Description
House Public Service Subcommittee - March 17, 2021 - House Hearing Room 4
A
A
B
You,
madam
chairman,
this
is
the
constitutional
amendment
that
came
through
the
last
general
assembly
that
deals
with
inca
incapacitation
of
a
governor
and
would
set
up
the
line
of
succession,
so
the
lieutenant
governor
can
step
in
more
smoothly
if
needed.
At
any
point,
we
hope
that
would
never
be
needed,
but
this
is
what
that
sets
up.
A
B
A
Item
number
two
is
house
bill
112
by
chairman
moody.
I
do
not
see
her.
We
will
roll
that
to
the
hill
item.
Number
three
is
house
bill,
530
by
chairman
moody.
We
will
roll
that
to
the
hill
item.
Number
four
is
house
bill.
372
by
representative
cassada
has
been
taking
off
notice.
Item
number
five
is
house
bill
910
by
representative
cassada
good
morning
good
morning.
Do
I
have
a
motion
a
second.
B
C
Thank
you,
madam
chairman,
and
chairman
yeah.
I
appreciate
you
working
with
us
on
this
and
I
did
check
and
found
out
that
the
sheriff's
association
is
all
behind
this.
We
make
some
changes
that
they
feel
like
will
help,
and
what
you're
trying
to
do
is
just
make
sure
that
people
don't
haggle
yes
and
mess
with
people
if
they
get
a
speeding
ticket
or
another
ticket
you're
taking
their
address
and
their
phone
number
off,
but
their
name
and
the
offense
is
still
on
there.
That's.
A
A
A
D
A
D
A
A
D
A
A
E
E
I
have
first,
oh,
let
me
open
the
right
book.
I
am
carrying
this
with
senator
massey
and
her
great
work
and
with
the
disability
community,
and
so
this
just
will
create
the
same,
which
is.
Com
stands
for
state
as
a
model
employer
program
for
the
purpose
of
ensuring
that
state
agencies
and
departments,
design
and
proactively
implement
best
promising
and
emergency
emerging
policies,
practices
and
procedures
related
to
the
recruitment,
hiring
advancement
and
retention
of
qualified
individuals
with
disabilities.
A
Any
questions
from
the
members
sing
none
all
those
in
favor
of
sending
house
bill
112
to
state
full
signify.
By
saying
I
I
those
opposed
the
eyes
have.
It
goes
to
state
full
item.
Number
three
is
house
bill
530
by
chairman
moody.
We
have
a
proper
motion.
Second
chairman
you're
recognized
on
the
bill.
E
Thank
you
so
much.
What
this
bill
seeks
to
do
is
to
offer
reward
for
information
leading
to
the
rest
of
any
individual
responsible
for
the
shooting
of
a
law
enforcement
officer.
The
reward
will
be
a
thousand
dollars
if
the
officer
is
injured
in
the
shooting
and
twenty
thousand
dollars.
If
the
law
enforcement
officer
is
killed
in
the
shooting
and
it
in
the
event
such
reward
is
issued,
there
will
be
a
one-time
increase
in
state
expenditures
from
the
general
fund.
A
A
F
Thank
you,
this
rewrites
the
bill,
and
this
is
actually
fulfilling
a
need
that
we
have
all
across
the
state
with
law
enforcement
agencies.
As
many
of
you
are
aware,
our
local
agencies
are
having
trouble
filling
positions
there.
They
have
a
lot
of
vacancies,
and
this
allows
our
law
enforcement
officers,
retired
law
enforcement
officers
to
come
back
and
fill
some
of
those
vacancies
right
now,
they're
restricted
to,
I
believe
it's
120
days
of
service
in
a
year
without
damaging
their
retirement
benefits.
F
This
would
allow
them
to
come
back
full
time
and
for
the
full
year
without
hurting
their
retirement
benefits.
It
has
some
some
caveats
and
things
that
we
have
worked
out
with
the
tcr's
folks
to
make
sure
that
the
fund
is
not
damaged.
We
don't
want
to
change
the
pattern
of
retirement,
but
many
of
these
probably
most
of
these,
are
required
to
retire,
there's
mandatory
retirements
ages
and
service
years
and
so
they're
forced
out
so
there's
a
set
date.
F
They
have
to
retire
anyway,
and
we
don't
believe
with
the
formula
that
we
have
here,
that
we've
worked
out
with
the
tcrs
folks
that
this
will
hurt
that
pattern
of
retirement.
