Description
House State Government Committee- March 2, 2021
B
A
C
The
commander-in-chief
of
guard
units
is
the
governor
twice
yesterday
on
my
way
here
from
knox
county.
I
noticed
the
bumper
stencils
for
the
278th
armored,
cavalry
regiment,
normal
everyday
citizens.
Who've
made
a
commitment
to
serve
when
called
the
heart
of
this
bill
is
what
happens
to
civilians
after
active
duty.
C
D
Thank
you,
representative
wright,
for
your
presentation.
My
question
is
when
I
was
in
the
air
guard
and
we
had
the
two-week
summer
camps.
I
was
always
under
the
impression
that
we
are.
We
had
the
employment
protection
were
during
those
summer
camps
where
we
own
state
business
or
where
we
own
federal
business
or,
do
you
know.
C
C
D
Thank
you
chairman.
So
what
this
bill
is
doing
is
if
you're
called
up
for
a
natural
disaster,
you're
and
you're
caught
up
by
the
governor,
then
you're
going
to
be
your
your
job
and
your
rights
are
going
to
be
protected
as
working
under
the
governor
where
they
weren't
before
is
it
am
I
am
I
following
that
correctly.
E
If
you're
called
to
active
duty
on
title
32
orders,
you
are
on
federal
orders,
but
you
under
the
command
and
control
of
governor
bill
lee
or
the
respective
governor
of
that
state.
However,
both
of
those
both
of
those
titles
are
covered
by
the
federal
government
for
the
pay
purposes
I
want
to
make
chief.
Am
I
right
about
that
I'll?
Make
sure
that
I'm
not
missing
the
vote
but
regardless
of
which
you're
on
title
10
or
title
32
you're
under
the
pay
status
of
the
federal
government?
E
Each
governor,
including
governor
lee,
has
the
authority
to
call
individual
members
or
units
of
the
national
guard
to
active
duty
on
a
state
basis
and
you're
not
covered
by
usc.
At
that
point,
you're
covered
by
the
by
the
tennessee
code
and
the
question
is:
do
you
have
re-employment
rights
to
your
job
if
you've
been
called
to
state
active
duty-
and
this
is
somewhat
of
a
new
playing
field
for
the
national
guard
across
the
nation,
because
the
last
four
years
have
involved
domestic
operations
which
this
country
has
not
seen
for
a
hundred
years?
E
I'll
say
I
take
that
back
for
for
at
least
since
the
60s
and
therefore
the
young
men
and
women
who
are
called
to
state
active
duty,
may
not
be
covered
by
re-employment
rights
to
the
same
degree
that
they
would
be
covered
by
the
federal
government
by
u.s
code.
But
there's
two
titles:
title
10
usc
and
title
32,
both
you're
under
federal
jurisdiction,
not
jurisdiction,
you're
under
federal
pay,
but
title
10
you're
under
the
jurisdiction
and
the
command
and
control
of
the
present
and
under
32
you're
under
the
command
control
of
your
governor.
E
However,
the
third
tier
state
active
duty,
which
does
not
invoke
necessarily
all
the
pay
status
that
you
receive,
nor
the
protections
that
the
federal
government
provides
to
the
national
guard
as
opposed
and
to
clear
up
the
reserve
issue.
The
reserve
is
always
on
title
10,
because
united
states
army
air
force
made
whatever
the
reserve
status,
is
it's
on
title
10.
E
So
that's
not
an
issue,
but
if
you're,
a
national
guard
member
you're
not
covered
by
re-employment
rights,
if
you're
on
state
active
duty
chief
is
that
is
that
a
fair
assessment
so
does
that
that
clears
it
up.
I'll
be
quiet,
but
I
mean
the
sponsor
is
spot
on.
This
is
an
issue,
and
certainly
the
the
women
women
in
charge
and
the
men
in
charge
at
cedco
drive
understand
that
this
is
an
issue
and
we're
trying
to
get
that
resolved.
A
A
F
Okay,
we're
back,
although
I'd
have
to
gavel
us
back
in
if
we
went
out
of
session
so
anyway,
we
are
back.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
chairman
eldridge.
I
appreciate
that
now
we
are
up
to.
Accordingly,
we
are.
Has
there
been
a
question
on
a
motion
on
the
bill?
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
and
we're
up
for
discussion,
and
I
think
I
think
it
was
you
chairman
brickin
that
was
up
first
or
was
it
your
call,
I'm
my
apology,
then
representative
powell,
you're
recognized
sir.
C
Extremely
important
and
relevant
question
alabama
and
kentucky
have
these
procedures
and
their
code.
If
we
get
to
the
same
point,
we
have
this
procedure
in
our
code
we
can
enter
into.
I
guess
I
use
the
word,
a
compact
which
would
allow
this
interchangeable
activity
of
the
various
units,
alabama,
tennessee
and
kentucky.
G
Representative
powell,
thank
you
sponsor.
So
basically,
if
I
understand
correct,
the
state
would
have
to
have
mirror
language
in
their
own
code,
similar
to
what
we're
proposing
here
and
at
that
point
we
would
offer
the
same
protections.
But
if
say,
there
was
a
state
that
didn't
have
this,
and
hopefully
other
states
will
adopt
this.
That's
correct,
then,
that's
great
well!
Well,
thank
you
for
taking
that
step.
I'm
glad
that
we're,
and
hopefully
the
states
that
surround
us
and
touch
us
will
follow
our
lead
on
this.
Thank
you
sponsor.
F
Very
good
good
line
of
questioning
all
right
further
questions
to
the
sponsor
question
has
been
called,
so
I
see
no
objections
to
the
calling
of
the
question.
Therefore,
we
will
proceed
to
vote.
Those
in
favor
of
house
bill
82,
please
say
aye.
Those
opposed
like
sign
passage
of
house
bill.
82
has
occurred,
congratulations,
mr
wright
and
representative
wright,
and
we
are
moving
on
to
you're
on
to
