Mr
sergeant
of
arms
invite
the
members
into
the
chamber
and
close
the
doors.
I
I
hereby
declare
the
house
representatives
of
the
112th
general
assembly
of
state
of
tennessee
now
in
session.
Will
the
members
please
stand?
Will
the
visitors
in
the
gallery
please
stand
and
remain
standing
through
the
pledge
of
allegiance
representative
kumar
will
introduce
the
chaplain
of
the
day.
Representative
kumar,
you
are
recognized.
B
Mr
rushing
pastors
the
main
street
church
of
christ
in
springfield
tennessee.
He
has
done
so
for
31
years,
while
I've
called
upon
him
and
while
driving
here,
I
thought
of
everybody
knows
pastor
joe
everybody
in
our
community
and
I
thought
what
does
it
mean
to
be
a
pastor?
Certainly,
a
pastor
is
the
leader
of
a
church,
they
conduct
worship
services
and
they
give
advice
and
counsel
to
the
congregation
and
members,
but
pastor
joe
is
different.
He
has
unlocked
that
theme
to
be
the
person
who
gives
advice
and
counsel
to
the
community.
B
C
B
D
D
D
But
if
you
count
her
love
affair
with
julius
caesar,
she
made
a
dead
language
come
alive
for
40
years
and
she
taught
more
english
and
history
and
legal
and
medical
vocabulary
that
was
learned
in
that
one
class
than
you
can
ever
imagine.
There
was
a
lady,
miss
alma,
mcnabb
who's.
Almost
a
hundred
years
old
now,
who
taught
algebra
one
of
her
students
said
miss
mcnabb
taught
us
how
to
listen
to
explanation,
tackle
problems
and
get
the
work
done.
D
She
was
more
than
helpful
doing
a
rehash
with
corrections,
extra
prep
for
math
contests
and
taught
us
a
myriad
of
skills
for
any
career
or
day-to-day
problem.
Solving
and
debbie
white
lee,
who
now
retired
principal
in
tennessee,
said
bobby
moderal
city's
class
was
my
favorite
class
at
central,
where
I
learned
all
the
countries
in
the
world
because
of
his
map
drills.
D
I
also
became
aware
of
current
events
because
every
monday
morning
he
expected
us
to
know
one
local
state
and
national
current
event,
and
it
could
not
be
repeated
by
anyone
else.
Time
will
not
permit
me
to
speak
of
all
those
teachers
worthy
of
our
praise,
but
these
stories
can
be
repeated
from
bristol
to
memphis.
D
D
We
confess
that
we
are
all
too
familiar
with
the
weapons
of
war
and
conflict
and
greed
and
father.
May
we
allow
your
spirit
and
your
word
to
develop
in
us
the
fruit
of
the
spirit
that
love
joy,
peace,
long-suffering,
kindness,
goodness
faithfulness
gentleness
self-control
that
these
be
the
hallmarks
of
our
life.

Ms
keaton
recently
announced
that
she
will
be
taking
her
much
deserved
retirement
on
february
22,
2022
and
whereas
beth
keaton
began
her
illustrious
career
in
economic
and
community
development
in
1992,
with
lawrence
county's
21st
century
council,
and
continued
to
be
a
driving
force
behind
the
economic
and
civic
well-being
of
her
community.
After
that
organization
merged
with
the
lawrence
county
chamber
of
commerce
in
2002.
F
Winning.
The
sincere
respect
and
admiration
of
her
colleagues
and
the
citizens
of
lawrence
county
now,
therefore
be
resolved
with
the
house
of
representatives.
112

assembly

tennessee
senate
concurring
that
we
extend
to

our
heartfelt

Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
members
I'd
like
for
you
to
join
me
in
a
moment
of
silence
for
a
true
american
hero
that
was
buried
yesterday
at
arlington
national
cemetery
command
sergeant
major
cliff
adams
served
in
the
173rd
airborne
in
vietnam,
where
he
was
wounded
but
decorated
from
gallantry
and
fowler
sergeant.
Major
adams
put
up
with
me
as
a
young
officer
at
scofield
barracks,
hawaii,
fort
mcclellan
alabama
and
with
u.s
seventh
corps
in
stuttgart.
K
L
L
Usually
you
dominate
in
the
middle,
but
the
interns
decided
to
get
a
little
rough
with
chairman
hasten,
so
he
turned
it
on
a
little
bit
which
benefited
our
team
and,
as
I
close,
I'm
reminded
of
the
great
words
of
the
paraphrase
of
a
great
tennessee
and
toby
keith,
we're
not
as
young
as
we
once
was,
but
we're
as
good
once
as
we
ever
was.
So.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
A
G
A
J
J
J
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
want
to
grab
reps
in
the
back
if
he
will
to
join
me
here
for
a
minute
once
he
gets
to
talking
to
garrett
east
high
school
basketball,
team,
state,
2a,
basketball
champions.
We
want
to
congratulate
them.
The
school
doesn't
represent
the
bex
district,
but
we
share
the
players
in
district
58,
district
51.
So
congratulations
to
the
east
high
school
men,
boys
2a
state
championship.
Please
members
give
them
a
great
round
of
applause
for
their
championship.

