Summary — HCR 12 (Concurrent Resolution)

Title: COMMENDATIONS: Commends Bryan Beam on the occasion of his retirement from service on the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury
Classification: Concurrent resolution
Introduced: August 19, 2025
Current status (as provided): Taken by the Clerk of the House and presented to the Secretary of State in accordance with the Rules of the House.

Purpose / Intent

This concurrent resolution is an honorary measure intended to recognize and commend Bryan Beam for his retirement from service on the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury. Its purpose is ceremonial: to acknowledge Mr. Beam’s public service and to record the Legislature’s appreciation.

Key provisions and changes

  • Official commendation and expression of gratitude to Bryan Beam for his service on the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury.
  • No policy changes, statutory amendments, or regulatory effects are included.
  • As a concurrent resolution, it is intended for adoption by both chambers (House and Senate) and may be recorded in official legislative journals or transmitted to the honoree and relevant local officials.

Who is affected

  • Primary: Bryan Beam (the retiree being honored).
  • Secondary: Calcasieu Parish Police Jury and the local community as the resolution publicly recognizes local government service.
  • Government operations: None—this is an honorary measure and does not direct agencies, appropriate funds, or create legally binding obligations.

Fiscal and legal impact

  • Honorary concurrent resolutions typically have no fiscal impact. There is no appropriation, regulatory change, or legal effect on state or local budgets.
  • If a formal fiscal note is required, it would be expected to state “no fiscal impact.”

Procedural / timeline notes

  • Introduced August 19, 2025.
  • According to the provided status, the Clerk of the House took the adopted resolution and presented it to the Secretary of State under House rules — indicating completion of the legislative process for an adopted resolution.
  • Because it is a concurrent resolution, adoption by both chambers is customary; presentation to the Secretary of State suggests final administrative processing.

Important caveat about provided materials

The materials supplied with your request include multiple, unrelated HCR 12 documents from different states (examples: an Idaho resolution commending Boise State’s 2024 football season; a Hawaii resolution urging EPA funding for Honolulu wastewater upgrades; a Kentucky adjournment resolution). Those appear to be distinct bills sharing the same short identifier (HCR 12) in different jurisdictions and are not part of the Calcasieu Parish commendation. If you want the exact text, vote record, or chamber-by-chamber status for the Bryan Beam resolution, please confirm the state (or provide the bill text) and I will produce a targeted summary with precise procedural details.
