Who is affected / impact

  • Primary subject: Anne Flanigan Bassi (honorary recognition).
  • Community impact: symbolic recognition of local public‑service contributions; no legal, regulatory, or fiscal effects. The resolution is purely ceremonial.

Procedural / timeline notes

  • Introduced: March 13, 2025.
  • Read & adopted in the Senate: March 19, 2025 (various entries indicate Senate reading/adoption and enrollment on March 19; additional internal assignment and consent-calendar actions occurred in May 2025).
  • Reported enrolled: March 19, 2025.
  • Final status recorded: Resolution Adopted.

Administrative note

The enrolled/resolution text as provided also contains language from a separate congratulatory resolution recognizing Dr. Layli Maparyan on her induction as the 16th President of the University of Liberia. That portion appears to be a distinct, unrelated commendation and does not alter the substantive, ceremonial purpose of SR 276 with respect to Anne Flanigan Bassi.