What
this
bill
is
concerning
when
a
towing
company
is
towing
a
tractor
or
trailer.
This
bill
requires
that
the
towing
company
notify
the
owner
of
the
equipment
in
three
days
by
searching
the
us
dot
number
on
the
side
of
the
tractor
or
the
registration
plates
on
the
tractor
or
trailer.
Similar
notification
is
currently
required
for
rental
companies
in
this
state.
A
A
K
K
A
K
You,
mr
speaker,
members
what
this
bill
before
you
is
doing
this
morning,
our
state
superintendents
are
in
town
at
a
conference,
and
I
had
breakfast
with
them
about
100
of
them
and
there's
one
thing
they
wanted
on
their
bucket
list
this
year
was
this
particular
bill
and
what
it
does
it's
a.
It
sets
a
new
baseline
to
measure
districts
and
school
amos,
the
annual
measurable
objective
goals
that
began
with
the
tcap
test
that
students
took
in
the
2020-2021
school
year.
K
What
this
is
is
a
reset
button
that
does
not
hold
the
districts
accountable
for
results
that
were
obtained
prior
to
covering
19
pandemic.
The
20
20
21
were
the
first
post-pandemic
tcap
test
members
of
the
students,
so
this
is
a
reset
that
they
asked
for,
and
with
that,
mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.
C
K
C
A
A
K
B
K
B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
members
house
bill
2855
senate
bill
2386
apply
the
prudent
layperson
standard
to
a
medical
emergency.
That
is,
if
a
prudent
lay
person
goes
to
the
emergency
room
because
they
think
they're
having
a
heart
attack.
If
the
final
diagnosis
is
different,
insurance
coverage
will
not
be
denied,
nor
will
it
be
denied,
based
on
lack
of
prior
authorization
or
a
contractual
agreement
between
the
pair
and
the
healthcare
provider.
With
that
explanation,
mr
speaker
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
A
A
F
N
H
N
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
members.
What
this
does
is
this
allows
for
its
regards
to
property
property
damage
for
your
vehicle.
So
if
you
go
and
hit
someone,
this
raises
from
fifteen
thousand
from
a
minimum
to
twenty
five
thousand,
so
it's
property
damage
only
has
nothing
to
do
with
personal
injury,
trying
to
keep
up
with
inflation,
the
cost
of
parts
for
other
vehicles
and
so
forth.
Without
the
speaker
I'll
renew
my
motion.
A
A
N
A
A
N
N
Carolina
wants
to
come
once
moved
to
tennessee
to
work
here,
but
he's
a
legal
permanent
resident
he's
not
he's
not
a
united
states
citizen
yet,
but
he's
a
legal
permanent
resident
here
legally
pays
taxes
has
all
the
qualifications
needed
for
law
enforcement
right,
but
in
tennessee,
in
order
for
to
work
for
law
enforcement,
if
you're
a
legal
permanent
resident,
we
had
a
requirement.
That
said,
you
also
had
to
be
honorably
discharged
from
the
military,
not
real
sure
why
we
put
that
in
place.
N
That
was
put
in
place
back
in
2016,
but
if
we
remove
the
language
that
you
also
have
to
be
honorably
discharge,
the
military,
along
with
all
the
training,
everything
else
that
a
law
enforcement
officer
has
to
have
here
in
tennessee.
This
will
allow
for
other
people
to
come
and
work
here
in
tennessee
as
a
law
enforcement
officer.
N
So
all
this
does
is
remove
that
requirement
that
you
also
have
to
be
honorably
just
charged
with
the
military
before
you
could
be
a
legal
permanent
resident
to
work
for
law
enforcement
here
in
tennessee
and
I'm
putting
a
six-year
limit
on
it.
If
you're,
not
if
you've
not
obtained
your
citizenship
within
six
years,
then
you
can
no
longer
work
for
law
enforcement.
We.
N
How
enforcement,
or
we
all
know
how
important
it
is
for
us
to
have
qualified
good
law
enforcement
officers.
We
know
how
hard
it
is
to
get
those
folks
sometimes
to
come
and
work
some
in
our
local
municipalities
and
such
so.
I
just
see
this
as
a
way
for
us
to
get
some
good
folks
here
that
want
to
live
in
tennessee
and
want
to
protect
tennessee
and
to
come
and
work
here
in
tennessee.
G
N
And
thank
you
for
that
that
question
chairman
doggett,
as
I
understand
the
only
thing
I'm
doing,
is
removing
that
requirement
that
they
be
honorably
just
versus
military
and
it's
my
understanding
is
they
would
they
would
receive
all
the
benefits
and
qualifications,
as
anyone
else
would,
as
they
are
here
legally
taking
the
right
steps,
they
haven't
snuck
across
the
board
or
anything
else
like
this.
They
they
are
here
legally
working
on
their
citizenship.
At
this
point
in
time,.
P
Thank
you
just
want
to
appreciate
the
sponsor.
I
actually
was
the
one
that
carried
the
bill
in
2016
and
the
honorable
discharge
was
a
concession
we
made,
but
clearly
we
need
more
people
and
good
people
in
law
enforcement,
and
these
people
are
working
towards
their
citizenship,
and
you
know,
I
think
this
is
a
good
piece
of
legislation,
that's
justified
and
will
certainly
help
a
lot
of
people
in
law
enforcement,
especially
in
communities
like
mine,
where
you
might
have
people
who
have
come
from
other
countries
and
are
here.
P
You
know
trying
to
work
on
their
citizenship
and
having
them
have
the
knowledge
of
those
communities
and
being
able
to
sometimes
even
speak.
Those
languages
helps
with
law
enforcement
because
you
want
to
have
people
in
your
communities
that
look
like
the
communities
that
you
were
there
sworn
to
protect.
So
thanks
for
this
piece
of
legislation,
it's
a
good
bill.
Q
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Thank
you,
mr
farmer,
for
bringing
it.
I
have
a
question,
though,
coming
from
a
family
that
came
here
from
another
country
in
the
original
legislation
of
refugees
or
immigrants,
you
had
to
become
a
citizen
within
five
years.
Does
this
bill
have
a
barrier
or
a
limit?
How
long
you
have
to
you,
get
to
be
able
to
be
to
show
your
citizenship,
german
farmer.
Q
C
I
think
your
bill
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and
I
would
think
that
if
folks
and
we
pass
a
bill
allowing
or
mandating
that
the
local
folks
have
to
hire
if
someone
wants
to
apply
and
disqualify
from
outside
of
their
boundaries,
I
would
think
that
that
residency
requirement
within
a
certain
number
of
years
should
be
a
requirement
for
that
bill
that
we
passed
so
I'm
going
to
bring
that
bill
next
year.
I'm
supporting
your
bill
this
year.
Thank
you.
N

