Type: House Resolution
Introduced: January 15, 2025
Status: Adopted (reported enrolled; final adoption noted March 31, 2025; additional adoption entry 10/28/2025)

Purpose / Intent

This resolution performs two related functions:
1. Formally recognizes and commends Nya Aaliyah Floyd for academic achievement, leadership, and community service.
2. Expresses the House’s support for Illinois House Bill 3652 (HB3652), the proposed Fuel Gas Detector and Alarm Act, and urges its swift passage as a public-safety measure to require natural gas detection in residences.

Key provisions / content of the resolution

  • Commendation portion:

    • Recognizes Nya Aaliyah Floyd (Lithonia, GA) for educational accomplishments (associate degree in business administration from Herzing University, 3.9 GPA; pursuing a B.S. in agriculture at Fort Valley State University), campus leadership and extracurricular activity (choirs, orientation leaders, modeling troupe, pageant titles including 87th Miss Fort Valley State University and 39th Miss National Black College Alumni Hall of Fame), and membership in fraternities/sororities (Alpha Phi Omega — Phi Zeta Chapter; Delta Sigma Theta — Eta Chapter).
    • Directs the Clerk of the House to make an appropriate copy of the resolution available to Ms. Floyd.

  • Policy endorsement portion:

    • Urges support for Illinois HB3652 (Fuel Gas Detector and Alarm Act), which would require installation of natural-gas alarms in residential dwellings—bringing fuel gas detection in line with existing smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
    • Notes bipartisan committee support in Illinois (House Police & Fire Committee vote reported 13–0), backing from Illinois House leadership, and parallels to efforts in other states (e.g., Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina).
    • Cites endorsements/advocacy from organizations and coalitions (e.g., New Cosmos USA; National Organization of Black Elected Legislative Women — NOBEL Women).

What HB3652 would do (as described in the resolution)

  • Establish a Fuel Gas Detector and Alarm Act requiring natural gas detectors/alarms in residential settings.
  • Harmonize gas-detection requirements with existing smoke and CO alarm laws.
  • The resolution does not include the full statutory text; specific technical standards, required timelines, enforcement mechanisms, exemptions, or penalty structures are not provided in the resolution text.

Who would be affected

  • Directly: Residents of Illinois (homeowners, landlords, renters) if HB3652 is enacted.
  • Indirectly: Building code and inspection authorities, landlords, property managers, alarm and detector manufacturers and installers, emergency responders, and communities at higher risk from aging gas infrastructure.
  • The resolution also formally honors an individual (Nya Aaliyah Floyd) and makes that recognition part of the public record.

Procedural / timeline notes

  • Resolution introduced 2025-01-15; recorded House actions include readings, placement on calendars, adoption (multiple entries include 2025-03-31 and 2025-10-28).
  • Illinois HB3652 (the measure the resolution endorses) is reported to have passed the Illinois House Police & Fire Committee unanimously (13–0) and was sponsored in Illinois by Assistant Majority Leader Camille Y. Lilly; timeline specifics for HB3652 beyond committee approval are referenced but not fully set out in this resolution.

Sponsors / supporters referenced

  • Resolution authors: Representatives Robert Dickey, Patty Marie Stinson, Bethany Ballard (listed at head of resolution).
  • HB3652 sponsor (as noted in text): Assistant Majority Leader Camille Y. Lilly (Illinois).
  • Other named supporters/coalition partners include House leadership, New Cosmos USA, and NOBEL Women.
  • A broader sponsors list in the bill metadata includes several Members of Congress (Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Andrea Salinas, Adam Smith, Suzan DelBene, Dan Newhouse, Emily Randall, Michael Baumgartner) — these appear in the provided document metadata but are distinct from the state-level authorship and referenced Illinois sponsors.

Notes / considerations

  • The resolution is largely symbolic: it formally honors an individual and voice-supports state legislation (HB3652) rather than creating statutory obligations itself.
  • The resolution cites public-safety rationales and interstate precedent but does not substitute for the full legislative text or implementation details of HB3652; readers interested in regulatory specifics should consult the full HB3652 bill text and committee reports from the Illinois General Assembly.