calendar
and
rules.
Sir,
thank
you
very
much.
C
F
Okay,
without
objections
without
objection
chairman,
where
is
chairman
hazelwood
we're
our
youth
there
you
are.
Would
you
please
make
your
way
up,
chair
lady
and
without
objections
committee
we're
going
to
go
back,
we're
going
to
go,
although
let's
move
to
the
hill
of
the
calendar,
we're
going
to
pick
house
bill
132
up
if
you're
prepared
to
present
that
chair
lady?
F
F
H
F
That
is
correct.
All
right
do
it.
We
did.
Did
I
get
a
motion?
I
got
a
second
on
that
amendment.
I
did
so
any
any
objections
to
the
calling
of
the
question
on
that.
No,
let's
vote
on
the
amendment,
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye,
oh
suppose,
like
sign
the
eyes
have
it.
We
are
back
now
on
the
bill
chair,
lady
hazelwood,
you're
recognized.
H
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
This
bill
just
increases
from
28
to
60
the
calendar
today
time
frame
that
a
charitable
gaming
event
is
required
to
be
held,
and
that's
because
of.
Like
many
other
things
because
of
covid,
we
had
some
situations
where
some
of
these
events
were
approved,
but
they
weren't
able
to
be
held
within
that
28
day
time
frame,
so
this
just
expands
it
to
60..
H
F
Certainly,
absolutely
thank
you
very
much
any
any
questions
to
chair
lady
hazelwood.
Following
her
explanation,
I
see
none.
Do
I
hear
a
question
all
right
all
right.
We
have
a
question
and
if
there's
no
objections,
we
are
ready
to
vote
those
in
favor
of
house
bill
one.
What
is
that
132?
As
amended?
Please
say:
hi
those
opposed
locks
on
the
eyes.
Have
it
and
chair
lady,
that
one
is
moving
to
calendar
and
rules.
F
H
Thank
you.
This
is
a
very
simple
bill.
It
simply
makes
clear
that
if
we
as
a
general
assembly,
wanted
to
call
ourselves
into
special
session,
you
know,
we've
all
had
the
experience
of
being
in
special
session
called
by
the
governor,
but
according
to
the
constitution,
we
have
a
right
as
a
general
assembly,
to
call
ourselves
into
session
that
requires
two-thirds
signatures.
F
Okay,
you
have
heard
an
explanation
of
the
bill
members
we
have
did
I
hear.
Did
you
say
we
got
a
question?
Oh
you
do
have
it.
This
got.
Questions
been
called
any
objections.
I've
seen
none,
let's
vote
those
in
favor
of
house
bill
129,
please
say
aye.
Those
opposed,
lock,
sign
and
passage
of
house
bill.
129
has
been
successful
and
you
are
taking
this
on
to
calendar
and
rules
chair,
lady
hazelwood.
Congratulations!
What
a
great
day
it's
been
for!
You
here.
Thank.
H
F
What
item
number
three
three!
It
is!
No!
No
it
isn't!
I'm
sorry.
It
is
number
two
yes
on
the
addendum
calendar
and
it
is
house
bill
99
and
it
is
chairman
jernigan.
He
is
with
us
he's
up
here,
he's
ready
to
go.
You're.
Do
I
hear
a
motion?
We
got
a
motion
and
we
have
a
second
wonderful
chairman
jernigan.
I
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
chairman
members.
Last
year
we
passed
the
the
dynamic
accessibility
act
and
what
they
did
was
allowed
to
change.
The
signage
were
accessible
with
a
new
image
and
and
getting
rid
of
the
word
handicap
to
avoid
a
physical
note.
Last
year
it
was,
it
was
only
for
those
signs
that
were
being
updated
or
through
renovation.
I
So
I
had
a
couple
of
commissioners
who
wanted
to
to
change
it
within
their
existing
resources,
but
the
law
wouldn't
let
them
so.
This
bill
would
amend
that
to
allow
departments
and
agencies
if
they
so
choose
to
update
the
signs
which,
within
their
existing
resources,
with
that
explanation,
I'll
be
happy
good
question,
good,
all
right,
very
good.
F
F
F
F
So
if
you
would,
would
you
take
your
pen
and
a
piece
of
paper
and
write
this
down
all
right
here
we
go.
We
would
like
to
know
again.
Everything
is
optional
here,
your
birthplace,
whether
it
be
you
know,
city
or
state,
whatever
birthplace,
two,
your
current
city
or
county
of
residence,
three,
the
district
that
you
represent,
and
it's
either
counties
or
cities;
communities;
four
again:
everything:
optional
education:
five,
let's
talk
about
professionally.
What?
Where
you've
been?
What
you've
done?
F
F
F
This
was
also
the
43rd
birthday
of
former
tennessee
governor
and
now
texas
war
and
political
figure,
sam
houston,
the
only
individual
who,
what
can
anyone
answer
that
that
is
correct?
Who
has
served
governor
for
two
different
states
and
finally,
in
1965,
it
was
on
this
day
that
the
united
states
air
force
began
operation,
rolling,
thunder
a
bombing
campaign
against
north
vietnamese
communist
militants
that
lasted
over
three
years.
F
We
certainly
would
not
want
to
recognize
our
march
birthdays.
Well,
we
will
begin
on
march.
The
4th
representative
chisholm
does
that
date
ring
a
bell
in
history.
For
you,
representative
chisholm
was
born
on
march,
the
4th
I'm
not
going
to
disclose
your
year,
nor,
but
we
do
not
want
to
forget
our
host
our
host
legislator,
we're
sitting
in
his
district,
none
other
than
bill
beck
march
21
bill.
F
That
is
correct.
Now
I
want
to
we're
going
to
start
around
the
room
and
actually
we're
going
to
alphabetically
we're
going
to
begin
at
the
rear
and
work
our
way
forward
with
an
introduction,
and
it
is
my
pleasure
to
recognize
chairman
john
mark
wendell.
If
you
would
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
yourself,
representative
wendell,.
E
Mr
chairman,
I

