Note: These procedural entries mix House floor actions with state-level language (“presented to the Secretary of State”) and committee referrals that do not clearly match the subject matter; this further indicates conflation of multiple documents.
Sponsors and Co-sponsors (as listed)
Names appear in the document but are inconsistent with the texts:
- Listed: Julia Brownley, Sanford D. Bishop, Gabe Amo, Sheila Jones, Michael Crawford, Matt Hanson, Harry Benton, Rick Ryan, Joy Walters (and Representative Jones of the 60th referenced).
- Because the document mixes multiple jurisdictions and resolutions, sponsor assignments should be verified in the official congressional or state legislative record.
Conclusion and Recommendation
The file for H.R. 333 is inconsistent and appears to combine at least three different resolutions (a commendation for Reverend King John Taylor, a congratulatory resolution for Ozzie Guillén, and an osteoporosis awareness resolution). Each identified item is ceremonial or awareness-focused (non-binding). For authoritative status, sponsors, and the exact text to which House actions refer, consult the official congressional or state legislative website (Clerk’s desk or bill tracking service) or the enrolled resolution on the legislative body’s official record.
