I'm

Thank.
B
You,
mr
speaker,
and
thank
you
members,
members
holy
week,
is
a
big
deal
at
our
house.
We,
we
celebrate
easter
in
a
big
way
with
my
parents,
my
wife,
our
children.
This
weekend,
lord
willing
be
no
exception,
but
holy
week
always
reminds
me
of
who
we
are
as
humans
and
we
are
fallible.
You
know
we
wake
up
in
the
morning
charged
and
armed
for
god
and
then
so
quickly.
Do
we
do
we
fall
apart
throughout
the
day.
B
I
thought
about
that
on
palm
sunday
last
week
when
when
jesus
came
in,
of
course,
we
know
the
story
of
him
riding
on
that
donkey
and
the
people
laid
their
coats
down.
They
laid
palm
branches
down
and
they
lauded
him
because
they
thought
that
he
was
going
to
be
the
liberator
of
israel
and
the
tradition
of
the
maccabees
and
the
others
that
had
come
before
him
that
they
were
going
to
liberate
a
tormented
and
oppressed
people.
B
Of
course,
as
the
week
went
on
his
welcome
wore
out-
and
here
we
are
at
monday
thursday,
when
it
turned
somber
and
he
celebrated
the
passover
there
in
the
upper
room
with
his
disciples
and
as
the
dinner
wore
on
things
got
darker
and
darker,
he
washed
the
disciples
feet.
He
he
taught
them
one
of
his
last
lessons,
and
he
said
this
is
the
last
time
I'll
celebrate
this
meal
and
by
nightfall
they're
in
the
garden
he's
arrested
and
tomorrow
the
trial
begins
at
9
a.m.
B
How
fickle
we
are
as
a
people.
We
laud
him
one
day.
We
deny
him
the
next,
but
it's
because
of
sunday
that
redeems
us,
and
that
is
what
heals
a
broken
people,
it's,
what
heals
a
broken
country
and
it's
what
will
heal
us
so
amen
all
right,
looking
forward
to
sunday,
father
god,
we
thank
you
so
much.
We
thank
you
for
the
gift
of
jesus
and
we
thank
you
for
the
gift
of
love.
B
We
thank
you
for
our
mistakes
and
what
we
learn
from
them.
We
thank
you
for
the
redemption
power
that
jesus
brought
to
us.
Lord
help
us,
as
we
go
throughout
this
weekend,
to
remember
what
we
are
honoring
and
what
we
are
celebrating.
Please
give
us
safe
passage
as
we
head
home
and
as
we
head
back
next
week
in
your
son's
holy
name,
we
pray,
amen.

