Summary — Senate Resolution 341 (SR 341)

Status: Resolution Adopted
Introduced: March 26, 2025
Classification: Resolution

Overview / Purpose

SR 341 is a ceremonial Senate resolution that (1) recognizes and commends the Atlanta Apartment Association on its 50th anniversary and (2) contains memorial language mourning the death of Glennon H. Paul, M.D. The resolution is symbolic in nature and does not create or change legal rights or obligations.

Note: The bill text as filed contains two distinct, unrelated resolutions combined in a single document — one honoring the Atlanta Apartment Association (Georgia context) and a separate memorial for Dr. Glennon H. Paul (Illinois context). The summary below treats both sections as they appear in the official version.

Key Provisions

  1. Recognition of the Atlanta Apartment Association (AAA)

    • Acknowledges AAA’s continuous service since 1975 representing multifamily housing providers and professionals in Georgia.
    • Credits the Association with promoting best practices, professional development, housing accessibility, job creation, and community quality of life.
    • Highlights AAA’s philanthropic impact: members have contributed more than 140 million meals to the Atlanta Community Food Bank through a long-running partnership — described as one of the nation’s largest annual food drives of its kind.
    • Commends the organization on its 50th anniversary and extends best wishes for continued success.
    • Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare an appropriate copy of the resolution for distribution to the Atlanta Apartment Association.

  2. Memorial for Glennon H. Paul, M.D.

    • Expresses sorrow at Dr. Paul’s death on May 12, 2025.
    • Summarizes biographical and career highlights: born July 14, 1941 (St. Louis, MO); education at St. Louis College of Pharmacy and the University of Missouri (medical school); internship/residency and board certifications in Internal Medicine and Allergy & Immunology (University of Washington); service as a medical officer with the U.S. Public Health Service/Coast Guard; founder of the Central Illinois Allergy and Respiratory Center (1974) and practicing physician until retirement in May 2016.
    • Notes contributions: teaching at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, authoring books, and holding a patent for a sinus screener device.
    • Extends condolences to surviving family members and directs that a suitable copy of the resolution be presented to Dr. Paul’s family.

Who Is Affected

  • Atlanta Apartment Association, its members, and the communities they serve in Georgia (ceremonial recognition and commendation).
  • Atlanta Community Food Bank (recognition of a major philanthropic partnership).
  • Family, colleagues, and community of Dr. Glennon H. Paul (ceremonial condolence and memorial).
  • No statutory or regulatory entities are directly affected because this is a non-binding, honorary resolution.

Procedural / Timeline Notes

  • Introduced/Received by Secretary of the Senate: March 26, 2025
  • Read & Adopted (Senate): March 31, 2025; Vote recorded in Journal same day; Reported enrolled March 31, 2025
  • Additional entries show filing and co-sponsorship actions on May 22, 2025 (Co-Sponsor: All Senators; referred to Resolutions Consent Calendar; Resolution Adopted).
  • Sponsors (primary): Kenya Wicks; Sally Harrell; Kim Jackson; Brian Strickland; Matt Brass; Josh McLaurin; Russ Goodman; Harold Jones II; Tonya Anderson; Gail Davenport.

Impact and Significance

  • The resolution is purely commemorative: it honors institutional achievement (AAA’s 50th anniversary) and expresses legislative condolences (memorial for Dr. Paul).
  • It provides formal recognition that can be used by the Association and Dr. Paul’s family for historical or commemorative purposes but imposes no legal or fiscal obligations.

Additional Note on Document Consistency

  • The merged inclusion of an Atlanta-focused anniversary resolution and an Illinois memorial for Dr. Paul appears to combine two unrelated ceremonial resolutions in the same document. Readers should be aware these are distinct recognitions with separate subjects and geographic contexts.
