Summary — H.R. 454 (House Resolution 454)

Status: Resolution Adopted
Introduced: January 15, 2025
Classification: House resolution (ceremonial/congratulatory and memorial)
Primary sponsors (as listed): W. Gregory Steube; Jasmine Clark; Angie O’Steen; Sandra Scott; Sandy Donatucci; David Clark; Viola Davis; Emanuel “Chris” Welch

Main purpose and intent

H.R. 454 is a ceremonial House resolution that (1) commends Help for Healthcare Professionals, Inc. (HHCP), a nurse‑led 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and recognizes February 24, 2025, as “HHCP Day” at the state capitol; and (2) — in a separate memorial section contained in the same document — expresses condolences on the death of Eunice Alexander and directs that a copy of the memorial be presented to her family.

Key provisions and changes

  • Commendation of HHCP for workforce development, mental‑health support, advocacy, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts.
  • Formal recognition of HHCP’s accomplishments, including:
    • Serving over 22,000 healthcare professionals and first responders across 20 Georgia counties.
    • Programs cited: Frontline Care and Recovery (CARE), Crossroads Education, YOUTH‑MED Mentorship and Physician Pathway (with recent inaugural cohort and 2025 expansion), Frontline Society networking/membership community.
    • Partnerships and events: Urban League of Greater Atlanta collaboration, mental‑health initiative expansions, Night of Glam & Gratitude Charity Awards Gala, and enhanced advocacy work.
  • Official recognition of February 24, 2025, as “HHCP Day” at the state capitol.
  • Direction that the Clerk of the House make an appropriate copy available for HHCP and its founder, Shelli‑Ann McKenzie.
  • Memorial resolution for Eunice Alexander: records biographical details (birth April 14, 1937; death August 19, 2025), church and community service, family survivors and predeceased relatives; expresses mourning and orders a copy presented to her family.

Who is affected / impact

  • HHCP and its founder receive formal legislative recognition and publicity; the resolution is honorary and nonbinding (no legal or funding effect).
  • Community members, program participants and partners of HHCP receive recognition of organizational contributions.
  • The family and community of Eunice Alexander receive an official statement of condolence from the House.

Procedural and timeline notes

  • Introduced January 15, 2025; multiple calendar referrals and readings February–March 2025.
  • Recorded actions include “Laid before the House,” “Adopted,” and “Reported enrolled” on March 31, 2025; later entries show filing with the clerk and placement on calendar in September–October 2025 and an additional “Resolution Adopted” entry on October 14, 2025.
  • The document provided appears to combine two distinct ceremonial items (an organizational commendation/recognition and a separate memorial), and it references sponsors and procedural entries from different jurisdictions and offices. The resolution is ceremonial in nature and does not create legal obligations or appropriations.
