A
A
I
hereby
declare
the
house
of
representatives
of
the
112th
general
assembly
of
the
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
hicks
of
washington
will
serve
as
the
chaplain
of
the
day
representative
hicks.
B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
We
are
all
aware
of
folks
like
paul
peter
and
jesus
because
they
are
mentioned
quite
often
throughout
the
bible.
But
if
you're
like
me,
you
always
like
about
reading
about
people
that
are
not
mentioned
quite
as
often
well
in
judges,
3
31.
We
can
find
one
of
those
people.
It
reads.
B
After
ehood
came
shamgar
son
of
anath
who
struck
down
600
philistines
with
an
ox
goat.
He
too
saved
israel,
one
man,
one
verse
10
seconds
for
you
to
read
about
him
and
a
lifetime
of
change.
If
you
grasp
his
important
lessons
pronounce
his
name,
slowly,
shamgar
you
can
almost
hear
the
growl
at
the
end,
there
is
power
in
that
name:
shamgar
had
power,
but
shamgar
wasn't
a
military
man.
Nor
was
he
a
politician.
B
Shamgar
was
most
likely
an
ordinary
farmer
trying
to
provide
for
his
family
when
the
enemy,
the
philistines
terrorized,
the
nation
of
israel,
shamgar,
didn't
wait
to
become
great
to
do
something
great
shamgar
saved
the
entire
nation
of
israel.
As
a
farmer
members,
I
know
as
much
as
anybody
that
life
may
not
be
what
we
always
want
it
to
be.
I
understand
life
has
challenges,
but
the
first
lesson
in
becoming
a
man
of
influence
and
impact
is
to
stop
making
excuses.
B
If
you
are
a
farmer-
and
that's
all
you
know
how
to
do,
then
ask
god
how
he
wants
you
to
use
your
fl
farming
to
influence
and
impact
the
realm
you
live
in
now,
don't
wait
to
become
a
big
shot
to
do
big,
shot
things
for
our
state
and,
more
importantly,
for
our
lord,
let's
pray,
dear
gracious
and
heavenly
father.
We
thank
you
for
this
beautiful
day
and
we
pray
that
you'll
be
with
us
as
we
conduct
the
business
of
the
great
state
of
tennessee
lord.
B
We
pray
that
you'll
help
us
to
be
fearless
leaders
like
shamgar
lord.
We
have
a
special
prayer
for
those
that
cannot
be
with
us
today:
pray
for
their
families
and
just
pray
for
healing
for
part.
Lord
just
pray
for
comfort
and
just
pray
that
you'll
really
really
be
with
those
folks.
Today,
lord,
forgive
us
where
we
fail
you
and
thank
you
most
of
all
for
sending
your
son
to
die
on
the
cross
for
our
sins
and
thank
you
so
much
that
he
rose
on
the
third
day
in
jesus
name.
I
pray,
amen.
B
A
A
C
A
B
Yet
somehow
celeste
thomas
has
survived
and
even
excelled
as
a
legislative
staffer
for
for
some
48
years
and
where
celeste
first
entered
these
hallowed
halls
in
january
1973,
when
that
mcquarter
was
serving
his
first
term
and
speaker
of
the
house
and
leisure
suits
for
all
their
age
and
fashion
and
whereas,
in
the
course
of
her
illustrious
career
with
the
house
of
representatives,
celeste
has
worked
under
eight
governors
and
eight
speakers
add
three
to
that
total.
And
you
have
the
number
of
members
she
has
served.
B
19
and
whereas,
after
nearly
40
years
wandering
in
the
desert,
celeste
thomas
got
her
just
desserts
when
she
was
named
house
employee
of
the
year
in
2014
and
whereas,
throughout
her
legislative
career,
celeste
thomas
has
displayed
a
subtle
sense
of
humor,
though,
through
which
she
expresses
her
genuine
admiration
and
respect
for
house
members
and
their
legislation.
And
whereas
on
march
12,
2021
celeste
thomas
will
take
her
final
curtain
call
and
exit
stage
right
to
life
beyond
the
general
assembly
before
she
leaves
the
building.
C
Thank
you,
mr
speaker
and
members.
If
you
will
remember
about
a
month
ago,
we
had
a
a
reception
for
celeste
thomas
over
in
cordell
hull.
We
were
able
to
recognize
her
from
the
gallery
that
day,
but
due
to
cover
protocols,
we
weren't
able
to
do
this
on
the
floor,
but
really,
I
think
it
kind
of
worked
out,
because
we
were
able
to
bring
her
back
and
celebrate
her
here
today
and
honestly,
it's
kind
of
appropriate
because
you
know
nashville
legends,
they
don't
just
really
slip
away
into
retirement.
C
They
have
farewell
tours,
and
so
I
think
it's
appropriate
that
celeste
thomas
be
have
a
farewell
tour.
If
anyone
is
deserving
of
that
she
certainly
is
you
heard
the
clerk
name,
a
number
of
members
that
that
she
worked
for
and
former
members.
We
were
very
fortunate
to
have
several
of
them
with
us.
This
morning,
former
representative,
philip
johnson
and
his
wife
allison,
I
believe,
are
over
here
in
this
corner.
C
Celeste
taught
me
that
getting
elected
is
not
what
makes
you
honorable,
but
it
is
a
title
that
should
be
earned
by
treating
others
every
day
with
honesty,
decency,
respect
and
kindness.
She
made
me
a
much
better
legislator
than
I
ever
would
have
been
on
my
own.
You
have
been
and
continue
to
be
a
blessing
in
my
life,
so.
C
D
D
My
entire
service,
then
celeste
thomas,
she
guided
me
she
prayed
for
me
and
she
kept
me
straight
and
I
could
never
repay
her
or
thank
her
sufficiently
because,
like
representative
johnson
said,
my
success
is
due
to
her
she's,
the
one
that
dealt
with
the
constituents
set
up.
