SB 2312 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Naming and Designating - As enacted, designates the annual winner of the Old Time Bluegrass and Fiddlers' Jamboree as the state champion fiddler in this state. - Amends TCA Title 3; Title 4 and Title 15.

This bill officially recognizes the annual winner of the Old Time Bluegrass and Fiddlers' Jamboree in Holladay as Tennessee's state champion fiddler. It amends state code to formally designate this title for the competition winner, which has been held since 1957 and celebrates traditional fiddle music. The bill does not create new programs or funding - it simply establishes a ceremonial recognition for the event's top fiddler. This designation directly affects the winner of the West Tennessee Fiddlers' Championship held each April in Holladay.
