Summary of SR 1890 – Bob Graham Day

Overview

SR 1890 is a Senate resolution titled “Bob Graham Day.” The resolution is ceremonial in nature and was introduced in April 2025. It designates a day in honor of Bob Graham. A companion bill in the House, HR 8065, covers the same recognition and has also been adopted. The resolution is non-binding and does not create new laws or fiscal obligations.

Purpose and Intent

  • Recognize and honor the contributions of Bob Graham (a figure associated with public service).
  • Establish ceremonial observance of Bob Graham Day within the state legislative context.
  • Align with the companion House resolution to express bipartisan acknowledgment and appreciation.

Key Provisions

  • Formal recognition by the legislature of Bob Graham’s service and impact.
  • Authorization for the observance to be noted in appropriate communications or proclamations, as determined by the sponsoring bodies.

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Individuals and organizations involved in public service recognition and ceremonial observances.
  • State residents who participate in or observe the designated day.

Relationship to Companion Legislation

  • SR 1890 has a companion bill in the House, HR 8065, both adopted.
  • The pair together provides parallel ceremonial recognition in both chambers, reinforcing the message of appreciation for Bob Graham’s contributions.

Practical Takeaways

  • The bill serves as formal, ceremonial commendation rather than establishing policy, funding, or regulatory changes.
  • The specific observance date is not stated in the provided information and would be found in the full bill text or accompanying documents.
