Description
House Criminal Justice Sub Committee - February 10, 2021 - House Hearing Room 2
E
F
Recognized
hey,
mr
chairman,
just
to
start
this
off
on
the
right
note.
We're
all
pleased
to
be
serving
under
your
leadership
here,
and
I
believe
that
the
good
representative
from
knox
county
it
is.
It
may
have
already
been
out
of
order
in
your
committee
by
speaking
out
of
turn
and
not
on
microphone
or
on
the
committee.
I
think
that
might
be
in
the
rules
you're
going
to
cover.
So,
mr
chairman,
you
deal
with
that.
Whatever
way,
you
feel
is
most
appropriate,
but
we
support
you,
sir.
E
A
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
It
is
very
tight
and
confined
up
here.
I
do
not
have
I've
practiced
this
for
three
weeks
now
and
I
don't
have
the
room,
but
at
any
rate
we'll
continue
on
today
is
just
a
organizational
meeting.
Next
week,
members
will
have
a
calendar
with
18
pieces
of
legislation
on
it.
That'll
come
for
this
committee,
we're
going
to
be
very
busy
this
year.
A
We've
we've
got
quite
a
heavy
workload
that
we're
going
to
have.
So
I
appreciate
your
indulgence
and
time,
especially
with
this
committee
meeting
at
5
p.m.
On
wednesdays,
we'll
go
over
our
policies
and
procedures
that
we'll
have
you
know
there
may
be
some
of
those
that
are
watching
from
home
or
watching
from
elsewhere
electronically.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
aware
of
this,
so
that
when
we
start
next
week,
we'll
be
ready
to
go
full
speed
ahead.
A
Like
I
said,
the
committee
will
meet
at
5
pm
on
wednesdays
and
we
will
be
meeting
on
time
for
members
who
will
not
be
present
for
this
committee
meeting
or
we'll
be
late.
We
respectfully
ask
that
you'll
notify
my
office
in
advance
to
maintain
a
quorum.
We'll
have
six
members
must
be
present
and,
if
you're
required
to
leave
the
committee
before
we
adjourn,
please
let
us
know
or
the
staff
know,
in
advance
bills
that
will
be
heard
on
in
this
committee
should
be
placed
on
notice
in
the
member

by
3
pm
on
wednesday.
A

proposed
amendment

you'll

outlook

the
member
and

A
A
This
move
will
not
count
towards
that
three
calendar
limit.

sponsor
who
wishes
to

their
bill
off

hearing

the
subcommittee,

automatically

the
next
available

calendar
unless
that
committee
receives
a
written
request
from
the
sponsor
to
set
another
hearing
date
when
there
are
several
members
on
the
list
to
speak
on
an
issue,
the
chairman
may
impose
a
time
limit.
A
Testimony
which
is
this
is
important.

A
C
C
A
You
very
much
any
other
questions
or
comments
regarding
the
policies
that
we
set
forth
in
here
today,
all
right,
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
order
that
we
have
introductions-
and
I
kind
of
skipped
over
that
one
earlier
but
we'll
go
through
we
we
do
have
some
members.
I
believe
that
may
be
their
first
time
serving
in
the
criminal
justice
arena,
so
we'll
start
down
with
the
representative
griffey
if
he
would
and
and
work
his
way.
This
way
just
give
us
an
introduction.

criminal

so
this
is
going
to
be
an
interesting
excursion
for
me
just
to
quell
it
tell
a
quick
story.
My
when
I
first
passed
the
bar
a
a
child
that
I
had
taught
in
sunday,
school
got
into
trouble
and
his
grandmother
who
was
raising
him
called
me
to
come.
I
The
railroad
where
police
were
on
the
way
to
pick
him
up
and
he
was
a
good
kid,
a
little
mischievous,
and
so
I
get
there
and
he
had
the
lock
from
the
switching
station
in
his
hand.
He
was
obviously
had
done
it
and
his,
and
so
the
the
railroad
police
get
there
and
they
they
want
to
take
him
down
to
juvian.
So
I
tell
the
grandmother
that
I
think
it's
a
good
idea
to
take
the
child
juvie
kind
of
scare
him
straight
a
little
bit
and
she
looked
at
me
and
she
goes.
