MODERATE

This resolution was updated to reflect the final adopted version of House Bill 20, which commemorates the life of Mrs. Otha Mae Shelby. The primary changes involve removing her middle and maiden names (Mattie Juanita Falls) from the title and text, correcting the date of passing from February 5 to February 4, 2025, and updating biographical details to focus on her role as a mother and church member rather than including specific details about her parents, siblings, and extended family. These changes streamline the resolution to focus on her immediate family and community impact while maintaining the core purpose of honoring her life.
