Purpose and intent

HC 45 is a ceremonial concurrent resolution that formally commends Gracelynn Batte for representing the United States in taekwondo at the UTA Competition. The resolution expresses the legislature’s recognition and appreciation of Batte’s athletic achievement and service as a representative of the nation in a sporting event.

Key provisions

  • A formal commendation of Gracelynn Batte for representing the United States at the UTA Competition in taekwondo.
  • Language typical of such resolutions (congratulatory and commendatory statements) recognizing Batte’s accomplishments, dedication, and the distinction brought to the State and its communities.
  • No regulatory, budgetary, or enforcement provisions — this is an expression of the legislature’s sentiment rather than a law.

Who is affected

  • Directly: Gracelynn Batte — the honoree of the resolution.
  • Indirectly: Batte’s family, coaches, teammates, educational or athletic institutions, and the local community — the resolution publicly acknowledges and elevates their association with her achievement.
  • Government operations and the public budget are not affected; the resolution does not create rights, duties, appropriations, or legal obligations.

Procedural timeline and status

  • 2025-02-13: Introduced and referred to Rules.
  • 2025-02-25: Recorded action — "Title Suff Do Be Adopted" (administrative step adopting the resolution’s title/sufficiency).
  • 2025-03-03: Adopted by the originating chamber; immediate release and transmitted to the Senate.
  • 2025-03-04: Referred to Rules (Senate or administrative referral).
  • 2025-03-05: "Title Suff Do Be Adopted" again recorded.

  • 2025-03-07: Returned for enrolling (final clerical preparation).

Note: As a concurrent resolution, HC 45 is a formal, non-binding legislative expression that is typically adopted by both chambers. It is not sent to the governor for signature and does not have the force of law.

Likely impact

  • Symbolic and reputational: provides public recognition that can support Batte’s athletic and professional profile, boost community pride, and encourage youth athletics.
  • No fiscal or regulatory impact.
  • Serves as an official record of the legislature’s commendation for archival and publicity purposes.