Thank
you,
mr

house
bill
1091
removes
the
provision
that
prohibits
the

of
an

to
the
board

dentistry,
who
is
regularly
employed
by
or
a

also
clarifies
a
time
frame.
The
governor
should
feel
vacancies
and
eligibility
of
persons
considered
for
the
dentistry
board.
Appointment
with
that,
I
renew
my
motion.
A
A
C
A
E
Campbell,
you
are
recognized.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
bill
changes
the
allowed
weekly
attendance
time
for
a
child
in
a
parent's
day
out
or
similar
program
operated
by
a
religious
institution
or
organization,
from
not
more
than
two
days
in
each
calendar
week
to
not
more
than
six
to
not
more
than
12
hours
within
a
calendar
week.
So
currently
they
can
do
two
days
a
week
six
hours
a
day.
This
would
allow
them
the
same
12
hours
but
of
their
own
choosing,
and
with
that
I
renew
my
motion
representative.
D
Good
morning,
leader
campbell,
I
want
to
say
I
do
like
your
math
skills
with
this
bill.
Dividing
12
hours
by
four
days
or
five
days
is
a
really
neat
idea,
substantive
legislation,
but
I
I
need
to
I'm
under
the
impression
that
that
this
is
your
first
bill
on
the
house
floor.
For
this
go
around
right.
D
D
D
Medal
participation
trophy
well,
it's
interesting,
as
I
learned
more
about
you,
I
I
I
understand
that
you've
been
called
the
phil
donahue
of
wrestling
commentary.
Commentators
that
you're
a
very
famous
wrestling
commentator
in
your
neck
of
the
woods-
and
I
I
don't
know
I
just
gotta-
find
out
a
little
bit
of
information
to
verify,
see
if
see
what
kind
of
skills
you
bring
to
the
mic.
E
F
D
A
A
A
C
D
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
In
2017
the
110th
general
assembly
fund
it
passed
and
funded
the
strong
act
which
created
a
tuition
reimbursement
program
for
eligible
members
of
the
tennessee
national
guard.
The
act
currently
provides
for
tuition
reimbursement
to
our
national
guard
members
for
their
first
bachelor's
degree.
D
This
bill
today
expands
eligibility
for
tuition
reimbursement
to
our
guard
members
who
are
seeking
a
master's
degree
or
vocational
or
technical
program
certificate.
These
updates
on
the
bills
have
been
developed
by
the
department
of
military
education
services
as
a
way
to
better
meet
the
needs
of
our
tennessee
army
and
air
national
guard.
Mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.
A
A
A
C
A
K
K
K
This
bill
provides
a
mechanism
for
chronically
debilitated
or
incapacitated
inmates
to
be
certified
for
parole
consideration
if
the
inmates
at
least
70
years
of
age,
he
served
a
minimum
of
five
years
in
custody
towards
a
sentence
and
he's
not
serving
a
sentence
for
a
violent
sex,
offense
or
a
sentence
of
life
without
parole
and
has
at
least
two
sworn
affidavits
from
doctors,
one
of
whom
is
tennessee
department
of
corrections.
Steve
met
chief
medical
officer
certifying
that
this
inmate
and
his
condition
is
chronic,
it's
incurable
and
will
likely
result
in
the
inmates
death
within
one
year.
K
So
that
is
a
mechanism
to
parole
that
type
of
inmate
out.
We
have
several
million
dollar
inmates
in
the
penitentiary.
This
will
release
them
on
parole
to
either
their
home
with
hospice
or
to
a
nursing
home,
and
so
they
will
be
on
parole
like
any
any
other
parolee
and
they
won't
be
out
committing
crime
unless
benny
hen
comes
and
visits
them.
So
that's
what
this
bill
does
with
that.
I
renew
my
motion.

