Description
House Agriculture Subcommittee House Hearing Room 3
A
A
A
The
u.s
imports
129
billion
dollars
worth
of
agricultural
products
each
year,
but
the
nation
maintains
a
positive
trade
balance
by
exporting
bill.
100
737
billion
dollars
worth
of
harvested
goods
soybeans
are
planted
on
more
acres
than
any
other
row
crop
in
tennessee
and
is
currently
the
primary
commodity
in
the
state
for
cash
receipts.
A
According
to
the
u.s
department
of
agriculture,
the
most
valuable
crop
grown
in
tennessee
is
soybeans,
with
a
total
number
of
a
million
and
a
half
acres
planted
and
a
production
quantity
of
76
million
bushels
last
year.
Since
2010
soybean
acreage
has
increased
about
two
to
four
percent
per
year.
In
2016,
the
tennessean
tennessee
soybean
production
cash
receipts
contributed
680.3
million
dollars
to
the
total
crop,
yield
and
climbed
to
965
million
last
year.
A
D
You,
mr
chairman
committee,
as
I
was
thinking
about
this
bill,
I
know
every
one
of
you
hate
the
bill
and
got
people
worked
up
all
across
tennessee
on
this
bill
and
it's
funny
the
ones
I've
called,
and
some
of
you
just
can't
wait
to
vote
against
me.
So
I
understand
that,
and
so
thank
you
for
indulging
me
just
for
a
few
seconds.
D
If
any
of
you
know
me
very
well
know
that
I'm
an
avid
hiker
I've
hiked
all
over
the
state.
I've
had
the
privilege
of
knocking
doors
all
over
the
state.
In
the
last
four
or
five
years
of
my
life,
I've
been
amazed
at
the
litter
problem
in
tennessee
it
it's
it's
a
it's
a
sore
spot
for
me.
Anybody
who
cares
about
our
state
and
loves
our
state,
it
it
looks
terrible,
it
hurts
us.
It
hurts
us
with
industry,
those
of
us
that
care
about
the
outdoors.
D
D
Tasser
is
studying
this,
which,
if
y'all,
have
any
respect
for
tasha,
which
I
do
they're
they've
got
industry
leaders
and
people
coming
from
all
over
the
state,
and
if
the
lord
allows
me
to
come
back
next
year,
hopefully
tasha
will
have
something
that
we
can
live
with,
along
with
the
bottling
industry
and
everybody
else
who's
working
on
this.
So
I'm
with
y'all's
permission
I
like
to
take
it
off
notice,
but
I
just
like
to
go
on
record
saying
what
we're
doing
currently
in
tennessee
doesn't
work
and
it's
getting
worse.
D
A
E
And
the
amendment
makes
the
bill
and
what
we're
doing
with
this
bill
is
in
the
state
of
tennessee.
We
have
a
185
000
lifetime
license
holders
for
hunting
and
fishing
license
185
000
and
they
buy
them
up
front
and
they
there's
no
more
money
from
the
rest
of
their
life.
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
is
come
up
with
a
vehicle
where
we
can
invest
that
money
and
make
some
returns
off
of
that
without
having
to
go
up
on
hunting
and
fishing
license
in
the
now
or
in
the
future.
E
This
requires
that
the
income
earned
and
accruing
from
investments
of
the
trust
must
only
be
used
for
the
exclusive
benefit
of
lifetime
sportsman
license
holders
and
to
pay
the
reasonable
expenses
incurred
in
administrating
investing
to
trust
assets.
This
creates
a
group
of
trustees
that
will
oversee
the
the
sportsman
fund
and
prescribed
investment
policies
and
guidelines.
The
state
treasurer
and
the
treasury's
designation
shall
serve
on
the
chair
of
such
committee.
E
What
we're
doing
is
we're
making
this
trust
and
that
way
these
funds,
which
is
71
million
dollars
that
are
sitting
in
a
with
the
treasure
now
they're
making
113
000
interest
a
year.
If
we
change
the
makeup
of
this
and
do
this
this
trust,
then
the
treasurer
can
invest
it
like
he
does
with
our
retirement
funds
and
we're
hoping
that
we'll
be
able
to
take
in
four
to
five
million
dollars
a
year
which
will
help
us
not
increase
our
license
in
the
future.
With
that
I'll
answer,
any
questions.
A
Thank
you
for
that
explanation.
Any
questions
or
comments
on
the
bill.
A
We
have
a
question
called
on
the
amendment.
There's
no
objections
we'll
be
voting
on
the
amendment
drafting
code,
one
four,
six,
four,
eight
all
in
favor
say
aye
opposed
the
eyes
have
it.
The
amendment
goes
on
the
bill
and
the
amendment
makes
the
bill.
As
I
understand
so
then,
seeing
no
objections
to
question.
We
will
be
voting
on
house
bill
2129,
as
amended
all
in
favor,
say
aye
all
opposed
the
eyes
have
it
your
bill.
Moves
on.
A
A
Brings
us
to
item
number
two
house
bill
2168
and
that's
been
asked.
We've
been
asked
to
roll
that
one
week
without
objection.
Roll
one
week,
item
number
three
is
by
chairman
hawford
would
would
you
have
any
objection?
I
don't
know
if
we've
got
other
members
that
are
we'll
we'll
roll
this
to
the
heel
and
we
try
to
take
care
of
outside
members
before
we
get
to
committee
members,
and
that
brings
us.
A
A
E
Thank
you
very
much.
The
amendment
does
make
the
bill,
I
might
add,
so
the
the
physical
note
summary
is
spot
on
regarding
the
digest
of
this.
It
prohibits
the
twra
from
seizing
personal
property
of
a
person
without
due
process
and
further
requires
a
court
order
prior
to
seizure
of
personal
property
members
that,
more
specifically
it's
it's
relative
to
a
motor
vehicle
or
anything
that
is
drawn
by
that
motor
vehicle,
such
as
camper
trailers.
With
that,
I
will
entertain
any
questions
regarding
the
amendment
you're
still
on
the
amendment.
