House Floor Session- 65th Legislative Day- April 18, 2022
A
B
We
want
to
thank
the
lord
before
I
pray
for
all
the
the
wonderful
blessings
he's
bestowed
of
everybody
in
this
chamber
and
mainly
the
gift
of
his
son.
Jesus
who
came
to
earth
lived
as
we
do
only
perfect
and
died
on
a
cross
for
our
sins,
and
yesterday
we
celebrated
his
resurrection
and
gave
us
a
pathway
to
heaven.
I
don't
care
what
some
movie
stars
say:
there's
only
one
way
to
heaven:
that's
through
jesus
christ
and
let
us
pray
dear
lord.

I
think,
mr
speaker
members,
this
particular
bill
is
strictly
an
education
title
49
cleanup
bill.
Each
year
we
solicit
input
from
the
department
of
education,
the
state
board
of
education
and
tennessee
higher
education
and
other
stakeholders
on
places
the
cold
needs.
Some
can
clean
up
and
amendment
14346
makes
some
of
the
changes
submitted
to
us
this
year.
So
with
that,
I
renew
my
motion.
B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Yes,
sir,
what
this
does
is
not
really
change.
Is
it's
going
into
the
cold
and
taking
out
sections
of
the
code
that
are
irrelevant,
for
example,
section
one
and
two
clarifies
language
prohibiting
the
use
of
common
core
materials
in
tennessee
classrooms
that
we
passed
last
year,
so
we're
going
to
the
code
and
clean
the
language
up.
B
B
B
Chairman
white,
thank
you
sections
one
and
two,
this
says:
clarifies
language
prohibiting
the
use
of
common
core
materials
in
tennessee's
classrooms
that
we
passed
last
year.
It's
just
clarifying
the
language
things
that
we've
already
done,
we're
not
changing
anything
with
this
bill.
This
clarifying
language
represent
mitchell.
Okay,
thank
you,
miss
sponsor,
so
the
win
wisdom,
common
core
curriculum
that
keeps
continuously
getting
waivers
by
the
commissioner,
I'm
glad
you're.
Finally,
you
know
outlawing
that
in
state
of
tennessee.
Thank
you
so
much.
A
A
I
A
A
A
D
D
A
A
A
I
A
I
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
members.
First,
I
want
to
thank
all
those
who
have
helped
me
with
this
bill:
the
sheriff's
association
tdot,
the
march
of
dimes,
representative
littleton
and
healthy
free
tennessee.
What
this
bill
would
do,
mr
speaker
and
members,
is
help
to
protect
mothers
and
babies
when
a
pregnant
woman
is
incarcerated
in
our
correctional
facility,
and
with
that
I
know
my
motion.
F
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
speaker.
Thank
you
representative,
later
camper
for
ringing
this
legislation,
I'm
100
in
favor,
of
protecting
babies
and
unborn
infants.
However,
I
have
some
concerns
at
what
point
are
we
going
to
prevent
our
local
sheriffs
from
using
shackles
or
handcuffs
on
pregnant
women?
Are
we
going
to
require
them
to
conduct
a
pregnancy
test
on
each
and
every
mother?
Maybe
that
already
takes
place.
F
I
You,
mr
speaker,
and
thank
you
for
your
question.
It
did
come
through
committee.
Those
issues
were
addressed
by
the
sheriff's.
In
particular,
they
helped
to
write
the
amendment
they
have
procedures
in
place.
They
have
training
in
place.
There
are
provisions
within
the
bill
that
will
allow
them
to
restrain
during
transport
under
certain
circumstances.
So
I
think
your
concerns
have
been
addressed
with
the
amendment
that
the
sheriff's
association
brought
to
me
represented.
F
F
This
bill
prevents
any
correctional
officials
from
handcuffing
or
using
ankle
restraints
on
any
prisoner
if
they're
pregnant,
and
only
under
certain
circumstances.
If
there's
a
determination
that
are
no
circumstances,
can
this
person
be
safely
transported,
then
handcuffs
or
shackles
are
appropriate.
I
I
Thank
you.
It
says
the
inmate
is
an
immediate
or
credible
flight
risk
and
cannot
be
reasonable
by
preventing
by
prevention.
By
any
other
means.
The
inmate
poses
an
immediate
or
serious
threat
or
harm
to
herself,
the
unborn
child
and
others
that
cannot
be
reasonably
prevented
on
other
matters.
The
custody
or
classification
level
of
the
inmate
requires
use
of
restraints.
So
I
think
your
concern
is
addressed.
I
F
F
Eight
weeks,
12
weeks,
14
weeks,
20
weeks,
24
weeks,
36
weeks
and
still
able
to
ambulate
mobile,
be
movable
you're,
simply
going
to
say
just
because
she's
pregnant
we're
not
going
to
allow
that
mother
pregnant
female
to
be
shackled
if
she's
been
convicted
of
a
crime
she's
in
