Gather
in

I
with

in

when

they're
going

and

and
Leah
and
Anna
who's,
been

the
gun,
violence
epidemic
in
our
state
and
want
to
see
us
take
action.
Thank,
You,
For,
Fighting,.
N
O
P
Thank
you
Mr,
Speaker
and
members.
It
was
four
years
ago
today
that
my
mom
passed
away
and
every
year
I
would
want
to
say
something
and
I
would
start
crying.
I.
Think
Johnny
Garrett
thought
something.
Bad
had
happened
to
me
last
year,
but
I
just
wanted
to
take
just
a
moment
to
honor
her
and
she
loved
her
family
fiercely
she
loved
her
country.
She
was
born
in
1921,
so
grew
up
during
the
Depression
World
War
II.
P
You
know
that
that
generation
and
she
taught
me
resilience
because
of
what
all
they
had
gone
through.
I
had
a
brother
and
an
older
sister
and
she
I
had
her
only
grandchildren,
so
I'm
her
favorite,
but
she
moved
to
Nashville
back
in
the
80s
and
she
worked
for
South
Central
Bell
at
the
time,
and
she
was
that
generation
they
they
went
to
work
when
they
were
sick,
and
so
that
was
on
Second
Avenue.
So
she
moved
over
here
to
Capitol
Towers
because
she
was
going
to
walk
to
work
every
day.
P
P
She
loved
the
news
and
the
politics,
and
so
one
day
when
I
went
to
see
her,
she
asked
me
she
said:
do
you
see
that
man
across
the
hall
she
was
in
a
nursing
care
facility
in
her
last
days
and
I
said
yes,
ma'am
and
she
said
he's
going
to
be
our
next
president
and
that's
I.
Try
not
to
laugh
and
I
said.
Well,
how
do
you
know
and
she
said
well,
he
gave
a
speech
and
I
said
well.
P
What
did
he
say
and
she
goes
well
I
can't
remember,
but
if
you
heard
it
you'd
vote
for
him,
so
so
when
I
knew,
that
was
a
love
of
her
life
that'd
be
interested.
So
it's
important
why
I
say
listen
to
your
family
members,
even
if
they
tell
you
this
story
is
over
and
over
because
I
hope
they
don't
go
through
then
Alzheimer's
thing,
but
but
yes,
things
will
make
sense.
You'll
know
why
they're
talking
about
it
in
a
different
way
and
so
I,
just
I
love.
P
Q
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker
I
have
a
precious
little
blonde,
curly
hair
blue-eyed
little
granddaughter.
That's
going
to
be
five
this
weekend,
Olivia
Scarlet
character
and
I
just
want
to
wish
her
a
happy
birthday
and
to
let
her
know
how
much
she
is
blessed,
her
Paulie
and
I.
So
we
love
you
Olivia,
happy
birthday.
R
T
T
T
If
I
could
just
say
a
prayer
for
him,
Mr
Speaker
Lord
just
bless
this
General
Assembly
give
us
wisdom
and
discernment
for
the
problems
that
we
face
today,
give
us
Common,
Sense,
Common,
Sense,
common
sense
for
Effective
legislation
that
could
help
curb
the
violence
that
we're
seeing
across
our
state
that
we're
seeing
in
Laverne,
Smyrna,
Murfreesboro,
Nashville
and
Memphis
and
Lord.
Let
us
not
ever
forget
the
memory
of
Kyle
yorlitz
who
had
such
a
great
life
ahead
of
him
that
was
sadly
taken.
Thank
you.
Mr
Speaker
welcome
to
honoring.

Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
currently,
there's
no
statutory
time
frame
that
requires
a
health
licensure
board
to
issue
a
license.
This
bill
establishes
the
time
frame
for
medical
examiners,
osteopathic
examination,
nursing,
Physicians
assistance,
which
is
45
days
and
establishes
the
time
frame
for
Board
of
alcohol
and
drug
abuse,
counselors,
which
is
60
days,
and
that
with
Mr
Speaker
I
renew
my
motion.
Julie.
A
AA
AC
AD
A
A
AC
Does
a
few
years
ago
we
passed
the
ability
to
for
us
to
place
Wagers
online.
Here
in
Tennessee,
we
created
a
sports
wagering
advisory
Council.
What
this
bill
does
it
does
if
you
clean
up
things
like,
for
example,
removes
the
words
advisory
from
the
council,
because
they're
really
no
longer
in
an
advisory
position.
So
it's
clean
up
in
that
way,
and
then
it
does.
Z
AC
Handle
fee
on
gross
revenues
coming
in
for
those
the
handle
and
that's
the
wages
that
are
that
are
placed
and
also
there's
a
750
000
yearly
amount.
That's
due
for
these
folks
we're
going
to
make
that
on
a
tiered
structure
based
off
the
revenues.
That's
coming
in
as
I
understand
it.
This
is
not
going
to
decrease
the
amount
of
funds
that
comes
to
the
state
to
be
reallocated
for
certain
things
that
was
within
that
bill.
A
AB
AC
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker
members.
What
this
bill
does
currently,
your
elected
sheriffs
are
required
to
have
a
bond
and
if
something
happens
with
a
sheriff's
deputy
that
causes
a
lawsuit
to
be
initiated,
then
folks
can
sue
on
that
Bond
right
now,
there's
currently
no
statute
of
limitations
on
that.
It's
just
kind
of
wide
open
out
there,
so
I'm
just
placing
a
one-year
statute
limitations
on
that
it
won't.
AC
A
AB
AC
AF
AC
AC
I
know
representative
bolzo
had
he
and
I
had
those
conversations
he
he
probably
understands
that
portion
of
this
bill
really
better
than
I,
do
to
be
honest
with
you,
so
I,
don't
think
it
causes
any
sort
of
or
changes
any
mechanism
that
would
put
anyone
in
a
an
adverse
situation.
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
in
line
with
our
current
governmental
tort
liability
acts,
procedures.
I,
think
that's
in
that
in
that
act,
so
it's
kind
of
outside
of
the
scope,
but
really
what
I
intended
to
do
here?
AC
AF
Thank
you,
Mr,
Speaker,
and,
and
that's
that's
a
one
year
set.
Your
limitations
has
always
been
a
concern,
regardless
of
whether
or
not
it
applies
in
across
the
board,
but
the
the
60-day
default
language,
whether
or
not
it's
in
line
with
the
GTLA
or
not
generally,
when
people
fail
to
respond
to
a
lawsuit
there,
you
can
move
for
default
if
they
just
haven't
bothered
to
respond
to
the
lawsuit
and
it's
generally
after
service
of
30
days
or
60
days.
AF
In
this
case,
and
now
we're
If
instead
of
being
found
in
default,
they're
just
being
having
been
denied
all
allegations
without
even
making
the
effort
to
respond
to
the
complaint.
So
that's
the
source
of
my
concern
I
understand
what
you're
saying
bringing
into
compliance
with
GTLA,
but
that
is
a
source
of
concern.
Thank
you.
Mr
Speaker.
M
AB
AC
Be
happy
to
say,
for
example,
if
you're
shopping
in
a
grocery
store,
pushing
your
buggy
something
that's
built
on
the
floor,
you
slip
and
fall
and
hurt
yourself
and
that
grocery
store
knew
that
that
substance
was
on
the
floor
and
it
could
be
a
danger
for
you
or
your
family
or
your
friends.
You
fail
and
you
hurt
yourself
right
now
in
Tennessee,
in
order
to
you'd
have
to
file
a
lawsuit,
claiming
they
were
negligent
premises,
liability
case
or
something
like
that.
AC
M
AG
G
AC
Don't
think
if
the
county
fails
to
respond,
that
there
are
civil
penalties
or
penalties
I
think
it
would
be
more
of
a
situation
if
they
don't
respond,
then
you
just
move
forward
with
motions
to
enforce
or
I
think
there
would
be
motions
practiced
in
place
at
that
point.
At
that
point
in
time,
motions
are
written
documents
asset
in
the
court
to
do
things
or
not
do
things
on
certain
cases.
AC
M
A
M
Had
to
go
through
the
legal
process
go
to
court,
get
the
motion
all
these
things,
because
the
county
in
this
case
might
refuse
to
respond
and
what
I'm
worried
about
it
is
there's
a
way
right,
because
I've
had
to
sue
some
corporations
and
things
before
I'm
trying
to
hurt
people
so
I
understand
the
process.
The
thing
here
is:
I
I.
Think
if
you
have
this
default
or
denial
language,
but
you
aren't
initially
ensuring
that
these
counties
are
proactive
in
their
response
to
now
the
person
who's,
injured,
right
and
I'm
really
concerned.
M
M
AH
The
lack
of
response
by
the
county
or
or
whomever
are
there
examples
where
they're
would
be
conditions
that
the
victim
may
experience
where
there's
either
lack
of
knowledge
of
the
injury.
Let's
say
brain
damage
or
something
that
something
that
doesn't
show
up
either
doesn't
show
up.
Until
after
the
one
year,
statue
of
limitations
has
run
or
the
some
other
condition
where
the
victim
is
not
able
to
take
advantage
of
fouling.
The
suit.
AC
Let
me
answer
your
question,
though
there
are
mechanisms
within
the
wall
to
where,
if
someone's
injured
and
that
injury
doesn't
appear
that
that
it
they
can,
that
statue
can
be
told
so
to
answer
your
question.
A
person
that
has
an
injury
that
doesn't
appear
has
an
injury
from
an
accident
that
was
no
fault
of
their
own
does
appear
later
in
life.
Then
there
are
mechanisms
in
the
law
that
would
protect
that
person
and
preserve
their
ability
to
pursue
a
cause
of
action
against
an
organization
or
individual
that
harmed
them.
AH
A
AJ
AI
A
D
D
AK
A
U
You
Mr
Speaker
members,
I
hope
this
will
be
a
bill
that
we
could
all
come
together
on
and
support.
So
there
are
773
students
last
year
that
apparently
finished
their
undergraduate
degree
in
three
years
when
they
reached
their
fourth
year
of
eligibility
for
Hope
Scholarship,
they
were
told
sorry
you
did
too
well.
You
can't
have
that
funding
for
your
Graduate
Studies,
that's
wrong.
U
In
my
humble
opinion,
these
students
that
are
overachievers
that
are
really
really
just
putting
their
nose
to
the
grindstone
and
finishing
college
early
should
be
able
to
use
that
last
year
of
Hope
Scholarship
the
same
as
an
undergraduate
that
would
for
that
additional
year,
full
disclosure
I
went
off
to
diversity
of
Tennessee
Knoxville
as
a
first
generation
college
student
didn't
know
what
I
was
doing
and
I
went
in
on
the
three-year
plan
and
left
five
years
later.
I
would
not
be
eligible
for
this.
U
However,
had
this
been
in
existence,
it
would
give
me
an
incentive
and
any
other
student
out
there
to
really
really
try
what
they
can
to
to
get
finished
in
three
years
and
I'll
leave
you
with
this.
They
don't
even
measure
now
the
four-year
college,
graduation
rate
or
the
five-year
the
last
presentation
I
went
to
earlier
this
year.
Was
they
look
at
a
six-year
undergraduate
college?
Graduation
rate
at
some
point,
you
truly
are
just
a
lifetime
learner
at
that
juncture.
I
hope
that
this
bill
will
help
students
really
get
in
there.
U
Take
advantage
of
their
studies
do
what
they
can
to
finish
and
then
be
rewarded
for
that
hard
work
that
they
put
in
this
comes
directly
from
a
teacher
in
my
district,
whose
child
was
in
this
scenario
several
years
ago
and
I.
This
came
way
too
late
to
help
his
daughter
but
Charlie
Jackson's,
watching
I'm
sure
today
and
I
appreciate
you
bringing
this
to
me
because
I
would
not
have
known
about
this
issue,
but
for
a
constituent
coming
to
be
insane.
This