It
sunsets,
I
believe,
in
two
years
to
make
sure
that
we
have
to
come
back
and
revisit
this
and
look
at
it
and
assess
with
numbers
real
data,
how
this
has
affected
tcrs.
F
C
F
It
it
is,
they
would
go
back
to
work
at
no
more
than
85
percent
of
the
pay
rate
for
that
position
for
their
years
of
service
and
what
they're
qualified.
For
so
the
there
is
a
an
ins,
a
disincentive
for
them
to
be
rehired
from
that
and
that's
part
of
the
formula
to
not
create
a
different
pattern
of
retirement.
C
F
Yes,
that
is
correct.
That's
been
the
issue
if
they
went
to
as
it
stands
now,
if
they
work
more
than
120
days.
I
think
I've
got
that
number
right.
It's
been
a
while,
since
that
was
kind
of
the
beginning
of
this
whole
process.
If
they
work
more
than
that,
then
their
benefits
are
reduced,
their
retirement
benefits
are
reduced,
so
this
says
no,
your
retirement
benefits
will
not
change.

A
G
F
G
A
A
H
H
You
chairman
members
of
the
committee,
this
rewrites
the
bill.
The
amendment
was
put
on
because
I
made
a
drafting
error.
I
was
supposed
to
take
something
out
and
I
had
put
in
on
my
original
draft
with
this
bill
and
I'll
read
the
amendment
in
part.
What
this
bill
says
is
a
local
government
entity
or
executive
head
of
a
local
government
shall
not
by
executive
order,
ordinance
or
resolution,
create
categories
or
classifications
of
non-essential,
non-essential
businesses,
trades
professions
or
industries
for
this.
H
For
the
purpose
of
suspending
lawful
commerce,
encumbering
trade
are
denying
citizens
the
right
to
work
if
such
activity
is
other
wise,
lawful
and
destruct
state
and
members
of
the
committee,
I
live
in
williamson
county
and
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
my
constituents
are
business
owners
that
are
in
a
different
municipality,
which
is
kind
of
north
of
our
area.
And
unfortunately,
during
the
last
year,
in
this
pandemic,
we've
had
different
orders
put
out
to
people
that
incu
that
kept
them
from
actually
working
and
and
this
what
this
bill
does
is
say
during
well
across
the
state.
H
There's
going
to
be
only
one
person
steering
the
ship
and
that's
going
to
be
the
governor
and
the
general
assembly,
and
this
would
not
allow
local
municipalities
to
create
a
list
and
say
you're
not
going
to
work
this
week
or
for
the
next
month
or
two
months
because
we
deemed
it.
So
I
think
this
is.
It
is
a
fundamental
right
to
provide
for
your
family
and
do
that-
and
this
is
literally
what's
happened.
The
last
year
is
literally
ruin
people's
livelihoods
taking
their
life
savings.
H
I
have
I
had
restaurant
owners
that
literally
emptied
their
life
savings
to
pay
payroll
for
six,
eight
10
12
weeks
because
of
ordinances
that
were
given
out
in
local
municipalities,
and
this
ensures
that,
if
that
happens
when-
and
if
that
happens,
it
will
be
clearly
by
the
governor
or
this
body
and
not
a
local
municipality
making
those
orders.
Thank
you,
committee.
I'll.
Take
any
questions.
C
B
I
H
Chairman,
if
we
may,
we
may
have
to
go
out
of
a
session
to
legal,
but
I
believe
so
from
executive
order.
I
believe
he
would
still
maintain
the
ability
to
allow
a
local
municipality
to
do
so,
but
they
would
not
have
the
exclusive
right
to
do
so
without
approval
from
either
the
general
assembly
or
the
governor.
As
I
understand
it,
but
we
can
go
out
of
nowhere.
A
A
A
J
This
is
a
purely
permissive
bill
and
doesn't
require
any
actions
by
the
county
clerks
or
by
applicants
of
business
likes.
It
simply
puts
a
box
on
the
business
license
application
where
they
can
indicate
whether
they're
a
veteran
owned,
a
minority-owned
business,
and
this
was
brought
to
me
by
the
county
mayor,
the
county
clerk
in
knox
county,
and
this
is
purely
to
to
help
the
chamber
of
commerce's
across
the
state
across
to
to
to
be
able
to
track
and
see
how
they're
doing
as
far
as
minority
businesses
are
concerned.
