Description
House Department of Agencies Subcommittee House Hearing Room 3
A
B
A
Thank
you
just
to
update
on
the
the
final
calendar
we'll
go
through
if
anybody's
waiting
on
particular
bill.
Give
me
an
update
number
one:
hb
349's
off
notice,
number
two
hb
1682
is
off
notice.
A
C
C
C
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
This
bill
here
is
basically,
it
says,
charitable
solicitations
which
it
is,
but
it's
actually
a
veterans
bill.
We
have
come
to
find
out
that
in
some
of
our
solicitations
that
we
get
for
our
veterans
here
in
the
in
the
state
of
tennessee
and
I'll.
Take
one,
for
example,
would
be
the
wounded
warrior
project
that
if
we
take
in
a
amount
of
money
from
the
wounded
warrior
project
and
it
amounts
to
a
certain
percentage
of
what
we
send
to
or
what
the
wounded
warrior
gets.
C
So
we
tried
to
bring
something
up.
That
would
help
them
to
get
more
money
back
to
the
state
of
tennessee
and
without
taking
much
time.
The
secretary
of
state
has
found
some
things
that
he
says
is
not
exactly
right
about
this
bill.
It
would
probably
keep
some
other
people
from
coming
to
the
state
to
do
charitable
organizations
like
this.
We
plan
to
bring
this
back,
because
this
is
the
one
particular
ones
of
the
agencies
that
do
not
give
back
as
much
as
tennessee
gives
to
them.
D
Hey,
mr
chair,
can
I
explain
this
a
minute
before
y'all
consider
your
actions
just
so
you
know
we
can
be
cognizant
of
the
committee's
time,
and
so
they
know
what
they're.
Considering
do
you
mind
go
ahead.
Thank
you,
sir,
but
what
this
amendment
that
we're
reconsidering
simply
does
this.
D
It
simply
puts
in
the
code
that
our
restaurants,
hospitality
businesses,
arenas
that
you
know
provide
entertainment,
for
you
know,
people
that
are
either
you
know:
tourists
or
citizens
in
the
state
of
tennessee.
It
allows
them
to
use
their
internet
without
tbi
descending
upon
them
and
saying
hey
you're
involved
in
illegal
gaming.
D
That's
all
this
amendment
does
and
so
and
and
how?
How
the
reason
I
even
brought
this
because
some
of
my
some
of
my
our
people
on
beale
street
they
said
you
know
this
is
a
big
industry.
This
this
online
sports
gaming
right
and
people
are
getting.
You
know
on.
You
know
tapping
into
online
sports
gaming
on
their
phones.
D
But
what
we
didn't
want
people
to
mistake.
This
ass
was
them
people
getting
on
their
internet
and
then
either
going
to
fanduel
or
caesars
and
somebody's
saying,
hey,
they're
they're
in
there
being
part
of
sports
gaming
mistakenly
and
then
and
then
tbi
descends
on
their
restaurant
and
closes
them
down
for
something
that
they
probably
already
can
do.
So
all
we're
doing,
because
there's
nothing
in
the
code
that
says
they
can't.
D
A
A
B
B
A
A
D
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
committee,
and
I
will
now
take
this
bill
off
notice.
Thank
you,
sir.
A
Yes
and
we
gotta,
we
need
a
motion.
Second,
and
what
drafting
code
do
you
have.
E
A
E
This
bill
recognizes
an
indian
tribe
residing
on
federal
lands
held
by
the
united
states
government
for
the
purpose
of
such
tribe,
obtaining
a
license
from
the
national
indian
gaming
commission
to
conduct
gaming
operations
on
those
tribal
lands
within
tennessee
as
amended.
This
bill
creates
a
compact
task
force
to
negotiate
on
behalf
of
the
state.
E
The
terms
of
compact
between
the
state
of
tennessee
and
indian
tribe
for
purposes
of
conducting
gaming
operations
on
land
held
by
trust
by
the
government
requires
speaker
of
the
house
of
senate
to
basically
the
task
force
will
be
approved
by
four
members
of
the
senate,
four
members
of
the
house
and
four
members
of
the
administration
and
then
to
negotiate
on
behalf
of
the
state
with
the
indian
tribe
and
once
a
compact
is
agreed
to,
then
it
would
come
back
before
the
legislature
to
be
approved
before
it
would
be
signed
off
on
and
then
the
the
indian
tribe
would
be
allowed
to
include
that
in
their
in
their
application
to
the
federal
tribal
gaming
commission.