You
I

that's
predominantly
folks
who
are
55

older
and
so
elder

and
this
issue
is
something
really
important:
I
I'm
reading
the
amendment
didn't
realize
that
we
were
also
thinking
about
an
increased
penalty
to
a
felony
and
I
know.
This
punitive
nature
is
something
that
our
body
has
been
doing
for
a
lot
of
things
and

B

You
Mr
Speaker
this
bill
incentivizes
and
encourages
gun
owners
and
citizens
in
Tennessee
to
to
enroll
and
complete
gun
safety
courses.
Most
of
those
courses
cost
between
35
to
45
dollars.
This
gives
an
incentive
of
thirty
dollars
and
then
they
will
pay
the
rest
as
a
copay,
Mr
Speaker
I
renew
my
motion.
A

A

A
Speaker
I
renew
my

Chairman
laughter,
you
renews
the
motion
any
discussion
on
the
bill,
so
you
know
any
objection
to
the
questions
see
none
all
those
in
favor
of
Senate
Bill
1275
vote
out
when
the
bell
rings.
Those
opposed
vote.
No,
as
they
remember,
cast
a

they
may
always
change
their

Lambert.
A
AN
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker.
This
bill
is
about.
We
actually
named
it
the
drug
of
a
living
dead
act
and
what
it
is
is
about
xylazine
also
known
as
the
zombie
drug.
It's
a
non-opioid
Veterinary
tranquilizer
used
on
horses
and
cattle,
which
has
been
connected
to
several
drug
overdoses
and
across
the
country,
including
Tennessee.
The
substance
is
being
used
now
to
cut
Fentanyl
and
meth.
In
the
event
of
this
affected
overdose
experts
recommend
giving
the
open
dose
reversal.
AO
A
AN
A
AN
You
Mr
Speaker
in
2018
the
general
assembly
enacted
the
promising
Reclamation
Act
of
Tennessee
directing
the
governor
to
pursue
the
state
oversight
of
the
ACT
known
as
Primacy,
while
promising
remains
an
important
gold
is
vital
that
the
state
operated
program
be
fiscally
responsible
in
the
state's
effort
to
obtain
promising.
We
learned
that
many
of
the
sites
were
under
bonded
and
that
there
was
a
33
million
dollars
that
the
federal
government
was
liable
for
and
it
would
be
transferred
to
us
and
a
lot
of
these
findings.
L
AN
And
thank
you
for
reminding
me
of
that.
What
it
was
we
we
did
find
that
everything
went
well,
but
we
found
out
that
there
was
33
million
dollars
that
were
under
bonded,
that
we
didn't
know
about
at
that
time
that
the
osm
had
just
had
under
bonded
these
particular
sites.
So
they
either
have
to
get
that
money
from
The
Operators
or
come
up
with
that
money
before
we
wanted
to
take
the
program
over
so
that
that's
the
reason
for
the
pause
representative,
Freeman.
A
D
A
D
AN
A
AF
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker
and
I
notice,
here,
Mr,
sponsor
from
the
fiscal
note
that
only
the
cities
of
Knoxville
and
Nashville
Davidson
County
will
be
losing
local
expenditures,
so
I
suspect
this
is
directly
impacting
them
to
some
extent.
Can
you
explain
to
me
exactly
how
those
cities,
or
any
others,
are
infringing
on
the
rights
that
you're
seeking
to
protect
here
specifically.
AN
AF
A
AN
Yes,
this,
this
law
is
basically
prohibiting
anything
the
agenda
21
project
that
was
trying
to
expand
the
restrictions
of
private
property
rights
from
the
United
Nations
in
the
2030
agenda
agenda
for
sustainable
development
from
the
United
Nations
United,
Nations
proposal,
reaching
net
zero
emissions
by
2050
or
any
other
national
law
or
plan
that
impacts.
The
Constitution
of
the
United
States
chairman
Clement.
Thank.
AF
You
Mr,
Speaker
and
I
appreciate
that
I'm
looking
at
the
legislation
and
I
I
just
don't
know
what
Agenda
21
by
the
United
Nations
in
1992
is
or
what
the
2030
agenda
for
sustainable
development
is.
Are
you
is
it
did
I
hear
you
mentioned
that
it
deals
with
emissions
of
some
sort
or
environmental
issues.
AN
AF
AN
AF
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker.
Well,
of
course,
international
law
doesn't
control
our
constitution
or
any
of
our
laws
that
we
govern
ourselves
under
that
Constitution.
So
I,
I,
guess
I'm
a
little
confused
here.
Why
we're
passing
a
law
to
limit
States
abilities
and
localities
abilities
to
comply
with
laws
designed
to
protect
our
environment
that
are
within
the
bounds
of
the
US
Constitution
and
I
may
be
off?
But
that's
what
I
hear
you
saying
that
we're
doing
international
law
Assad.
A
AN
AQ
AN
AF
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
well,
okay,
I,
I,
just
yet
to
to
hear
any
grounds
why
International
actually
threatens
us,
because
we
govern
ourselves
in
the
state
I
understand
preventative
if
we
were
doing
something
preventative
that
was
actually
legally
possible
to
be
a
threat.
That'd
be
one
thing
but
anyway,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mr
Speaker.
AR
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
looking
at
the
17
sustainable
development
goals
laid
out
by
the
United
Nations
that
the
representative
is
challenging,
let's
go
through
them:
no
poverty,
zero,
hunger,
good
health
and
well-being,
quality
education,
gender
equality,
clean
water
and
sanitation,
affordable
and
clean
energy,
decent
work
and
economic
growth,
industry,
Innovation
and
infrastructure,
reduced
inequality,
sustainable
cities
and
communities,
responsible
consumption
and
production,
climate
action,
Life,
Below
water,
life
on
land,
peace
and
Justice
through
strong
institutions
and
Partnerships.
To
achieve
the
goal,
I,
don't
understand
why
these
are
things
that
we
would
oppose
as
a
state.
AR
This
bill
seems
like
it's:
it's
rooted
in
a
conspiracy
theory
that
somehow
the
United
Nations
is
trying
to
override
our
local
decisions
when
what
these
goals
and
what
the
sustainable
development
goals
are
laying
out
is
that
we
are
not
an
island
that
we
are
members
of
a
global,
World
house,
a
global
community.
And
then,
when
we
look
at
the
issue
of
the
climate
crisis,
we
have
to
address
it
as
a
world.
AR
AR
The
Mississippi
River
has
been
at
its
lowest
level,
we've
experienced
tornadoes
and
floods,
and
so
we
we
should
be
working
with
the
International
Community
as
a
nation
as
a
Beloved
Community
to
advance
these
interests
laid
out
by
the
United
Nations
and
so
I.
Just
think
that
again,
this
is
a
very
troubling
proposal.
That's
rooted
in
conspiracy
theories,
as
rooted
in
this
type
of
exceptionalism
and
and
and
very
dangerous
anti-human
rights,
anti-democracy
Frameworks,
that
that
is
a
large
part
of
this
body.
AN
Oh,
thank
you
for
that
question
and,
first
of
all,
when
I
was
in
high
school
in
1970,
Time
Magazine
came
out
the
front
page.
Article
said
the
Ice
Age
cometh
we're
going
into
a
global
freeze.
Well,
the
program
started
up
a
few
years
ago
about
global
warming.
All
of
a
sudden
we
figured
out,
we
don't
have
global
warming,
so
they
changed
it
to
climate
change.
Climate
change
is
just
a
way
of
risk
redistribution
of
wealth.
AN
There
is
no
climate
change,
we're
always
going
to
have
climate
change,
because
the
Ice
Age
never
came,
and
also
the
heat
engage
or
global
warming
never
came,
which
is
why
they
changed
it
to
climate
change
and
you
can
sit
there
and
argue,
although
all
you
want
to
about
that,
but
we
all
know
the
truth.
A
second
of
all
this
particular
bill
doesn't
deal
with
a
lot
of
things
that
you
were
talking
about.
This
particular
Bill
deals
with
property
rights,
not
some
of
the
other
goals
that
you
were
talking
about,
but
yeah.
AN
Maybe
we
are
part
of
an
International
Community
in
one
way,
but
the
United
Nations
has
shown
they
voted
against
the
United
States.
In
so
many
different
ways,
we
are
not
obligated
to
do
what
the
United
Nations
tells
us
to
do,
and
we
never
will
be
because
we
have
a
Constitution
of
the
United
States
and
we
have
a
constitution
of
the
state
of
Tennessee.
We're
not
obligated
to
the
United
Nations
in
any
way.
AR
AR
Your
District
looks
at
what
you
said,
because
that
is
very
troubling
that
we're
challenging
science
we're
challenging
reality
and
we're
living
in
this
alternative
Universe
of
conspiracy
theories
that
are
not
rooted
in
fact,
and
not
rooted
in
what
we
can
see
with
our
own
eyes
and
what
we're
experiencing
in
the
world
right
now
and
so
I
I,
just
I
have
no
other
words,
but
let
us
invest
in
education.
So
we
do
not
have
lawmakers
who
have
this
mentality.
AS
AS
AN
Thank
you
representative.
This
particular
Bill
does
not
deal
with
that.
This
is
just
dealing
with
property
rights.
We
kind
of
got
off
the
rail
there
a
minute
ago,
but
if
you
look
at
the
bill,
it
says
restricting
private
property
rights
or
other
international
law
that
contravenes
with
the
United
States
Constitution
or
with
our
constitution.
So
this
is
the
one
that
and
there
you
know,
this
doesn't
really
have
anything
to
do
with
poverty
or
any
of
the
other
parts
of
the
agenda.
21.
It's
just
dealing
with
the
property
rights
only.
AN
Yes,
I
I
did
reference
Agenda
21,
because
the
private
property
rights
are
under
Agenda
21,
some
of
the
things
that
they
deal
with
and
that's
what
I
was
talking
about
a
while
ago
extends
the
prohibition
of
restrictions
of
private
private
property
rights
under
the
agenda
21.
But
this
one
is
just
a
dealing
with
with
private
property
rights
only
that
they
cannot
restrict
our
our
private
property
rights
that
contravene
with
our
constitution.
Representative
love
help.
AN
AS
AN
A
AA
A
AJ
A
J
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker
members,
House
Bill
40,
as
amended,
prohibits,
sanctioned
non-residential
aliens
sanctioned
foreign
businesses
sanctioned
foreign
governments
or
their
agents,
trustees
or
fiduciaries
from
acquiring
real
property
in
Tennessee
if
they're
respected,
sanctioned
country
or,
let's
see
respective
country,
is
on
the
office
of
foreign
asset
control
of
the
United
States
Department
of
Treasury
sanction
program
and
Country
information
list
to
be
more
specific,
the
United
States
Department
of
Treasury
on
their
website.
If
you
go
to
the
ofact
the
office
of
foreign
assets
control,
you
could
link
down
to
the
sanctions
program
and
Country
information.
J
Ofac
administers
a
number
of
different
sanction
programs.
The
sanctions
can
be
either
comprehensive
or
selective,
using
the
blocking
of
assets
and
trade
restrictions
to
accomplish
foreign
policy
and
National
Security
goals.
This
has
kept
up
to
date
daily.
So
at
any
time
you
can
go
there,
click
on
the
link
to
find
out
why
they
were
sanctioned.
J
AT
AT
My
question
is,
as
we
continue
to
see
the
arise
of
different
ideologies
like
fascism
across
the
country
and
we
might
see
an
increase
in
sanctioned
Nations
I
hope,
that's
not
the
case,
but
we
certainly
see
that
this
is
alarming.
The
spread
of
very
scary
dictatorships
and
thoughts,
and
some
of
these
are
taking
place
and
even
Nations.
We
used
to
consider
allies
if
a
country
is
added
to
the
sanctioned
list
down
the
line,
but
it's
currently
not
on
a
sanctioned
list.
AT
J
Chairman
Reedy,
thank
you
Mr
Speaker.
Of
course
we
cannot
go
back
in
time,
so
any
of
those
countries
that
are
already
on
the
sanction
list.
We
can't
take
their
property
away,
keep
in
mind
many
of
let's
talk
about
Japan,
China
Germany.
They
in
speaking
specifically
to
Chattanooga.
They
leased
the
property
so
we're
not
stopping
the
leasing
of
this
property.
We're
just
talking
about
the
ownership
of
the
property
specific.
J
Getting
to
your
question,
of
course,
if
they're
on
the
sanction
list
now
and
they
are
registered
with
the
Secretary
of
State's
office,
they
cannot
purchase
that
property,
but
once
they
come
off
then
you're
correct
and
they
can.
They
can
purchase
property
but
moving
forward.
If
they
get
back
on
that
list,
they
have
to
dissolve
that
property
in
the
state
of
Tennessee.
AT
Thank
you
for
that
answer,
and
I
now
realize
we
can't
go
backwards,
so
if
countries
are
added
one
question
just
to
be
clear,
because
I
had
a
lot
of
my
constituents.
I
represent
a
very
blessed
to
represent
a
very
diverse
Community,
where
we
have
a
lot
of
different
constituents
from
all
over
the
world
who
have
proudly
called
my
District
home.
Now
this
in
no
way
would
impact
generation.
Second
generation
is
the
bills.
This
now,
as
written,
does
not
impact.
AT
J
Reading,
let
me
read
from
the
amendment
for
clarity:
one
more
time
prohibited,
sanctioned
non-residential
aliens,
so
it
could
be
sanctions
on
a
person
or
a
business
foreign
on
the
sanctioned
list.
Sanction
foreign
businesses,
which
I
just
stated,
sanctioned
foreign
governments
or
their
agents,
trustees
or
fiduciaries
from
acquiring
the
real
property.
Did
that
representative
answer,
your
question
represent.
AT
A
AF
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
so
just
follow
up
on
that
representative,
Powell
and
I,
and
and
several
others
represent
Rich
diverse
districts,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
second
generation
immigrants,
some
of
which
are
dreamers.
Would
this
prevent
them
from
purchasing
property?
Because
you
know
the
American
dream
they
say
is
to
grow
up
by
property?
Buy
a
house?
Is
this
law
going
to
prevent
those
hard-working
individuals
who
had
so
much
to
our
community
from
purchasing
property
in
the
United
States
in
this
state
chairman.
J
Chairman
Brady
all
right,
let
me
let
me
retract
that,
because
it's
sanctioned
non-residential
aliens,
