Tennessee
a
church
that
exists
has
shown
jesus
as
incomparably
glorious.
He
also
founded
knowing
jesus
ministries,
a
non-profit
organization
that
exists
to
proclaim
timeless
truth
for
everyday
life
prior
to
giving
his
life
to
full-time
ministry.
Eric
was
a
cav
scout
and
a
paratrooper
with
the
82nd
airborne
division.
Eric
has
been
married
to
his
wife
katrina
since
2002
and
has
three
children
caleb
who
went
home
to
be
with
the
lord
on
december,
the
1st
of
2019,
his
daughter,
kaylee,
grace
and
kyrah
piper
pastor
eric
if
you'll
open
this
up.
C
C
Lord,
you
called
them
servants
of
you
in
your
word,
and
I
know
it
probably
doesn't
always
feel
like
they're
doing
your
work
in
every
piece
of
legislation
or
committee
that
they're
in
but
lord,
you
see
their
work
as
upholding
justice.
You
see
their
work
as
bringing
flourishing
to
your
people
into
your
creation.
Their
work
is
every
bit
of
gospel
work.
It's
every
bit
of
kingdom
work,
it's
every
bit
of
god,
honoring
work
that
my
work
is,
and
so
I
ask
that
you
give
them
wisdom.
C
I
pray
that
you
would
help
give
them
unity
in
their
work
in
order
to
get
things
done,
that
they
could
never
get
done
on
their
own
and
lord
I
pray
especially
for
their
families.
I
know
in
the
busyness
of
their
work
and
the
stress
of
their
work.
Often
families
are
the
ones
that
go
without
seeing
them,
give
them
favor
and
blessing
in
their
homes.
I
pray
for
their
marriages
for
their
children
and
lord.
I
pray
that
in
the
stillness
of
their
hearts,
when
they
feel
stress
when
they
feel
strained
and
overwhelmed.

Show
your
resolution

by
chairman,
sipiki
and
others.
The
resolution
honor
congratulate
the
2022
mule
day,
queen
kayla
may
gibson.
Whereas
is
fitting
that
the
members
of
this
general
assembly
should
salute
those
young
citizens
who,
through
their
extraordinary
efforts,
have
distinguished
themselves
as
outstanding
tennesseans,
of
whom
we
can
all
be
proud
and
whereas
one
such
noteworthy
person
is
kayla
may
gibson,
who
was
recently
crowned
mule
day
queen
for
2022
and
whereas
an
active
member
of
her
community.
Ms
gibson
has
served
as
miss
murray
county
since
2019
and
helped
with
the
community
family
center.
F
Her
dedication
to
excellence
is
clearly
deserving
of
the
respect
and
admiration
of
this
legislative
body
and
whereas
the
members
of
this
general
assembly
find
it
appropriate
to
pause
in
their
deliberations,
to
acknowledge
and
applaud
this
young
woman
for
her
remarkable
achievement.
Now,
therefore,
being
resolved
with
house
representatives
of
the
winter
12th
general
simulator
state
of
tennessee,
the
senate,
concurring
that
we
honor

have
joined
us
today
to
tell
you

all
about
accompanying
senator
hensley
representative
kirsten,
and
I
today
is
the
2022
mule
day
queen
in
her
court.
Mr
speaker,
would
it
be
okay
for
our
queen
kayla
may
gibson
to
introduce
her
court
and
to
speak
about
mule
day
absolutely.

