House adjourns in memory of former Representative Bill Denny
Summary
Members observed an adjourn-in-memory for former Representative Bill Denny; colleagues shared remembrances on the House floor and the clerk was instructed to record the memorial.
The Mississippi House of Representatives adjourned in memory of former Representative Bill Denny after members offered remembrances on the floor.
A member identified as the representative from Lincoln asked that the House adjourn in memory and reported the death of former Representative Bill Denny. The representative said Denny “was a great member of the Republican Party” and asked colleagues to be added to a memorial listing through the clerk’s office.
Another member on the floor recalled Denny’s long service, noting his role in drawing maps and recalling anecdotes about his campaigning style and colorful presence on the House floor. Members were directed to the clerk’s office if they did not wish to be added to the official remembrances; the presiding officer acknowledged the request and placed the memorial on the record.
The memorial did not include procedural motions beyond the adjourn-in-memory request; no funeral arrangements, dates, or outside-agency notices were recorded in the floor transcript.