Speaker
members,
this
bill
requires
the
sex
offender
treatment
board
to
compile
and
post
on
the
board's
website,
a
list
of
approved
sex
offender,
evaluators
and
treatment
providers.
The
bill
also
requires
that
only
board
approved
providers
may
provide
this
evaluation
and
treatment
and
any
unapproved
provider
who
provides
such
services
will
be
reported
to
the
provider's
professional
licensing
authority
for
disciplinary
action.
And
with
that,
mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.
A
A
D
A
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Members.
This
bill
is
really
an
alignment
bill
between
state
code
and
federal
regulations.
Last
year,
the
general
assembly
passed
public
chapter
708,
which
updated
the
process
for
child
abuse,
reporting
and
investigation
in
our
schools.
The
new
law
prohibits
school
officials
from
notifying
parents
of
suspected
child
abuse
and
child
sexual
abuse
and
requires
the
district
to
refer
any
questions
from
parents
to
the
investigating
law
enforcement
agency.
D
Well,
last
august
the
u.s
department
of
education
enacted
new
regulations
under
title
ix
of
the
civil
rights
act
of
64,
which
prohibits
discrimination
on
the
basis
of
sex
and
education
program
or
activity.
The
new
regulations
require
districts
to
notify
parents
during
the
title
ix,
so
this
is
lining
up
what
we
did
a
year
ago
with
state
code
and
and,
and
it
says,
house
bill
7475
as
amended,
addresses
this
issue
by
allowing
parental
notification
if
all
the
following
conditions
are
met
and
gives
three
different
conditions
that
I
can
explain.
A
A
C
C
E
D
A
C
F
A
A
F
F
A
K
A
F
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Basically,
what's
going
to
happen,
is
this
bill
is
going
to
require
agencies
to
re-look
at
their
rules
right
now,
the
only
time
that
they
are
required
to
re-look
at
them
is
if
this
this
body
passes
a
bit
of
legislation
that
requires
them
to
do
something
to
the
rules.
If
there
is
no
legislation
from
this
body,
they
don't
have
to
look
at
them.
So
all
this
bill
is
doing
is
saying
that
eight
years
is
long
enough.
You
need
to
go
back
and
look,
and
if
there
are
changes,
bring
them
to
us.
F
A
K
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
yeah.
I
think
we
all
know
that's
different,
of
course,
from
support
for
the
bill,
and
I
think
my
concern
is
that
this
will
create
a
significant
burden
on
the
people.
We
rely
on
to
build
our
roads,
to
enforce
our
laws,
to
protect
the
environment,
and
essentially,
what
it
requires
is
a
mandatory,
relook
or
redo
of
every
regulatory
decision.
That's
been
made.
K
It
sounds
good,
but
as
a
practical
matter,
it
seems
to
me
what
you're
doing
is
creating
a
situation
where
these
bodies
are
going
to
have
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
and
energy
on
this
administrative
process,
even
when
no
one
has
really
called
upon
them
to
do
so.
It
also,
it
seems
to
me,
creates
a
kind
of
a
log
jam
where
interest
groups
that
we
rely
on
for
these
administrative
bodies
for
regulation
will
now
have
an
opportunity
essentially
to
step
in
and
negate
regulations.
F
F
That
force
of
law
of
a
rule
is
something
that
I
think
this
body,
and
I
know
I
personally
jealously
guard,
because
we
are
an
independent
branch
of
government.
Our
charter
is
to
create
law.
We
collectively
constantly
go
through
old
laws
and
look
at
them
and
bring
new
laws
to
to
change
them.
However,
except
for
those
of
us
that
serve
on
government
operations,
we
don't
really
routinely
go
through
old
rules.
This
bill
is
requiring
those
who
created
those
rules
to
go
back
and
look
at
them
again.
F
As
far
as
the
log
jam
is
concerned,
the
bill
sets
it
up
in
a
rotation
so
that
not
everybody
has
to
do
it
at
once.
Furthermore,
if
the
agency
determines,
they
have
no
requirement
to
change
the
rule
and
they
certify
that
to
the
government
operations
committee,
then
they're
good
for
another
review
period.
K
It
seems
to
me
that
you're
creating
a
situation
where
now
all
of
their
rules
are
going
to
be
essentially
up
for
review
and
and
what
that
really
means
is
that
all
of
their
rules
will
now
be
subject.
It
seems
to
me
to
potential
challenge
by
interest
groups.
If
the
review
is
deemed
insufficient,
it
seems
like
you're,
creating
kind
of
a
potential
litigation
bonanza,
I'm
a
lawyer,
maybe
I
shouldn't
be
speaking.
Maybe
I
should
be
taking
joy
in
this
potential
future
litigation.
K
I
just
think
your
bill
as
you
describe.
It
sounds
like
a
simple
matter,
but-
and
then
you
and
I
have
talked
about
these
things
before-
I
think
what
you're
proposing
is
a
vast
change
in
the
way
our
state
operates,
one
that
can
have
a
lot
of
unexpected
consequences
and,
in
particular,
could
give
rise
to
a
lot
of
challenges
to
rules
based
on
this
process
that
we've
been
relying
on
for
many
years
for
things
like
protecting
our
parks,
protecting
our
road
keeping
our
roads,
safe,
etc.
K
So,
since
we've
made
it
this
far
without
this
bill,
I'm
gonna
respectfully
vote
against
it.
I
don't
think
it's
something
that
anybody
feels
is
necessary.
I
don't
hear
the
administration
that
controls
all
these
bodies
asking
for
it,
so
I
think
we
could
probably
move
on
without
this
and
do
just
fine.
Thank
you.
F
F
F
As
I
said
in
doing
my
research
for
this
bill,
I
found
some
rules
that
had
been
on
the
books
for
over
20
years
unexamined
and
they
were
very
obviously
obsolete
and
out
of
date,
if
I
can
find
those
with
just
doing
simple
research,
I
am
certain
that
there
are
more
that
I
didn't
find
and
it's
the
responsibility
of
those
agencies
to
look
at
their
own
rules
in
my
mind,
and
I
would
ask
you
to
support
the
bill.
Thank
you,
mr.
A
A
A
A
A
F
F
That's
a
lot
folks
when
we
see
audits
with
one
or
two
we're
concerned,
but
an
agency
that
shows
up
with
10
we're
gravely
concerned.
The
audit
report
is
in
the
supplemental
material
on
your
house
dashboard.
I
would
encourage
you
to
look
at
it
beyond
what
this
amendment
said
by
august,
the
31st.
This
agency
is
also
required
to
submit
a
written
response
by
june.

