Bill Summary · HJR 1340

Legislative bill overview

HJR 1340 is a memorial resolution introduced in the Tennessee House of Representatives honoring Angela Carol Allmand following her death. Memorial resolutions are ceremonial legislative measures that acknowledge the passing of notable individuals and express the legislature's respect for their life and contributions.

Why is this important

Memorial resolutions serve as official state recognition of an individual's passing and their significance to the community or state. While non-binding and ceremonial in nature, they provide families formal legislative acknowledgment and create an official record of the person's recognition by elected representatives.

Potential points of contention

  • Memorial resolutions are generally non-controversial, though occasionally questions arise about which individuals receive legislative memorials versus others
  • No substantive policy implications exist, as these are purely ceremonial measures
  • The consent calendar expedites passage, meaning limited floor debate or amendment opportunity
