Legislature honors Utah Jazz with concurrent resolution after 1996–97 season
Summary
The House and Senate adopted a concurrent resolution (SCR101) honoring the Utah Jazz for the 1996–97 season, highlighting team achievements, community engagement and declaring Utah Jazz Day.
SALT LAKE CITY — Lawmakers read and adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution 101 on June 18, honoring the Utah Jazz for their 1996–97 season achievements and community contributions.
The resolution recited franchise history, referenced owner Larry Miller, coach Jerry Sloan, and star players (including Karl Malone and John Stockton), noted the team’s franchise records and Western Conference title run, and praised the organization’s volunteer and community efforts. Members offered floor tributes recounting the team’s unifying effect across the state.
The clerk recorded the concurrent resolution’s passage unanimously in the House (74 yes, 0 no), and the resolution was to be transmitted with copies sent to team members and leadership per the text.
The passage was ceremonial and noncontroversial; several members requested permission to amend or add a line in the reading and then offered personal remarks of appreciation to the team and owner Larry Miller.
Next steps: SCR101 was adopted and forwarded as a courtesy recognition to the Utah Jazz organization.
