HB 208 – SB 276
SUMMARY OF BILL: Designates the National Guard Armory in Cheatham County as the
"First Sergeant Charles Anderson Douglas National Guard Armory". Directs the Department of
Military (DOM) to erect signage and markers designating the name change using existing resources.
FISCAL IMPACT:
STATE GOVERNMENT
EXPENDITURES General Fund
FY25-26 $12,500
Assumptions:
• Requiring DOM to fund the implementation of this legislation utilizing existing resources
does not remove the cost associated with the implementation because use of existing
funding will result in the need for additional resources to fund other currently-budgeted
departmental expenditures.
• Based on information provided by DOM, the cost for aluminum block letters is $130 per
letter. The cost to produce the 54 letters required by the proposed legislation is estimated to
be $7,020 ($130 per letter x 54 letters).
• It is estimated to cost $5,480 for installation, accounting for equipment, materials, and other
necessary expenses for proper placement of the letters.
• There will be a one-time increase in state expenditures in FY25-26 of $12,500 ($7,020 for
lettering + $5,480 for installation).
CERTIFICATION:
The information contained herein is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
