Senate Resolution 515 is a commemorative resolution honoring the life and memory of Larry Wayne Grogan, who passed away on March 20, 2025. The resolution recites biographical details about his birth in Mitchell County, his service in the United States Air Force, his faith and membership at First Baptist Church of Camilla, and his family relationships with his wife, children, and grandchild.
The measure expresses the Senate’s condolences and recognition of Grogan’s character, describing him as a person of integrity, fairness, kindness, and community spirit. It does not create a new program, impose a duty, or amend any statute; instead, it authorizes the Secretary of the Senate to provide a copy of the resolution to his family as a formal expression of sympathy and respect.
Impact
SR515 has no substantive impact on Georgia law or state agencies because it is a ceremonial Senate resolution rather than a bill amending the Code. Its effect is limited to official recognition by the Senate and the transmission of condolences to the Grogan family, with no regulatory, fiscal, or legal changes for any person or entity.
Sentiment
The sentiment surrounding the resolution is uniformly respectful and sympathetic. The language of the resolution is laudatory, emphasizing Grogan’s military service, faith, family devotion, and personal integrity, and the absence of any recorded debate, committee controversy, or votes suggests it was noncontroversial and likely received broad support.
Contention
There are no notable points of contention in the available record. No committee transcripts or vote details are provided, and the resolution is a standard memorial measure focused on honoring an individual’s life rather than advancing policy, so there is no indication of disagreement among sponsors or legislators.
