RESOLUTION RAISING A COMMITTEE TO INFORM SENATOR MARTIN M. LOONEY THAT THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IS ORGANIZED AND READY TO RECOGNIZE HIS DISTINGUISHED LEGISLATIVE CAREER.
Summary
House Resolution 13 is a ceremonial resolution, not a policy bill. It authorizes the appointment of a committee made up of members of the New Haven delegation to inform Senator Martin M. Looney that the House of Representatives is organized and ready to recognize his distinguished legislative career.
The resolution serves as a formal procedural gesture associated with legislative organization and recognition, and it does not amend, create, or repeal any state law or statutory provision. Its practical effect is limited to the House’s internal proceedings and the honoring of a long-serving senator.
Impact
HR 13 has no direct impact on state statutes, regulations, or public programs. Its effect is confined to legislative protocol: it establishes a committee for the purpose of conveying the House’s readiness to recognize Senator Looney, reflecting ceremonial recognition rather than substantive legal change.
Sentiment
The sentiment around the resolution is strongly positive and respectful. The language of the measure itself emphasizes Senator Martin M. Looney’s “distinguished legislative career,” and the bill was adopted by the House without recorded controversy, indicating broad agreement and a routine ceremonial purpose.
Contention
There is no notable policy contention in the available record. Because the resolution is purely honorary and procedural, it does not present competing positions on substantive issues, and no committee discussion or recorded votes suggest disagreement. Any interest in the measure appears centered on recognition of Senator Looney and the House’s organizational formality.
