SCR 49 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Recognizing Austin Oaks Church on the occasion of its 100th anniversary.

This is a ceremonial resolution (SCR 49), not a substantive bill. It recognizes Austin Oaks Church for its 100th anniversary in 2025, acknowledging its founding in 1925 by Swedish immigrants as the Swedish Evangelical Free Church, its relocation to southwest Austin in 2002, and its current ministries under pastors Brandon Zieske and BJ Forguson. The resolution formally commends the church's century-long service to the community and directs that a copy be presented to the church. No new laws or policies are created, and it directly affects only the church congregation as a ceremonial honor.

What changed between versions

Engrossed Enrolled · 2 edits · Jun 20, 2025
MINOR
The document changed from a draft Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR) to the final Enrolled version ready for the Governor's signature. The primary substantive change is the addition of a header noting that digital content on TLO has been updated to meet WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards, while the core text commemorating the 100th anniversary of Austin Oaks Church remains unchanged.
Scope change
The scope of the legislative act itself did not change; the bill still commemorates the church's founding. The change is limited to the document's metadata and a note regarding digital accessibility compliance.
TECHNICAL

Added a header statement confirming that digital content on TLO has been updated to align with WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards.

Converted the text from a draft format with line numbers and deletion markers to a clean, official Enrolled format with signature lines for the President of the Senate, Speaker of the House, and the Governor.