A
K

A

A
F
A
F
I
You,
mr
speaker,
we're
calling
this
the
tennessee
foster's,
hope
and
there's
two
parts
to
it.
The
first
part
of
the
bill
will
expand
eligibility
for
extension
of
foster
care
services,
a
wraparound
service
program
for
young
adults
still
in
dcs
custody.
When
they
turn
18.
eligibility
will
be
expanded
to
include
full-time
employment
and
non-credit
bearing
vocational
training
programs.
I
Part
two
of
this
bill
will
allow
dcs
to
pay
a
per
diem
to
relative
caregivers.
Instead
of
placing
a
child
into
full
custody.
Dcs
does
not
currently
reimburse
caregivers
who
assume
custody
of
a
child.
They
are
related
to
this
prevents
many
relative
caregivers
from
accepting
their
responsibility
result
in
the
child
going
into
full
state
custody
at
the
full
daily
foster
care
rate.
Under
the
proposal,
dcs
would
reimburse
relative
caregivers
at
50
of
the
daily
foster
care
board
rate
for
the
level
of
care
assigned
to
the
child.
I
Q
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
thank
you
chair,
lady.
You
do
a
wonderful
job,
cheering
your
committee
and
your
passion
for
our
children
is
exceptional.
I
just
have
a
question.
I
don't
think
it's
a
stupid
question,
but
I
would
like
to
know
it's
got
a
35
million
dollar
fiscal
note.
How
does
that
not
go?
Be?
Please
explain
the
trajectory
of
this
bill
to
me
because
I'm
not
quite
understanding,
usually
bills,
go
behind
the
budget
on
that.
I
A
Represent
waiver:
it's
in
the
budget,
it's
funded
in
the
budget,
all
right
any
further
discussion,
so
you
know
any
objection
to
the
question
scene.
None
all
those
in
favor
of
senate
bill
2398
vote
eye
when
the
bell
rings,
those
pose
vote.
No,
has
everyone
cast
a
vote?
Does
anyone
wish
to
change
their
vote?.

Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
representative.
This
bill
was
brought
by
the
tennessee
coalition
for
open
government
simply
clarifies
certain
information
regarding
deaths
of
inmates
is
subject
to
the
public
records
requests.
This
includes
the
person's
age
name,
time
of
death
date
of
death
and

Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
house
bill
2561
contains
two
interstate
compacts
for
healthcare
professionals.
One
is
for
occupational
therapist.
The
other
one
is
for
audiologist
and
speech
language
pathologist.
This
bill
facilitates
a
process
for
licensure
reciprocity
for
these
health
professions,
much
like
other
reciprocity,
compacts
that
we
have
in
place
for
other
healthcare
professionals.
I
renew
my
motion
treatment.
A
A
K
A
E
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
simply
stated
this
bill
limits:
administrative
agency
and
power
and
maximizes
individual
liberty.
In
essence,
it
levels
the
playing
field
for
private
entities,
that
is
to
say
it
scraps
the
notion
that
agencies
get
to
interpret
the
rules
of
their
own
creation
to
their
own
benefits.
E
J
E
Thank
you
under
the
uapa.
If
there
is
a
contest
within
a
company
that
has
administrative
law
judges,
the
first
step
is
the
individual
who
is
offended
by
the
a
particular
rule
within
the
agency,
tries
to
resolve
the
issue
at
the
lowest
level
supervisors
or
whatever.
The
next
step
is
in
front
of
an
administrative
law,
judge
this
bill
that
touches
neither
one
of
those
steps.
However,
either
entity
may
appeal
to
a
court
after
the
administrative
law
judge
renders
a
ruling
when
it
gets
to
the
court
level
in
the
past.
E
J
Parkinson,
thank
you,
chairman
reagan.
Can
you
is
this
okay?
So
is
this
for
and
I
apologize
it's
my
first
time
hearing
the
bill.
So
is
this
for
certain
certain
groups,
or
or
you
know,
and
or
is
it
for
anybody
in
any
occupation?
Am
I
am
I
even
in
the
right
ball
field,
speaking
in
regards
to
occupation,
generating.
E
E
J
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
sponsor
what
what
what
is?
What's
your
actual
intent
of
this
legislation,
the
chevron
doctrine
was
a
u.s
supreme
established
by
the
u.s
supreme
court,
but
you
want
the
state
of
tennessee
to
ignore
that
and
I'll
and
allow
a
rule
to
be
interpreted
outside
the
actual
intent
of
the
rule
making
body.
Why
would
you?
Why
would
you
want
to
do
that.
E
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
I
understand
how
the
administrative
procedure
process
works,
but
when
we
delegate
that
authority
to
that
administrative
body,
they
have
the
authority
to
come
up
with
that
rule.
Enact
that
rule.
So
why
wouldn't
their
intent
in
making
that
rule
be
a
good
source
of
reference
for
the
court,
deciding
a
case
challenging
the
intent
of
that
rule.
E
Directly
to
the
point,
the
agency
is
certainly
allowed
to
present
its
rationale
in
front
of
the
court,
but
the
court
is
not
allowed
to
give
deference
to
it
any
more
than
when
you
have
an
ordinary
court
proceeding
with
a
plaintiff
and
a
defendant.
The
court
can't
give
deference
to
either
one
of
those
parties
in
interpreting
the
rules.
O
But
this
seems
to
be
defeating.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
seems
to
be
defeating
the
very
purpose
of
that.
You
know
when
the
supreme
court
decided
this,
they
had
a
good
rationale
for
establishing
the
chevron
doctrine,
because
that
is
the
most
knowledge
once
they
the
legislature,
hands
that
off
and
they
have
the
power
and
legal
authority
to
enact
that
rule
and
they
have
a
stated
intent
for
that
rule.
Why
wouldn't
that
be
the
best
source
of
reference
for
someone
deciding
a
case
based
on
that
rule?
O
I
don't
understand
why
we
would
just
want
to
usurp
the
intelligence
and
the
established
doctrine
of
the
u.s
supreme
court,
just
because
we
might
have
an
issue
with
one
or
two
rules
when
we've
already
delegated
them
the
authority
to
to
make
that
rule,
and
they
know
why
they
did
it.
They
have
the
information
establishing
why
they
did
it
and
their
purpose
for
doing
it.
So
why
would
the
choir
fact
not
want
to
rely
and
defer
on
their
stated
intent.
A
E
With
all
due
respect,
sir,
this
bill
is
about
making
judges
perform
as
judges.
The
balance
of
power
is
in
the
agency's
favor
by
the
fact
that
they
have
created
the
rule.
Their
interpretation
of
the
rule
should
not
be
the
deciding
factor.
The
judge
should
balance
all
of
the
facts
in
the
case
to
include
an
agency's
interpretation,
but
also
to
include
all
of
the
relevant
facts
brought
by
those
contesting
the
rule.
O
Representing
clemens,
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
with
all
due
respect,
the
judges
do
their
job
and
have
done
their
job
under
this
precedent
for
some
amount
of
time,
but
they
also
require
guidance
and
follow
doctrines
within
the
judicial
system
on
how
to
decide
certain
cases,
and
I
would
think
that
we
would
want
judges
enforcing
a
challenged
rule
to
defer
to
the
actual
body
who
made
the
rules
intent
in
making
and
enacting
that
rule.
This
seems
to
defeat
the
entire
purpose
for
your
argument.
So
thank
you
for
answering
my
questions.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
E
E
E
It
is,
in
my
opinion,
an
infringement
on
the
balance
of
powers
to
give
that
same
executive
branch
that
made
the
rules
difference
in
interpreting
the
rules.
Please
notice,
I'm
not
saying
you
don't
consider
the
arguments
put
forward
by
that
executive
agency,
but
you
don't
give
them
deference
with
that
explanation,
sir.
I
renew
my
motion
representative
weaver.
Q
Q
It
is
our
job
to
hear
both
sides
of
the
story
to
hear
from
the
resources
we
have
lobbyists
coming
to
our
office,
all
the
time
with
the
with
the
no
or
the
yes,
why
they
want
the
bill
or
why
they
we
shouldn't
vote
for,
and
we
as
good
legislatives
with
two
ears
by
the
way
it
is
our
job
to
get
and
listen
to
both
sides
of
the
story,
but
it
is
not
the
lobbyists
job
to
run
the
law
down
here.
It
is
our
job
as
legislators.
Q
Am
I
on
the
same
hunt
here?
Is
this
this
dog
on
the
same
hunt
here?
In
other
words,
is
that
principle
that
I'm
sharing
in
my
world,
similar
to
what
you're
saying
about
the
judges
they
take
in
the
the
resources
and
the
information
that
has
been
given
to
them,
and
then
they
are
supposed
to
make
the
ruling,
and
they
are
to
judge-
is
that
basically,
what
this
bill
is
seeking
to
do.
E
E
H
