SJR 891 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Memorials, Recognition - 251st anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord -

This bill is a joint resolution that formally commemorates the 251st anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 2026. It directly affects the Tennessee state government by authorizing the Senate and House of Representatives to join with patriotic and veterans' organizations in honoring this historical event. The resolution acknowledges the significance of the battles in American history and encourages participation in the commemoration, but it does not create new laws or require specific actions from citizens or officials. The primary outcome is a ceremonial recognition of the historical event rather than a change in policy or funding.