do
have
a
meeting
place
coming
up
starting

one
day

later,
in
2019
we
had
groundbreaking

This
is
a

moment

B
B
B
E
You,
mr
speaker,
mr
speaker,
I
come
before
you
with
this
piece
of
legislation.
Some
of
y'all
may
think
it's
just
really
simple.
It's
just
about
music!
It's
first
bill
on
the
calendar,
we're
in
music
city
I'll,
tell
you
where
this
bill
kind
of
came
from.
I've
seen
the
great
work
that
jt
cooper
that
I
recognized
earlier
has
done
for
our
veterans.
E
They
used
to
say
we're
22
suicides
a
day,
but
I've
got
a
sister
and
a
nursing
home
and
many
y'all
have
had
to
deal
with
parents
in
nursing
homes,
brothers
and
sisters
had
a
sister
that
failed
hit
her
head.
She
had
a
brain
tumor
years
ago
and
I
heard
her
singing
a
song
and
members.
You
know
what
song
it
was.
E
It
was
john
denver
taking
me
home
country
road.
She
was
at
the
exit
trying
to
escape
from
the
nursing
home,
walked
up
to
see
her
about
two
years
ago,
and
I
said:
hey
how
you
doing
she
said
you
know
how
to
get
out
of
this
place.
I
said
no,
she
didn't
know
my
name,
but
she
knew
the
words
that
song
and
I
started
thinking.
E
Man,
there's
got
to
be
something
here
with
the
power
of
music
and
then
I
started
seeing
the
great
work
that
jt
is
doing
for
veterans
and
I
started
research
and
then
I
come
across
music
therapists,
that's
working
with
parkinson's
patients,
alzheimer's
patients-
I
even
had
a
veteran
a
couple
veterans
came
to
me.
They
said
you
know
they
were
able
to
get
off
prescription
drugs
with
music.
I
had
no
clue
until
I
started
investigating
this.
J
Colleagues,
I'd
like
to
share
a
story
about
a
song
that
I'm
sure
that
we
all
know
very
well,
the
song
that
was
written
by
hershey
horatio
s,
stafford
back
in
the
1800s,
and
it's
a
song
entitled
it
as
well
with
my
soul
many
times
we
sing
these
songs
and
have
no
idea
where
the
words
come
from
or
why?
But
I'd
like
for
you
to
listen
to
this
horatio
spafford
was
a
successful
lawyer
businessman
in
chicago
and
had
a
lovely
family,
a
wife,
anna
and
five
children.
J
J
Although
mr
spafford
had
planned
to
go
with
the
family,
he
found
it
necessary
to
stay
in
chicago
to
help
solve
an
unexpected
business
problem.
He
told
his
wife
that
he
would
join
her
and
their
children
in
europe.
A
few
days
later,
his
plan
was
to
take
another
ship
about
four
days
later
into
the
crossing
of
the
atlanta.
The
villa
de
oro
collided
with
a
powerful
iron
hull
scottish
ship,
the
loch
iron.
J
Suddenly,
all
those
on
on
board
were
in
grave
danger,
and
I
hurriedly
brought
her
four
children
to
the
dock.
She
knelt
there
with
anna
margaret
lee
bessie
and
teneda
and
prayed
that
god
would
spare
them
if
that
would
be
his
will
or
to
make
them
willing
to
endure
whatever
awaited
them
within
approximately
12
minutes.
J
J
The
captain
of
the
ship
brought
him
out
and
he
said
this
is
where
the
ship
went
down.
He
went
back
to
his
cabin
and
he
penned
these
words
when
peace
like
a
river
attendeth.
My
way
when
billows
like
see
when
sorrows
like
sea
bellows
row,
whatever
my
lot
thou
has
taught
me
to
say
it
is
well,
it
is
well
with
my
soul.
B
B
F
B
B
F
B
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
this
amendment
is
the
result
of
a
discussion
that
we
had
in
the
house
education
committee.
Several
concerns
were
raised
by
a
good
colleague
of
that
committee.
A
gentleman
from
perry
county
raised
a
question
that
raised
some
alarms
in
my
mind
about
the
burden
or
the
adverse
action
that
would
be
possible
to
librarians
or
school
employees.
O
O
We
asked
questions
in
the
committee
about
this
language
and
the
sponsor,
I
think,
he'll
admit,
said
that
he
believed
it
to
be
implied.
So
what
I
did
is
just
made
it
express
language
in
this
legislation
and
what
it
does
is.
It
protects
librarians
and
school
employees
from
any
adverse
employment
actions
that
may
be
result
from
the
subjective
political
decisions
of
school
board
members
who
may
make
a
decision
about
these
materials.
O
Now
I
object
to
the
bill
as
a
whole.
That's
no
secret,
but
I
think
if
you
adopt
this
amendment,
you
make
clear
that
the
material
is
the
intent
here
of
and
the
focus
of
this
legislation,
not
the
hard-working
school
librarians
and
public
employees
who
are
simply
doing
their
job
and
their
decisions
and
educated
judgments
about
materials
that
are
appropriate
for
our
children
are
going
to
be
subjected
to
the
subjective,
arbitrary
political
views
of
an
elected
body.
They
should
not
suffer
employment
repercussions
as
a
direct
of
that
school
board's
decision.
O
B
G
G
It
gives
the
permission
and
the
ability
for
the
librarian
to
put
that
back
on
the
shelf,
even
though
the
school
board
has
deemed
it
inappropriate.
And
lastly,
you
can
get
into
a
appeal
decision
of
the
school
board
and
that
was
not
the
intent,
the
original
original
bill.
So
with
that
being
said,
I
make
a
motion
to
move
it
to
the
table.
B
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
I
believe
the
sponsor
of
the
legislation
is,
is
misreading
some
of
the
intent
of
the
amendment.
It
simply
says
that
adverse
action
may
not
be
taken
against
the
school
librarian
or
employee
unless
they
have
been
advised
to
remove
it,
so
they
can't
know
to
remove
something
that
they
haven't
been
advised
to
remove
again
simply
mr
speaker,
sponsor
and
colleagues.
O
O
B
Department
of
situations
representative,
clement,
says,
move
adoption
number
two
chairman
speaking,
has
moved
that
motion
to
the
table.
We
are
voting
on
the
tabling
motion,
all
those
in
favor
vote.
I,
when
the
bell
rings
those
opposed
vote.
No,
as
every
member
voted.
Does
any
member
wish
to
change
the
vote.
I
B
G
G
G
Make
sure
that
before
a
book
is,
is
is
deemed
inappropriate
or
even
age
level
inappropriate?
There
has
to
be
a
process
put
in
place
that
protects,
that
process
of
those
books
being
removed,
and
ultimately
the
decision
of
that
will
be
left
up
to
the
ones
that
represent
those
local
community
standards.
G
Those
school
boards,
those
elected
school
boards
that
are
there
and
put
there
by
the
people
of
their
districts
to
represent
them
of
what
their
community
standards
are
and
determine.
Whether
or
not
a
book
that
is
appealed
by
a
parent
is
objectionable,
is
pornographic,
it's
obscene
or
is
even
grade
level
inappropriate,
and
they
will
take
action
on
that.
Mr
speaker,
that's
all
the
bill
does
and
members.
I
renew
my
motion.
P
B
Oh
it's
non-debatable!
Sorry
about
that.
It's
their
objection
looks
like
there's
ejection
all
right.
We're
voting
on
the
board,
we're
voting
on
the
motion
to
limit
debate
to
two
minutes
per
person,
correct
all
those
in
favor
of
vote.
I,
when
the
bell
rings
those
opposed
vote.
No,
as
every
member
voted
does
any
member
wish
to
change
their.

