Bill > SJR0966

This resolution, passed by both the Tennessee Senate and House of Representatives, honors and congratulates CASA of East Tennessee on its fortieth anniversary. CASA, which stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates, is an organization that uses trained volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children, aiming to ensure they have the opportunity to thrive in safe and loving homes. Since its founding in 1986, CASA of East Tennessee has been instrumental in representing the best interests of children in the juvenile court system, with the court routinely accepting a high percentage of their recommendations for placement and services, leading to a strong success rate in children remaining in permanent homes. The resolution also commends the organization's volunteers for their dedication and the significant impact they have made, particularly noting a recent increase in volunteers and the hours of service they have provided to children.
