Summary — HR 2007 (Arizona House)

Paul Gilbert Berumen; death resolution

Purpose and intent

HR 2007 is a ceremonial resolution adopted by the Arizona House of Representatives to mourn the death of Paul Gilbert Berumen, to record his service and life, and to extend the House’s condolences to his surviving family and community. It creates a formal public record honoring his memory but does not change law or create any legal or fiscal obligations.

Key provisions

  • Recites biographical details about Paul Gilbert Berumen, including:
    • Born in Phoenix to Gilbert and Olga Berumen.
    • Died January 14, 2025, at age 57 after a battle with cancer.
    • Married to Monica Hernandez.
    • Service as a sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve during Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
    • More than 30 years of public-sector work: Arizona‑Mexico Commission, City of Phoenix (assistant to the mayor), City of Mesa, Arizona State University, Transportation Security Administration, and contributions to Phoenix airport security and public safety programs.
    • Personal interests and community ties (reading, varied music collection, golf at Encanto Short 9, Catholic faith and education).
  • Concludes with the operative clause:
    • “That the Members of the House of Representatives express sincere regret at the death of Paul Gilbert Berumen and extend their deepest sympathies to his surviving family members.”

Who is affected

  • Primarily ceremonial and symbolic; directly acknowledges and honors Mr. Berumen’s family, friends, military and professional communities.
  • No direct legal, regulatory, or budgetary impacts on individuals, businesses, or government programs.

Procedural history and status

  • Introduced in the Arizona House: March 10, 2025 (referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce).
  • Sponsor listed in the resolution text: Representative Liguori (Arizona House).
    • Note: the supplied metadata also listed several U.S. House members as sponsors (Delia C. Ramirez; Eleanor Holmes Norton; Rashida Tlaib). Those names appear inconsistent with the Arizona House document, which identifies Representative Liguori as the introducer.
  • House actions on April 23, 2025:
    • House First and Second Readings waived.
    • Unanimously adopted by the House.
    • Transmitted to and filed in the office of the Arizona Secretary of State on April 23, 2025.

Legal/economic impact

  • Purely commemorative; does not amend statutes, appropriate funds, or impose duties. Its primary effect is symbolic recognition and the creation of an official legislative record of sympathy and respect.