Thank
you
for
that
question.
Nobody
would
receive
that
penalty
if,
if
the
school
board
deems
that
it's
obscene
or
pornographic
and
makes
and
moves
to
remove
that
from
the
school
library,
the
book
is
removed
from
the
school
library
and
that's
it
the
only
time
a
possible
penalty
could
come
in
here
is
if
a
librarian
did
not
follow
the
direction
of
their
school
board
and
put
that
back
on
the
shelf
in
direct
opposition
to
our
school
board.
G
Chairman
speaking,
we
just
passed
a
bill
about
a
week
and
a
half
or
two
weeks
ago,
sponsored
by
governor
lee.
That
would
create
an
online
database
of
all
of
those
titles.
So
all
the
people
of
that
lea
would
have
the
opportunity
to
look
at
those
titles
and
and
determine
whether
or
not
that
they
found
something
as
objectionable
and
if
they
did,
they
could
make
that
issue
with
the
school
with
the
superintendent.
K
Chairman
dixie,
so
what
if
there's
a
be
a
book?
That's
in
there!
That's
not
on
that
list,
but
a
parent
comes
in
and
says:
hey
out
a
question
is
that
particular
book
and
it's
found
to
meet
those
criteria,
but
it
was
already
in
there.
The
library
didn't
put
it
in
there.
So
does
the
librarian
go
to
jail
because
of
that
chairman
speaking.
G
No
once
again,
the
only
time
the
penalty
would
come
in
is
if
the
school
board
made
a
motion
and
and
voted
in
a
unanimous
decision
to
remove
a
book.
The
only
time
they
were
a
penalty
come
in
is
if
the
librarian
decided
to
just
say,
I'm
not
going
to
do
that
and
put
the
book
on
the
shelf.
Then
title
39
would
come
in
and
say
because
of
that,
that
ruling
by
the
school
board
and
the
action
taken
by
that
librarian,
then
they
have
an
intent
to
distribute
pornographic
or
obscene
material
to
minors.
K
B
R
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
so
we're
limiting
discussion
on
a
build
ban
books
got
it.
My
concern
is
the
same
as
always.
My
concern
is
that
we
have
a
few
people
that
are
going
to
determine
what
books
are
in
a
school
library.
We've
used
the
miller
test
for
50
years.
Librarians,
educators
understand
this
test.
G
Chairman
speaking,
to
answer
your
question
briefly,
the
parents
are
in
this
bill
already
have
the
ability
to
determine
what
they're
going,
what
they're
going
to
allow
their
students
to
read,
but
the
obscene
pornographic
nature
of
this
material
and-
and
I'm
sure
you
know
the
material
we're
talking
about.
You
probably
heard
it
read
in
committee
that
when
it
was
heard
in
committee,
the
violence
of
the
language
used
for
our
elementary
and
middle
school
children,
even
our
high
school
children,
should
never
be
heard,
and
so
I
appreciate
your
concerns
represent
johnson.
R
G
The
definition
is
this:
the
average
person
applying
contemporary
community
standards
would
find
that
the
work
taken
as
a
whole
appeals
to
the
prairie
interest.
Also,
the
average
person
applying
contemporary
community
standards
would
find
that
the
work
depicts
and
describes
an
apparently
offensive
way.
Sexual
conduct
and
the
work
taken
as
a
whole
lacks
serious
literary,
artistic,
political
or
scientific
value.
B
Q
G
G
In
the
bill,
there's
only
two
two
provisions
where
the
state
would
even
come
into
play.
The
first
one
is
all
the
lea
has
to
do
is
adopt
the
process
on
how
a
complaint
would
be
handled.
That
would
satisfy
the
the
department
of
education
in
the
bill,
and
the
second
part
is:
if
any
book
is
removed
from
a
library
yearly
annually,
they
would
have
to
file
a
report
with
the
department
of
education
just
so
they
can
track
those
books.
Q
A
I'm
just
concerned
that
this
legislation
could
be
used
to
subjectively
eliminate
education
materials
that
people
misjudge
to
be
harmful
or
offensive
strictly
due
to
their
own
personal
prejudice
or
bias.
It
would
also
appear,
as
you
referenced
earlier,
that
house
bill
1944
is
not
needed
due
to
the
most
recent
age
appropriate
bill
