Okay,
we're
gonna
do
a
housekeeping
on
the
calendar
here
to
get
everything
aligned
properly
and
then
we
don't
wanna
waste
anybody's
time
for
waiting
on
a
bill.
So
we'll
get
you
up
to
date
on
everything
house
bill
841
by
williams,
has
been
rolled
one
week
item
number
eight
on
the
calendar
hb0439
by
griffey
has
been
rolled
to
the
last
committee.
A
C
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
house,
bill
348
has
an
amendment.
C
Yes,
mr
chairman,
the
amendment
makes
the
bill
house
bill
348,
as
amended,
helps
make
certain
that
everyone
applying
for
a
liquor
license.
Retail
liquor
license
must
comply
with
the
existing
law,
which
requires
financial
responsibility.
C
Recently,
we've
seen
instances
where
liquor
by
the
drink
owners
have
shut
down
businesses
without
paying
debts
or
taxes
only
to
receive
a
new
liquor
by
the
drink
license
through
the
abc.
So
that's
what
this
bill
does.
D
A
A
A
C
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
house,
bill
866
as
amended
pertains
to
the
delivery
of
alcohol
from
a
retail
package
store.
The
delivery
of
alcohol
from
a
retail
package
store
is
legal
in
tennessee.
Today,.
C
All
this
bill
will
do
for
the
delivery.
Companies
is
to
operate
under
a
percentage
basis,
a
percentage-based
business
model
if
they
choose
to
as
it
is
in
today's
law,
they're
under
a
fee
based
now,
if
you're,
delivering,
groceries
or
food
or
anything
from
a
restaurant,
that's
on
a
fee
based,
but
alcohol
is
on
a
flat
fee.
A
C
You
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
The
amendment
made
the
bill
so.
A
We've
had
a
request
for
testimony.
Can
will
you
draw
your
thanks
thanks,
sir
we'll
go
out
of
session
to
hear
some
testimony
by
brian
bivens
we're
out
of
session?
A
A
E
Mr
chairman,
this
bill
was
brought
to
me
by
the
department
of
treasury
glad
to
have
treasurer
lillard
with
us
in
the
audience
today
he's
my
backup
as
background
for
this
bill.
I
might
let
the
committee
know
that
it
is
the
responsibility
of
the
department
of
treasury
to
settle
any
tort
claims
that
come
against
the
various
departments
of
tennessee
that
even
includes
the
institutions
of
higher
education,
tdot
department
of
health.
Any
tort
claims
that
rise
against
them
treasury
settles
those
claims
as
an
example
a
minor
example
since
our
chair
transportation.
E
I
can
give
you
this
example
for
the
benefit
of
the
committee.
If
a
driver
hits
a
pothole
on
I-75
as
you
go
home
from
session,
and
if
it's
an
eight-inch,
deep
pothole
and
you
damage
the
front
end
of
your
car
or
blow
out
your
tire,
you
actually
have
access
to
make
a
claim
to
have
your
tire
replaced
and
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
that.
But
if
approved,
if
your
claim
is
approved,
then
then
you
can.
E
So
if
a
department
doesn't
respond,
let's
say:
wait:
75
85
89
days,
I
think,
which
is
what
happened.
Then
the
treasury
department
doesn't
have
enough
time
to
clear
the
claim
and
the
claim
by
law
is
denied.
That's
not
really
fair.
So
what
this
bill
does?
The
department
would
like
to
create
a
an
incentive
program,
and
this
bill
gives
the
department
the
authority
to
create
the
incentive
program.
This
bill
does
not
create
the
incentive
program.
E
F
Chairman
and
and
and
representative
howell
I'll,
certainly
we've
talked
about
this
bill.
I
certainly
will
will
support
it.
My
observation
still
holds
that
I
think
I've
shared
it
seems
like
the
governor's
office,
if
he's,
if
he
has
a
department
that
is
not
doing
their
job
in
providing
reports
timely
as
chief
executive,
he
should
be
able
to
take
the
action
to
speed
that
process
up
to
the
satisfaction,
and
we
don't
need
some
incentive
quote
system
to
do
it.