underprivileged
youth
in
oak
ridge,
he's
also
possessor
of
a
bachelor
and
a
master's
degree
from
maria

in
eastern
kentucky
and
he's

Mr
speaker,
this
bill
requires,
by
the
school
year
2122
the
local
board
of
education
or
public
charter
school,
develop
and
adopt
academic
acceleration
policy
for
the
enrollment
of
students
from
the
7th
through
12th
grade
in
any
available
advanced
english
language,
art,
mathematics
or
science
courses.
This
bill
authorizes
local
local
lease
to
incorporate
additional
criteria
which
may
include
a
student's
results
on
local
assessments,
a
student's
high
school
plan
of
study
and
self-nomination,
along
with
teacher
recommendation.
M
M
M
You
include
science
and
english,
but
it
was
important
to
me
because,
when
I
was
growing
up
when
I
was
in
high
school,
the
way
that
I
got
into
advanced
coursework,
because
my
best
friend's
mom
was
the
principal
and
she
set
my
schedule
for
me,
she's
like
this
is
what
you're
gonna
do,
and
so
I
just
assumed
that
happened
for
everybody,
and
I
did
not
know
so.
This
will
level
the
playing
field
and
hopefully
get
more
students
prepared
for
college
and
moving
to
matriculate
through
life.
So
with
that
explanation,
I
renew
my
motion.
A
A
A
A
A
D
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker
and
chairman
marsh.
I
just
wanted
to
inquire.
We,
our
small
businesses,
I
have
several
micro
breweries
in
my
district
and
we
have
them
all
across
the
state
of
tennessee
and
our
barrel.
Tax
is
one
of
the
highest
in
the
country.
To
the
best
of
my
understanding,
can
you
explain
to
me?
I
fully
support
the
litter
fund,
but
how
did
we
tie
the
barrel
tax
to
the
fund
to
make
that
fund
the
litter
fund?
Can
you
explain
that
history?
For
me.
D
Speaker
pro
tim
marsh,
I'm
I'm
really
not
sure
how
that
is
tied
into
it.
I
just
know
this
this
fund
it
produces
between
six
and
eight
million
dollars
a
year
from
the
tax
on
beer
and
the
tax
on
soft
drinks,
and
it
all
goes
to
the
litter
cleanup.
I'm
not
exactly
sure
how
that
how
that
works.
I
know
we
do
have
a
high
very
high,
probably
the
highest
in
the
nation
barrel
tax,
and
I
think
we
should
take
that
up
on
another
piece
of
legislation.
O
A
B
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
G
Speaker
and
members,
although
we
do
some
very
serious
work
on
the
house
floor
and
in
nashville
on
behalf
of
our
people,
your
speaker
did
take
part
in
a
little
bit
of
an
april
fool's
joke,
along
with
myself
and
our
staff
and
the
caucus
staff.
And
we
love
you.
We
do
hope
you
have
a
wonderful
april
fools
and
we
hope
that
you
will
share
the
love
with
somebody
that
you
love
april.
Fools.

