Bill > HJR1485

This resolution, passed by the Tennessee House of Representatives and concurred with by the Senate, formally honors and congratulates the students of Dresden High School for receiving the Anne Dallas Dudley Gold Level Award. This award, initiated by the Secretary of State in 2021, aims to boost voter registration among Tennessee students who will be eligible to vote by the next election, thereby encouraging civic engagement. The award is named after Anne Dallas Dudley, a significant figure in the women's suffrage movement who fought for the ratification of the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote. Dresden High School achieved a remarkable feat by registering 100 percent of their eligible student voters, earning them the Gold Level recognition and highlighting their commitment to becoming future civic leaders. The resolution also includes provisions for preparing an official copy of the resolution for presentation.
