The resolution, titled "Alabama, A State of Character," emphasizes the importance of instilling positive character qualities such as kindness, courage, and honesty in the citizens of Alabama. It acknowledges the detrimental effects of irresponsibility and a lack of commitment to these values, which have led to various social issues, including family problems and increased costs for taxpayers due to lower productivity and higher demand for social services. The resolution advocates for character education in schools and the promotion of character-building strategies to reduce juvenile delinquency and improve community well-being.

The Alabama Legislature reaffirms its previous declarations of Alabama as a State of Character and calls for collaboration among various stakeholders, including schools, businesses, and community organizations, to implement effective character education programs. By fostering a culture of character, the resolution aims to enhance workplace morale, safety, and overall societal health, positioning Alabama to compete effectively in the 21st-century job market. The legislature pledges to support and promote these initiatives across multiple sectors to positively influence the state and contribute to the broader "States of Character" movement.
