Expressing the profound sorrow of the House of Representatives on the death of the Honorable David Scott.
Summary
What This Bill Does
This House resolution records the House's profound sorrow over the death of Representative David Scott, a Representative from Georgia. It directs the Clerk of the House to communicate the resolutions to the Senate and transmit a copy to Representative Scott's family. It also provides that when the House adjourns that day, it adjourns as a further mark of respect to his memory. The resolution is commemorative and procedural; it does not change federal law or create public programs.
Who Benefits and How
Representative David Scott's family benefits from receiving the formal House resolution and public expression of sympathy. The Georgia delegation and Representative Scott's constituents benefit from official recognition of his service. The Senate benefits from receiving the communication from the House. House Members benefit from a formal procedure to honor a deceased colleague and adjourn in his memory.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The Clerk of the House must communicate the resolutions to the Senate and send a copy to Representative Scott's family. House floor staff must process the adjournment as a mark of respect. The House schedule bears a procedural effect because adjournment is tied to memorial recognition rather than ordinary end-of-day business.