so
in
other
words,
if
if
their
name
is
not
specific
on
that
list
is
being
sanctioned.
Yes,
I
would
believe.
I
mean
I'm,
not
sure
what
the
total
Tennessee
code
is
as
far
as
ownership
of
of
aliens
to
to
the
state
of
Tennessee.
That's
I,
don't
sell
real
estate,
so
I
don't
know
how
they
take
care.
If,
if
there
was
a
dreamer
currently
on
the
list,
the
question
would
be:
can
they
currently
buy
property
in
Tennessee
and
I?
AF
All
right,
Mission,
Mr
speaker,
thank
you.
So
the
ambiguity
here
is
what
concerns
me,
because
we
have
one
of
the
largest
Kurdish
population.
You
know
outside
in
this
hemisphere,
so
here
in
Nashville,
and
so
they
helped
our
military
many
of
these
individuals.
They
fled
their
country,
which
I
believe
was
sanctioned,
and
so
are
they
going
to
be
punished
by
this
law
and
prohibited
from
having
a
better
life
for
their
family
and
their
children
and
not
be
able
to
live
the
American
dream
that
they
saw
and
they
earned
by
helping
our
Armed
Forces
overseas.
AF
A
J
So
if
we
go
into
the
future
and
the
Kurdish
population
that
are
here
and,
of
course
that's
where
a
lot
of
the
the
folks
came
and
fight
or
fought
or
served
in
our
military
are
working
towards
getting
their
citizenship
that
this
would
not
prevent
them
from
owning
property,
but
as
far
as
maybe
in
the
in
the
future.
It's
it's
a
good
question.
It's
I
don't
have
an.
AF
Thank
you,
Mr,
Speaker
and,
and
therein
lies
the
problem
and
Mr
chairman
I-
don't
know
that
you're
intending
to
do
anything
harmful
here.
My
my
problem,
therein
lies
with
the
ambiguity
of
the
bill
itself
and
whether
or
not
it
will
unintentionally
do
harm
to
refugees
and
immigrants
that
I
have
that
are
representing
in
several
of
us
in
this
room.
Have
that
pleasure
of
representing
so
therein
lots
of
my
objection
to
the
legislation.
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman.
Thank
you
speaker.
M
Thank
you
speaker
and
sponsor
if
I
I
just
have
a
few
questions,
because
I
want
to
make
sure
we
understand
the
intent
of
the
legislation,
but
also
just
because
of
some
of
the
ambiguity,
because
I
think
I
know
what
you're
trying
to
do
that
it
may
be
best
potentially
to
either
roll
it
and
get
some
answers.
So
we
can
talk
about
it
or
potentially
not
not.
Take
it
up
right
now,
because
you
said
there's
this
list
by
the
state
department.
Is
that
correct
generally.
J
M
Represent
Pearson,
thank
you,
so
that
was
one
of
the
questions.
So
Department
of
Treasury
has
a
list
of
people
who
are
being
sanctioned
by
the
U.S
federal
government,
for
whatever
reasons,
autocracy,
dictatorships,
fascist
regimes
that
are
taking
away,
Democratic
principles
rights.
All
these
other
things
creating
War.
Okay,
there's
this
list
that
exists
in
the
Department
of
Treasury
and
your
intent
is
that
the
same
people
who
the
Department
of
Treasury
is
sanctioned.
Sanctioning
are
not
people
who
should
own
property
in
the
state
of
Tennessee
right.
J
Generating
that
is
correct,
now
here's
here's
my
concern
and
that's
the
reason
for
the
bill.
Is
the
federal
government
supposed
to
be
protecting
our
borders
number
one,
but
also
the
sovereignty
of
the
United
States
of
America
and
unfortunately
they
have
turned
the
Blind
Eye
to
the
states
in
this
issue
and
what
we're
finding
it
are.
J
We
won't
amend
this,
but
it's
it's
in
motion
that
we
need
to
have
that
discussion
this
summer
and
to
find
out
those
Bad
actors
and
then
try
to
figure
out
how
to
stop.
Apparently,
in
their
opinion,
it's
legal
operation
that
we
need
to
put
our
arms
around
not
only
in
the
state
of
Tennessee,
but
all
50
states.
M
Okay,
I
was
trying
to
hear
you
all
the
way
through
it
got
a
little
bit
loud,
I
I'm
a
little
bit
more
concerned
now,
representative
than
I
was
even
before
I
got
up
here,
because
I
I
thought
we
were
going
in
the
same
a
similar
direction
as
it
relates
to
protecting
the
country.
The
state
from
people
who
are
being
sanctioned
by
the
federal
government
from
not
being
able
to
own
property,
manipulate
the
system
thing.
M
I
think
it
is
now
a
legislative
piece
of
legislation
to
make
some
sort
of
statement
against
the
federal
government
that
we
are
doing
enough
to
stop
brown-skinned
people
from
coming
into
our
country,
which,
which
isn't
the
the
type
of
legislation
that
we
should
be
supporting.
If,
indeed,
that
the
work
of
the
the
legislation
is
to
protect
our
communities
help
us
to
prevent
autocracy
and
dictators
from
exploiting
the
capitalistic
system
in
our
state.
M
When
we
know
that
a
lot
of
this
country's
benefits
have
come
from
the
work
done
by
immigrants
and
migrants
and
this
legislation
because
of
its
ambiguity,
but
also
now
the
more
clear
intention
isn't
a
good
piece
of
legislation
that
we
should
be
supporting,
and
it
needs
more
time
to
be
clarified
in
my
opinion
of
on
something
that
we
could
actually
pass
that
doesn't
have
any
racist
intent,
doesn't
have
any
exclusionary
intent
and
doesn't
proliferate.
This
really
unhelpful
and
wrong
narrative
that
immigrants
are
somehow
anti-tennessee
or
America.
AU
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
representative
I
think
you've
got
the
best
intent
on
on
your
legislate,
I'm,
not
as
concerned
as
my
colleague
was
because
Mexico's,
not
a
sanction,
Nation,
you
know
most
essential
American.
You
know
those
countries
are
not
saying
I,
think
you're,
aiming
at
countries
like
China
and
and
other
totalitarian
regimes,
but
my
fear,
along
with
what
you
know,
representative
Powell
representative
Clemens,
has
said
the
unintended
consequences
of
your
bill.
You
know
the
Afghani
translators
that
saved
many
American
lives.
The
Kurds
I've
got
a
huge
population
of
Kurds
in
my
district
as
well.
AU
AU
The
unintended
consequences
of
your
bail
are
going
to
hurt
people
that
have
saved
Americans
lives,
I
I,
don't
know
if
they're
and
as
well
as
dissidents
from
some
of
these.
You
know
totalitarian
countries
that
have
came
over
here
escaped
those
regimes
and
trying
to
have
a
better
life.
I
think
there
there's
possibly
got
to
be
a
way
to
mend
your
bill
to
do
what
you
want
to
do
without
harming
these
other
people.
AU
You
know,
maybe
we
can
figure
that
out
in
in
the
next
couple
of
hours,
I
don't
know,
but
I'd
ask
you
to
think
about
that
and
look
for
a
way.
Let's
amend
that
to
where
we,
you
know
these
people
that
have
come
from
these
sanctioned
countries.
The
Afghanistan's
Iraq
we're
not
harming
those
people
who
have
helped
Americans
that
have
fought,
and
you
know
many
of
them
their
lives.
Their
families
lives
have
been
sacrificed
to
help
Americans.
So
with
that
being
said,
I
just
think
about
that
representative.
Thank
you,
chairman.
AU
I'm,
just
asking
you,
you
know
it
can
hurt
to
roll
it
five
or
ten
bills.
You
know
if
it
comes
back
up,
you
know
you
got
the
numbers
to
pass
it.
Let's
just
look
at
this
see
if
there's
a
way
that
there's
not
unintended
consequences
to
harm
these
people
that
have
helped
Americans,
you
know
I'm
not
trying
to
do
anything
to
harm
your
bill.
I
just
don't
want
it
to
have
unintended
consequences
that
are
going
to
affect
a
lot
of
people
in
this
state.
V
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
sponsor,
thank
you
for
the
bill.
I
just
want
to
read
quickly.
Well,
first,
let
me
say:
the
intent
of
this
piece
of
legislation
is
to
ensure
that
the
Communist
Chinese
government
and
their
foreign
businesses
cannot
come
into
Tennessee
and
continue
to
buy
our
agricultural
land.
Let
me
just
read
directly
from
the
Department
of
Agriculture,
currently
as
its
latest
report,
which
is
March
1st
2023,
the
Chinese
currently
own
384
000
Acres
of
agricultural
land,
that
is
up
from
192
000
acres
in
2019..
This
piece
of
legislation
addresses
a
national
security
threat.
V
It
ensures
the
agricultural
land
of
the
state
of
Tennessee
is
not
owned
by
our
enemies
across
the
country
or
across
the
world,
and
so
chairman
Reedy,
thank
you
for
bringing
the
legislation.
I
think
the
intent
needs
to
be
clear.
If
you
were
from
a
sanctioned
country
or
if
you're
non-resident
alien,
you
don't
get
to
buy
Tennessee
agricultural
land
which
compromise
our
security.
Thank
you
for
bringing
the
bill.
AR
AR
AR
The
Foreigner,
for
you
are
once
foreigners
in
the
land
of
Egypt
I
think
that
this
bill
will
harm
the
people
of
my
district,
one
of
the
most
diverse
districts
in
the
state
of
Tennessee
people
who,
who
are
from
Egypt
people
who
are
from
Somalia
people
who
are
from
countries
who
are
here
as
part
of
our
Beloved
Community,
and
so
I
asked
you
my
brother,
that
you,
you
reconsider
your
actions.
We
heard
representative
Zachary
going
on
this
field
about
attacking
China
I
heard
you
bring
up
the
Border.
AR
But
let's
talk
about
what
this
really
is
going
to
do
it's
going
to
hurt
the
people
who
are
already
here
in
Tennessee,
who
are
just
simply
trying
to
make
it
who
are
simply
trying
who
are
the
ones
who
are
making
sure
that
our
hotels
are
clean,
Lord,
make
sure
that
this
capital
is
clean,
we're
making
sure
that
our
school's
children
get
safe
to
school.
These
are
the
people.
This
is
going
to
hurt.
AR
The
people
who
are
are
workers
who
are
sustaining
the
state,
our
agricultural
workers
and
so
I
do
not
believe
that
this
is
a
moral
Bill
and
and
I'm
very
troubled
and
I
have
to
ask
a
question.
You
said
that
this
bill
only
pertains
to
sanctioned
countries,
but
you
brought
up
the
Border.
Can
you
explain
why
you
brought
up
the
Border
in
your
commentary,
representative,
Reedy.
AR
AR
I
hope
my
colleagues
realize
that
unless
you
are
Cherokee
Choctaw
Shawnee
yucci,
that
you
are
foreigners
on
this
land,
that
this
land
is
stolen
land.
And
if
you
want
to
talk
about
borders
coming
here
and
taking
over
property,
it
was
your
ancestors
who
did
that
who
committed
genocide
against
a
group
of
people
and
took
land
over
violently
and
stole
this
land.
And
so
you
can
choose
not
to
answer
my
questions.
But
I
will
tell
the
truth
of
history
that
you
are
on
Stolen
land
and
now
you're,
trying
to
oppress
other
foreigners.
AR
None
of
these
countries
listed
on
this
list
are
European
countries.
None
of
that
what
we
heard
we
heard
China,
we
heard
Southern
countries,
we
heard
countries
in
the
Middle
East,
but
we
didn't
hear
one
European
country,
that's
not
by
accident
and
I,
asked
you
to
question
and
interrogate
how
you
can
oppress
other
foreigners
when
your
ancestors
came
here
as
foreigners.
AR
A
A
A
AJ
AA
D
I
would
like
to
start
by
saying
that
to
refer
to
another
member
by
their
name
is
inappropriate
pursuant
to
our
rules
and
the
Mason's
manual,
but
it
has
been
the
practice
of
this
body
that
if
a
member's
name
is
called
they
get
to
respond
and,
for
example,
yesterday
a
member's
name
was
called.
They
were
allowed
an
additional
five
minutes,
because
our
rules
say
when
a
members
is
recognized,
they
are
allowed
five
minutes.
D
X
X
D
Mr
Speaker,
it
is
a
parliamentary
principle
and
it
is
in
the
Mason's
manual
that
it
is
inappropriate
to
refer
to
another
member
by
name
when
that
has
happened,
all
I
can
speak
to
is
practice
and
what
the
rules
say
when
that
has
happened
in
this
body.
That
member
has
been
recognized
represent
Parkinson.
Thank.
D
A
X
If
that's
the
rules,
if,
if
that's,
if
it's
not
a
it's,
not
a
decision
as
to
whether
or
not
this
body
wants
to
continue
our
practice
or
follow
the
rules.
The
rules
say
what
the
body
is
supposed
to
do
and
when
that
happened
the
first
time
it
should
have
been
corrected.
I,
I,
didn't
I,
I,
didn't
know.
Mr
Speaker
can
I
continue.
Mr
Speaker
you.
D
X
D
A
point
of
order
is
the
Parliamentary
device
that
is
used
to
require
a
legislative
body
to
observe
its
own
rules
and
to
follow
established
parliamentary
practice.
If
a
member
feels
that
we
are
not
following
our
rules
or
parliamentary
practice,
the
correct
way
to
hand
to
address
that
is
through
a
point
of
order.
X
A
C
A
C
A
C
A
C
A
AA
A
A
AR
Question
was:
was
it
out
of
order
for
the
sponsor
to
bring
up
the
federal
government
and
open
borders?
Was
it
out
of
order
for
the
resident
from
Knoxville
to
bring
up
communist
China?
These
things
were
not
germane
to
the
bill,
so
were
those
were
those
commentary
out
of
order
and
why?
What
was
the
difference
of
treatment
between
those
members
and
myself,
foreign.
AR
E
E
You
Mr
Speaker.
This
bill
is
a
very
simple
bill.
It
does
not
change.
Any
state
law
does
not
close
any
primary
or
it
does
not
require
voter
party
affiliation.
It
simply
puts
up
a
warning
sign
an
eight
and
a
half
by
eleven
yellow
warning
sign
to
let
people
know
the
current
state
law
and
it's
something
very
important
that
has
occurred
this
year
that
we
did
not
know
previously.
Previously
it
was
a
Class
C
misdemeanor
for
people
to
knowingly
cross
over
into
the
other
person's
primary.
E
Without
an
intention
on
staying,
however,
we
discovered
an
odor
law
that
has
priority
of
what
is
a
Class
D
Felony
of
less
than
two
years
and
12
years.
Excuse
me
two
years
and
no
more
than
12
years,
and
it
also
has
a
five
thousand
dollar
minimal.
Fine,
since
now,
currently
people
are
being
prosecuted
for
doing
this
and
organizing
crossovers.
So
it's
extremely
important
for
the
state
to
at
least
put
