Purpose

The resolution formally commends and congratulates Scott Gray for being named the 2024 State Games of Mississippi Male Athlete of the Year. Its intent is ceremonial: to record the Legislature’s official recognition and public praise for Gray’s athletic achievement.

Key provisions

  • Expresses the Mississippi Legislature’s congratulations and commendation to Scott Gray for receiving the 2024 State Games of Mississippi Male Athlete of the Year award.
  • May include brief recitals noting the significance of the award and Gray’s accomplishments (typical language in such resolutions, though full text is not provided here).
  • Does not create new legal obligations, appropriations, or changes to statute; it is a non-binding, honorary measure.

Who is affected

  • Direct: Scott Gray, the honoree.
  • Indirect: Gray’s family, teammates, coaches, school or club, and the local community, which may receive public recognition through the Legislature’s commendation.
  • Government: Procedural impact on legislative records and calendars (adds an official acknowledgement to the official legislative record).

  • 2025-02-04 — Referred to Rules (introduced in the House).
  • 2025-02-11 — Adopted by the House; Title Sufficiency (Title Suff Do Be Adopted); transmitted to Senate; immediate release.

Legal effect and impact

  • Ceremonial and symbolic only; it does not have the force of law, does not appropriate funds, and does not alter statutory rights or duties.
  • Main effect is public recognition and a formal record of the Legislature’s commendation, which can be used for publicity, local recognition events, and archival purposes.
