Description
House State Committee- April 20, 2021
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
B
A
A
A
and
it
was
the
first
two
days
the
first
recorded
performance
of
william
shakespeare's
macbeth
that
took
place
in
the
globe
theater
in
london.
The
story
of
an
honorable
man,
just
like
chairman
zachary
back
there,
an
honorable
man
being
corrupted
by
power,
is
one
of
shakespeare's
most
famous
works,
not
that
we
are
implying
chairman
that
you,
you
could
be
corrupted,
of
course,
not
also
this,
let's
move
on
to
1912.
A
and
finally,
sir
former
beatles
sir
paul
mccartney
in
1974,
the
band
his
band
wings
released
their
famous
single
band
on
the
run,
a
song
which
would
go
platinum
in
the
u.s
and
the
album
for
which
went
on
to
go
platinum.
Three
times,
wow
big
deal
we're
going
to
let's
see
now,
mr
analyst,
do
we
have
any
announcements?
We
want
to
go
over
the
calendar,
real,
quick
and
for
you
committee
members.
We
want
to
make
note
of
a
couple
of
things
here.
A
A
B
You,
mr
chairman
house,
bill
65654,
was
brought
to
us
by
the
comptroller,
and
this
bill
will
give
more
flexibility
to
the
comptroller's
division
of
investigation
and
simplify
the
service
process.
It
allows
copies
of
this
opinion
to
be
sent
by
a
certified
mail
with
return
receipt
instead
of
hand
delivering
with
current
law.
B
You,
mr
chairman,
I
just
had
one
question,
usually
hand:
delivery,
subpoena
results,
if
you
ignore
it
and
failure
to
appear
is,
is
that
does
that
carry
on
with
a
a
mailed
subpoena
or
are
we
just
talking
about?
Subpoena
paperwork
represent
darby.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
This
was
just
a
copy
of
the
subpoena.
The
original
the
subpoena
goes
to
the
banking
to
the
bank,
and
this
is
a
copy
of
this
opinion
for
the
whoever
is
being
investigated.
B
B
A

It
is
now
chairman,
it
is
on
the
bill
and
we're
going
to
give
you
an
opportunity
to
explain.
Sir.
G
B
G
G
One
of
those
statutes,
in
particular,
was
tca
582-107,
which
deals
with
the
executive
powers
during
a
state
emergency,
and
so
members
in
both
bodies
went
to
the
speaker,
speaker,
manali
and
sexton,
asking
them
to
form
an
ad
hoc
committee
over
the
summer
to
simply
study
the
executive
powers
bill,
the
executive
powers,
tca
58207,
the
executive
power
section
within
tca,
and
so
I
appreciate
speaker,
sexton
and
mcnally
responding
to
the
members
in
the
way
they
did.
I
was
honored
to
co-chair
that
committee
with
senator
hale
and
we
had
expert
testimony
from
across
the
country.
G
Everyone
from
former
chief
justice
koch
here
in
tennessee
to
general
gonzalez
that
worked
for
president
bush
to
glenn
reynolds
from
ut
to
our
own
general
slatery.
On
down
the
list.
We
met
three
or
four
times
to
discuss
and
evaluate
this
particular
section
of
code,
and
what
we
found
is
that
we
were
one
of
12
states
that
has
no
legislative
engagement
related
to
a
state
of
emergency
and
executive
powers
were
one
of
12
at
the
time
of
the
ad
hoc.
I
know
right
now
during
session.
G
Many
chambers
are
carrying
legislation
similar
to
this,
and
so
that
number
may
have
changed.
But
when
we
began
evaluating,
we
were
one
of
12
that
had
no
legislative
engagement
related
to
executive
powers
during
a
state
of
emergency,
and
let
me
just
quickly
read
the
charge
of
our
committee
and
then
I'll
get
into
the
explanation
of
the
bill.
G
The
charge
of
our
committee
from
speaker,
sexton
and
mcnally
were
to
study
the
current
authority
granted
to
the
executive
branch
of
government
with
regard
to
declaring
a
state
of
emergency
and
powers
granted
to
both
the
judicial
and
executive
branches
during
a
state
of
emergency
and
report.
Back
to
the
general
assembly,
and
so
what
I'm
about
to
present
to
you
is
a
piece
of
legislation
that
is
a
result
of
that
ad
hoc
committee,
the
house,
the
house
and
the
senate
had
had
different
approaches
to
this.
The
house
was
unanimous.
G
G
The
section
of
code
right
now,
tca
58207
is
as
broad
as
any
code
in
the
nation
related
to
the
powers
of
the
executive
during
a
state
of
emergency.
The
only
limitation
within
that
section
of
code
on
the
governor
is
that
he
can't
touch
our
guns.
That
is
the
only
limitation.
There
is
literally
no
limitation
to
what
a
governor
can
do
when
he
clears
a
state
of
emergency.
G
He
can
suspend
any
law,
suspend
any
regulation
and
at
his
discretion
he
can
renew
that
state
of
emergency
every
60
days,
and
so
it's
important
to
look
back
on
what
we
have
walked
through.
Many
of
us
were
on
some
of
those
first
calls
where,
back
in
march
of
last
year,
we
heard
250,
000
tennesseans
may
die,
hospitals
would
be
overrun.