E
I
don't
disagree
representative
brickin.
Fortunately,
the
treasures
department
is
a
constitutional
officer
which
is
appointed
by
the
legislature,
so
the
legislature
is
taking
the
initiative
to
create
this
incentive
program
so
that
we
can
run
a
more
efficient
government
and
be
more
responsive
to
the
people
of
tennessee.
So
that's
why
we're
bringing
the
bill.
D
Thank
you
and
myself,
like
previous
representative,
will
I'm
going
to
support
this,
but
I
was
curious.
What
type
of
incentives
are
we
going
to
give
the
departments
they
can't
win
like
a
trip
to
hawaii
or
you
know
what
what
incentives
do
you
give
a
department
to
have
them
do
what
they
should
be
doing
anyway,.
E
Can't
speak
for
the
department
because
the
program
hasn't
been
created
yet,
but
in
discussions
the
things
that
have
been
discussed
have
been
monetary
incentives,
and
I
assume
there
would
be
benchmarks
if
you
respond
within
10
days
or
15
days
or
whatever
you
would
be
incentivized
and
the
fund
that
already
exists
is
the
risk
management
fund
out
of
which
the
claims
are
paid.
So
I'm
assuming
that
they
would
incentivize
them
some
way
to
their
budget
out
of
the
risk
management
fund
if
they
are
efficient
and
respond
in
a
timely
manner.
E
A
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Basically,
this
amendment
is
adding
to
the
bill.
It's
a
bit
disjointed
without
having
seen
the
bill
first,
but
what
this
amendment
does
is
provide
the
opportunity
for
complaints,
and
it
also
provides
that
someone
who
suffers
damages
from
a
public
or
a
monument
that
they
have
can
claim
or
make
a
claim
in
court
for
those
damages.
Now
I
can
go
into
greater
detail
on
this,
but
essentially
that's
it.
G
A
G
You,
the
amendment,
enhances
the
bill
first
off.
Let
me
say
that
the
tennessee
has
a
deep
and
rich
history,
all
the
way
from
mountain
city
to
memphis
and
tennesseans
across
the
state,
support
and
recognize
the
importance
of
our
history.
The
bill
before
you
today
strengthens
and
further
protects
the
preservation
of
tennessee
history.
G
To
this
point
in
time,
the
legislature
has
not
had
a
direct
role
in
selecting
members
of
the
tennessee
historical
commission.
This
bill
corrects
that
problem
by
dissolving
and
reconstituting
that
commission,
so
that
the
appointments
are
now
spread
between
the
governor,
the
speaker
of
the
senate
and
speaker
of
the
house.
G
This
gives
the
general
assembly,
which
has
close
contact,
of
course,
with
all
95
counties,
people
of
tennessee
the
opportunity
to
be
involved
in
getting
members
on
that
historical
commission
and,
additionally,
the
portion
that
I
just
read
to
you
as
an
amendment
allows
for
any
of
these
monuments
that
are
removed
to
be
put
before
the
tennessee
general
assembly
for
final
approval.
Now
the
the
bill
is
not
that
long.
I
probably
spoke
more
than
I
should
have
on
it,
but
the
guts
of
it
is
to
put
the
general
assembly
in
the
loop
right
now.
G
The
governor
makes
all
the
appointments
to
the
tennessee
historical
commission
and
I
and
a
number
of
others
think
that,
like
many
other
of
our
commissions,
we
should
have
a
balanced
selection
process
between
the
senate,
the
house
and
the
governor.
With
that
explanation,
I
stand
right
answer.
Questions.
A
D
Thank
you,
chairman
reagan.
I
don't
in
reading
this,
I
don't
have
any
problem
with
the
reshuffling
of
who
chooses,
who,
first
of
all
and
and
help
me
understand
this
amendment
with
it.
It
makes
the
person
financially
liable
for
any
damage,
which
is
understandable,
which
is
present
law
any
anyway
today.
But
the
the
question
I
have
is
a
criminal
penalty.
D
Tell
me
what
you're,
what
you're
getting
at,
what
what?
