A RESOLUTION to honor and commend Stanley Gordon Jones II.
Summary
House Resolution 195 is a ceremonial resolution honoring and commending Stanley Gordon Jones II for his personal, professional, civic, and religious contributions. The resolution recounts his long marriage, family, engineering career, business leadership, and extensive work on projects in Tennessee, across the United States, and internationally. It also highlights his service and achievements in scouting, aviation, motorsports, church music, and faith-based outreach.
The measure does not create, amend, or repeal any state law. Instead, it is a nonbinding expression of appreciation by the Tennessee House of Representatives, intended to formally recognize Mr. Jones and present him with an official copy of the resolution. Its practical effect is limited to public recognition and commemoration rather than any regulatory or fiscal change.
Impact
HR0195 has no direct impact on Tennessee statutes, administrative rules, or government programs. As a simple honorary resolution, it does not alter legal rights or obligations for any person or entity; its only effect is to place the House’s commendation of Stanley Gordon Jones II into the official record and authorize presentation of an enrolled copy.
Sentiment
The sentiment around the resolution is overwhelmingly positive and celebratory. The bill passed the House on the consent calendar by a unanimous 89-0 vote, indicating broad bipartisan agreement and no recorded opposition. The tone of the resolution itself is laudatory, emphasizing Mr. Jones’s service, character, and accomplishments.
Contention
There is no notable policy contention in the bill or the recorded vote, because the resolution is honorary rather than substantive legislation. The only possible point of distinction is the breadth of the accolades—covering engineering, business, scouting, faith, music, and motorsports—but these are presented as reasons for commendation rather than matters of dispute. No committee debate or dissent is recorded in the available materials.
