A RESOLUTION to honor Lynn Daugherty upon her outstanding career in banking.

Summary

Senate Joint Resolution 302 is a commemorative resolution honoring Lynn Daugherty for her outstanding career in banking. The resolution notes her 43 years in the banking industry, including 21 years with Wilson Bank & Trust where she served as manager before retiring. It also highlights her educational background, including graduation from Lebanon High School and a banking degree from Cumberland University, and recognizes her family and community ties in Lebanon, Tennessee. The resolution does not change state law, create new programs, or appropriate funds. Its effect is ceremonial only: it directs the General Assembly to formally recognize Daugherty’s service and to prepare an appropriate copy for presentation. As with other honorary resolutions, its practical impact is limited to public recognition and legislative commendation rather than legal or regulatory action.

Impact

SJR0302 has no substantive impact on Tennessee statutes, agency authority, or private rights. It is a ceremonial joint resolution that formally honors an individual and authorizes preparation of a presentation copy, but it does not amend, repeal, or create any law. The only affected parties are Lynn Daugherty, her family, Wilson Bank & Trust, and the Lebanon community, in the sense of public recognition.

Sentiment

The available voting history shows unanimous support, with a 29-0 floor vote to adopt and a 91-0 vote for passage on third consideration. That voting pattern indicates broad bipartisan approval and no recorded opposition. The tone of the bill itself is strongly positive and appreciative, emphasizing Daugherty’s dedication, integrity, retirement after a long career, and continued community service.

Contention

There is no evident contention in the bill text or voting record. Because the resolution is honorary and noncontroversial, no committee debate or dissenting viewpoints are provided. The only substantive focus is on celebrating Lynn Daugherty’s banking career and community involvement, which appears to have drawn unanimous agreement.
