AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee's state symbols law by officially designating the song "Tennessee" by the hip-hop group Arrested Development as a state song. Specifically, the bill adds the song to the existing list of state symbols in Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 4-1-302, recognizing the musical work as having special significance to the state. The legislation would take effect immediately upon becoming law, which means it would be enacted as soon as it is signed by the governor. By adding this song as a state song, the Tennessee General Assembly is acknowledging the cultural and artistic contribution of Arrested Development, a hip-hop group with roots in Atlanta that gained popularity in the early 1990s, and potentially highlighting the state's musical heritage.
