Bill Summary · HJR 38

Legislative bill overview

HJR 38 is a memorial resolution introduced by Bill Freeman in Tennessee that honors someone named Death (likely a person's surname). The bill has completed the full legislative process and was signed by the Governor on February 4, 2025.

Why is this important

Memorial resolutions are ceremonial measures that formally recognize and honor individuals, typically for significant contributions or achievements. While not creating law or allocating funds, they serve as official state recognition and are placed in the legislative record.

Potential points of contention

  • Lack of publicly available details about who is being memorialized or why, making it difficult to assess the appropriateness of state recognition
  • Memorial resolutions, while symbolic, consume legislative time and resources that could potentially be directed toward substantive policy matters
  • No information available regarding whether this memorial was universally supported or if there were competing perspectives on the honoree
