Bill Summary · HR 172

Legislative bill overview

HR 172 is a memorial resolution honoring Phil Goldstick, an individual being recognized by the Illinois House of Representatives. As a memorial resolution, this bill does not create law or appropriate funds; it serves as an official legislative tribute. The resolution was introduced by Rep. Bob Morgan and co-sponsored by Rep. Kam Buckner, and was adopted on March 6, 2025.

Why is this important

Memorial resolutions provide official state recognition of individuals' contributions or significance. While procedurally non-binding, they create an official legislative record and demonstrate institutional acknowledgment that may hold meaning for family, community, and historical purposes.

Potential points of contention

  • Limited public information: Without additional context about Phil Goldstick's identity or accomplishments, the substantive basis for the memorial cannot be evaluated
  • Routine nature: Memorial resolutions are typically non-controversial procedural matters, though some question whether legislative time should be devoted to such tributes
  • Transparency concerns: The specific reasons for the memorial are not detailed in available bill documentation
