In memory of Master Sergeant Tyler Simmons.
House Resolution 365 is a memorial resolution honoring the life and service of Master Sergeant Tyler Simmons. The resolution expresses condolences to his family and friends and recognizes his death in the line of duty while serving with the 121st Air Refueling Wing at Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base aboard a KC-135 Stratotanker in support of Operation Epic Fury. It highlights his background as a 2015 graduate of Eastmoor Academy High School and describes him as an outstanding individual whose service and sacrifice exemplified the traditions of the armed forces.
The resolution does not create or amend any statutory law, impose requirements, or appropriate funds. Its effect is ceremonial and commemorative only: it formally records the Ohio House’s mourning, honors Master Sergeant Simmons’s memory, and directs the Clerk of the House to transmit an authenticated copy of the resolution to his family. As a result, the bill affects no state code provisions or regulated parties beyond the symbolic recognition it provides to the decedent’s family and community.
HR 365 has no direct legal or regulatory impact on Ohio law because it is a memorial resolution rather than substantive legislation. It does not amend the Revised Code, change agency duties, or alter rights or obligations for any person or entity. Its only formal action is to recognize Master Sergeant Tyler Simmons and to send a copy of the resolution to his family, making the measure purely honorary and commemorative.
The sentiment surrounding the resolution is strongly respectful and sympathetic. The House adopted language expressing condolences, admiration for Simmons’s service, and appreciation for his sacrifice, reflecting a broadly unified and solemn tone. Because the measure is a memorial resolution, there is no evidence of partisan disagreement or recorded opposition in the available materials, and the overall posture is one of honor and remembrance.
There are no notable points of contention in the available record. The bill is a noncontroversial memorial resolution, and no committee transcripts, amendments, or votes indicate disagreement. Any discussion would likely have centered on honoring Master Sergeant Simmons’s service and sacrifice rather than on policy differences or legal effects.