custody,
according
to
the
court
to
be
transported
back
and
forth,
you're
just
going
to
do
a
flat
out
rule
that
says
we're
not
going
to
allow
the
sheriff
to
make
the
determination
this
legislative
body
is
going
to
make
those
individual
determinations.
Am
I
incorrect
on
that?
Please?
I
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
you
are
incorrect
on
that
they
do
have.
They
do
have
the
right
to
restrain
the
sheriff's
association
brought
the
amendment
we
agreed
to
the
amendment
because
it
allowed
them
to
have
the
procedures
and
policies
in
place
to
protect
the
mother
and
the
unborn
child
in
transport
during
labor
or
in
any
function
within
the
sheriff,
while
the
sheriff's
have
them
detained.
F
Representative
griffey,
thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Thank
you
leader,
camper.
Only
under
the
exceptions
that
you
indicated
earlier,
I
I
I
appreciate
the
intent
of
the
legislation
and
I'm
supportive
of
the
intent,
but
I
think
this
just
is
going
way
too
far
and
we
ought
to
allow
these
decisions
regarding
the
transport
of
individuals
who
are
accused
of
a
crime
and
in
custody
of
the
local
sheriff's,
to
let
the
local
sheriffs
make
individual
determinations
on
that,
and
I
appreciate
the
intent,
but
I'm
sorry
I
just
can't
support
the
bill
based
on
those.
My
considerations.
I
C
C
K
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
so
we
heard
this
bill
embedded
it
pretty
thoroughly
in
the
corrections
committee,
which
is
where
bills
that
deal
with
corrections
go
through
heard.
Some
really
good.
Testimony
heard
from
a
lot
of
members
that
gave
input
heard
from
the
sheriff's
department
who
helped
work
on
this
bill,
a
lot
of
different
interests
and
parties.
K
So
this
is
producing
online,
what's
being
done
with
all
the
states
around
us
and
it
was
heavily
vetted
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
make
sure
that
we
worry
about
the
health
of
pregnant
women
in
the
state
and
the
health
of
those
unborn
children
and
make
sure
that
we
protect
both
those
lives,
especially
the
lives
of
unborn
children
as
they
come
into
the
world.
So
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that's
been
into
this.
I
think
it's
a
great
bill
and
puts
us
in
line
with
all
the
other
states
around
us.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
E
A
B
E
You,
mr
speaker,
this
bill
deals
with
unlicensed
day
care
facilities.
We
had
a
situation
up
in
morristown
that
that
we
really
honestly
haven't
can't
imagine
before
I
actually
have
one
of
the
mothers
that
that
brought
this
to
our
attention
up
in
the
gallery.
I
I
recognized
her
earlier
miss
brandi
gillum,
and
I
want
to
thank
her
for
her
input
on
this
bill
and
she
she
has
she's.
She
stayed
after
it
and
I
really
appreciate
it.
There's
a
lot
of
horrible
horrible,
video
and
audio
that
came
out
of
this.
E
Essentially,
this
unlicensed
facility
was
warehousing
children
in
the
basement.
It
was
literally
a
garage.
You
can
visibly
see
the
garage
door
in
the
background.
You
can
see
insulation
hanging
from
the
ceiling
and
because
there
is
no
provision
other
than
for
physical
abuse
in
our
current
law.
This
lady
could
not
be
charged
with
anything
and
even
in
the
court
documents,
it
said
that
she
could
continue
to
work
as
an
unlicensed
facility,
but
could
only
keep
four
children
or
she
could
apply
for
her
license.
E
E
There
were
adverse
effects
on
the
emotional
and
mental
health
and
welfare
of
a
child
would
be
also
considered,
and
it
also
sets
up
for
a
class
c
felony
for
operating
a
daycare
while
a
license
is
suspended
or
operating
following
the
effective
date
of
a
denial
or
revocation
of
the
license
and
operating
within
10
years
of
a
previous
finding
by
the
department
that
a
person
or
entity
had
operated
child
care
agency
without
being
licensed
by
the
department.
So
with
that,
mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.
A
Question
on
the
what
just
call
the
question:
oh
calling
the
question.
Oh
thank
you
very
nice
view
we're
in
such
agreeable
mood
tonight.
I
like
it
all
right.
Question
has
been
called
in
objection
scene.
None
all
those
in
favor
of
sending
bill.
2748
vote
in
the
bell
rings.
Those
opposed
vote.
No,
how
does
every
member
cast
your
vote
same?
Remember?
What's
changed
their
vote.