that
we
passed
in
the
chamber.
I
think
just
last
week
or
the
week
before
in
knox
county.
A
There
are
already
protocols
in
place
to
address
the
concerns
of
this
material,
and
I
guess
last
week
on
channel
4
here
in
nashville,
there
was
a
news
story
that
talked
in
great
detail
about
an
educator
shortage.
We
have
across
our
state
and
it
referenced
the
county
very
close
by
if
a
prospective
teacher
is
looking
to
come
to
tennessee.
After
hearing
all
the
details
of
this
legislation
we
have
been
discussing,
I
have
to
ask
myself
what
incentive
do
they
have
to
do
so?
A
G
Is
that
correct,
german
speaking?
No,
that's
not
correct
what
the
bill
does.
It
allows
librarians
and
allows
teachers
to
do
their
job
as
they've
been
paid
to
do
for
100
years
in
tennessee
or
more
it
it.
It
provides
a
process
for
protection
for
them
that
if
any
one
group
tries
to
target
a
librarian
that
there's
a
process
in
place
to
protect
the
library
and
a
teacher
from
doing
their
job,
the
intent
of
the
legislation
is
to
make
sure
two
things
number
one.
G
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
sponsor
you
say
it
protects
the
teacher
by
instilling
by
installing
a
process,
but
what,
if
that
process
results
in
a
decision
against
a
book?
What
is
to
prevent
that
school
board
from
then
taking
advantage
of
employment
action
against
that
teacher
for
having
that
book
on
that
bookshelf?
To
begin
with.
G
Well,
at
the
beginning,
there
was
no
intent
for
the
distributed
district,
the
distribution
of
pornographic
or
obscene
material,
because
the
lea
had
not
ruled
on
that.
Once
the
school
board
rules
that
a
particular
textbook
is
pornographic
or
or
obscene,
then
title
39
would
come
into
place
if
a
teacher
went
against
their
school
board
after
they've
ruled
on
this
or
a
librarian
after
they've
ruled
on
that
on
the
decision
on
the
book
and
still
distribute
it
to
minors.
G
O
G
That
decision
would
be
left
up
to
the
local
school
boards
on
what
they
want,
as
one
of
the
other
representatives
from
shelby
county
stated
that
this
decision
needs
to
be
left
at
the
local
level
with
those
school
board.
Members
who
are
elected
by
the
people
of
that
of
that
community
to
espouse
their
community
standards
and
what
a
reasonable
person
would
deem
obscene
or
pornographic.
O
G
Yes,
but
I'd
like
to
come
back
and
clarify
something
that
another
representative
made
a
statement
on
that
was
incorrect.
The
statement
was
made
that
if
you
support
this
bill,
then
you
are
supporting
obscene
and
pornographic
materials
in
our
in
our
school
system.
And
if
you
voted
no,
then
you
weren't
and
it's
just
the
opposite.
If
you
vote
yes
for
this
bill,
you
are
supporting
keeping
pornographic
material
and
obscenity
and
age
level
inappropriate
from
our
classrooms.
And
if
you
vote
no,
then
you
would
be.
G
D
G
Very
clear
excuse
me
very
clearly
defined
in
the
community
standards
that
it's
based
off
of
where
a
local
school
board
has
afforded
this
opportunity
to
decide
based
off
what
their
views,
their
values,
what
their
community
elected
them
to
do,
that
it
would
give
them
the
latitude
to
deem
obscene
or
pornographic
or
age
level
appropriate
at
the
at
the
smallest
level
possible
at
the
local
at
the
local
level.
There's
nothing
in
this
bill
that
creates
a
state
mandate
on
obscenity
or
or
pornography.
D
P
G
Thank
you
for
the
question.
So
to
reiterate,
there
is
no.
There
is
no
penalty
in
law
until
a
school
board
rules
on
whether
a
book
is
pornographic
or
obscene
and
makes
a
ruling
on
that
to
direct
the
librarian
to
remove
the
school
that
that
text
permanently.
If
a
librarian
would
basically
tell
their
school
board,
we're
not
going
to
listen,
I'm
not
going
to
listen
to
you
and
I'm
going
to
do
what
I
want.
Then
the
changes
in
title
39
would
take
place
first
time.
Offense
would
be,
I
believe,
a
class.
A
misdemeanor.
L
B
D
G
