Bill Summary · HJR 911

Legislative bill overview

HJR 911 is a memorial resolution in Tennessee honoring Allan Dale Hannah. The bill passed through both chambers with unanimous support and serves as an official legislative recognition of this individual.

Why is this important

Memorial resolutions create an official legislative record honoring citizens and their contributions to their communities and state. While non-binding, they reflect legislative priorities regarding who receives formal recognition and can become part of the state's historical record.

Potential points of contention

  • Limited public information: The bill text does not specify Allan Dale Hannah's accomplishments, profession, or why legislative recognition was warranted, making independent evaluation of appropriateness difficult
  • Memorial resolution volume: States sometimes pass numerous memorial resolutions, raising questions about resource allocation and whether all deserve formal legislative time
  • Transparency concern: The unanimous passage and consent calendar placement suggest minimal debate or public scrutiny of the honoree's background or qualifications for recognition
