Memorials, Recognition - Bea's Restaurant, 75th anniversary -
HJR 148 is a ceremonial resolution honoring Bea's Restaurant in Chattanooga for its 75th anniversary. It recognizes the restaurant's history since 1950, its family ownership spanning four generations (the Steeles and Bradshaws), and its role as a community gathering place serving Southern cuisine. The resolution has no legal effect or policy changes - it simply expresses the General Assembly's commendation for the restaurant's service, longevity, and contribution to Chattanooga's culture. This is a purely symbolic gesture with no impact on laws, regulations, or affected parties.