us
simple,
yellow
warning
sign
up
at
precinct,
so
people
at
least
know
that
they
could
be
breaking
the
law,
but
again
this
law.
E
L
E
Chairman
Rudd,
thank
you,
Mr
Speaker.
You
asked
the
the
sign
of
Simply
States
this
it's
the
law.
Please
read:
it
is
a
violation
of
Tennessee
code,
annotated,
section,
271,
115,
B
and
punishable
as
a
crime
under
Tennessee
code,
annotated,
section,
219-102
or
section
2
19107.
If
a
person
votes
in
a
political
party's
primary
without
being
a
bona
fide
member
or
affiliated
with
that
political
party
or
to
declare
allegiance
to
that
party
without
the
intent
or
affiliate
or
to
affiliate
with
that
party,
which
is
the
current
state
law.
This
is
simply
warning
people
again.
E
People
are
currently
being
prosecuted
under
possible
felony
conviction
if
they
are
conspiring
to
get
people
to
vote
in
the
opposite
primary,
not
people
actually
voting
in
the
primary,
but
actually
conspiring
sending
out
emails.
Social
media
encouraging
people
to
cross
over
into
primary
to
effect
an
election.
E
Now
that
it's
been
discovered
that
this
is
a
I,
think
it's
a
1973
law
that
makes
it
a
classy,
felony
I,
don't
know
about
you,
but
I
think
we
at
least
owe
it
to
our
constituents,
regardless
of
their
reasoning
or
their
their
ignorance
of
the
law,
to
at
least
make
an
effort
to
warn
them
that
they
could
be
prosecuted,
and
this
is
a
simple,
yellow,
eight
and
a
half
by
eleven
sign
put
up
at
a
Precinct
when
they
registered
to
vote
when
they
register
in
to
vote
at
that
Precinct.
That's
all
it
does.
E
It
does
not
change
state
law,
it
does
not
create
the
felony,
it
simply
States
the
current
law
and
gives
the
warning
I
think
we
would
be
doing
a
severe
disservice
to
our
constituents
and
to
our
voters
and
to
the
citizens
of
Tennessee.
If
we
didn't
warn
them
that
they
could
be
prosecuted
under
with
severe
penalties.
E
L
And
I
think
that,
dumb
that
that
law
is
dumb
as
well
but
I
think
this
is.
This
is
just
going
to
discourage
people
to
to
to
take
a
hard
look
at
at
other
candidates.
In
other
parties,
I
mean
again,
we
don't
have
to
register
with
a
party
I'm
I
am
an
elected
Democrat
on
this
floor
and
I
can
vote
in
any
any
pro.
I
can
vote
for
anybody.
L
E
Chairman
Rudd
again
Mr
Speaker.
This
does
not
change
any
current
state
law.
It
does
not
intimidate
anyone.
It
does
not
punish
anyone.
It
does
not
find
anyone.
It
does
not
require
you
to
register
as
a
republican,
Democrat
or
independent
it
simply
States.
Under
current
state
law,
you
are
not
supposed
to
cross
over.
People
could
go
in
there
or
organize
an
effort
to
go
in
and
cross
over
and
have
face
very
severe
penalties,
because
for
the
last
20
years,
or
so
we
have
told
them
it's
a
Class,
C
misdemeanor,
that's
never
prosecuted.
E
M
A
E
Don't
know
before
this
year,
but
this
year,
I
believe
there
are
two
people
currently
under
indictment
and
the
Class
D
Felony
for
organizing
crossing
over
into
the
other
person's
primary,
because
they
publicly
knowledge
they
were
doing
it.
I
do
not
know
the
status
of
the
case
represent
Pearson,
okay,.
M
And
so
now
the
recommendation
is
to
put
a
sign
up
that
tells
people
crossing
over
and
political
parties
is
now
you
can
get
a
felony
for
it.
How
do
you
think
for
people
who
are
voting
I
mean
who
have
voted
Democratic
a
long
time
and
vote
for
a
republican
in
the
next
election?
Are
they
is
it
possible
for
them
to
be
prosecuted.
E
M
I'm
saying
I'm
trying
to
get
an
understanding
of
this
process
of
how
we're
Prosecuting
people
and
the
concern
of
folks
who
are
going
to
vote,
particularly
for
a
party
that
they're
not
typically
voting
for
what
this
sign.
What
is
it
signaling
to
them,
and
so
I'm
just
trying
to
get
an
understanding
of
you
who's,
bringing
forth
this
legislation?
E
As
far
as
the
bill
itself,
the
the
sign
as
you
notice,
it
mentions
that
it's
a
crime
and
it
mentions
the
section
of
code,
but
in
an
effort
not
to
intimidate
anyone,
I
did
not
use
the
word
felony
in
the
sign.
I
didn't
want
to
discourage
any
voters
or
secure
voters,
but
we
do
owe
them
legally.
We
need
to
let
them
know
they
could
be
breaking
the
law.
M
The
problem
that
I
have
is
the
voter
intimidation
aspect
of
connecting
our
voting,
our
election
process
to
criminality
in
any
way
with
signs
with
distributions,
with
the
information
that
we're
putting
out
and
what
the
actions
that
we
take
and
I
believe.
This
connects
something
that
we
want
to
encourage
people
to
do,
which
is
voting
to
some
form
of
criminality
for
something
that,
as
you
say,
is
one
hard
to
prove
and
two
very
rare
to
happen
in
the
first
place.
M
But
now
the
recommendation
is
we're
going
to
put
these
signs
on
every
polling
place
for
seven
million
people,
for
something
that
you've
already
admitted
doesn't
happen
very
much.
It's
rare
to
happen
using
your
words
here
and
now.
We're
connecting
criminality
with
these
signed
sign
signage
to
every
voter,
who
goes
and
casts
a
ballot
and
I
believe
that
that
type
of
action.
This
type
of
intention
can
discourage
people
from
voting,
but
also
confuse
folks
who
are
going
to
vote,
particularly
for
someone
that
they
don't
typically
vote
for.
E
You're
selectively,
using
part
of
my
words
as
I've
said,
it
is
now
becoming
a
common
practice
around
the
state
openly
for
individuals
to
tell
and
ask
other
people
in
an
effort,
organized
effort
in
the
last
couple
of
Elections
to
cross
over
and
affect
the
outcome
of
different
people's
primaries.
Those
are
the
people
that
are
being
prosecuted,
not
the
voters
and
they
are
those
are
easily
proven
because
they're
admitting
it
in
public
and
online
and
they're,
probably
under
the
assumption
that
it's
only
a
misdemeanor,
not
a
felony,
and
they
don't
realize
what
they're
doing
so.
E
E
What
50
years
old
that
we
they're
being
used
to
prosecute
people
that
are
organizing
people
to
cross
over
into
primaries,
and
we
need
to
let
them
know
and
make
the
public
aware
that
they
could
be
facing
very
severe
penalties.
I
again,
I
believe
we
would
be
doing
a
tremendous
disservice
and
we
have
a
legal
obligation
to
let
the
public
know
that
this
law
is
has
somewhat
changed
and
we
need
to
let
them
know
because
they're,
the
assumption
is
still
just
a
classy
misdemeanor
and
there's
no
consequences
for
it.
AV
We've
had
a
hard
enough
time,
members
figuring
out
what
the
rules
are
of
this
chamber,
much
less
understanding
when
they
go
to
The,
Ballot
Box
and
making
sure
that
their
vote
counts,
that
their
vote,
the
Integrity
in
that
vote,
and
so
I
just
want
you
to
explain
to
make
sure
that
this
particular
piece
of
legislation
does
just
that
that
ensures
the
Integrity
of
our
voting
process.
So
the
public
knows
what
laws
are
out
there
that
apply
to
how
they
vote.
Can
you
expand
on.
AR
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mr
Garrett,
you
know,
as
chairman
of
Elections
and
campaign,
Finance
I
have
worked
very
hard,
with
leadership
and
with
Secretary
of
State
and
with
director
Goins
to
make
sure
that
we
do
have
the
tightest
most
secure
election
process
in
the
entire
nation
and
in
fact
we
again
were
just
ranked
and
just
awarded
the
number
one
most
secure
election
of
any
state
in
the
nation
we
have
thank
you
week.
We
have.
We
have
secure
election
process,
we
have
an
open
and
fair
election
process.
E
AF
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker
and
I
appreciate
my
colleague
pointing
out
national
rankings
because
Tennessee
has
one
of
the
lowest
voter
turnouts
of
any
state
in
the
country
because
of
the
voter,
intimidation
and
suppression,
tactics
of
the
state
of
Tennessee-
and
this
is
yet
another
voter
intimidation
measure
designed
to
prevent
people
from
voting.
So
we
have
people,
we
have
districts
across
the
state
Tennessee
at
any
level,
without
a
Democrat
without
a
republican
candidate
voting
is
a
habit.
AF
AF
E
A
AF
This
says
any
election,
and
so,
if
I
walk
in
to
vote
for
the
mayor
of
Nashville
and
Davidson
County
in
a
non-partisan
election
and
there's
a
big
yellow
sign
that
says,
I
could
be
committing
a
crime
and
I
am
unsure
as
to
what
is
going
on,
because
the
reality
is
a
lot
of
people
may
not
understand.
They
may
not
understand
it's
a
crime.
They
may
not
understand
that
the
local
election
is
nonpartisan.
AF
E
AF
E
Chairman
Rudd
some
do
some
don't
some
are
held
November
and
that's
not
a
primary
day
summer.
Some
currently
are
held
in
off
off
times
we're
attempting
to
get
all
those
lined
up,
but
there's
a
lot
of
cities
across
the
state
that
hold
their
City
elections
in
November.
There
is
no
Primary
in
November,
Mr,
Clemens,
chairman.
A
AF
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
some
are,
some
are
some
are
going
to
be
intimidated?
Some
aren't
again.
We
continue
to
intimidate
voters
in
the
state
of
Tennessee
as
if
being
47th
worst
in
the
country
is
not
enough.
We're
going
to
continue
this
senseless
legislation
to
prevent
people
from
wanting
to
do
their
civic
duty,
and
that
is
shameful.
AF
A
E
Have
acknowledged
no
such
thing,
it
intimidates
no
one,
that's
your
words,
not
mines.
Again,
this
is
a
war,
a
simple
warning
sign.
We
don't
need
to
get
off
track
here
and
and
again,
I
renew
my
motion.
This
is
a
simple
warning
sign
to
help
our
voters
know
that
they
could
be
facing
a
felony,
and
we
owe
it
to
them
to
do
that.
A
A
A
D
F
F
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
Senate
Bill
1224
allows
the
court
to
send
the
defendant
convicted
of
two
or
more
criminal
offenses
to
consecutive
sentences.
If
the
defendant
is
sentenced
for
criminal
offense
involving
more
than
one
victim
and
the
court
finds
that
the
separate
consecutive
sentence
for
each
offense
is
in
the
best
interest
of
Justice
I
renew
my
motion.
M
F
M
This
way
of
thinking
this
acting
is
not
in
the
interest
of
our
communities.
It's
not
in
the
interest
of
our
state.
Judges
are
already
from
the
oath
that
they
are
swearing
using
their
discretion
and
determining
who
will
serve
sentences
consecutively
or
concurrently,
and
this
legislation
is
only
signaling,
the
desire
potentially
of
this
body
to
further
incarcerate
people,
and
it's
particularly
concerning
coming
from
a
community
that
is
experiencing
over
incarceration
and
mass
incarceration
into
private
prisons
and
into
institutions
that
do
nothing
that
actually
help
to
improve
our
society.
M
This
is
not
necessary
to
the
point
that
you
have
mentioned.
Judges
have
not
said
I,
don't
know.
If
I
can
do
this
consecutively
or
concurrently,
that
isn't
a
real
issue
but
bringing
it
Forward
working
to
cement
this
in
our
legislation
in
our
state
is
only
signaling
that
we
desire
for
there
to
be
more
consecutive
sentences
of
people,
which
is
the
extension
of
incarceration
for
people
in
our
communities
and
again,
every
time
these
criminal
penalization
bills
come
forward.
I
ask
what
legislation,
what
research
rather
do?
M
M
Periods
of
time,
which
we
know
has
not
proven
to
reduce
recidivism,
has
not
proven
to
increase
Rehabilitation
and,
in
fact,
leads
to
further
criminality
of
those
individuals
when
they
potentially
are
released
because
of
what
happens
in
the
prison
environment.
So
there's
nothing
from
even
what
you
just
shared
that
says.
We
should
do
this,
because
judges
are
already
using
their
discretion,
and
this
is
signaling
I.
Think,
unfortunately,
that
we
want
people
to
be
in
prison
for
longer
periods
of
time,
which
is
not
a
benefit
to
our
state
from
an
economic
or
a
social
perspective.
F
Chairman
Russell,
thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
just
to
be
more
clear,
consecutive
sentences
that
are
only
permitted
in
certain
limited
circumstances.
Multiple
crimes
against
multiple
victims
is
not
currently
listed
as
one
of
the
permissible
circumstances
authorizing
consecutive
sentences,
and
this
will
just
do
that.
AR
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker
to
the
sponsor,
as
I
was
reading
the
legislation
something
stood
out
to
me.
That
was
a
bit
troubling.
If
you
look
at
the
fiscal
note
given
with
this
bill,
it
says
passage
of
the
proposed
legislation
will
result
in
an
increase
in
state
incarceration
expenditures.
However,
the
precise
timing
and
impact
is
dependent
on
multiple
unknown
factors
and
cannot
be
determined
with
reasonable
certainty
to
the
sponsor.
Can
you
describe
what
are
some
of
these
unknown
factors
that
would
increase
incarceration
costs
that
are
mentioned
in
the
fiscal
note.
F
A
AR
AR
F
AR
F
AR
You're
filing
legislation
that
will
increase
incarceration
costs
because
people
will
be
incarcerated
longer
and
more
people
will
be
incarcerated.
Let's,
let's
use
our
critical
thinking,
and
so,
if
we
look
at
why
we're
going
to
increase
incarceration
costs
is
because
you're
you're
creating
a
system
in
which
more
people
be
incarcerated
for
longer
periods
of
time.
AR
This
is
deeply
troubling
and
and
in
fact
it
was
so
trouble.
It's
the
first
time,
I've
seen
a
note
like
this,
where
the
fiscal
review
team
in
our
state
government
said
that
they
can't
even
determine
how
much
it
is
because
of
the
Insurgency
around
this
legislation
and
how
it
will
be
dependent
on
multiple
unknown
factors
and
so
I.
AX
A

