House Finance, Ways & Means Subcommittee (B) House Hearing Room 3
B
A
You
very
much
I
would
like
to
call
the
finance
ways
and
means
subcommittee
to
order
for
april
19,
2022
members,
any
announcements
or
personal
orders,
seeing
none
a
couple
announcements
before
we
do
get
started.
The
legislative
amendment
to
the
budget
will
be
on
the
general
assembly
website
and
also
on
dashboard.
So
all
those
that
made
that
mad
dash,
don't
worry.
If
you
didn't
get
one,
you
can
jump
online
and
see
those
also
the
calendar.
The
appropriations
calendar
will
be
up
tomorrow
in
the
morning
at
9
00
a.m,
in
full,
full
finance.
A
So
again
it
will
be
and
I'll
make
this
announcement
again
once
we
get
to
calendar
two,
but
appropriations
counter
will
be
taken
up
tomorrow
morning
at
9
a.m,
as
well
as
calendar
2..
All
right
with
that
said,
members
we're
going
to
begin
with
the
appropriations
calendar.
It's
going
to
be
item
number
one.
It's
going
to
be
house
bill,
2882
by
chair,
lady
hazelwood.
C
A
All
right,
let's
go
ahead
and
get
these
amendments
taken
care
of
and
out
of
the
way
again
there's
six
amendments
that
were
filed
on
to
this
bill.
First,
we're
going
to
go
with
amendment
drafting
code.
This
is
by
chairlady
hazelwood017648.
Do
we
have
a
motion?
Second,
we
got
a
motion.
Second
you're
recognized
on
the
amendment.
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much
for
this
discrete
description.
Any
discussion,
seeing
none
we're
now
voting
on
amendment
017648
on
to
house
bill
2882,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
all
those
posts
know
the
eyes.
Have
it
we're
back
on
the
bill
as
amended,
which
brings
us
to
amendment
number
two
amendment
number
two.
A
C
A
A
A
A
A
A
All
right,
that's
going
to
move
us
to
amendment
number.
Four!
It's
going
to
be
filed
by
representative
ogles,
that's
going
to
be
drafting
code
representative
ogles!
Where
are
you
over
there?
You
are
okay.
I
see
you
representative,
vogel's
drafting
code
that
I
have
is
one
seven.
Seven,
four
five
is
that
correct.
D
Thank
you,
chairman
members
of
committee,
as
you
all
know,
april
is
sexual
assault
awareness
month.
This
amendment
would
fund
house
bill
1640,
which
would
remove
probation
from
a
class
b
felony
of
rape.
If
the
person
is
convicted
of
that
felony
and
as
you
most
of
you
know,
from
the
social
media
post,
one
in
five
women
are
raped
sometime
in
their
lifetime.
One
in
three
from
an
intimate
partner,
67.5
percent
of
rapes
are
unreported
and
5.
Only
5
percent
of
the
rapes
in
college
are
reported.
D
A
E
E
The
the
challenge
that
I
have-
and
I
think
my
colleagues
have
as
it
relates
to
this
is
this-
is
funding
a
change
in
tca
as
it
relates
to
the
subject
matter.
You
said
previously
with
one
time
money
instead
of
reoccurring
money.
So
if
we
funded
this,
we
would
have
local
law
enforcement.
Judges
who
say
did
you
was
this
crime
committed
during
this
period
of
time,
and
so
for
that
reason,
as
much
as
I
appreciate
the
member
and
his
passion
about
this
topic,
mr
chairman,
I
move.
C
A
D
Thank
you,
chairman.
The
reason
the
let
piece
of
legislation
was
drafted
the
way
it
was
when
it
was
first
introduced
the
way,
we're
doing
fiscal
notes
for
crimes,
criminal
justice.
You
took
the
highest
of
10
years,
which
is
actually
bonding
future
general
assemblies
to
incur
costs
that
we
have
not
done
as
long
as
I've
been
in
the
general
assembly.
So
this
this
piece
of
legislation
slip
simply
stripped
it
down
to
one
year.
We
would
fund
it
for
one
year.
D
If
this
is
not
something
the
general
assembly
would
like
to
do
next
year,
you
can
not
extend
it,
you
could
let
it
sunset
and
not
do
it,
but
it
does
not.
Can
it
does
not,
can
cause
any
confusion
for
sentencing.
It
does
not
cause
any
confusion
for
the
judiciary,
it's
simply
written
in
a
way
that
it
affects
one
year
and
we're
funding
it
for
one
year.
So
I
brought
the
fiscal
note
down
to
fifty
six
thousand
dollars.
I
asked
for
that
to
be
funded.
I
asked
for
passage
on
this
piece
of
legislation.

