telemedicine, mental health care, and health care coverage. Appointed as a co-chair of the bipartisan House Community, Access, Resources, Education, and Safety (C.A.R.E.S.) Task Force, he led the task force to make recommendations and pursue solutions for Michigan’s mental health system. In addition, he drew upon his education and experience while serving on the committees on Education, Insurance, Local Government, Michigan Competitiveness, Tax Policy, Agriculture, and Families, Children, and Seniors; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Hank Vaupel for his notable contributions to this legislative body and to our state; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Vaupel as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