This

is
limited
to

This
would
be
for
attorneys
health
care
workers,
educators
and
professionals
that
require
state
licensing.
The
tbi
would
maintain
and
preserve
and
enter
this
information
into
an
automated
fingerprint
identification
system.
If
appropriate,
and
with
that,
mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.

number

any
special
amendment
scene
done

Remember
everyone
say:
aye
aye,

those
posts
say
no,

eyes
I've
been
adopted
next
minute,
miss
clerk.
Mr
speaker,
no
further
amendments,
representative,
elders,
you're
recognized
thank.
E
You,
mr
speaker,
with
this
bill
currently
and
in
polling
places,
while
the
procedures
that
are
required
by
this
chapter
are
being
carried
out,
there's
no
one's
supposed
to
be
in
there
except
election
officials,
voters
personally
persons
properly
assisting
the
voter,
the
press
poll
watchers
appointed
under
under
law
and
others
bearing
written
authorization
from
the
county
election
commission.
This
adds
a
provision
that
that
states
that
that
a
county
election
commission
may
adopt
a
policy
to
credential
members
of
the
press,
but
that
renew
my
motion.
A
J
J
E
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
The
county
election
commission
may
adopt
a
policy
that
would
credential
members
the
issue.
The
issue
has
seems
to
be
coming
up,
that
a
lot
of
people
that
are
posting
on
youtube
videos
and
that
type
of
thing
they
deem
themselves
as
media
and
has
someone
who
has
worked
in
polling
places.
You
get
a
lot
of
people
in
there.
It
can
be
very
disruptive
in
the
voting
process
and
I
don't
think
they
need
to
be
running
around
behind
the
voter,
while
they're,
while
they're
doing
their
voting.
L
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
my
question
was
on
the
same
provision
of
the
legislation,
and
I
understand
the
county
election
commission
may
adopt
the
policy
to
credential
members
of
the
press.
But
what
are
the
factors
and
the
discretion
of
that
commission
to
determine
which
members
of
the
press
can
and
cannot
enter
within
that
policy?
Are
there
any
guard
rails
here
for
the
policy
that
they
may
adopt.
E
L
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
thank
you
sponsor.
I
appreciate
what
what
your
intent
is
here,
I
think
your
intent
is
is
well-meaning.
However,
I
have
concerns
about
the
discretionary
power
of
the
county
election
mission.
They
can
choose
favorites.
They
can
choose
not
to
credential
someone.
If
you
put
language
in
here
saying
members
of
the
tennessee
press
association
or
some
sort
of
guard
rails
about
who
qualifies
and
who
doesn't
rather
than
allowing
it
to
be,
you
know,
permit
some
sort
of
discretion
which
could
run
afoul.
L
That
would
be
preferable
because,
as
is
now,
I
have
concerns
about
sun
sunshine
issues
with
what
goes
on
in
there
and
having
free
access
to
members
of
the
press,
because
some
could
get
shut
out
because
of
bad
blood
between
the
election,
commission
and
so
forth.
So
that's
my
simple
concern.
I
appreciate
your
intent.
I
think
it's
well-meaning,
but
I
I
do
think
there
should
be
some
additional
language
in
here
saying
what
what
you
mean
and
put
some
guardrails.
Thank
you,
representative,
eldridge.
E
E
There
has
been
some
situations
where
they
have
gone
behind
the
voter
and
filming
them
on
their
camera
and
they're
they're
in
they're,
saying
their
media
because
they
have
they
post
on
youtube,
and
this
came
to
me
from
our
election
commission
and
that
there's
no
intent
to
limit
limit
the
press
from
the
polling
place
by
any
means
it
is,
but
it
is
to
help
them
be
able
to
control
a
number
of
people
that
might
be
able
to
come
in
there
and
just
say
they're.
The
press
represent
clemens.
L
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
I
appreciate
that
and-
and
I
understand
your
your
intent
here,
but
they
the
way
it's
drafted,
they
could
just
as
well
arbitrarily
decides.
Somebody
who
has
a
camera
is
a
member
of
the
press,
but
then
you
could
have
a
member
who's,
a
member
of
the
tennessee
press
association.
They
may
not
decide
to
credential.
So
that's
my
concern,
but
I
appreciate
you
answering
the
question.
Thank
you.
B
Yeah,
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
sponsor
along
with
my
colleague
from
davidson.
I
think
your
intent
is
well
intended.
You
know,
but
I
just
think
we're
we're
heading
in
a
bad
direction.
Any
time
a
democracy
we
we
there
should
never
be
guard
rails,
put
on
the
press,
the
press
is
there,
they
ensure
they
are
the
guard
rails
for
our
democracy.
B
They
are
the
protection.
You
know,
there's
a
few
nations
on
the
planet
where
they
have
a
state-run
media
and
their
elections
don't
seem
to
go
too
well.
So
I
I
just
think
this
is
going
in
a
bad
direction
to
arbitrarily
let
some
some
five
min
or
three
people.
Three
people
are
more
or
less
going
to
decide
who
is
the
press
and
who
is
not
in
a
county
and
and
that's
that's
heading
down
a
bad
bad
road
for
democracy
right
there.
Thank
you.
E
A
E
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
The
intent
of
this
bill
is
to
allow
the
county
commission
or
the
county
election
commission
to
determine.
Who
is,
they
can
say,
is
press
not
just
somebody
walk
in
there
with
their
phone
and
say
I'm
the
press.
I've
got
a
youtube
channel.
I
want
to
video
inside
the
polling
place.
They.
I
don't
and
there's
an
increasing
number
of
this
happening.
So
that's
the
intent
of
the
bail.
K
E
K
A
A
B
A
C
What
this
bill
does
it
brought?
It
was
brought
to
me
by
t
hack
and
as
a
cleanup
bill,
and
it's
just
helping
them
streamline
some
of
their
reporting
that
they
do
regarding
proprietary,
for-profit
or
proprietary
higher
education
institutions
that
are
operating
in
the
state,
and
with
that
I
renew
my
motion.
B
I
B
K
B
K
C
A
A
A
D
M
A
M
G
G
As
I
understand,
we
have
made
some
concessions,
as
it
relates
to
charter
schools
being
able
to
have
the
qualified
complement
of
teachers
and
relaxes
some
of
the
conditions.
This
is
what
I
understand
now,
if
that's
an
error,
let
me
know-
and
it
appears
to
me
that
it
may
impact
that
if
that
is
the
case,.

