The House adopted a series of ceremonial resolutions: HJR 810 honoring Wright Middle School's mariachi ensemble, HJR 811 commemorating the 100th anniversary of Black History Month, HJR 845 honoring Representative Tommy F. Brown, and HJR 848 memorializing Randy Tyree; each measure passed by voice or recorded tally and was declared adopted without objection.
Members moved and adopted a slate of ceremonial and commemorative resolutions on the floor. Representative Powell moved adoption of the resolution honoring Wright Middle School's Mariachi ensemble (HJR 8 10); the Clerk recorded the tally as "Ayes, 92; no nays; 1 present, not voting," and the measure was declared adopted. Leader Camper moved adoption of HJR 8 11 commemorating the 100th anniversary of Black History Month; it was likewise adopted by the chamber.
Later in the session the House adopted HJR 8 45 honoring the memory of Representative Tommy F. Brown of Chattanooga (vote recorded as "Ayes, 94") and HJR 8 48 honoring Randy Tyree of Knox County (Clerk report: 93 ayes, no nays, 1 present). These measures were presented, moved, seconded and adopted without recorded debate. Speaker: "All those in favor ... vote aye when the bell rings," was used to call each roll vote when a recorded tally was taken.
