Summary

Witnesses asked the committee to approve H.3327 to place a plaque on the guard shack outside the State House honoring Joanne Crokin’s nearly 30 years of service as a park ranger for the building.

Bill Darden and others testified Oct. 8 in support of H.3327, which would authorize a plaque recognizing Joanne Crokin, a park ranger who served at the State House for nearly 30 years. Darden and other supporters said the plaque would be placed on the guard shack outside the State House and would also acknowledge other rangers who have served the building.

Supporters described Crokin as a dedicated public servant and said the proposal is a modest recognition. Committee members offered thanks and no objections were recorded on the hearing record.

Why it matters: The bill is a symbolic recognition of long public service at a prominent state site; supporters said it is a small, localized commemoration.