A
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
that's
has,
has
tw
already
been
seizing
property.
E
Jeremy
keisland:
well,
that's
my
understanding
and
I
think
they're
here
and
if
chairman,
if,
if
you
might
want
to
recognize
them
or
go
out
of
session,
of
course,
clearly
up
to
you
but
I'd
rather
them
I'd
rather
twra
answer
that
representative
shaw's
myself
since
I've
not
been
involved
in
the
any
arrests
or
anything
like
and
you
know,
subject.
A
Any
of
that
does
anyone
want
to
go
out
of
session
to
do
that,
or
do
we
not
okay?
I
appreciate
any
other
questions
for
the
sponsor,
seeing
none
we'll
if
without
objection,
we'll
be
voting
on
house
bill,
2457
all
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
your
bill.
Moves
on
to
full
committee,
sir.
A
Brings
us
to
item
number
five
house
bill
2560,
which
has
been
requested
to
be
rolled
one
week,
so
that
bill
is
rolled
one
week.
A
A
A
G
You,
mr
chairman,
and
I
have
an
amendment
drafting
code,
one
four,
zero,
nine
three.
A
G
Do
we
wanna
put
the
amendment
on
and
then
I
can
discuss
it
as
a
whole,
or
does
it
make
the
bill?
It
makes
a
portion
of
the
bill?
I
can
define
a
piece
of
the
amendment
if
you
like,
we.
A
Can
we
can
certainly
do
that
without
objection,
we'll
we'll
vote
on
the
amendment
house
drafting
code,
zero,
one,
four,
zero,
nine
three
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
opposed
the
eye
is
heavy.
Your
amendment
goes
on,
sir.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
you're
recognized
so.
G
Last
year
we
passed
a
c-pace
legislation
and,
and
it
went
into
existence
and
as
it
was
beginning
to
be
worked
through
by
different
municipalities,
we
realized
there
was
an
oversight
and
language
that
contradicted
each
other
and
some
language
needed
to
be
added
to
to
clarify
other
definitions.
G
Over
the
summer
we
worked
with
bankers
to
bring
this
bill
and
address
those
issues.
The
correction
from
last
year
is
stating
the
amount
of
the
assessment
plus
any
existing
indebtedness
on
the
property
does
not
exceed
90
percent
of
the
fair
market
value
and
the
amount
of
the
assessment
does
not
exceed
25
of
the
the
fair
market
value.
The
clarification
of
definition
is
also
what
is
a
commercial
property.
G
This
bill
states
that
a
property
owned
by
a
state
or
local
government
but
leased
to
a
private
entity
such
as
a
housing
authority,
industrial
development
authority
etc,
could
constitute
as
a
commercial
property
for
c-pace.
That
was
a
that
was
a
big
part
of
the
problem.
We
also
clarified
the
fees
in
which
local
governments
could
charge
for
being
program,
administrators
to
ensure
all
costs
are
being
covered.
G
All
parties
have
signed
off
bankers,
local
governments,
property
assessors,
and
the
amendment
that
we
just
put
on
requires
that
any
local
government
be
held
harmless
throughout
the
contractual
process
and
with
that
stand
ready
for
any
questions.
Thank.
H
Don't
know
if
you
can
answer
this,
how
did
this
get
assigned
to
agriculture
sub
seems
to
me
that
it
would
have
been
in
another
committee
more
aptly
fitting
for
this,
and
even
you
might
not
have
an
answer.
I
don't
know
I
just
didn't.
I
couldn't
figure
it
out.
A
I
would
assume
it
because
it
has
something
to
do
with
energy
and
and
saving
energy.
I
believe,
if
I
remember
correctly
from
last
year,
it's
kind
of
under
our
purview
any
other
questions.
Seeing
none
we'll
be
voting
on
house
bill
2033,
as
amended
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
your
bill.
Moves
on
to
full.
Sir.
Thank.
A
I
I
I
H
I
They
have
requires
a
veterinarian,
specifically
licensed
as
a
mobile
vet
to
work
work,
the
event
which
can
also
be
very
expensive
and-
and
you
know,
they're
hard
to
find
too
very
few
and
far
between,
especially
in
rural
and
and
low
population
areas
and
and
they
stay
very
busy
in
their
own
private
practice.
I
I
A
C
Good
morning,
chair
and
committee,
my
name
is
jessica
hyder.
I
work
for
the
humane
society
of
the
united
states
as
the
tennessee
state
director
to
answer
your
question
representative
halsey
we're
talking
about
specifically
this
67
certified
animal
control
agencies
in
the
state
of
tennessee.
So
we're
not
specifically
talking
about
vets
who
are
out
doing
private
practice,
we're
talking
about
the
certified
animal
control
agencies
who
are
wanting
to
provide
services
throughout
the
community
under
the
supervision
of
a
licensed
vet.
C
So
in
early
january
we
reached
out
to
the
tennessee
board
of
veterinary
medical
examiners
to
inquire.
If
we
could
do
this
as
a
rule,
change
they
reached
out
and
said,
unfortunately,
not
this
would
be
to
have
to
be
something
that
was
a
statute
change
in
in
law.
So
when
this
bill
was
crafted,
we
made
sure
to
use
definitions
that
were
already
in
the
vet
code
in
the
tca.
C
So
the
responsible
supervision
of
a
vet
means
the
control
direction
regulation
by
a
licensed
vet
of
the
duties
involving
vet
veterinarian
services
such
as
veterinary
delegation
to
such
veterinarian
personnel.
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
already
used
language
that
was
already
defined
in
code,
so
there
was
no
misconstruing
of
what
that
responsible.
C
H
C
No,
so
this
is
specifically
for
programs
community-based
programs,
whether
that
be
a
clinic.
I
mean
primarily
it's
clinics
for
a
vet
to
be
supervising
that
activity.
So
I
mean
if
your
animal
control
officer
is
a
vet,
then
yes,
you
know
they'd
obviously
be
able
to
do
that,
but
this
is
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
the
vaccines
are
microchipping
was
either
being
done
by
or
under
this
responsible
supervision
of
a
vet.
