Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution honors Constance Benjamin Clery, who passed away on June 23, 2026, at the age of 95. After her daughter Jeanne was murdered on a college campus in 1986, Connie and her husband Howard founded what became the Clery Center to advocate for campus safety and crime victim protections. Working with policymakers over nearly four decades, they helped advance more than 30 state and federal laws, including the landmark 1990 Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act (now called the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act) that requires colleges to disclose crime statistics and security information to students and families. The Senate's resolution expresses condolences to her family and reaffirms its commitment to enforcing the campus safety law that bears her daughter's name. This is a ceremonial resolution with no direct budgetary impact or implementation timeline.
