Memorials, Recognition - Larry Riggsbee -
HJR 55 is a resolution passed by the Tennessee General Assembly to honor Larry Riggsbee for his 30+ years of service as Sumner County Schools Transportation Director, during which he maintained a safety record with no student injuries requiring hospitalization or fatalities. The resolution recognizes his founding of the Tennessee Association of Pupil Transportation in 1982 and his 2024 induction into the National Association of Pupil Transportation Hall of Fame. As a symbolic gesture of appreciation, the resolution does not create new laws or policies but formally commends Riggsbee’s contributions to student safety and the transportation industry.