H
My
practice,
as
many
of
you
know,
I
practice
law
litigation
and
it's
important
as
a
lawyer,
that's
going
to
appear
in
court
that
we
make
sure
we
not
only
be
able
to
argue
what
our
client's
intent
is.
From
our
perspective,
it's
also
important
that
the
other
side
gets
the
opportunity
to
also
argue
their
their
side.
It's
we
have
one
of
the
best
justice
systems.
H
In
my
opinion,
in
the
world,
and
when
I
read
this
language,
is
it
your
intent
that
the
lawyers
that's
representing
the
agency
cannot
argue
whatsoever
to
the
judge
about
why
they
made
the
very
rule
that
we
gave
them
the
power
to
do
so.
Therefore,
the
court,
the
administrative
judge,
the
hearing
officer,
whoever
is
presiding
over
this
administrative
appeal,
what
I'm
afraid
of
they
only
get
one
story.
H
They
only
get
one
side
because
you're
prohibiting
at
all
for
a
lawyer
to
argue
the
other
side's
intent
of
why
they
made
the
rule
in
the
first
place.
So
there
is
going
to
be
a
one-sided
argument
in
a
hearing
that
says
no
judge
or
hearing
officer
presiding
over
a
contested
case
can
even
hear
what
the
intent
of
that
agency's
rule
was.
Therefore,
that's
going
to
apply
to
their
lawyers,
arguing
on
their
behalf
on
why
they
made
the
rule
they're.
Only
going
to
hear
one
side
is,
is
that's
your
intent
of
this
legislation.
K
E
Thank
you,
sir,
and
I
appreciate
your
comments.
However,
again
with
due
respect,
you
have
misinterpreted
very
straightforwardly.
The
bill
is
only
four
lines.
It
says,
as
in
interpreting
a
state
statute
or
rule
the
court
presiding
over
the
appeal
of
judgment,
please
notice
that
does
not
include
administrative
law
judges.
The
court
presiding
over
the
case
shall
not
defer
to
the
state
agency's
interpretation
of
the
statutory
rule
and
shall
interpret
the
statute
or
rule
de
novo.
E
After
applying
all
the
customary
tools
of
interpretation,
the
court
shall
resolve
any
remaining
ambiguity
against
the
state
agency.
It
does
not
present
the
state
agency
from
presenting
their
their
arguments,
their
interpretations.
It
merely
says
the
judge
in
a
court,
not
the
hearing
officer,
not
the
administrative
law
judge
in
a
court.
The
court
judge
is
not
to
defer
to
the
state
agency's
interpretation
of
their
own
rule.
H
Then
that
worries
me
further
because
then
we
now
have
a
sitting
judge
that
this
has
been
appealed
from
the
administrative
law
judge
and
in
our
justice
system.
This
law,
as
you
just
described,
is
preventing
an
argument
to
be
made
from
one
side
of
the
of
the
dispute
because
they
can't
hear
the
interpretation
from
the
state
agency.
So
I
I've
just
got
some
real
concerns
that
we're
going
to
be
opening
up
a
slippery
slope
for
our
justice
system
to
hear
one
side
of
the
story.
So
I'm
just
I've
got
some
real
concerns
about
that.
Jim
reagan.
E
Thank
you,
sir.
You
are
incorrect.
I
can't
say
that
anymore
tactfully,
the
judge
can
hear
both
sides
and
they
it
is
de
novo.
That
means
they
hear
both
sides
presented
without
deference
or
reference
to
previous
decisions,
so
they
they
are
not
excluding
any
interpretation
that
the
agency
wishes
to
put
forward.
The
agencies
are
certainly
encouraged
to
do
that.
They
just
may
not
get
difference
from
the
judge,
for
it.
H
Thank
you
and
I
do
appreciate
it,
and
I
highly
respect
you,
mr
chairman,
but
the
way
this
is
worded.
The
word
de
novo
does
mean
that
the
action
completely
starts
over
regardless
of
what
happens
in
a
another
court
de
novo
means
they
can
bring.
New
witnesses
completely
starts
over
and
I
get
that,
but
there
is
wording
in
here
that
I'm
afraid
can
be
interpreted
that
then
they
can't
hear
from
the
state
agency's
intent
of
why
they
they
created
the
the
particular
rule
in
the
first
place.
E
E
Technically
this
applies
to
any
rule
that
has
been
promulgated
by
an
agency.
However,
I
would
point
out
that
an
emergency
rule
is
no
longer
in
effect
after
180
days.
Therefore,
getting
something
in
front
of
a
court
on
an
appeal
in
180
days
is
probably
not
going
to
happen
in
our
current
legal
system.
It
would
take
longer
than
that
to
go
through
the
steps
to
get
there.
So,
basically,
it's
going
to
apply
to
the
rules
that
are
promulgated
through
ordinary
means.
C
E
Thank
you
for
the
question
and
I
will
point
out
that
legislative
intent
is
something
the
courts
are
certainly
free
to
consider.
What
this
bill
does
is
says.
The
executive
agency's
interpretation
of
their
own
rules
is
not
to
be
considered
as
deference,
the
judge
can
certainly
hear
what
their
interpretation
is
and
take
that
into
consideration.
They
just
may
not
defer
to
it
in.
In
essence,
they've
got
to
hear
it
in
a
balance
with
the
others.
E
E
Those
circumstances
may
not
have
come
before
gov
ops
to
use
your
illustration
there,
so
those
interpretations
may
or
may
not
have
been
heard
by
any
legislative
body
or
committee
connected
to
us
until
it
gets
to
the
court.
So
it's
not
a
question
of
deferring
to
legislative
intent.
The
courts
are
certainly
encouraged
to
look
at
legislative
intent.
However,
this
bill
is
not
about
legislative
intent.
E
C
C
E
A
F
E
A
E
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
very
briefly.
What
this
bill
does
is
a
continuation
of
several
bills
that
I
have
brought
to
this
chamber,
trying
to
restore
economic
prosperity
to
a
portion
of
my
district
and
those
around
it
that
has
suffered
from
the
war
on
coal.
This
amendment
has
allowed
them
to
rebound
with
adventure
tourism.
Essentially,
what
it
does
is
allow
small
segments
of
state
roads
to
connect
these
trails
that
atvs
and
bikes
and
hikers
go
on
so
that
they
can
get
from
the
end
of
one
trail
to
the
beginning
of
the
next.
A
A
A
K
K
A
A
A
A
K
K
A
K
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
to
back
up
so
this
bill
was
brought
to
my
by
my
county
attorney.
What
they're
seeking
to
clarify
here,
not
changing
law,
but
to
clarify
that
subsection
f
in
this
in
this
section
of
code,
applies
to
the
the
governmental
body
that
employed
their
own
employees.
So
what's
happened
is
we
have
folks
that
have
moved
into
our
account
just
like
every
county
in
tennessee,
from
from
other
places
and
former
law
enforcement
from
other
jurisdictions
are
calling
into
the
county
and
demanding
that
they
keep
private
certain
records
about
them?
K
A
Representative
freeman
all
right,
very
good,
any
further
discussion,
seeing
any
objection
to
the
question
seeing
none
all
those