We
heard
this.
We
were
on
some
calls.
I
believe
we
were
one
on
one
on
a
call
in
april
with
a
a
very
well
respected
institution,
where
there
was
actually
even
disagreement.
G
I
mean
that's
exactly
what
our
governor
did,
and
so,
when
you,
when
you
evaluate
how
broad
and
open
the
executive
power
legislation
is,
it
really
does
speak
to
the
incredible
job
our
governor
did
walking
us
and
leading
us
through
a
once-in-a-lifetime
pandemic,
because
again,
there's
no
limitations
to
what
he
could
have
done,
but
he
was
measured
and
steady.
We
were
one
of
the
last
states
to
have
any
kind
of
safer
at
home.
We
were
one
of
the
first
states
to
open
back
april
27th.
G
Certain
reporting
certain
boundaries
need
to
be
placed
around
that
particular
statute,
because
it's
wide
open,
I
mean
they're,
the
only
difference
in
us
not
looking
like
california
in
new
york
or
the
person
that
was
leading
our
state
and
so
we're
not
always
guaranteed
to
have
that
leadership.
So
with
all
that
being
said,
let
me
quickly
present
this
bill.
There's
seven
points
to
this
bill.
Let
me
quickly
present
this
bill,
mr
chairman,
and
I'll
be
glad
to
answer
any
questions.
G
First,
the
first
section
of
the
bill
is
related
to
the
public
health
emergency
itself
and
there's
some
definitions
within
there
and
we're
in
section
one
what
we
decided
as
a
committee
was,
we
are
going
to
we're
going
to
actually
leave
the
executive
powers
related
to
a
natural
disaster
and
a
security
threat.
Those
remain,
as
is,
there's
been
no
time
in
our
state's
history
that
we
could
find,
where
there's
been
any
kind
of
extension
of
a
state
of
emergency
and
the
use
of
executive
powers
related
to
a
natural
disaster
security
threat.
G
The
longest
state
of
emergency
we
could
find
related
to
a
natural
disaster
was
under
governor
bredesen
with
the
nashville
floods,
and
that
was
30
days.
That's
the
longest
one
we
could
find
in
our
research.
So
what
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
going
to
divide
and
we're
going
to
create
a
new
section
in
tca
58207
that
is
simply
related
to
public
health
emergencies
and
again
there's
a
broad
definition.
Bioterrorism
epidemic
pandemic
pandemic
disease.
That
is
within
section
one.
So
everything
that
I
describe
is
important
to
remember
this.
G
G
So
first,
the
important
first
thing
to
note
is
that
when
a
when
a
state
of
emergency
would
be
declared
for
a
public
health
emergency,
there
will
be
a
legislative
council
form.
This
is,
then,
what
we
did
is
we
we.
We
did
research
on
states
across
the
nation
and
kind
of
took
the
best
practices.
This
is
kind
of
following
iowa
and
wisconsin's
model.
So
what
we
did
it?
What
what
this
will
do
this
bill
first
section
is:
it
will
establish
a
legislative
council.
G
Second
thing:
this
does
it'll,
and
this
was
the
most
common
among
states
around
the
country.
When
we
are
in
session,
it
will
allow
us
to
terminate
a
state
of
emergency
at
any
time.
That
was
one
of
the
most
common
most
states
of
the
38
that
have
some
sort
of
legislative
engagement.
The
most
common
was
the
that
the
general
assembly
can
terminate
a
state
of
emergency
at
any
time.
G
The
third
point
is
that,
if
we
are
not
in
session,
if
we
are
not
in
session
at
the
30-day
mark,
the
legislative
council
is
optional.
The
legislative
council,
if
we're
not
in
session,
can
determine
that
the
state
of
emergency
has
gone
on
long
enough.
There's
a
five-day
evaluation
period.
They
work
with
the
executive
branch
for
five
days
and
at
the
end
of
that
five-day
mark,
they
can
choose
to
put
a
stay.
G
G
While
why
the
executive
order
is
being
issued
and
what
follow-up
guidance
will
be
behind
that
executive
order
and
then
the
last
thing,
the
last
reporting
requirement
would
be
for
the
department
of
health
they
will
have
to
bi-weekly
during
a
public
health
emergency.
During
a
state
of
emergency
related
public
health,
they
will
have
to
provide
bill
bi-weekly
reports
to
the
government,
ops
committee
that
will
include
the
same
information
provided
to
the
executive
branch.
So,
with
all
of
that
being
stated,
mr
chairman,
I
will
be
glad
to
answer
any
questions.
A
G
That's
correct,
yes,
sir
senator
hale,
and
I
talked
about
that
and
they
did
choose
to
send
that
to
summer
study
for
more
discussion.
I
have
talked
to
a
few
members
of
the
committee.
I've
talked
to
leadership
on
our
side
and
the
house's
posture
is
certainly
more
aggressive
than
our
than
our
friends
in
the
senate,
which
which
is
fine,
and
so
the
decisions
was
made
we'll
move
forward,
because
this
is
a
charge
for
us
and
our
committee,
and
then
the
house
was
unanimous
in
moving
forward
with
this.
G
B
You,
mr
chairman,
and
I
I
want
to
tell
you-
I
appreciate
so
much
the
ad
hoc
committee's
work
and
your
work
on
the
bill.
