The resolution honors the memory of David Pryor, a former governor of Arkansas and United States Senator, who passed away on April 20, 2024, at the age of eighty-nine. It highlights his significant contributions to public service, beginning with his election to the Arkansas House of Representatives in 1960, followed by his tenure in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he advocated for the elderly and played a key role in establishing the Select Committee on Aging. Pryor later served as governor from 1974 to 1976 and was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1978, where he was known for his effective legislation, including the Taxpayer Bill of Rights.

The resolution expresses condolences to Pryor's family and acknowledges his lasting impact on Arkansas and American politics. It notes his commitment to public service even after retiring from the Senate, including roles at the University of Arkansas and Harvard Kennedy School. The resolution concludes by recognizing Pryor as one of Arkansas's most beloved political figures, with tributes from notable individuals, including former President Bill Clinton, who praised him as "one of America's greatest advocates." A copy of the resolution will be provided to Pryor's family by the Secretary of the Senate.