A
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
mr
chairman
and
members.
What
this
amendment
would
do
is
take
1.3
billion
dollars
and
appropriate
it
directly
to
the
department
of
education
to
where
the
state
of
tennessee
would
be
number
one
in
terms
of
his
per-pupil
funding
for
education,
the
money
is
available,
notwithstanding
what
we're
talking
about
with
the
other
legislation.
That's
moving
right
now.
G
A
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Mr
chairman,
we
could
do
both.
Actually,
we
can
spend
the
money
on
tisa
like
plan,
we
voted
for
it
earlier.
We
could
take
350
that
we
appropriated
or
plan
to
appropriate
to
go
into
tcrs
and
move
it
over
to
fund
it.
We
could
take
the
751
time
that
the
governor
has
already
laid
out
and
move
it
over
and
we
could
even
find
some
funding
in
other
places.
Mr
chairman,
so
I
believe
we
have
the
opportunity
and
ability
to
do
both.
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
Members
you've
heard
the
motion
to
table
at
this
time.
We
will
be
voting
for
the
tabling
motion.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye,
all
those
opposed,
no,
the
eyes
have
it
motion
is
tabled.
That
brings
us
to
item
number.
Six
item.
Number
six
is
going
to
be
amendment
zero,
one,
seven,
seven,
four,
six
again
by
representative
camper:
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
move
to
withdraw.
I'm
gonna
withdraw
that
one
all
right.
You
heard
the
request
withdrawal,
any
objection
to
the
withdrawal,
seeing
none
amendment
is
withdrawal.
C
C
The
initial
budget
for
2122
was
42.6
billion
dollars
that
was
increased
after
the
recognition
of
over
8
billion
dollars
in
federal,
coveted
relief
funding,
which
was
realized
after
the
passage
of
the
budget.
This
fy
2223
state
budget
includes
federal
funds
appropriated
through
the
american
rescue
plan
and
we're
going
to
get
into
more
detail
in
this
minute
in
just
a
minute,
but
this
budget
has
a
lot
of
very
positive
things
in
it,
including
a
lot
of
tax
relief
funding
for
the
citizens
of
tennessee,
but
we
will
just
kind
of
go
through
the
appropriations.
C
Schedule,
take
a
walk
through
that
and
then
we'll
look
at
some
of
the
highlights
that
I've
mentioned
earlier
in
the
appropriation
schedule.
You'll
see.
The
first
block
is
just
talking
about
the
available
revenue
which
was
identified
on
the
appropriations
on
the
governor's
aaa
then.
The
second
block
is
legislation
passed
by
the
general
assembly
that
provides
additional
revenue
sources
and
those
dollars
are
identified
there,
either
revenue
or
a
recognition
of
decreased
expenditure
from
a
bill
sponsored
by
our
own
leader
camper.
C
The
next
section
talks
about
the
adjustments
that
the
legislature
is
proposing
to
the
governor's
proposed
budget.
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
each
and
every
one
of
those,
but
we'll
talk
about
the
larger
ones.
The
finance
and
administration
capital
projects
fund.
That
is
the
additional
647
million
dollars.
That's
basically,
a
result
of
the
federal
funding
that
has
come
in
we'll
be
taking
some
of
those
dollars
to
fund
some
of
the
things
that
we're
talking
about
in
here.
There
was
135
million
dollars
that
was
set
aside
previously
and
coveted
funding
that
has
not
been
utilized.
C
The
governor's
budget
initially
proposed
200
million
dollars
for
real
relocation
of
schools
and
flood
zones,
but
there's
a
lot
of
discussion
a
lot
of
movement
on
just
exactly
where
those
schools
are
how
many
of
them
there
are.
There
are
just
a
lot
of
questions
about
that,
so
we
are
reallocating
that
funding.
However,
we're
making
sure
there's
20
million
dollars
that
will
be
set
aside
in
the
budget
for
waverly
to
make
certain
that
those
schools
they
are
kept
hold
when
they
replace
those
those
schools
and
they're
replaced
outside
the
flood
plain.
C
C
C
So
we
are
not
in
any
shape,
form
or
fashion,
damaging
those
grants
and
the
work
that
is
done
through
them,
which
has
been
very
positive.
It's
been
a
lot
of
conversation
for
a
long
time
about
the
professional
privilege
tax,
and
we
have
made
a
concerted
effort
in
this
legislature
to
reduce
those
kinds
of
taxes.
We
are
continuing
that
process
in
the
inconsistent
with
what
we've
done
in
the
past.
C
C
C
C
With
that
in
mind,
we
are
moving
an
additional
200
million
dollars
into
the
rainy
day
fund
that
will
bring
the
total
of
that
fund
up
to
1.8
billion
dollars,
which,
yes,
it's
a
lot
of
money.
But
again
our
budget
is
has
grown
significantly
too.
So
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
can
cover
the
cost
that
we
need
to.
Should
there
be
a
dramatic
downturn,
and
with
that
I
will
just
talk
about
some
of
the
highlights,
and
then
we
will
have
any
questions
that
you
would
like.
C
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
most
excited
about-
and
I
wish
the
media
headline
walking
out
of
here-
would
be
tennessee
legislature
cuts
taxes
for
tennesseans
by
300
million
dollars.
They
may
choose
another
headline,
but
that
was
that
would
be
the
one
that
I
would
ask
them
to
consider,
because
I
think
it's
really
important
to
the
pocketbooks
of
tennesseans.
C
C
Our
agricultural
sales
tax
has
been
a
bit
of
a
hodgepodge
for
quite
some
time
where
we
have
tweaked
it
here
and
there
with
an
item
or
two,
but
we
are
going
to
make
a
major
overhaul
in
the
agricultural
sales
tax
this
year
and
we're
going
to
treat
it
like
the
manufacturing
sales
tax.
That
is
the
the
model
that
we're
going
to
use,
and
that
is,
if
you
have
your
certificate
from
the
department
of
revenue
and
whatever
you're
buying,
is
used
in
the
process
of
farming.
C
Then
it's
going
to
be
the
sales
tax
will
no
longer
apply.
So
that's
a
3
million
recurring
charge
cost
there
we're
also-
and
we
can
speak
a
long
time
about
how
it
got
to
be
applied.
But
we
have
been
taxing
the
installation,
repair
and
creation
of
computer
software
for
the
past
three
years
and
for
some
time-
and
we
are