E
A
A
F
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
my
name
is
keith
davidson,
I'm
here
representing
the
lauderdale
county
chamber
of
commerce,
and
while
I
want
to
talk
to
you
today
about
the
development
in
hinting
I'd,
first
like
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
philadelphia,
mississippi,
you
see,
philadelphia
is
centrally
located
off
of
four
lane
highways,
and
by
that
I
mean
to
get
to
philadelphia,
you're
going
to
have
to
travel
a
minimum
of
28
miles
down
a
two-lane
road
just
to
get
to
philadelphia.
F
F
F
F
You
find
the
project
and
we'll
find
the
resources
necessary
to
help
you
with
that.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
this
is
the
project
and
you
can
be
our
resources.
You
and
our
friends
in
hinting
our
choctaw
friends
can
do
just
that.
For
us,
this
is
a
game
changer.
For
us
this
will
change
the
footprint
for
lauderdale
county.
I
do
believe
I
believe
you
also
know
that
this
passed
a
county
commission
resolution
was
brought
forward
saying
that
they
have
supported
the
county
commissioners.
F
You
also
have
the
support
of
the
lardo
county
chamber
of
commerce.
We've
talked
to
a
number
of
people
within
the
community
and
they're
supporting
this
as
well.
Lauderdale
county
wants
this
and
we're
here
asking
for
your
support
with
that.
I
thank
you
for
thank
you
for
your
time
and
all
that
you
do
for
state
tennessee.
We.
A
G
G
G
G
F
F
G
G
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Other
questions.
H
You,
mr
chairman,
mr
davidson,
what
is
your?
What
is
your
position
there
at
the
chamber,
your
director,
chairman
of
the
board
chairman,
okay,
okay,
very
good,
so
is
there?
Has
there
been
executed
a
letter
of
intent
between,
of
course,
not
the
chamber,
but
the
county
of
the
county
and
and
the
chalk
choctaw
nation
regarding
this
project
or
at.
F
H
Okay,
no
and
and
of
course,
is
easy
and
not
that
they
have
to,
but
have
you
all
got
as
the
chamber
got
any
idea
of
about
the
number?
How
would
this
affect
the
local
community
in
terms
of
employment
numbers.
F
Yes,
sir,
well
not
exact
numbers,
but
some
well.
H
Certainly
deep,
of
course,
the
big
blue,
the
blue
oval
is
thank
you.
Congratulations,
stu
by
the
way
over
that
that's
a
big
deal
and
that's
something
that
representative
beck
and
I
actually
discussed
at
the
end
of
our
committee
meeting
last
week
that
he
and
a
good
point
that
he
made.
I
mean
that
is
coming
to
the
neighborhood.
H
Now
the
neighborhood
being
30
miles
or
less
yeah
and
I'm
sure
that's
in
there,
but
the
the
fact
is
that
it's
going
to
take
a
long
time.
We
we
understand
that
before
that
can
be
up
and
running.
Do
you
have
any
estimates
if,
if
everything
just
clicked
and
fell
like
domino's
here
again,
assuming
that,
how
quick
can
can
we
be
operational
there,
and
I
know
it
takes
time
to
build.
You
know
for
sure.
You
know
for
bricks
and
mortar.
F
H
H
F
H
Right,
mr
chairman,
I
while
mr
davidson's
still
at
the
podium
now
I
I
guess
we'll
go
back
into
session
in
a
moment.
I'll
just
conclude
by
saying,
and
thank
you
for
the
time
chairman.
Thank
you,
mr
davidson,
for
your
time,
your
service
to
to
the
chamber
there,
and
we
we
appreciate
you
very
much
and
thank
you
appreciate,
stay
the
course.
Sir.
Thank
you
for
being
with
us
today.
I
Googling
philadelphia
and
the
two,
the
two
casinos,
two
hotels
and
the.
I
F
Not
only
that,
if
I
might
add
in
addition
to
just
what
they're
doing
there,
if
you
go
actually
into
philadelphia,
you'll
find
that
other
retail
and
such
has
followed
as
well.
So
it's
it
goes
hand
in
hand.
F
A
A
H
Now
I
want
to
go
I've.
I've
been
through
the
last
year
and
a
half
year,
hustle
and
bustle,
so
you
can
understand
I've
caught
into
the
I
arrived
here.
Late,
walk,
walk
me
through,
and
I
apologize
members
for
this
this
question,
but
forgive
me
and
bear
indulgence
here:
what
does
the
state?
