SCR 28 Oregon Senate · 2025 Regular Session

In memoriam: Charles Benjamin "Chuck" Mawhinney.

SCR 28 is a ceremonial concurrent resolution honoring Marine Corps sniper Charles Benjamin "Chuck" Mawhinney (1949-2024). It amends a memorial resolution to specifically note his 16-month Vietnam service and his recognition as "the greatest marksman in the history of the USMC" and "fourth most effective sniper in American military history." The bill has no policy impact or direct effect on constituents, as it solely commemorates an individual's military service. It was adopted and signed without opposition in June 2025.

MINOR

The bill was finalized from its 'A-Engrossed' draft to the 'Enrolled' version, which is the official text signed into law. The substantive content regarding the honors for Chuck Mawhinney remained identical; the only changes were the removal of editorial summaries and the addition of formal signatures from Senate and House leadership.

TECHNICAL

Removed the 'Summary' section and the 'Digest' which provided a non-binding overview of the bill's purpose.

Added signature blocks for the Secretary of Senate, President of Senate, and Speaker of House to certify the bill as officially adopted by both chambers.

Updated the header to reflect the final 'Enrolled' status and included the full list of sponsors in a standardized format.
