Bill > HJR0182

This resolution seeks to designate June 2025 as "Nuclear Family Month" in Tennessee, affirming the traditional nuclear family (defined as one husband, one wife, and their biological, adopted, or fostered children) as a fundamental societal structure. The resolution presents statistical arguments about the potential negative consequences of fatherless households, including higher rates of poverty, substance abuse, mental health issues, school dropout rates, and incarceration. It positions the nuclear family as a foundational element of Tennessee's society and national prosperity, while explicitly contrasting Tennessee's values with what it describes as "humanistic, globalist ideologies" of international organizations like the World Health Organization and United Nations. The resolution frames the nuclear family as "God's perfect design" and suggests it is under attack, calling for its protection and support. By formally recognizing "Nuclear Family Month," the Tennessee legislature aims to uplift and celebrate this traditional family structure and the values associated with it.