In
2018,
a
trafficking
situation
was
uncovered
at
a
tennessee
public
high
school.
The
person
who
identified
the
situation
witnessed
suspicious
behavior,
tried
to
talk
to
the
students
and
initially
wasn't
sure
what
he
was
seeing.
It
took
him
weeks
or
longer
to
call
the
authorities
to
share
his
suspicions.
M
He
was
not
a
classroom
teacher
under
current
law,
no
one
at
schools,
except
for
teachers,
are
trained
in
detecting
and
intervening
where
there
may
be
trafficking
of
students
with
this
bill.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
provided
the
training
for
anyone
who
may
be
dealing
directly
with
students
and
to
know
how
to
properly
report
any
suspect,
suspected
trafficking,
and
so
what
what
this
bill
is
is
to
make
sure
that
all
lease
local
education
can
make
and
determine
which
of
their
personnel
that
they
want
to
have
to
go
through
this
training.

Speaker
senate
bill
2739,
as
amended,
requires
the
department
of
children,
services
and
the
department
of
human
services
to
collaborate
to
provide
recommendations
to
the
general
assembly
on

specific
to
persons
from

Historically,
in
the
past,
when
a
patient
was
diagnosed
with
a
disease,
they
would
have
to
follow
a
protocol
and
a
regimen
of
treatment
that
may
or
may
not
be
effective
senate
bill.
1310
changes.
All
of
that
puts
the
patient
in
the
best
chance
of
success,
and
with
that,
mr
chairman,
with
that,
mr
speaker,
I
really
need
my
motion.
A
A
A
A
M
Thank
you,
speaker,
members,
I'll,
just
catch
you
up
on
what
we're.
What's
before
you
we
have
over
for
over
20
years,
our
legislative
body
has
wisely
taken
first
steps
to
protect
minors
from
the
harm
caused
by
exposure
to
obscene
and
pornographic
materials,
and
the
digital
age
now
requires
a
renewed
and
updated
response,
which
is
what
this
amendment,
which
is
what
these
amendments
do
house
bill.
2454
was
amended,
and
I
learned
that
some
vendor
contracts
for
our
school
databases
are
handled
through
the
lea
and
some
are
handled
through
state
agencies.
M
This
this
amendment,
before
you
will
clarify
the
language
of
the
bill
to
include
vendor
contracts
made
by
state
agencies,
as
well
as
leas
for
databases
intended
for
use
by
students.
It
requires
that
all
such
contracts
include
a
provision
ensuring
that
no
obscene
or
pornographic
material,
as
defined
elsewhere
in
our
state
law,
will
be
included
in
the
database.
M
It
also
ensures
that
the
vendors
contracts
entered
into
by
state
agencies
and
lease
for
databases
used
by
students
comply
with
our
code
as
it
applies
to
obscenity
and
minors.
It
will
also
ensure
that
vendors
of
the
digital
platform
understand
their
obligation
under
our
obscenity
laws
and
just
in
case
something
gets
by
the
vendor.
There
is
a
provision
that
provides
a
process
to
have
questioned
material,
reviewed
and
appropriately
dealt
with,
and,
lastly,
it
provides
for
a
full
review
of
any
database
that
is
brought
under
scrutiny
for
failure
to
comply
with
the
state
obscenity
laws.
A
A
B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker
house.
Amendment
number
three
seeks
to
address
the
concerns
raised
by
both
the
finance
committee
members
and
those
members
of
the
criminal
justice
committee
by
removing
both
the
internet
cash
applications
such
as
gofundme,
as
well
as
credit
cards
from
the
bill.
With
that
explanation,
mr
speaker,
I
move
adoption
of
house
amendment
number
three.
A
Representative
kirchoff
is
adoption
of
amendment
number
three,
probably
second,
in
any
discussion
on
the
amendment,
we're
on
the
board
any
objection
to
the
question,
seeing
them
all
those
in
favor
member
number
three
vote
eye
when
the
bell
rings,
those
pose
vote
no
has
every
member
voted.
Does
any
member
would
change
their
vote.
D
A
B
House
bill
457
is
a
short
amendment
or
short
bill
to
currently
the
court
requires
that
they
bail
be
paid
to
the
kirk
of
the
court
only
in
cash.
This
bill
updates
that
requirement
by
allowing
for
commonly
used
and
verifiable
need
mean
means
of
payment
by
adding
debit
cards
and
cash.
Apps
is
methods
of
payment,
and
I
renew
my
emotion.
A
A
B
A
D
A
A
C
A
A
To
adopt
representative
moves
adoption,
remember
number
four,
probably
second,
in
any
discussion
on
the
amendment,
so
you
know
any
objection
to
the
question.
Seeing
none
we're
on
the
board,
all
those
in
favor
member
number
four

