A resolution acknowledging the lifetime of service of Sandra Day O'Connor to the United States as a successful Arizona State Senator, trailblazer, expert collaborator, educational advocate, and one of the great Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Senate Resolution 499 is a formal tribute honoring the life and legacy of Sandra Day O’Connor, who passed away in December 2023. The resolution officially recognizes her historic achievements as the first woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, her leadership in the Arizona State Senate, and her lifelong commitment to civic education. As a "simple resolution," this measure does not create new laws or allocate taxpayer funding; instead, it serves as a permanent public record of the federal government’s gratitude for her decades of public service.
