Bill Summary · SR 157

Summary — SR 157 (Resolution)

Note: The materials you provided contain conflicting text fragments from multiple different Senate resolutions (memorial for James Thomas Clark; an Illinois resolution honoring Dulcelandia; a Georgia commendation for Lebreda Brown) that do not match the Bill Information header. This summary addresses the Bill Information you supplied (title and legislative metadata) and explains the discrepancy. Please verify the final enrolled text and the sponsoring chamber/state before using this for official purposes.

Purpose / Intent

According to the Bill Information header, SR 157 is a ceremonial commendation resolution that “commends the volunteers and members of the 2025 Concerned Women for America's Encourage‑A‑Legislator Project.” Its purpose is to formally recognize and congratulate those volunteers and members for their participation in that 2025 project.

Key provisions

  • A non‑binding, ceremonial resolution that:
    • Expresses the legislative body’s congratulations and appreciation to volunteers and members of the Concerned Women for America (CWA) Encourage‑A‑Legislator Project (2025).
    • Directs the legislative clerk or secretary to transmit a copy of the resolution to the organization or designated representatives (typical for commendation resolutions).
  • No policy, appropriations, or regulatory changes — purely symbolic recognition.

Who is affected

  • Primary beneficiaries: volunteers and members of the Concerned Women for America who participated in the 2025 Encourage‑A‑Legislator Project.
  • Secondary: the organization (Concerned Women for America) and its local/state leadership, who would receive public acknowledgement.

Procedural/timeline information (from provided metadata)

  • Introduced: February 24, 2025
  • Received by Secretary of the Senate: 2025‑02‑24
  • Read & adopted: 2025‑02‑26 (vote recorded)
  • Referred/placed on calendars and consent calendars in March–April 2025 (various entries)
  • Enrolled: 2025‑06‑08; signed by the President of the Senate and transmitted to the Secretary of State on 2025‑06‑05
  • Sponsors listed: John F. Kennedy (primary) and Beth Mizell (primary)

These entries indicate the resolution moved quickly through the chamber and was adopted and enrolled in mid‑2025.

Legal effect and impact

  • Ceremonial only: no legal force beyond formal recognition. It does not create duties, appropriations, or changes to law.
  • Symbolic impact: recognizes civic engagement, can be used by the organization for publicity and acknowledgment of volunteers.

Important note on document inconsistency

The body of the document you supplied contains multiple unrelated resolution texts (a Kentucky memorial resolution for James Thomas Clark, an Illinois congratulatory resolution for Dulcelandia’s 30th anniversary, and a Georgia commendation for Lebreda Brown). These appear to be fragments from different SR 157 documents from various jurisdictions. Before finalizing any citation or distribution, please confirm:
- The correct jurisdiction (state) and chamber for SR 157;
- The final enrolled text for the SR 157 that commends CWA’s Encourage‑A‑Legislator Project.

If you provide the confirmed enrolled text or the state/chamber, I can produce a finalized summary tied precisely to that document.