What
is
your
thought
with
this
adding
a
criminal
penalty
to
protect
and
then-
and
it
looks
like
it's
just
limited
to
the
bust
on
the
second
floor
of
the
capitol?
Is
that
correct.
D
G
Okay,
explain
to
me
where
you're
the
idea
behind
this
is,
as
I'm
sure
everybody
in
this
room
has
noticed,
there
was
a
statue
out
on
a
pedestal
in
front
of
the
capitol
building
that
is
no
longer
there.
It
was
damaged
beyond
replacement.
What
we're
going
to
do
with
that
as
the
general
assembly
will
come
later,
but
the
idea
behind
that
is
that
that
should
be
criminal
now
and
some
would
argue
that
destruction
of
public
property
already
is.
D
D
A
D
Question
is
the
sponsor
is,
is
trying
to
make
a
class
c
misdemeanor
for
the
destruction
of
of
of
a
monument
or
a
statute?
And
my
question
is:
is
that
not
already
a
criminal.
H
It's
regarding
the
removal,
concealment
or
obscuring
of
a
privately
owned
monument
plaque
marker
or
memorial.
Currently,
the
historical
commission
has
jurisdiction
over
publicly
owned
memorials
and
monuments
and
plaques.
This
brings
in
privately
owned
memorials
of
historical
significance,
and
I
think
in
that
context
a
private
citizen
would
have
a
cause
of
action
for
damage
to
his
personal
property,
with
respect
to
the
statutes
that
are
public
property.
On
the
second
floor,
there's
some
additional.
H
There's
some
additional
activities
that
are
being
captured
here,
like
the
concealment
or
obscurement
of
these
statues,
without
approval
in
accordance
with
this
section.
That
would
also
apply
the
the
classy
misdemeanor
would
also
apply
to
those
activities
and
I'm
not
sure
that
that
would
be
captured
by
any
existing
provision
of
law.
So
in
that
sense
I
think
it
may
be
an
extension.
D
Is
when
you
say
okay,
so
the
extension
would
be
to
the
part
of
the
amendment
that
says
unlawful
to
conceal
one
of
these
statues.
On
the
on
the
third
floor
of
my,
am
I
following
you
correctly.
H
Yeah,
I
think
so
conceal
and
obscure
the
two
that
jump
out
at
me
in
terms
of
what's
in
in
the
in
the
heritage
protection
act,
you
already,
you
can't
alter
remove
one
of
the
statues
without
getting
a
petition
approved
by
the
historical
commission.
H
Obscure
that's
a
good
question
I
mean
I
would.
I
would
say
that
if
it's
not
defined,
you
give
it
as
plain
and,
as
you
know,
as
an
attorney,
you
give
it
it's
plain
and
ordinary
meaning.
So
if
you
cover
it
up
or
block
it
in
some
way,
that's
you
know
from
the
public
view.
If
someone
would
try
to
put
something
over
cloth
over
a
monument
or
a
statue
that
would
be
obscurement
or
concealment,
I'm
not
sure
that
there's
you
know
I
can
articulate
the
difference
between
concealment
and
obscurement.
A
I
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
to
the
attorney
mr
mundy,
when
we
added
that
amendment
did.
Did
that
rewrite
the
bill,
or
did
it
just
add
to
it.
H
G
I
just
that
was
an
error
that
I
didn't
catch.
It
wasn't
intended
to
rewrite
it.
It
was
intended
to
add
to
it
so
with
that
I
will
volunteer
to
take
it
off
notice
and
fix
that
to
answer
the
question
about
concealment,
though,
before
I
do
that
there
was
an
incident
where
a
an
individual
dumped,
a
load
of
dirt
over
a
monument
covered
it
up,
otherwise
it
wasn't
damaged.
So
this
is
intended
to
prevent
that
also
private
monuments.
G
If
I
could
clarify
again
before
I
take
this
off
the
the
district
next
door
to
mine,
I
officiated
the
ceremony
of
the
daughters
of
american
revolution.
G
They
put
a
monument
up
in
one
of
the
historic
churches
in
this
district
celebrating
the
cemetery
there,
which
had
revolutionary
war
soldiers
buried
and
their
families
there,
and
this
monument
was
put
up
there,
it's
a
privately
owned
monument.
