Memorials, Retirement - Reverend Kenneth Hill -
HJR 320 is a ceremonial resolution honoring Reverend Kenneth Hill upon his retirement as pastor of Shorter Chapel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in Franklin, Tennessee. It recognizes his 43-year ministry career, including 10 years at Shorter Chapel, leadership roles in the AME Church, founding the community organization Unite Williamson, and contributions to education and faith-based initiatives. The resolution, passed by both chambers and signed by the Governor in March 2025, expresses the General Assembly's commendation but contains no policy changes or direct impact on constituents. It is purely symbolic recognition of his service.
