Senate Joint Resolution 114, sponsored by Johnson, seeks to confirm the appointment of Rosemary McIlhenny to the Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission. This commission, established under Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 70-1-201, consists of nine members appointed by the governor. Governor Bill Lee has nominated McIlhenny to represent the 5th district, with her term set to expire on February 28, 2031. McIlhenny, a native of Avery Island, Louisiana, has a strong background in conservation and wildlife stewardship, influenced by her family's 200-year legacy in this field.

In addition to her role on the commission, McIlhenny is actively involved in various organizations, including the Land Trust of Tennessee, where she serves as chair, and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. She is dedicated to promoting outdoor recreation and mentoring new hunters, particularly women, to ensure accessibility to state programs. Her extensive experience and commitment to conservation make her a valuable asset to the commission. The resolution calls for her appointment to be confirmed by the relevant committees in the Tennessee General Assembly.
