TO HONOR BLUES MUSICIAN, COMPOSER, RECORD PRODUCER, AND SINGER BOBBY RUSH FOR HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO MUSIC AND TO THE STATE OF ARKANSAS.
HR 1038 is a ceremonial House Resolution honoring blues musician Bobby Rush for his musical contributions and connection to Arkansas. It recognizes his Arkansas roots (including his teenage years in Pine Bluff), Grammy Awards, and induction into multiple music halls of fame. The resolution requires the Arkansas House of Representatives to present a copy of the resolution to Bobby Rush upon adoption. This is purely symbolic, with no policy changes or legal effects, as it is a non-binding expression of appreciation.
