Bill > SJR0823

This resolution, passed by the Tennessee General Assembly, formally honors and commends the emergency services agencies, first responders, line workers, and volunteers from Sumner County and Trousdale County for their exceptional efforts during Winter Storm Fern. This severe winter storm, which began on January 24, 2026, brought a dangerous combination of snow, sleet, freezing rain, and frigid temperatures, causing widespread disruptions including impassable roads and extensive power outages. The resolution specifically recognizes the round-the-clock work of utility companies like Tri-County Electric Membership Corporation, Gallatin Department of Electricity, Nashville Electric Service, and Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation in restoring power, as well as the dedication of emergency services and volunteers who responded to accidents, checked on vulnerable residents, and maintained public safety under perilous conditions, demonstrating great integrity, skill, and a commitment to the welfare of their fellow citizens.
