Honoring Ricardo DeLaSerda, Jr. on his retirement from Ohio Legislative Information Systems.

Summary

SR153 is a simple Senate resolution honoring Ricardo DeLaSerda, Jr. on the occasion of his retirement from Ohio Legislative Information Systems. The resolution recognizes his long career in public service, noting that he joined LIS in 2000 after 24 years as a computer engineer with Texas Instruments and that he contributed to the efficiency and effectiveness of the Ohio General Assembly’s legislative process. The resolution is commemorative rather than regulatory: it does not create, amend, or repeal any state law, and it does not appropriate funds or alter agency duties. Instead, it directs the Senate Clerk to transmit an authenticated copy of the resolution to DeLaSerda as an official expression of appreciation and best wishes.

Impact

SR153 has no direct legal or fiscal impact on Ohio statutes, agencies, or private parties. Its effect is ceremonial, serving as an official legislative commendation that records the Senate’s recognition of an individual employee’s service to Ohio Legislative Information Systems and the General Assembly.

Sentiment

The sentiment around the bill is uniformly positive and appreciative. The resolution’s language is laudatory throughout, emphasizing DeLaSerda’s diligence, competence, dedication, and value to state government. There is no recorded opposition, committee debate, or vote controversy in the provided materials, which is consistent with a noncontroversial honorary resolution.

Contention

There are no notable points of contention in the available record. Because SR153 is an honorary resolution celebrating a retirement and thanking a long-serving legislative staff member, it does not appear to have generated disagreement over policy, funding, or statutory change. The only substantive focus is the Senate’s praise for DeLaSerda’s service and the formal transmission of the resolution to him.
