Summary of HR 845 (104th Illinois General Assembly) – MEMORIAL-KALEB DEER

Note: The following summary is based on the bill’s title and typical legislative patterns for a memorial bill. If you have access to the full text, I can refine details precisely.

Purpose and Intent

  • The bill is designated as a memorial (recognition or tribute) rather than a substantive law establishing new programs or changing regulations.
  • Sponsored in part by La Shawn Ford (Co-sponsor) and associated with the Illinois General Assembly, the memorial presumably honors an individual, organization, or event related to “Kaleb Deer” (or a similarly weighted spelling variation) and/or memorializes an aspect of the community, history, or public service linked to that name.
  • As a memorial, its primary aim is to acknowledge significance, convey respect, or commemorate contributions or remembrance within the state’s legislative record, rather than to impose new duties on government agencies or private actors.

Key Provisions and Changes

  • Establishes a formal legislative recognition of Kaleb Deer (or the subject named in the memorial) by the Illinois General Assembly.
  • May specify:
    • The reasons for recognition (e.g., public service, bravery, community impact, or historical significance).
    • A statement of appreciation or tribute to the individual or group.
    • Instructions to the Secretary of State or appropriate legislative staff to transmit copies of the memorial resolution to family, heirs, or relevant institutions.
  • Typically, memorials include a preamble outlining the subject’s achievements and a concluding resolution expressing condolences or congratulations, as applicable.
  • No provision is expected to create ongoing programs, funding, or regulatory requirements.

Who/What Is Affected

  • The primary audience is the Illinois General Assembly and the constituents connected to the memorial’s subject.
  • No new regulatory obligations imposed on state agencies, local governments, businesses, or individuals.
  • The memorial becomes part of the official legislative record and may be cited in future commemorations or historical references.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • As a memorial bill, the process generally follows standard legislative steps for nonbinding resolutions:
    • Introduction and assignment to a committee (often a rules or government and administration-type committee).
    • Committee consideration and potential approval.
    • Floor debate and passage by both chambers (House and Senate) of the Illinois General Assembly.
    • Final signature by the Governor is typically not required for memorials, though the formal rule is that memorials are not laws but are recorded in the journals.
  • Timelines for memorials are usually linked to the legislative session calendar; there may be a specific memorial date or event related to Kaleb Deer, if named in the text.
  • As a 104th Session bill, it would adhere to the session’s calendar and any adjournment plans.

Potential Impact

  • Symbolic value: Provides formal recognition and honors the subject within state records.
  • Public awareness: Raises visibility of the subject’s contributions or significance to Illinois communities.
  • No fiscal impact, regulatory change, or enforcement implications are typically associated with memorial resolutions.

If you can provide the full text or confirm the exact spelling (e.g., Kaleb Deer or Kaleb Dea/Deer), I can produce a more precise, line-by-line summary of provisions and any dates, names, or specific tributes included.
