HJR 648 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Memorials, Recognition - Judge Andy Brigham, Stewart County CASA -

HJR 648 is a ceremonial resolution honoring Judge Andy Brigham of Stewart County for his 14-year effort to establish the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program in Stewart County. It recognizes his work ensuring at-risk youth in foster care have dedicated volunteers advocating for their needs and voices in court. The resolution does not create new laws, allocate funding, or change policies - it is purely a symbolic tribute to Judge Brigham’s service. CASA volunteers provide monthly support to children in the system, but this resolution itself has no direct legal effect on the program or its operations.
