State Symbols - Recognizes the Christian Heritage Flag as the official flag representing Christian Heritage Month in Tennessee. -
This resolution recognizes the Christian Heritage Flag as the official symbol representing Tennessee's designated Christian Heritage Month (November). It does not create new laws or obligations but formally acknowledges a flag featuring religious symbolism - such as a white stripe for the Old Testament, blue stripes for the seven days of creation, and a medallion for the New Testament. The resolution applies to state observances during November, consistent with prior law designating November as Christian Heritage Month. It is a symbolic gesture with no policy impact beyond official recognition.