It's
not
it
doesn't
belong
to
the
state.
So
this
is
intended
to
capture
that.
So,
mr
chair,
because
I
screwed
up
on
this,
I
apologize
I'll,
take
this
off
notice
and
get
that
amendment
fixed.
A
J
J
It
would
be
beneficial
to
a
lot
of
different
people,
people
with
speech
and
hearing
impairments,
disabilities,
medical
situations
like
allergies
or
strokes
victims
who
have
been
abducted,
domestic
violence,
victims,
human
trafficking,
along
with
school
shootings,
currently
17
other
states
that
have
texting,
911
or
indiana
alabama,
vermont,
colorado,
georgia,
illinois.
The
list
goes
on
and
on,
and
so
the
technology
is
currently
available
through
the
next
generation
platform,
and
this
is
basically
just
trying
to
set
a
statewide
standard
to
be
implemented
by
january.

She
has
a
brief
statement:
she's
gonna
play
it
on
her
phone
here
and
then
also
sign
it.
So
you
all
can
understand
ready.
K
Hello,
chairman
holsclaw
and
house
sub
departments
and
agencies
committee
members.
My
name
is
molly
anderson.
I've
been
a
tennessean
for
seven
years
and
my
husband
and
daughter
on
the
way
call
chattanooga
home.
I
have
a
disability
called
apraxia
in
which
I
cannot
talk,
but
can
hear
perfectly
here's
why
house
bill
0173
is
so
important
to
me.
When
I
was
a
senior
in
high
school,
I
got
into
a
wreck
and
could
not
call
9-1-1.
K
I
spoke
in
front
of
the
local
city
council
meeting
on
senior
government
day
about
texting
9-1-1.
Well,
six
years
later,
I
crashed
again
this
time
into
a
funeral
hearse
believe
it
or
not.
Thankfully,
no
one
was
hurt,
though
the
casket
got
dented
the
dead.
Guy
was
okay.
Again,
I
wasn't
able
to
contact
9-1-1
when
I
facetimed
my
husband.
He
could
not
understand
me
because
I
was
crying
pretty
hard
and
my
signs
were
everywhere.
A
sweet
bystander
phoned
9-1-1.
For
me,
it
is
really
scary
when
I
can't
get
help.
K
B
B
Week
there
will
be
examples
of
cases
where
victims
would
have
de-escalated
the
situation
or,
frankly,
more
arrests
would
have
happened
if
they
were
able
to
text
9-1-1
instead
of
calling
or
not
being
able
to
call
in
the
first
place.
So
we'd
be
happy
to
answer.
A
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
and
representative
mannis.
I'm
certainly
fully
support
the
concept
of
the
bill,
I'm
going
to
kind
of
get
into
the
fiscal
aspects
of
it
again
with.
F
I
would
certainly
like
a
consideration
of
why
this
once
implemented.
It's
such
a
large
ongoing
annual
cost.
I
can
certainly
understand
upgrading
the
equipment
initially
and
the
initial
costs,
but
after
that
I
would
think
it
it
really
is,
should
be
in
conformity
with
their
existing
equipment.
So
I
I
just
concerned
that
we're
putting
again
additional
burden
on
our
local
911s.
F
A
A
M
Okay,
thank
you.
This
bill
house
bill
404,
was
brought
to
me
by
the
secretary
of
state
library
and
archives,
and
it's
dealing
mostly
with
our
regional
library
boards.
M
This
legislation
pretty
much,
is
about
talking
about
our
regional
library
boards
that
have
existed
since
1950s
in
tennessee
and
was
previously
these
boards
actively
governed
the
regional
library
offices.
However,
in
1995,
the
employees
of
the
regional
offices
became
state
employees
as
part
of
the
secretary
of
state's
office,
that,
since
that
time,
the
regional
library
boards
have
not
had
any
actual
authority
meetings
of
the
regional
library
boards
are
held
to
comply
with
the
law,
but
the
boards
do
not
conduct
any
official
business.
