Summary of SR 1317 — MEMORIAL-HENRY SOUDERS

SR 1317 is a Senate memorial resolution recognizing and honoring Henry Souders. It is a ceremonial, non-binding measure and does not create new laws or authorize spending. The resolution was introduced early January 2025 and was adopted later that week.

Purpose and Intent

  • To memorialize and publicly recognize Henry Souders for his contributions and impact.
  • To express respect, appreciation, and condolences (as appropriate) on behalf of the Senate.
  • To provide a formal record of esteem and remembrance within the legislative body.

Key Provisions and Changes

  • Formal recognition of Henry Souders by the Senate.
  • Statements typically included in memorial resolutions may encompass a biographical sketch, highlights of public or community service, and notes on character and contributions.
  • Administrative actions that often accompany memorial resolutions (though specifics are not provided here) may include transmission of the resolution to family or descendants and publication in official records. No changes to statutes, appropriations, or policy are anticipated, as this is a ceremonial measure.

Who Is Affected

  • Henry Souders (the person being memorialized) and his family or descendants.
  • The Senate and its members, who officially acknowledge and commemorate his contributions.
  • The broader community that may view the resolution as a gesture of recognition or remembrance.

Additional Notes

  • The “MEMORIAL” designation indicates a ceremonial purpose rather than a policy or legal change.
  • The swift progression from introduction to adoption (Jan 3 to Jan 7) suggests broad support and a straightforward acknowledgement.

If you’d like, I can tailor this summary to focus on potential biographical details of Henry Souders (if you provide them) or compare this memorial to similar resolutions in the same chamber.
