His contributions to expanding maternity and paternity leave for state employees and ensuring important civic rights for homeless students are highlighted to showcase his dedication to the community.

Summary

HJR7023 is a resolution introduced in the Tennessee General Assembly to honor the memory of Representative Bill Beck, who served the 51st House District from the 109th to the 113th General Assemblies. Representative Beck is remembered for his public-spirited service and his significant contributions to legislative processes.
