Summary of Bill J 1253

Overview

  • Bill Number: J 1253
  • Title: Commending John T. Golden, Sr., posthumously, upon the occasion of his designation as recipient of a Liberty Medal, the highest honor bestowed upon an individual by the New York State Senate
  • Type: Resolution (non-binding ceremonial measure)
  • Status: Referred to Finance
  • Introduced: July 11, 2025
  • Sponsor: James Tedisco (primary)

Purpose and Intent

  • The bill would formally commend and honor John T. Golden, Sr., posthumously, in connection with his designation as a recipient of the Liberty Medal.
  • It frames the Liberty Medal as the highest honor bestowed by the New York State Senate, and the resolution serves to publicly recognize Mr. Golden’s designation.

Key Provisions

  • The resolution would:
    • Officially commend John T. Golden, Sr., posthumously.
    • Acknowledge his designation as a Liberty Medal recipient.
    • Express the Senate’s appreciation and recognition for the honoree.
  • As a resolution, the measure does not create or amend law, nor does it authorize an expenditure or impose new legal obligations.

Affected Parties

  • Primary honoree: John T. Golden, Sr. (posthumously)
  • Immediate impact: Public recognition by the New York State Senate; acknowledgement by the Senate and its members.
  • Broad impact: Public awareness of the honoree’s achievement; potential familial and community recognition.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • Introduced on July 11, 2025 and immediately referred to the Committee on Finance.
  • Legislative actions show the same date for the referral, indicating initial committee consideration.
  • As a resolution, floor action would follow if the Finance committee advances the measure; otherwise, it would not become law.

Fiscal Implications

  • There is no explicit bill language indicating any appropriation or monetary expenditure.
  • Resolutions typically incur minimal, if any, administrative costs (printing, publication and ceremonial actions) unless the committee identifies specific expenditures. The Finance referral suggests review for any potential fiscal impact, but none is stated in the provided information.

Additional Notes

  • Sponsor: James Tedisco is listed as the primary sponsor.
  • The bill reflects ceremonial recognition rather than policy or regulatory change. It serves to publicly acknowledge and honor the honoree on behalf of the Senate.