B
C
H
C
They
are,
you
know,
one
of
those
veterinary
practice,
individuals
who
is
able
to
do
that
in
the
state
already.
H
C
No,
so
it's
you
know
it's
not
changing,
who
can
practice
veterinary
medicine.
This
is
just
allowing
certified
animal
control
agencies
to
provide
these
services
out
in
the
community
right
now.
The
only
way
that
they
can
do
it
is
by
one
having
a
mobile
unit,
which
can
be
very
expensive
to
own
and
operate
having
a
certified
mobile
vet
with
them
or
by
having
a
department
of
health
representative
at
the
cost
to
that
agency.
C
So,
right
now
you
know
there
this
it's,
not
this
isn't
defining
who
can
practice
veterinary
medicine.
It's
streamlining
the
process
for
activities
that
are
already
taking
place.
It's
just
making
this
process
for
certified
animal
control
agencies
to
provide
these
clinics
in
a
more
streamlined
process.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
So
what
about
sanitation-wise
is
this?
If,
if
you
can
do
this
without
a
mobile
unit,
would
this
be
safe
for
animals
that
you
could
just
go
out
and
do
that
out
of
your
pickup
truck
or
your
car,
the
trunk
of
your
car?
Something
like
that!
Can
you
can
you
kind
of
elaborate
on
that?
A
little
bit
miss.
C
C
The
only
like
I
said,
the
only
thing
this
does
is
streamline
the
process
to
be
able
to
provide
those
those
clinics.
F
So
would
I
have
to
be
a
veterinarian
in
the
area
to
know
the
area
to
do
it,
but
what,
if
I
maybe
was
from
some
other
area
of
the
state,
but
I
was
I
was
certified
veterinarian,
but
I
don't
live
there.
So
I
really
don't
know
the
layout
of
the
community
and
the
animals
and
so
forth.
But
I
still
could
do
that
if
I
was
a
certified
veterinarian.
Is
that
that
what
we're
saying
miss.
A
C
So
this
would
be
imperson
participation
with
that
certified
animal
control
agency.
So
if
that
animal
control
agency
reached
out
to
you
to
partner
with
you
and
you
either,
you
know
gave
a
discounted
rate
volunteered
your
time
charged
the
full
rate.
You
know
you
would
be
working
with
that
agency
during
this
program,
so
it
you
know,
you
wouldn't
be
out
kind
of
on
your
own
doing
this
kinds
of
activities,
there's
already
a
process
for
those
mobile
veterinarians
to
operate.
C
You
know
large
animal
vets,
there's
that
process,
but
those
vets
you
know
are
generally
very
busy
with
their
own
private
practice,
and
so
it's
very
hard
to
get
one
of
those
vets
to
to
come
in.
To
do
some
of
these
activities
for
certified
animal
control,
agencies.
C
Yeah,
so
I'm
sorry,
so
the
the
way
that
the
process
right
now
is
for
vets
specifically,
this
would
be
an
exemption
for
the
actual
animal
control
agency
working
with
a
vet
so
that
they
do
not
have
to
go
out
and
find
a
mobile
certified
vet
to
be
able
to
do
these.
These
clinics.
J
C
Definitely
so,
let's
say
you
have
a
certified
animal
control
agency,
let's
just
go
with
shelbyville,
so
shelbyville
has
a
certified
animal
control
agency.
Who
is
interested
in
hosting
a
microchipping
vaccination
clinic
right
now
under
current
state
law
they
would
either
have
to
one
contact
the
department
of
health,
coordinate
and
pay
for
a
person
to
to
just
kind
of
be
at
that
facility
with
them.
When
that
was
happening,
two
they
would
either
have
to
have
a
mobile
vet
unit
to
be
there
or
three.
C
J
Representative
reading
so
so
to
understand
this
is
where
exam
it
exempts
a
certified
animal
control
agency.
So
it's
a
physical
location
for
the
agency
and
we're
connecting
with
a
veterinarian
saying,
come
to
our
location,
we're
having
this
chipping
vaccine
clinic.
If
that's
what
we
want
to
call
it,
but
we're
exempting
that
location,
no
matter
how
it's
operated
or
whatever
trying
to
get
veterinarians
to
show
up
to
perform.
The
task
is
that
correct,
cider.
C
So
animal
control
agencies
and
humane
societies
are
actually
already
exempted
inside
the
code
for
the
pets
that
have
been
surrendered
to
them,
so
their
physical
location
for
pets
that
have
been
surrendered
to
to
them
is
already
exempted
from
a
premises
permit.
What
we're
talking
about
is
if
the
local
community
center
in
that
underserved
community
were
to
host
that
be
the
host
location.
J
C
So
that
is
correct.
However,
the
amount
of
mobile
clinics
available
in
the
state
of
tennessee
number
about
four
and
those
are
operated
by
individual
agencies.
C
E
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
while
we're
out
of
session
right
here
at
your
discretion,
of
course,
I
don't
know
if
she
is
on
your
list
or
not,
but
if
we
could
I'd
like
to
hear
from
megan
frazier
to
give
us
some
insight,
if,
if
that
would
be
possible
at
your
discretion,
sir.
A
B
I'll
make
a
quick
statement,
mr
chairman,
if
you
don't
mind,
my
name
is
megan
frazier
and
I
represent
the
tennessee
veterinary
medical
association
when
it
when
it
comes
to
what
this
bill
is
looking
to
deal
with,
we
feel
as
though
we
can
make
these
requests
work
under
the
the
current
law
without
the
bill's
passage.
Better,
are
happy
to
hear
you
know
and
and
want
more
pets
to
be
vaccinated
and
microchipped,
but
that
we
can
work
within
the
current
bounds
of
the
law.
B
A
Next
is
house
bill
2637,
and
this
is
taken
off
notice
and
this
bill
has
been
calendared
three
times,
so
this
will
move
we're
going
to
move
this
build
on
to
our
special
calendar
to
be
published
with
the
committee's
final
calendar.
