Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S2447-2448)
This resolution is a Senate-only expression honoring the life and public service of Mia Bourdeau Love. It asks the Secretary of the Senate to send the resolution to the House and to transmit an enrolled copy to her family, and it directs the Senate to adjourn on the day of adoption as a mark of respect. This action does not create law, does not require the President's signature, and has effect only as the Senate's formal statement and actions of respect.
This Senate resolution honors the life and public service of the Honorable Mia Bourdeau Love, former U.S. Representative from Utah, noting her biography, milestones, faith, family, and public contributions.
It directs the Secretary of the Senate to convey the resolution to the House and to transmit an enrolled copy to her family, and orders the Senate to adjourn as a mark of respect on adoption.
Simple Senate resolutions are internal, ceremonial measures and do not become statutory law.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-constructed commemorative resolution. It clearly states the purpose, includes specific and appropriate operative actions, and provides a straightforward implementation path. It omits fiscal discussion and statutory cross-references, which is typical and acceptable for this form of resolution.
