Virginia House Bill HJ304

Caption

Commending Pinecrest Swim and Tennis Club.

Summary

House Joint Resolution 304 is a ceremonial measure that commends Pinecrest Swim and Tennis Club on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. The resolution recognizes the club’s long-standing role in the Oak Hill area of Herndon, highlighting its nonprofit, member-owned structure, recreational amenities, swim and tennis instruction, and competitive swim and dive programming. It also notes the club’s social and community functions, including family gatherings and events. The resolution does not change state law, create new programs, or appropriate funds. Its effect is limited to an official expression of appreciation by the General Assembly, with the Clerk of the House directed to prepare a copy for presentation to the club. As a result, the bill has no direct legal impact on statutes, agencies, or private parties beyond the symbolic recognition it provides.

Impact

HJ304 has no substantive impact on Virginia law or the state code. It is a commemorative joint resolution that solely authorizes the General Assembly to formally commend Pinecrest Swim and Tennis Club and to present the club with an official copy of the resolution. No statutes are amended, no regulatory duties are created, and no rights or obligations are imposed on any person or entity.

Sentiment

The sentiment around the resolution is uniformly positive and celebratory. The bill passed both chambers and the text emphasizes the club’s community service, youth sports opportunities, family-oriented activities, and long history in the area. Because it is a commendation resolution, there is no evidence of partisan or policy-based opposition in the available record.

Contention

There is no notable contention reflected in the bill text, voting history, or committee materials provided. The measure appears to have been noncontroversial and purely ceremonial, with the General Assembly acting in agreement to honor the club’s 50 years of service. Any discussion would likely have centered on the club’s community value rather than on policy disagreements.
