House Bill 325 aims to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 15, Chapter 2, by establishing March 13 of each year as "Father Charles Strobel Day." This observance is intended to honor Father Strobel's significant contributions to combating homelessness in Tennessee, particularly through his founding of the Room in the Inn, which has become a national model for assisting the homeless. The bill highlights Father Strobel's dedication to his community and his efforts to provide shelter and support for those in need.
The new legal language inserted into the current law designates March 13 as a special day of observance in recognition of Father Strobel's mission and the positive impact of his work on homelessness, both locally and nationally. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging Father Strobel's legacy in the fight against homelessness.
