Thank
you,
madam
clerk
members.
We
have
a
consent
calendar.
This
calendar
contains
10
items
as
a
reminder.
This
is
from
the
list
that
we
put
out
immediately
after
the
organizational
session.
No
one
has
notified
me
that
there
are
objections
to
any
of
these
bills,
so
I'll.
Ask
now:
has
anyone
got
an
objection
to
any
of
the
bills
on
a
consent,
calendar.
A
A
On
the
regular
calendar,
some
housekeeping
item
number
one
which
is
house
bill,
359
and
item
number
five
house
bill
319
respectively,
have
been
taken
off
notice
and
you
have
any
questions
on
that.
One,
seeing
none
the
remainder
of
the
calendar
are
my
bills,
so
I
will
turn
the
gavel
over
to
the
vice
chair.
Mr
vice
chair,
you
have
it.
C

Mr
chairman
and
and
committee,
mr
vice
chair
and
committee
members
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
bob
roth
and
I
serve
as
our
commissioner
of
economic
and
community
development
for
the
department
and
to
my
right
is
grant
menchu.
Who
is
our
legislative
director
and
to
my
immediate
left?
Is
sharon?
Cobb
sharon
serves
as
our
general
counsel
and
assistant
commissioner,
and
to
her
far
left
is
crystal
ivy,
who
is
our
broadband
director
and
so
sir,
with
no
further
ado.
With
your
permission,
I'd
like
to
turn
over
the
mic
to
grant
menchu
our
legislative
director.
E
After
the
release
of
the
2019
sunset
ccd's,
internal
audit
underwent
an
external
quality
assessment,
peer
review
in
accordance
with
the
gao
yellow
book
standards
and
achieved
a
pass
rating
number
two
on
the
broadband
finding.
We
have
drafted
an
internal
process
document
which
provides
guidance
on
steps
and
the
grant
awards
process,
including
responsible
parties.
E
This
document
will
also
be
used
as
a
training
document
for
continuity
of
operations
in
the
event
that
the
current
staff
members
are
no
longer
with
the
program.
Additionally,
we
have
drafted
a
memo
to
accompany
the
grant
procedures
document
which
includes
additional
corrective
actions
such
as
increasing
the
members
of
ecd
that
are
on
the
scoring
committee
to
make
sure
it's
not
just
folks
from
the
broadband
team,
as
well
as
requiring
annual
approval
of
pro
program
guidelines
by
the
executive
leadership
team
and
allowing
additional
time
for
grant
documentation
by
ecd's
grant
committee.
E
Lastly,
on
our
the
fast
track
related
finding
since
the
sunset
hearing,
our
legal
team
drafted
a
written
internal
process
document
that
will
complement
our
policy
2013-007
grant
management
and
sub-recipient
monitoring
implementation
plan.
Ecd
concurred
that
some
information
was
submitted
incorrectly
by
committees.
Some
clerical
errors
occurred
in
ecd's
review
and
some
reports
and
communications
were
documented
incorrectly.
Due
to
clerical
error.
Ecd
has
made
personnel
changes
to
better
reflect
the
skill
set
needed
to
obtain
report
reports
in
a
timely
manner,
review
reports
more
accurately
and
document
data
and
communications
more
thoroughly.
A
Thank
you.
This
is
not
a
question.
I
just
want
to
commend
the
department
on
the
progress
you've
made
on
that
report.
Those
those
findings
were
worthy
of
addressing
you
did
a
good
job
addressing
them.
So
I'd
like
to
congratulate
you
on
behalf
of
the
committee
and
I'd
also
like
to
congratulate
you
on
behalf
of
the
general
assembly
on
the
work
you've
been
doing
about
getting
tennesseans
back
to
work
and
getting
companies
to
our
state.
So
thank
you
for
that.
A

