Thank
you
so
much
full
committee.
What
this
bill
will
do,
it
would
create
tennessee
as
a
state
model
employer
for
the
disabled,
and
the
purpose
is
to
ensure
that
the
state
agencies
and
departments,
design
and
proactively
implement
best
promising
and
emerging
policies,
practices
and
procedures
related
to
the
recruitment,
hiring
advancement
and
retention
of
qualified
individuals
with
disabilities
as
part
of
our
workforce.
This
will
be
done
through
the
department
of
human
resources.
D
They
will
have
two
people
that
will
do
other
things,
but,
as
I
told
the
subcommittee
about
four
years
ago,
we
had
an
ad
hoc
committee
on
disabilities
and
we
traveled
the
state
and
we
got.
This
is
where
this
came
from
an
idea
from
those
travels,
and
we
just
found
without
those
people
in
human
resources
to
have
that
focus
and
to
help
keep
this
in
front
of
our
departments
and
to
encouraging
hiring
the
disabled.
So
that's
what
it
does.
A
Thank
you,
chairman
moody,
and
I
would
underscore
chairman
moody's
comment.
She
mentioned
that
there
will
be
two
people
working
on
this
in
the
department,
but
they
will
also
be
working
on
other
things
right
as
a
result
of
that,
the
fiscal
note
that
held
us
back
behind
the
budget
originally
has
been
removed.
So
that's
why
we
have
the
bill
before
us
and
the
question
has
been
called
any
objection
to
the
question.
E
If
I
could,
I
just
wanted
to
tell
you
thank
you
for
for
this
and
just
share
a
quick
story.
We
had
a
pizza
company
back
in
back
in
my
papa
john's,
and
this
guy
was
deaf
and
blind.
So
hear
me
out
on
this
now
folks,
it's
serious
now
don't
don't
be
laughing
and
stuff.
This
is
this
serious.
It's
kind
of
deaf
and
blind
he's
working
for
for
papa
john's
folding,
1200
pizza
boxes.
E
He
could
fold
1200
pizza
boxes
in
three
hours,
three
hours
and
the
guy
had
a
better
work
ethic
than
most
people
out
here
today
and
he
had
a
desire
to
work.
He
was
deaf
and
blind,
and
I
witnessed
that
and
I
witnessed
papa
john's-
give
him
a
job.
So
thank
you
for
listening
and
see.
Sadly,
a
lot
of
people
don't
want
to
listen.
E
D
A
You
reverend
sparks.
I
would
note,
I
don't
believe
anyone
was
chuckling
about
the
condition
of
the
man
you
were
describing.
I
think
we
all
recognize
that
those
are
very
difficult
disabilities
to
deal
with
and
admire
anyone
who
does
that
in
a
way
then
and
is
a
contributing
member
of
society.
In
spite
of
all
that,
so
the
question
was
called.
Is
there
any
objection
to
calling
the
question
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
opposed.
A
C
A
You've
heard
the
sponsor's
explanation,
the
question
has
been
called
any
objection,
call
in
question:
seeing
none
we're
voting
on
house
bill
432
all
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
any
opposed
the
odds.
Have
it
house
bill,
432
moves
on
to
calendar
and
rules
that
completes
our
calendar
for
today.