AK
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker
members
of
the
general
assembly.
What
this
particular
Bill
does:
House
Bill
431
IT
addresses
Tennessee's
economic
competitiveness
in
Aeronautics,
Aviation
and
Logistics
Tennessee's.
Current
Aviation
tax
structure
continues
to
place
Tennessee
at
an
unfair
competitive
disadvantage
compared
to
surrounding
states
such
as
Texas
Kentucky,
Georgia
and
North.
Carolina
we've
had
this
bill
throughout
the
years,
but
this
particular
Bill
continues
to
cap
this.
The
fuel
sales
tax
on
our
aviation
industry
and
this
particular
Bill.
The
cap
is
currently
5
million.
AK
A
AU
AU
If
we
would
quit
doing
this
corporate
welfare
and
and
let
let
our
airport
run
itself
that
it's
been
doing
quite
successfully,
but
we
keep
sticking
our
nose
into
their
business
by
doing
the
corporate
welfare,
because
we've
got
some
lobbyists
running
around
out
here
that
we've
got
to
satisfy
and
and
we're
going
to
harm,
Nashville
again
and
then
you're
going
to
come
back
and
say
what
we
had
to
take
over
that
airport.
Look
at
how
much
money
we're
giving
them!
AK
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker
and
I
totally
disagree
with
you.
It
is
the
state's
responsibility
we
put
over
140
million
dollars
into
our
airports
just
this
year
and
you
talk
about
corporate
welfare.
This
particular
tax
was
put
on
a
couple
decades
ago
and
an
unfairly,
in
my
opinion,
punished
our
aviation
industry
and
those
that
were
growing
and
growing
in
Tennessee
growing
in
Tennessee
and
the
reason
we're
continuing
to
cap
this.
If
we
want
our
aviation
industry
and
our
airports,
sir
Airlines
religious
companies
to
grow,
then
we
need
to
be
competitive.
AK
In
Kentucky
the
cap
is
one
billion,
and
in
Georgia
and
North
Carolina
excuse
me,
1
million.
The
cap
is
1
million
in
North,
Carolina
and
Georgia.
The
there
is
absolutely
absolutely
no
sales
tax
on
them,
and
so,
when
you
have
corporations
that
are
wanting
to
grow
in
the
state
of
Tennessee,
we
need
to
be
competitive
surrounding
states.
Now
we
could,
as
the
state
continue
to
take
care
of
our
airports.
So
this
is
this:
a
competitiveness
to
keep
our
airline
industry
growing
in
Tennessee.
AU
And
and
representative
represent
what
you
said
right
on
I
I
agree
with
you,
a
hundred
percent
on
on.
Let's
make
make
them
competitive,
but
let's
don't
use
this
as
a
weapon
against
my
city,
our
airport,
to
justify
to
justify,
let's
put
it
in
a
nice
way,
because
I
I
know
how
I'd
like
to
say
what
it
is,
but
the
Justified,
the
illegal
taking
will
say
it
that
way
of
our
airport
and
the
oversight
of
that
airport
by
by
the
corporate
welfare
you're
doing,
and
it's
going
to
help
make
us
competitive.
AU
But
you're
gonna
have
some
other
people
who
have
they
all
dashed
you
to
walk
up
there
and
say
we're
having
to
give
Nashville
all
this
money.
Well,
the
reason
we're
having
you're
having
to
give
Nashville
all
this
money
is
you're
having
to
hold
harmless
provision
in
this
bill
because
you're
taking
their
revenue
streams
away
from
being
able
to
do
their
business,
which,
if
it's
going
to
help
bring
in
jobs
and
and
keep
a
certain
certain
company
in
Tennessee,
doing
most
of
their
business
here.
So
be
it.
AU
But
let's
don't
use
this
as
a
weapon
against
my
city
because
we're
doing
everything
right,
because
somebody
wants
to
get
their
hands
on
an
airport
Authority
and
some
people
want
to
have
their
friends
to
build
a
hangar,
so
imminent
domain
can
never
take
their
hanger.
You
know,
let's
be
honest
so
again,
if
your
bill
is
to
do
what
you
say
it's
to
do.
That's
fine!
AK
I
think
Ms
speaker
but
you're,
using
a
you're
totally
off
this
bill.
What
we're
trying
to
do
in
this
is
to
keep
those
Aviation
Industries,
those
Airlines,
those
logistic
companies
growing
in
Tennessee,
for
example,
in
my
own
area,
we
have
the
wonderful
Corporation
of
FedEx,
which
employs
by
the
way
372
000
people
in
the
United
States
and
41
000
in
Tennessee
alone.
AK
They
also
last
the
last
five
years,
paid
nine
billion
dollars
in
federal
state
and
local
taxes,
this
particular
corporation,
and
they
paid
57
million
dollars
in
state
taxes,
franchise
sales
and
motor
fuel
tax
and
other
things.
So
they
are,
they
are
paying
their
fair
share.
This
particular
legislation
caps
this
one
particular
tax
which
was
put
on
by
our
state
about
20
years
ago
or
so
and
unfairly
attacks.
This
particular
industry
now
is
Tennessee
is
growing.