I've
for
the
past
12
months.
I've
I've
been
advocating.
We
we
should
never
put
the
governor
in
that
kind
of
position.
We
we
need
to
streamline
this
and
work.
So
everybody
knows
it's
been
my
contention
that
the
legislature
does
not
have
constitutional
authority
to
give
the
executive
branch
the
power
to
make
law.
B
G
Yes,
of
course,
yes,
chairman,
chairman
holzey,
brought
up
a
really
good
point.
It
is
important
to
remember
that
the
governor
is
operating
within
the
framework
that
we
established,
so
there
has
been.
There
has
been
so
much
confusion,
mr
chairman,
about
with
primarily
because
in
our
metro
areas
we
have
the
in
the
sick.
We
have
six
independent
health
departments
within
our
basically
our
six
largest
metro
areas
and
in
three
of
those
metro
areas.
G
The
response
has
looked
very
different
because
of
local
control
and
because
the
governor
deferred
to
the
local
health
departments,
health
boards
and
health
directors
in
those
communities.
So
because
of
that
it
has
created
so
much
confusion
around
our
state.
But
it's
important
to
remember
that
these
steps
we
are
taking
are
an
effort
to
eliminate
some
of
that
confusion.
Because
again
the
sandbox
the
governor
is
playing
in
is
the
sandbox
of
our
creation,
and
it
was
this.
The
last
update,
I
believe
the
last
update
of
this
statue
was
in
1985.
C
C
C
G
Chairman
that
is
correct.
The
the
presentation
I
gave
you
was
probably
15
minutes
shorter
than
what
I
presented
in
the
committee,
because
I
did
it
was
about
a
40-minute
presentation
walking
through
these
points.
We
presented
it
in
its
entirety
and
then
we
as
the
house,
voted
on
our
side
and
then
the
senate
voted
on
their
side
and
both
sides
voted
unanimously
in
support
of
the
recommendations
which
looked
different
in
both
chambers.
G
A
All
right,
hey
do
I
hear
a
question
then
called
I
did
and
do
and
I
see
no
objections.
Therefore,
we
are
ready
to
vote
on
house
bill
869
as
amended
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye.
Those
opposed
lock
sign
the
eyes.
Have
it
no
is
so.
Please
note
please
make
sure
that
the
clerk
gets
the
no
vote
all
right.
So
with
that,
will
you
chairman
zachary?
You
are
headed
to
finance
ways
and
means
thank.
A
Okay,
we
are
now
we
have.
We
now
go
back
to
item
number
two,
I'm
sorry
representative
freeman
that
might
have
been
before
you
arrived,
but
we
had
to
to
request
of
chairman
wendell.
We,
this
is
item
number
two
house
bill,
1165
and
representative
harris
you.
I
see
we
have
one
or
two
amendments
that
that
are
moving
along
with
this
just.
A
Six
two:
we
got
a
motion
and
a
second
on
the
bill.
We're
now
on
amendments,
that's
correct,
62.88
and
does
it
make
the
bill,
sir?
It
doesn't
matter
it
does.
He
says
it
does
so.
Therefore,
let's
go
ahead
and
get
the
amendment
on
the
bill.
Please
hear
a
motion
in
a
second
on
that
on
the
on
the
amendment
we
do
we
have
it.
Do
I
see
any
objections
to
the
calling
of
the
question
I've
seen
unless
vote
on
amendment
6288
there
for
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
those
opposed
like
sign.
H
I
recognize
her
thank
you
sherman
and
to
the
committee
most
of
my
previous
bills,
of
all
just
been
children
and
family
bills,
which
is
a
huge
focus
for
me.
So
this
one
being
my
last
bill
for
this
this
year
is
a
community
bill,
and
so
the
amendment
reframes
the
entire
bill
and
and
this
one
would
be
the
tennessee
african-american
historical
affairs
commission
bill.
There
are
almost
20
states
in
this
union
that
have
adopted
legislation
to
have
an
african-american
affairs
commission.
H
Some
of
the
leaders
in
that
work
are
washington,
state,
kansas
arizona,
pennsylvania,
nebraska,
new
mexico,
connecticut,
michigan,
maryland
massachusetts,
florida
alabama
and
there's
a
few
others
as
well.
The
commission
would
be
made
up
of
12
members
appointed
jointly
by
the
governor
by
the
house
speaker
and
the
senate
speaker
in
a
similar
structure,
as
as
any
of
the
other
state
commissions
like
the
historical
commission
as
well.
H
The
physical
note
on
this
one
actually
went
down
drastically
from
the
original
one,
because
the
original
bill
was
drafted
more
with
a
lot
of
language
from
the
historical
commission,
and
so
all
that
has
been
removed
and
taken
out
and
I've
worked
with
t
deck
and
a
few
others
on
making
sure
that
this
was
to
the
liking
of
historical
commission
as
well.
It
made
it
through
the
committee,
the
subcommittee,
and
so
with
that
chairman.
I
I
turn
it
back
over
to
you.
A
A
That
that
is
your
okay,
that
is
the
physical
note.
You
know
that's
right,
okay,
right
now,
of
course
we
have
the
tennessee
historical
commission.
So
how?
