Bill Summary · SJR 946

Legislative bill overview

SJR 946 is a memorial resolution adopted by the Tennessee Senate that recognizes and honors Father Michael Woods. The bill passed unanimously through the legislative process and was formally adopted on March 26, 2026.

Why is this important

Memorial resolutions serve an official governmental function by formally acknowledging individuals' contributions, service, or achievements on the public record. This creates a permanent legislative record of recognition that may be presented to the honoree, their family, or relevant institutions.

Potential points of contention

  • Lack of public information: The bill text itself is unavailable in this summary, making it impossible to assess what specific achievements or service are being commemorated
  • Limited substantive policy impact: Memorial resolutions do not create law or allocate resources; they are ceremonial in nature with no binding governmental effect
  • Selective recognition: Questions may arise about criteria for which individuals receive legislative memorials versus others with similar contributions
