SB 504 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Naming and Designating - As introduced, names the desk of house chamber seat number 60 as the “Legislative Desk of Representative John J. Deberry, Jr.”; directs the chief clerk of the house of representatives, or the chief clerk’s designee, to design and provide for the installation of a commemorative plaque on the side of the desk of house chamber seat number 60 to recognize the official name of such desk. - Amends TCA Title 3, Chapter 1 and Title 4, Chapter 8.

SB 504 names the desk at House chamber seat number 60 as the "Legislative Desk of Representative John J. Deberry, Jr." and requires the House chief clerk to install a commemorative plaque on that desk. The bill directly affects the Tennessee House of Representatives chamber by permanently recognizing a former representative's service. It does not change laws or policies but creates a physical tribute through naming and a plaque. This is a procedural, commemorative measure with no substantive policy impact.