going
to
remove
that
for
three
years-
that's
six
million
dollars
recurring
and
we
have
a
lot
of
businesses
across
the
state
who,
every
month
send
in
sales
tax
to
the
state.
C
At
one
point
in
time
they
had,
there
was
a
fee
that
they
were
allowed
to
keep
to
pay
them
for
doing
that.
That
was
cut
out
several
years
ago.
We're
not
re-establishing
the
fee,
but
we
are
for
one
year-
and
this
is
chairman-
hawk-
has
been
working
on
this
for
quite
some
time,
but
for
one
year
we
will
give
vendors
a
small
compensation
for
submitting
those
fees
to
the
state
it's
25
per
location
per
month,
the
maximum
of
300
dollars.
C
If
you
have
multiple
locations
across
the
state.
So
again,
I
think
you
can
see
by
those
numbers
in
that
limited
number
of
locations
that
this
is
really
geared
to
our
tennessee
small
businesses.
That's
who
we're
trying
to
help
with
this.
We
have
spent
a
lot
of
time
talking
about
broadband.
We've
spent
a
lot
of
money
and
the
federal
government
has
sent
a
lot
of
money
to
be
spent
on
broadband.
C
We
are
going
to
forego
that
for
three
years,
which
we,
our
hope
is,
and
our
aim
is
to
incentivize
that
that
broadband
deployment
will
go
even
faster.
The
period
will
match
with
the
the
grant
periods
for
those
broadband
grants
that
I
mentioned
earlier.
We
have
sales
tax
exemption
on
gun
safes
for
a
year.
We
did
that
for
one
year,
we're
going
to
do
that
for
another,
and
this
is
a
new
something
we
have
not
done
before,
and
it's
a
very
large
number
and
will
hit
every
tennessean
who
owns
a
car.
C
We
are
going
to
remove
the
state
license:
plate
registration
fees,
the
state
portion
when
you
go
to
buy
your
tag
from
june
1
of
this,
I'm
sorry
from
july
for
the
fiscal
year,
22
23.
When
you
buy
your
tag,
you
will
not
have
to
pay
the
state
price.
You
will
still
have
to
pay
if
there's
a
local
wheel,
tax
or
whatever
local
charges
apply,
but
the
state
portion
of
the
license
tax
for
your
personal
vehicle,
not
for
our
friends
with
with
commercial
vehicles,
but
for
your
personal
vehicles
for
your
motorcycles.
C
C
C
C
If
you
made
a
92
you're
going
to
have
a
b
versus
your
friend
in
kentucky,
who
made
it
the
same
92
and
would
have
an
a
in
his
gpa,
so
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
our
students
in
tennessee
are
just
have
a
level
playing
field
in
that
regard,
and
we
also
are
expanding.
The
tennessee
promise
scholarship,
the
hope,
scholarship,
we're
increasing
that's
for
the
first
time
since
2008
and
we're
doing
it
on
a
graduated
basis
so
that
we're
paying
more
for
students
in
their
junior
and
senior
year.
C
C
C
I
think
what
we
put
together
here
is
a
budget
that
reflects
tennessee
values,
a
budget
that
we
as
a
legislature
can
be
proud
to
go
home
and
tell
our
folks
that
that
we've
voted
for
it
and
supported
it,
and
these
are
the
things
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
to
make
tennessee
safer,
to
make
tennessee,
make
sure
that
all
tennesseans
have
opportunities
for
education
and
to
make
sure
that
we
are
preparing
as
best
we
can
for
whatever
might
come
economically
down
the
road.
So
with
that,
mr
chairman,
I
would
entertain
questions.
A
F
F
A
F
C
A
number
of
things
that
there
were
some
philosophical
concerns
about
the
state
getting
involved
in
funding
local
schools,
but
I
think
the
bigger
concern
was
that
identifying
those
schools,
first
of
all,
200
million
dollars-
was
not
going
to
be
able
to
replace
every
school
in
the
state
of
tennessee.
That
is
in
a
flood
plain
and
identifying
those.
It
was
kind
of
a
moving
target.
C
It
changed
from
time
to
time.
So
because
of
those
reasons
we
decided
to
reallocate
those
dollars.
But,
as
I
mentioned,
we
are
making
sure
that
waverly,
which
is
you
know,
as
just
as
we
have
done
in
other
areas
of
the
state
sevierville,
for
instance,
with
the
fires.
A
few
years
ago,
we've
made
sure
to
take
care
of
our
locals
when
there
is.
F
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
why
we
decided
to
not
fund
that
I
thought
this
was
where
the
we
had
law
enforcement.
There
was
going
to
be
managing
grants
that
they
would
be
given
to
community
organizations
to
help
in
prevention
of
crime.
Is
that
the
same
pool
of
money?
Is
this
a
different
fund
that
you're
talking
about
here.
C
No,
that
is,
I
believe,
we're
talking
about
the
same
dollars
and
again,
I
think
the
concern
that
many
of
us
had,
as
we
talked
through
that
and
walked
through,
that
there
was
a
lack
of
specificity.
If
you
will
about
how
that
program
would
be
administered,
what
the
outcomes,
how
it
would
be
measured,
what
the
outcomes
would
be
and
again
with
the
just
the
lack
of
hard
information
that
we
felt
we
needed.
F
One
more
thank
you,
and
at
this
point
you
said
that
the
rainy
day
fund
is
at
1.8
billion,
with
the
additional
200
million
we're
going
to
put
in
correct.
That's
correct,
and
I
know
in
the
past
you've
been
concerned
about
the
number
of
days
that
this
could
you
know
cover.
Should
you
know
we
end
up
in
a
recession,
and
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
what
you're
seeing
to
that
end
as
to
why
we
will
put
an
additional
200
200
million
in
there.
C
Again,
we're
looking
at
a
bigger
base
budget,
so
the
cost
of
running
the
state.
Although
a
lot
of
these
dollars
are
non-recurring,
if
we
have,
if
we
do
have,
you
know
a
what's
the
the
word,
a
negative
economic
outcome,
then
I
think
we
need
these
dollars
to
just
be
certain
that
we
can
do
the
things
that
we
need
to
do
to
take
care
of
basic
services
and
make
sure
that
tennesseans
aren't
harmed
any
more
than
they
have
to
be
in
that
sort
of
circumstance.
F
This
is
really
the
first
time
since
I've
been
here
that
I've
seen
this
much
appropriated
for
legislative
initiatives
and
I
actually
think
it's
a
good
idea,
because
I've
said
in
the
past
that
we
spend
a
lot
of
money
on
the
executive
branch,
accomplishing
things
and
doing
our
mission
and
and
what
we're
required
to
do.
There's
also
a
lot
of
things
