Honoring Maggie Purdy for outstanding service to the State of Ohio.
Summary
Senate Resolution 27 is a ceremonial measure honoring Maggie Purdy for her service to the Ohio Senate and the State of Ohio. The resolution recognizes her career path through the Ohio Legislative Service Commission, her work as a senior legislative aide, and her role as deputy press secretary for the Senate Majority Caucus. It praises her professionalism, diligence, and contributions to the efficiency of the legislative process.
The resolution does not create, amend, or repeal any state law. Instead, it is a formal expression of appreciation by the Senate, directing the Clerk to transmit an authenticated copy to Maggie Purdy. Its practical effect is limited to public recognition and commendation, with no direct legal or fiscal impact on state statutes, agencies, or private parties.

The measure affects no regulated parties and imposes no legal obligations.
Sentiment