I,
when
the
bell
rings
all

vote.
No,
is
there
a
member

saying?
Would
you
change
your
vote.
A
A
D
N
Mr
speaker,
members
in
july
of
this
year
it
will
have
been
50
years
since
the
various
pension
plans
in
the
state
of
tennessee
came
together
to
form
the
tennessee
consolidated
retirement
system
when
it
was
signed
into
law.
In
july
of
that
year,
there
was
a
provision
in
place
that
allowed
members
of
the
armed
forces
who
served
honorably
to
be
able
to
establish
up
to
four
years
of
military
service
credit
in
local
or
state
entities,
tcrs
programs.
N
Unfortunately,
the
statue
was
never
updated
after
1975.
and
so
for
the
last
47
years,
tennesseans
that
have
served
honorably
and
in
the
armed
forces
of
the
u.s.
They
could
go
work
for
the
federal
government
and
establish
service
credit
there.
They
could
go
work
for
various
states
around
the
country
and
could
establish
service
credit
there,
but
unfortunately,
if
they
served
in
the
military
and
came
to
work
for
the
state
of
tennessee,
they
were
ineligible
to
establish
any
service
credit.
Well
members.
This
is
my
fifth
year
serving
in
this
body
and
house
bill.
N
A
G
N
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
would
allow
you
to
buy
it.
It's
a
little
bit
different
than
the
pre-1975
veterans.
Just
as
we
updated
the
tcrs
and
created
the
hybrid
plan,
this
would
create
kind
of
a
hybrid
plan
for
veterans.
So
if
you
served
in
one
of
those
periods
of
armed
conflict-
and
you
bought
the
time,
it
would
add
four
years
to
your
number
of
years
with
the
tcrs,
so
yes,
if
you
had
36
years,
this
could
get
you
to
40
or
if
you
had
26
it
could
get
you
to
40.
B
N
G
N
Applies
so
if
someone,
even
though
they
would
most
likely
be
in
their
70s
at
this
point,
if
they
started
working
for
a
a
local
government
that
was
covered
under
tcrs
or
for
state
government,
they're
still
eligible
to
get
their
four
years,
but
it
was
never
updated
after
1975,
so
for
those
veterans
of
iraqi
freedom
desert
storm
any
any
war
conflict.
Since
then,
there's
been
no
provision
to
allow
them
to
get
in.
B
A
A
A
D
A
D
B
B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
What
this
bill
does
it
authorizes
the
department
of
corrections
to
advance
or
reimburse
witness
expenses
necessary
to
prosecution
of
criminal
case
upon
request
by
the
district
attorney
general
and
as
approved
by
the
court.
It
also
requires
department
of
corrections
to
maintain
advanced
payment
as
receivable
against
the
final
cost
bill
attributed
to
the
case
in
which
witness
fees
are
advanced
or
reimbursed,
and
with
that
I
renew
my
motion
chairman.
A
L
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
I'm
sure
this
was
discussed
in
the
committee
process.
But
are
we
not
concerned
about
the
state
impartially
taking
or
showing
favor
to
prosecution
versus
the
defense
in
these
cases?
If
the
defense
or
the
public
defender
doesn't
have
access
to
the
same
fees
to
cover
witnesses
which
may
prove
someone's
innocence.

How
are

B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
members.
This
is
a
private
act
for
polk
county
because
of
the
latest
census,
the
growth
in
population
and
redistricting.
It
is
necessary
to
adjust
the
makeup
of
the
county
school
board
to
mirror
the
county
commission
districts.
It
would
go
from
three
to
four
districts
and
add
one
new
member
to
the
school
board
going
from
nine
to
ten.
With
that.
G
A
A
C
K
K
Most
of
the
time
they're
legitimate,
but
there
is
there-
are
people
that
have
taken
advantage
of
those
rules
to
allow
their
their
children
to
have
more
time
for
those
tests.
And
so
my
only
concern
here
is
like
what
are
the
guidelines
that
are
in
place
that
would
allow
this
student
to
have
more
time.
K
Do
they
have
to
provide
medical
records,
evidence
for
the
parents
or
from
like
a
physician,
or
is
there
just
a
parent
saying
so
because
again,
a
lot
of
these
schools
can
be
very
competitive
to
get
into,
and
while
I
think
most
people
have
good
intentions,
this
has
become
a
problem,
especially
at
the
collegiate
level,
where
people
try
to
use
and
take
advantage
to
allow
their
children
to
have
more
time
for
tests.
So
I
just
wanted
to.
If
you
could
speak
to
that
I'd
appreciate
it.
K
M
M
His
sugar
was
all
over
the
place
today,
and
so,
therefore,
because
of
that
they
said
we're
not
even
going
to
let
you
take
the
tcap
test
today.
Today
was
the
first
day
of
tcap
testing,
so
he's
gonna
have
to
take
the
test
at
a
later
date,
but
the
way
the
the
rules
are
now,
if
there's
a
situation
like
that,
and
he
would
have
to
get
up
and
leave
a
lot
and
go
to
the
school
nurse.
M