Thank
you
I'll
answer
that
question
for
you
currently
in
title
39.
If
somebody
has
the
intent
to
distribute
pornographic
or
obscene
materials
to
minors,
first
offense
is
a
classy
class.
A
misdemeanor
second
offense
is
a
class
d
felony.
There
is
an
exemption
for
all
of
k-12
for
that.
So
if
somebody
has
possession
of
obscene
or
pornographic
material
with
the
intent
to
distribute
the
miners
with
the
intent
to
distribute
that
to
minors,
I
would
hope
we
would
all
stand
together
and
say
that
is
not
reprehensible.
P
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
have
you
looked
into
the
groups
that
are
behind
this
national
movement
that
all
of
a
sudden
has
found
all
these
problems
in
school
libraries
that
for
decades,
we've
never
had
before?
Have
you
looked
at
any
of
the
groups
like
parents,
defending
education,
moms
for
liberty?
Have
you
looked
at
the
funding
and
where
all
that
sort
of
thing
comes
from
these
groups
that
created
this
problem,
that
for
some
reason
we
never
had
to
deal
with
for
years
and
years
and
years.
G
Now
I
assume
you're
talking
about
the
parents
of
tennessee
who
are
still
concerned
about
the
education
of
their
st
of
their
of
their
children
and
what
they're
being
taught
they
have
risen
up
and
said.
We
want
to
know
what
is
in
our
school
libraries
and
what
are
our
children
are
being
taught.
So
if,
once
again,
if
you're
asking
me
have
I
studied
the
parents
of
tennessee
who
are
concerned
about
their
children,
I
think
seven
and
a
half
hours
of
debate
in
criminal
justice
committees
have
proven
that.
Yes,
the
people
are
well
aware
of
their
rights.
P
And
here's
my
problem,
unfortunately,
debate's
been
cut
off,
so
you
and
I
can't
go
through
this
in
detail.
The
problem
is
that's
how
none
of
that
is
true,
and
it's
all
that
whole
debate
was
largely
made
up.
I
mean
this
is
all
a
funded
effort
by
groups
like
parents,
defending
education
run
by
nicole
nelly,
a
koch
brothers
operative
to
make
life
hard
for
public
schools,
because
the
people
funding
these
organizations
are
fundamentally
against
public
schools.
B
B
B
B
F
B
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
members.
This
piece
of
legislation
would
encourage
us
to
look
at
adopting
in
our
standards
for
social
study
the
non-violent
teachings
of
dr
martin
luther
king
jr.
It
would
be
for
grades
nine
through
12,
and
I
think
this
is
a
wonderful
opportunity
for
us
to
talk
about
again.
Dr
king's
non-violent
approach
to
making
our.
B
B
A
B
P
B
F
B
P
N
B
P
You,
mr
speaker
and
members,
this
piece
of
legislation
will
ins
marshall,
in
conjunction
with
the
department
of
safety,
to
promulgate
rules
that
will
adopt
minimal
building
standards
for
commercial,
multi-level
structures
to
mitigate
the
damage
that
may
result
in
blasts
from
explosives
and
then
entries
into
structures
from
vehicles
without
a
room.
New
emotion.
B
B
F
B
B
F
B
M
You're
recognized,
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
it
is
amended.
This
bill
requires
a
sheriff
deputy
sheriff
or
constable
prior
to
or
at
the
time
of,
serving
someone
with
an
order
of
protection
or
ex
parte
order,
protection
that
they
make
reasonable
effort
to
determine
whether
the
person
being
served
has
an
outstanding
criminal
warrant.
M
The
law
enforcement
agency
serving
the
order,
did
not
check
to
see
if
he
had
any
outstanding
warrants
criminally
and
sean
varso's
did
have
two
outstanding
warrants:
one
for
false
imprisonment
and
another
one
for
aggravated
assault
that
both
of
these
warrants
were
for
criminal
activity
against
his
ex-wife,
the
victim.
So
with
that
explanation,
pending
further
questions,
I
I
want
to
say
that
we
regret
the
loss
of
these
two
fine
women
and
how
to
better
protect
vulnerable
citizens
going
forward
with
this
piece
of
legislation.
B
F
B
B
J
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Once
