He
hails
from
cookeville
downtown
cookeville,
so
we
he's
been
doing
a
fabulous
job
for
us
and
I'm
sure
he
will
continue
that
that
his
focus
as
he
continues
to
serve
on
this
committee
or
assisting
you
chairman.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
C
Which
is
the
county
officials
association
for
tennessee?
Apparently
we
have
a
problem,
not
just
here
in
tennessee
but
nationwide,
but
here
in
tennessee
we're
going
to
address
it.
Apparently
people
can
come
and
put
a
fraudulent
lien
against
your
property,
your
home,
and
you
not
even
know
about
it,
and
if
the
time
goes
through,
you
doesn't
do
all
the
necessary
steps.
C
C
So
the
registers
association
has
decided
to
take
measures
to
to
work
on
this
and
to
fix
it,
and
they
have
come
up
with
a
program,
a
software
program,
that's
used
throughout
the
country
or
something
similar
to
it.
It's
called
the
property
alert
notification
and
you,
as
a
constituent
you,
as
a
citizen
of
the
state
tennessee,
can
register
your
information
with
the
properties,
associ,
the
registers
association,
and
if
this
happens,
someone
places
a
lien
upon
your
property
or
or
your
business
or
whatever.
Then
this
notification
will
make
you
aware
of
that.
C
What
we're
trying
to
do,
though,
is
we're
trying
to
protect
the
personal
information
that
you
have
to
use
your
social
security
number,
your
name
phone
number
and
your
email
address
to
keep
the
fraudulent
people
out
there
from
being
able
to
receive
this.
Because
if
you
register
in
this
program,
then
it's
out
there
and
it
applies
to
the.
C
Let
me
see
make
sure
I
say
that
correctly,
the
not
the
opens
meetings
act,
but
apparently
the
request
of
information
act
open
records
so
anyway,
so
our
registers
association
is
taking
steps
and
pla
and
putting
this
in
place
throughout
statewide,
and
we
have
the
answer
to
it
by
changing
the
bill
here,
changing
the
law
that
will
protect
your
personal
information,
and
hopefully
we
can
keep
this
from
happening
to
anybody
else.
So
that's
what
my
bill
does.
It
doesn't
affect
any
dates,
changes
or
information
that
wise.
It
just
protects.
B
B
Got
it
well,
thank
you
very
much.
This
is
something
that
we
certainly
need
to
be.
You
know
I
hear
I
hear
on
I've
been
hearing
a
lot
of
this
ongoing.
You
know
a
lot
of
this
and
boy
this,
this
that's
scary,
stuff,
yeah,
I'm
glad
we're
we're
ahead
of
it
and
thank
you
for
your
thank
you
for
bringing
this.
A
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
madam
chair
house.
Bill
1052
is
a
housekeeping
bill.
When
speaker
sexton
got
elected
in
january,
he
made
some
committee
changes
and
this
just
puts
it
into
code.
We
changed
the
judiciary
committee
to
civil
justice
and
criminal
justice
and
education
committees
became
education,
administration
and
education
instruction.
E
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
hjr.
8
is
a
resolution
to
make
application
to
the
congress
of
the
united
states,
pursuant
to
article
5
of
the
united
states
constitution,
to
call
a
convention
for
proposing
amendments
to
set
a
limit
on
the
number
of
terms
to
which
a
person
may
be
elected
as
a
member
of
the
u.s
house
of
representatives
and
to
set
a
limit
on
the
number
of
terms
to
which
a
person
may
be
elected.
E
E
38
states
must
ratify
the
proposal
in
order
for
it
to
be
enshrined
as
law
with
term
limits
on
congress,
more
seats
could
be
filled
with
experienced
state
and
local
legislators,
as
well
as
citizens
from
within
the
communities
represented
with
real
world
experience.
I
think
we
all
know
that
congress
is
not
about
to
propose
limits
on
themselves.
So
the
constitution
also
provides
the
state
legislatures
that
ability,
through
this
process,
with
that
I'll,
be
glad
to
take
any
questions.
