Purpose and intent
- The resolution’s primary purpose is ceremonial: to formally express the condolences of the House of Representatives on the death of David Bernard Meyers.
- Such resolutions honor the deceased, recognize his life or service (if applicable), and express sympathy to family, friends, and communities.
Key provisions and effects
- As a condolence/memorial House resolution, H.R. 302 is non‑binding and does not create legal rights, obligations, or appropriations.
- Typical elements expected in this resolution (based on standard practice and the bill title) include:
- A brief statement mourning the passing of David Bernard Meyers.
- Recognition of his life, service, or contributions (if specific biographical details are included in the final text).
- Expression of sympathy to his family and associates.
- Often an administrative clause authorizing the Clerk to forward an enrolled copy of the resolution to the family or other designee.
- There are no regulatory or programmatic changes associated with this type of resolution.
Who is affected
- Directly affected: primarily symbolic — the family, friends, and community of David Bernard Meyers (the resolution conveys the House’s official condolences).
- Indirectly affected: the membership of the House (through the act of adopting and entering the condolence into the official record).
- No fiscal, administrative, or public‑policy impact on agencies, businesses, or the public.
Procedural/timeline notes and recommendations
- The supplied record shows introduction on Jan 9, 2025 and later entries indicating adoption/enrollment and presentation to the Secretary of State in June 2025. However, the document package also contains multiple unrelated texts (see below), producing inconsistent procedural traces.
- Recommendation: if you need definitive current status or the exact adopted text, consult the official House clerk/legislative web site or the enrolled resolution as transmitted on June 11, 2025.
Document discrepancies (important)
- The provided “Document Content” includes several different H.R. 302 texts from different jurisdictions and topics (e.g., an Alabama commendation for Fire Chief Clay Bentley, an Illinois resolution about the Special Olympics delegation, and a Georgia memorial for Jimmy Chang). These are distinct resolutions that share the same bill number in their respective legislatures or drafts.
- Because of those mixed texts, the only reliable facts for this summary are: the primary Bill Information you supplied (title expressing condolences for David Bernard Meyers), the classification as a resolution, and the introduction date. Verify the jurisdiction and request the final enrolled text if you need a verbatim version or confirmation of any specific biographical language included in the resolution.
