Summary of HJR 712 — Memorials, Recognition: Adam Bullock

A concise, non-technical overview of the bill as filed.

Basic Information

  • Bill Number: HJR 712
  • Title: Memorials, Recognition — Adam Bullock
  • Type: Joint Resolution (concurrent with Senate)
  • Sponsor: Powers
  • Introduced: November 20, 2025
  • Status: Filed for introduction (as of filing date)
  • Subject: Memorials and recognition

Purpose and Intent

  • The primary purpose of HJR 712 is ceremonial recognition of an individual, Adam Bullock, for professional achievement.
  • Specifically, it commends Mr. Bullock upon his selection for inclusion in The National Trial Lawyers: Top 10 Probate and Estate Trial Lawyers Association.

Key Provisions and Content

  • Commendation: The resolution states that Adam Bullock, of the Bullock Law Firm, PLLC, La Follette, has distinguished himself with devotion, ability, and integrity.
  • Honor Description: It explains that he was selected for inclusion in The National Trial Lawyers: Top 10 Probate and Estate Trial Lawyers Association, an honor limited to the top ten probate/estate trial lawyers from each state.
  • Selection Process (described): The association’s selection is by invitation only and involves a multi-phase process that includes peer nominations and third-party research. Membership is presented as an accreditation and networking resource for probate and estate attorneys nationwide.
  • Purpose of the Organization: The resolution describes the association as a professional honor and information/resource network providing accreditation, legal news, continuing education, and networking for probate and estate practitioners.
  • Citation Scope: The resolution frames the recognition as a testament to Mr. Bullock’s qualifications, leadership, and performance in his area of practice.
  • Copy for Presentation: The bill provides that an appropriate copy of the resolution be prepared for presentation, with specific formatting instructions: the language immediately following the State seal should appear without House or Senate designation, and a final clause may be omitted from the copy upon request.

Who Is Affected

  • Primary individual: Adam Bullock (and to a lesser extent, his firm, Bullock Law Firm, PLLC, in La Follette).
  • Professional community: Tennessee probate and estate attorneys, and members/readers of The National Trial Lawyers top-tier probate/estate practitioners.
  • Public/constituents: General public, who gain formal recognition of a local attorney’s national-level honor.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

  • Status/Process: A joint resolution, not a bill that changes law, aimed at ceremonial recognition. If adopted by both chambers, it serves as an official commendation.
  • Next Steps: After introduction, the measure would need passage by both the Tennessee House of Representatives and the Senate (and any standard concurrence processes) to become an official memorial.
  • Fiscal/Policy Impact: None indicated; ceremonial text typically has no budgetary or regulatory effect.

Note

  • This summary reflects the current version text provided, which emphasizes recognition and does not create regulatory or fiscal changes.