I
have
not
been
a
big
fan
of
how
we've
been
funding
airports
for
the
last
several
years
because
of
the
different

were
doing,

Can
tell
you
this
from
start
carrying
the
bill
about
eight
years
ago
and
working
on
this.
At
that
time,
the
logistics
coming
in
in
Tennessee
FedEx
was
paying
around
45
million
per
year
and
and
they,
and
so
they
had
a
huge
Hub
up
in
Louisville
Kentucky,
where
the
cap
is
one
million
and
I'd
rather
form
to
grow
in
Memphis
than
Louisville
Kentucky.

Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
first,
before
I.
Get
into
this
bill
here
just
want
to
say
a
very
much
thanks
to
all
of
our
military
people,
but
as
we
try
to
explain
this
bill
in
Warren,
County
they're,
building
a
new
National
Guard
Armory,
and
we
would
like,
as
I've,
been
asked
to
name
the
major
general
Terry,
Max,
hasten
National,
Guard,
Armory
and
I
renew
my
motion.
A
A

A

Thank
you,
speaker,
representative,
I,
I
think
this
is
a
bad
piece
of
legislation,
because
it
continues
some
legislation
that
I've
seen
come
from
you
before
that
attacks,
people
who
have
differences,
particularly
in
their
genitalia,
there's
nothing
about
intersex
people
in
here,
there's
nothing
about
a
potential
people
who
are
on
the
Spectrum
as
it
relates
to
gender.
You
are
saying
the
government
is
the
decider
of
someone's
sex
and
the
immutability
that
you
mentioned
in
a
lot
of
legislation,
including
things
that
have
went
to
the
Supreme
Court.
M
M
M
M
This
is
not
the
type
of
legislation.
This
body
should
be
passing
or
spending
attention
and
giving
so
much
having
to
give
so
much
attention
to
even
in
defense
of
them,
when
we
have
issues
that
we
need
to
be
dedicating
ourselves
to
that
deserve
our
attention
that
deserve
our
conversation
that
can
help
protect
people
in
our
communities.
Furthermore,
that's
what
we
should
be
doing,
that's
what
we
should
be
focusing
on
and
not
othering
or
separating
people
in
our
society.
BD
Secondly,
representative,
let
me
respond
to
your
arguments
on
both
a
legal
level
and
a
policy
level
as
a
matter
of
law.
You
know
the
term
sex
appears
in
our
Tennessee
code.
Over
200
times,
we've
got
71
titles
in
our
code
and
you'll
find
the
term
sex
used
more
than
200
times
from
title
one
all
the
way
through
title
71
from
19.
Excuse
me
from
1796
all
the
way
to
the
present
and
when
this
body
has
used
the
term
sex
in
the
Tennessee
code
over
the
years,
it
has
in
fact
referred
to
one's
biological
sex.
BD
AQ
AR
BD
You
Mr
Speaker
I'm,
simply
responding
to
the
representative
from
Shelby
County's
remarks
that
lasted
five
minutes
and
covered
many
issues,
and
so
what
we
see
is
that
for
all
of
human
history,
we
have
had
this
dynamic
in
this
primordial
wonder
where
you
can
take
a
man
and
a
woman
and
in
communion
they
can
actually
produce
another
life.
It's
a
life-giving
relationship.
That
is
the
policy
that
this
statute
recognized,
that
this
bill
recognizes
and
I
will
point
out
representative
that
marriage
and
family
is
the
remedy
to
most
of
what
ales
our
society
and
our
civilization.
AF
Mr
Speaker
point
of
order,
which
is
a
question
or
a
statement
about
the
way
things
should
be
done
in
this
debate.
His
theological
views
are
not
pertinent
to
the
definition
of
sex
in
this
context
and
to
go
on
off
basis
and
talking
about
marriage
and
so
forth,
like
that
that
isn't
even
in
the
purview
of
this
conversation,
so
I
would
ask
the
speaker
please
instruct
Mr
Bull
so
stay
on
the
legislation.
So
we
can
have
a
thoughtful
Curtis,
courteous
debate
which
is
going
to
possibly
detrimentally
impact.
Thousands
of
tennesseans.
A
A
AA
AA
A
AT
Mr
Speaker
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
was
on
the
committee
that
went
through,
and
the
question
was
called
before.
Any
debate
was
allowed.
We
had
one
person
speak
on
a
very
substantial
bill
that
we
referenced.
This
has
been
in
the
code.
The
way
it
has
been
since
the
beginning
of
our
statute
was
established.
AT
We
just
changed
that
with
the
peace
legislation
and
one
person
was
allowed
to
speak
again.
I
would
ask
please
members,
let
us
all
debate
this
legislation
that
if
both
sides
think
are
important,
we
should
hear
the
debate
and
that's
that's
all
I
say
I
was
in
the
committee
and
I
talked
to
leadership
about
that
not
being
able
to
speak
and
give
my
views
and
yet
again
we
were
silenced.
I
just
want
to
make
that
point.
Mr,
Speaker
and
I
appreciate
your
consideration.
Representative.
AH
Thank
you
in
that
case,
I'm,
going
to
assist
the
clerk
with
the
speaker's
permission
section
60
right
to
debate
before
the
members
of
any
group
can
reach
Intelligent
Decisions.
It
is
necessary
that
they
understand
the
subject
upon
which
they
are
making
a
decision
and
the
effect
of
any
decisions
they're
making
to
accomplish
these
purposes
and
opportunity
is
given
for
debate
on
all
questions
of
business
to
be
decided
as
an
essential
part
of
this
free
discussion.
AH
U
A
BF
BF
So
again,
that's
just
the
background
this
bill
simply
and
fortunately
the
five
percent
going
for
gambling
addiction.
The
Department
of
Mental
Health,
has
not
needed
all
that
funds,
so
all
this
bill
simply
does
in
order
of
priority
for
the
Department
of
Mental.
Health
will
use
that
five
percent
first
for
gambling
addiction
treatment
if
any
funds
are
left
over
we'll
go
to
juvenile
addiction
and
mental
health
treatment,
and
that's
with
that
I
renew
my
motion
representative.
A
AR
D
AR
Thank
you,
Mr
clerk
in
a
body
where
we
see
arbitrary
abuse
of
power.
How
do
we
resist,
as
our
state
constitution
tells
us
that
it's
our
responsibility
to
resist
this
arbitrary
power
and
oppression
and
the
silencing
of
descent?
How
do
we
exercise
this
right
as
members
of
this
legislative
body,
Mr
Clerk,.
D
Mr
Speaker
Article
2,
Section
12
each
house
may
determine
the
rules
of
its
proceedings,
punish
its
members
for
disorderly
Behavior,
with
currents,
two-thirds,
expel,
a
member,
but
not
a
second
time.
For
the
same,
the
first
part
of
that
each
house
may
determine
the
rules
of
its
proceedings.
This
house
has
determined
its
rules
and
we
have
a
rule
36
that
allows
for
previous
question,
when
demanded
for
by
two-thirds
of
the
members
present.
A
BG
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker
and
as
I
talk
with
you
and
and
committee
I,
applauded
your
efforts
to
pull
this
money
out
back
in
2019
I
think
it
was
a
extremely
wise
decision
to
ensure
that
we're
putting
money
back
in,
because
all
personalities
are
not
the
same,
and
some
people
have
a
more
addictive
type
of
Tendencies
and
and
I
further.
Thank
you
for
for.
BG
After
evaluating,
you
know
how
the
money's
being
spent
and
given
that
a
good
amount
of
time
for
seeing
that
there
is
probably
going
to
be
an
access
to
the
to
the
the
gambling
addicting
addiction
people
taking
that
next
level,
and
that
is
our
our
children
and
and
our
kids.
That
may
have
some
issues
so
again.
I.
BG
Just
thank
you
for
bringing
this
bill
and
I
think
this
is
going
to
be
an
Ever
evolving
process
who
knew
what
sports
wager
and
was
going
to
generate
for
the
state
of
Tennessee
and
as
we
get
those
funds
and
I
I'm
sure
that
we're
going
to
start
to
do
some
really
good
things
with
this.
These
these
voluntary
funds.
So
thank
you
for
for
the
bill.
BH
Foreign,
thank
you,
representative
bricken.
We
know
the
troubles
that
our
students
are
having
coming
back
from
covid.
The
mental
health
issues
are
escalating
the
violence,
the
disorder
in
our
classrooms
and
taking
this
money,
that's
not
being
used
and
repurposing
it
for
that.
I
applaud
you
for
that
and
I.
Thank
you
for
that.
I
think
it's
putting
this
money
to
good
use,
just
a
question
for
clarification,
the
money
that
in
the
gambling
Port
proceeds
that
is
allocated
to
the
lottery
for
Education.
That's
still
that
that
is
not
being
touched.
Is
that
correct.
A
A
AA

