Purpose

HC 59 is a ceremonial concurrent resolution that formally honors the life and public service of the Honorable Robert George Clark, Jr. upon his death.

  • Formal statement of sympathy and condolence to his surviving family and associates.
  • Direction that the resolution be spread upon the journals of the legislative chambers as a permanent record of the body’s recognition.

(As a ceremonial/concurrent resolution, HC 59 contains only honorary language and no substantive legal, regulatory, or fiscal provisions.)
