Senate Joint Resolution 83, sponsored by Massey, proposes to officially commemorate February 22, 2025, as George Washington Day in Tennessee. The resolution highlights the significant contributions of George Washington, the Founding Father of the United States, who was born on this date in 1732. It emphasizes his leadership as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, his role in establishing civilian authority over the military, and his pivotal contributions to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution. Washington's commitment to public service, religious freedom, and the moral complexities of slavery are also acknowledged, along with his legacy of humility and dedication to democratic principles.

The resolution encourages Tennessee residents to honor Washington's legacy by visiting Mount Vernon, which offers educational opportunities to learn about his life and ideals. It calls on citizens to reflect on and celebrate Washington's enduring impact on the founding and preservation of the nation. The resolution concludes with a directive for an appropriate copy to be prepared for presentation, omitting specific legislative designations.