A
K
You
members
and
mr
chairman,
appreciate
your
indulgence
what
this
bill
does
is
I
sit
on
tasker
along
with,
and
the
chairman
is
senator
jaeger,
so
we're
both
carrying
this
bill
in
2020
tesla
did
a
study
on
waste
tires.
We
have
a
real
problem
in
our
state
of
people.
Dumping
waste
tires
in
our
in
our
communities
in
our
ravines
on
the
side
of
our
mountains,
and
you
know-
and
it's
really
really
disturbing.
K
You
know
our
the
beauty
of
our
state
and
this
bill
adopts
those
recommendations
in
that
2020
study,
and
let
me
say
this
also:
there
is
an
amendment
on
the
bill
and
mr
chair.
If
I
will,
if
I
can
say
something
before
before,
we
consider
adopting
this
amendment.
I've
worked
hand
in
hand
with
t
deck
on
this
bill
and
our
the
amendment
that
I
have
before
us.
It
adopts
the
the
items
that
we
wanted,
that
that
I
think
myself
and
tdec
agreed
on.
K
However,
tdeck
would
has
another
amendment
that
that
wouldn't
have
been
timely,
fired.
It
wouldn't
have
got
it
to
you
in
time,
but
it's
the
same
language,
with
the
exception
of
removing
individual,
the
public's
cause
of
action.
T
deck
wants
to
have
the
cause
of
action,
which
I
have
no
issue
with
at
all,
and
so
my
amendment
has
gives
the
public
the
ability
to
sue
individuals
who
are
you
know
illegally.
K
Dumping
tires
in
our
community
t-deck's
version
of
the
amendment
that
I
didn't
get
in
time
and
I'll
be
happy
to
let
you
talk
to
t
deck
about
that.
Also
that
I
didn't
get
in
time
would
give
t
deck
that
the
ability
to
sue
people
who
are
dumping
illegally
in
our
communities.
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
that,
and
so
I'm
asking
miss
chair
and
you
know
if
you
would
be
amenable
to
us
in
filing
tdx
version
of
the
amendment
in
place
of
my
version
of
the
amendment.
K
K
K
A
Considering
that,
if
that
is
something
you
have
been
working
on,
and
it
probably
sounds
like
it
might
be
preferred
by
you,
then
we
can
roll
this
a
week
to
our
final
calendar
next
week
and
get
that
done
so
that's
timely
file.
We've
got
the
right,
rafting
and
everything
perfectly.
A
I
Thank
you,
chairman
of
members
house,
bill
2768
does
have
an
amendment
hold
on
we're
we're
on
2411.
all
right.
That's.
A
Been
we're
not
carrying
that
bill?
Okay,
so
that
was
taken
off
notice.
Yes,
okay,
we
didn't
have
that.
No,
we
weren't
notified
about
that
so
house
bill
2411
is
taking
off
notice.
That
brings
us
to
item
number
14
house
bill
2768
by
representative
cheryl.
Do
you
have
a
motion?
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
sir
and
you're
recognized
sorry.
I
About
that,
I
thought
that
it
had
been
brought
to
you
that
it
would
take
off
nobody,
and
we
have
an
amendment
on.
F
The
yes.
I
A
We
have
a
motion
on
the
amendment.
We
have
a
second
on
the
amendment.
You
want
to
go
ahead
and
put
that
amendment
on
with
no
objection
we'll
be
voting
on
the
amendment
drafting
code,
14135
to
house
bill
2768
all
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed.
The
amendment
goes
on
the
bill.
I
You,
sir
and
chairman,
unless
on
the
amendment
here
with
amendment,
requires
tennessee
wildlife
resource
agency
to
comply
with
all
the
proceeds
of
the
department
of
agriculture
division
of
forestry,
which
conducts
sales
of
the
timber
harvested
from
twra's
property.
I
So
in
the
in
the
situation
that
we
are
in
and-
and
this
is
not
only
in
the
area
that
I
represent,
but
across
the
state
of
tennessee,
we've
had
some
issues,
especially
in
the
area
up
in
in
the
43rd
district,
with
firestone
brickstone
area
of
where
twra
is
coming
in
cutting
trees
hardwood
and
they
are
not
under
the
guidelines
of
the
department
of
forestry.
I
H
A
Yes,
thank
you
any
other
questions.
Seeing
none
without
objection
we'll
be
voting
on
house
bill
2768,
as
amended
all
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it,
sir.
Thank.
A
I'm
making
sure
we
don't
have
any
others
non-committees.
So
this,
I
think
we're
in
good
good
position
here
before
us
now
is
house
bill
2516
by
representative
reedy.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
I
do
have
a
do.
We
have
a
motion.
F
A
Okay,
that's
what
we
have
as
well
to
have
a
motion
on
the
amendment.
Second,
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second,
let's
go
ahead
since
it
rewrites
the
bill
and
we'll
put
that
on.
Without
objection,
we'll
be
voting
on
the
amendment
drafting
code,
one
four,
eight,
nine,
zero,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
all
right
opposed
the
eyes
have
it.
The
amendment
goes
on
sir.
J
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
and
committee
members.
As
you
recall,
a
few
weeks
ago,
I
I
presented
the
bill,
took
it
off
notice,
with
discussion
further
with
the
department
of
military
tdec,
the
governor's
staff,
and
this
amendment
reflects
I'll,
read
I'm
actually
reading
off
the
fiscal
memorandum,
because
the
the
question
was:
who
would
have
the
authority
over
this
piece
of
legislation
if
it
passes,
and
it
attaches
this
task
force
to
the
tennessee
emergency
management
agency,
for
administrative,
fiscal
and
personnel
purposes
only
and
it
is
to
operationally
independent
operation
independent
from
the
agency?
E
It
does
two
things:
it
updates
the
tennessee
veterinary
practice
act
to
mirror
the
practice
of
other
health-related
boards
in
tennessee
to
allow
the
current
member
of
the
tennessee
board
of
veterinary
medical
examiners
to
read
to
be
reappointed
to
serve
a
successive
term
and
number
two.