Our
mission
for
depository
institutions
is
to
ensure
safe
and
sound
operations
while
being
mindful
of
economic
development.
We
simply
call
that
regulatory
balance
and
the
concept
that's
important
in
doing
this
is
to
ensure
that
there's
tailored
regulation
by
assessing
each
bank
or
each
credit
union
on
its
own
merits
and
circumstances
and
avoiding
a
one-size-fits-all
regulatory
approach.
G
We
empower
examiners
to
make
important
judgments
about
institutions
rather
than
trying
to
regulate
through
more
and
more
laws
and
regulations
that
tend
to
take
discretion
by
the
hands
of
local
regulators
and
examiners.
As
we
work
with
institutions
on
the
non-deposit
side,
our
mission
is
to
create
the
greatest
amount
of
access
to
credit
within
the
bounds
of
the
law
and
fair
operations
by
non-deposit
companies.
G
C
A
A
C
C
Thank
you,
sir.
The
bill
has
been
moved
and
seconded
any
further
discussion
on
house
bill.
275
saying
none
all
those
in
favor
of
sending
house
bill
275
to
calendar
rules
signify
by
saying
aye
in
the
opposition,
nay
moves
out
to
calendar
rules.
Thank
you,
commissioner,
appreciate
you
being
with
us
today.
A
This
bill
sends
tennessee
bureau
of
investigation
for
to
2025
and
again
as
a
reminder,
this
particular
organization
was
before
us.
The
reason
they're
not
on
the
consent
calendar
is
twofold:
one
is
their
size
and
the
other
one
is.
There
were
a
few
questions
that
were
asked.
So
if
committee
members
have
questions,
I
would
ask
that
we
go
out
of
session
to
hear
from
the
department
without
objection.
C
H
H
This
was
also
resolved
prior
to
the
audit
being
released.
It
has
to
do
with
the
drug
offender
registry,
also
in
the
drug
diversion
beginning
in
august
of
2020.
Our
intelligence
analyst
in
the
drug
division
began
notifying
the
executive
director
of
the
national
association
of
the
drug
diversion
investigators
on
each
business
day
after
the
deletions
of
a
drug
offender
from
the
registry.
H
H
C
F
Hey,
mr
chairman,
I
don't
really
have
a
question.
I've
got
a
comment.
I'm
not
sure
how
many
people
have
read
this,
but
I
contacted
director
over
the
weekend
and
congratulate
him.
I
believe
the
tbi
and
some
with
in
conjunction
with
us
law
enforcement
agencies,
have
located
150
missing
children.
Is
that
the
correct
number?
Yes,
sir,
and
it
what
I
read
said
that
some
of
them
were
obviously
had
been
sex
trafficked.
So
my
comment
to
the
director
was:
thank
you.
F
A
Thank
you,
mr
chair
and
I'll
echo.
What
my
colleague
just
said
thank
you
for
the
to
the
department
for
that,
and
also
remind
my
colleagues
that
the
audit
findings
that
you
see
before
you
also
had
observations.
The
observations
don't
need
to
be
addressed
until
they
become
findings.
However,
I'm
sure
that
the
the
department
is
working
on
these
with
that
said,
mr
chair,
the
the
bill
was
to
extend
the
tennessee
bureau
of
investigation
to
2025.
C
A
C
You
go.
The
the
bill
has
been
moved
and
seconded
all
those
in
favor
of
sending
house
bill
303
to
calendar
rules
signify
by
saying
aye
aye.
Any
opposition,
no
ass
is
on
the
calendar
rules.
Gentlemen,
thank
you
and
have
a
great
day.
Thank
you!
So
much
members.
Next,
on
the
calendar
item
number
five
house
bill.
319
was
taken
off
the
calendar,
the
last
one
on
the
calendar
for
today
number
six
chairman
reagan.
You
are
recognized
on
house
bill,
308,
tennessee,
public
charter,
school
commission,
sir.

The
commissioners
are
appointed
by
the
governor
and
are
approved
by
the
general
assembly,
confirmed
by
the
general
assembly
of
the
eight
current
commissioners.
Two
are
women
and
two
are
people
of
color.
The
charter
commission
still
includes
one
vacancy
from
the
middle
grand
division
and
we
are
awaiting
appointment
of
this.
Commissioner
by
the
governor.
I
J
J
The
path
for
charter
schools
always
starts
at
the
local
district
level,
in
which
an
operator
has
to
apply
to
the
local
district
first
and
only
upon
receiving
a
denial
from
that
local
district
may
appeal
to
the
commission
when,
in
all
appeals
processes,
the
charter
commission
hold
a
public
hearing
in
the
local
district
that
the
charter
school
intends
to
locate.
A
public
hearing
will
allow
the
local
district
and
the
operator
will
have
a
chance
to
be
heard
publicly,
and
we
will
also
be
accepting
public
comment
in
preparation
for
this
work.
J
The
charter
commission
has
had
extensive
training,
both
from
the
state
board
of
education
who
previously
held
this
role,
as
well
as
from
national
experts
on
charter
school
authorizing
on
january.
I'm
sorry
july,
1st
of
2021
the
authorization
responsibilities
currently
held
by
the
state
board
of
education
will
transfer
to
the
charter.
Commission
the
charter
commission,
as
an
authorizer,
will
hold
the
responsibility
of
oversight
and
monitoring
of
those
authorized
charter
schools,
and
we
are
currently
staffing
up
to
assume
that
responsibility.
J
A
I
Mr
chair,
we
would
would
like
for
you
to
write
a
letter
to
the
governor
communicate.
We
had
a
discussion
with
the
governor's
team
about
two
weeks
ago,
asked
them
where
they
were
in
making
the
appointment.
They
told
us
they
were
interviewing
candidates.
We
had
hoped
before
we
appeared
here
today
to
be
able
to
tell
you
all
that
there
was
a
ninth
candidate.
You
know
who
had
been
nominated
by
the
governor
for
this
middle
tennessee
position.
That
is
not
the
case.
We
are
still.
I
I
would
hope
today,
as
I
sit
here
in
front
of
you
and
your
and
the
committee,
that
I
can
say
no,
I
believe
that
they
are
are
really
about
to
the
position
to
make
this
nomination.
So
thank
you
again,
but
I
might
ask
the
chairman:
if
we
aren't
there,
could
I
reach
back
out
and
say:
maybe
would
you
still
consider
writing
a
letter.
A
C
A
Thank
you,
mr
vice
chair.
As
a
reminder,
again,
this
extends
the
public
charter
school
commission
to
2023.
This
is
a
sunrise
bill.
That
is
the
standard
time
that
we
give
sunrise
agencies.
They
will
be
back
before
us
after
after
that
period
of
time,
for
further
authorization.
Thank
you,
mr
vice
chair.
C
A
Thank
you,
mr
vice
chair.
Do
we
have
further
business
in
front
of
our
committee?
If
not
as
a
reminder,
committee
members,
the
next
joint
meeting
will
be
29
march
and
of
course
we
have
our
regular
meeting
on
mondays
of
every
week,
but
in
preparation
for
a
rule
review
which
is
what's
going
to
happen
at
our
joint
committee.
Just
a
reminder,
if
we
have
no
other
business
before
us
without
objection,
we're.
