Whereas, the designation of a day of remembrance for murder victims provides an opportunity for the people of this state to honor the memories of murder victims and to recognize the impact of their loss on surviving family members.

Therefore

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona, the Senate concurring:

That the Members of the Legislature join the rest of the country and proclaim September 25, 2016 as Arizona Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims.