D
Any
questions
from
the
members,
I
see
that
you
have
a
someone
to
testify.
Do
you
want
to
go
out
of
session
and
let
them
testify
don't.
D
Representative
you're
recognized,
thank
you
cheerleading.
I
can
you
hear
me,
I'm
sorry
todd
some
of
the
concerns
that
I've
heard
about
this
is
that
it
would
open
up
a
pandora's
box.
Is
that
true,
representative
todd.
E
E
38
states
must
ratify.
Whatever
is
developed
from
that.
In
order
for
it
to
be
part
of
the
constitution,
we
have
checks
and
balances.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
in
the
state
of
tennessee,
we
have
a
law
on
the
books,
faithful
delegate
law
that
holds
our
delegates
accountable.
It's
actually
a
class
e
felony
for
them
to
do
something
different
than
what
the
legislator
directs
the
legislature
directs
them
to
do.
So
we
have
some
protections
in
place
that
I'm
certainly
very
comfortable
with
once
I've
read
through
all
of
the
pros
and
cons.
E
I've
read
through
a
lot
of
the
arguments,
both
sides
and
firmly
believe
this.
This
was
set
in
place
by
the
delegates
to
the
constitutional
convention,
the
original
constitutional
convention,
when
we
were
only
under
articles
of
confederation
and
james
madison
himself
drafted
this,
and
I
believe
that's.
There
was
a
good
reason
for
that.
We
we
know
that
congress
is
where
most
amendments
have
originated
and
been
run
through,
but
things
like
this,
I
don't
think
we're
ever
going
to
see
that
happen.
You
know
we
can't
trust
them
to
to
do
this.
E
F
F
If
we,
we
sent
a
delegate
up
there
and
if
they
they
could
violate
tennessee
law
if
they
went
off
the
rails,
but
there's
nothing
to
keep
that
delegate
from
going
down
to
federal
court
and
saying
I
think,
tennessee's
law
is
unconstitutional
and
a
federal
judge,
saying
you're
right,
then
they're
off
the
hook
and
they
can
vote
the
way
they
want
to
vote.
It's
because
we
don't
have
precedent
on
this.
F
It's
the
same
reason.
I
voted
against
article
fives
when
it
came
to
to
balancing
the
budget
congress,
because
tennessee
would
be
the
one
first
states
to
go
with
federal
money.
Forty
percent
of
our
budgets
federal.
So
I
I
just.
F
E
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
the
comments
and
I
have
dealt
with
that
in
my
own
mind
as
I've
as
I've
read
through
all
the
proof
of
and
arguments
on,
both
sides,
but
I
still
come
down
to
the
to
the
primary
fact
that
38
states
must
ratify
this
and
if,
quite
frankly,
my
personal
feeling
is
if
38
states
would
ratify
something-
that's
really
bad,
for
example,
overturning
the
entire
constitution.
E
Then
our
country's
lost
already
that
we
don't
have
anything
to
fight
for,
but
I
believe
firmly
believe
we
still
have
38
states
that
would
not
uphold
anything
coming
out
of
this
convention
potential
convention.
That
would
be
bad.
That
would
be
negative
for
the
country.
So
with
that
check
in
place,
I
believe
we're
very
safe
from
that
happening.
But
I
appreciate
your
comments.
D
G
Did
didn't
do
as
much
work
as
we
did
last
session,
and
so
so
this
bill
passed.
What
this
bill
would
allow
for
is
the
transference
of
some
cookville
region
or
cookeville
city
employees
to
cookville
regional
medical
center
that
were
inadvertently
left
off
of
tcrs
when
the
transaction
took
place
to
make
the
private
act
hospital
that
was
cookbook
regional
medical
center,
and
so
this
is
just
to
clarify
and
move
both
assets
and
liabilities
of
those
employees
from
the
city
of
cookeville
to
cookville
regional
medical
center.
G
D
D
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair
lady,
so
this
bill
deals
with
license
plate
readers
and
the
making
sure
we
keep
confidential,
that
information
that
is
captured
by
license
plate
readers.