What
have
we
got
to
do
then?
Should
this
pass
assuming
that
this
this
passes
and
and
and
it
and
it
clears
you
know
it-
clears
that
both
side
in
the
house
here
and
we
get
it.
H
E
You,
mr
chairman,
yes,
sir,
if
this
legislation
were
to
pass
and
get
through,
the
next
step
would
be
to
create
the
task
force,
appoint
the
members
and
then,
as
the
task
force
was
created,
they
would
negotiate
enter
into
negotiations
with
the
choctaw.
E
When
those
negotiations
com
are
complete
and
everybody's
good,
the
the
it
would
come
back
in
front
of
the
general
assembly,
the
the
the
compact
wood
to
go
through
the
general
assembly
and
be
approved
and
through
through
the
legislature
and
then
once
that,
once
that's
approved,
then
the
choctaw
would
be
able
to
include
that
in
their
application
to
the
federal
tribal
gaming
commission
and
then
from
there.
The
decisions
would
have
to
be
made
at
the
federal
level
whether
they
get
the
license
or
not,
and
then
from
there.
H
Chairman,
oh
yeah,
okay,
so
look
then
this
isn't
a
quick.
This
is
going
to
be
a
quickie.
Then
this
thing
could
be
we're
talking
12
to
18
months
and
then
theoretically,
12
months.
E
Yes,
sir,
I
don't
know
the
time
frame
for
I
know
it
would
have
to
be
next
session.
If
we
came
to
agreement.
H
E
Compact,
in
order
to
get
it
back
to
the
general
assembly,
but
that
being
said
as
far
as
the
the
the
application
to
the
federal
tribal
gaming
commission,
I
don't
know
the
time
frame
there
on
how
long
that
would
take
to
be
able
to
get
an
answer.
For
that.
H
Okay,
thank
you
again.
Thank
you.
You
know
where
I
stand
representative.
I
appreciate
you
and
your
your
concerns
for
your
for,
for
lauderdale
and
and
the
fine
people
down
there.
I
I
know,
as
I
said
last
week,
of
the
five
counties
that
we
our
footprint
two
are
distressed
and
and
by
golly
I
know
I
I
know
it's
just
tough
and
I
appreciate
the
time
and
the
and
your
effort
in
this.
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
chairman.
J
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
What
I've
heard
certainly
makes
me
feel
a
lot
better,
because
I
thought
we
were
kind
of
rushing
through
things.
Last
time
I
heard
the
bill.
I
thought
it
had
a
lot
of
merit,
but
I
just
thought
we
were
blasting
off
too
fast
when
it
comes
back.
If
it
passes
and
comes
back
to
the
general
assembly,
will
it
come
back
with
a
request
just
for
a
joint
resolution
to
be
passed,
or
would
it
come
through
as
a
bill
that
would
be
vetted
through
committees?
You
know.
E
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
don't
know,
I
don't
know
if
it
would
be
a
resolution
being
that
it's
already
agreed
to
on
the
outside.
I
I
mean
I
don't
know
how
that
would
look
when
it
comes
back
to
be
approved
by
the
or
to
be
vetted
by
the
general
assembly.
E
I
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
and
thank
you
representative,
hurt
for
listening
to
our
concerns
last
week
and
bringing
back
this
amendment
that
gives
the
general
assembly
more
control
and
and
to
come
back
and
to
work
on
this
compact
when
you're
at
that,
when
they're
at
the
the
choctaw
at
that
position,
you
know,
I
just
think
it's.
You
know
very
important
for
us
to
look
at
this.
We
we
want
lauderdale
accounting
to
to
thrive,
but
we
also
want
the
you
know
the
the
the
funds
and
the
success
of
this
to
be.
I
You
know,
taken
care
of
take
care
of
the
state
and
the
locals.
So
it's
very
important
and
I
appreciate
you
working
with
us.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you,
sir.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
representative,
hurt
I'm
going
to
allude
back
to
my
county
a
little
bit
because
you
know
up
there.
The
cherokees
have
purchased.
Probably
I
don't
know
250
acres
or
better,
like
that,
of
course,
they're
they're
planting
they're.
They
are
planting
right
now,
a
buckys
and
some
entertainment,
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
Now,
if
the
choctaw
go
with
you,
I
mean
course:
now
we
already
got
sports
betting
in
the
county.
I
mean
in
the
state.