that
people
need
in
their
districts
that
are
things
that
the
administration
may
not
see
as
a
priority
that
members
might
see
as
a
priority.
F
So
if
you
look
back
over
the
various
years,
you
will
see
that
we
may
have
had
a
small
allocation
of
10
15
20,
maybe
30
million
dollars
to
accomplish
you
know
things
that
the
legislature
felt
was
important.
So
this
is
the
first
time
I've
seen
such
a
large
amount
to
do
that,
and
so
I
think
it's
a
good
idea,
but
I
also
think
it
should
have
been
a
little
bit
more
equity
there
in
terms
of
the
things
that
were
funded
with
the
legislative
initiative.
C
A
Those
opposed
no
the
eyes
have
it
house
bill
288
moves
to
full
finance.
That
brings
us
to
item
number
two
on
our
calendar.
It's
going
to
be
house
bill
2883
by
chair,
lady
hazelwood.
You
have
a
motion
and
a
second
it
looks
like.
There
are
two
timely
filed
amendments
on
this
bill.
Plus
there
are
two
untimely
files.
So,
let's
take
up
the
two
timely
first,
the
first
is
going
to
be
amendment
drafting
code01700.
A
I
A
All
right,
you've
heard
the
description,
any
discussion,
seeing
none
we're
now
voting
on
drafting
code,
zero,
one,
seven,
zero,
zero,
zero
to
house
bill,
two,
eight,
eight
three,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye,
all
those
posts
know
the
eyes.
Have
it
back
on
the
bill
as
amended,
and
that
brings
us
to
the
second
amendment
that
we're
going
to
look
at,
which
is
drafting
code
zero,
one,
seven,
five,
zero,
five,
that's
going
to
be
by
chair,
lady
hazelwood.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
you
have
a
motion.
C
C
It
was
very
difficult
last
year
when
we
did
the
sales
tax
holiday
on
groceries.
It
was
very
difficult
for
these
folks
in
the
micro
markets
and
vending
machines
to
accommodate
that,
because
the
the
price
is
displayed
for
each
individual
item
or
and
the
vendors
don't
have
the
technology
to
change
that
the
price
for
items
that
they
sell
quickly.
So
it's
very
again,
we
don't
want
with
our
sales
tax
holiday
and
with
the
other
things
that
we're
doing
we're
attempting
to
help
tennesseans
and
help
tennessee
businesses.
A
All
right
members
you've
heard
the
description
of
amendment
one
seven,
five,
zero,
five,
any
discussion,
seeing
none
we're
now
voting
on
the
amendment
to
house
bill
two,
eight
eight
three,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
all
those
opposed,
no
the
eyes
have
it
we're
back
on
the
bill
as
amended,
and
that
brings
us
to
the
third
amendment
we
will
look
at.
It
is
untimely
filed.
That
is
going
to
be
we're
going
to
need
a
motion
to
actually
consider.
So.
Is
there
a
motion
to
consider
the
untimely
file?
It
is
yours,
leader,
camper.
A
A
F
A
F
A
C
A
All
right
members
you've
heard
the
discussion
of
house
bill
2883
or
you
heard
the
description.
Are
there
any
discussion
seeing
none
we're
now
voting
on
house
bill
2883,
moving
on
to
full
finance,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye,
all
those
opposed.
No
the
eyes
have
it
house
bill
2883
moves
to
full
finance
right.
That
brings
us
to
item
number
three
on
our
calendar
out
of
number
three
is
going
to
be
house
bill
2886
by
chair,
lady
hazelwood.
A
C
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
amendment
does
make
the
bill.
This
simply
authorizes
us
the
state
to
issue
bonds.
This
is
the
bill
that
again
is
part
of
the
budget
process
every
year.
It
includes
bonding
for
potential
bonding
for
proceeds
for
the
department
of
transportation,
should
they
have
an
issue
in
timing
or
that
sort
of
thing
with
any
of
their
construction
to
the
bonding
for
the
proposed
construction
of
a
dumb
stadium
is
here
as
and
it
cancels
the
bonds
that
were
issued
by
public
chapter
758
of
2020..
A
E
E
Is
zero?
I
think
it's
important
for
the
body
and
and
the
members
to
know
that
we
can
authorize
the
issuance
of
bonds,
but
that
does
not
mean
we
are
in
fact
going
to
do
so
much
like
we
have
for
many
many
years,
at
least
since
I've
been
here
as
it
relates
to
roads
so
because
we
pay
for
our
roads
as
we
go
in
tennessee.
So
thank
you,
chairman
members.
J
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
in
this,
as
I
understand
it
is
as
described,
is
the
appropriation
of
or
permission
for,
500
000
or
500
million
dollars
in
bonds
for
this
new
stadium,
and
you
know
just
some
some
points
I'd
like
to
make
out.
We
had
some
folks
that
wanted
to
testify
today,
but
they
were
actually
not
able
to
physically
make
the
trip
at
the
last
minute.
J
So
I'm
trying
to
read
some
things
into
the
record
if
I
could
know
that,
there's
a
claim
that
the
neighborhood
surrounding
the
stadium
would
create
29.5
billion
dollars
of
economic
impact
over
a
30-year
period
along
with
more
than
19
000
jobs,
but
the
state
estimates.
Estimates
also
claim
that
super
bowl-
I
guess
that's
54
in
2020
in
miami,
had
a
571
million
economic
impact
and
super
bowl
52
in
minneapolis
had
a
450
million
dollar
total
economic
impact.
J
The
claims
of
the
state
report
like
that
of
the
prior
world
cup
report
were
not
independently
funded,
but
instead
come
from
those
promoting
the
stadium,
the
team
or
the
event.
Economic
impact
studies
can
be
tricky,
and
so
such
raw
numbers
without
much
explanation
should
not
be
viewed
credibly
by
anyone
said
jc
bradbury,
an
economist
from
kennesaw
state
university
of
georgia.
J
The
tax
revenues
that
come
directly
from
titan
stadium
related
to
spending,
without
accounting
for
the
fact
that
much
of
that
spending
would
have
happened
elsewhere
in
that
same
area.
This
is
just
reallocating
spending.
The
state
report
also
includes
a
stadium
cost
benefit
analysis
sheet.
That
now
estimates
the
bonds
to
have
a
four
percent
debt
service
that
will
ultimately
cost
the
state
about
710
million
dollars
over
20
years.
J
A
fiscal
note
on
that
bill,
and
this
is
a
little
concerning
estimated
that
it
would
spend
it
would
send
10
million
annually
to
a
special
state
account
for
the
davidson
county
sports
