Summary
House Resolution 12, sponsored by Representative Corey Holdaway, honored Holly Parker for decades of service preparing personnel actions, managing payroll, and supporting legislators; the resolution passed 74–0.
House Resolution 12, introduced by Representative Corey Holdaway, honored Holly (Hollis) Parker for more than three decades of service to the Utah State Legislature, including payroll and personnel responsibilities, facility work, and informal institutional leadership dating to the mid-1970s (reading and citation began at SEG 467). The reading clerk placed Parker's service in historical context and noted her work on the West Building design and long-standing support to members across party lines.
Seventy-five co-sponsors were noted in the proceedings; multiple representatives delivered personal remarks about Parker's steadiness, humor and practical help over the years. Representative Bowman said, "I've been here for 13 years, and you have made it bearable," and Representative Butters credited Parker with leadership training and encouragement that helped some members enter public service. Representative Holdaway observed that HR 12 carried—by his count—75 co-sponsors, a sign of broad support.
The House voted on HR 12; with 74 yes votes and 0 no votes (one member absent), the resolution passed. Lawmakers presented the resolution and offered thanks to Parker from the floor. The resolution was recorded as presented 03/01/2005.
What happens next: the resolution is ceremonial; a copy will be presented to Holly Parker in recognition of her retirement. The House's unanimous vote was the final formal action recorded in the session for HR 12.
