A

Good morning everybody we're all in our places with bright shiny faces. It is time for commerce. uh Let's see, I am your chairman kevin vaughn and I'm going to be hosting our affair this morning. Mr clark, would you call our role, see who's joining us.

A

Here here down here here,.

A

Here all righty, thank you. Do we have wait. I know that uh chairman moon's got a personal order. Somebody he'd like to recognize.

B

Thank you, mr chairman, with us today are two of our finest county commissioners from blount county, mr steve michaels and nick bright faith. Please stand sir.

B

Thank you, mr chairman,.

A

Yes, sir, anybody else with personal orders by the way, gentlemen, welcome all right, seeing none. I look at our calendar today and our initial, oh chairman, board, you running number one.

C

Yes, mr chairman,.

A

All righty: well, let's: let's talk about house bill 2187.

C

Thank you, mr chairman committee. Hospital 2187 uh is a piece of legislation that comes from the bureau of workers comp. It makes a few changes to give you a little background in 2013, there was a lot of reform in the workers comp area, and we created uh some some workers, comp courts and with uh 12 trial judges and three appeals board judges, and most of them were set up where they would uh were eligible for up to three six-year terms as a maximum.

C

But there were a few uh like the appeals board judges and the chief judge. That could only do a two six-year term, and so the bureau thinks it's probably good to have consistency there. So we're just changing that so that any judge that uh serves on the workers comp uh court, uh they are eligible for up to three six-year terms. Mr chairman I'll take any questions.

A

All righty, we do like consistency in the things that we try to cover here, seeing no questions of the bill's sponsor we're going to call the question all those in favor of moving house bill, 2187 on to calendar and rules. Please signify by saying aye hearing no any opposed hearing, none we're off to calendar and rules with 2187.

A

representative hodges did you have. I saw you. I was a little bit late on the draw. Sometimes when I wear my cheaters, I have a difficult time seeing beyond my normal place here so.

D

Thank you, mr chairman, and just me and speaker johnson just wanted to welcome jeff bryan, our highway supervisor for montgomery county and joe smith, one of our county commissioners.

A

All righty welcome to you, gentlemen, and we're gonna get right back to today's menu sp of the afore mentioned speaker johnson. I believe you're to talk to us about house bill 2126. Thank.

E

You, mr speaker or uh mr chairman, sorry, mr chairman house, bill 2126, would allow uh non-profit electric co-ops to have their meetings via modern technology. As you all know, last year we passed a bill allowing for-profit companies to do this, so this would just allow the non-profit electric co-ops to it.

A

Alrighty, let's get you in the proper posture. Was there now we're good to go? Do we have any uh questions for the speaker?

A

Oh, I have a question called any the all those in favor of house bill, 2126 it moving on to caller and rules. Please signify by saying aye any opposed hearing, none speaker, you're off to calendar and rules with 2126, and we have today is just one of those days that we don't see. Very often, it is only going to be us presenting bills to ourselves.

A

How about that? Is that something? I just noticed that continuing with the theme chairman hazelwood house, bill, 2047.

F

Thank you, mr chairman, and truly continuing with the same theme as speaker. Johnson. This bill would simply allow not-for-profits the same latitude um and for to have remote meetings. The same restrictions and rules that we put in place last session for for-profit corporations would apply to not-for-profits.

A

Outstanding outstanding any questions for chairman hazelwood, seeing none we're going to call for a vote on house bill uh house bill 2047, all those in favor signify by saying aye aye any opposed hearing none 2047 is on the calendar and rules. uh Representative jernigan approached me about house bill. 1698 requested it be rolled one week which it's a petty. It's it's a it's a pity because we were gonna have a blast with that. One.

A

Thank you tip your waiters and waitresses roll. The week representative, alexander 1958.,.

G

Thank you chairman. Thank you committee, um interesting enough. They uh numbered this bill 1958. Somebody must have looked at my age on my birth certificate, but anyway, that's the year I was born.

G

This bill is brought to us by tennessee, realtors uh and, basically, um what it does it seeks to remove the requirement from uh synchronous, education courses for real estate license to be certified by arilla when the tennessee real estate commission can certify it themselves.

A

All righty, so this should make it easier for me to get my continuing education hours. Hopefully it should outstanding. I like that anybody else have any questions for the bill sponsor. Seeing none we're gonna ask for a vote on house bill 1958, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye any opposed hearing. None 1958 is off to calendar and rules. Thank you chairman. Thank you. I believe we're going to roll 2103 one week, representative alexander, is that that is correct. All righty one up.

A

We are going to roll 2103, we'll be calendared next week, just a minor little bit of wordsmithing to be done on it, and we will be right back here next week same time, same place, same channel and ending up today's tour de force by our own membership is going to be chairman. Boyd with house bill. 2304.

C

Mr chairman, actually I'd like to roll this one week at the last minute, the department of financial institutions had some language they wanted to offer up as an amendment, so I'm going to roll that a week to to give them a chance to provide that. Mr chairman.

A

I think that's if that's what they want, then I think you've done a good thing for them by rolling it rolled one week. Anybody else got anything. I I feel like we've gathered here today, we've handled the people's business in a judicious manner.

A

We are moving for german we're gonna adjourn.