again
I
would
like
to
introduce
the
the
bible
as
the
state
book
we
voted
on
this
last
year
and
there
were
some
problems
in
the
senate,
so
we
had
to
bring
it
back
again
this
year.
The
hjr
that
we
brought
last
year
is
the
same
as
this
one,
with
the
exception
of
some
of
the
language.
J
J
in
2018,
the
printing
of
bibles
and
related
materials
generated
597.7
million
dollars
in
sales.
It's
been
translated
into
every
language
that
has
a
written
form.
It
forms
the
basis
of
our
western
philosophy.
The
biblical
concepts
of
natural
law
and
god-given
rights
form
the
basis
of
american
political
thought.
J
J
The
matrix
is
so
full
of
biblical
archetypes
and
references
there
that
there
have
been
multiple
books,
written
about
them.
Harry
potter,
references,
the
the
bible,
some
of
lady
gaga's,
songs
and
born
this
way.
Dolly
parton's
coat
of
many
colors
represents
the
story
of
joseph
in
the
bible,
words
in
idiom,
expressions
in
american
history
and
english
come
directly
from
the
bible.
J
J
With
all
of
this,
I'd
just
like
to
ask
you
to
join
with
me
in
voting
the
bible,
this
hjr,
all
that
it
does.
It
asks
the
secretary
of
state
to
put
it,
it
doesn't
ask
him.
It
informs
him
to
put
this
into
the
blue
book,
and
that's
all
that
it
does
didn't,
require
anyone
to
do
anything
else
just
to
recognize
it
as
our
state
book.
Thank
you.
I
renew
my
motion.
L
L
L
L
J
J
J
And
I
just
ask
you
to
think,
as
I
do
as
the
salamander
and
the
largemouth
bass
and
whatever
other
animal
or
flower
may
be
in
the
state
book,
it
was
all
created
by
that
god
that
representative
shaw
wrote
from
some
people
thinks
it's
wrong
to
put
it
in
there
with
a
fish
or
an
animal.
God
created
those
things
and
he
created
you
and
I
and
he
created
government.
He
created
civil
government.
J
I
don't
know
how
that
we
could
separate
who,
god
is
from
who
that
we
are
and
from
everything
that
we
do
in
life
from
the
hotel
rooms
that
the
gideons
put
the
bibles
in
to
our
homes,
that
the
bible's
in
and
to
tell
me
that
it
doesn't
belong
in
our
state.
It's
to
tell
me
that
we
don't
want
god
any
longer
in
our
country,
which
is
what
we're
doing.
L
L
We
are
saying
that
we
are
state
that
the
that
the
bible
is
our
book,
because
we
know
not
everybody
in
the
state
of
tennessee
we'd
love
for
everybody
to
read
it
we'd
love
for
everybody
to
live
by,
but
they
don't,
but
I'm
not
asking
to
take
it
out
of
the
home
and
out
of
the
state,
I'm
asking
not
to
make
it
a
state
book,
because
you
technically
technically
cannot
make
this
a
state
book.
You
mean,
god,
wasn't
thinking
about
nobody
but
tennessee
when
he
created
this
earth.
L
L
So
when
we
start
here,
we
get
the
message
right
and
I
just
want
to
go
on
record.
I
love
the
lord.
I
want
this
book
to
be
in
everybody's
home.
I
want
everybody
to
read
it
and
to
obey
it,
but
I
can't
pass
no
law
and
make
them
do
that.
That's
something
that
has
to
be
done
as
a
witness
through
jesus
christ,
our
lord
and
savior,
in
jerusalem,
in
judea
and
in
all
of
the
portions
of
the
world,
god
bless
you.
J
J
That's
the
reason
that
the
word
of
god
has
to
be
shared
with
people,
because
not
everyone
hears
it
and
you
did
mention
about
bringing
god
down,
and
I'm
glad
that
I
brought
him
down
into
my
heart.
As
you
mentioned,
we
bring
god
into
our
hearts.
So,
yes,
I
brought
him
down
to
where
that
I
am-
and
I
am
not
ashamed
to
put
the
bible
in
the
blue
book
as
our
state
book,
not
the
bible
as
a
state
book,
but
the
bible
as
the
official
state
book
of
tennessee.
It's
still
the
holy
word
of
god.
J
I'm
not
ashamed
to
do
that.
I
know
that
others
thinks
it's
wrong
and
I
appreciate
your
opinion
and
I
hope
that
you'll
agree
with
me
that
it
would
be
a
good
thing
for
our
people
to
read
it
now.
They
they
said
that
they
had
to
take
the
ten
commandment
stands
out
of
schools
because
they
were
afraid
someone
would
read
it.