It
updates
the
definition
of
a
veterinary
facility
to
reflect
reflect
current
state
and
of
practice
of
veterinary
medicine,
for
instance,
an
example
would
be
if
they
you
had
national
veterinary
clinic
and
just
down
the
road
you
had
nashville
veterinarian
hospital.
E
A
A
A
Drafting
code,
one
four:
five,
seven,
nine!
Yes,
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
on
the
amendment.
Does
it
make
the
bill?
Yes,
sir?
Okay,
we'll
go
ahead
and
put
that
on.
If
no,
there
are
no
objections.
All
in
favor
of
drafting
code
zero,
one,
four:
five:
seven!
Nine
going
on
house
bill,
two
thousand
five
six!
Please
say:
aye
aye
opposed
eyes.
Have
it.
The
amendment
goes
on
the
bill,
sir
you're
recognized
as
amended.
L
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
and
members.
The
purpose
of
house
bill
2056.
Of
course
it
makes
the
bill,
but
this
is
the
steps
to
to
address
solar
panels.
The
amendment
is
straightforward.
This
amendment
requires
each
large
lease
for
the
installation
of
solar
equipment
to
include
a
decommissioning
plan
with
financial
assurances.
L
The
word
large
means
a
solar
power
facility
capable
of
generating
more
than
10
gigawatts.
That
facility
would
require
about
a
hundred
acres
of
land
for
solar
panels
recognizing
and
hoping
that
house
bill
2761
by
representative
gantt
that
authorizes
a
taser
study
will
eventually
pass.
It
seems
premature
to
try
to
address
all
the
issues
a
large
solar
installation
may
bring.
L
The
amendment
reflects
a
consensus
between
the
farm
bureau
and
the
solar
energy
industry
association.
This
amendment
requires
each
lease
for
the
installation
of
solar
equipment
to
include
a
decommissioning
plan
with
financial
assurances.
The
plan
may
not
be
waived
by
agreement.
This
amendment
does
make
this
state
a
statewide
standard.
An
individual
or
local
government
harmed
may
seek
a
declaratory
judgment.
The
effective
date
is
june
june,
1
2022
and
the
bill
will
apply
to
agreements
entered
into
after
that
date.
L
F
F
How
does
this
legislation
fit
in
maybe
in
terms
of
what
has
already
happened
in
the
past
and
what
are
they
doing
with
these
solar
panels
that
I
don't
know
if
they've
worn
out
or
whatever
they've
had
their
timing
to
replace?
Is
that
some
place
to
put
them?
Can
you
can
you
speak
to
that?
Mr.
A
L
Representative
shaw,
I
I
can't
speak
to
any
agreements
that
were
made
and
that
may
be
moving
forward.
I
do
know
that
in
here
it
states
that
you
know
if
an
older
lease
is
amended.
Both
parties
may
agree
to
use
this
legislation
moving
forward,
but
I
also
think
you
know
moving
forward
and
can't
really
speak
much
to
what's
been
agreed
to
and
what's
up
now
I
think
that's
what's
brought
up.
L
A
Any
other
questions
for
the
sponsor.
I
do
want
to
clarify
that
the
amendment
says
that
this
will
go
into
effect
upon
becoming
a
law.
So,
yes,
just
one
clarification
there
and
I
did
have.
I
guess
I
had
one
question:
is
this
kind
of
establishing
a
minimum
standard
for
these
agreements
where
they
could
have
other
language
and
and
details
put
in
contracts
between
landowners
and
companies?
Yes,.
L
A
A
L
L
You're
recognized
thank
you,
mr
chair
house.
Bill
1690
addresses
the
delta
eight
product
that
we're
seeing
on
the
market
now
we're
making
an
attempt
to
take
some
steps
toward
regulation
of
delta
8,
which
is
a
derived
from
hemp.
It
prevents
the
purchase
of
these
products
to
anyone
under
21.
L
It
requires
a
license
to
wholesale
or
retail
these
products,
which
is
200
annually,
and
with
that
mr
chair,
I
believe
we
have
groups
on
all
kinds
of
groups
to
speak
on
this.
If
we're
okay,
to
have
them,
make
their
presentations.
A
Thank
you,
sir.
Without
objection,
we
do
have
several
on
the
list
or
a
few
on
the
list
that
want
to
speak
today.
So
we
representative
hurt.
L
I
apologize.
We
are
mr
chair
working
with
revenue
and
ag.
We
have
a
the
language
for
an
amendment
but
we're
working
with
them
to
to
get
ag
and
revenue
happy
with
with
what
we're
trying
to
do
here.
So
I
think
it's
been
discussed
with
you,
but
we
are.
We
don't
have
an
amendment
ready,
but
we
do
have
language
and
in
discussions
trying
to
work
through
that
with
those.
A
Without
objection,
we
will
go
out
of
session
to
hear
from
some
of
these
folks.
I
believe
that
was
your
what
you
desired,
sir.
A
Yes,
sir
okay,
we
will
go
out
to
session
without
objection.
First,
on
the
list
I
have
joe
kirkpatrick,
that's
requested
to
speak.
You'll
turn
the
microphone
on
identify
yourself,
and
you
will
have
three
nests.
M
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
joe
kirkpatrick
tennessee
growers
coalition.
We've
had
the
pleasure
of
speaking
to
each
of
you
at
least
twice
about
this
bill.
So
what
I'm
really
focused
on
today?
M
Again,
as
the
sponsor
pointed
out,
we
do
we're
seeking
an
amendment
that
will
make
the
bill
if
we
make
it
to
full
committee
that
cleans
up
and
removes
some
redundancies
and
also
would
move
cbn
to
the
taxable
list,
because
cbn
has
some
anecdotally
has
some
sleep
inducing
qualities
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
covered
and
that
we
can
handle
serving
size
in
rule
making
again
assuming
we
get
that
far
and
and
what
I
do
also
want
to
say,
is
I
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
a
week
ago,
friday
to
the
medical,
cannabis,
commission
and
and,
as
you
so
aptly
pointed
out,
chairman
todd
the
there's,
not
any
cannabinoid
needed
for
a
medical
program
in
tennessee
that
can't
already
be
derived
from
hemp,
and
so
you
know,
I
asked
also
asked
sheriff
paul
thomas
who's,
a
member
from
gibson
county.