Thank
you,
Mr

What
house
bill
814
does
is
it
creates
a
State
Fire
permit
for
these
mobile
food
units
in
order
to
demonstrate
fire
safety
and
electrical
code
compliance
to
local
governments,
so
a
local
government
will
recognize
that
State
Fire
permit,
and
this
is
to
help
those
food
truck
mobile
owners
that
have
multiple
food
unit
trucks
in
order
to
not
have
to
take
a
day
away
from
their
busy
schedule
to
go
to
that
Locale
and
get
inspected.

Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
Senate,
Bill
460
prohibits
insurance
companies
and
TennCare
from
requiring
prior
authorization
for
the
repair
of
power
and
manual
wheelchairs.
This
bill
was
brought
to
me
by
the
Tennessee
disability
coalition
on
behalf
of
their
members
and
constituents.
This
covers
basically
from
year
two
when
the
warranty
expires
up
to
the
fourth
or
fifth
year,
which
is
the
normal
life
of
the
chair.
With
that
I
renew
my
motion.
A
AA

A

Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker.
This
bill
exempts
the
retail
sale
of
personal
use,
trailers
that
are
removed
from
Tennessee
for
use
in
another
state
within
three
calendar
days
of
purchase.
It
again
exempts
them
from
the
sales
and
use
tax.
We
already
do
this
on
Commercial
trailers,
motor
vehicles
and
boats,
and
so
this
bill
just
adds
personal
use.
Trailers
to
that
exemption.
A
A
AP
AP
You
Mr
Speaker
members.
This
bill
was
brought
to
me
by
my
late
D.A
in
Williamson
County.
Essentially,
what
it
does
is
it
says
if
you
are
convicted
of
domestic
assault,
you
will
spend
at
least
30
days
in
in
jail
if,
in
the
process
of
that
you've
strangle
the
victim
of
that
assault
unconscious,
the
D.A
has
the
opportunity
to
pursue
attempted
homicide
against
you.
If
the
victim
of
that
assault
is
a
pregnant
woman.
AX
A
M
Foreign,
thank
you,
I
appreciate
it
and
appreciate
the
legislation.
There's
a
there's,
an
example
that
I
have,
and
then
there
are
a
couple
of
things
in
this
amendment
that
I
like
and
then
some
things
I
have
different
questions
about
one
is:
it
adds
a
requirement
that
the
census
of
a
person
convicted
of
domestic
assault,
involvement,
strangulation
or
attempt
to
strangulation
include
participation
and
programming
that
is
evidence-based
for
domestic
violence.
M
M
AQ
M
The
next
question
I
have
is
the
requirement
of
a
registrator
require
a
person
charged
with
such
offense
to
post
bail.
People
who
have
money
can
pose
bail
right
if
they
assaulted
a
nurse
or
a
practitioner.
What
do
you
have
here?
You
say
if
they
assert
a
a
first
responder
or
something
like
that
they
could
pose
bail,
committing
the
same
crime,
but
they
could
pose
Bell
and
go
home.
But
if
you're
poor
commit
the
same
crime
as
a
rich
person,
you
can't
pose
bail
and
go
home.
Why
do
you
think
that's
fair.
AP
M
I
totally
agree:
okay,
I,
I
I
am
against
domestic
violence
against
domestic
abuse.
Completely
I
do
not
think
people
who
do
that
should
ever
be
given
such
a
leniency,
as
some
folks
are
given,
because
of
race
or
because
of
their
pedigree
or
their
positions,
or
anything
like
that,
and
so
we're
aligned
on
that.
M
This
amendment
requires
a
magistrate
to
require
a
person
charged
with
such
offense
to
post
bail,
I'm
saying
if
this
is
a
severe
one
saying
a
rich
person
would
be
able
to
post
that
bail
after
they
committed
this
crime
or
poor
person
would
not,
and
so
there's
an
inequity
that
we're
legislating.
Is
this
not
a
part
of
the
legislation.
AP
M
AP
Bill
simply
says:
if
you're
convicted
you
can't
post,
you
can't
be
released
on
your
own
recognizance.
It
doesn't
deal
with
anything
other
than
conviction
of
a
domestic
assault,
strangulation
and
evidence-based
training.
But
there's
there's
nothing
specifically
with
regards
to
First
Responders
and
I'm,
not
I
mean
I'm
gonna
happy
to
look
into
that
later.
But
that's
that's
not
so!
That's
not
spoken
to
in
this
bill.
No
sir.
AG
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker
I'll
say
that
this
legislation
is
an
as
is
an
excellent
piece
of
legislation.
Tennessee
is
consistently
ranked
in
the
top
five
domestic
violence.
Deaths
in
our
nation
strangulation
is
a
very
serious
offense
when
you
put
your
hands
around
someone's
neck
and
cut
off
their
Airway,
you
are
doing
so
with
the
intent
to
cause
serious
bodily
injury
or
even
death,
and
so
thank
you
for
this
I'm,
hoping
that
legislation
such
as
this
will
help
curb
some
of
our
domestic
violence,
deaths
and
injuries
that
we
see
across
our
state.

lowering
the

that
Mr

renew
my
motion.
A
A
U
A
AV
This
is
the
James
Dustin
samples
act.
This
is
a
piece
of
legislation
that
has
been
worked
on
by
this
legislature
for
the
past
five
years,
and
while
we
have
many
members
here
standing
in
the
well,
we
have
many
co-sponsors
on
this
piece
of
legislation.
It
certainly
wasn't
the
concept
of
this
particular
legislation
that
got
this
legislation
to
the
floor
today.
AV
I
want
the
members
to
recognize
that
this
legislation
was
always
held
up
because
it
wasn't
funded
because
we
thought
it
was
potentially
too
expensive
to
take
care
of
those
folks
to
take
care
of
us
and
I.
Want
you
to
know
that
this
legislation
was
not
in
the
governor's
proposed
budget.
It
was
not
in
the
governor's
supplemental
budget.
This
legislation
was
funded
by
everyone.
That's
looking
at
me
right
now,
and
everyone
that's
in
across
this
chamber
in
the
Senate.
This
was
a
legislative
initiative
to
fund
this
piece
of
legislation,
so.
AV
So
with
that,
for
the
folks
on
our
finance
committee
for
the
folks
from
the
finance
committee
in
the
Senate
and
all
folks
that
have
signed
on
as
co-prime
sponsors
of
this
legislation,
I
know
that
I.
Thank
you
but
I
know
those
folks
that
are
above
us
in
the
gallery
to
my
right
to
put
on
the
uniform
every
day
to
go
to
harm.
Also
thanks
you
for
this
piece
of
legislation.
So
let
me
tell
you
what
it
does
we
honor
today,
some
state
troopers
in
the
well
at
the
beginning,
foreign.
AV
And
while
I
did
not
know
Dustin,
who
was
from
Cleveland
Tennessee
that
this
legislation
is
named
after
I
bet,
there
is
a
person
that
you
were
imagining
right
now
in
your
District.
That's
a
firefighter
that
you
have
a
relationship
with
I
know
that
you're
visioning
that
person.
Well
that's
what
this
legislation
is
about.
AV
That
firefighter
may
have
a
child,
that's
that
same
age
and
has
to
have
that
image
in
their
mind
for
the
rest
of
their
life,
to
potentially
save
that
life
and
the
way
our
laws
currently
exists.
Now,
there's
a
stigma.
All
of
us
have
weakness.
All
of
us
don't
want
to
tell
someone
that
we're
hurting
that
our
mind
is
messed
up,
that
we
can't
sleep
at
night
that
we
have
nightmares
of
what
happens
each
and
every
day
we
don't
have
to
live.
AV
AV
We
don't
deal
with
that
stigma.
So
what
this
legislation
removes,
what
this
legislation
does,
that
all
of
you
are
supporting.
Is
that
firefighter
that
person
that
goes
up
to
that
scene?
It's
automatically
presumed
that
any
post-traumatic
stress
that
they
have
as
a
result
of
that
accident
relates
to
the
job
that
we've
asked
them
to
do.
AV
And
see
what
is
going
to
happen
from
this
legislation
becoming
law
when
our
governor
signs
it
is
that
they
can
get
the
treatment
initially,
they
don't
have
to
go
to
a
body
and
say
I
am
depressed.
I
can't
sleep,
I
can't
function
as
a
husband
as
a
wife.
I
can't
be
a
father
to
my
children.
I
can't
be
a
mother
to
my
children
and
have
a
body
like
this
say
you
can't
get
the
services
that
you
need,
because
you
have
to
prove
it.
This
particular
instance.
AV
AV
AV
AV
For
for
five
years,
she
has
pursued
the
303
project
to
this
day.
In
this
day.
It's
here
on
the
floor.
One
thing
that
has
moved
me
is
when
you
testified
in
one
of
our
committees
that
y'all's
daughter
now
wants
to
become
a
firefighter
I.
Don't
know
about
you,
but
I
think
that's
pretty
cool
I
said
to
them
earlier.
AV
But
when
you
are
a
child,
when
you
are
in
seventh
or
eighth
grade,
and
you
see
a
fireman
or
a
police
officer,
man
y'all
look
really
cool,
you
know
and
and
it's
the
kids
that
want
to
go
in
that
profession
because
they
want
to
see
service
above
themselves
and
that's
what
I
think
about
that.
Our
firemen
is
and
our
firemen's
do:
firemen,
men
and
women
that
inspire
a
generation
to
be
called
by
their
Community
to
Serve
and
Protect
those
that
need
it.
The
samples
you
have
carried
on.
AV
BA
This
year
was
phenomenal
and
so
thankful
to
them
and,
of
course,
to
our
Senate
colleagues
and
to
all
of
you,
but
I
had
the
opportunity
three
years
ago
to
meet
with
the
couple
Police
Department
Lieutenant
named
Paul
Parish,
who
is
up
there
today
and
he
shared
with
me
his
own
personal
story,
and
why
this
bill
was
so
important
and
so
Paul.
Thank
you
for
advocating
for
those
firemen
in
Cookeville
in
our
district,
appreciate
you
being
here
today,
and
this
is
not
just
for
you
also,
but
for
all
of
our
firemen.
So
thank
you.