You,
mr
speaker,
so
last
year
we
passed
the
cpa
and,
as
municipalities
were
trying
to
put
it
into
into
use,
we
realized
there
was
some
oversight
in
the
language
that
contradicted
each
other.
It's
largely
a
cleanup
bill.
The
clarification
of
the
definition
is
in
what
a
commercial
property
is
the
bill
states
that
a
property
owned
by
a
state
or
local
government
but
leads
to
a
private
entity
such
as
the
housing
authority,
industrial
development
authority.
D
B
B
B
N
B
B
B
B
S
You,
mr
speaker,
this
bill
would
open
up
certain
state
jobs
to
applicants
that
do
not
have
a
four-year
degree
or
maybe
even
working
on
a
four-year
degree.
The
department
commissioners
would
determine
which
jobs
that
this
would
fall
into.
They
would
have
the
final
say
and
with
and
with
that.
Mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.

We've
had
a
lot
of
good
times
and
god's
blessed
lives
and
you've
been
through
a
tough
time,
but
these
people
in
this
house
here
and
their
families
and
their
churches
has
been
praying
for
you,
and
we
want
to
thank
god
that
you're
standing
back
in
that
way.
Oh
and
if
this
is
your
last
meal,
we
just
want
to
say
to
you:
you've
been
a
blessing
to
know
and
a
joy
to
serve
with
and
you're
one
of

