House Resolution 2006 is a commendatory resolution honoring the Omicron Alpha Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. The resolution recognizes the chapter’s decades-long history of volunteer service and outreach in Fredericksburg and the surrounding Rappahannock region, noting that it was established in 1984 and chartered in 1985 as an alumni chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek organization for African American men.
The resolution highlights the chapter’s community work through mentorship, leadership development, academic support, and civic engagement. It specifically cites programs such as Brother’s Keepers, voter education and assistance for emerging leaders, Go-to-High-School, Go-to-College, Project Alpha, and Read Across America, as well as a food-bag packing partnership with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. The measure directs the Clerk of the House of Delegates to present a copy of the resolution to the chapter as an expression of the House’s admiration.
HR2006 does not change state law, create new programs, or appropriate funds. Its effect is symbolic and ceremonial, using the House’s formal recognition to commend a private civic organization for community service. The resolution has no direct legal impact on statutes, agencies, or regulated parties, but it formally places the chapter’s contributions into the legislative record.
The available context suggests overwhelmingly positive sentiment. The resolution itself is written in praise, emphasizing service, mentorship, academic excellence, and community support. There are no recorded committee transcripts, no opposing votes, and no evidence of controversy in the provided history, indicating that the measure was likely noncontroversial and broadly supported as a recognition resolution.
No notable points of contention are reflected in the bill text or the available legislative history. Because the resolution is honorary and focused on community service, there is no apparent policy dispute over funding, regulation, or legal change. The only substantive emphasis is on the chapter’s civic and educational outreach, which appears to have been uniformly viewed favorably.