authority.
The
cost-benefit
analysis,
however
estimates
the
tax
revenue
from
the
mixed
use
campus
would
be
about
13.8
million
dollars
annually.
So
there's
a
discrepancy,
they've
been
even
inflated
numbers
over
and
above
what
our
own
fiscal
review
folks
have.
J
A
All
right
all
right
members
for
further
discussion
on
the
amendment
cnn,
we're
now
voting
on
amendment
zero,
one,
seven,
zero,
zero!
Two
on
to
house
bill,
two,
eight,
eight
six,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
all
those
opposed.
No
the
eyes
have
it.
We
are
back
on
the
bill
as
amended
members.
As
always,
if
you
want
to
be
recorded
as
a
no
just
get
the
clerk's
attention
and
she
will
get
you
down
as
such.
C
A
Right,
thank
you
very
much
members.
Any
discussion
on
the
bill
on
house
bill
2886,
seeing
none
we're
now
voting
on
house
bill,
2886,
moving
on
to
full
finance,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye,
all
those
opposed.
No
the
eyes
have
it
house
bill
2886
moves
to
full
finance
all
right.
That
brings
us
to
item
number.
Four
on
our
calendar
item
number
four
is
going
to
be
house
bill
2884
by
chair
lady
hazelwood.
Do
we
have
a
motion?
A
second?
We
have
a
motion.
Second
you're
recognized.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
house,
bill
2884
and
the
following
bill
are
simply
authorizing
us
to
increase,
exceed
the
index
of
estimated
growth.
As
those
of
you
who
have
been
around
a
while
will
recognize
the
copeland
cap,
we
are
breaking
through
the
copeland
cap,
so
this
legislation
h.b
2884.
It
allows
us
to
do
that
for
budget
years
21-22,
and
with
that,
mr
chairman,
I
would
renew
my
motion.
A
D
C
I
think
the
answer
to
that
is
depends
on
what
you
describe
as
normal.
The
last
several
years
have
been
very
different
and
very
abnormal.
Our
growth
in
revenues
has
been.
You
know
much
larger
than
we're
accustomed
to
for
a
longer
period
of
time.
Pardon
me
so
again,
it
is
normal
for
this
season
that
we
are
in.
A
Thank
you.
Further
discussion
on
house
bill
see
2884
we're
now
voting
on
house
bill
2884
on
to
moving
on
to
full
finance,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye,
all
those
opposed.
No
the
eyes
have
it
house
bill.
2884.
Moves
on
to
full
finance
brings
us
to
item
number.
Five
item
number
five
on
our
calendars
house
bill
2885
by
chair
lady
hazelwood.
C
A
C
A
A
Just
a
reminder
that
these
bills
will
be
up
in
full
finance
ways
and
means
committee
tomorrow
morning
at
9
00
a.m,
which
brings
us
to
our
second
calendar
and
again
just
going
to
make
this
announcement
again
that
these
bills
will
also
be
up
tomorrow
morning
at
9
00
a.m,
in
the
full
committee
of
finance
ways
and
means.
So
all
right.
A
I
know
some
of
our
members
are
probably
glued
to
the
monitor
in
their
office,
so
we'll
let
them
know
to
be
moving
this
way
and
we're
going
to
take
up.
I
know
chairman
hulsey
is
first
so
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
we're
going
to
begin
with
number
one
and,
as
I
think,
leader,
lambert
is
going
to
carry
this
one.
So
members
item
number
one
is
house
bill:
2656
again
is
going
to
be
by
leader
lamberth.
This
was
previously
considered
in
place
behind
the
budget.
A
Funding
for
this
bill
has
now
been
secured
and
it
can
now
move
out
of.
It
can
now
now
move
out
into
full
finance.
So
any
objection
to
reconsidering
our
actions
on
house
bill
2656,
seeing
none
house
bill.
2656
is
back
before
us
all
right
item
number
one
on
our
calendar
is
going
to
be
house
bill
2656
by.
I
A
Right
leader,
let's
get
a
motion
and
a
second
on
the
bill.
You
have
a
motion.
A
second
it
looks
like
there
is
an
amendment
that
actually
writes
the
bill.
So
let's
it's
drafting
code
0-1-7-5-7-1,
yes,
you're,
correct.
We
have
a
motion
a
second
on
the
amendment.
We
have
a
motion
to.
Second,
let's
go
ahead
and
get
the
amendment
on
again
any
discussion
on
the
amendment
hearing
unseen.
None
we're
now
voting
on
amendment
017571
on
two
house
bill
2656,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
all
those
opposed.
I
Mr
chairman
and
again
I
commend
our
speaker,
speaker
sexton,
the
lieutenant
governor
for
bringing
a
piece
of
legislation.
I
know
representative
hulsey
and
I
for
years
have
talked
about
the
absolute
state,
horrible
state
of
our
criminal
justice
system.
Folks
get
10
years
to
serve
and
nobody
can
tell
you
what
it
means
for
the
crimes
that
are
listed
in
these
bill
in
this
bill,
like
second-degree,
murder
or
voluntary,
manslaughter
criminal,
negligent,
homicide,
vehicular
homicide.
That
was
a
result
of
a
dui.
I
mean
some
of
these
heinous
heinous
crimes
will
be
at
100.
I
I
There
are
a
few
other
crimes
that
are
still
very
very
harmful
to
our
society,
but
they
will
be
at
a
lower
level
at
90
percent
and
you
can
only
gain
credit
for
educational,
vocational
or
substance
abuse,
disorder
programs
within
the
prison
system.
That
comes
from
some
of
the
testimony
that
we
heard
and
those
are
reckless
aggravated
assault,
aggravated
robbery,
aggravated
burglary,
reckless
homicide,
a
vehicular
homicide
that
was
not
the
result
of
intoxication
I'll.
Be
honest.
I
Many
of
us
wish
that
you
know
all
of
these
were
100
percent,
but
again,
based
on
the
input
and
testimony
that
came
in
some
of
these
were
lowered
down
in
that
category.
Mr
chairman,
that's
what
the
bill
does.
I
will
tell
you
someone
who's
practiced
law
for
almost
20
years,
both
as
an
assistant,
district
attorney
and
in
private
practice.
A
Seeing
none
we're
now
voting
on
house
bill
2656,
moving
on
to
full
finance,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye,
all
those
opposed.
No
the
eyes
have
it
house
bill
2656
moves
to
full
finance,
all
right
members.
That
brings
us
to
item
number.
Two
on
our
calendar
item
number
two
is
going
to
be
house
bill,
1976
by
deputy
speaker
johnson.
This
was
previously
considered
in
place
behind
the
budget.
Funding
for
this
bill
has
now
been
secured
and
it
can
move
on
to
full
finance.