Excuse
me
a
lot
of
that's
going
out
of
state.
We
understand
that.
C
But
if
the
choctaw
come
in
there
and
they
apply
to
the
department
of
interior
and
they
get
granted
a
that
their
tribal
land,
okay,
then
they
can.
They
would
be
able
to
do
as
the
cherokees
do
in
cherokee
and
also
in
murphy.
They
have
one
in
murphy.
They
would
be
able
to
go
ahead
and
put
up
their
own
gaming
or
casinos
that
right,
you'll.
E
The
way
the
legislation
reads,
I
believe
so,
yes,
sir,
they
would
be
able
to
pursue
a
compact
kind
of
going
through
the
same
process
of
having
representation
from
the
state
and
locals
to
enter
into
negotiations.
That's
the
way
I
understand,
but
not
being
familiar
with
the
process
that
they
use
and
only
having
spoken
to
the
chair
choctaw.
To
this
point,
that's,
I
would
understand
it
to
be
that
way
from
what
I
understand,
mr
chairman,.
C
Nothing
and
that's
that's
the
the
thing
I'm
thinking
about
right
now,
I'm
not
whether
you
want
a
casino
or
don't
want
a
casino,
but
I
mean
if
they
get-
and
I
think
maybe
they
will
have
a
good
chance
at
this,
because
I've
heard
some
other
things
and-
and
I
want
you
to
know-
they're
working
the
same
thing
in
sevier
county
right
now.
If
they
get
classified
tribal
land,
if
you
don't
have
something
in
place
with
them,
lauderdale's
still
going
to
be
hurting.
E
Just
a
response
to
that-
and
I
appreciate
that-
but
I
do
know
that
from
visiting
with
the
choctaw
extensively,
they
want
to
be
good
neighbors.
They
want
to
take
the
process
of
benefiting
the
state
of
tennessee
and
the
henning
and
lauderdale
county
area.
So
that's
you
know,
that's
why
we
are
where
we
are
they.
I
do
know
that
they
want
to
do
their
part
and
be
good
neighbors,
which
I
would
guess
that
the
others
would
be
also.
So
that's
that's
why
we're
here
today.
So
thank
you
for
that.
E
Mr
chairman,
that
the
table
is
wide
open
for
negotiations
on
on
on
compacts
the
way
I
understand,
they're
laid
out
that
that
anything
is
on
the
table,
that
that
any
side
wants
to
bring
and
negotiate.
A
A
K
K
As
the
members
may
know,
the
speaker
and
the
lieutenant
governor
had
a
standing
committee
over
the
summer
regarding
unaccompanied
alien
children
that
were
brought
in
the
cloak
of
night
into
our
state,
and
currently
the
statute
reads
that
the
federal
government
would
give
us
a
quarterly
report
as
to
who's
coming
to
the
state
and
where
they're
being
distributed.
The
federal
government
has
not
done
that.
It's
it's.
K
My
understanding
that,
when
the
office
was
under,
the
british
innovation
administration
was
in
the
in
the
administration
that
that
information
was
freely
shared
with
the
office,
because
it
was
a
position
that
was
part-time
funded
by
the
federal
government.
This
bill
would
reopen
that
with
the
intent
of
being
able
to
know
who
is
coming
in
and
out
of
our
state
from
the
federal
government.
Currently,
after
closing
these
east
tennessee
catholic
charities
is
the
one
who's
administering
the
program.
In
absence
of
the
state
doing
it,
the
hope
is
really
just
to
be
able
to
collect
data.
K
The
jo,
the
the
catholic
charities
are
doing
a
great
work
here
in
middle
tennessee
and
in
east
tennessee.
We
don't
want
to
impugn
what
they're
doing,
but
we,
the
citizens
of
the
state,
have
made
it
known
to
us
that
they'd
like
to
know
who's
coming
and
where
from
and
and
where-
and
this
we
feel
like
this
is
where
I
feel
like
this
is
the
about
the
only
way
we
can
get
that
data
and
information.
K
There
are
some
challenges
as
it
relates
to
cost,
and
so
anytime,
you,
oh,
reopen
a
committee,
and
so
I
hope
to
work
with
the
the
department
and
finance
to
figure
out
if
there's
more
economical
way
to
do
it
with
that
being
said,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
A
L
L
L
Typically,
most
of
your
non-profit
child
care
are
run
by
and
so
are
run
by
religious
organizations,
but
there's
a
group
that
are
not
and
there's
a
one
in
my
district
called
little
oaks
and
they're
in
st
mary's
church,
where
it
used
to
be
the
nuns
that
live,
that
worked
in
saint
mary's
lived
off
site
and
that
that
building
is
now
where
little
oaks
daycare
child
care
is
housed
and
they
use
only
the
bottom
floor.
