A RESOLUTION to honor and commend Wayne Brewer for his contributions to the State of Tennessee.

Summary

SJR0652 is a ceremonial joint resolution honoring and commending Wayne Brewer for his service to his community and to the State of Tennessee. The resolution recognizes Brewer for more than five years of providing free carpentry and plumbing repairs to disabled residents and people facing severe financial hardship, with the stated goal of helping them maintain safe and functional homes. The measure does not create, amend, or repeal any state law or statutory provision. Instead, it is a formal expression of appreciation by the General Assembly, directing that an appropriate copy of the resolution be prepared for presentation to Mr. Brewer. Its practical effect is limited to public recognition and commendation.

Impact

Because SJR0652 is a simple commendatory resolution, it has no direct legal or regulatory impact on Tennessee statutes, agencies, or private parties. It does not appropriate funds, establish a program, or alter rights or obligations; its only effect is to place the legislature’s official recognition of Wayne Brewer into the public record and to authorize presentation of the resolution in an appropriate form.

Sentiment

The available voting history shows unanimous support, with a 32-0 floor vote to adopt and a 91-0 vote for passage on third consideration. That voting pattern indicates strong bipartisan approval and an uncontroversial reception. The bill text itself is entirely laudatory, and there is no recorded committee debate or opposition in the provided materials.

Contention

There are no notable points of contention in the provided record. The resolution is purely honorary, and the votes were unanimous. Any discussion would likely have centered on Brewer’s volunteer service and community impact rather than on policy disagreements, but no committee transcripts or dissenting remarks are available here.
