Resolution Adopted

Overview

This summary covers Bill HR 676 from the 104th Illinois General Assembly, titled Memorial-William D. Marass. The bill lists Mike Coffey as a co-sponsor. Based on typical memorial designation bills, this measure recognizes or commemorates an individual or event rather than prescribing regulatory or funding actions. The summary below outlines the likely purpose, provisions, affected parties, and procedural context, as information available from bill metadata.

Purpose and intent

To memorialize or designate a commemorative honor (Memorial-William D. Marass) within the Illinois statutes or a related official record.

The primary aim is to acknowledge the achievements, contributions, or memory of William D. Marass, as recognized by the General Assembly, rather than to impose new laws or direct state policy.

Key provisions and changes

Designation: The bill would formally designate a person (William D. Marass) for the memorial, likely within a section of Illinois law that records commemorative designations (e.g., memorial highways, bridges, or a similar commemorative category) or within a concurrent resolution that honors individuals.

Scope: If the designation affects a specific physical infrastructure (e.g., a road, bridge, or building), the bill would specify the exact location or feature to receive the memorial name. If it is a resolution, it would memorialize the individual in the official records without altering physical infrastructure.

Implementation steps: The bill would typically require dissemination of the designation to relevant state agencies to update signage, maps, or official records, and may outline any administrative duties for agencies to carry out the designation.

Who or what is affected

Primary: The name recognition and formal designation of William D. Marass within Illinois law or state records.

Administrative: State agencies responsible for infrastructure naming, signage, and official documentation (e.g., Department of Transportation if a roadway/bridge designation is involved; or the Legislative Reference Bureau and the Executive, for records and signage updates).

Public: Residents and visitors who encounter the commemorative designation in signage or official references.

Procedural and timeline aspects

Introduction and sponsorship: Co-sponsor Mike Coffey is listed; primary sponsor details would be in the bill text.

Legislative process: As a memorial designation, the bill would usually move through standard legislative steps (committee referral, potential hearings, floor consideration, and passage by both chambers), with adoption serving to formally memorialize rather than to create new policy or funding.

Effective date: If the bill designates a memorial designation, the effective date would be specified in the text (often upon enactment or upon publication) and may include a phase-in for signage updates.