Mr
speaker,
this
bill
addresses
certified
medical
assistants,
which
currently
practice
under
the
supervision
of
a
physician
at
a
physician's
owned
office,
performing
whatever
task
is
delegated
to
them
by
the
medical
director.
However,
certified
medical
assistants
are
not
allowed
to
practice
in
hospital
outpatient
clinics.

A

Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
know
I'm
out
of
order,
but
I
just
wanted
to
recognize.
I
had
a
constituent
come
as
you
recess
to
go,
see
the
non-governor
that
was
below
us
for
our
freshmen,
so
I
just
wanted
to
recognize
the
constitution
of
mine,
john
hill
and
his
son.
Bryson
are
here,
don't
hold
bryce.
He
is
related
to
leader
lamba,
so
don't
hold
that
against
him,
but
I
wanted
to
welcome
him
to
the
capitol
this
morning.
Thank
you
very
much
for
being
here.
N
A
N
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
What
this
bill
will
do.
Our
law
enforcement
agencies
are
when
the
equipment
that
they
need
right
now
they
are
allowed
to
keep
their
the
guns
ammunition,
invest,
but
when
they
would
like
to
have
other
the
opportunity
to
have
other
get
other
things
they
use,
such
as.
Let
me
find
my
list
they
could
use
well.
A
A
A
A
N
A
A
A
C
A
A
A
A
D
Mr
speaker
house,
bill
364
requires
the
department
of
safety
to
provide
a
copy
of
fatal
crash
report
to
the
state
legislator,
and
state
representatives
represented
the
location
where
the
traffic
crashed
occurred.
When
the
accident
of
course
results
in
the
death,
it
requires
the
report
to
be
provided
in
15
business
days.
Mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.
A
A
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker
house
bill.
705
does
two
things:
it
adds
vaping
to
the
non-smoker
protection
act.
As
a
result,
vaping
will
now
be
prohibited
in
the
same
places
that
smoking
is
prohibited
and
second,
it
treats
vaping
the
same
as
tobacco
in
the
preemption
section
of
the
code.
In
other
words,
the
state
will
regulate
the
vaping
policy
with
respect
to
where
vaping
is
allowed
to
have
uniformity
across
the
state
of
tennessee.
Mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
sponsor.
We
spoke
a
little
bit
briefly
before,
and
I
have
some
serious
concerns
about
the
preemption
language
of
this
statute,
and
while
this
legislation
at
first
glance
looks
somewhat
positive,
the
preemption
part
of
this
bill
is
concerning
on
multiple
levels,
and
I
think
everybody
in
this
body
needs
to
understand
that,
while
a
lot
of
language
in
this
legislation
repeats
current
code,
a
couple
of
things
that
it
does
new
are
in
section
5.
It
prevents
any
new
laws
or
regulations
enacted
after
july
1
of
2021..
O
O
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
I
would
ask
you
to
strongly
consider
the
language
of
this
bill.
I
would
I
strongly
encourage.
I
think
the
senate
has
passed
an
amendment
to
this
bill.
Addressing
some
of
these
concerns,
I
would,
I
would
love
to
see
the
sponsor
of
this
bill
roll
it
and
let's
consider
some
language
that
is
more
friendly
to
local
governments
and
the
health
of
our
communities,
and
with
that
I
just
strongly
encourage
you
to
reconsider
if
you
were
thinking
about
voting
for
this
legislation.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
thank
you
sponsor
representative.
A
H
H
In
the
last
week,
27
nationwide
vape,
we
have
11
of
middle
schoolers
vaping
and
if
you
don't
think
that
having
the
ability
to
have
a
cool,
looking
vape
pen
and
have
cotton
candy
in
that
in
that
contraption,
isn't
I
mean
that's
not
geared
towards
adults,
and
this
is
one
of
the
regulations
that
will
be
stripped
away
if
this
bill
passes,
and
so
I,
I
repeat,
the
request
from
my
colleague
from
davidson
county
to
to
please
consider
rolling
this
and
and
thinking
about
some
some
regulations
there.
Thank
you.
E
So
my
plea
to
you
is
just
like
the
others:
let's
roll
this
bill
until
another
time,
let's
figure
out
how
we
can
fix
some
of
these
issues
because,
as
representative
clement
said,
you
started
off
with
a
good
thing,
but
then
you
got
the
the
second
thing
it
does
and
it's
doing
irreversible
damage
to
the
state,
especially
our
children,
on
something
I
don't
think
you
intend
on
doing
so
with
that
you
know.
I
please
ask
you
to
roll
it.
Thank
you.
A
A
B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
so
my
concern
with
this
legislation
and,
first
of
all,
I
hate
to
be
on
the
opposite
side