The
schedules
made
the
appointments
and
made
me
the
representative
that
I
was
so
celeste.
We
honor
you
love
you.
A
C
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
just
for
some
final
remarks.
Celeste
knows
I'm
a
big
I'm
a
big
movie
buff.
Of
course
everyone
in
this
chamber
is
probably
familiar
with
it's
a
wonderful
life.
You
know
at
the
end
of
that
movie,
george
bailey's
kind,
he
kind
of
realizes
what
a
different
place
bedford
falls
would
have
been
had
he
not
been
there
and
well.
I
want
to
assure
you
that
the
state
of
tennessee
would
be
a
very
different
place.
C
Had
you
not
been
here,
there
have
been
truly
hundreds
of
thousands
of
people
that
you
have
helped
represent
through
the
different
offices.
You've
worked
in
over
a
million
people,
you've
helped
represent,
and
you
know
those
simple
phone
calls
of
someone
needing
help
with
unemployment
or
or
some
sort
of
government
permit.
That
makes
a
difference
in
people's
lives
that
that
helped
put
that
that
check
on
the
table
the
next
week,
and
so
you
change
people's
lives.
C
Tennessee
is
better
because
of
you
and
and
we're
we're
glad
you
joined
us
today,
so
we
could
honor,
you
and
mr
speaker,
if
maybe,
if
speaker,
marcia
and
speaker
sexton,
could
join
us
in
the
well
for
for
a
quick
photo,
we'll
we'll
we'll
do
a
photo
with
with
mist,
yes,
hey
and
also.
I
also
want
to
honor
all
the
all
these
lovely
folks
up
here
who
worked
with
with
miss
thomas
for
so
many
years.
These
are.
These
are
all
of
our
great
assistants.
C
A
B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
It's
an
honor
to
see
our
colleagues
from
days
gone
by
and
so
tickled
to
see
bobby
wood
there's
just
a
handful
of
us
that
still
serve
with
bobby
such
a
great
example
to
those
of
us
who
started
in
the
legacy
that
he's
left.
I
rise
today
in
honor
of
a
10
year
old
young
lady,
some
of
y'all
remember
a
little
less
than
10
years
ago.
My
daughter
caitlin
grace
made
her
debut
on
this
floor
as
a
10
year
or
excuse
me
a
10
day
old
baby.

Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
E
Members
this
bill-
I
lovingly
refer
to
as
the
teacher
free
agency
bill.
What
it
does
is
change
the
methodology
in
which
teachers
are
notified,
that
their
services
will
not
be
retained
by
an
lea,
brings
it
more
into
modern
times
and
will
allow
for
a
more
seamless
transition,
as
lea
staff
and
teachers
decide
how
to
move
on
with
their
careers.
And
with
that
sir,
I
renew
my
motion.
A
A
A
E
A
G
E
E
E
There's
been
incidences
of
as
a
result
of
federal
regulatory
requirements
of
a
developer,
constructing
something
in
close
proximity
to
the
pipeline,
which
requires
the
pipeline
to
go
in
and
spend
millions
on
an
upgrade
of
that
facility.
And
so
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
if
we
catch
everything
early
on
and
get
people
talking
together,
then
we
can
hopefully
avoid
such
conflicts.
I
E
E
Well,
representative
hardaway,
it
has
not
been
contemplated.
I
I
can't
answer
that
question
appropriately.
That
would
be
something
that
I
would
be
happy
to
look
into,
because
that's
another
industry
that
we
could
look
at
and
with
regards
to,
what's
going
on.
In
my
understanding,
I'm
not
dire,
have
no
direct
knowledge,
but
from
what
I
read
in
media
accounts,
the
issue
with
the
by
helia
pipeline
in
memphis
has
to
do
with
existing
a
new
pipeline
coming
through
and
near
existing
subdivisions.
E
This
is
contemplates
the
scenario
that
is
exactly
different
from
that,
where
you
have
an
existing
pipeline
and
a
developer
is
contemplating
building
neighborhoods
within
660
feet
of
that
pipeline.
So
it's
a
it's
a
two
different
things,
but
I'd
be
happy
to
look
at
that
issue
with
you
come
next
january.
I
I
So
I'm
asking
you
to
get
with
me
as
soon
as
possible,
not
next
january,
to
help
me
to
figure
this
thing
out,
so
that
our
not
just
those
homeowners
but
everyone
in
the
region
that
depends
upon
the
aquifer
that
water
from
the
aquifer
that
impacts
the
whole
region,
especially
west
tennessee.
So
thank
you
for
your
initiative.
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
as
soon
as
possible
to
address
these
other
environmental
issues.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
chairman
vaughn,.
A
A
A
A
A
A
J
A
A
J
You,
mr
speaker,
members
this
bill,
as
you
remember,
has
been
on
the
floor
a
few
times
and
we
sent
it
back
to
committee.
I
want
to
make
sure
we
get
a
accurate
detail
of
what
this
bill
is.
There
seems
to
be
some
a
little
bit
of
information
out
there.
So
let
me
let
me
highlight
this
first,
what
this
bill
does
do.
It
does
prohibit
a
general
general
assembly
member
president
and
future
from
doing
any
work
in
the
legislative
branch
period.
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
If
you're
currently
providing
or
have
offered
to
provide
a
service,
whether
or
not
you
were
able
to
provide
it
as
long
as
you
offered
to
provide
it
or
are
providing
it,
you
can
be
grandfathered
in,
and
all
you
have
to
do
is
by
september
of
this
year,
put
it
on
your
ethics
disclosure
that
you're
providing
the
service
to
the
state
of
tennessee,
not
legislative
side.
That's
illegal!
If
you
pass
this
bill,
just
that
you're
providing
them
whether
you're
providing
it
or
have
offered,
but
you
didn't
get
the
contract.
J
J
J
J
J
G
Representative
parkerson,
thank
you,
mr
speaker
and
mr
speaker.