Chairman

house
bill.
1018
is
a
cleanup
bill
that
was
from
some
previous
legislation.
Back
in
2019
had
been
skipped
all
along.
It
passed
the
house
once
didn't,
pass
the
senate,
and
so
we
have
it
here
today
and
what
it
does
it.
It
cleans
up
the
ads.
The
four-year
background
check
and
the
renewal

to
the
to
the
to
the

A

D
J
Senate
bill
1902
authorizes
the
board
of
medical
examiners
and
the
board
of
osteopathic
examiners
to
issue
to
an
eligible
physician
or
medical
graduate
from

training

Mr

renew

J

J

However,
most
of
the
time
these
harsh
weather
conditions
don't
happen
in
a
moment,
the
in
today's
weather
science,
there
is
definitely
warning
one
two
or
three
days
ahead
of
time,
so
we
can
plan.
All
it
says
is
let
the
animal
off
the
leash.
So
the
animal
is
not
tied
down
in
dangerous
weather
conditions.
J
We
are,
you
are
kind
people
you
are
kind
to
your
animals.
This
is
directed
for
the
person
who
leaves
their
dog
tied
with
a
leather
or
leash
for
a
day
in
and
day
out
for
long
periods
of
time
and
this,
if
this
reminds
them
not
to
do
that,
and
a
dog
or
a
puppy's
life
is
saved.
I
think
the
good
lord
will
be
pleased
with
us,
and
that
is
the
purpose
of
it.
J
J
Again,
it's
more
of
a
reminder
to
certain
people
who
leave
their
animal
tied
in
the
back
day
in
and
day
out,
very
hot
or
snow,
or
what
have
you
and
don't
pay
attention
to
it?
It
is
to
protect
those
animals,
and
I
think
we
owe
it
to
those
people
to
help
them
remember
this,
and
we
owe
it
to
the
little
pets
that
we
all
love
with
that.
Mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.
A
A
A
D
L
H
H
The
the
offensive
camping,
which
is
a
felony
in
the
statute,
mirrors
the
the
law
that
was
passed
here
in
2012
when
the
tennessee
general
assembly
deemed
that
we
didn't
want
camping
on
war
memorial.
Since
that
time,
the
aoc
has
reported
that
there
has
been
no
one
charged
or
any
criminal
offenses
adjudicated
as
it
relates
to
a
felony
of
camping.
It
just
simply
stays
consistent
in
the
statute
for
what
the
this
body
has
done
in
previous
years.
L
H
Jeremy
williams-
thank
you,
mr
speaker.
It's
a
lesser
offense
because
that's
the
way
it
currently
is
in
the
statute.
I
agree
with
my
my
good
friend
from
davidson
county
that,
as
you
are
well
aware,
several
homeless
community
have
their
lives
either
from
a
vehicle
leaving
the
highway
into
a
homeless
camp
or
by
flooding
in
a
homeless
camp
in
a
right-of-way
area
that
was
designed
for
that.
So
all
all
we're
trying
to
do
here
is
be
consistent
in
this
bill,
as
we
have
been
with
the
statute
in
the
past.
L
H
Jim
williams,
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
we're
not
making
a
felony
to
be
homeless,
we're
making
it
a
felony
to
camp
on
public
property.
Currently
in
state
statute,
it
says
that
it
is
a
felony
to
camp
on
state
property.
This
just
extends
it
to
your
local
community.
Here
in
metro
or
in
my
community
here
in
cookeville
or
in
putnam
county.
It
just
mirrors
the
same
statue.
L
Thank
you
speaker.
Well,
this
will
necessarily
apply
to
homeless
individuals
who
are
camping
and
have
nowhere
else
to
go.
So
if
we're
going
to
make
it
a
felony
or
keep
it
a
felony
or,
however
you're
describing
it
on
public
property,
then
homeless
individuals
are
going
to
go
somewhere.
Where,
where
do
you
expect
them
to
go.
H
Sharon
williams-
thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Well
in
my
community,
where
we
have
issues
as
it
relates
to
state
property,
we
have
a
whole
site,
a
whole
half
of
a
hotel
room
where
we
as
a
local
community
house,
the
homeless
and
hotel
rooms.
We
also
assist
them
in
getting
the
mental
health
treatment.
They
need
at
plateau
mental
health
when
they
need
health
care
needs.
H
We
take
them
to
cookville
regional
medical
center,
but
under
current
statute,
if
we
wanted
to
do
that,
we
couldn't
approach
someone
in
a
homeless
camp
to
help
them
get
the
recent
sources.
They
need.
The
local
law
enforcement
in
my
community
and
other
communities
across
the
state
ask
for
the
ability
to
do
this
so
that
they
can
help
these
folks
in
their
communities.
Representative.
A
L