of
an
issue
from
the
honestly,
the
nicest
guy
on
capitol
hill,
and
I
just
I
have
no
offense
to
the
rest
of
you.
My
concern
is
from
a
different
direction
and
it
is
of
private
property
rights,
and
so
essentially,
what
this
is
saying
is
that
vaping
cannot
be
allowed
in
a
restaurant
or
in
a
business
in
tennessee.
B
If
people
do
not
want
to
shop
there,
if
they
don't
want
to
go
there
where
people
are
vaping
and
so
again,
I'm
not
concerned
about
locals
not
being
able
to
regulate
it
more.
I
I
just
I
feel
like
that
we're
we
should
always
take
pause
when
we
are
taking
power
away
from
a
private
property
owner
and
from
that
individual
and
so
based
on
individual
liberty
and
private
property
rights.
I'm
a
very
respectful.
No
thank
you.
D
G
G
P
A
G
Thank
you,
mr
speaker
and
members
for
the
purposes
of
this
bill.
I'll
just
read
a
synopsis
of
what
I'm
trying
to
do.
A
member
in
this
112th
general
assembly
that
are
currently
in
contracts
with
the
state
can
continue
to
contract
with
the
business
that
they've
been
doing
with
the
state
as
long
as
what
the
service
they
provided
for
are
disclosed
moving
forward.
No
member
of
the
general
assembly
that
is
elected
can
contract
with
the
state
for
a
service,
just
as
when
you
can't
sell
a
good.
G
Currently,
it's
against
the
law
to
sell
goods
to
the
state,
you
won't
be
able
to
contract
the
state
when
you
become
a
member
of
the
general
assembly,
and
the
bill
has
no
impact
on
any
work
that
you
do
for
your
counties:
cities
other
employments
outside
of
the
state
of
tennessee
and
furthermore,
the
senate
also
does
this
rule
and
be
happy
to
take
any
further
questions.
I
renew
my
motion.
A
G
D
E
E
G
L
G
L
G
G
Representative
parkinson
moving
forward,
we
understand
what
we're
trying
to
do
in
the
state
of
tennessee,
and
so
people
coming
in,
they
would
understand
where
we're
at,
but
also
we
because
of
our
constitution.
We
don't
want
to
terminate
or
pass
a
bill
that
would
that
would
mess
up
a
current
contract.
So
I
I
feel
like
there's
no
discrepancy,
because
this
is
moving
forward
with
anybody
else
coming
in
not
the
112th
general
assembly.
L
Representative
parkinson-
and
I
understand
that,
but
there's
nothing
in
in
in
the
legislation
that
would
say
that
those
contracts
end
upon
expiration.
But
because
are
you
saying
that
when
those
contracts
expire,
they
can
renew
those
contracts
because
they
were
already
doing
business
with
the
state
chairman.
A
E
E
H
G
H
Okay,
thank
you.
So
if
you
were
on
approved
list
as
a
vendor,
because
sometimes
contracts
for
work
are
put
out,
they
come
and
they
go.
You
may
have
fulfilled
a
contract
that
ended
in
in
the
fall,
but
there
are
other
opportunities
for
projects
that
you
may
have
bid
on,
but
yet
not
awarded
the
contract.
G
Fazen,
the
actual
language
of
this
bill
says,
does
not
apply
to
the
continuation
of
a
service
provided
by
a
member
of
the
112th
general
assembly,
so
long
as
the
member
holds
office.
So
that's
a
continuation
and
not
if
it
was
considered
a
continuation.
The
business
that
you're
asking
about,
then
this
bill
wouldn't
cover
it.
If
it's
not,
if
it's
something
new
that
you're
getting
into
this
bill
would
cover
it.
G
If,
if
you're
not
currently
doing
business
with
the
state,
then
you
wouldn't
be
able
to
start
doing
the
business
with
the
state
unless
you're,
not
a
majority
owner,
if
you're,
if
you're,
just
a
part
or
or
or
the
business
that
you
work
for,
does
that
this
would
preclude
you,
but
other
than
that
you
couldn't
start
working
or
contracting
with
the
state.
Once
this
bill's
passed.
P
Majority,
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
just
trying
to
get
some
clarification
on
that
because
it
seems
it
seems
a
little
confusing
who
can
do
business?
Who
cannot
do
business?
Not
that
I'm
trying
to
do
business
personally,
one
way
or
the
other,
but
just
the
idea
of
the
number
of
individuals
that
are
currently
doing
business
with
the
state.
G
G
I
can't
sell
a
good
to
us
because
I'm
an
elected
member
of
this,
of
the
112th
general
assembly.
However,
under
current
state
law,
if
I
contracted,
I
could
contract
and
say
I
will
sell
you
my
service.
I
can't
sell
you
the
bait
stations
or
the
rat
bait,
but
I
can
come
in
here
and
do
the
service
for
you
and
set
up
a
contract
to
take
care
of
the
rat
problem
here
and
maybe
some
away
from
here
would
say
we
have
a
red
bump,
just
kidding
so
moving
forward.
G
That's
what