How
will
this
commission
will
there
be
any
coordination
between
between
the
two?
If
so,
would
you
please
give
me
give
us
an
explanation
on
how
this
is
going
to
work.
H
Mr
chairman,
so
there's
not
that
much
overlap
for
the
two
commissions,
one
one
of
the
overlapping
pieces
is
that
currently
the
historical
commission
has
comment
value
and
speaking
to
the
state
building
commission
when
it
comes
to
tearing
down
historical
places
or
what
not
are
buildings
that
are
related
to
african
americans.
So
they
usually
have
a
ability
to
say
hey.
We
think
this
is
a
good
idea
to
tear
this
building
down
or
no,
we
don't,
and
so
the
only
difference
is
that
they
both.
H
Would
the
african
americans
affairs
and
the
historical
commission
would
both
have
common
value
to
the
state
building
commission,
but
that's
the
only
overlap
in
this
language.
The
historical
commission
takes
care
of
mostly
the
buildings,
the
the
signage
taking
care
of
different
things,
but
for
the
african
americans
affairs
commission
is
going
to
be
more
about
bringing
money
into
the
state
for
organizations
for
businesses
and
for
the
hbcus.
A
H
A
H
So
there
will
be
just
very
small,
more
so
just
bringing
funding
in
not
managing
what
goes
on
with
the
museum.
The
museum
would
still
be
something
that
would
fall
under
historical
commission's
purview
of
things
to
be
oversight.
This,
this
commission
would
specifically
be
focused
on
bringing
in
additional
dollars
finding
resources
and
getting
the
information
out.
A
Okay,
I
I
am
you
know,
I
I'm
not
opposed
to
this
bill
nor
nor
this
you
know
nor
this
at
all.
I
I
I'm
just
concerned
about
setting
a
precedence
and,
of
course
I
you
know
exactly
you're
a
sharp
guy
and-
and
you
know
where
I'm
going,
will
the
chinese
be
next?
Will
the
japanese
be
next
with
the
afghanistan
mexicans?
You
know
that.
A
That's
that's
where
this
to
me
is
is
my
is
you
know,
is
my
concern
that
I
have
and
I'll
just
you
know,
I'm
just
gonna
voice
that
I'm
not
expecting
a
response
from
you,
but
I
mean
I'm
I'm
just
I'm
just
you
know
a
little
apprehensive.
You
know
about
this,
but
anyway
there
any
any
other.
Yes,
we
do
chairman
carr
you're
recognized,
sir.
Thank
you,
mr.
H
Yeah,
so
the
thank
you
for
the
question,
but
they
will
be
appointed
the
exact
same
way.
It
is
for
the
historical
commission,
where
the
governor
has
the
selection
of
of
three
members.
The
speaker
has
three
members:
the
senate
speaker
has
three
members
and
they'll
be
chosen
from
throughout
the
state,
from
the
grand
divisions
so
it'd
end
up
having
a
total
of
12
members
appointed.
B
H
So,
if
so,
based
off
of
the
the
language
and
the
bill,
everyone
would
get
technically
the
same
amount
of
years.
It
would
just
based
off
of
the
winner.
This
bill
actually
would
take
place
or
when
it
would
start
would
cause
for
the
overlap
in
the
at-large
subdivisions
and
that
that's
part
of
section
section,
one
section:
a.
C
B
A
B
A
C
E
C
A
C
H
Representing
paris,
so
yes,
there
are
quite
a
few
african-americans
on
the
tennessee
historical
commission.
However,
they
handle
the
preservation
of
historical
buildings
and
signage
and
array
of
other
things,
not
dealing
with
the
bringing
in
the
fun
funding
and
grants
and
money
to
small
businesses,
minority
organizations
and
and
fighting
for
the
hvcus.
That's
not
part
of
their
purview
as
a
historical
commission.
C
H
So
this
is
harris
your
record
yes,
so
this
commission
would
actually
just
advocate
and
be
working
to
apply
for
grants.
Find
funding,
bring
resources
in
as
far
as
financial
resources
into
small
businesses
and
organizations
being
able
to
help
them
get
through
the
process
of
of
say,
for
instance,
the
small
business
sba,
loans
or
whatnot
trying
to
get
them
started.
So
they
they
really
focus
in
on
just
making
sure
that
we
have
the
resources
provided
to
african-american
communities.
C
H
H
Yes,
absolutely
we
completely
advocate
for
it.
Actually,
we
are
currently
dealing
with
a
situation
right
now
for
with
tsu
when
it
came
to
land
grants.
So
those
are
things
that
they
didn't
have
someone
specific
in
our
and
the
government
to
advocate
for
them,
and
a
committee
had
to
be
created
in
order
to
be
able
to
do
the
research
for
that,
so
this
instead
would
be
able
to
have
someone
who
is
also
doing
that
work
doing
the
legwork
that
we
don't
necessarily
have
the
opportunity
to
do
on
our
side
representative.
A
C
Right
now,
just
to
answer
chair
lady
littleton's
question
for
everyone
and
the
language
is
a
little
dense
in
the
appointment
sections
of
the
bill,
each
of
them
appoint
one
member
from
the
three
grand
divisions.
