HR546 Summary

• Designates the recipients of the 2013 Shroud Award, a traditional sine die recognition for the "Deadest Bill" of the legislative session, originating in 1979 and marking its 35th anniversary.

• Awards House Bills 2, 315, and 550 by Representative Patricia Todd, which proposed medical marijuana legalization and cannabis legalization for personal use, as the winning bills for failing to advance in the legislature.

• Honorable mentions go to House Bills 31 (pre-need funeral services), 84 (education accountability act), 496 (school curriculum on homosexuality), 469 (horse welfare committee), 287 (home school athletic participation), and 172 (education lottery).

• The resolution is presented as a light-hearted, bipartisan ceremonial tradition where legislators humorously ridicule proposed legislation deemed amusing, entertaining, or absurd.

• Requests that Representative Patricia Todd come forward to accept the Shroud Award.