Let's
give
him
just
a
second,
I
know
speaker
marsh
is
here
he
was
just
here
and
he
stepped
out
so
we'll
roll
that
without
objection,
we're
gonna
roll
that
one
spot.
So
with
that
objection
rolled
one
spot
all
right,
let's
go
to
item
number.
Four
item
number
four
is
house
bill
2573
by
chairman
doggett.
This
bill
was
previously
considered
in
place
behind
the
budget.
Funding
for
this
bill
has
now
been
secured
and
it
can
move
out
of
full

So
any
objection
to
reconsidering
our
actions
on
house
bill
2573,
seeing
none
house

A
A
All
right,
thank

Thank

A
I
thought
we
were
gonna
have
to
pull
speaker
johnson
out
of
the
bullpen,
but
I
see
the
starters
showed
up
all
right
item
number
three
house
bill,
1981
by
speaker,
pro
tem
marsh,
was
previously
considered
in
place
behind
the
budget.
Funding
for
this

has
now
been
secured
and
it
can
move

A
G
Mr
chairman
house,
bill
1981,
codifies
the
use
of
ambulance
operators
and
clarifies
that
a
for
hire
endorsement
is
not
needed
to
operate.
An
ambulance
has
been
has,
as
has
been
allowed
by
emergency
rule
and
executive
order.
This
legislation
will
codify
the
use
of
non-licensed
and
entry-level
personnel
to
operate
an
ambulance
as
long
as
they're
working
toward
getting
their
certification
within
the
next
year.
A
A
A
All
right
that
brings
us
to
item

house

This

All

This

Funding

So

2802
is
back

Thank

All

Chairman

You've

Any

all

That
brings
us
to
item
number.
Seven
item
number
seven
is
house
bill
2455
by
representative
hicks.
A
A
I
I
This
bill
doesn't
change
anything
about
the
requirements
that
they
need
to
be
enrolled
in
an
educator
preparation
program
if
they
haven't
completed
one
or
they
can
provide
proof
of
pairing
with
a
highly
effective
mentor
teacher
and
completion
of
coursework
and
classroom
management
pedagogy
serving
students
with
disabilities,
english
learners,
the
teacher
code
of
ethics
and
from
the
state
board
approved
educator
preparation
program.
So
this
bill
is
just
to
help
make
it
a
lot
simpler
to
get
ct
instructors
in
our
vocational
schools
in
our
high
schools.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
representative
hicks
members,
you've
heard
the
description
of
house

A
A
A
E
Thank
you,
chairman
of
members,
thanks
to
colonel
whitson,
for
his
efforts
on
this.
He
and
I
were
contacted
by
several
interested
parties
after
local
fool
last
week
regarding
this
bill,
and
so
this
amendment
is
to
try
to
remedy
some
concerns
that
were
had,
and
those
two
remedies
would
include
the
inclusion
of
c5s
and
c6s
in
the
statute
in
the
bill
that
was
was
described
last
week.
It
only
included
501c4s.
E
This
would
include
501c,
5s
and
6s
as
well.
It
also
seeks
to
clarify
that
the
notification
of
contributions
is
and
who
is
contributing.
Money
is
not
included
in
this
legislation.
That
portion
the
bill
just
seeks
to
clarify
that,
because
there
were
some
concerns,
the
the
expense.
This
would
only
apply
to
expenditures
over
five
thousand
dollars.
Per
with
that
chairman
of
members,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
the
members
might
have
all.
A
A
K
However,
over
the
past
year
we
have
discovered
there
are
parts
of
the
tca
that
needs
to
be
updated
and
changed
to
ensure
disclosure
of
dark
money,
transparency
and
campaign
activities,
holding
bad
actors
accountable
and
responsive
actions
by
our
overwatch
agencies.
Our
intent
is
to
increase
public
confidence
and
trust
in
the
campaign
process
in
regards
to
how
campaigns
are
financed
and
how
public
officials
and
elected
members
are
held
accountable
to
the
people
of
tennessee.
A
H
H
I've
heard
from
groups
such
as
the
americans
for
tax
reform
and
the
nra,
cpac
the
national
insurance
crime,
bureau
and
also
alec,
and
you
know
I
serve
on
the
board
of
directors
of
alec
and
these
groups
have
501c4s
they
they.
They
do
talk
about
issues,
they
oftentimes
score
legislators
and
I
know
when
I'm
running
for
election.
H
I
want
to
use
the
scores
of
these
groups
on
my
campaign
materials
and
in
fact,
someone
asked
me
it
was
really
funny
they
said.
Would
you
use
your
f
score
from
planned
parenthood
on
your
campaign
materials?
I
said
I
sure,
would
that
absolutely
I
often
I'll
tell
everybody
planned
parenthood
gave
me
enough,
but
how?
How
do
you
answer
that?
Do
you
see
this
as
limiting
speech
around
an
election
by
a
501
c?
Four,
I
know
sometimes
there's
groups
they.
They
definitely
say
things
that
are
hurtful
things
that
we
don't
like.
H
I
know
that
and
it's
very
meaningful
to
them
and
if
a
lot
of
times
nra
will
send
a
little
orange
postcard
and
if
they
can't
do
that,
it
is
that
that's
what
they've
articulated
to
me
that
it's
going
to
keep
them
from
doing
something
like
that,
and
I
don't
you
know,
I
don't
want
to
throw
a
monkey
wrench
on
the
whole
bill.
This
bill
has
a
lot
of
good
stuff
in
it,
and
I
respect
the
sponsors
of