If
you'll
leave
my
mic
on
I'd,
appreciate
it,
and
I
promise
you
I'll
be
cordial
to
the
sponsor
you
mentioned,
I'm
just
trying
to
get
some
clarification
on
some
of
the
things
you
mentioned
and
and
first
of
all
you
know.
Let
me
thank
you
for
the
clarification.
J
G
G
B
B
I
feel,
like
chairman,
I
guess
I'll
address
chairman
or
speaker
you
because
I
don't
know
sure
whose
bill
it
is,
but
I
feel
like
we're.
Creating
a
class
of
some
we'll
be
able
to
perform
this
function,
providing
services
and
some
will
not
and
five
years
from
now.
I
think
we'll
have
members
in
here
who
can
and
then
cannot
and
then
others
cannot,
and
so
I
wish
you
guys
speaker,
I
wish
I'd
made
it
much
more
stricter.
I
think
that
would
be
better
be
better
for
all
of
us.
I
really
do
my
one.
J
Yes,
representative,
to
be
honest
with
you,
I
could
sue
you
for
anything
that
I
wanted
to
either
so
in
the
court
would
have
to
make
that
decision
on
that
case.
But
what
I
will
tell
you
is
we
ran
this
through
legal.
We
ran
this
through
our
ethics
attorney.
We
ran
this
through
other
attorneys
that
are
in
our
state
and
in
the
bill
it
says
you
are
not
prohibited
from
doing
local
government
contracts.
That's
very
clear
on
what
the
intent
of
the
bill
is
and
that's
how
we're
moving
forward.
B
Representative
castman,
let
me
close
with
this.
I
applaud
applaud
what
you're
doing.
I
think
it's
the
right
thing.
I
just
think
it's
just
a
little
tepid
and
I
just
feel
like
the
constitution
will
get
somebody
in
trouble
at
a
future
date
because
of
the
way
it's
worded
so
but
again
applied
your
hard
work
and
I
applaud.
I
think
this
is
a
good
step.
I
just
don't
think
it
goes
far
enough.
Thank
you.
Victor
sexton.
J
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
if
we're
worried
about
what
someone's
going
to
do
on
a
and
saying
what
the
constitution
says,
or
no,
we
probably
wouldn't
pass
half
the
bills
that
we
pass
representative,
and
so
therefore
you
can't
be
concerned
about
what
a
court
may
or
may
not
say,
or
what
the
constitution
may
or
may
not
say
is
happening
until
you
have
that
case.
But
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
members
of
the
general
assembly
should
not
profit
off
their
service,
and
so
that's
what
this
bill
gets.
Could
it
be
more
strict?
J
Maybe
could
it
get
the
votes
to
pass?
Who
knows
the
bill
that
you
have
in
front
of
you
is
what
we
think
is
a
fair
and
balanced
approach
to
over
time.
Make
it
to
where
anybody
who's
serving
the
general
assembly
will
not
be
able
to
provide
goods
and
services
without
adversely
affecting
someone
who
came
in
under
a
different
wall,
and
that's
pretty
clear,
but
what
I
will
tell
you
is
based
on
our
turnover
and
the
number
of
people
here.
J
E
E
J
E
That's
my
only
hiccup
with
this
bill
we're
we're
kind
of
creating
two
classes.
You
know
people
who
we're
we're
more
or
less.
You
know
granting
immunity
to
people
who've
been
violating
the
law,
but
elias
said
I'm
going
to
support
I'm
going
to
support
the
bill,
because
I
think
it's
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
E
E
But
when
we
come
back,
let's
also
address
the
executive
branch
as
well
and
add
them
into
this,
because
I
don't
think
anyone
should
be
profiting
off
public
service
and
I,
like
I
said
I
appreciate
what
you're
doing,
and
I
think
everyone
in
here
should
see
the
importance
of
what
you're
doing
about
where
you're
standing
today-
and
I
appreciate
like
I
said
this
bill-
has
problems
I'm
going
to
support
it,
but
you're
going
in
the
right
direction.
Thank
you.
J
Speaker
sexton,
thank
you.
What
I
would
say
is
it's
currently
a
crime
to
provide
goods
to
the
state
of
tennessee,
currently
we're
adding
services,
and
you
know
I
mean
if
people
don't
think
this
is
strong
enough,
then
I
would
would
think
that
you,
as
you
said,
would
be
supporting
at
least
this
version
to
get
it
to
that
point.
But
the
thing
is
you
don't
commit
a
crime
unless
you
break
the
law
the
way
this
is,
if
you
disclose
you're,
not
breaking
the
law.
Therefore
you're
not
creating
a
crime.
B
B
B
J
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
rise
in
support
of
what
you're
doing
here.
I
just
need
clarity
on
one
issue
if,
as
as
several
members
here
are
insurance
agents,
and
obviously
we've
got
several
attorneys
if
a
member
comes
up
to
me
and
asks
me
to
quote
or
sell
them
a
home
or
auto
insurance
policy,
does
this
legislation
prohibit
that
circumstance.
J
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
B
A
This
legislation
specifies
that
the
non-profit,
tennessee
state,
fair
association,
in
conjunction
with
the
wilson
county
promotions,
incorporated
to
operate
to
state
fair.
This
ensures
the
state
fair,
is
not
simply
contracted
to
the
highest
bidder
and
eliminates
uncertainty.
The
gov
in
the
governor's
budget.
He
has
proposed
a
5
million
dollar
budget
item
for
this
move.
With
that,
I
renew
my.
A
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
thank
you
chairman
marsh,
as
a
lifelong
attendee
of
the
wilson
county,
fair
and
good
friends
and
family,
with
many
of
the
volunteers
who
have
really
developed
a
world-class
county
fair
in
wilson
county
over
the
years
and
as
a
former
member
of
the
metro,
fair
board.
