Summary

Senate Resolution No. 414 is a ceremonial resolution commending Adah Chapter No. 82 of the Order of the Eastern Star for hosting its Annual Five Point Tea on March 2, 2025. The resolution recognizes the chapter’s role in promoting sisterhood, leadership, faith, charity, and community service, and it highlights the event as a celebration of the organization’s traditions and values. The resolution also frames the Five Point Tea as an occasion that reinforces the Five Heroines’ virtues of Fidelity, Constancy, Loyalty, Faith, and Love, while supporting charitable efforts that benefit individuals and families. It directs that a copy of the resolution be formally transmitted to the chapter as a gesture of recognition and appreciation.

Impact

This resolution does not amend, create, or repeal any state law, nor does it affect statutory rights or obligations. Its impact is purely ceremonial and symbolic, serving to place the Legislature’s official recognition on the record and to honor a community organization for its service and traditions.

Sentiment

The overall sentiment is strongly positive and supportive. The bill is framed entirely as a commendation, with no recorded opposition, committee debate, or votes indicating controversy. The language emphasizes respect for the organization’s charitable work, fellowship, and longstanding community contributions.

Contention

There is no notable contention reflected in the bill text or available legislative history. Because this is a non-substantive commendatory resolution, there are no apparent policy disputes, fiscal concerns, or stakeholder disagreements. The only “issue” addressed is the Legislature’s desire to formally recognize the Adah Chapter No. 82 and its event.
