Summary of SR 722 (Illinois, 104th Session)

Purpose and intent

  • SR 722 is a Senate Resolution that commends individuals Philip Lewis and Maureen Lewis.
  • The bill is a non-binding expression of recognition and appreciation from the Illinois Senate.

Key provisions and changes

  • The resolution formally acknowledges and praises Philip Lewis and Maureen Lewis for their contributions or achievements, as determined by the sponsor.
  • It designates the commemoration within the Senate record and serves as an official courtesy from the Senate to the named individuals.
  • The text typically includes a brief description of the commendable actions, service, or impact of the honorees, followed by a formal resolution expressing best wishes.

Affected parties

  • Primary beneficiaries: Philip Lewis and Maureen Lewis, who receive formal recognition from the Illinois Senate.
  • Secondary beneficiaries: The public record and community members who are interested in recognizing local or state contributions; includes family, colleagues, and supporters of the honorees.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • As a concurrent or Senate resolution, SR 722 is typically introduced by a sponsor (in this case, primary sponsor not explicitly listed in the prompt) and co-sponsored by Seth Lewis.
  • The resolution would proceed through the standard legislative resolution process for the Illinois Senate, which may involve committee consideration and floor adoption, though such resolutions generally do not require substantive policy changes or appropriations.
  • No fiscal impact or statutory changes are implied by a recognition resolution; it remains a ceremonial act.
  • The exact date of adoption, text, and any accompanying statements would be recorded in the official Senate journal if/when passed.

Notes

  • The bill’s formal designation as SR 722 indicates it is a Senate Resolution, not a bill intended to create or amend law.
  • The co-sponsorship by Seth Lewis suggests bipartisan or cross-senate recognition, depending on the chamber's composition and voting.