I
think
I
can
safely
say
and
represent
to
my
colleagues
that
the
state
fair
will
be
in
good
hands
in
wilson,
county
with
randall
clemens
and
all
the
others
who
put
on
a
world-class
fair,
and
I
think
the
state
of
tennessee
will
be
very
proud.
E
Kind
of
echo
my
my
friend
from
nashville
here
about,
I
hope
that
wilson
county
continues
to
grow
this
most
most
state
fairs.
If
you
don't
know,
this
will
average
over
a
hundred
thousand
people
a
day.
We
have
not
been
averaging
that,
with
our
state,
fair
and
with
the
state
of
agriculture
in
tennessee.
I
hope
wilson
county
can
push
this
even
further
than
what
it
was.
E
E
We'll
vote
for
and
support
the
bill,
but
I
do
think
it's
you
know
somewhat
sad
day
for
for
nashville,
because
I
think
a
lot
of
people
here
have
enjoyed
having
the
state
fair
in
nashville.
I
know
times
change
and
wilson
county
has
done
a
really
good
job
with
their
state
fair.
But
you
know,
I
think
it's
also
important.
I
recognize
a
lot
of
different
rural
parts
of
davidson
county,
believe
it
or
not
that
still
exists,
and
so
farming
and
the
fair
and
agricultural
still
important
to
nashville,
particularly
parts
of
my
district.
E
So
I
you
know,
I
realize
it's
time
it's
a
bittersweet
moment,
because
a
lot
of
great
memories
happened
here
in
nashville
at
our
fairgrounds,
and
you
know,
I'm
hopeful
that
many
of
those
same
folks
will
still
be
able
to
go
to
wilson.
County
enjoy
the
fair,
and
I
think
it
will
be
successful.
But
you
know
just
kind
of
a
bittersweet
moment
just
wanted
to
reiterate
how
you
know:
we've
enjoyed
having
the
fair
in
nashville
for
many
many
years,
and
I'm
appreciative.
A
H
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
we're
that
time
of
the
year
when
everybody's
getting
along
well
and
agreeing
with
one
another,
so
I
just
wanted
to
rise
at
least
once
a
year.
I
try
to
find
something
that
representative
clemens
and
I
agree
upon,
and
here
today
we
have
found
that
bill
he's
ignoring
me
right
now,
but
I
agree
with
representative
clemens
and
everything
he
says.
I
appreciate
his
comments.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
B
E
E
J
C
J
B
E
J
E
You,
mr
speaker,
this
bill
was
brought
to
me
by
the
county
officials,
association
of
tennessee,
and
it's
correcting
some
issues
that
have
come
to
light
since
the
pandemic
with
conservatorship.
It
provides
an
additional
avenue
for
notifying
the
next
of
kin
of
conservatorship's
proceedings.
Current
law
allows
only
certified
mail
notice
to
next
of
kin.
A
problem
exists
when
next
of
kin's
whereabouts
are
unknown
or
extraordinary
circumstances.
For
example,
the
post
office
cannot
deliver
or
will
not
deliver
due
to
natural
disasters
or
pandemics.
E
As
an
example,
this
bill
alleviates
a
situation
where
no
address
can
be
found
for
the
next
of
kin.
It
also
clarifies
that
medical
records
attached
to
a
petition
for
conservatorship
are
confidential.
Current
law
implies
that
the
potentially
disabled
person
has
the
burden
to
request
their
medical
records
to
be
sealed
by
the
court.
This
allows
that
their
attorney
may
do
that.
For
them,
the
petitioner
is
still
responsible
for
the
cost
of
publication,
as
applicable,
despite
the
length
of
the
explanation
in
your
calendars.
That
is
the
sum
of
the
bill.
J
Let's
journal
reflect
representative
grills
and
chairman
dixie
are
excused
chairman
reagan
renews
his
motion.
Any
discussion
on
the
bill
see
any
objection
to
the
question
scene.
None
all
those
in
favor
senate
bill
1440
vote.
I
with
the
bell
rings
those
posts
don't
know,
as
every
member
casts
their
vote.
Does
they
remember
which
change
their.
J
J
A
D
Are
recognized,
thank
you
very
much,
mr
speaker
and
members
of
the
general
assembly.
I
rise
for
amendment
three
and
I
have
a
following
amendment
number
four:
to
try
to
address
what
I
see
is
problem
with
this
legislation
and
it
has
to
deal
with
revocation
of
probation
if
someone
violates
the
conditions
of
probations
as
the
bill
is
currently
written,
it
provides
the
for
revocation
based
upon
technical
violations,
and
technical
violations
are
violations
less
than
a
class.
A
misdemeanor.
D
Members,
if
someone
is
granted
probation
rather
than
going
to
jail
and
serving
a
sentence,
that's
a
grant
that
the
judge
gives
a
person
to
try
to
get
that
person
to
change
their
behavior
and
that's
what
this
is
all
about
is
behavior
modification.
Nobody
wants
to
put
people
in
jail
and
have
them
sit
there.
D
Some
of
the
other
violations
that
are
simply
violations
of
probation
conditions
would
be
refusing
to
show
up
when
you're
told
to
show
up
refusing
a
drug
screen
having
a
positive
drug
screen
for,
say,
cocaine,
opioids
prescriptions
medications.
It
would
not
include
meth,
because
meth
is
a
zero
tolerance
provision,
but
members
I
submit
that
what
we
ought
to
do
is
allow
our
circuit
judges,
they're.
The
best
position
to
evaluate
an
offender
determine
what
that
offender's
needs
are
hear
the
evidence
and
the
proof
based
upon
the
probation
violation.
That's
what
we
hire
our
judges
to
do.
D
I
think
it's
very
presumptuous.
I
know
it
may
save
the
money
for
the
state
of
tennessee
a
little
bit,
but
for
the
safety
of
the
community.
