Memorials, Heroism - Evan Boyd -

House Joint Resolution 118 is a commemorative resolution passed by the Tennessee General Assembly to honor Evan Boyd, a 14-year-old Gordonsville High School student, for his heroic actions on January 30, 2025. The resolution recognizes Boyd's quick thinking in disarming a classmate who had brought a BB gun resembling a handgun to school, preventing a potential tragedy. It was approved by both legislative chambers and signed by the Governor on February 21, 2025, as a formal expression of commendation. This resolution has no legal effect or policy changes - it solely serves to publicly recognize Boyd's bravery.
