Overview / Purpose

SC 526 is a concurrent resolution that formally recognizes legislative members who are members of Kappa Alpha Psi (a national collegiate Greek-letter fraternity) and designates February 11, 2025, as “Kappa Day at the State Kapitol.” The resolution is ceremonial in nature and intended to acknowledge the fraternity’s membership among legislators and to commemorate a day of observance at the state capitol.

Key Provisions

  • Official recognition of legislative members who are members of Kappa Alpha Psi.
  • Designation of February 11, 2025, as “Kappa Day at the State Kapitol.”
  • The resolution uses the spelling “State Kapitol” as presented in the bill language.

Note: As a concurrent resolution, SC 526 does not create statutory rights, change state law, or appropriate funds. Its effect is declaratory and ceremonial.

Who is Affected

  • Members of Kappa Alpha Psi who serve in the state legislature (direct recognition).
  • Kappa Alpha Psi organization and local chapters (ceremonial acknowledgment; may use the designation for events).
  • State capitol staff and the general public if they participate in or host observances on the designated date.
  • No direct fiscal or regulatory impact on state agencies, programs, or budgets.
