Celebrating the life of Albert Lester Simmons.
House Resolution 648 honors the life of Albert Lester Simmons, a Richmond resident who passed away in March 2024. The resolution formally acknowledges his contributions as a Vietnam War veteran, preschool teacher, and advocate for social justice and criminal justice reform. It directs the House Clerk to create a copy of the document to present to Simmons' family as a gesture of respect from the House of Delegates. This measure is a commemorative tribute rather than a law that changes policy or affects public programs.