Our
judges
are
in
the
best
position
to
make
these
decisions
day
in
and
day
out,
and
I
would
urge
adoption
of
amendment
three
and
amendment
four.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
K
K
They're
the
result
of
tireless
efforts
by
the
governor's
task
force
they've
been
vetted
by
members
of
this
legislature
through
multiple
committee
hearings
and
negotiations,
and
have
been
signed
off
on
by
leadership
of
this
chamber
and
of
the
senate.
But
most
importantly,
I
think-
and
I
know
this
is
not
your
intent,
but
the
proposed
amendment.
K
In
my
view,
would
eviscerate
the
primary
priority
of
the
governor
in
advancing
criminal
justice
reform
and
gut
the
impact
that
this
bill
can
ultimately
have
on
our
communities
these
bills?
These
policies
they're
focused
on
reducing
recidivism,
which
is
the
key
driver
of
our
prison
population,
and
I'm
going
to
talk
more
about
that
when
we
get
on
the
bill,
but
but
this
the
policies
in
this
bill
have
been
vetted
and
for
the
members
who
are
not
on
the
relevant
committees
that
have
talked
about
these
for
months.
K
J
D
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
speaker,
and
thank
for
the
sponsor
for
those
kind
words
and
we,
my
good
friend
it's
just.
I
wish
I
hope
every
member
has
had
a
chance
to
talk
to
their
circuit
court
judges
and
their
da's
about
this,
and
you
know
we
need
a
carrot
and
a
stick
approach,
and
if
the
stick
is
a
little
twig
when
it
comes
to
probation,
I
don't
think
we're
gonna
get
the
results
we're
looking
for.
For
that
reason,
I
submit
it
to
the
members.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Thank
you
sponsor.
J
D
J
K
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
I
won't
prolong
this,
but
I
have
similar
concerns
as
the
last
amendment.
But
members
understand
this
bill
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction
and
I'm
going
to
talk
more
when
we
get
on
the
bill,
but
this
is
incremental
progress
and
incremental
progress
is
good
progress
because
we
can
take
a
step
forward.
We
can
see
how
we're
doing
we
can
reassess,
and
then
we
can
build
on
that
progress
or
we
can
adjust
as
needed.
This
bill
has
been
vetted
by
folks
all
across
all
95
counties
of
tennessee.
K
We
did
not
arrive
at
these
conclusions
overnight,
and
I
I
submit
this
to
you
as
the
bill
that
I
would
like
to
run,
as
I
have
it
drafted
is,
is
the
bill
that
I
think
is
puts
tennessee
in
the
best
posture
to
lead
on
this
subject.
So
with
that
members,
I
would
ask
that
we
move
this
amendment
to
the
table.
J
J
B
A
J
J
K
K
It's
the
life
of
a
third
grader
who
sits
in
my
wife's
classroom
this
morning
wondering
what
happened
to
her
daddy
and
her
father,
like
75
percent
of
the
folks
who
entered
our
are
prisons
and
jails.
Last
year
is
a
non-violent
person
who
has
a
mental
health
and
a
substance
abuse
issue.
We
all
know
people
like
that.
K
It
says
if
you've
done
something
against
the
law,
where
you're
clearly
harming
yourself
and
yes
may
be
harming
others,
but
you're
non-violent
you've
got
a
mental
health
or
a
substance
abuse
issue.
We
want
to
do
all
that.
We
can
to
divert
you
from
going
to
county
jail
or
to
prison.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
you
have
an
opportunity
to
rehabilitate
yourself.
That
is
what
this
bill
seeks
to
do
it's
about
alternatives
to
incarceration.
K
By
doing
so,
we
can
help
that
little
girl
get
to
see
her
father
when
she
comes
off
the
school
bus
at
night,
but
we
can
also
make
sure
that
we
separate
in
our
minds
again
who
we're
mad
at
versus,
who
we're
afraid
of
because,
as
long
as
we're
clogging
up
bed
space
with
folks
that
we're
mad
at
we're
not
going
to
have
enough
space
for
the
people
that
we're
afraid
of
tennessee
has
got
a
raging.
Mental
health
and
substance
abuse
issue.
This
bill
seeks
to
address
that.
K
It
also
seeks
to
address
the
fact
that
we
are
incarcerating
more
people
than
we
ever
have
before
we're
spending
well
over
a
billion
dollars.
Now.
The
fourth
largest
line
item
in
our
budget
is
the
department
of
corrections
and
we're
at
10
percent
higher
than
the
national
average
for
our
rate
of
incarceration.
K
Yet,
at
the
same
time,
our
violent
crime
rate
has
gone
down.
Tennesseans
are
no
more
violent.
Tennesseans
are
no
more
prone
to
crime
than
the
rest
of
the
nation,
yet
we're
incarcerating
10
percent
more
than
the
rest
of
the
country.
So
members,
I
ask
you
to
examine
this
legislation
again.
The
purpose
here
is
to
try
to
create
alternatives,
to
incarceration,
to
try
and
get
as
many
tennesseans
at
home
working
raising
their
own
children,
so
the
dcs
doesn't
have
to,
and
so
that
maybe
I
don't
have
to
put
another
family
member
in
the
ground.
J
D
So
my
question
is:
what's
the
definition
of
a
qualified
private
entity
and
what
type
of
private
business
is
going
to
profit
under
this
legislation?
I
want
to
make
sure
we
have
the
right
entities
that
are
highly
qualified
and
and
appropriately
licensed,
and
I
just
didn't
see
the
definition
of
that
in
in
the
bill.
So
could
you
address
that.
K
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
I
appreciate
your
your
concern
about
that.
We
had
a
lot
of
debate
in
sub-committee
and
full
about
community
corrections
and
the
folks
that
are
that
are
performing
this
work
now,
so
this
bill
would
not
change
who's
eligible.
Those
folks
are
still
able
to
to
to
bid
on
a
an
rfp
or
something
of
that
nature.
K
So
so
the
bill
doesn't
really
change
anything
about
the
types
of
companies
that
are
available
to
do
this
sort
of
work
it
just
it
just
simply
encourages
through
the
judicial
process
a
way
to
divert
more
folks
to
those
programs.