M
So,
and
if
they
didn't
have
these,
therefore
we
would
be
saving
a
decrease
of
our
state
expenditures
by
four
hundred
dollars,
so
the
secretary
of
state
was
just
asking
that
we
no
longer
have
this
these
boards
and-
and
I
have
mary
beth
from
the
secretary
of
state
here.
If
anyone
has
any
questions.
A
M
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
so
today
I'm
bringing.
M
Okay,
I've
got
house
bill
469,
and
this
is
dealing
with
the
treasury
department
and
it's
talking
about
unclaimed
property
bill
and
it's
the
treasury
department
hosts
the
state's
unclaimed
property
and
works
to
return
the
property
to
its
rightful
owners.
M
The
bill
amends
current
law
to
reflect
that
federal
law
was
recently
changed
to
move
the
required
minimum
distribution
age
from
70.5
to
72.
dale.
I
don't
know
if
that
might
get
you
in
there,
I'm
not
sure,
but
anyway,
so
current
law
requires
that
tax
deferred
retirement
accounts
are
presumed
abandoned
on
the
date.
A
second
communication
is
returned
undeliverable,
provided
that
the
apparent
owner
has
reached
70.5
or
if
the
apparent
owner
is
deceased
and
the
irs
requires
a
distribution.
M
Two
years
have
passed
since
the
holder
received
notification
of
the
death.
The
bill
amends
current
law
to
remove
the
reference
to
a
specific
age
and
instead
refer
to
the
age
by
which
the
irs
requires
a
distribution,
making
the
provision
evergreen
in
case
required
minimum
distribution
age
changes
in
the
future.
So
I
also
have
roy
west
here
with
the
department
of
treasure.
If
anyone
has
questions,
it
simply
is
allowing
the
department
of
treasurer
to
to
give
the
money
directly
if
they
know
exactly
who
is,
who
is
the
bearer
to
receive
the
monies
so.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
again,
the
the
conformity
with
the
federal
laws
and
the
our
irs
distribution
rules.
I
have
no
question
with,
but
section
two
dropping
the
unclaimed
property
from
fifty
dollars
to
twenty
five
dollars,
I
think
is,
is
not
needed
it
it.
It's
not
gonna,
I
think,
grab
a
lot
of
unclaimed
property.
F
If
anything,
it
should
go
from
fifty
dollars
to
a
hundred
dollars.
I
I'm
not
sure
why
the
treasurer
really
wants
to
to
to
do
this.
I
think
it's
just
going
to
put
an
increased
burden
to
the
treasury
department
for
this.
It's
the
systems
are
broken.
Certainly
in
my
banking
experience
for
unclaimed
property,
I
mean
those
reports
are
filled
out
and
I
just
don't
think
you're
going
to
capture
a
lot
by
doing
that,
but
you
are
going
to
bring
some
small
businesses
or
some
others
into
the
equation
of
this.
F
M
Yes,
so
roy
wes
from
department
of
treasurer
would
like
to
speak.
Mr
chairman.
B
Roy
west
department
of
treasury,
director
of
legislative
and
agency
affairs,
thank
you
for
the
question.
B
F
So,
of
course,
so,
currently
everyone
when
they
file
their
annual
reports
of
unclaimed
property,
the
50
or
less,
are
just
down
in
a
bucket
of
50
or
less
without
any
identification
they're
put
on.
F
I
don't
remember
that,
but
so
I
mean
without
looking
at
a
report,
but
you're
saying
those
are
just
identified
as
unidentified
on
I'm
I'm
bank,
and
I
there's
400
of
50
or
less
money
that
we
have.
We
we're
not
tip
we're,
not
telling
you
the
name
and
address
of
those.
So
now
the
bank
would
have
to
give
you
the
name
and
address
for
those
from
25
to
50
dollars
right.
Is
that
what
we're
saying.
B
B
A
It
does
a
couple
of
things:
it
streams
on
two
departments
to
trying
to
make
it
better
for
the
efficiency
of
the
department,
its
business
and
services
and
charitable
solicitation
and
gaming,
and
they
collect
funds
for
this,
and
it
goes
into
the
big
bucket,
and
this
is
going
to
allow
them
to
use
a
percentage
of
that
to
defray
the
operating
cost
of
the
department.