In
addition
to
that,
it's
a
they
have
an
at-large
member,
so
they're
actually
appointing
four
members
each
and
the
the
terms
are
staggered,
one,
two
three
and
four
for
those
four
different
appointees
and
then,
after
those
terms
expire,
the
actual
full
terms
of
the
members
are
five
years,
not
four.
Okay,.
C
Thank
you,
chairman
representative.
I
just
want
to
make
clear
that
the
tennessee
african-american
historical
commission
has
a
totally
separate
mission
than
the
tennessee
historical
commission.
Is
that
correct?
That's
correct,
yes,
and
that
congress
has
appropriated
funds
to
be
drawn
down
to
go
specifically
to
the
african-american
historical
commission.
H
Representing
parish,
I
wouldn't
be
able
to
answer
that
one
directly,
because
I
don't
know
if
those
if
they
could
get
some
fundings
for
to
help
with
some
of
the
buildings,
maybe
or
for
landmarkers.
But
this
bill
is
specifically
to
help
with
hbcus
drive
driving
to
the
businesses
and
the
economy.
So,
though,
the
large
bulk
of
the
money
that
would
be
passed
down
would
be
to
help
drive
money
into
the
businesses.
C
I
understand
and
the
last
comment
I
think
I
would
make
would
be
to
to
say
the
suggestion
that
there's
been
a
pandora's
box
would
be
open
here.
I,
unlike
unlike
the
the
japanese
or
the
chinese,
the
germans
or
any
other.
You
want
to
talk
about
the
african-american
experience
has
been
here
for
400
years,
and
I
think
that
this
is
probably
a
very
appropriate
commission
to
put
together
because
there's
so
much
that
could
be
found
in
our
state.
I
think
that
could
promote
this.
C
B
And
thank
you
sponsor.
I'm
reading
the
the
expenditure
part
of
the
funds
that
I'm
assuming
would
come
from
the
federal
government
it
it
says
that
it
can
be
used
to
purchase
property,
that's
not
owned
or
operated
by
the
state
and
the
acquisition
of
easements
to
protect
historic
areas.
I'm
just
curious
about
that
wording.
B
H
H
For
example,
in
memphis
we
have
one
where
there's
an
an
area
that
is
used
for,
like
the
boys
and
girls
club
space
that
provide
services
to
the
college
campus,
and
so
that
would
allow
them
to
be
able
to
purchase
that
that
property
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
is
part
of
the
college.
Campus
experience
as
well.
B
First,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
bringing
this
bill.
I
thank
you
for
the
spirit
of
the
bill,
as
african
americans
are
one
of
the
largest
minorities
in
this
state
and
one
of
the
longest
standing
in
this
state
we
do
want
to.
We
do
want
to
arm
to
highlight
some
of
the
great
things
that
have
been
done
throughout
history
in
this
particular
state,
especially
because
in
the
state
of
tennessee
african-american
history
is
tennessee.
History,
also,
some
of
the
other
things
that
this
bill
does
as
far
as
supplying
supports.
B
I
think
those
would
be
helpful
to
the
african-american
community,
which
would
also
be
helpful
to
all
tennesseans,
because,
with
some
of
these
supports,
there'll
be
again
there'll
be
supports
to
help
those
who
are
who
need
to
catch
up
a
little
bit
as
far
as
economics
as
far
as
community-based,
I
think
there's
a
lot
a
lot
of
good
in
this
bill
and
I
support
your
bill
and
I
encourage
others
to
do
the
same.
Thank
you.
A
Well,
we
got
a
question
now
called
on
the
bill.
Any
is
there
any
objections
to
this
any
objections
to
the
calling
of
the
question.
I
see
now
we're
ready
to
vote
so
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye.
Those
opposed
lock
sign,
no
we're
going
to
go
out
of
session
and
we
miss
miss
clerk,
we're
looking
to
you
for
or
we're
not
out
of
session.
We're
not
well,
of
course,
we're
not
out
of
session
we're
not
going
to
call
ourselves
out
of
session.
A
C
B
B
B
B
A
A
A
All
right,
we
are
next,
oh
boy:
where
are
we
now?
Let's
see
number
eight
yeah,
mr
mr
whit
tells
me
we
are
on
item
number
eight.
That's
right!
I
forgot
about
you
bob
you
we
had
to
put
you
aside,
welcome
didn't
we
representative
freeman
is
up
and
he
is
bringing
to
us
house
bill
668
and
you
we.
We
need
a
motion
here
in
a
second
and
we
okay,
representative
freeman.
How
about
we
got
an
amendment
still
on
this
one.
Is
that
correct?
A
C
A
A
C
C
Currently,
the
only
way
for
a
product
to
be
available
at
a
retailer
is
for
the
wholesaler
to
deliver
the
product
directly
with
a
zero
dollar
invoice.
When
the
manufacturer
representative
wishes
to
be
present
at
such
consumer
tastings,
they
have
to
wait
until
the
wholesaler
delivers
a
product.
This
can
add
time,
travel
and
potential
delays
for
the
retailer.
A
B
A
Okay,
further
questions
to
the
sponsor
we've
got
a
question
called
on
the
bill,
see
any
objections.
I
see
none,
those
in
favor
of
house
bill
668
as
amended.
Please
say:
aye
those
opposed
like
saying
the
eyes
have
it
and
you
represented
freeman.
