Description
House Government Operations Committee- April 4, 2022- House Hearing Room 1
A
B
A
Seeing
none
we're
ready
to
begin
our
calendar
before
we
do
that,
though,
a
couple
of
announcements
item
number
one
which
is
house
bill
2320
by
griffey,
I'm
sorry
2312
by
griffey,
will
be
rolled
to
the
final
calendar.
At
the
request
of
the
sponsor
item
number
seven
house,
bill
1690
by
hurt
will
be
taken
off
notice
at
the
request
of
the
sponsor
and
that's
all
the
administrative
announcements
I
have
if
you're
waiting
for
those
bills
you're
free
to
wander.
I
see
no
objections
to
that.
A
A
A
B
Okay,
what
this
bill
is
taking
care
of
it's
already
illegal
in
tennessee,
for
a
chemical
abortion
by
telehealth
means,
and
what
we
found
out
was
there
was
not
any
punishment
for
that
for
anyone
that
might
break
the
law.
So
what
this
does?
It
creates
a
class
e
felony
for
anyone
who
intentionally
knowingly
or
recklessly
violates
this
act,
and
it
provides
a
basis
for
a
civil
malpractice
action
against
a
health
care
provider.
A
A
A
C
C
A
A
A
A
A
E
A
Okay,
members,
you've
heard
the
explanation.
The
amendment.
Do
we
have
a
motion,
we're
adding
amendment
number
14687
to
the
bill
and
any
objections
seeing
none
we're
voting
on
it.
All
in
favor
indicate
saying
aye
aye
all
opposed,
nay,
the
amendment's
on
the
bill
and
mr
sponsor
do
you
have
any
further
explanation
you
want
to
put
forward
now.
E
A
A
A
F
This
sets
forth,
who
sets
forth,
who
the
department
of
safety
and
department
of
revenue
may
share
information
with
the
problem.
We're
trying
to
solve
with
this
legislation
is
preventing
tennesseans
from
receiving
calls
from
telemarketers
who
have
pieced
together
information
from
various
sources
to
create
a
database
in
order
to
make
solicitations.
F
One
of
these
sources
is
the
state
of
tennessee.
The
departments
are
careful
with
who
they
release
information
to
and
in
fact,
it
is
defined
in
code
who
they
can
and
cannot
release
this
information
to
some
of
it
is
federally
acquired
or
shared
for
good
purposes,
such
as
research
research.
But
when
we
look
at
the
list
of
14
things
that
they
are
allowed
to
release,
there
are
a
couple
that
you
might
call
catch-alls
and
under
these
provisions,
information
might
get
released
that
can
be
used
as
a
puzzle,
piece
to
create
data
set
for
these
telemarketing
companies.
F
Imagine
a
jigsaw
puzzle
on
the
table
and
the
telemarketing
companies
are
putting
the
pieces
of
the
puzzle
together
to
form
a
database
that
contains
the
information
they
need
to
make
these
phone
calls.
The
information
from
the
departments
is
one
of
those
puzzle
pieces,
the
others
may
be.
Voter
records
and
people
have
opted
into
telemarketing
preferences
and
they
put
all
this
into
a
pool
of
data
and
they
manage
the
data
aggregate,
the
data
and
they
cross-reference
it,
and
then
you
get
a
call
trying
to
sell
you
something.
F
We
are
not
solving
the
problem
with
this
bill,
but
we
are
contributing
to
the
solution.
By
trying
to
take
away
one
of
the
puzzle
pieces
that
the
data
aggregator
may
use
to
build
the
database.
The
department
of
safety
and
revenue
are
okay,
with
the
bill
as
amended,
and
so
are
the
auto
insurance
companies.
We
spoke
to.
A
F
A
We
have
other
questions
of
the
sponsor,
seeing
none.
We
are
voting
on
sending
house
bill
2763
to
finance
ways
and
means
all
in
favor
indicate
by
saying
aye
all
opposed,
nay
eyes.
Have
it
bill
moves
out
to
finance
ways
and
means.
Thank
you,
mr
chair
committee.
Thank
you.
Next
on
the
agenda
hospital
1999
by
chairman
jernigan,
you're
recognized
sir.
A
A
B
A
A
C
A
Amendment
number
is
one
five,
one,
four
zero
already
on
the
bill.
That
is
correct.
Mr
chairman,
please
proceed
members.
This
bill
is
about
accountability.
There
is
a
another
bill
that
is
a
companion
piece
of
this
being
carried
by
chairman
carringer,
but
essentially,
what
this
bill
does
is
require
an
annual
report
to
the
committees
of
the
senate
and
the
house
education
committees
on
a
person's
license
to
teach
students
in
kindergarten
through
k-3
rather
and
who
are
trained
by
state-approved
education,
preparation
providers.
A
There's
much
more
detail
on
this,
but
the
upshot
of
it
is
is
the
state
board
of
education
is
authorized
already,
but
in
this
bill
it's
emphasized
to
place
on
probationary
probationary
status
or
even
revoke
the
approval
of
an
education
program
provider
for
issuing
or
permanently
for
producing
enough
teachers
that
are
not
capable
of
satisfying
those
needs.
Now.
This
is
three
year
time
frame
on
this
which,
by
which
way
it's
not
aimed
at
the
teachers.
A
It's
aimed
at
the
education
preparation
providers,
there's
a
separate
issue
in
code
which
allows
the
school
boards
to
address
teacher
problems
at
the
end
of
the
third
year.
Most
of
those
teachers
will
probably
have
been
coached
and
given
additional
training
by
their
peers
and
by
the
administration
where
they
work.
So
this
problem
should
not
exist
at
that
point,
but
it's
important
for
us
to
realize
that
very
few
people,
in
fact
I
know
of
nobody
that
swings
their
feet
out
of
bed
in
the
morning
hops
up
and
says.
