The Tennessee Senate unanimously adopted Senate Joint Resolution 665 honoring former Sen. Jim Tracy after suspending the rules for immediate consideration.
Senator Reeves, who sponsored SJR665, asked the chamber to add co-sponsors and said, “the hope is to get this done here and in the house and get it framed and bring Tracy here in a few weeks.” The motion to suspend the rules carried without objection and the resolution was adopted by voice vote.
The resolution was presented and passed as a ceremonial measure; the Senate chair directed that all members who wished be added as co-sponsors. No formal vote tally beyond the voice adoption was recorded in the transcript. The Senate returned to legislative business following the brief recognition.