A
A
F
A
A
K
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
on
this
bill
here.
2869
with
the
amendment
requires
tennessee
wildlife
resource
agency
to
comply
with
all
proceeds
of
the
department
of
ag
culture
day,
which
is
a
division
of
the
forestry
when
conducting
sales
of
timber
harvested
from
twra
property
that
they
managed
for
the
state
of
tennessee.
Q
K
A
F
K
A
K
A
A
F
L
L
You
speak,
mr
speaker,
members.
This
is
a
cleanup
bill
from
the
department
of
health.
Does
three
things
it
clarifies
the
department
of
health
retains
all
authority
to
carry
its
mission
in
routine
public
health
activities
number
two.
It
prevents
any
confusion
and
disagreements
between
mayors,
the
bill,
clarifies
a
commission
or
a
points
county
health
officer,
and
then
finally,
it
also
clarifies
that
the
governor
does
have
the
authority
to
issue
executive
orders
in
all
95
counties
during
a
state
of
emergency.
With
that,
mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion
chairman.
A
C
L
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
thank
you
representative
for
the
question.
This
just
simply
clarifies
the
governor
has
the
authority,
but
they
just
want
to
make
it
clear
in
statute,
because
there
was
some
question
during
the
state
of
emergency
related
to
the
six
counties
that
had
their
own
health
department.
He
does
have
that
authority,
we're
just
simply
clarifying
that,
because
it
did
create
confusion.
It
does
nothing
more
than
that.
L
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
representative,
that
the
first
point
that
I
reference
we
actually
do
just
that
it
clarifies
that
the
county
health
departments
maintain
their
role
in
mission
related
to
public
health
in
those
counties.
So
we
actually
do
that
within
this
bill.
On
the
first
point
that
I
referenced.
C
L
That
thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Again
this
this
bill
is
from
the
department
of
health
and
it's
based
on
a
piece
of
legislation
that
we
passed
during
the
special
session,
and
we
just
felt
it
was
important
to
provide
clarity
and
again
that's
all
this.
Does
it's
a
very
simple
bill?
There's
nothing
more
other
than
the
three
points
I
mentioned.
It's
just
providing
clarity
to
things
that
are
being
done,
but
just
coming
out
of
the
pandemic,
based
on
the
bill
that
we
pass.
L

