Summary — HR 2004: Fred Shulski; death resolution

Purpose

HR 2004 is a ceremonial resolution expressing the Arizona House of Representatives’ regret at the death of Dr. Fred P. Shulski, Jr. and extending condolences to his surviving family. It memorializes his life, professional service, volunteer work and community contributions.

Key provisions

  • Recites biographical details of Dr. Fred P. Shulski, Jr. (born May 19, 1969; passed away December 10, 2024, age 55).
  • Describes his education (biology at Appalachian State University; M.D. from East Carolina University Brody School of Medicine), medical training (pediatrics residency at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix), and 23-year career as a pediatrician at MVP Kids Care.
  • Notes personal details: marriage to Melissa (27 years) and three children (Hannah, Paul and Claire).
  • Highlights volunteer and civic service: team physician for local high schools, board membership at Catholic Charities, chief of staff at Maryvale Hospital, and volunteer work at St. John Vianney Catholic School and Ronald McDonald House.
  • Concludes with the House expressing sincere regret and extending deepest sympathies to his family.

Who is affected

  • Primarily a ceremonial acknowledgement affecting Dr. Shulski’s family, friends, colleagues, patients and the communities he served.
  • No regulatory, statutory or funding changes; no direct impact on third parties beyond the formal expression of sympathy and public recordation of the Legislature’s condolence.

Procedural history and timeline

  • Introduced: March 10, 2025.
  • Referred to: House Committee on Energy and Commerce (record shows same-day referral).
  • Passed (Unanimously Adopted by the House): March 24, 2025. House first and second readings were waived that day.
  • Transmitted to Secretary of State / Filed: March 24, 2025.
  • Versions: Introduced and House Engrossed texts are substantively the same.

Sponsors and related materials

  • The provided sponsor list includes multiple U.S. House members (with Representative Ted Lieu listed as primary). The resolution text and procedural actions indicate this is an Arizona State House resolution. There appears to be a discrepancy between the state resolution document and the supplied sponsor list (which resembles federal congressional cosponsors). This summary reports both as provided but does not attempt to reconcile them.
  • Related bill listed: S 921 (companion) — relationship unclear from available text.

Fiscal and legal impact

  • No fiscal impact, appropriation, or change to state law. The measure is purely honorary/ceremonial and creates no enforceable obligations.

If you want, I can: (1) produce a short press-ready version for public release, (2) verify whether a companion or similar federal resolution exists, or (3) reconcile the sponsor list with state vs. federal records.