M
I
don't
know
which
one
of
y'all
has
gibson
county
chairman
halford,
and
I
asked
him
because
what
I'm
really
here
to
do
is
sort
of
challenge
the
fiscal
note
and
no
no
offense
to
fiscal
review,
because
we
don't
have
any
data
and
that's
one
thing
that
this
bill
will
solve
is
it
will
provide
us
data
to
accurately
analyze
this,
but
I
asked
sheriff
thomas
how
many
places
he
thought
was:
selling
dia
were
selling
d8
in
gibson
county
and
I
said
what
a
hundred-
and
he
goes
no
probably
more
like
50..
M
So
I
said
well,
what's
the
population
of
gibson
county,
it's
50
000.,
so
roughly
one
store
per
thousand
people
and
if
you
extrapolated
that
to
6.9
million
tennesseans
there'd
be
about
six
thousand
nine
hundred
retailers,
fiscal
review
said
there
were,
would
be
150
licensees
under
this
and,
of
course,
kelly-
and
I
got
a
big
laugh
out
of
that
kelly
hess
our
executive
director
and
I
was
like
we
both
lit.
She
lives
in
hendersonville
and
I
live
in
goodlettsville
and
within
a
hunt
within
10
square
miles
of
our
houses.
There's
probably
150
stores
selling
it.
M
So
we
just
we
we've.
Actually
taken
a
much
lower
number
4
000
stores,
2
000
a
month
in
sales,
would
generate
96
million
in
annual
sales
sales
tax
that
we
estimates
already
being
captured
by
this
is
8.8
million
dollars.
We
would
add,
then
we
would
talk
about
the
permits
4
000
permits.
We
would
be
recommending
rules
that
a
tier
5
food
safety
license
would
be
the
minimum
one
for
this
to
be
able
to
carry
these
products
and
that's
200,
each
that's
thousand
dollars.
M
If
wholesale
is
fifty
percent
of
retail,
that's
48
million
on
the
privilege
tax
of
six
point,
six
percent
yielding
three
million
one
hundred
and
sixty
eight
thousand
a
year
roughly
off
of,
and
I
am
taking
fiscal
reviews
cost
of
implementation,
which
was
informed
by
the
department
of
agriculture
to
be
about
1.6
million
dollars
a
year
to
run
this
program.
M
So
if
we
added
the
cost
of
the
licenses
added,
I
mean
the
the
cost
of
implementation
and
took
that
from
the
revenue
generated
by
the
licenses
and
the
tax
we'd
be
at
2.3
million
positive
revenue
which
could
be
used
obviously
to
fund
the
the
grain
and
fiber
initiatives.
We've
talked
about
so
much
and
we
spoke
to
the
full
committee
about
last
week
and
you
know
with
increased
consumer
confidence
and
safety
and
hemp
products.
M
We
would
we
would
expect
sales
to
double,
so
that
would
actually
create
a
positive
fiscal
note
of
5.5
million
dollars
that
would
be
payable
to
the
department
of
agriculture,
and
that
would
also
add
to
the
general
fund,
another
8.8
million
dollars
for
a
net
for
a
net
gain
of
14.3
million
dollars.
I'm
that's
all
I've
really
got
at
this
point.
I
think
some
of
the
other
folks
are
going
to
talk
more
about
specifics,
benefits,
drawbacks
whatever
and
I'm
glad
to
answer
any
questions
that
the
committee
has.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,.
H
M
It's,
mr
chairman.
Yes,
it's
earmarked
for
the
department
of
agriculture
to
administrate
the
hemp
program,
so
that
would
largely
be
up
to
the
commissioner.
I
guess
and
staff
there
to
make
recommendations
to
the
general
assembly
and
finance
about
how
to
spend
that
money.
But
yes,
generally,
it
does
cover
that.
Yes,
sir
representative,.
N
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
so
again
just
from
someone
who
is
not
incredibly
familiar
with
with
the
different
variants
of
of
hemp
and
cannabinoids
and
so
delta,
eight
nine
and
ten.
Can
you
get
high
using
those
representatives?
Mr.
M
Chairman,
yes,
sir,
you
can
and
that's
why
we
are
so
strongly
calling
for
this
to
be
limited
to
those
that
are
21
and
older
and
to
allow
the
department
to
to
regulate
serving
size,
because
there's
an
a
there's,
a
peer-reviewed
study
from
new
zealand
that
we
could
provide
for
y'all
before
next
week.
That
shows
that
delta
eight
is
roughly
between
one
quarter
and
one-third,
as
psychoactive
is
delta.
Nine.
The
active
ingredient
in
marijuana,
but
so
it's
significantly
weaker.
N
A
Okay,
any
other
questions
I
I
have
one
and
it's
concerning
the
the
limits,
the
the
legal
limits
for
hemp
products
of
any
kind
of
psychoactive
ingredients.
M
Mr
chairman,
under
state
and
federal
law
it
only
applies
to
delta,
9
thc,
and
you
know
what
I
what
I
would
say
to
that
is.
Is
there
we
do
there's
another
thing
that
we
do
want
to
handle
in
rules
and
there's
what
we
would
call
lab
shopping
of
dea
labs
nationally
to
to
sort
of
you
know.
How
do
I
say
this
delicately
game?
M
The
result
we
would
be
asking
you
rules
that
not
only
did
a
dea
lab
certification
be
required,
but
the
tennessee
department
of
agriculture
certified
lab,
would
also
be
used,
and
then
that
way,
our
testing
protocols
could
be
in
line
with
the
mass
spectrometer
that
the
department
owns
and
that
tbi
owns.
