House concurrent resolution congratulating the 2024 Bellows Free Academy-Fairfax High School Bullets Division III championship baseball team
H.C.R. 28 is a ceremonial House concurrent resolution congratulating the 2024 Bellows Free Academy-Fairfax High School Bullets baseball team for winning the Vermont Division III championship. The resolution recounts the team’s dominant 7–0 victory over White River Valley in the title game at Centennial Field, noting the Bullets’ early scoring and sustained lead throughout the game. It also recognizes the players, head coach Mike Brown, assistant coaches, and support staff for their roles in the championship season.
The resolution does not create or amend any state laws, change school policy, or appropriate funds. Its only operative effect is to formally express the General Assembly’s congratulations and direct the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to Bellows Free Academy-Fairfax High School. As a result, the bill’s impact is symbolic and honorary, with no legal or regulatory consequences for any person or entity.
H.C.R. 28 has no substantive effect on Vermont statutes, regulations, or public programs. It is a concurrent resolution used to recognize a local high school athletic achievement, and its only formal action is to communicate legislative congratulations to the school. The affected parties are the Bellows Free Academy-Fairfax baseball team, its coaches and staff, and the school community, all of whom receive public acknowledgment rather than any legal benefit or obligation.
The sentiment around the resolution is entirely positive and celebratory. The text itself is laudatory, emphasizing the team’s strong performance, championship victory, and the pride associated with bringing home the school’s first baseball title since 2015. There is no recorded committee debate, vote controversy, or opposition in the provided materials, which is consistent with the routine, noncontroversial nature of honorary resolutions.
There are no notable points of contention in the available record. Because the resolution is purely congratulatory and does not affect policy, funding, or legal rights, it does not appear to have generated disagreement among legislators. The only substantive focus is on recognizing the team, coaches, and support staff for the championship win.
