Memorials, Interns - Cleveland Buchanan Wilson -
SJR 461 is a symbolic joint resolution commending Cleveland Buchanan Wilson for his exemplary service as a legislative intern for Senator Steve Southerland during the 2025 legislative session. The resolution recognizes his dedication to the legislative process, academic achievements (including being on the Dean's List at Tennessee State University), and personal qualities like generosity. It does not create any new laws or policy changes - it is purely a formal expression of appreciation.
