Summary of SR 619 (104th Illinois General Assembly)

Purpose and intent

  • SR 619 is a memorial resolution recognizing and honoring Diane K. Rutledge. As a memorial (not a bill to enact law), its primary purpose is commemorative—acknowledging the life, achievements, and contributions of Diane K. Rutledge and expressing respect or remembrance on behalf of the Senate.

Key provisions and changes

  • Status: Memorial resolution; does not create, amend, or repeal statutes or state policies.
  • Content typically included in memorials: a biographical sketch (birth, education, career highlights), notable community or professional contributions, public service, and any specific honors or roles held by the individual.
  • Sponsorship:
    • Primary sponsor listed for the resolution.
    • Co-sponsor: Steve McClure (as provided).
  • Language and format: Standard memorial resolution language memorializing or recognizing an individual, suitable for official Senate records and public ceremonies. May include a formal expression of sympathy or appreciation from the Senate.

Who or what would be affected

  • Individuals and entities: Diane K. Rutledge is the honoree of the memorial; the bill acknowledges her impact and legacy.
  • Legislative record: Senate proceedings, official journals, and public statements of recognition.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Type: Non-binding memorial resolution.
  • Calibration: Requires passage by the Illinois Senate; may be transmitted to relevant parties or family as part of ceremonial acknowledgment.
  • Effective date: Typically takes effect upon adoption or the date specified in the resolution; there is no regulatory or fiscal impact.
  • Fiscal impact: None anticipated or specified, as memorials generally do not authorize spending or policy changes.

Notable considerations

  • Since SR 619 is commemorative, readers should understand its role as a formal tribute rather than a policy or funding instrument.
  • The resolution contributes to the historical record by documenting formal recognition of an individual’s contributions within the state.