A
Also,
it
they're
going
to
do
two-fold
things.
It's
going
to
reduce
the
current
fees
that
they
charge,
these
charitable
organizations
that
used
to
run
like
25
bucks,
you're
going
to
bring
it
down
to
10
and
then
for
businesses.
It
was
anywhere
from
250
dollars
and
to
50
and
they're
going
to
bring
that
down
to
10,
also
so
they're
reducing
the
burden
to
the
citizens.
Wanting
to
hold
these
events
with.
That
being
said,
I
renew
my
motion.
D
All
right,
the
the
sponsor
has
renewed
his
motion.
B
B
A
B
A
I
You,
mr
chairman,
in
2019
this
general
assembly
allowed
for
higher
education
to
create
a
sports
authority
facility.
Therefore,
that
way
they
could
sell
alcoholic
beverages
on
the
premises
and
one
of
the
things
that
they
left
out
when
they
just
classified
facilities
there
or
or
higher
education.
They
left
out
the
word
private.
So
all
we
want
to
do
is
add
the
word
or
private
into
the
definition
to
make
state
supported.
Schools,
legal
and
also
private
institutions
be
able
to
have
this
sports
authority
facility
that
they
may
be
able
to
serve
alcohol
too,
and
it's
permissive.
I
It
does
not
make
mean
you
have
to
have
one.
It
just
allows
you
to
have
one
if
you're
a
private
institution
of
higher
education,
and
with
that
I
renew
my
motion.
D
You,
mr
chairman,
to
the
sponsor,
is:
would
this
mean
for
like,
for
example,
here
in
nashville
that
vanderbilt
you
could
now
have
a
drink
during
one
of
their
football
games?
Yes,
sir,
and
the
way
their
athletics
is
going,
they
need.
We
need
a
drink.
That's
exactly
right!
Thank
you
very
much.
No.
I
A
N
Thank
you.
Mr
chairman.
N
What
what
is
happening
is
in
in
tennessee,
grocery
stores
can
now
sell,
groceries
and
have
them
delivered
to
their
customers.
They
can
also
deliver
wine
and
beer,
and
they
are
also
allowed
to
to
use
a
third
party,
a
delivery
service
deliver
the
groceries
or
the
wine
and
beer.
What
we're
trying
to
do
today
is
say
that
the
grocery
stores
will
have
the
authority
to
deliver
their
food
and
also
the
wine
and
beer
they're
able
to
do
it.
N
Now,
with
a
third
party,
we're
just
saying
bring
it
in
house
and
let
them
do
it
and
and
what
I'd
like
to
do
today,
mr
chairman,
is
I
have
rob
eichard
with
the
grocery
association,
I'd
like
to
ask,
come
up
and
say
a
few
words
and
then
what
we
plan
to
do
is
to
roll
this
bill
and
give
give
us
time
to
work
on
it.
A
N
A
A
L
Sir
rob
eiker
tennessee
grocers
and
convenience
store
association
and,
as
speaker
march
said,
this
is
a
clarification
that
addresses
a
a
vagary
in
the
alcohol
law
that
does
clarify
that
that
a
wine
and
retail
food
stores
license
holder
can
also
hold
or
have
steak
in
a
company
that
holds
a
delivery
service
license.
L
You
know
wine
and
retail
food
stores
passed
in
2014.
in
2015.
They
came
along
and
developed
this.
This
delivery
service
license
which
specified
that
third
party
companies
could
deliver
wine
and
wine
from
grocery
stores.
L
Grocery
stores
have
have
partnered
with
these
30
third-party
companies
and
it's
become
expensive
to
continue
to
do
so,
and
so
grocery
stores
are
developing
a
desire
to
go
into
the
delivery
service
business
themselves
and
deliver
their
groceries
themselves.
This
is
not
just
you
know
about
wine
with
the
the
business
model
they're
contemplating,
but
wine
is
a
is
a
grocery
is
an
item
that
they
sell
and
they
want
to
be
able
to
deliver
wine
as
well.
So
this
is
simply
just
a
clarification
that
they
can
hold
both
licenses.