L

J

Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
simply
clarifies
the
commissioner
has
always
had
that
authority,
but
because
of
the
pandemic,
there
became
confusion
related
to.
If
the
mayor
had
to
seek
the
approval
of
the
commissioner,
there
just
created
confusion,
specifically
in
knox
county,
where
we
had
our
health
director
step
down.
This
simply
provides
clarity
that
it
is
the
commissioner's
role.
It
always
has
been
we're
just
simply
clarifying
it
here.
L
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
again,
no
truly,
representative
becky.
This
is
just
clarifying
that
the
commissioner
has
the
role
of
employment,
because
that
was
that
was
the
confusion
was
created
during
the
pandemic,
and
then
the
legislation
we
passed
didn't
clarify
that
we
should
have
done
that
here.
This
is
just
clarifying.
The
commissioner
has
the
authority
for
the
appointment.
A
A
F

A

A

Thank
you,
speaker
very
straightforward
bill.
It
just
says
that
to
get
an
organ
transplant
there
cannot
be
one
factor,
one
factor
alone
that
kicks
you
out,
and
that
is
whether
or
not
you
have
had
a
covet
19
vaccination.
The
doctor
can
take
that
into
account
and
it
could
be
one
of
the
factors
that
is
considered,
but
it
cannot
be
the
soul
factor
with
that.
Mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.
B
B
I
want
to
express
my
professional
concern
that
a
transplanted
patient
receives
immunosuppression
therapy,
so
their
immunity
is
low
and
they
are
more
vulnerable
to
infections
and
I'm
sure
the
transplant
surgeons
will
take
that
into
consideration.
With
that,
I
appreciate
your
concern.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.

