A RESOLUTION to honor Kyra Perkins of the Walters State Community College women's basketball team.
Summary
SJR0337 is a ceremonial joint resolution honoring Kyra Perkins of Walters State Community College for being named the Tennessee Community College Athletic Association (TCCAA) Women’s Basketball Player of the Week. The resolution highlights her late-season performance, including consecutive double-doubles, strong scoring and rebounding totals, and her season averages, presenting her as an example of athletic achievement, perseverance, and school pride.
The resolution does not create or amend any state law, change public policy, or appropriate funds. Its effect is limited to an official expression of recognition by the Tennessee General Assembly, with a copy of the resolution to be prepared for presentation. As a result, the bill’s practical impact is symbolic rather than regulatory, and it primarily affects the honoree and the Walters State Community College community through public acknowledgment.
The general sentiment around the resolution is strongly positive and celebratory. The bill passed both recorded floor actions unanimously, first by a 30-0 vote to adopt and later by a 96-0 vote on consent calendar passage, indicating broad bipartisan support and no visible opposition in the available record. The language of the resolution is complimentary throughout and frames Ms. Perkins as a standout student-athlete deserving of recognition.
There is no notable policy contention because the measure is a tribute resolution rather than substantive legislation. The only substantive discussion reflected in the text is praise for Ms. Perkins’s athletic accomplishments and character. Any interest in the bill appears to center on honoring a local college athlete and recognizing success in Tennessee community college sports.
Impact
This resolution has no effect on Tennessee statutes, administrative rules, or legal rights and duties. Its impact is limited to formal legislative recognition of Kyra Perkins and, by extension, Walters State Community College and the Tennessee community college athletic program. It serves as an honorary statement of commendation rather than a change in law.
Sentiment
The sentiment is uniformly positive. The resolution is framed as a celebration of athletic excellence, and the recorded votes show unanimous support with no opposition. The absence of committee controversy or dissent suggests the measure was viewed as a routine and noncontroversial honorific resolution.
Contention
There is no meaningful contention apparent in the bill text, voting record, or available discussion. Because SJR0337 is a ceremonial resolution honoring a student athlete, it does not raise fiscal, legal, or policy disputes. The only identifiable focus is on recognizing Kyra Perkins’s performance and achievements.
