CER 26-0191 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Mr. Henry’s 60th Anniversary Recognition Resolution of 2026

This ceremonial resolution formally recognizes Mr. Henry's restaurant and entertainment venue on the occasion of its 60th anniversary in 2026. The bill directly affects the Capitol Hill community by honoring the establishment's history as a locally owned business that has served as a cultural hub for jazz music, LGBTQ+ patrons, and diverse residents since 1966. It does not create new laws or funding but instead officially acknowledges the venue's legacy and its role as a local anchor through a formal citation. The resolution takes effect immediately upon passage and serves as a public statement of appreciation rather than a policy change.
