Senate Bill 2578, also known as House Bill 2116, amends the Tennessee Code Annotated to honor Charles 'Charlie' J. Lewis by designating the residential burn building at the Tennessee fire services and codes enforcement academy as the "Charles 'Charlie' J. Lewis Residential Burn Building." This designation recognizes Lewis's significant contributions and legacy within the firefighting community in Tennessee.
Additionally, the bill directs the academy to use existing resources to create and install appropriate signage or markers to officially designate the building with its new name. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of this recognition for public welfare.
