A RESOLUTION to honor and congratulate Sofia Jenna-Lee Bodenhamer upon her receipt of the 2025 Good Neighbor Award from the Gamma Mu chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma.

Summary

House Resolution 71 is a ceremonial resolution honoring and congratulating Sofia Jenna-Lee Bodenhamer, a student at Roan Creek Elementary School, for receiving the 2025 Good Neighbor Award from the Gamma Mu chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma. The resolution praises her kindness, honesty, loyalty, willingness to help others, and positive influence on her peers, and it recognizes her as a role model and future leader. The resolution does not create, amend, or repeal any state law. Instead, it is an expression of the House of Representatives’ appreciation for a young Tennessean’s civic character and community-minded behavior, and it directs that an appropriate copy be prepared for presentation.

Impact

HR0071 has no substantive legal effect on Tennessee statutes, regulations, or public programs. Its impact is purely ceremonial: it formally recognizes an individual student and highlights the values of civility, compassion, respect, and good citizenship promoted by the Delta Kappa Gamma award and the House of Representatives.

Sentiment

The sentiment around the resolution is unanimously positive. The House passed it on the consent calendar by a 91-0 vote, indicating broad, noncontroversial support. The bill text itself is celebratory and complimentary, with no evidence of opposition in the available record.

Contention

There are no notable points of contention in the bill text, voting record, or available discussion materials. Because the measure is a congratulatory resolution rather than a policy bill, it appears to have been treated as routine ceremonial business and passed without debate or dissent.
