The bill is a House Resolution commending Corey Bedenbaugh, a social studies teacher at Batesburg-Leesville Middle School, for his dedication to providing quality education in South Carolina and congratulating him on being named the 2026 South Carolina Teacher of the Year. The resolution highlights Bedenbaugh's passion for teaching, his impact on students, and the recognition he received during the South Carolina Department of Education's annual Gala in the Garden on April 24, 2025.

As part of his award, Bedenbaugh received $25,000 and a BMW for one year, during which he will serve as a roving ambassador for the teaching profession, attending events, mentoring, and representing over 64,000 educators in the state. The resolution expresses the House's appreciation for his achievements and extends best wishes for his upcoming year as a statewide ambassador. A copy of the resolution will be presented to Bedenbaugh.