They
have
a
hundred
kiddos.
L
At
this
point
they
could
go
50
to
100
more
because
they
have
a
whole
second
floor.
That's
not
in
use.
They
work
really
hard
to
keep
their
prices
down
below
the
average
so
that
that
community,
which
is
a
lower
middle
class
community,
can
also
bring
their
kids
there.
And
it's
just
it's
a
great
facility.
But
one
of
the
problems
with
these
folks
who
are
non-profit
not
run
by
religious
organizations,
is
that
they
have
to
every
single
year
pay
for
an
independent
cpa
audit
and
that
audit
costs
them
around
nine
thousand
dollars
every
year.
L
So
when
they're
trying
to
keep
their
costs
down,
trying
to
provide
care
for
really
good
care
for
these
families
they're
a
three-star
facility-
we
have
two
of
these
in
knoxville,
and
one
of
them
is
really
struggling
and
may
not
make
it
this
year.
Little
oaks
is
going
to
make
it,
but
they
would
really
like
to
expand
because
their
waiting
lists
are
so
long.
L
We've
got
waiting
lists
across
the
state
and
these
facilities
are
at
risk
because
of
this
independent
audit
charitable
organizations
that
provide
child
care,
independent
of
a
religious
institution
or
an
education
institution
are
the
only
agencies
subject
to
the
audit
requirement,
and
it
creates
a
significant
financial
burden
not
shared
by
similarly
situated
organizations
providing
the
same
care
to
help
with
context
little
oaks
academy.
Annual
audit
expense
is
approximately
nine
thousand
dollars
a
year.
L
So
that's
they're
they're,
paying
for
the
same
information
that
they
already
produce
every
year
and
it's
causing
putting
them
in
a
situation
of
either
really
having
to
raise
rates
not
being
able
to
grow
and
for
some
of
these
facilities
that
might
be
a
little
bit
smaller.
It's
keeping
them
at
risk
of
staying
open
at
all.
So
this
proposal
would
add
any
child
care
agency
that
is
subject
to
regulation
by
the
tennessee
department
of
human
services
as
a
new
exempt
entity.
So
it
would
make
them
there's
exemptions
for
religious
organizations.
L
J
J
No,
hopefully,
no
fraud
at
all
is
is
involved
in
the
organizations,
and
I
certainly
have
been
involved
with
many
non-profits
that
had
fraudulent
activities
and
it's
the
saddest
thing
you
ever
experienced.
J
L
Can
I
respond
to
that?
Yes,
you
can.
Thank
you
yeah!
Well,
the
these
other
they
they've
exempted
religious
organizations.
Volunteering
you
know,
volunteer,
firefighters
are
exempt
from
this
county
fairs
are
exempt
for
this
political
parties,
candidates
for
federal
offices.
You
know
a
lot
of
folks
have
been
exempted
from
this
they're
just
asking
for
that
same
benefit
and
they're
not
doing
fundraising
their
their
money
is
coming
in
from
from
parents
paying
their
fees.
J
I
will
certainly
I
can't
address
all
of
them
charitable
organizations
church-affiliated
almost
every
church
that
I've
ever
been
involved
with
under
their.
I
would
call
it
church
discipline.
J
It
has
an
internal
type
of
audit
vetted
in
their
system,
so
that
gets
that
reliability
there.
Some
of
the
other
organizations-
I
can't
I
know
in
our
county,
our
county
fair
board-
is
audited,
so
if
they
don't
run
a
daycare
either
so
anyway,
it's
I'll
just
stop.
There.
H
L
Like
I
said,
there's
approximately
a
hundred
of
these
facilities
across
the
state
that
are
this
type
of
facility
and
currently
under
the
category
that
they're
in
now
they
pay
yearly
144
dollar
registration
fee.
So
when
they
get
moved
into
this
different
category,
that
fee
will
not
be
there
anymore.
So
it's
144
times
the
100
facilities.
H
Okay,
thank
you
all
right.
Let's
move
down
to
to
today
in
the
senate
that
it
was
in
their
their
committee
today.
Do
you
have?
Can
you
give
me
give
us
an
update
on
the
status
of
the
posture
over
there
right
now?