What
we've
said
all
along
through
committee
or
what
I've
said
all
along
through
committee,
is
the
only
problem
with
drug
courts,
for
example,
is
just
not
enough
of
them.
K
D
D
I
would
love
to
see
us
investing
money
in
more
drug
courts,
more
mental
health
courts
across
the
state
of
tennessee-
and
you
know
the
state
is
you
know
incarceration,
and
these
types
of
things
are
generally
considered
an
inherent
governmental
function
and
so
the
more
we
outsource
this
and
privatize
these
things.
It
just
raises
alarms
in
my
mind,
because
if
you
look
at
the
private
prison
corporation
act
in
tennessee
law,
it
reads
pretty
good,
but
we
all
know
what
that's
led
to
in
many
cases.
D
G
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
thank
you,
mr
sponsor,
I'm
going
to
sign
on
to
the
bill.
Also,
if
I'm
not
already
on
it,
you
know,
I,
I
think
it's
important
that
that
we
do
bring
to
everyone's
attention
that-
and
this
came
from
of
the
commissioner
of
corrections
when
he
wasn't
the
commissioner
at
the
time.
G
I
think
he
was
over
one
of
the
institutions
and
he
said
that
over
70
members,
if
I
could
get
your
attention
one
second,
he
said
the
commissioner
said
over
70
of
the
inmates
that
are
incarcerated
in
tennessee
are
on
mental
health,
medication,
mental
health
medication.
So
what
that
says
is
we
as
a
state,
missed
an
opportunity
to
get
to
them
before
they
acted
out
because
of
their
possibly
their
mental
health
status?
G
And
now
we
are
housing
mentally
ill
tennesseans
in
our
prisons
and
jails,
so
we've
supplanted
tennessee
mental
health
institutions
for
prisons
and
jails,
and
so
I
want
you
to
think
about
70
percent
over
70
percent,
and
I
thank
you
for
bringing
this
legislation.
You
know
that
helps
to
address
some
of
that.
G
You
know,
and
and
here's
here's
something
that's
important
to
note
too
members
being
smart
on
crime
and
being
tough
on
crime
does
not
always
mean
locking
people
up
being
smart
on
crime
and
being
tough
on
crime
means
knowing
who
to
lock
up
and
when
to
lock
them
up.
I
always
stated
you
know
before
I
was
kicked
off
of
the
criminal
committee.
G
I
always.
I
always
stated
that
there
are
two
types
of
crimes:
crimes
that
make
us
scared
and
crimes
that
make
us
mad,
so
those
crimes
that
irritate
us
a
little
bit,
but
those
crimes
that
make
us
scared
are
the
ones
that
we
need
to
be
locking
up
those
crimes
that
irritate
us
tick
us
off
some.
We
need
to
find
a
way
to
get
to
those
individuals.
G
G
With
sponsor
yield,
thank
you.
Thank
you
sponsor,
I'm
just
in
committee.
I
thank
you
and
governor
bill
lee.
You
know
our
governor
is
probably
not
only
pro-business
he's
pro-compassion
he's
pro
common
sense.
If
you
look
back
at
my
community
and
I
hate
to
call
out
my
own
community,
you
know
it's
sad,
but
the
media
called
them
out.
We
had
a
situation
called
pcc
private
probation
company.
G
G
The
media
ended
up
helping
with
some
of
that,
but
as
far
as
leverage
leveraging,
the
private
sector
only
makes
good
sense,
leveraging
the
churches
leveraging
folks
like
men
of
valor.
I
think
the
governor
gets
it.
I
think
you
get
it
curcio.
I
think
the
speaker
gets
it.
We
need
a
serious
discussion
about
what
the
I
don't
want
to
use
profanity
on
the
floor,
but
I
sometimes
want
to
to
be
honest
with
you,
because
we
got
to
start
giving
a
crap
about
people
seriously.
G
We
talk
about
conflicts
of
interest,
all
the
money
up
here.
Let's
set
up
a
strong
task
force
and
continue
to
look
at
this
kind
of
stuff.
That's!
What's
going
on
our
country
houses,
more
prisoners
on
the
face
of
the
earth
than
any
country
on
the
here.
Why
we
put
a
man
on
the
moon,
but
we
can't
solve
these
problems.
We
gotta.
We
got
a
drug
problem
in
this
state.
We
got
a
drug
problem
in
my
community
and
I
don't
want
to
drop
no
profanity.
G
Sometimes
I
want
to
because
we
got
to
start
giving
a
crap.
I
read
a
scripture
this
morning,
brother
alan
jackson,
world
outreach.
Somebody
sent
me
a
book
called
courageous
faith,
courageous
faith,
let's
be
courageous
in
our
faith,
talk
about
being
the
salt
and
the
light
it's
hard
to
be
the
salt
of
light
in
a
dark
world
man.
It
really
is
so.
Thank
you,
curcio.
G
Thank
you
speaker
for
giving
up
dang
about
some
of
these
things
and
thank
you,
governor
bill,
lee
and
men
of
valor
and
other
private
sector
and
churches
that
are
going
to
have
to
start
stepping
up
when
we
see
a
breakdown
in
our
culture,
that's
what's
going
on
every
day
every
day
it's
happening.
Thank
you,
sir.
J
H
H
I've
seen
that
in
court.
It
is
so
easy
when
to
give
somebody
that
last
chance
on
probation
well,
if
you're,
sick
and
tired
of
dealing
with
them,
if
we've,
if
at
the
end
of
our
rope
as
a
society,
send
them
to
prison,
tdoc
can
handle
them
and
they'll
do
the
best
they
can
to
still
rehabilitate
them
within
the
prison
walls.