A
M
Presently,
no,
yes,
sir!
That's
why
we
want
these
rules
so
bad.
You
know
this.
This
will
allow
us
to
promulgate
rules
to
sort
of
control
that
serving
size.
A
M
That's
that's
to
the
best
of
my
understanding,
mr
chairman.
Yes,
that's
correct!
So,
for
instance,
if
you
know,
if
you
had
a
package
of
these
delta,
eight
gummies,
for
instance-
and
there
were
20
in
there-
the
department
could
say:
well,
you
know
a
serving
size.
M
A
reasonable
serving
size
would
be,
and
and
anecdotally
I
could
say
anywhere
from
five
10
milligrams,
maybe
even
20
25
milligrams
on
the
high
end,
but
that
would
not
prevent
a
person
just
like
it
wouldn't
prevent
a
person
from
taking
four
shots
of
jack
daniels
or
five
shots
of
jack
daniels
that
purchases
that
product
this
would
be
no
different,
but
it
would
at
least
set
some
sort
of
reasonable
framework
of
what's
responsible.
A
O
Elizabeth
stroker
legislative
director
for
the
department
of
safety
wanted
to
follow
up
on
some
comments
that
were
just
made
and
express
the
department's
biggest
concern
with
the
bill.
While
we
do
appreciate
putting
some
type
of
regulation
around
this
delta,
8
and
10,
which
currently
is
not
regulated
at
all,
our
biggest
problem
is
that,
while
there
there
may
be
the
ability
to
to
cap
quantity
which
I'm
I
didn't
see
that
so
that
may
be
something
coming
in
an
amendment,
but
there's
nothing
in
there
capping
the
amount
of
thc
content
and
that's
our
biggest
concern.
O
We
spoke
with
the
sponsor
and
and
if
we
could
get
some
type
of
cap
similar
to
what
you
have
to
have
with
delta
nine
or
any
other
product
that
is
legalized
for
use
that
is
considered
either
medical,
cannabis
or
or
hemp.
It
has
a
thc
cap
in
it
for
obvious
reasons
of.
Even
if
you
have
a
quantity
limit
of
okay,
only
you
can
25
milligrams
what,
if
that,
has
a
100
thc
content.
O
That
is
something
they
may
not
know,
and
that
is
going
to
be
very
dangerous
if
it's
something
that
they're
not
aware
of,
and
so
we're
coming
from,
we
understand
that.
There's
a
need
to
regulate
this
and
all
we're
asking.
Is
that,
like
any
other
product
that
is
authorized
under
this
body
to
be
used
by
the
general
public
that
it
have
a
thc
cap
in
it?
A
Any
it
for
our
guests,
I
just
have
one.
I
guess:
does
that
what
your
statement
about
the
delta,
eight
and
and
ten
does
that
have
anything
to
do
with
when
you're
talking
about
total
thc.
O
Yes,
sir,
so
delta
9
specifically,
is
obviously
within
our
code,
which
is
why
the
8
and
10
is
currently
unregulated,
because
we're
so
restricted
to
delta
9
in
our
code,
and
so
the
the
cap
is,
you
can
only
have
for
hemp
purposes,
0.3
of
thc
content
within
that
delta,
9
product
and
this
bill
doesn't
have
any
cap
on
the
8
and
the
10
like
the
9
has,
and
so
we
would
respectfully
ask
that
that
also
be
considered
to
make
sure
that
people
do
not
have
a
substance
that
is
going
to
impair
them
very
significantly
without
them
even
being
aware
of
it.
O
A
O
Hemp
per
the
federal
law
has
to
be
.3
or
less.
O
It's
sorry
delta,
nine.
Yes,
so
we're
not
talking
eight
or
ten,
because
those
two
are
not
scheduled
yet
by
the
feds.
Okay,.
A
A
O
P
There's
a
lot
of
confusion
about
delta,
eight
right
now,
confusion
that
leads
to
fear
because
it's
unregulated,
we
do
not
need
to
live
in
fear
and
we've
been
here
before.
This
is
an
ag
issue.
We
regulate
eggs,
we
regulate
milk,
we
regulate
gasoline
at
the
pump
and
we
also
regulate
things
like
firearms,
alcohol
and
tobacco,
but
we
don't
tell
our
farmers
that
they
can't
grow
tobacco
just
because
a
kid
may
get
a
pack
of
cigarettes.
P
P
We
don't
take
away
people's
guns
because
guns
might
be
harmful.
We
make
sure
they're
licensed
so
that
people
that
need
want
deserve
to
have
guns
can
and
those
who
don't
won't
and
that's
how
it
is
for
him
there's
so
many
benefits
for
what
the
hemp
plant
can
be
from
our
growers.
You
all
pass
fantastic
laws
in
2017.
we're
only
just
beginning:
we've
been
at
it
just
five
years,
but
we
have
as
many
licensed
growers
as
anywhere
in
the
country,
and
our
products
are
just
as
great.
P
Our
manufacturers
and
retailers
make
first
in
class
products
that
are
safe
and
healthy
and
people
enjoy
them.
But
here's
an
angle
people
don't
talk
about
is
what
I
see.
We
use
delta
eight
to
get
people
off
of
opioids.
We
manufacture
products
that
we
support,
12-step
clinics
and
halfway
houses
in
shelby
county
we're
researching
this.
We've
asked
shelby
county
for
funding
from
the
opioid
settlement.
We've
asked
governor
lee
to
study
how
cannabinoids
are
non-lethal
non-addictive
ways
to
get
people
away
from
the
cravings
of
opioids
from
that
grasp.
A
A
J
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
this
is
to
chairman,
hurt:
are
you
wanting
us
to
roll
this
a
week
and
get
that
amendment
in
front
of
us?
What's
your
intent,
sir
representative,.
L
Hurt
thank
you
for
that,
mr
chairman.
Thank
you.
