Summary: Bill J 300 — Commending Dave Fontaine for 24 years of service to Utica University

Overview

Bill J 300 is a ceremonial resolution that commends Dave Fontaine for 24 years of service to Utica University. The bill is currently classified as adopted, indicating it has been approved by the legislative body. The sponsor is primary sponsor Joseph A. Griffo.

Purpose and intent

  • The primary purpose of J 300 is to publicly recognize and commend Dave Fontaine for his 24 years of service to Utica University.
  • As a resolution, the bill serves as an official expression of appreciation and acknowledgment rather than establishing new laws or policies or creating fiscal obligations.

Key provisions

  • Explicitly honors Dave Fontaine for his long-term dedication to Utica University.
  • Articulates the legislature’s recognition of his contributions to the university and its community (typical language for ceremonial resolutions; the exact wording is not provided in the summary).

Who is affected

  • Dave Fontaine (the honoree).
  • Utica University, as the institution associated with the service being recognized.
  • The broader university and local community, which may view the resolution as a gesture of goodwill and community ties.

Procedural history and timeline

  • Introduced: January 30, 2025.
  • Initial referral: January 30, 2025 to the Finance committee (standard for many resolutions).
  • Actions on February 11, 2025:
    • Reported to calendar for consideration.
    • Adopted (the resolution approved by the legislative body).
  • Notable notes:
    • The record shows multiple entries for certain steps (e.g., repeated “reported to calendar” and “adopted” entries on February 11, 2025), which may reflect standard procedural tracking across chambers or multiple readings; the net result is adoption on that date.

Sponsor

  • Primary sponsor: Joseph A. Griffo.

Fiscal and regulatory impact

  • As a resolution recognizing an individual’s service, J 300 typically does not authorize spending or create regulatory requirements.
  • No fiscal impact is anticipated beyond symbolic recognition.