Currently,.
A
A
H
H
Where
does
little
you
mentioned,
of
course,
the
locally
there
are
little
oaks,
and-
and
maybe
it
blew
by
me,
what
where's
the
funding
source
there
for
for
little
oaks
through
the
parents.
L
Themselves,
self-funding,
I
mean
you
know
through
the
cost
they
try
to
keep
their
costs
low.
Typically,
you
can't
find
child
care
for
a
zero
to
six
month
old
baby
in
knoxville
for
less
than
a
thousand
dollars.
They
try
to
keep
theirs
at
900,
trying
to
keep
it
a
little
bit
lower
for
those
folks
in
in
their
community
on
the
board.
L
You
have
a
lot
of
parents
who
have
who
work
at
ut
and
have
their
kids
there
or
work
in
oak
ridge
and
have
their
kids
there,
but
they
really
want
to
encourage
that
community
that
are
around
that
st
mary's
area
and
they're
able
to
keep
a
more
diverse
community
when
they
can
keep
those
costs
down
and-
and
they
do
have
a
long
waiting
list
like
everybody
else,
but.
G
L
Interestingly
enough
I
mean
I
can
speak
to
that,
because
what
little
oaks
little
oaks
stayed
open
the
whole
time
you
know,
so
they
kept
their
same
folks
and
they
stayed
open.
There
are
difficulties
involved
in
that.
Of
course,
they
really
had
problems
with
staffing
and
and
staff
getting
sick,
and
things
like
that.
This
is
something
they
had
a
problem
they
had
before
the
pandemic
as
well.
L
G
And
I
sympathize
with
this
right
here.
I
have
a
very
large
company
in
my
my
district
right
now,
that
is
in
the
process
of
building
a
daycare
at
their
facility.
It'll
be
free
to
the
employees
for
ages
certain
ages
for
these
people.
So
I
know
where
you're
coming
from
I
just
that
question
occurred
to
me
just
a
few
minutes
ago,
so.
A
A
M
You
chairman
and
members
this
bill
is:
I'm
carrying
this
bill
for
the
tennessee
hospitality
associations
and
stakeholders
in
the
hospitality
industry.
Certain
regulations
entitled
57
are
a
bit
outdated
on
an
ever-changing
hospitality
industry.
This
bill
will
streamline
and
update
certain
regulations
using
technology
and
best
marketplace
practices.
M
What
we
feel
to
make
the
abc
more
effective
and
a
better
agency
than
it
is
today,
which
is
a
good
one.
So,
chairman
I'd
like
to
briefly
go
over
and
summarize
what
what
the
bill
does
each
section
if
that's,
okay,
go
ahead.
Okay,
thank
you
so
section
one.
This
would
synchronize
business
licenses.
M
This
provision
will
allow
a
licensee
to
synchronize
multiple
establishments.
It
allows
the
licensing
to
apply
renewal
license
at
the
same
time
for
all
establishments.
M
It's
a
bit
burdensome
for
a
business
owner
to
have
multiple
renewal
dates
for
for
one.
If
I've
got
five,
oh
charlie's
and
I
want
and
they're
renewed
all
throughout
the
year,
I
can
pick
one
date
and
and
renew
them
all
at
the
same
time.
It's
a
may.
You
don't
have
to
do
it,
but
that's
an
option
for
someone
electronic
verification.
M
This
will
allow
a
licensee
to
use
a
cell
phone
or
a
computer
to
provide
immediate
verification
on
or
off
site
like
for
a
caterer,
and
this
also
and
then,
as
far
as
caterers
are
concerned,
notification
can
be
transmitted
electronically
and
get
a
receipt
from
the
abc
from
notification.
That's
been
received.
M
There's
a
provision
for
the
department
of
revenue
that
cannot
use
event
notifications
submitted
by
caterer
for
purposes
of
an
audit.
We
spoke
with
revenue,
we're
willing
to
strike
this
provision
and
revenues
agreed
to
work
with
the
with
the
industry.
On
on
how
to
do
that,
I
want
to
move
on
to
there's
a
provision
for
wholesalers,
can
deliver
alcoholic
beverages
directly
to
the
site
of
a
less
of
a
licensed
caterer
at
an
event,
the
caterer
must
notify
the
abc
and
be
present
at
the
location
to
receive
alcohol.
M
M
There's
also
summarize
now
this
notification,
when
you
apply
for
a
liquid
by
the
drink,
license
you
want
to
identify
who
the
individual
is,
that
owns
the
business
and
then
that's
who
you
will
deal
with
a
lot
of
times.
