Bill > HR0089

This resolution declares June 13, 2025, as SURS Retiree Appreciation Day in Illinois, recognizing the State Universities Retirement System (SURS) retirees who have significantly contributed to the state's educational, economic, and social landscape. The resolution highlights that Illinois has approximately 63,000 SURS retirees from public universities and community colleges who have dedicated years of service to their institutions, families, and communities, and continue to contribute nearly $2 billion annually to the state and national economy. The resolution encourages Illinoisans to express gratitude to SURS retirees through community events, recognition ceremonies, and potential business discounts, and urges public officials to participate in celebrations that honor these retirees and showcase programs supporting their active and fulfilling lives. The ultimate goal is to emphasize the importance of maintaining a supportive and engaged community that values the contributions of citizens across all career stages and ages.