this
bill
immensely.
H
K
Colonel
whitson.
Well,
thank
you
for
that
question.
My
good
friend
and
I
I
have
enjoyed
working
with
you
over
the
years
on
some
tough
issues
and
we
stood
together.
First
of
all,
this
does
not
change
at
all
anything
that
501
c4s
can
do
in
regards
to
their
information
and
sharing
facts
and
stuff.
It's
just
60
days
before
a
campaign,
a
primary
or
or
general
election
is
if
they
spend
an
aggregate
of
five
thousand
dollars
or
more
disseminating
information
that
has
the
likeness
of
a
person
or
their
name.
They
are
to
re.
K
If
they're
operating
like
a
pack,
they
just
need
to
report
like
a
pack
just
their
just
their
expenditures,
not
their
contributions,
so
we
do
not
limit
them
in
anything
what
they
can
say
or
do
in
that
regard,
that
they've
always
done.
The
whole
purpose
is
to
capture
active
political
community
communications,
particularly
dark
money.
Current
near
an
election
with
a
substantial
amount
of
money
has
been
paid
anything
it
could
be
from
five
thousand
dollars
to
a
million
dollars
to
influence
a
campaign.
H
And
that
your
description
there
certainly
sounds
reasonable.
It
absolutely
sounds
reasonable
and
I
know
the
bill
has
evolved
and
changed
a
lot,
and
you
know
I
wouldn't
I
wouldn't
want
them
not
to
be
able
to
send
something
out
and
also
I
wouldn't
want
to
not
be
able
to
use
their
scores
or
whatever
on
my
campaign
materials,
because
I
will
put
on
my
campaign
materials.
H
K
Yes,
if
you're
501c4
sent
out
a
picture
used
60
days
before
a
a
primary
or
a
general
election,
with
your
picture
and
say
you
know,
chairman
lynn
supports
us
100
she's,
a
great
advocate
for
second
amendment
rights,
and
that
would
classify
if
they
spent
more
than
five
thousand
dollars.
But
let's
say
they
spent
five
thousand
on
you
and
for
my
a
rating
and
chairman
bonds
rating
that
would
exceed
the
five
thousand,
they
would
just
have
to
disclose
that
they
spent
five
or
excuse
me.
Fifteen
thousand
dollars
promoting
campaign
activities
for
us.
H
E
G
K
E
I
think
thank
you,
colonel.
I
think
the
point
we're
trying
to
make
is
is
all
we're
asking
people
to
do
is
report.
We're
not
asked
we're
not
telling
them.
They
can't
communicate
with
their
vendors,
we're
not
telling
they
can't
get
involved
in
campaigns.
We're
simply
saying
60
days
prior
to
an
election,
just
like
we
have
to
do.
E
J
J
Chairman
todd,
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
I
guess
I'm
just
thinking
I'm
kind
of
wondering
why
they're
in
this
bill,
as
as
representative
lynn
mentioned
it,
it
seems
a
little
odd
from
from
the
standpoint
of
in
the
political
arena
that,
if
an
organization
is
just
communicating
with
their
membership,
which
they
pay
dues
with
whatever
that
just
seems
a
little
more
different
to
me,
you
know
than
than
a
pac,
which
is
for
political
purposes
where
c4,
as
you
said,
is
for
an
advocacy
purpose.
I
I
just
found
it
a
little
odd.
K
They
can
say
chairman
todd
can
advocates
this
position
or
or
we
support
his
his
actions
over
the
past
year
to
support
second
amendment
rights
or
rights
for
say,
dogs
or
cats,
or
anything
like
that,
and
so
what
we've
had
over
the
past
year
is
501c4s
will
put
a
likeness
of
a
candidate
or
their
name
in
a
negative
tone
to
try
to
influence
elections
60
days
before
the
primary
or
the
general
election,
and
that's
basically
active
campaigning
again.
This
is
nothing
new.
Is
they
have
to
report
this
also
within
federal
law?
K
J
A
A
All
right
members,
we
are
back
on
item
number.
Eight
out
of
number.
Eight
is
house
bill
2261
by
representative
jernigan.
It
was
previously
considered
in
place
behind
the
budget.
Funding
for
this
bill
has
now
been
secured
and
it
can
move
on
to
full
finance.
Any
objection
to
reconsidering
our
actions
on
house
bill
2022-61,
seeing
none
house
bill.
2261
is
back
before
us
item
number
eight
house
bill
2261
by
representative
jernigan.
You
have
a
motion
to
second,
you
are
recognized,
sir
okay.
G
G
I'll
have
my
glasses
with
me.
Okay,
thank
you.
Members
house,
bill
2261
was
brought
to
me
by
the
tennessee
hospitality
association
and
and
worked
with
the
abc.
This
bill
does
five
things:
it's
it
synchronizes
businesses
licenses,
so
this
provision
will
allow
a
licensee
to
synchronize.
Thank
you
appreciate
that
multiple
establishments
so.
G
G
The
fourth
point
will
allow
wholesalers
to
deliver
directly
to
a
site
instead
of
going
to
the
to
the
restaurant
and
then
to
the
site.
So
it's
it's
it's
for
catering
as
well,
and
the
last
one
is
a
notification
to
violation
to
the
owners
so
when
applying
to
renew
a
license,
the
abc
they'll
list,
the
name
and
the
email
of
the
licensee
that
way
they
get
the
notification
of
a
violation
and
not
just
going
to
a
restaurant
and
the
bartender
gets
it
and
drops
it
and
never
gets
to
them.
G
A
Right,
thank
you,
representative
jernigan,
for
this
description
members.

