Panel approves bill to accept and display portrait of former Sen. Jeb Bradley in State House
Summary
Senate Bill 186 would allow the Joint Legislative Historical Committee to accept and display a portrait of former U.S. Rep. and state Senate President Jeb Bradley in the State House; sponsor said Bradley approved and offered to pay for framing.
Sen. Denise Ricciardi asked the EDNA Committee to approve Senate Bill 186 to permit the Joint Legislative Historical Committee to accept and display a portrait of former Senator Jeb Bradley in the State House.
Ricciardi described Bradley's long public-service record—service in the U.S. House, as a state senator and as Senate president—and said she had spoken with him, who "said, I love it... I'll pay for it." No witnesses opposed the bill; committee members discussed wall space and the process for acceptance and display.
Nut graf: The measure is procedural—it authorizes acceptance and display of a portrait under the committee's ordinary criteria—and the sponsor said there is no fiscal note because Senator Bradley offered to fund the portrait.
Ending: The committee consented to advance the bill; Ricciardi said she would follow up with the historical committee on placement details.
