Bill Summary · HR 372

Summary — H.R. 372 (as provided)

Note up front: the document supplied appears to contain multiple, non‑related ceremonial resolutions and metadata merged together (including texts honoring Rebecca Recke, Father Michael Pfleger, and Minister Dara Calleary). The primary, clearly formatted resolution text in this submission is an Alabama House resolution commending Rebecca Recke. This summary focuses on that resolution and clarifies the procedural and document inconsistencies.

Purpose

This is a ceremonial House resolution commending Rebecca Recke on her retirement and recognizing her career achievements in education, athletics, and community service. It does not create new law or alter public policy; its purpose is honorary.

Key provisions / content

  • Officially commends Rebecca Recke for a 34‑year career in education and community service.
  • Lists academic credentials:
    • B.S., Troy (Troy State) University, 1988
    • M.S., University of Tennessee, 1989
    • National Board Certification (since 2008)
    • Health Certification (University of Alabama at Birmingham)
    • Commercial Driver License (serving as a bus driver since 1998)
  • Summarizes professional accomplishments:
    • Taught physical education and health; coached varsity softball and volleyball.
    • Founded Mortimer Jordan High School softball program; led team to Alabama High School Athletic Association State 4A‑5A Championship (1999).
    • Recorded 300th career coaching win (2004).
    • Secured collegiate athletic scholarships for 17 student‑athletes.
    • Transitioned to elementary education at Bryan Elementary in 2004 and served there ~21 years.
  • Notes awards and honors, including Teacher of the Year recognitions (PTA State Elementary Teacher of the Year 2007; Institute of America Teacher of the Year 2009; PTA Elementary Teacher of the Year 2020; ASAPHERD Elementary Teacher of the Year 2023; Bryan Elementary Teacher of the Year 2024).
  • Recognizes community roles: ACCESS Health Teacher at the University of Alabama (since 2008), long‑time school bus driver, athletic coach and mentor.
  • Concludes by formally commending her service and wishing her well in retirement.

Who is affected

  • Primary subject: Rebecca Recke — the resolution honors her career and retirement.
  • Indirectly honors the schools, students, colleagues, and communities she served (Mortimer Jordan High School, Bryan Elementary, local athletics programs).
  • No rights, obligations, funding, or regulatory changes for third parties—purely commemorative.

Procedural / timeline details (as provided)

  • Introduced: January 13, 2025 (document header).
  • Version metadata lists Representative Treadaway as author.
  • Document includes multiple procedural entries (some inconsistent) indicating the resolution was considered, adopted, enrolled, and — per entries — presented to the Secretary of State and signed by the Speaker. Specific listed actions/dates include adoption (April–May 2025) and enrollment/signature (June 12–13, 2025).
  • Because the file contains mixed entries from different jurisdictions, the precise legislative path should be confirmed with the originating legislative body (e.g., the Alabama House clerk) for authoritative status.

Important caveat

The supplied file mixes at least three distinct ceremonial resolutions from different states and jurisdictions. If you need an official status check, intended sponsor list, or the text limited strictly to a particular chamber or jurisdiction (for example the Alabama House resolution only), I can extract and produce a clean, jurisdiction‑specific summary or retrieve authoritative status information.
