Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
This resolution recognizes and praises the City of Ferndale for its work supporting the LGBTQIA+ community. It is a simple House resolution that expresses the House of Representatives views and does not create or change any law. The measure is only for the House to adopt and is not sent to the Senate or the President and therefore has no binding legal effect.
This House resolution recognizes and supports the City of Ferndale, Michigan, for its historical and ongoing contributions to the LGBTQIA+ community.
It lists Ferndale’s local organizations, anti-discrimination measures, Pride events, community services, and civic milestones and formally commends the city and its institutions.
As a House-only simple resolution it cannot become law; passage would be symbolic within the House only.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions as a standard commemorative House resolution: it documents historical and contemporary facts about the City of Ferndale and concludes with an expression of recognition without creating enforceable rights, obligations, or funding authorities.