Brings

number
nine

has

been

item

sjr0055
by
representative
reedy.
You
have
a
motion
to
second,
sir.
You
are
recognized.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
and
committee.
Of
course.
What
we're
doing
here
is
a
cleanup
of
the
constitution.
It
proposes
amendments
to
remove
article
9,
section
1
of
the
constitution
of
tennessee,
which
provides
that
no
minister
of
the
gospel
or
priest
of
any
denomination
whatsoever
shall
be
eligible
to
a
seat
in
either
house
of
the
legislature.
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much,
representative
brady
members.
You've
heard
the
description
any
discussion
on
sjr
55,
seeing
none.
We
are
now
voting
on
sjr
55,
moving
on
to
full
finance,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
all
those
opposed,
no
the
eyes
have
it.
Sjr55
moves
to
full
finance.
Thank
you,
representative.
A
Our
members,
that
brings
us
to
item
number
three
item,
number
three
on
our
calendars,
as
is
hjr
715
by
rep.
Okay,
let's
try
that
again.
Item
number
three
is
hjr.
It
is
a
long
day.
I'm
telling
you
item
number
three
is
going
to
be
hjr
715
by
chair
lady
hazelwood.
We
have
a
motion
to
second
you're
recognized.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
This
is
our
resolution,
proposes
to
amend
article
2
section
31
of
the
tennessee
constitution
and
would
allow
the
investment
of
state
funds
and
equities
and
stocks.
Currently,
the
constitution
prohibits
the
state
from
investing
in
whole
or
in
part,
and
any
bank
or
stockholder
with
others
in
any
association
company,
corporation
or
municipality.
C
As
we
have
all
seen,
what's
happened
with
the
stock
market
over
the
past
few
years,
the
prohibition
can
limit
the
return
that
the
state
would
receive
on
the
investments
of
its
funds
and
that,
in
turn,
inhibits
the
state's
ability
to
provide
the
needed
services
to
its
citizens.
So
this
proposed
language
would
just
simply
provide
that
state
funds
may
be
invested
in
equities
with
the
adoption
of
an
investment
policy
that
would
be
developed
by
the
governing
body
of
the
state
of
it
and
governing
body
or
state
official
charged
with
carrying
out
the
purposes
or
objections
objectives.
C
It
has
truly
been
a
long
day
of
the
fund
or
trust
administered
by
the
state,
and
the
policy
would
have
to
be
approved
by
the
state
treasurer
and
also
by
the
comptroller,
and,
as
you
know,
this
is
the
the
first
step
in
a
long
process.
If
this
amendment
is
passed
during
this
general
assembly,
it
would
then
need
to
be
passed
during
the
next
general
assembly
by
two-thirds
vote,
and
then
it
would
be
placed
on
the
ballot
for
tennessee
citizens
to
vote
on
in
the
next
gubernatorial
election,
which
would
be
2026.
A
A
All
right
members,
thank
you
for
your
patience,
the
taster
calendar
which
we're
about
to
take
up
now.
These
bills
will
come
up
next
week
and
the
full
finance
ways
and
means
committee.
So
again
the
tasker
calendar
will
be
next
week
at
the
bills
that
come
out
all
right.
Let's
go
to
item
number
one
out
of
number
one's
house
bill,
12,
24
19,
and
we're
going
to
go
to
chairman
williams.
E
Thank
you,
chairman
of
members.
I
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
with
representative
manus
regarding
this
request
for
taser
study.
As
I
said
earlier,
in
finance
sub,
when
representative
sparks
was
here
regarding
his
study,
I
spoke
with
representative
manus.
The
this
body
was
hoping
to
send
only
two
studies
to
tasser
this
year.
This
was
representative.
Menaces
was
not
one
of
them,
however,
as
I
have
the
great
honor
of
showing
up
here
to
serve
on
passer
when
you
guys
are
at
home.
E
A
F
D
Representative
vogels,
thank
you
chairman,
and
this
may
be
a
question
for
representative
william.
How
did
we
come
up
with
the
number
two
this
year?
I
know
in
previous
years
there's
been
as
many
as
four
studies
is
that
just
do
we
wait
what
they're
already
working
on
versus
the
county
or
how
do
we
subjectively
come
up
with
a
number?
That's
my
question.
Thank
you.
Chairman.
A
Chairman
williams,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
got
confused
well,
I
just
I
don't
want
to
get
too
much
in
debating
of
when
we
got
items
representative
ogles
you've
got
a
bill.
You
want
to
hold
up
and
we'll
get
you
and
you
can
ask
that
question.
It's
really
weird
having
a
discussion
where
there's
nothing
really
to
discuss,
because
that
bill's
already
moved
on
and
taken
off
notice.
So
I
don't
want
to
just
be
out
talking
in
thin
air.
I
think
we
do
that
enough.
All
right
item
number
two
is
house
bill.
2278.,
I
didn't
see.
A
G
Mr
chairman,
members,
knoxville
is
the
seventh
largest
city
in
america
without
passenger
rail
traffic
nashville's.
The
third
tennessee
is
the
most
underserved
state
in
america
for
lack
of
passenger
rails
traffic,
and
this
simply
provides
an
avenue
for
tester
to
study
this
issue,
and
I
appreciate
your
support
and
for
full
clarification.
Representative
powell,
the
good
father
he
is
had
to
pick
up
his
son
from
school.
So
he's
not
here
and
I'm
the
substitute.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Chairman
wendell
members,
you've
heard
the
description
of
house
bill
2278
any
discussion,
seeing
none
we're
now
voting
on
house
bill,
2278,
moving
on
to
full
finance,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye,
all
those
opposed.
No
the
eyes
have
it
house
bill
2278
moves
to
full
finance
all
right.
That
brings
us
to
item
number
three
on
our
calendar
item.
Number
three
is
going
to
be
house
bill
2761
and
that
is
by
representative
reedy.
Do
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second?
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second.
A
A
Right,
let's
get
this
amendment
on.
You
have
a
motion
to

on
the
amendment.
Any
discussion
on
the
amendment

we're

voting
on

the
eyes
have
it
we're

on
the
bill
as
amended
and
sir,
you
are
recognized.
G
Mr
chairman
and
committee
members,
of
course
this
come
through
the
agriculture
committee.
What's
important
is
landowners
are
being
approached
with
lease
agreements
to
transition
agriculture,
land
into
solar
facilities,
and
very
few
laws
exist
to
protect
landowners
from
exploitation,
damages
and
unexpected
monetary
losses
of
these
solar
companies
that
are
coming
to
them.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
representative,
ready
members.
You've
heard
the
description
of
house
bill
2761
any
discussion,
seeing
none
we're
now
voting
on
house
bill,
2761,
moving
on
to
full
finance,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye,
all
those
opposed.
No
the
eyes
have
it
house
bill
2761
moves
to
full
finance.
All
right.
That
brings
us
to
item
number
four
out
of
numbers.
Four
is
2729
by
representative
ogles.
You
have
a
motion
a
second,
so
you're
recognized.
Thank.
D
You
chairman
members
of
committee,
this
would
instruct
tasser
to
do
a
comprehensive
study
of
the
911
and
reporting
of
crime
on
college
campuses.
I
want
to
thank
chairman
curcio's
office.
He
had
two
interns
that
audited
all
the
universities
in
the
state
of
tennessee
and
what
they
found
is
we
have
somewhat
of
a
discombobulated
system,
some
schools
say
call
911.
D
A
E
E
Based
on
that,
as
I
told
you
on
the
house
floor
on
monday
night,
though,
and
as
I've
seen,
you
work
over
the
past
several
years
as
it
relates
to
crime
prevention
and,
as
you
well
know
before
you
were
even
elected,
remember
we
talked
a
lot
about
the
tbi
report
and
it's
reporting,
as
it
relates
to
different
things
and
particularly
and
and
crime
in
our
schools,
and
so
the
the
goal
is
to
talk
to
dr
lippert
as
a
member
of
tashard
encourage
him
exhort
him
to
do
this.
It's
just
that.
E
Obviously,
the
there
are
a
couple
of
options
we
can.
I
can
make
a
motion
sent
to
summer
study.
You
can
take
it
off
notice,
but
either
way,
I'm
going
to
advocate
to
ask
the
passer
to
study
this,
because
I
do
think
you
make
some
great
points
as
to
as
the
importance
of
it
with
that
chairman.
I'm
I'm
I'm
going
to
defer
back
to
my
colleague
and
ask
him
what
he'd
rather
do
if,
if
not
I'll,
make
a
motion
to
send
summer
study.
D
D
D
D
E
A
There
a
second
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
bill.
The
motion
is
properly
before
us
any
discussion
on
the
motion
to
send
a
summer
study,
seeing
none
we're
now
voting
on
the
motion
to
send
house
bill
20.
I
can't
read
my
own
right:
27
29
to
summer
study,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
all
those
opposed.
No
the
eyes
have
it
house
bill
2729
to
summer
study.
