House Joint Resolution 182, sponsored by Hulsey, seeks to designate June 2025 as "Nuclear Family Month" in Tennessee. The resolution emphasizes the importance of the nuclear family—defined as a family unit consisting of a husband, wife, and their biological, adopted, or fostered children—as a foundational element of society. It highlights the historical significance of the nuclear family in Tennessee and the United States, citing various statistics that illustrate the negative impacts of fatherless homes on children, including increased poverty rates, substance abuse, mental health issues, and higher incarceration rates. The resolution expresses a commitment to uphold traditional family values in the face of perceived attacks on the nuclear family by global organizations.

An amendment to the resolution proposes to change the designation from June 2025 to June 2026. The resolution, along with the amendment, reflects a broader intention to promote and protect the traditional values associated with the nuclear family, which the sponsors believe are essential for the prosperity of Tennessee and its citizens.
