Legislative bill overview

SJR 20 is a memorial resolution honoring Linda Sklar upon her retirement. The bill was introduced by Representative Raumesh Akbari in Tennessee and has completed the legislative process, receiving gubernatorial signature on February 10, 2025.

Why is this important

Potential points of contention
