Bill Summary · HR 350

Bill summary — H.R. 350 (House Resolution)

Short title / stated purpose: Expresses condolences of the House of Representatives / honors and recognizes individuals (memorial/congratulatory resolution).

Bill type: House resolution (non‑binding, commemorative)

Main purpose and intent

H.R. 350 is a commemorative House resolution that formally honors individuals and/or expresses condolences and recognition on behalf of the House. The resolution is symbolic: it recognizes the life, character, and service of named persons and directs that a suitable copy of the resolution be presented to their families.

Key provisions

  • Officially honors and recognizes the named individual(s) for their life, courage, community contributions, or milestones (examples in the document include Ethan Tkalec and Joshua “Josh” Michael Rogers).
  • Expresses condolences or esteem and admiration on behalf of the House.
  • Directs that a “suitable copy” of the resolution be prepared and presented to the named person or their family.
  • No appropriation of funds, regulatory changes, or binding legal effects — purely ceremonial.

Who is affected

  • The primary direct beneficiaries are the named individuals and their families/communities (document text references Ethan Tkalec and Joshua “Josh” Michael Rogers; the bill header also references Bruce Patrick Donnelly — see Important note below).
  • The resolution affects the public record and recognizes the honorees publicly; it has symbolic value to the community, constituents, and family members.

Legislative status and timeline (selected actions)

  • Introduced: January 13, 2025
  • Referred to House Committee on the Judiciary (Jan 13, 2025)
  • Read and adopted by the House (Feb 21, 2025; other calendar and adoption entries on Feb–May 2025)
  • Placed on Congratulatory & Memorial Resolutions Calendar and adopted (April–May 2025)
  • Enrolled and signed by the Speaker (June 10, 2025)
  • Taken by the Clerk and presented to the Secretary of State per House rules (June 11, 2025)

Sponsors

Multiple primary sponsors and cosponsors are listed (e.g., Representatives Nicole Malliotakis, Anissa Jones, Floyd Griffin, Miriam Paris, and others; cosponsors include Barry Loudermilk, Darrell Issa, John Joyce, etc.).

Important note on document inconsistency

The provided document appears to contain blended/duplicated text from multiple commemorative resolutions: the bill header references Bruce Patrick Donnelly; one section honors Ethan Tkalec (including a May 28, 2025 birthday reference); another section memorializes Joshua “Josh” Michael Rogers (d. Nov 24, 2024). Because the text is inconsistent, consult the official enrolled resolution on the legislative website or the Secretary of State’s copy to confirm which individual(s) H.R. 350 formally names and honors in its final adopted form.

Impact

Symbolic and ceremonial: makes a public statement of sympathy/recognition, provides a formal copy to family, and records appreciation in the legislative record. No legal or fiscal effects.