So
it's
not
open
to
public
inspection
license
plate
readers
or
new
technology
used
by
law
enforcement
that
have
been
very
successful.
Many
different
local
communities
use
license
plate
readers
throughout
the
state
have
some
different
examples.
H
H
They
say:
they've
solved
over
100
crimes
in
this
last
year,
including
recovering
57,
stolen
vehicles,
discovering
30,
stolen,
license
plates
and
two
stolen
trailers.
Additionally,
they
found
11
100
people
and
found
a
missing
juvenile
with
license
plate
readers.
They
can
be
very
effective
in
a
lot
of
different
situations,
particularly
you
know,
amber
alerts
and
other
situations.
So
this
is
a
new
technology
that
law
enforcement's
using.
We
just
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
kept
confidential,
so
it's
not
open
to
inspection
by
the
general
public.
D
D
I
Chairman
and
members,
this
simply
allows
members
of
our
highway
patrol.
Let
me
give
an
example:
first,
let's
say
that
curtis
johnson
serves
eight
years
in
the
military
in
the
air
force
which
he
did
about
eight
years.
Was
he
got
out
of
the
air
force?
I
Navy
excuse
me
and
he
serves
until
he's
30
years
old
in
one
day,
if
he
joins
the
highway
patrol
at
that
time,
he
will
never
be
able
to
get
an
80
20
insurance
plan
for
his
family.
So
if
he's
got
young
children
or
a
wife
which
he
does,
I
don't
know
about,
the
young
children
he's
got
a
wife.
Now
he
will
never
reach
the
80
20
insurance
plan.
It's
provided
to
all
state
employees
if
they
work
30
years,
because
the
mandatory
retirement
date
is
at
60..
I
So
this
bill
simply
provides
that
we
give
a
bridge
at
25
years
for
a
highway
patrolman
if
they
work
25
years,
we'll
bridge
them
onto
the
30
for
their
retirement
compensation,
but
they
can't
get
the
health
insurance
they
need.
So
they've
got
to
continue
working
until
60
and
they
still
don't
have
the
health
insurance
at
80
20..
This
simply
provides
those
those
individuals,
men
and
women
who
work
for
the
highway
patrol
that
are
caught
in
that
trap
of
not
being
able
to
get
30
years
in
when
they've
got
the
25
year
retirement.
I
So
this
simply
allows
our
highway
patrol
men
and
women
the
opportunity
for
the
80
20
health
insurance
which
they
deserve.
They
work
the
road
for
so
many
years
and
we
shouldn't
penalize
them
and
put
them
in
a
box,
because
we've
got
a
mandatory
retirement
date
of
age
60..
Any
questions
I
hope
that's
a
satisfactory
explanation.
B
You
chair
thanks,
chair,
lenny,
hilton,
chairman
wendell,
this
this
has
been
through
pensions
and
insurance.
Could
you
give
us
the
outcome
of
of
that
decision.
I
I
I
mean
representative
kiesland,
we've
got
a
personal
friend,
we
do
was
in
the
military
he's
caught
in
the
same
box
as
many
others
and
and
I'm
for
parity,
and
we
shouldn't
be
making
exceptions,
but
the
exception
is
we
already
make
these
individuals
retire
at
age
60
if
they
could
work
until
whatever
age
and
this
wouldn't
be
necessary,
but
we
shouldn't
penalize
people
who
join
the
military
and
then
serve
pastor
30th
birthday,
because
we
put
them
in
a
straitjacket.
Excuse
that's
not
in
a
box
that
they
can't
get
out
of
well.
B
Charlie
okay,
thank
you.
I
I
totally
agree.
I
will
be
to
all
I
will
be
supporting
this.
I
I
think
it's
it's
just
one
of
those
situations
where,
personally
I
I
I
don't
see
any
we
we
have
to.
We
have
to
assist
these
things.
These
folks
that's
caught
in
that
they
painted
in
that
corner.
So
I
want
to
turn
to
you
and
say
thank
you,
chairman
wendell,
for
bringing
this
to
us
today.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
again,
chair
lady.