H
But
if
you're,
a
judge
out
there
and
you're
listening
to
this
debate
and
you're
willing
to
take
a
chance
on
somebody
on
probation,
really
dig
deep
into
their
lives
find
out
why
they
were
on
your
docket,
find
out
why
they're
on
probation
and
the
parole
board
the
same
thing
make
sure
we're
giving
them
the
the
tools
that
they
need.
That's
why
community
corrections
funding
is
preserved
in
this
bill.
Many
of
you
probably
received
emails
about
community
corrections
going
away
as
part
of
this
bill.
That
program
is
not
going
away.
H
In
fact,
it
is
funded
in
here,
and
we
will
have
reporting
requirements
to
ensure
that
those
programs
are
being
both
developed
and
implemented
at
a
very
high
level.
This
is
life
and
death.
Stuff,
literally,
I
cannot
say
it
too
dramatically
this
bill
in
the
next
one
is
life
and
death,
because
if
we
do
this
well,
you
can
have
people
that,
for
generations
will
live
life
in
bounds.
If
we
fail
at
it,
then
it
literally
can
cost
people
their
lives,
overdoses,
additional
crime,
recidivism.
H
The
goals
of
this
bill
are
to
reduce
crime
in
this
state,
reduce
recidivism
and
to
change
generations
of
lives,
because
if
you've
got
one
person
that
you
can
change
as
a
part
of
this
bill,
it's
worth
voting
for.
In
my
humble
opinion,
thank
you
for
bringing
it
chairman
and
thank
you,
governor
lee,
for
your
leadership
on
this
issue.
K
These
decisions
were
not
made
lightly,
they
were
not
made
in
a
vacuum,
and
I
I
I
suggest
to
you
that
the
work
product
that's
before
you
today
is
the
best
that
tennessee
can
offer
and
it
puts
us
on
the
proper
footing
moving
forward
and
I
look
forward
to
continue
to
working
on
these
issues
with
each
and
every
one
of
you.
So.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
renew
my
motion.
J
J
J
D
Thank
you,
mr
speakers
and
members.
I
moved
to
mend
this
legislation
and-
and
this
part
addresses
what
can
happen
if
someone
who's
served
a
sentence,
a
felony
sentence
and
they're
being
released
on
parole,
and
then
they
violate
the
condition
of
that
parole
for
something
less
than
a
misdemeanor
or
a
new
felony,
offense
or
above
and
instead
of
having
a
provision
where
it's
minim
at
most
15
days
for
the
first
violation
30
days
for
the
second
and
and
then
90
days
for
the
third
violation.
D
This
would
simply
give
the
board
of
parole
the
authority
to
revoke
or
senate
someone
for
something
less
than
a
class,
a
misdemeanor
or
absconding
to
not
more
than
90
days.
So
what
all
we'll
be
doing
is
giving
more
discretion
to
the
board
of
parole
to
determine
how
to
address
this
individual
who's
on
parole
and
the
reason
for
doing
this
is
again
it's
a
carrot.
Stick
approach.
D
D
You
know,
but
if
you
have
to
think
about
it
well,
I
might
get
90
days
for
screwing
up.
I
think
that's
a
much
better
incentive,
it's
a
bigger
stick
and
I
think
we
ought
to
give
that
to
our
probation
of
our
parole
board
when
they're
reviewing
these
sentences.
So
thank
you
very
much,
mr
speaker.
Thank
the
sponsor
for
legislation.
J
K
You,
mr
speaker,
and
and
thank
you
for
the
amendment
and
it's
a
similar
discussion
as
we
had
on
on
the
first
bill,
but
but
I
do
want
to
strike
at
the
heart
of
this
because
again,
these
these
shock
incarceration
numbers
that
are
built
into
this
bill
are
something
that
many
of
us
who
worked
on
these
bills.
For
for
years.
K
We
toiled
over
because
at
the
same
time
we
do
believe
there
needs
to
be
a
stick.
There's
got
to
be
a
carrot,
but
at
this,
but
what
we
say
is
that
if
we
hit
somebody
with
such
a
huge
hammer
that
they
can't
come
back,
we
may
as
well
just
reincarcerated
them.
Anyway,
you
sent
somebody
to
jail
for
90
days,
and
I
would
propose
to
this
body
that
that
is
not
shock
incarceration.
K
After
90
days.
They
have
lost
their
job,
they
have
lost
their
family,
they
have
lost
their
house,
they
have
lost
anything.
They
could
do
to
rebuild
their
lives,
as
they've
tried
to
reintegrate
after
they've
left
prison.
So
I
I
agree
that
there
needs
to
be
tools
in
the
tool
chest
to
get
someone's
attention
to
make
sure
that
they
remember
why
they're
out
and
why
they
want
to
be
on
good
behavior.
K
I
would
just
suggest
to
this
body
that
the
numbers
that
we
built
into
this
bill
were
toiled
over
and-
and
we
did
not
arrive
at
these
lightly
and
and
I
had
different
versions
going
through.
You
know
these.
This
was
not
my
original
thought,
but
but
the
point
is
here
is
that
if
we
hit
somebody
with
such
a
huge
hammer,
we
may
as
well
just
send
them
right
back
to
prison,
because
that's
where
they're
going?
K
J
D
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
speaker,
and
thank
for
this
sponsor
on
this.
My
only
comment
would
be.
It
doesn't
require
a
90
day
sentence.
If
someone
violates
conditional
parole,
it
simply
gives
the
board
of
parole
the
flexibility
to
send
us
someone
up
to
90
days.
So
it's
that
threat
of
what
could
possibly
happen
to
you.
For
that
reason,
I
moved
to
adopt
the
amendment.
Thank
you.
J
For
our
money
situations,
representative
griffey
has
moved
adoption.
Amendment
number
four
representative
kersio
has
moved
that
motion
to
the
table.
We
are
voting
on
the
tabling
motion,
all
those
in
favor
vote
eye
when
the
bell
rings.
Those
opposed
vote
no
has
every
member
voted.
Does
any
member
wish
to
change
their.
