Bill
SR 466
SR 466 includes two resolutions: Georgia honors Ja'Karil Fegans as an Eagle Scout for his service project; Illinois memorializes Marvin E. McClure with condolences to his family.
Note up front: the available record for SR 466 appears to contain text from two distinct, jurisdictionally separate Senate resolutions that were merged in the file. One is a Georgia Senate resolution commending an Eagle Scout (sponsored by Senator Derek Mallow). The other is an Illinois Senate memorial resolution mourning the death of Marvin Eugene McClure (associated with Senator Neil Anderson and the Illinois Senate). The summary below separates and summarizes each resolution, then highlights procedural/timeline items and flags inconsistencies for verification.
Purpose and intent
- To formally commend and congratulate Ja'Karil Fegans for attaining the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America.
Key provisions
- Recognizes Fegans as a Life Scout of Boy Scout Troop No. 1 at First Presbyterian Church of Savannah.
- Notes the rigor required to become an Eagle Scout and commends his demonstrated proficiency in scouting skills.
- Acknowledges Troop Leader James Lee for guidance.
- Describes Fegans’s Eagle Scout service project: construction of outdoor benches for Bethesda Academy in Chatham County (Savannah), Georgia.
- Highlights Fegans’s community involvement: Junior Usher and aspiring Deacon at First African Baptist Church of East Savannah, and member of the Junior Varsity basketball team at Bethesda Academy.
- Directs the Secretary of the Senate to make an appropriate copy of the resolution available to Ja'Karil Fegans.
Who is affected
- Ja'Karil Fegans (primary honoree), his troop and leaders, Bethesda Academy, and local community congregations and scouting community.
Impact
- Formal recognition on the Senate record; symbolic honor intended to acknowledge leadership and service.
Purpose and intent
- To mourn the passing of Marvin Eugene McClure of Macomb, IL, extend condolences to his family and present a suitable copy of the resolution to his family.

These multiple dates and actions suggest either multiple procedural events for different resolutions or merged records across jurisdictions.
If you want, I can produce two separate printable one-page summaries formatted for distribution (one for the Eagle Scout commendation and one for the McClure memorial), or fetch authoritative legislative-source links if you provide the state or chamber to query.
