House Joint Resolution 182, sponsored by Rudder, proposes 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 and a reflection of God's design for familial structure. It highlights the historical significance of the nuclear family in Tennessee and the United States, asserting that it has been crucial for societal prosperity. The resolution also addresses the negative consequences associated with fatherless families, citing various statistics that link the absence of a father to increased poverty, substance abuse, mental health issues, and criminal behavior among youth.

Furthermore, the resolution expresses concern that the nuclear family is under threat from ideologies promoted by organizations such as the World Health Organization and the United Nations, which the resolution claims advocate for population control through sterilization and abortion. It calls for the protection and support of traditional family values, aligning with the long-held beliefs of Tennessee. Ultimately, the resolution seeks to unite the citizens of Tennessee in recognizing and celebrating the nuclear family during the designated month, while also commending efforts to uphold these values in the face of contemporary challenges.
