Summary#
HR-1048, titled “CONGRATS-DONNA FREITAG,” is an Illinois House resolution, not a bill that changes state law. It would congratulate Donna Freitag for 50 years of service to the Lake County Farm Bureau and provide her with a copy of the resolution. It is at the introduced stage, so whether the House adopts it is uncertain.
- The House would formally recognize Freitag’s service, including her work supporting members, staff, and the Farm Bureau’s events.
- If adopted, the resolution directs that a suitable copy be presented to Freitag.
- The resolution does not amend another law or create a new program, benefit, duty, or penalty.
What it means for you#
- Donna Freitag: If the House adopts the resolution, she would receive a copy as a symbol of the House’s esteem and respect.
- Lake County Farm Bureau and the public: The resolution offers formal recognition; it does not change the Farm Bureau’s operations or the public’s rights or services.
