Celebrating the life of Ellis Whedon James.
This is a symbolic resolution (SJ 346) that commends the life and legacy of Ellis Whedon James. It does not create any new laws, policies, or obligations - it is purely a ceremonial gesture of recognition. The resolution was unanimously agreed to by both the Senate and House and now awaits the governor's signature. It directly affects no individuals or groups, as it serves only to honor a person's memory.