Who
are
you
going
here?
How
yeah
calendar
and
rule
sir
congratulations.
A
Thank
you,
sir,
on
to
item
number
nine
committee,
that's
house
bill
846,
and
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
and
again
yes,
that's
house,
bill
846
by
representative
sheryl
and
representative
shirl.
We've
got
a
motion
in
a
second
and
you've
got
to
be
or
excuse
me
momentum
on
this
one.
Could
you
give
us
that
tracking
code,
sir.
E
E
A
A
E
Thank
you,
chairman
members,
this
bill
here.
Of
course,
it's
house
bill
0846
with
the
amendment
we
just
spoke
about
it,
to
help
our
teachers
in
our
prison
system,
especially
at
work
with
department
of
corrections,
and
they
have
a
difficult
job.
These
teachers
do
they.
They
are
essentially
teaching
in
a
reformed
school
every
day,
12
months
out
of
the
year
right
now,
teachers
in
our
correctional
system
are
paid
based
on
the
geographical
location
in
which
the
prison
sets.
E
The
amendment
does
one
key
thing:
it
pulls
all
correctional
teachers
pay
grades
up
to
the
same
level
as
those
in
the
highest
paid
counties
such
as
shelby,
county
or
davidson
county,
and
that's
pretty
much
what
the
bill
does
so
we're
just
trying
to
help
out
them.
Teachers
in
our
corrections
facility.
A
That
well
well
well
said
representative
sheryl,
and
I
know
it
was
this.
Past
summer
I
had
an
opportunity
to
visit
thanks
to
deputy
commissioner
grimes
back
there.
He
arranged
a
tour
of
the
morgan
correctional
facility
and
I
got
to
meet
those
educators
and
they
do
they
do
a
good
job.
It's
good,
this
good
legislation,
any
questions
to
the
sponsor.
Yes,
we
do
yes,
representative
cooper,
you're
recognized.
Thank.
A
B
C
I
can
answer
my
friend's
question
and
represent.
Tell
me
if
I'm
wrong.
This
address
is
an
issue
if
you're
a
teacher
in
morgan,
county
or
in
bledsoe
away
from
a
metropolitan
area,
because
you're
paid
on
a
five
county
average
of
the
counties
that
surround
you
as
opposed
to
a
statewide
pay
rate,
and
this
simply
corrects
an
inequity
for
the
people
that
work
from
scott
county
or
from
morgan
county
managers
can
that
drive
into
morgan,
county
or
bledsoe
every
day.
C
C
Let's
say
if
you're
one
of
the
state
special
schools,
you're
a
teacher
and
you
work
in
pinterest
county
you're
paid
an
average
of
the
five
surrounding
counties,
as
opposed
to
the
teacher
pay
rate
that
somebody
receives
in
davidson
county,
which
is
unfair
to
those
of
us
who
live
outside
of
a
metropolitan
area
and
paul's
tried
to
correct
that
for
the
teachers
who
work
in
these
institutions.
If
that's
incorrect
straighten
me
out,
but
no.
A
A
C
E
A
D
Mr
chairman
committee,
tory
grimes
senior
council
legislative
liaison
for
the
department
of
corrections
and
when
representative
cheryl
and
senate
sponsor
reached
out
to
us
about
this
idea,
we
suggested
that
probably
the
best
place
in
code
was
the
section
of
code
in
which
the
department
of
corrections,
educational
initiatives,
essentially,
though
high
school,
equivalency,
programming
and
education.
We
do
that
section
of
code.
It
is
specific
to
the
department
of
correction
and,
if
you
don't
know,
the
department
of
correction
is
a
special
school
district
by
statute.
D
A
E
D
D
This
population
is
broad,
so
it
would
affect
the
teachers
delivering
the
essentially
the
high
school
equivalency
type
programming.
Essentially.
Well,
I
don't
want
to
say
k-12
9-12,
you
know
we're
teaching
to
the
high
school
equivalency
test.
Essentially,
so
these
are
the
teachers
at
issue
in
chairman
cheryl's
bill.
D
E
D
D
Mr
grabs
well
in
the
the
budgetary
numbers
that
were
submitted
with
a
fiscal
note.
It
it
in
the
way
the
bill
is
written.
It
moves
the
scale
to
the
highest
counties,
I
think
davidson
or
shelby
were
the
highest
counties.
So
in
the
presumed
fiscal
note
it
includes
a
bump
so
that
that
person
at
riverbend
or
at
or
in
shelby
county
would
not
be
flat.
So
they
would
get
an
increase,
but
it
would
pull
up
all
the
surrounding
counties
as
well.
D
E
A
B
D
A
C
D
Typically,
the
correctional
teacher
turnover
is
not
exorbitantly
high.
Obviously
we
we
always.
We
think
anybody
willing
looking
to
pay
any
of
our
staff
members
that
we
think
are
doing
a
good
job
and,
quite
frankly,
worked
in
person
throughout
this
pandemic,
but
we're
obviously
in
support
of
that
you
know
with
32
vacancies.
You
know,
I
don't
know
the
the
actual
facility
breakdown
of
those
vacancies,
but
what
you
find
is
some
facilities
tend
to
have
a
higher
vacancy
because
just
they're
in
far-flung
locales
of
the
state.
