Purpose

SC 510 is a ceremonial concurrent resolution formally expressing the Mississippi Legislature’s condolences to the surviving family of Representative Andy Stepp, who is described in the resolution as a first‑year member of the Mississippi House. The resolution conveys the Senate’s (and, by concurrence, the Legislature’s) sympathy and recognition of Rep. Stepp’s service.

  • Recognizes Rep. Stepp’s service as a first‑year Representative (language as set forth in the resolution).
  • Typically such resolutions: ask that copies of the resolution be transmitted to the family and be entered into the legislative record (the enrolled text in this case is the formal expression of these sentiments).
  • There are no statutory changes, appropriations, or regulatory directives contained in the resolution.

Who is affected / impact