hardest

B

B

You,
mr
speaker,
house,
bill
2288
changes
statute
with
regard
to
time
shares
under
current
law.
If
a
person
buys
a
time
share
and
has
buyer's
remorse,
they
have
up
to
10
days
to
either
hand,
deliver
or
mail
a
notice
that
they
want
to
cancel
the
or
terminate
the
purchase.
This
simply
adds
a
third
option,
which
is
that
you
can
send
an
email
which
would
ultimately
put
a
time
stamp
on
it.
Mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.
B
B
D
D
Hicks
you're
recognized.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Members
house,
bill
2743,
as
amended,
allows
the
investment
committee
for
the
tcrs
board
of
trustees
to
divest
from
any
investment
it
has
with
an
entity
found
to
be
doing
business
with
with
or
supporting
a
country
sanctioned
by
the
u.s
department
of
treasury.
Mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion
chairman.

I
B
I
You,
mr
speaker,
members.
This
legislation
is
amended
as
straightforward
as
we
have
seen
rapid
growth
in
the
solar
industry
in
recent
years,
and
this
led
and
this
legislation
comes
from
concerns
expressed
by
landowners.
Put
simply,
the
bill
requires
each
large
lease
for
the
installation
of
solar
equipment
to
include
a
decommissioning
plan
with
financial
assurances.
B
B
B
B
B
I
B
I
B
B
B
S
Thank
you,
mr
speaker
house
bill
24,
I'm
sorry
senate
bill,
2454,
well
many
organizations
throughout
our
state
that
would
like
to
raise
money
and
support
local
charities
right
now.
They
are
currently
prevented
from
raising
funds
until
five
years
after
receiving
their
501c3
or
501c19
designation
senate
bill.
2454
simply
lowers
that
blackout
period
from
five
years
to
three
years
and
with
that
I'll
renew
my
motion
term
powers.
B
S
Currently,
history
and
economic
culture
and
political
government
curriculums
are
comparing
and
contrasting
the
theoretical
principles
of
capitalism
and
socialism
and
communism,
as
expressed
through
adam
smith
and
karl
marx.
We
know
that
the
job
of
educators
is
to
take
accurate,
unbiased
material
to
the
students.
An
objective
of
this
bill
is
not
to
force
a
specific
ideology
on
students,
but
to
teach
them
our
founding
principles,
and
with
that,
mr
speaker,
I've
been
knew.
My
motion
chairman.
R
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
think
you
said
about
no
bias.
The
idea
is,
we
teach
all
of
those
systems
in
high
school
every
one
of
those
systems
and
we
teach
students
how
to
think
not
what
to
think
I've
heard
people
in
this
body
and
committees
talk
about
oh
well.
Some
survey
said
this:
many
young
people,
okay,
if
you're
thinking
that
that's
because
it's
being
taught
in
schools,
it's
absolutely
not.
We
teach
facts
and
we
teach
how
to
think.
R
S
Thank
you,
yes,
well
I'll,
be
glad
to
answer
that
or
or
respond
to
it
but
yeah.
We
we
believe
in
the
and
our
founding
principles,
and
we
believe
what
this
country
was
founded
on,
that
capitalism
is
better
than
socialism
or
communism
right
now,
they're
just
teaching
they're,
comparing
the
economic
systems.
We
want
to
teach
the
virtues
of
it
and
teach
the
republic
form
of
government
is
the
best
type
of
government
in
the
world.
R
S
We're
not
we're
actually
trying
to
teach
them
the
virtues
of
it.
You
know
we
have
students
that
come
out
and
I've
seen
students
in
high
school
wearing
a
che
guevaro
t-shirt
and
he
was
a
communist,
a
mass
murderer
who
worked
for
fidel
castro.
So
yes,
they're
learning
something
in
school
that
we're
not
teaching
or
they're
learning
something
somewhere.
We
want
to
teach
them
that
capitalism
is
better
than
socialism
and
communism.
O
S
I
think
all
we
have
to
do
is
look
at
some
other
countries
that
have
tried
the
others.
If
we
look
at
cuba,
venezuela,
china,
north
korea,
other
countries
that
have
tried
communism
and
socialism,
that's
all
we
have
to
do
is
look
to
them
and
compare
our
form
of
government
and
what
what
our
economic
system
is
as
compared
to
those
those
people
are
starving
to
death
and
those
people
are
dying
in
those
countries
and
we
have
the
best
form
of
government
in
the.

Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
read
today
in
the
tennessean,
something
I
predicted
a
few
weeks
ago
was
coming.
The
tennessean
has
reported
that
our
governor
lee
wants
to
increase
our
debt
to
500
million,
to
fund
to
help
fund
a
new
billion
dollar
titans
dome
stadium.
I
for
one
am
not
for
that.
They
can
fund
their
own
stadium.
My
district
needs
things,
not
a
titan
stadium,
as
you
recall,
in
the
national
draft
a
couple
years
ago,
the
titans
attacked
this
assembly
for
its
values
and
attacked
us
on
national
tv,
and
now
they
want
money.
