MEMORIAL-TIM JONES

HR 584 is a memorial resolution honoring Park Forest Police Officer Tim Jones, who died on December 3, 2025. It expresses the Illinois House of Representatives' condolences to his family and community, recognizing his 10-year recovery journey after being critically wounded in 2016 while on duty. The resolution commemorates his service as a second-generation officer and the community's support, including the 2018 dedication of "Honorary Officer Tim Jones Way" on Lakewood Boulevard. As a commemorative resolution (not a policy bill), it has no direct legislative effect but formally acknowledges his legacy. The resolution was adopted by the Illinois House on January 20, 2026.
