Senate Joint Resolution 1022, sponsored by McNally, proposes the installation of a bust in the State Capitol to honor Anne M. Davis, recognized as the founding mother of Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP). The resolution highlights Davis's significant contributions to the establishment of the park, including her role in generating public support, sponsoring legislation for land acquisition, and her leadership in the Tennessee General Assembly. It details her background, her advocacy for conservation, and her efforts to persuade lawmakers to support the park's creation, culminating in the park's dedication in 1940.

The resolution calls for the State Capitol Commission to oversee the creation and installation of the bust, which will be placed near the Senate chambers. It also allows for a contest, sponsored by the Tennessee Arts Commission, to select an artist for the bust, with the final choice subject to approval by the State Capitol and State Building Commissions. Additionally, the resolution stipulates that the project is contingent upon funding appropriated by the General Assembly and permits the acceptance of private donations to cover costs associated with the bust's creation and installation.