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Well,
we
have
a
capacity
issue
in
some
cities
and
we
have
a
lot
of
facilities
and
I
think
we've
all
been
working
together
across
the
aisle
to
provide
mental
health
care
to
the
extent
possible
and
provide
services.
We've
even
worked
on
issues
with
involving
the
sheriff's
association,
so
the
sheriffs
aren't
taking
them
or
transporting
them
to
mental
health
hospitals.
H
That's
not
the
intent
of
the
legislation.
The
intent
of
the
legislation
is
to
give
an
actionable
opportunity
for
law
enforcement
to
be
able
to
approach.
These
folks
is
much
like
we
did
in
2012.
There
hasn't
been
one
criminal
charge
or
one
case
adjudicated
where
anyone
has
been
charged
with
a
crime
as
it
relates
to
criminal
camping.
So
I
understand
what
you're
saying,
but
in
this
case
it's
not
the
instance,
it
all
leads
up
to
discretion.
If,
in
metro
they
choose
not
to
enforce
a
statute,
they
don't
they
don't
have
to
law
enforcement.
H
L
Clemens.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
It
sounds
like
your
argument.
Is
that
you're
creating
a
felony
just
so
you
give
the
police
an
excuse
to
put
these
people
in
the
back
of
a
police,
car
and
sight
them
before
you
can
then
get
them
assistance.
I
mean
here
in
nashville,
for
instance,
when
it's
cold
out
we
send
around
buses
and
mta
public
transportation
to
pick
up
individuals.
L
I
I
don't
think
you
have
to
have
a
law,
making
it
a
felony
to
be
homeless,
to
go
to
be
a
good
samaritan
to
go
around
and
use
public
resources
to
pick
these
folks
up
and
try
to
get
them
to
a
place
where
they
could
get
mental
health
care
where
they
can
get
somewhere
warm
and
to
sleep
or
to
get
food.
It
sounds
to
me
like
your
argument.
L
H
Sherwin
williams,
thank
you,
mr
speaker.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
what
you
said.
I
can't,
if
I
were
to
if
there
was
a
camp
on
the
right-of-way
in
my
district
or
in
your
district,
local
law
enforcement
has
to
have
a
reason
to
communicate
with
those
people
and
so
that
they
can
give
them
the
help.
In
some
instances,
people
are
just
passing
through
from
your
community
to
mine,
via
the
law
enforcement.
L
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
appreciate
your
your
patience
on
this.
I
I
don't
think
that
you're
correct
that
a
police
officer
on
the
on
their
beat
can't
interact
with
an
individual
without
them
having
committed
a
felony
or
even
a
misdemeanor,
a
person
could
be
a
good
samaritan,
whether
they're,
public
official
or
not.
They
can
provide
them
access
to
resources
or
call
and
get
them
a
ride
to
somewhere
without
creating
a
felony
or
elevating
a
criminal
offense
just
to
assist
someone.
So
I
don't.
I
don't
understand
that
argument,
but
thank
you,
mr
speaker.
C
Currently,
the
police
force
in
davidson
county
can
pick
up
folks
experiencing
homelessness
right
now,
whether
they
have
committed
a
felony
or
not,
they
can
help
them
get
the
services
that
they
want,
but
but
the
thing
that
really
gives
me,
the
biggest
concern
is
currently
we
can
legally
intend
in
the
united
states.
You
can
legally
deny
housing
to
felons.
A
C
G
G
Thank
god
that
this
law
wasn't
in
place
where
I
was
living
because
I
probably
possibly
wouldn't
even
be
here
and-
and
I
I
just
think
that
we
we
should
probably.
I
just
think
that
we
should
be
more
compassionate.
You
know,
because
those
are
individual
stories
that
are
out
there.
Individual
situations
could
be
mental
health
situations
could
be
anything
but
but
to
criminalize.
G
You
know.
Individuals
that
are
in
those
situations
is
just
a
terrible,
terrible
idea
and
is,
is
not
representative
of
the
values
of
our
state
and
the
values
of
our
people.
Here
in
in
tennessee,
our
people
volunteer
to
help
people
and-
and
that
has
there's
no
nothing,
no
criminal
and
no
intent
to
make
them
criminals
when
we
volunteer
to
help
them.
G
G
G
G
G
The
bears
have
dens
there's
nowhere
to
go.
We
couple
that,
mr
representative,
with
the
last
report
I
saw
in
nashville,
you
need
to
make
at
least
65
000
70
000
to
really
afford
a
decent
house
in
this
city.
Now
it's