correct,
that's,
but
it's
good

be
here.
It's
good
to
work
with
each
of
you
and

two

a
little
bio
about

she
stated
and
she's
loved
by

She
stated
that
she
had
been
happily
divorced
for
a
long
time
now,
and
that
lady
knows
exactly
who
I'm
referring
to

Would
you
like
to
proceed
then,
to
give
us
some
bio.
D
F
D
Live
in
dixon
tennessee
I
represent
the
78th
district,
which
is
dixon
and
cheatham
county.
I've
been,
I
guess,
the
furthest
I've
been
is
to
taiwan.
I
did
travel
there
once
I
serve
on
the
ops
state,
government
and
civil
justice.
My
family
is,
I
have
four
wonderful
children
and
five
fabulous
awesome.
Grandchildren
and
most
of
them
are
girls,
so
we
have
one.
D
We
have
a
son
and
a
grandson
and
he's
the
first
boy
that
we've
had
in
like
40
years,
so
we
don't
quite
know
what
to
do
with
him,
but
we're
learning,
but
he's
he's
turned
four
and
he's
doing
really.
Well,
so
we're
proud
of
all
my
family,
my
hobbies.
Another
thing
you
may
not
know
about
me:
I
do
like
to
knit
I'm
not
good
at
it,
but
I
do
like
it.
D
It
takes
a
lot
of
concentration,
so
I
have
to
do
a
little
at
a
time
and
I
lose
my
place
and
my
sister
comes
and
helps
me
find
my
place
so
and
I
like
to
read
so
thank
you.
I've
enjoyed
the
state
committee,
I'm
not
sure
how
long
I've
been
on
here-
