Senate Bill 1468 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 58, Chapter 1, by adding a new section that designates the army national guard armory located in McNairy County as the "Brigadier General Donald F. Hawkins Army National Guard Armory." This designation honors Brigadier General Donald F. Hawkins for his over thirty-six years of service in the Tennessee National Guard, where he rose from Private to Brigadier General and commanded the 30th Separate Armored Brigade until his retirement in 1997.

Additionally, the bill directs the Department of Military to use existing resources to erect suitable signs or markers to designate the armory with its new name. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of recognizing General Hawkins' contributions to the military and the state of Tennessee.
