AR 5 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Adds former Assemblymember Odis âTyroneâ Thompson to the Assembly Wall of Distinction. (BDR R-1162)

This Assembly Resolution (AR 5) honors former Nevada Assemblymember Odis "Tyrone" Thompson by adding his name to the Assembly Wall of Distinction. The resolution recognizes his 13-year service (including three elected terms representing District 17), his advocacy for vulnerable populations, and his leadership roles like Assembly Majority Whip. It does not create new policies or affect any legislation - only commemorates his legacy through a symbolic display. Thompson, who died in 2019, is already memorialized by a school, scholarship, and student union named in his honor. The resolution requires the Chief Clerk to notify his family upon adoption.