M
The
abc
will
come
in
they'll
cite
they'll,
give
the
citation
to
a
bartender
or
a
manager
who's
there.
They
may
not
like
the
owner.
They'll,
never
see
it.
This
guarantees,
it
goes
straight
to
the
owner
or
whoever's
listed
as
the
person,
so
they
can
deal
with
it
directly
and
it's
also
by
email
and
the
last
provision
would
be.
M
M
I
want
to
say
that
the
senate
today
there
were
several
amendments
that
addressed
this-
that
we
are
in
agreement
with,
for
instance,
the
abc
director
shall
be
attorney,
we're
willing
to
strike
that
we're
working
with
the
a
with
the
we
want
to
work
with,
with
some
of
the
abc's
concerns
synchronizing
the
business
licenses
we're
willing
to
extend
that
date
to
where
it's
not
effectively,
so
they
think
it's
going
to
be
next
year
willing
to
do
that.
I.
A
M
And
have
the
electronic
verification
as
well
to
have
both
okay,
that's
reasonable,
we're
willing
to
work
with
that,
and
so
we're
doing
everything
that
we
we
can
to
to
address
the
concerns
these.
These
are
just
we
feel,
as
is
in
the
industry,
as
as
common.
M
And
we
have
testimony
here
that
I'd
like
to
hear
from
that
from
the
industry
that.
A
G
I
just
noticed
in
in
the
amendment
here
where
the
time
for
notification
on
my
license,
caterer
has
moved
from
two
days
to
one
day
and
I
was
just
wondering
right.
M
It's
in
our
current
and
a
lot
of
this
is
downtown,
but
in
our
current
environment
and
I'll
give
you
an
example,
the
predators
are
playing
on
sunday,
it's
a
playoff
game.
If
it's
a
suicide,
if
they
win
they're
playing
the
next
day
and
then
the
caterers
need
to
be
able
to
provide
that
at
that
time.
So
it's
it's
something
that
where
they
can
give
a
notification
and
still
have
that
as
an
option.
M
M
Well,
it's
an
example
of
I'm
giving
an
example.
What
it
is
is
the
one
day
again
it's
something
to
where,
if,
if
we
need
to
work
with
the
abc,
because
I
have
not
gotten
any
language
and
I've
tried,
we've
already
eliminated
some
provisions
that
we
got
rid
of.
We've
clarified
some
language
for
the
abc,
but
I've
got
any
no
language
from
them
that
that
they're
willing
to
work
with.
So
it's
we're
doing
our
best
to
address
it.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
representative
general,
who
brought
you
the
bill:
the
tennessee
hospitality
association,
tennessee,
hospitality,
association,
okay,
dan
haskell,
okay,
they
brought
you
the
bill.
Okay,
did
they
in
in
turn,
did
they
talk
to
abc?
M
C
Chairman,
if
we
could
go
out
yeah
go
out
session
here
from
abc
and
from
the
hospitality
association.
I
would
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
N
Good
afternoon,
mr
chairman
members
of
the
committee,
I'm
general
dan
haskell,
I'm
general
counsel
for
the
tennessee
hospitality
association,
a
long-term
lobbyist
in
this
area.
N
This
is
our
bill.
This
this
bill
provides
some
ease
for
our
restaurants
and
hotels,
who
are
struggling
through
the
world
right
now
by
allowing
them
to
do
some
things
electronically.
Rather
than
keeping
paperwork
around
in
in
the
office.
This
sort
of
started
over
the
issue
of
of
servers
and
managers
permits
having
to
be
kept,
the
paper
being
kept
at
every
site
where
they
worked.
If
you
have
a
a
restaurant
that
you,
where
you
have
two
sites,
you
may
have
a
server
who
works
at
both
sites.
N
All
in
regards
to
that
this
bill
allows
you
to
have
that
electronically.
You
can
keep
it
on
a
computer
and
show
show
it
to
them
rather
than
having
to
produce
another
copy
and
and
keep
it
in
the
other
place.
If
the
way
servers
are
today,
they
often
work
in
at
least
two
places.
So
this
bill
has
a
series
of
things
that
are
like
that.
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
it
is.
N
You
know
I
came
from
the
abc.
I
was
the
assistant
director
there
from
81
to
85..
I
wrote
the
catering
statute
at
the
time
we
passed
the
catering
statute
in
98.
