State Symbols - As introduced, designates "Tennessee" by Arrested Development as an official state song. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 1, Part 3.

HB 43 proposes to amend Tennessee law by designating "Tennessee" by Arrested Development as an official state song, adding it to the list of state symbols under Tennessee Code §4-1-302. This procedural bill would formally recognize the song as a state symbol, directly affecting Tennessee's official cultural representation. The bill failed in the State & Local Government Committee on February 19, 2025, and has not become law. As a naming/designation bill, it does not create new policy but seeks to adopt a specific song as an official state emblem.
