This resolution commemorates the tenth anniversary of the June 12, 2016, Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, which killed 49 people. The measure honors the victims by name and expresses condolences to their families and loved ones, while also recognizing the bravery of local, state, and federal law enforcement and emergency responders who helped during the attack. The resolution emphasizes that the incident was an act of domestic terrorism and notes that Pulse was a safe space for the LGBTQ, Black, and Latino communities. The measure references President Biden's executive actions on gun violence and Congress's passage of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act in 2022, and calls for continued work on gun safety and mental health legislation. This is a ceremonial resolution with no direct fiscal impact or funding requirements.