L
This
is
this
is
true
for
big
chain
grocery
stores
and
for
mom
and
pop
grocery
stores
in
tennessee
that
are
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
get
delivery
to
their
their
customers.
Delivery
was
not
a
thing
really
when,
when
wine
and
retail
food
stores
pass
and
and
it's
a
big
thing
now
and
we're
just
trying
to
clarify
and
keep
up
with
with
the
development
in
in
commerce,
some
have
called
this
an
amazon
bill.
L
I
don't
represent
amazon
and
there
are
lots
of
grocery
companies
that
are
interested
in
getting
their
their
wine
product
along
with
grocery
to
everybody
else.
This
does
not
expand
access
to
alcohol
in
any
way.
If
you
look
at
the
fiscal
note,
it
confirms
that
wine
from
grocery
stores
is
currently
being
delivered.
L
This
is
being
delivered
by
a
third
party
and
we
would
like
our
members
to
be
able
to
have
a
company
that
delivers
wine
as
well,
and
the
the
language
on
the
amendment
was
developed
in
consultation
with
the
tabc
to
make
sure
that
we
have
it
tied
down.
Just
just
perfectly
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
all
have.
A
L
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
certainly
have
been
a
lot
of
discussion
about
this
bill.
One
something
that
I
didn't
ask
earlier
are:
if
I'm
abc
grocery
store
and
just
want
to
deliver
wine
and
beer,
don't
don't
have
a
separate
delivery
company.
Can
I
do
that.
F
L
A
N
A
N
A
I
You
very
much
yes,
sir.
This
bill,
currently
the
threshold
for
towns
to
be
able
to
put
liquor
by
the
drink
referendums
on
their
ballot
that
population
threshold
is
set
at
925.
I
This
just
lowers
that
threshold
to
700,
giving
giving
more
towns
ultimately
kind
of
control
over
their
own
destiny,
and
so
they
can
decide
whether
or
not
they
want
to
put
that
on
the
ballot
a
lot
of
times.
You
have
have
towns
that
have
small
daily
populations,
but
they
may
have
a
lot
of
tourism
that
flows
through
their
town
and
they
have
a
lot
of
restaurants,
but
currently
they're
not
able
to
have
this
type
of
vote,
but
I
will
yield
for
any
questions.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
P
So
so
what
this
does
is
allow
for
an
entertainment
district
in
clarksville
kind
of,
like
you
see
in
in
some
other
cities
in
in
memphis
and
knoxville
and
chattanooga,
so
we'll
just
be
able
to
block
off
an
area
and
allow
for
open
liquor
in
that
area
during
certain
hours
of
the
of
the
week,
and
with
that
I'll
be
glad
to
answer
any
questions.
A
P
A
A
A
O
It's
simply
simplifying
the
enforcement
of
the
alcohol
laws
regarding
the
eateries
at
this
food
hall
allowing
the
the
the
food
the
eateries
to
operate
under
one
license,
which
would
simplify
inventory
control,
control,
storage
and
the
delivery
of
the
alcohol
would
allow
the
the
the
people
there
to
freely
move
about
the
different
venues
and
we've
discussed
this
with
the
abc
extensively
and
they're
they're
on
board.
O
It's
a
it's
a
one,
large
area
where
you've
got
multiple
places
that
you
can
eat
fifth
and
broad
right
here.
If
you,
if
you've
driven
downtown
you've,
seen
it
some
of
the
restaurants
that
are
in
there
princess
hot
chicken
the
pharmacy,
it's
going
to
be
a
great
spot
multiplicity!
Yes,
that's
exactly
right!.
A
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
just
a
kind
of
a
curiosity
question
the
the
movement
of
from
patrons
from
businesses
to
businesses
within
the
food
court.
I
can
understand
that,
what's
going
to
prevent
that
spilling
out
on
every
public
street,
though
I
mean
what
are
the
provisions
so
keep
the
keep
that
in
line.
O
O
I
would
assume
the
same
same
provisions
that
would
operate
any
other
business
to
keep
them
from
leaving
likely
signs
any
restaurant.
