Bill
J 1262
A New York State Senate resolution commends Michele AnneMarie Kinsell posthumously for receiving the Liberty Medal, a ceremonial honor with no new funding or authority.
Purpose and scope
- This is a New York State Senate resolution that commends Michele AnneMarie Kinsell posthumously on the occasion of her designation as a recipient of the Liberty Medal, described in the title as the highest honor bestowed by the New York State Senate.
- The bill is classified as a resolution and does not authorize any new programs or funding beyond formal recognition.
Key provisions
- The central provision is a formal expression of commendation and recognition by the New York State Senate for Michele AnneMarie Kinsell in connection with her being named a Liberty Medal recipient.
- No explicit appropriations or new authorities are stated within the provided text; the resolution’s effect is ceremonial recognition by the Senate.
Sponsors and status
- Primary sponsor: Senator Robert Rolison.
- Status: Referred to the Finance committee. The bill’s content suggests standard ceremonial language typical of a commemorative resolution; the referral to Finance does not necessarily imply an anticipated cost, but it places the measure within the committee tasked with fiscal considerations.
Procedural and timeline notes
- Introduced: August 11, 2025.
- Legislative actions indicate the bill was referred to the Finance committee on August 11, 2025 (duplicated entry in the record likely a clerical duplication).
- As a resolution, typical next steps would involve committee review by Finance, potential amendments, and floor consideration by the Senate. Adoption would be by senate vote; no governor’s action is required for ordinary ceremonial resolutions.
Affected parties
- Michele AnneMarie Kinsell is the primary beneficiary of the commending resolution (posthumous recognition).
- The New York State Senate would issue the formal commendation, potentially accompanied by ceremonial language suitable for a resolution presented in the Senate’s official records.
Notes
- The provided information does not include the text of the resolution or any accompanying memorials, nor does it specify the date of the Liberty Medal designation or the event at which the recognition would be presented. The emphasis remains on ceremonial recognition by the Senate.
