HJR 52: Memorials, Death - Darek Tanner

Overview

Bill Number: HJR 52
Title: Memorials, Death - Darek Tanner
Status: Referred to State & Local Government Committee with a Negative Recommendation
Introduced: November 12, 2024
Classification: Joint Resolution
Subject: Death, Memorials

Purpose and Intent

The purpose of HJR 52 is to designate a memorial for Darek Tanner, a local resident who tragically passed away in a car accident in 2023. The resolution aims to honor Tanner's memory and provide a place for the community to grieve and remember him.

Key Provisions

  • Designates a memorial site in Tanner's hometown to commemorate his life
  • Requires the state Department of Transportation to erect a memorial marker or plaque at the designated location
  • Appropriates $15,000 from the state general fund to cover the costs of designing, constructing, and installing the memorial

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Darek Tanner's family and friends, who will have a permanent place to honor his memory
  • The local community, who will be able to visit the memorial and reflect on Tanner's life
  • The state Department of Transportation, which will be responsible for the physical installation and maintenance of the memorial

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

HJR 52 was introduced in the state legislature on November 12, 2024 and has been referred to the State & Local Government Committee. The committee has issued a negative recommendation, meaning the resolution is unlikely to advance further in the legislative process without significant changes or additional support.

If the resolution were to pass, the Department of Transportation would have 6 months to complete the installation of the memorial after the bill's effective date.
