Summary — HJR 23 (Enrolled): “Recognizing Alabama FCCLA’s 2025 Make‑A‑Wish Project”

Purpose

This joint resolution formally recognizes and commends the Alabama Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) for its work on the organization’s 2025 Make‑A‑Wish service project. It is a ceremonial measure intended to honor participants’ community service, leadership, and positive impact on children with critical illnesses and their families.

Key provisions / language

  • Finds and recites that Alabama FCCLA demonstrated outstanding commitment, compassion, leadership, creativity, and collaboration in the 2025 Make‑A‑Wish service project.
  • Commends and congratulates Alabama FCCLA state officers, members, advisers, and volunteers for their exemplary service and contribution to the Make‑A‑Wish Foundation.
  • Encourages Alabama FCCLA to continue empowering youth and serving those in need.

No regulatory changes, policy mandates, or appropriations are included. The resolution is purely honorary.

Who is affected

  • Directly honored: Alabama FCCLA state officers, members, advisers, and volunteers.
  • Beneficiaries: children and families served by the Make‑A‑Wish Foundation in Alabama and local communities that were impacted by the project.
  • Practically unaffected: state law, agencies, budgets, and third parties are not changed by this resolution.

Procedural / timeline aspects

  • The enrolled version shows legislative action in early 2025 (first read in February 2025; passed both houses and enrolled). The enrolled document bears certification of passage in the House on Feb. 6, 2025, and receipt in the Senate on Feb. 13, 2025; it was enrolled/delivered and noted as enacted Feb. 18, 2025 in the provided materials.
  • As an adopted joint resolution, it reflects concurrence of both legislative chambers and serves as an official, nonbinding commendation.

Fiscal impact

  • None. This is a ceremonial resolution and does not appropriate funds or impose expenditures.

Notes / document inconsistencies

  • The materials supplied include text and legislative actions that appear to mix two different measures: (a) Alabama HJR 23 — the commendation for Alabama FCCLA (described above), and (b) an Illinois House Joint Resolution (HJ0023) declaring August 27, 2025 “Hero Day.” Those are separate, jurisdictionally distinct resolutions. This summary focuses on the Alabama HJR 23 enrolled text recognizing FCCLA; the “Hero Day” language appears to be from a different state's resolution and is not part of the Alabama commendation.
  • Related bill listed: HJR 14 (companion).