progress,
some
call
it
progress,
however,
if
you're
making
a
minimum
wage
there's
no
way
you
can
afford
anything
in
this
city.
G
What
I
would
like
to
see
more,
mr
representative,
is
that
we
look
at
something
in
terms
of
studying
how
it
is
that
we
deal
with
homelessness
in
our
communities,
and
you
know
it's
a
problem
all
across
the
country,
san
francisco,
all
these
high
dollar
cities
chicago
everywhere,
and
it's
coming
to
a
neighborhood
near
you
soon.
Homelessness
is
a
problem,
but
criminalizing
it
is.
It
gives
me
heartburn
because
to
me,
that's
not
how
I
was
raised.
G
It's
not
the
christian
thing
to
do
it's
just
simply,
not
because
the
book
teaches
us,
homelessness
will
always
be
with
the
poor
will
always
be
with
us.
How
we
treat
them
is
how
we're
going
to
be
judged
a
certain
degree,
and
I
don't
want
to
be
an
era
of
mistreating
anybody,
let
alone
the
homeless.
I
don't
want
to
be
in
the
ranks
of
the
homeless,
and
I
see
it
out
there
and
we
overlook
it
and
I
think
there's
a
better
way
for
to
for
us
to
approach
it
as
opposed
to
criminalizing
their
behavior.
G
When
other
colleagues
brought
out
once
you
get
that
felony
affixing
we're
doing
a
little
bit
better
in
our
state
and
in
the
country,
once
you
get
that
tag
attached
to
you,
it's
hard
to
do
anything.
You
disqualified
for
any
of
the
benefits
that
are
here
in
this
country,
and
it's
so
easy
you
can
get
it
at
the
drop
of
a
hat
or
cell
phone
a
felon,
that's
a
major
deal.
G
G
Now,
for
you
just
say,
a
young
person,
as
one
of
the
colleagues
said,
was
17
years
old.
They
get
a
felony
they're
homeless.
They
don't
have
a
family,
they
get
a
felony.
What
do
they
do
when
it's
time
for
them
to
try
to
go
to
school,
go
to
college?
How
do
we
address
that
they've
been
homeless
and
no
fault
of
their
own?
The
parents
lost
their
job.
Jobs
went
out
of
business
or
went
offshore.
How
do
we
address
that
with
young
college
students?
A
H
Williams,
thank
you.
That's
a
that's
a
great
discussion
for
you
to
have
next
year
as
it
relates
to
bill,
but
it
doesn't
really
apply
to
this
bill.
I
don't.
I
don't
know
if
you're
asking
me
to
find
solutions,
and
I
don't
really
understand
your
question
but
happy
to
work
with
the
member
respect.
You
just
don't
know
what
you
want
me
to
answer.
Questions.
G
And
and
we'll
do
that,
I
appreciate
that
that
I
understand
we'll
do
that,
we'll
look
at
something
next
year.
My
what
I
want
to
emphasize
is
that
we
got
to
figure
a
way
as
a
body
that
governs
everything
in
the
state
to
figure
out
how
to
address
some
of
these
problems,
with
a
humane
touch
and
a
little
bit
of
mercy
and
figuring
out
how
people
can
be
recycled
and
redeemed
and
be
able
to
be
reused
in
our
communities.
Mr
speaker,
mr
representative,
thank
you.
K
H
H
K
H
H
Jeremy
williams-
I
don't
think
so
as
it
relates
to
how
the
the
laws
in
the
past
have
have
been
not
adjudicated.
As
I
said
earlier,
the
aoc
since
2012
the
the
camping
statute
that
we
have
no
one
has
been
charged
or
a
crime
been
adjudicated
as
it
relates
to
camping
on
public
property.
It
simply
made
a
violation
important
enough
to
where
people
wouldn't
break
the
law.
K

A
Chairman
speaking,
moves
concurrent
sentiment
number
one,
probably
second,
any
discussion
on
the
amendment,
so
you
know
any
objections
to
the
question
scene.
None
all
those
favors
send
them
number
one
vote
in
the
boat
rings.
Those
foes
vote
no
has
every
member
voted.
They
remember
which
changed
their
vote.

Jared

moves
the
concurrence
in
memphis
numbers,
one
and
two,
probably
second
in
any
discussion
on
the
amendment
saying
not
any
objection
to
the
question.
Cnn,
all
those
in
favor
of
sentiment
number
one

two
vote.
I
when
the
bell
rings,
those
opposed,
don't
know,
has
every

So
you

what's

Thank
you,
mr

members.
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
interest
in
what's
happening
with
the
budget
so
and
also
concerns
about
budget
amendments.
So
the
deadline
for
filing
amendments
to
the
budget
bill
house
bill
2882
we've
extended
that
until
12
noon
tomorrow,
that
same
deadline
will
apply
for
budget
amendments
for
full
finance.
