Honoring
James C. Lilly for his service to the State of Ohio.

WHEREAS,
The members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio are
pleased to pay tribute to James C. Lilly on the memorable occasion of
his retirement from the Ohio Legislative Service Commission, July 31,
2025; and

WHEREAS,
Jim Lilly’s sterling reputation and dedication to public service
have been a source of pride throughout the whole of his more than
thirty-two-year tenure with the Legislative Service Commission.
Shepherding the agency through some of its most challenging times as
well as witnessing its evolution, he has set himself apart as a
consummate professional and an asset to our state’s legislative
endeavors, and he has been celebrated for being an earnest supporter
of Ohio and its elected officials; and

WHEREAS,
Jim Lilly has been one of the Ohio Legislative Service Commission’s
most capable ambassadors, and by giving graciously of his time,
skill, and expertise, he has demonstrated a praiseworthy commitment
to the success of the agency as well as to the effectiveness of the
Ohio General Assembly; and

WHEREAS,
Jim Lilly’s expansive professional endeavors have been instrumental
to the Ohio Legislative Service Commission, to the Ohio General
Assembly, and to the public at-large, but most of all, he has been
greatly admired by his colleagues and all those who have had the
pleasure of working with him. Throughout his distinguished career, he
has embodied the tenets of dependability, sincerity, and altruism
that have benefited his peers and his fellow citizens, and his
exemplary work ethic has become his enduring legacy; therefore be it

RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of
Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, extend a heartfelt salute to James
C. Lilly, a fine Ohioan, and offer best wishes for a happy, healthy
retirement; and be it further

RESOLVED,
That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of
this Resolution to James C. Lilly.