we're
doing
we're
making
sure
moving
forward
that
there's
no
impropriety
like
that,
but
I
would
also
say
in
your
question
the
other
gentleman's
question
because
of
of
constitutional
reasons,
you
don't
want
to
break
a
contract
or
something
that's
been
happening
already.
That's
why
we
precluded
them
out
of
this.
E
A
G
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker
and
sponsor
my
question
goes
to
the
controlling
interest
definition.
It
appears
that
a
member
of
this
body
could
have
49
of
stock
in
a
company
or
even
have
their
wife
run.
The
company
and
still
be
able
to
do
business
with
the
state
of
tennessee
is
is:
is
that
the
intent
or
what
is,
why
is
it
drafted?
That
way
is
what
I'm
getting
at.
O
O
Right
so
you
could
have
50
interest,
you
could
have
a
two-person
partnership
and
still
do
business
with
the
state
of
tennessee.
I
mean
under
that
definition,
so
I
I
was
just
trying
to
get
an
explanation
of
the
intent
for
the
record,
and
also
I
just
want
to
to
ask
this.
Bill
only
applies
to
the
general
assembly
and
not
the
governor,
correct.
G
K
E
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Are
there
any
restrictions
on
if
member
or
spouse,
because
you
brought
up
the
issue
of
a
spouse,
was
to
con?
Is
the
executive,
director
or
board
member
of
a
501c3
which
I
realize
is
different
from
an
ownership,
but
any
affiliation
for
the
501c3?
That
has
no
application
correct.
G
E
E
E
G
G
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I'm
going
to
kind
of
go
out
a
little
further
representative
chairman
faison.
We
know
that
there's
some
businesses
out
there
that
there's
really
not
nowhere
else
to
go,
and
I
was
wondering
about
a
situation
like
a
facebook.
If
mark
zuckerberg
was
a
tennessean
and
he
wanted
to
run
for
the
legislature.
D
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
so
if
we
are
doing
that
to
me
that
that
would
be
a
violation
of
being
able
to
serve
your
state
at
the
same
time
serving
of
providing
a
industry
or
service
for
the
states
you
couldn't
serve.
As
a
representative,
I
like
the
concept
of
the
bill,
and
I
think
it's
good
that
we
are
trying
to
do
something,
but
I
I
think
that
there's
problems
with
it,
but
I
understand
the
concept.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
It's
my
understanding
that
this
bill,
as
it's
drafted
right
now,
does
not
impact
tenncare
providers,
specifically
on
page
two
of
the
amendment
medical
service
contracts.
So
if
it's
a
dentist,
a
nurse
practitioner
physician,
anyone
that
does
work
with
10
karat
would
not
impact
him.
Is
that
correct.
E
Question-
and
I
definitely
understand
what
you
said
when
you
were
talking
about
breaking
of
contracts,
but
if
it
it
seems
like
this
bill
is,
is
aimed
at
undoing
a
potential
conflict.
Why?
Why,
wouldn't
you
add
verbiage
not
to
grandfather
the
man
in
perpetuity,
but
they
could
be
grandfathered
into
the
end
of
their
contract?
All
all
of
our
contracts
have
a
sunset
date,
so
I
think
it
would
it
wouldn't
get
into
the
legal
ramification
if
you
just
sunsetted
all
the
existing
members
of
the
112th
once
their
contract
is
over.
G
You,
mr
speaker,
representative
from
knox
county,
I
would
say
the
answer
to
that
is
because
you
came
in
elected
with
an
expectation
of
how
you
were
getting
income
and
it
would
be
wrong
for
us
as
a
general
assembly
to
stop
you
moving
forward
for
the
113th
general
assembly.
You
would
come
in
with
an
expectation
realizing
that
you
could
not
use
that
here,
but
moving
forward
from
this
general
assembly,
you
came
in
with
an
expectation.
H
K
K
C
P
Represent
miller,
okay
and
certainly
after
this
bill
is
passed,
but
I
think
a
certain
dollar
amount,
as
you
say,
if
that's
your
main
income,
but
what?
If,
in
fact
on
that
application?
It
goes
back
to
the
question.
Currently,
you
are
in
a
partnership,
but
you
you
own
less
than
50
of
that
business,
which
you
have
to
follow
that.
P
A
G
G
J
L
L
I
mean
upon
expiration
of
contracts
that
members
in
this
body
have
with
the
state
those
contracts
would
expire.
Let
me
tell
you
why,
because
you
are
under
this
legislation,
you
are
creating
a
wealth
advantage,
because
these
individuals
that
got
contracts
right
now
can
continue
to
contract
with
the
state
in
perpetuity,
while
other
members
that
may
even
be
vendors
right
now,
working
on
getting
a
contract
or
doing
business
with
the
state
will
never
ever
have
that
opportunity.

