Summary — SR 484

Bill number: SR 484
Title: MEMORIAL — MICHAEL L. DAILEY (record also includes an unrelated congratulatory resolution)
Classification: Senate resolution
Status: Resolution Adopted
Introduced: May 1, 2025 (records show actions across March–October 2025)

Note: the legislative record provided appears to include text from two distinct Senate resolutions that were combined in the file: (A) a Georgia Senate resolution congratulating the Savannah State University men’s basketball team for the 2025 SIAC championship (sponsored by Senators Derek Mallow, Billy Hickman and Ben Watson), and (B) an Illinois Senate memorial resolution honoring Michael Lee “Mike” Dailey (associated with the Illinois Senate and listing Neil Anderson among sponsors). Both are resolutions (ceremonial/expressive), not statutes.

Purpose and intent

  • Memorial for Michael Lee “Mike” Dailey: to mourn his passing, extend condolences to his family and friends, and direct that a suitable copy of the resolution be presented to his family.
  • Congratulatory resolution for Savannah State University men’s basketball team: to formally congratulate the team for winning the 2025 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) Tournament Championship and to extend best wishes for continued success.

Key provisions / content

  • Michael L. Dailey memorial:
    • Notes Dailey’s biography: born June 19, 1964 (Canton); U.S. Marine Corps service; education at Western Illinois University and degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Illinois; worked as a mechanical engineer at Western Illinois University; married to Sue Ulmer.
    • Mentions personal interests (woodworking, water activities, Hot Wheels collecting), family survivors (wife Sue; mother Marie Gage; daughters Heather Miller and Angel Dailey; grandchildren) and those who predeceased him (daughter Alexa; father; brothers).
    • Resolves to mourn his passing and present a copy of the resolution to his family as an expression of sympathy.
    • Reports his date of death as October 10, 2025 (Ipava).
  • Savannah State congratulations:
    • Recognizes the Tigers’ 67–66 championship win over Tuskegee University on March 8, 2025.
    • Notes this as the program’s second SIAC title in four years (previous: 2022).
    • Highlights Interim Head Coach Clevan Thompson (took over in early January, led the team to a 13–5 record and an eight-game win streak).
    • Recognizes individual honors: All-Tournament selections Javonte Landy (jr.) and Ayjay Plain (sr.); Tournament MVP Qua King (sr. G/F).
    • Notes the team’s participation in the 2025 NCAA Division II Tournament as the No. 8 seed in the South Region.
    • Directs the Secretary of the Senate to make an appropriate copy available to the team.

Who is affected

  • Directly: family and survivors of Michael Dailey (for memorial); members and staff of the Savannah State University men’s basketball program (for the congratulatory resolution).
  • Broadly: ceremonial recognition for constituents, alumni, and community; these resolutions carry symbolic/official recognition but no regulatory or budgetary effects.

Procedural / timeline notes

  • Entries in the record show multiple read/adopted and filing dates (Senate Read & Adopted entries on 2025‑03‑28 and 2025‑05‑05; Received by Secretary 2025‑05‑01; Reported enrolled 2025‑05‑05; later filings dated October 2025). The mixed dates reflect the combined/merged record of two separate resolutions.
  • As adopted resolutions, both are ceremonial actions recorded in the Senate Journal and intended for presentation/distribution as indicated.

Impact

These are honorary resolutions: they produce official, ceremonial recognition and condolences but do not create or change law, appropriate funds, or impose regulatory obligations.
