HOUSE RESOLUTION EXTENDING DEEPEST CONDOLENCES ON THE PASSING OF ALAN SHAWN FEINSTEIN, A LEGENDARY PHILANTHROPIST AND ENTREPRENEUR

This resolution, passed by the Rhode Island House of Representatives on January 23, 2025, expresses the House's deepest condolences to the family of Alan Shawn Feinstein following his passing. It honors his legacy as a philanthropist and entrepreneur who founded the Feinstein Foundation, supported education, and raised over $2.5 billion through the "Feinstein Challenge" to combat hunger. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to send certified copies to his wife, Pratarnporn Feinstein, and daughter, Leila Feinstein. As a memorial resolution, it has no policy impact but serves as a formal tribute to his contributions to Rhode Island.