My
intent
is
to
get
it
moving
and
and
continue
to
work
and
amend
it
and
add
the
amendments
in
in
full,
but
we've
kind
of
been
working
this
thing
and
looking
through
it
and
I
think
we're
in
a
position
where
that
again
working
it's
taken
a
while,
because
there's
been
so
many
concerns
that
we
want
to
try
to
address
that
we're
just
now
getting
the
language
and
my
intent
was
to
move
it
forward.
H
H
Is
it
what's
the
maximum
on
a
normal
hemp
plant
of
delta,
eight
that
you
can
have
in
that
plant
and,
let's
take
the
gummy
bear
deal.
I
can
understand
if
you
have
point
three
percent
in
each
gummy
bear
and
you
ate
a
hundred
of
them.
Yeah
you're,
probably
gonna,
feel
that
I'd
say,
but
that's
because
it's
already
processed
to
do
that,
but
is
it?
Is
a
normal
hemp
plant?
What's
the
maximum
of
delta
eight
that
it
can
produce,
and
the
issue
is
the
growing
and
transportation
of
that
in
that
process?
L
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
representative
halsey.
The
way
I
understand
it
is
delta.
Eight
is,
is
prevalent
in
in
a
hemp
plant,
but
because
it's
not
tested
it's
and
again,
I'm
trying
to
make
sure
I
state
this
correctly.
There
is
no
maximum,
because
the
what
is
measured
is
delta,
nine
in
the
plant
through
the
department
of
ag
to
keep
it
within
our
laws,
but
as
far
as
the
delta
eight.
L
As
far
as
I'm
aware,
there's
there's
no
testing
that
tries
to
measure
how
much
is
in
each
plant
and
that
could
vary
depending
on
the
the
the
variety
of
the
plant.
Also,
I
would
think
again,
I'm
maybe
better
to
to
refer
that
question
to
somebody
that
knows
a
little
more
about
the
plants
as
they
grow.
F
N
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
I
was
just
going
to
express
just
and
the
sponsor
can
comment
if,
if
he
thinks
maybe
I
might
be
maybe
kind
of
off
on
my
understanding.
N
Is
you
know,
are
we
legitimizing
something
that
basically,
where
you
can
go,
buy
something
in
a
convenience
store
that
does
have
this
kind
of
psychedelic
type
effect
where
you
can
get
this
fairly
fairly
strong
high
off
of
this,
and
so
and
like-
and
I
understand
the
speaker
spoke
about-
you
know
it's
use
its
medical
use
for
you
know
for
addiction
to
opioids.
I
think
those
are
probably
all
valid
points
and
things
that
that
we
should
look
at
and
I'm
I'm
open
to
that.
N
But
again
my
concern
is
you
know
when,
when
they're
going
in
to
buy
from
a
gas
station,
it's
probably
they're,
probably
not
buying
it.
For
that
reason
to
help
with
an
opioid
addiction,
the
gas
station
attendant
isn't
a
medical
professional.
So
that's
my
concern
and
again
I
I
get
now
it's
really
unregulated
at
all.
So
this
this
puts
some
step
in
there
and
I
appreciate
that.
But
my
concern
more
is
legitimizing,
something
to
say
that
it's
okay
to
go
buy
this
at
a
gas
station.
N
It's
just
as
long
as
you're,
21
and
up
you
can
go,
buy
it
there,
and
so
that
that
that's,
why
I'm
a
little
bit
uneasy?
I
also
wanted
to
just
add.
I
do
understand
the
the
need
at
some
point
we
need
to
for
farmers
who
are
transporting
it
like
there
doesn't
need
to
be
that
doesn't
need
to
be
against
the
law
for
you
to
get
that
from
your
farm
to
wherever
it's
processed
like
that.
That
needs
to
be
addressed.
L
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
and
thank
you
for
that
representative.
As
far
as
the
transport
we
we
do
have
a
bill
to
try
to
address
that.
I
know
the
department
of
ag
currently
has
permits
to
transport
when
it
leaves
the
field
to
go
to
wherever
it
will
be
stored
or
hung
until
it's
taken
to
the
next
step.
L
But
we
do
currently
have
legislation
to
try
to
address
those
situations
and,
and
the
administration
and
the
department
of
safety
have
been
more
than
willing
to
work
with
us
on
that
one,
to
try
to
get
some
kind
of
permits
to
to
address
that.
So
we
are
working
on
that
as
far
as
legitimizing
what
you
were
asking,
I
I
see
it
as
a
product.
That's
out
there.
I
see
that
it's
a
product
that
you
know
sure
just
like
any
product
that
was
that
was
mentioned
earlier.
L
People
are
gonna
purchase
for
various
intentions
with
this
legislation
it
would,
it
would
require
you
had
to
be
at
least
21
to
to
make
your
choice
of
why
you
purchased
that
product.
But,
on
the
other
hand-
and
I
appreciate
the
speakers
today-
because
there
is
a
benefit
that
people
are
seeing
to
this
product
they're-
you
know
taking
certain
amounts
to
they're
responsible
with
it
and
they're,
taking
certain
amounts
to
sleep
or
for
for
different
reasons.
L
So
I
just
see
this
as
an
opportunity
to
put
some
regulations
create
some
positive
fiscal,
a
positive
fiscal
note
in
order
to
start
building
an
infrastructure
around
an
industry
that
that
is
new
and
I
think
the
industry's
ready
for
it.
But
also
you
know
to
to
promote
those
studies,
if
possible,
to
start
doing
some
things
to
where
we
can
educate
the
public
and
benefit
from
a
product
that
is
already
federally
legal.
And
that
that's
my
intention.
So
you
know
it.
Could
it
be
used
for
something?
A
N
C
A
Any
other
business
excuse
me
roll
one
week,
any
other
business
worth
committee
representative.
President
reading,
you
recognize.
A
H
A
My
understanding
is
that
will
be
calendared
next
week
on
next
week's
subcommittee
calendar
so
that
the
motion
does
carry
how
the
if
I
haven't
already
done
that
excuse
me
house,
bill
2775
reconsid
to
be
reconsidered.
