Summary
Senate Resolution 118 (SR0118) serves to commend Bradley Anderson for his exemplary service as a legislative intern. The resolution recognizes individuals who contribute positively to the legislative process, highlighting the importance of interns in the functioning of the Tennessee legislature. Bradley Anderson, a student at Lipscomb University, received this commendation for his dedication and the significant benefits he brought to the legislators and the General Assembly during the 2023 session.
Contention