I
will
renew
my
plea
to
the
fact
that
this
pilot
program
needs
to
run
its
course.
I
think
the
Senate
saw
that
somewhat
probably
had
a
reluctant
member
or
two,
but
this
this
was
a
2019
pilot
project
to
bring
everybody
up
to
speed.
I,
don't
think
I
can
even
hear
myself
talk
and
now
I
got
the
microphone.
BG
This
was
an
opportunity
to
run
a
pilot
project
in
two
of
our
Urban
counties,
and
we've
not
done
that
yet
so
I
I
do
appreciate
the
Senate
going
taking
one
of
those
counties
off
to
the
sponsor.
Would
you
entertain
taking
both
counties
off
and
sending
asking
the
Senate
if
they
would
consider
that
I
I
bet
that
would
probably
pass
the
Senate
General.
AK
BG
AK
BN
In
reality,
we're
not
Consulting,
including
the
representative
of
those
persons
and
for
one
individual
in
another
body
to
determine
what
the
future
will
be
in
regards
to
schooling
in
this
District
I.
Think
it's
totally
inappropriate
and
I
would
ask
if
we
would
consider
removing
Chattanooga
from
this
list,
because
it's
not
speaking
to
the
interests,
the
concerns
of
the
people
in
a
sense
that
we're
not
consulted
someone
feels
they
know
better
than
the
people
who
are
impacted
than
the
people
themselves.
AK
BN
A
A
AU
AK
A
X
AK
No,
so
that's
incorrect
the
reason
because
it
was
tied
up
in
court
for
two
years
and
just
released
eight
months
ago.
So
therefore
is
a
slow
rat
rollout.
The
Department
of
Education
had
to
then
put
everything
back
in
place,
so
it's
just
been
a
slow
row
out
the
first
eight
months
right
now,
I
think
up
to
maybe
2
000
people,
another
1500
have
have
started.
The
application
process

Thank
you,
Mr

no
you're,
making
you're
making
your
assumption.
That
is
not
correct.
This
is
an
opportunity
that
we're
putting
out
in
these
areas
for
those
parents
who
would
like
to
have
the
opportunity.
Hamilton
County
has
three
priority
schools,
and
this
is
given
those
those
children
opportunity.
X
Speaker
and
and
and
and
I
understand
that
chairman
white,
but
but
again,
I,
go
back
to
what
representative
Hakeem
said
that
nobody
came
to
talk
to
him
and
he's
the
one.
His
schools
are
the
ones
that
are
being
infected,
and
you
know
if
there
was
no
interest,
because
my
schools
were
affected
in
Shelby
County
and
apparently
there
was
not
a
lot
of
interest
in
in
doing
this.
You
know,
maybe
we
should
look
at
it,
expanding
it
into
some
of
these
rural
communities
where
they're
excited
about
it.

you
very
much
Mr

heard
you
say
that
you
were
in
this
instance
dealing
with
Hampton
County.
You
were
giving
the
people
what
they
want.
Now
to
my
knowledge,
there's
one
individual
in
our
legislative
body
who
have
in
you
know
encouraged
you
to
move
in
this
direction
that
you're
talking
about
including
Hamilton

Thank
you,

the
same
way
you

speak
for,
and
if
you
look
on
the
sign
on
list,
there's
other
people
from
Camden
County
who
have
signed
on
this
legislation.
We
are
a
representative
government,
and
so
we
are
here
discussing
this.
It
was
brought
to
us
by
some
representatives
and
and
from
the
house
and
the
Senate,
and
we
are
moving
forward
at
their
request.
BN
BN
Thank
you.
Mr
chairman
I
just
have
a
couple
of
other
questions,
one
in
regards
to
potential
loss
of
Monies
with.
If
those
children
leave
the
public
or
charter
schools
and
go
to
a
private
school,
does
the
money
follow
the
children?
And
if
so,
what
is
the
impact
on
the
schools
that
they
have
left
chairman.
AK
In
the
original
legislation
in
2019,
we
hold
harmless
the
public
schools
for
three
years.
They
continue
to
get
the
money
just
like
the
child
was
there.
We
did
that
intentionally
to
protect
on
the
thing
now,
once
three
years
is
up,
it's
just
like
a
child
moves
away
or
moves
in
and
out
of
our
state
or
anywhere
else
goes
a
different
District
than
the
schools
only
get
the
funding
for
the
children
that
are
going
in
that
particular
School.
BN
You
Mr
chairman
Mr
Speaker,
so
if
I'm
understanding
what
you're
saying
the
schools
that
we're
dealing
with
the
five
schools
that
are
being
proposed,
those
are
the
only
instances
where
children
have
the
option
to
leave
a
school
and
go
to
a
private
school.
Or
does
this
apply
to
Hamilton
County
in
general,
schools.
AK
Only
those
students
who
fall
in
the
as
I
mentioned
the
day,
the
the
income
range.
This
is,
you
have
to
have
a
district
or
account
that
has
three
or
more
priority
schools
and
they
have
to
fail
within
the
income
level
of
twice
that
of
those
if
you
receive
the
free
lunch
program,
so
it's
designed
for
those
students
who
don't
have
the
opportunity
to
make
a
choice,
and
so
that's
why
I'm
such
a
big
advocate
of
this
to
help
those
students
who
are
are
at
least
capable
of
having
a
choice.
AK
Any
school
these
are
schools
which
have
to
be
certified
qualified
by
the
state,
not
not
just
any.
When
we
design
the
legislation
back
in
2019,
we
were
very
emphatic
that
we
did
not
want
any
school
popping
up
as
a
result
of
this
installation,
so
you
had
to
be
a
certified
one,
two
or
three
category
private
school.
These
that
are
that
are
authorized
by
the
state
that
are
that
are
that
are
high
performing.
A
AA
A
D
BO
This
came
back
from
the
Senate.
We
named
the
bill
for
our
my
constituent,
Miss
Norma,
Jean
Upshaw,
who
was
displaced
at
the
age
of
80..
The
Senate,
unfortunately,
would
not
work
with
us
on
the
number
of
days
of
notice.
So
it
goes
goes
back
to
the
original
bill
of
the
Senate
of
60
days

I,
move
that
we
adopt
the

AY
You
thank
you
Mr
Speaker,
happy
lunch
time
to
everyone
we
were
in
this
is
the
card
check
Bill
the
senate
had
wanted
to
carve
out
the
entire
Mega
site,
including
all
future
users,
not
just
Ford
and
SK.
We
had
held
that
only
Ford
and
SK
should
be
carved
out
the
middle
ground
that
we
reached
was
we're
going
to
exempt
the
entire
Mega
site
for
one
calendar
year,
and
so
that's
what
the
conference
report
reflects
and
I
move.
A
AT
AY
AY
AT
AY
M
A
M
We
know
the
benefits
of
unions,
we
know
how
that
ensures.
Economic
Security,
we
know
how
that
leads
to
economic
and
social
justice
in
ways
that
we
need
that
our
state
should
be
adopting,
like
the
guaranteeing
of
minimum
wages,
guaranteeing
safety
precautions,
guaranteeing
benefits
of
Health
Care
that
come
from
organization
and
so
dictating
the
process
that
they
have
to
go
through,
because
we
disagree
with.
That
is
wrong.
M
What
I'm
concerned
about
with
this
amendment
that
you
say
is
it
only
allows
for
one
year
of
a
pass?
If
you
will
for
this
legislation
for
going
into
effect,
and
so
for
those
corporations,
those
companies
that
are
still
receiving
State
funds
or
might
receive
state
funds
during
that
time,
do
they
didn't
lose
the
funding
for
the
remainder
of
the
time
in
which
they
have
that
agreement
around
the
mega
site,
German.
AY
M
AY
No
representative,
what
happens
with
this
is
that
during
that
one
year
period
companies
who
are
awarded
this,
whatever
benefits
that
ecd
may
give
them
they
go
under
contract
and
the
awards,
and
so
this
we're
giving
them
the
one
year
for
that
they
don't
have
to
give
them
back.
What
this
is
doing
is
this
is
allowing
it
does.
M
AY
Well,
if
it's
a
corporation
in
Shelby
County,
that
has
let's
say,
for
example,
a
hypothetical
would
be
if
someone
is
going
to
decide
whether
or
not
this
has
to
do
with
people
relocating
as
a
result,
bringing
jobs
to
an
area
if
they
are
bringing
those
jobs
to
work
with
the
mega
site,
but
are
located
in
Shelby
County.
This
does
not
apply
to
them.
If
they're
going
to
build
their
campus
on
the
mega
site,
they
have
one
year
to
get
that
agreement
with
economic
Community.
Development
done.
M
M
AY
Mr
chairman,
we
had
a
single
issue
that
we
were
dealing
with,
and
so
we
were,
as
we
begin
to
have
discussions
with
the
Senate.
If
we
reached
a
compromise
even
that,
just
during
the
conversational
point,
we
alerted
our
members
of
our
conference
committee.
Not
we
did
not
have
a
in-body
conference
committee
meeting
every
we
gained
consensus
with
enough
members
to
for
the
report
to
be
issued.

Mr

the
language

are
drafted

my
understanding
that
Henry

had
a
bill
for
convenience.
Voting
and
Washington
County
had
a
bill
for
convenience
voting,
so
what
the
Senate
has
done
is
actually
just
put
Washington
County
on
Henry
County's
Bill
and
made
it
one.
So
with
that
I
moved
to
concur
with
Senate