F
A
K
You,
mr
speaker,
what
the
amendment
does.
It
makes
the
bill
first
of
all
and
it
changes
it
in
a
manner
where
it
only
requires
the
department
of
safety
to
produce
informational
material
on
how
the
public
should
interact
with
law
enforcement
when
the
person
is
being
pulled
over
in
a
traffic.
Stop,
that's
all
it
does
with
that.
Mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion
chairman.
J
If
you're
looking
at
a
video
or
something
it
shows,
you
the
same
thing,
how
we
should
react
for,
especially
those
that
are
getting
the
new
driver's
licenses.
I
know
this
is
not
going
to
do
that,
but
hopefully,
at
some
point
we
can
get
together
and
and
work
on
something
like
that
as
well.
You
know
jiren
talk.
A
Certainly,
sir
representative
miller,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Thank
you
any
further
discussion
saying
no
any
objections
to
the
question.

O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
sponsor
anna.
Thank
you
for
this
legislation.
I
know
you've
been
battling
this
issue
for
a
while
rutherford
county
the
way
I'm
reading
this
is
that
it
removes
local
control
and
I'm
afraid,
I'm
misunderstanding-
that
in
some
ways,
so
you
please
make
clarify
that
this
does
not
remove
local
control
and
decision
about
what's
going
on
in
their
county.
M
Thank
you.
No,
the
the
the
process
of
doing
an
a
landfill
expansion
they
put
in
an
application,
and
then
there
is
a
time
frame
in
which
the
local
board,
the
regional
board,
would
make
a
decision.
And
then,
after
that
there
is
a
whatever
decision.
They
have
there's
a
potential
for
an
appeal,
and
then
that
would
go
to
court
and
then,
after
that
the
commissioner
could
make
the
decision.
It's
always
been
the
intent
of
the
commissioner
to
wait
to
the
very
end.
M
However,
current
the
way
the
current
statute
is
written,
the
commissioner
could
inadvertently
interject
when
there
is
local
input
in
that
first
process
or
even
in
the
appeals
process,
and
so
it's
never
been
his
intent
or
the
the
commission
intent
to
do
that,
and
this
is
just
to
clarify
that
that
process
goes
through.
So
there
is
local
input
there.
O
J
Will
sponsor
yield?
Yes,
dr
terry,
just
want
to
thank
you
for
this
legislation,
as
as
you
and
many
know,
our
locals
are
very
frustrated
with
our
landfill
and
they
feel
like
their
hands,
are
tied
and
it
just
seems
to
keep
expanding,
expand,
expanding
and
just
want
to
thank
you
for
for
this
and
what
you
do
for
our
community.
Thank
you.
J
Representative,
terry,
I
want
to
thank
you
again
for
this
this
bill,
because
we
have
that
problem
in
my
district
as
well.
It
impacts
lives
and
it's
a
health
issue,
and
it
also
is
an
economic
issue
because
it
depresses
our
land
values
of
our
homes,
which
is
most
people's
biggest
and
largest
single
expense
in
their
life
and
investment.

A

A

A
J
You,
mr
speaker,
members.
There
are
two
changes
to
this
bill.
The
first
one
has
to
do
with
what
districts
will
be
appointed
by
by
the
speaker,
the
lieutenant
governor
and
the
governor,
the
speaker
of
the
senate
will
appoint
the
third,
the
fourth
and
the
seventh,
the
speaker
of
the
house,
will
appoint
the
second,
the
sixth
and
the
eighth
and
the
governor
will
appoint
the
first
to
fifth
and
the
ninth
and
then
the
other
change
the
senate
has
in
this.
In
this
amendment
is
that
the
house
will
confirm
the
members
appointed
by
the
speaker.

Thank
you,
mr

in
the
way
of
a
comment
I'd
like
for
this

to
know.
First
of
all
that
I've
had
the
privilege
of
serving
on
natural
resources
the
ag
committee
for
about
20
years,
but
I've
never
served
with
a
better
chairman
than
chairman
harford,
who
is
about
to
retire
at
the
end
of
this
session.