D
A
A
E
E
E
We
as
and
I'm
talking
about
we
we
have
failed
to
take
care
of
these
people
that
work
in
our
prisons.
For
us,
it's
very
important
that
we
and
I'm
talking
about
every
one
of
us.
We
need
to
take
a
very
good
look
at
what
we're
not
doing
for
these
people
that
work
in
our
in
our
prisons.
We
need
to
be
taking
care
of
them
because
you
know
I
was
a
police
officer
one
day
back
in
the
day
and
we
arrested
these
people
and
we
took
them
to
jail
and
we
got
rid
of
them.
E
We
take
care
of
our
law
enforcement
and
we
want
to
take
care
of
our
law
enforcement,
but
we
need
to
think
about
taking
care
of
these
people.
That's
behind
the
bars,
that's
doing
the
work
to
get
take
care
of
these
people
has
committed
this
crime,
so
we
I'm
I'm
pushing
very
hardly.
We
need
to
take
care
of
the
teachers,
but
we
need
to
take
care
of
our
security
guards
too.
B
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
rep
sam
cooper
to
you,
chairman,
no,
okay,
I'm
sorry
all
right!
Yeah.
We
got
a
question
called
on
the
buildings.
Any
objection
is
calling
with
question.
I
see
none
so
therefore,
let
us
vote
for
house
bill
846
as
amended
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye,
those
opposed
locks
on
the
eyes.
Have
it
and
you
you,
sir
representative,
finance
ways
and
means.
Sir.
A
A
And
does
that
does
that
amendment
make
the
bill
it
does?
He
says
it
does
drafting
code?
Please,
sir.
Six,
two
three
two.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
on
the
bill,
also
a
motion
and
a
second
on
drafting
code.
62
32..
Let's,
let's
get
that
adopted.
Therefore,
equal
objections
to
the
question
calling
we
do
not.
Let's
vote
on
drafting
code
6232,
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye.
Those
opposed
sign
that
amendment
is
now
on
your
bill.
Representative
gillespie.
You
are
recognized.
Thank.
C
You,
mr
chairman
and
committee,
what
this
does
under
present
law,
the
board
of
directors,
the
tennessee
education
lottery
corporation,
enforce
and
supervise
compliance
with
laws
and
rules
regarding
the
regulation
and
control
of
wagering
on
sports
events
in
the
state
under
president
law.
The
lottery
corporation
sports
wagering
advisory
council
serves
only
as
an
advisory
capacity
to
the
lottery
corporation.
C
Thank
you
for
the
explanation
and-
and
I
appreciate
what
you're
trying
to
do
here
so
so
essentially
this
this
council,
the
sports
wagering
council,
is
gonna,
be
the
one
that
has
the
full
oversight
and
taking
that
away,
I
mean
it'll
still
be
under
it,
but
the
lottery
will
will
not.
The
board
will
not
have
the
say
so
for
those
actions,
disciplinary
actions
and
representative.
C
I
appreciate
this
and
and-
and
you
know,
will
support
the
bill.
I
just
want
to
be
on
record.
I
I
think
that
we
need
to
take
a
serious
look
at
making
sure
we
have
that
wagering
sports
wagering
council
is
a
separate,
distinct
tendency
in
the
of
itself,
because
I
think
that
a
lottery
is
much
different
from
sports
wagering
and,
as
we
have
seen,
the
success
of
sports
wagering,
there's
so
much
more
sophistication
that
goes
along
with
it.
Our
lottery
does
a
great
job.
C
We
bring
a
lot
of
money
to
the
state,
but
a
lottery
is
in
many
ways
much
more
simplistic
than
a
sports
wagering
operation.
There's
a
lot
involved
in
that,
and
so
I
hope
we
can
continue
to
look
at
that.
I
think
this
is
a
good
first
step,
but
I'd
like
to
see
us
go
further.
I
support
your
bill,
but
you
want
to
be
on
record
for
saying
that.
Thank
you
sure.
A
Thank
you,
representative
powell.
Further
questions
to
the
sponsor.
We
got
a
question
called
on
the
bill
and
I
see
no
objections
to
the
calling
of
that
question.
Therefore,
let
us
vote
for
a
house
bill.
We
are
going
to
vote
for
house
bill
1267
as
amended
those
in
favor.
Please
say
aye,
I'm
supposed
to
like
sign
the
eyes.
Have
it
and
thank
you
so
much
all
right.
That's
where
you're
headed
representative
gillespie
and
next
yeah
we're
on
we're
going
to
skip
11
11
went
to
22..
A
B
Thank
you,
you're
recognized.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
members.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
present
this
bill.
Mr
chairman
members,
back
in
2009,
the
state
commission
commissioner's
disparity
study
on
contracting
with
minorities
in
this
state
and
with
the
with
those
with
that
commission,
there
were
proposed
legislation.
B
There
was
funding
set
aside
in
the
treasury
to
continue
a
study
with
higher
ed,
and
some
of
that
stuff
was
never
done.
What
this
legislation
would
do
is
create
a
study
by
tasser
to
look
at
the
issuance
of
contracts
with
businesses
owned
by
african
americans
in
this
state.
I've
already
talked
with
tasser,
based
on
my
conversation
with
these
speaker
pro
tem
last
week,
they're
comfortable
with
it.
