HOUSE RESOLUTION EXPRESSING CONDOLENCES

This bill is a House resolution expressing condolences for the passing of four state representatives: Helen Stasia Taylor, Lori-Jean Sammartino, Edith D. Campanini, and Sharon Agnes Smith. It directs the House of Representatives to offer its sincere sympathy to the bereaved families of these individuals. Additionally, the resolution instructs the Secretary of State to send a properly inscribed memorial to the families as a gesture of respect. The measure is a formal acknowledgment of loss rather than a policy change affecting government operations.
