Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. (text: CR S3171)
This resolution is a Senate simple resolution that honors the lives and service of Natalie and Davy Lloyd and offers condolences to their family. It is the Senate formally recognizing and commemorating their missionary work and tragic deaths. It does not create any legal rights or change laws and serves only as the Senate's official statement of sympathy and honor.
As a Senate simple resolution, it is considered and adopted only by the Senate and is not sent to the President or the House; it typically passes by voice vote or unanimous consent and has no force of law.
This Senate resolution expresses condolences to the family and friends of Natalie and Davy Lloyd, who were killed in Haiti on May 23, 2024.
It recognizes and honors them as missionaries who served Haitian communities, especially children, and commemorates their service and legacy.
