The Arizona House of Representatives unanimously adopted House Concurrent Resolution 2,059 on Feb. 17, 2025, expressing regret at the death of Philip A. Austin and extending condolences to his family.
The resolution, offered on the House floor, summarized Austin's career as an attorney, civic leader and founder of multiple community organizations and scholarship programs in Mesa. The measure noted his service in the Arizona Attorney General's Office, his advocacy for fair housing and dispute resolution programs, and his work founding local Latino civic groups and scholarship funds.
Representative Austin moved the resolution for adoption; the House adopted it without objection and observed a moment of silence. Later, Representative Austin took a point of personal privilege to introduce family members attending in the gallery and to thank colleagues for honoring his father. He said the family had held a memorial service the previous Saturday and marked that day as the elder Austin's birthday.
The clerk was instructed to record the action of the House and to convey the resolution to the Senate.