A
So
if
our
teachers
are
coming
to
k
through
3
and
not
able
to
get
our
students
able
to
read
at
the
end
of
that
time
frame,
I
submit
to
you
it's
not
the
teacher,
it's
those
who
prepared
that
teacher
and
prepared
them
inadequately
and
that's
what
this
bill
is
about.
It's
collecting
data
so
that
we
can
see
what's
happening
with
that.
I
stand
ready
to
answer
questions.
Thank.
D
A
E
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
a
comment
more
than
a
question
a
lot
of
times.
The
reason
that
the
child
is
not
learning
to
read
it
doesn't
have
to
do
with
a
teacher,
but
it
has
to
do
with
things
in
the
in
the
students
environment,
their
preparation,
maybe
no
access
to
pre-k
those
kinds
of
things.
So
it's
not
necessarily
you.
We
can't
deduce
that
it's
the
teacher
training
program,
because
students
didn't
learn
to
read.
There
are
a
whole
lot
of
other
things.
E
A
A
D
It
really
wasn't
the
parents
that
we
really
needed
to
talk
to
and
and
I'd
like
to
say,
if
you
have
a
a
responsible
parent,
you
won't
have
any
students
that
can't
read
and-
and
I
don't
know
what
kind
of
legislation
we
can
pass
up
here,
but
it's
really
not
the
teachers,
it's
more,
the
parents,
the
responsibility
on
them,
making
sure
that
they
read
out.
You
know
to
them
at
night
and
make
sure
they
have
the
homework.
But
it's
it's
really,
not
the
teachers
being
accountable.
B
Thank
you
chairman.
So
earlier
this
session
we
had
a
bill
that
passed
out
of
committee,
that
was
to
allow
more
educators
to
be
able
to
teach
in
our
schools
without
having
the
certifications
and
the
trainings
that
was
necessary.
How
is
this
bill
going
to
affect
that?
As
far
as
the
teacher
programs
and
those
teachers
that
we've
just
now
allowed
to
just
be
able
to
go
in
and
teach
our
children.
A
Chairman
reagan,
data
will
be
collected
on
all
those
teachers
and
the
source
of
their
certifications.
If
any
will
be
noted,
those
earlier
bills
where
we
allowed
teachers
who
or
not
from
education
preparation
providers
to
step
in
the
system
have
a
limited
time
frame.
In
fact,
by
the
time
this
bill
goes
into
effect,
any
of
those
that
are
still
left
in
the
system
will
be
in
their
final
year
unless
they
have
made
steps
forward
to
get
their
certifications,
in
which
case
they'll
fall
in
the
same
category
as
anybody
else.
C
A
In
fact,
it
would
be
welcome
data
because
we'll
be
able
to
assess
how
that
source
of
teachers
in
our
classroom
is
performing
in
relation
to
the
output.
To
an
earlier
point,
let
me
stress
to
you
that
right
now,
tennessee's
literacy
rate
at
the
end
of
the
third
grade
is
less
than
a
third
it's
32
percent.
At
best,
as
last
time,
I
checked
that's
unacceptable.
There
are
school
systems
in
our
nation
that
are
producing
third
grade
literacy
of
nearly
two-thirds
or
over
68
percent
closing
in
on
70.
A
If
they
can
do
it,
I
think
tennessee
can.
This
is
part
of
assessing
what
it
takes
to
make
up
the
gap.
As
was
pointed
out
earlier,
perhaps
parents
are
not
doing
all
they
should,
but
I
submit
to
you
that
two-thirds
is
not
the
right
number
for
saying
parents
are
not
doing
their
job.
We
have
something
that
needs
correction
in
our
system.
For
us
to
find
that
correction,
we
have
to
collect
data,
we
have
to
find
out
where
the
holes
are
before.
A
This
will
allow
the
department
of
education
to
point
out
to
those
sources
that
they
need
to
up
their
game.
They
need
to
change
something
because,
whatever
they're
doing
isn't
working
just
for
those
of
you,
that
may
not
be
aware
these
education,
preparation
providers
or
teachers
colleges,
their
bragging
rights,
are
some
how
well
their
students
do
on
praxis
tests
practice
one
and
practice
two,
and
I
don't
have
a
thing
against
those
tests.
A
The
sources
of
teachers
should
be
preparing
those
teachers
to
handle
the
challenges
that
they
face
in
the
classroom
when
they
hit
hit
the
ground
running
so
to
speak,
and
if
they're
not,
then
we
need
to
change
something
and
that's
what
this
bill
is
about
figuring
out
whether
or
not
that's
happening
and
be
able
to
recommend
that
these
sources
change
things
not
telling
them
what
to
change
but
tell
them.
They
need
to
change
something
representative
johnson.
E
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
yeah.
One
of
the
things
that
that
we
need
to
do
here
is
also
understand
the
test
scores
better.
Proficient
is
not
a
reading,
a
readability
everybody
says:
well,
they
they
can't
read
on
a
third
grade
level:
they're,
not
proficient.
That's,
really
not
what
proficient
means
below
proficient
means
you
can
read
on
on
that
grade.
Level.
Proficiency
means
that
you
can
use
the
language
in
writing
and
conversation
and
all
of
those
things
as
well.
We
are
sort
of
misnaming.
What
we're
calling
31
can
read.
E
C
Thank
you
chairman,
ray
fazen,
please.
This
question
is
being
called
any
objections,
seeing
none
all
in
favor
of
moving
house
bill,
2057
out
to
calendar
and
rules
signified
by
saying
aye,
aye
opposition,
nay,
bill
moves
out.
That
concludes
our
calendar.
If
there
is
no
further
business
to
come
before
this
committee,
we
stand
adjourned.