We
thought
no
dish
needed
to
be
left
to
the
abc,
and
it
was
at
that
time.
Notice
was
all
paperwork.
People
came
down
there
and
and
and
gave
notice
in
regards
to
whether
or
not
an
caterer
ought
to
have
to
give
a
longer
notice.
N
N
N
A
good
deal
of
the
catering
of
alcohol
that
goes
on
in
the
state
is
done
by
people
who
are
not
licensed
by
the
abc.
Now
there
are
ways
to
do
that.
I
don't
want
to
talk
about
how
that
works.
At
this
point
there
are
parts
of
this
bill
that
that
the
sponsor
expects
to
to
clean
up
before
you
get
to
it
next
week
in
the
full
committee,
but
the
the
essence
of
it
is
to
make
it
easier
for
our
people
to
exist
in
a
world
that
is
no
longer
about
paper.
A
O
N
N
N
Is
that
the
abc
has
staff
attorneys
in
addition
to
a
director
and
assistant
director,
I
personally
am
fine
with
the
abc
director
being
an
attorney,
and
I,
as
I
understand
it,
we've
they
proposed
to
take
that
out
of
the
bill.
O
A
N
A
P
C
I
was
wondering
about
the
emphasis
on
this
bill
as
to
what
stance
the
abc's
taking
on.
I
know
it
looks
like
there's
going
to
be
tremendous
changes
here,
anything
from
I.t
work
to
this
work
to
that
work,
and
not
posting
this-
that
and
the
other
and-
and
I
just
don't
know-
can
we
can
we
handle
that?
C
Are
we
looking
at
this
too
quick
to
do
this
overnight,
and
it
just
seems
to
be
already
that
the
senate's
making
a
lot
of
changes
or
want
to
make
a
lot
of
changes
and
then
we're
coming
over
here
and
that's
going
to
be
making
changes?
I'm
just
wondering
if
this
is
the
right
time
to
even
try
to
approach
this.
P
P
Rit
is
one
of
those
things
where,
if
I
could
just
take
you
back,
2015
general
assembly
passed
the
general
assembly
in
2015
passed
a
law
that
allowed
us
to
collect
money
from
our
server
permit
fees,
and
it
took
us
a
full
three
years.
The
old
the
former
director
took
him
three
years
to
get
that
computer
system
going.
P
We
are
kind
of
protect,
perfecting
it
right
now,
where
it
actually
works.
How
it's
supposed
to
work?
You
know
it
doesn't
buffer,
and
you
know
your
licensees
are
just
sitting
there
for
20
minutes,
and
so
it's
one
of
those
things
that
we
humbly
tell
you
it's
a
difficult
task
to
maintain
it
and
keep
it
up
recently.
We
recently
we
had
our
it
go
over
to
fna,
and
so
we
work
with
fna.
Now
I
usually
we
work
with
the
industry,
you
know
fall
or
summer
time.
P
P
Now,
there's
a
couple
of
things
right
now
in
our
computer
system.
It's
the
rlps
system,
the
catering
notices
are
actually
put
in
there,
so
it's
not
done
by
email
or
paper
anymore,
but
we
we
do
kind
of
need
that
two
days
to
plan
our
staffing-
it's
not
just
about
you
know
getting
it
right
to
a
person.
You
know.
In
one
day
we
have
to
plan.
We
have
50
agents
for
95
counties.
There's
a
lot
of
referendum
areas
out
there
there's
a
lot
of
catering
events
out
there.
P
P
A
M
Comment
or
you
are
recognized,
thank
you
so
I
I
appreciate
the
testimony
and
and
disregards
what
the
abc's.
I
am
pleased
that
they
are
willing
to
work
with
the
tennessee
hospitality
association,
because
it's
not
been
that
way
so
much
in
the
past.
If
it
was,
we
wouldn't
be
here
today
doing
what
we're
doing.
Okay,
so.
A
M
O
Okay,
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
so
from
what
I
understand,
it
is
still
in
the
bill
that
the
director.
O
O
A
We're
back
in
session
what
I
heard
he's
going
to
address
that
through
one
of
his
changes.
M
A
A
A
Now,
members,
what
I
want
to
do
is
thank
you
for
such
efficiency
and
knowledge
that
we
probably
are
the
first
committee
to
shut
down
this
year.
So
can
my
condolences,
but
I
do
thank
you
for
all
your
efforts
and
and
willing
to
work
and
get
things
done
and
work
together.