I
I
You're
recognized,
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
in
consultation
with
both
members
and
and
both
leaders
of
the
party.
I
took
out
the
part
in
the
resolution
that
talks
about
climate
change,
because
many
members
felt
uncomfortable
with
that,
and
I
understand
this
is
simply
a
resolution
to
recognize
that
we
want
to
do
more
to
help
ensure
clean
water,
but
it
makes
we.
A
A
I
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
resolution
was
put
forth
to
emphasize
the
bipartisan
nature
of
water
in
1972,
then
senator
howard
baker
from
tennessee
led
efforts
to
pass
a
clean
water
act
on
the
floor
of
the
u.s
senate.
He
said,
study
after
study
public
opinion
poll
at
the
public
opinion
poll
has
revealed
that
the
economy
of
this
nation
can
observe
the
cost
of
cleaning
up
pollution
without
inflation
or
without
a
cost
in
economic
productivity.
I
As
I
talked
with
thousands
of
tennesseans,
I
found
that
the
kind
of
natural
environment
we
love
is
our
water
and
we
want
to
do
more
to
protect
water.
So
I
thank
senator
baker,
who
is
a
republican
for
his
efforts
and
world
water
day
held
on
the
22nd
of
march
every
year
since
1993,
focusing
on
the
importance
of
fresh
water.
So
I
ask
for
your
support
on
this
resolution
to
recognize
fresh
water
in
tennessee
in
the
country.
