Resolution Adopted

Summary of HR 761 (104th Illinois General Assembly)

Title

MEMORIAL-MIA WEBSTER-CROSS

Purpose and intent

This is a memorial bill, meaning its primary function is to recognize, honor, or memorialize an individual or event rather than to enact enforceable law.

Sponsored in the Illinois House with a co-sponsor (Will Davis). Memorial resolutions typically express the General Assembly’s respect and condolences, reflect on the contributions or significance of the named individual, and may request appropriate actions by state agencies or organizations.

As a memorial, it does not create new programs, funding, or regulatory requirements. Instead, it serves as an official expression of the legislature’s sentiments and can provide historical or commemorative acknowledgement.

Key provisions and changes

Formal designation: The bill names MIA Webster-Cross for memorial recognition.

Legislative actions: Likely to adopt a preamble or resolution stating the reasons for recognition, summarize the person’s life, achievements, or impact on the community or state, and record the General Assembly’s respect.

No new statutory duties or appropriations: Memorial resolutions generally do not authorize spending or regulatory changes.

Who or what would be affected

The recognition affects:

The individual named (MIA Webster-Cross) in terms of statewide acknowledgment.
The Illinois General Assembly’s official records and proceedings.
Potential public awareness or formal commemorations within the state (e.g., ceremonies, moments of remembrance).

There are typically no direct compliance requirements, mandates, or impacts on private entities or state agencies beyond the symbolic acknowledgment.

Procedural and timeline aspects

Introduction and passage process: As a memorial resolution, it would follow the standard House procedures for introducing, debating, and approving memorials.

Sponsors: Primary sponsor (unnamed in the provided excerpt) with a listed co-sponsor (Will Davis).

Effective date: Memorial resolutions become part of the official record once adopted; there is no separate effective date for implementation or enforcement since they are symbolic.

Potential for concurrent recognition: If similar memorials exist (e.g., in the Senate or other bodies), there may be related resolutions or commemorations.

Notes
