MEMORIAL-JAMES D. BOLIN
This is a ceremonial memorial resolution (HR 684), not a policy bill. It honors James Dean "Jim" Bolin of Casey, Illinois, who died on January 27, 2026, by commemorating his life and contributions to his community. The resolution details his career as a carpenter and owner of Bolin Enterprises, his creation of "world's largest objects" to promote Casey tourism, and his family. The Illinois House of Representatives adopted the resolution on February 25, 2026, to express condolences to his surviving family members. It has no legislative effect beyond this expression of sympathy.
