Bill
S 287
Designates the federal building at 225 S. Pierre St., Pierre, SD as the Marcella LeBeau Federal Building; a symbolic name change with minimal cost.
Summary and note on source material
The materials you provided appear to contain fragments of multiple, different bills and inconsistent metadata. The top-level bill header and status (S 287 — “Establishes a distinctive plate honoring Eagle Scouts”, Referred to Transportation, introduced Jan 28, 2025) do not match the bill texts included. The document text actually contains at least two distinct measures:
Below are concise, separate summaries of each identifiable measure and a note about the missing Eagle Scouts plate bill.
Purpose
- To designate the federal building at 225 South Pierre Street, Pierre, South Dakota, as the “Marcella LeBeau Federal Building.”
Key provisions
- Section 2(a): Officially names the building the “Marcella LeBeau Federal Building.”
- Section 2(b): Stipulates that any reference to that Federal building in laws, maps, regulations, documents, or records shall be deemed to reference the new name.
Who is affected
- Federal property records, signage, maps, and any agency offices located in that building; nominal administrative/ceremonial change only — no programmatic funding or authority changes.
Procedural status (from provided material)
- Introduced in the Senate Jan 28, 2025 (sponsors Rounds and Thune) and referred to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. The committee reportedly ordered the measure to be reported without amendment (documents show committee action dated Oct 29, 2025). (Note: dates in the record are inconsistent; confirm with the Senate calendar for final status.)
Impact
- Symbolic recognition honoring Marcella LeBeau; minimal fiscal or operational impact beyond costs to update signage and records.
Purpose
- To modify state law governing horse riding instructors by repealing Section 2A of chapter 128 of the Massachusetts General Laws.
Key provisions
- The bill text is short: it repeals section 2A of chapter 128. The content of that repealed section is not included in the material you provided, so the exact regulatory or licensing change must be confirmed by checking current Chapter 128, §2A (likely related to licensure or registration of riding instructors or equestrian instruction).
Who is affected
- Horse riding instructors, equestrian facilities, and possibly consumer-protection or professional licensing agencies in Massachusetts. Repeal could remove a licensing requirement or an existing statutory rule — the downstream effect depends on the current text of §2A.
Procedural status (from provided material)
- Filed/petitioned by Sen. Bruce E. Tarr and cosponsors; referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure. Additional entries in your materials suggest Senate docketing and dates, but verify on the Massachusetts General Court site for final status and amendments.
Impact
- Potentially removes or alters a statutory requirement governing horse riding instructors in Massachusetts — could affect credentialing, business operations, insurance, and consumer protections depending on what §2A currently requires.
Please clarify which specific bill you want summarized (federal S.287 building naming, Massachusetts Senate No. 287 on horse riding instructors, or the Eagle Scouts plate measure) and provide the correct bill text or citation. I can then produce a single, focused summary with full details.