You
go
into
downtown
right
now.
They
let
you
know
so.
This
wouldn't
change
that
that
law.
F
O
If
you
think
of
the
the
perimeter
of
the
establishment
is
just
expanding
out
a
touch,
it's
the
same
same
exact
concept.
The
only
difference
is
you're
gonna
have
multiple
options
to
to
eat.
You
still
have
ingress
egress
they'll
still
be
responsible
for,
for
you
know,
making
sure
that
they
follow
the
rules
of
of
the
city
of
nashville.
M
You,
mr
chairman,
I
just
had
a
question.
I
know
how
we
had
this
down
on
cumberland
and
knox
county
with
the
restaurants
serving
alcohol
and
they
always
had
to
put
a
wrought
iron
kind
of
type,
fencing
or
barricades
or
whatever,
because
it
was
out
there
on
the
street.
So
just
what
is
going
to
be
like
for
where
this
is
going
to
be
at.
O
It's
it's
an
indoor
facility,
okay,
so
there
we,
you
know
we're
not
changing
the
water.
M
D
Thanks
so
much
sponsor,
this
sounds
like
it'll,
be
a
great.
D
Wanted
to
also
let
you
know
on,
we
had
done
this
something
similar
to
this
before
on
hunter's
station
which,
but
we
use
the
urban
park
designation
by
the
abc.
So
I
was
wondering:
do
you
have
any
idea
why
you
needed
to
come
up
with
a
new
designation
and
couldn't
use
the
urban
park
designation.
O
D
A
You
can
go
from
vanderbilt
down
to
the
hall,
our
representative
back.
A
We're
voting
on
amendment
four
four,
five,
seven,
those
in
favor
say
aye
opposed
amendment
goes
on
the
bill
or
the
bill's
property.
Before
us
now,
question
has
been
called
on:
hb
674,
those
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed
you're
moving
to
full
representative
freeman.
Thank
you,
committee
chairman,
and
I
did
see.
A
O
Thank
you
house,
bill.
669
is
a
clarification
bill
bought
brought
to
me
by
the
tennessee
distillers
guild.
Currently,
there
is
nothing
in
the
tca
stating
that
the
percentage
for
when
a
minority
ownership
in
a
distiller
has
to
disclose
that
ownership,
which
is
an
annual
requirement
for
license
renewal.
The
distillers
guild
and
the
tn
tennessee
alcohol
beverage
commission
work
together
on
this
legislation
to
make
it
clear
that
anyone
who
owns
more
than
10
percent
direct
or
incorrect
must
still
provide
the
regular
disclosures.
O
A
A
B
Creates
a
population
exemption
for
a
small
town
in
my
district
to
have
a
referendum
for
them
to
be
able
to
sell
alcohol.
A
Bill
passes
on
to
full.
Thank
you,
chairman
and
committee
members,.
A
B
Thank
you,
chairman
and
committee.
I
appreciate
you
listening
to
this
bill.
This
is
from
a
bill
that
was
from
my
hometown,
historical
jonesboro
tennessee,
and
the
bill
authorizes.
The
sale
of
alcoholic
beverages
on
on-premises
consumption
at
five
locations
in
jonesboro,
the
historical
jackson,
theater,
the
jonesboro
repertory
theater,
the
international
storytelling
center,
the
mckinney
center
and
the
jonesboro
visitor
center.
A
Those
in
favor
say
opposed
bill
moves
on
forward.
Thank
you.
A
D
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
have
a
amendment.
A
D
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
and
committee.
This
is
a
amendment
and
a
bill
concerning
the
mother
church
of
country
music,
the
beautiful
ryman
auditorium
jewel
of
downtown
nashville,
when,
when
there
was
a
renovation
done,
the
ryman
is
under
the
historic
performing
arts
center
designation
by
the
abc
there's
a
conflict
right
now,
as
there's
after
the
renovation.
D
The
cafe
lula's
cafe
was
was
added
and
it's
open
even
when
there's
not
a
performance
going
on.
So
in
order
for
them
to
continue
to
sell
adult
beverages,
we
need
to
change
the
designation
and
also
allow
them
there's
a
