The resolution formally salutes Randle and the team for their athletic success and exemplary character. As a commemorative measure, it does not create new laws or affect policy.

Maddy summaryThis House Resolution (HR 128) is a ceremonial honor for Malik Williamson, an 8th-grade student and key player on Elmore Park Middle School's boys' basketball team. It commemorates the team's achievement of winning three consecutive TMSAA Class AAA state championships with a perfect 31-0 record each season, resulting in a combined 96-0 win-loss record over three years.

The resolution recognizes his role in the team's third consecutive TMSAA Class AAA state championship (with a 96-0 record over three seasons) and celebrates their historic achievement as the first Tennessee team to win three straight titles without a loss.

Maddy summaryHB 1131 clarifies that Tennessee's Department of Children's Services must report annual child support information to the General Assembly and governor by January 31 each year. The bill amends multiple Tennessee Code sections (including Titles 4, 8, 33, 34, 36, 37, 41, 49, 68, and 71) to update the reporting deadline from a dated reference ("January 31, 1998, and annually thereafter") to the current annual requirement ("on or before January 31 of each year"). This is a procedural clarification affecting the Department of Children's Services' reporting obligations, not a substantive policy change. The bill failed in committee on April 9, 2025.

Maddy summaryHB 1165 amends Tennessee sentencing laws to require judges to consider as a sentencing factor that an adult defendant committed a criminal offense with a minor, regardless of whether the minor was convicted. This change directly affects adult defendants in criminal cases where a minor was involved in the offense. The bill adds this factor to the list of considerations judges must weigh when determining a sentence within the legally permitted range. It applies to offenses committed on or after July 1, 2025, and would impact sentencing outcomes for such cases statewide.

Maddy summaryHB 862 requires the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR) to study the economic impact of cosmetology and barbering professions in Tennessee, including the revenue they generate and the jobs they support. TACIR may request data from state agencies like the Department of Commerce and Insurance, which must provide it, and the study must use TACIR’s existing resources without new funding. After completing the study, TACIR must report findings, recommendations, and any proposed legislation to the relevant legislative committees and the legislative librarian. This bill does not change current regulations but mandates a data-driven review for potential future policy decisions.

Maddy summaryHB 1166 requires Tennessee law enforcement agencies to investigate workplace bullying simultaneously with crimes of violence in the workplace (like assaults or threats). It mandates that agencies report findings to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), which must then compile annual reports on workplace bullying and violence for legislative committees. The bill directly affects law enforcement agencies conducting workplace crime investigations, the TBI (responsible for compiling reports), and legislative committees receiving the reports. It defines "bullying" as behavior causing physical harm or reasonable fear of harm to coworkers in workplaces like factories or offices. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, creating a new reporting mechanism for workplace safety concerns.

Maddy summaryHJR 368 is a ceremonial resolution honoring Pastor Ricky Floyd, founder of The Pursuit of God Transformation Center in Memphis, following his passing. It recognizes his community work, including founding mentoring programs like the Husband Institute, founding Salvation Revelation Ministries, and creating jobs through refurbished property to support single-parent households. The resolution expresses condolences to his family and commemorates his contributions to faith-based community healing, crime reduction, and family strengthening in Memphis. As a memorial resolution, it has no legal effect or policy changes.

Maddy summaryHB 1132 extends the time businesses have to respond to verified consumer data requests under Tennessee's Information Protection Act, increasing the deadline from 45 to 50 days. This change directly affects businesses (referred to as "controllers" in the law) that handle personal data and consumers who submit authenticated requests for data access or correction. The bill amends specific sections of Tennessee law to implement this 5-day extension, which applies to all covered requests. The change will take effect on July 1, 2025, as specified in the bill.