They
appreciate
the
date.
A
Thank
you,
leader,
you've
heard
an
explanation
got
a
well
well
right.
We've
got
a
motion
and
a
second.
We
did
didn't
we,
and
now
we
have
the
question.
I
see
no
objections
to
the
calling
of
that
question.
Let
us
vote
on
house
bill
1593,
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye.
Those
opposed
like
sign
the
eyes,
have
it
and
leader
you're,
headed
to
finance
ways
and
means.
Thank.
A
Thank
you.
We
are
now
back.
Finally,
final
one,
I
think,
aren't
we
and
we're
back
to
that
was
item
number
six
on
your
calendar
committee
and
the
honorable
representative
towns
is
with
us
today
with
house
bill,
1492
representative
towns,
you,
sir,
we
got
a
motion
and
a
second,
but
you
also
representative
towns
get
out
your
iphone.
F
A
A
F
Explanation,
let
me
say
this
as
well
from
the
last
meeting
here
talking
with
the
members
here
about
the
bill.
This
amendment
came
from
the
conversation
exchanged
back
and
forth,
which
I
think
actually
greatly
improved
the
bill,
and
I
want
to
take
my
head
off
and
thank
you
all
for
the
input
and
we
took
as
much
as
we
could
from
the
conversation
and
put
it
into
the
amendment.
So
hopefully
I
I
captured
everything
that
was
discussed
and
for
the
explanation.
F
For
the
purpose
of
this
section,
a
person
is
not
deemed
to
have
moral
character,
good
moral
character.
If
the
person
has
been
a
member
of
a
gang,
a
terrorist
organization
as
determined
by
the
employment
agency,
it
is
not
the
intent
of
this
subdivision
to
interfere
with
the
exercise
of
rights
protected
by
the
constitution
of
the
united
states.
F
Further,
this
subdivision
does
not
authorize
the
employing
agency
to
consider
a
person's
religious
affiliation,
because
this
came
up
about
some
of
us,
our
religious
affiliation.
We
don't
want
that
held
against
us
and
I'm
number
one,
because
I'm
a
christian
as
many
in
here
may
be
okay.
To
put
let's
see,
this
subdivision
does
not
authorize
any
implementation
to
consider
a
person's
religious
affiliation
or
incident
that
occurred
when
a
person
was
a
minor
to
evaluate
the
person's
moral
character.
F
Okay,
membership
in
a
gang
terrorist
organization,
that's
determined
by
an
employee
agency's
sufficient
grounds
for
termination
of
a
law
enforcement
officer
by
the
officers
employing
agents
for
lack
of
good
moral
character.
It
is
not
the
intent
of
this
section
to
interfere
with
the
exercise
of
rights
protected
here
again
by
the
united
states
constitution.
F
F
In
determining
whether
to
terminate
a
law
enforcement
officer's
employment
under
this
section,
a
person
who
reports
to
an
employment
employing
agency
that
a
law
enforcement
officer
is
a
member
or
a
gang
or
affiliated
with
a
terrorist
organization,
and
the
person
knows
the
report
to
be
false-
will
be
considered
as
committed
a
classy
misdemeanor
punishable
by
a
fine.
We
don't
want
people
lying
on
people
that
are
part
of
an
organization
that
they
may
not
like
and
say
it's
a
you
know,
an
unacceptable
organization.
A
B
A
B
A
C
A
F
Yes,
sir,
it
would
be
any
law
enforcement
that
they
would
have
the
right
to
and
this
here
again
this
is
going
to
be
managed
by
law
enforcement,
but
they
will
have
the
right
if
they
do
an
investigation
that
determines
somebody
does
not
have
the
characters
that
they're
seeking
to
exercise
the
law.
So
yes,
sir.
C
A
F
And
you're
absolutely
right.
The
operative
word
is
that
they
know
you
have
two
scenarios.
Sometimes
things
slip
through
the
cracks,
but
the
other
thing
is
that
you
have
people
that
go
into
it
and
they
get
involved
in
these
organizations
after
the
fact
and
that's
what
we're
finding
it
happens
after
the
fact,
mostly
okay.
So
that's
that's
where
you
want
to
catch
him.
A
A
F
A
A
To
be
honest,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
all
very
much.
We
do
and
I'd
be
remiss
if
we
didn't
conclude
this
year
by
turning
our
attention
to
to
our
clerks,
the
folks
that
behind
the
scenes
are
in
front
of
the
scenes
they
they
have
done
just
a
a
marvelous
job,
quickly:
weston
davis,
josh,
matt,
mundy
and
josh.
Of
course,
our
attorneys
nathan,
whit
analyst
tara,
mikayla,
jordan
and
I
went
back
earlier
members
on
behalf
of
you
all.
A
I
h
I
said
thank
you
to
our
videographer.
I
believe
that's
the
way
you
pronounce
it,
but
anyway
our
audio
visual
person
back
there.
Thank
you
dear
appreciate
you
so
much,
but
with
that
any
any
any
further
remarks,
then
from
the
committee.
If
not
I'm
going
to
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn,
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
and
we
will.
The
house
state
government
committee
is
now
closed
and
is
subject
to
the
call
of
the
chair.
