Senate Bill 810 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 4-1-315, regarding the state mottos. The bill deletes the existing section and replaces it with a new provision that officially recognizes two mottos for the state: "Agriculture and Commerce," which has been part of the state seal since 1801, and the new motto "Send Me."
The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of the public welfare in its implementation. This change reflects a formal acknowledgment of the state's historical motto while introducing a contemporary phrase that may resonate with current values or sentiments.