J
D
D
J
K
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
again
similar
concerns,
and
I
do
respect
the
intent
with
which
this
this
amendment
was
brought,
and
this
would
certainly
be
an
alternative
way
to
do
it.
But
but
after
two
years
of
work
on
these,
we
really
feel
like
we've
got
them
in
the
right
spot
and
I'll
say
too
that
if
someone
is
violent,
if
they
are
a
threat
to
tennesseans
as
your
as
your
amendment
describes,
there
are
avenues
for
those
folks.
K
Okay,
if
somebody
recommits
or
commits
a
new,
violent
felony,
that's
going
to
be
treated
as
a
brand
new
case,
so
we're
you
know.
What
we're
trying
to
do
here
is
to
make
sure
that
that
we
get
folks,
reentering
and
reintegrating
back
into
society.
Remember
members
95
of
the
folks
who
are
sitting
in
tennessee
prisons
and
jails
will
be
coming
out
someday.
K
You
cannot
help
somebody
who
does
not
want
to
help
themselves,
but
I
hear
loud
and
clear
from
my
constituents
and
from
folks
across
the
state
of
tennessee
that
we
are
willing
to
help
people
who
will
help
themselves
and
that's
what
this
bill
is
about
so
respectfully
and
to
my
good
friend.
I
would
ask
that
the
body
move
this
amendment
to
the
table
and
move
forward
with
the
bill
as
we
have
it.
J
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
thank
you
for
the
sponsor.
I
members
I
just
want
to
share
with
you.
As
a
former
assistant
district
attorney,
I
I've
never
seen
a
situation
where
someone's
out
there
that's
making
an
honor,
honest
effort
and
may
have
made
a
slight
mistake
or
something
gets
hammered
by
the
judge
or
something
like
that
and
gets
automatically
voted.
It
may
happen
in
some
other
jurisdictions.
D
J
Permanently
situation,
representative
griffey
has
moved
adoption.
Amendment
number
five
representative
crocio
has
moved
that
motion
to
the
table.
We're
voting
on
the
table
in
motion
all
those
in
favor
vote.
I,
when
the
bell
rings
those
opposed
vote.
No,
as
every
member
voted
same
memoirs
change
their.
B
B
J
B
J
K
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Before
I
make
my
next
motion,
I
want
to
say
that
this
bill
has
has
changed
my
life
in
many
ways.
The
research
that
was
required
to
get
to
this
final
work
product
has
been
again
not
not
weeks
in
the
making
but
years
in
the
making,
and
during
that
time,
governor
lee
asked
senator
mike
bell
and
I
to
co-chair
some
something
called
the
governor's
volunteer,
mentorship
initiative
and
before
kovitz
started.
K
We
were
able
to
go
into
tennessee's
prisons
and
meet
with
folks
that
we
were
mentoring,
and
I
met
a
young
man
whose
name
is
jared.
I
won't
give
his
last
name
just
to
protect
his
privacy,
but
his
name
is
jared
and
when
we
met
there
at
the
tourney
center
industrial
complex,
he
was
90
days
from
getting
out
and
it
took
me
back
because
I
thought
I
was
gonna,
be
mentoring
and
working
with
somebody
who
may
have
six
or
ten
years
or
more
left
on
their
sentence.
K
As
most
of
my
colleagues,
who
were
there
with
me
did
but
jared
was
getting
out
in
90
days
and
he
got
out
actually
about
a
month
before
the
coveted
crisis
hit,
and
I
have
walked
with
him
step
by
step
through
that
re-entry
process,
and
I
have
seen
firsthand
what
it
looks
like
to
re-enter
our
society
from
a
tennessee
prison
and
jared
is
very
fortunate.
He's
got
a
mother
who
loves
him.
He's
got
a
place
to
sleep.
K
He
was
able
to
achieve
his
bachelor's
or
excuse
me
his
associate's
degree,
while
he
was
incarcerated
through
thei
and
was
able
to
to
go
on
to
higher
education
and
is
working
on
his
on
his
bachelor's
degree,
but
but
jared
needed
help.
He
needed
somebody
to
help
him
along
that
path.
There
are
many
opportunities,
I'm
sure
that
he
could
have
had.
That
would
have
taken
him
right
back.
Just
like
50
percent
of
the
folks
who
are
walking
out
of
tennessee
prisons
today
are,
but
he
was
different
because
he
had
a
re-entry
plan.
K
This
bill
helps
more
inmates,
have
a
reentry
plan
and
again
nobody's
talking
about
giving
anybody
a
handout.
Here.
This
bill
helps
people
who
want
to
help
themselves.
That's
what
I'm
about
that's
what
I
think
you
guys
are
about.
I
know
that's
what
tennesseans
are
about
is
helping
folks
who
are
willing
to
pull
themselves
up
by
their
bootstraps.
So
with
that,
mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.
J
H
The
only
thing
about
this
bill
that
is
still
missing
is
an
aspect
of
truth
and
sentencing.
That's
a
big
lift,
ladies
and
gentlemen.
A
huge
lift-
and
I
know
chairman
curcio
and
the
governor
myself-
hope
that,
literally
within
days
after
this
session,
ending
sometime
in
the
next
few
weeks
that
we
begin
that
journey
that
collectively,
we
all
start
talking
to
our
communities
about
how
a
12
year
sentence
at
30
percent.
While
this
does
the
best
with
that
structure
that
we
can,
that
needs
to
be
changed.
H
H
This
is
the
best
we
can
do
until
all
of
us
join
together
and
rewrite
the
sentencing
code
so
that
it
has
truth
and
sentencing
in
the
code,
and
we
can
make
sure
to
know
when
they're
coming
out
until
we
until
we
go
down
that
journey
and
go
down
that
path,
which
I
hope
will
be
soon.
This
will
make
a
massive
difference
in
people's
lives.
H
They
come
out,
they
go
in
they
come
out.
There
should
be
some
lengthy
sentences
on
the
books
for
those
individuals
that
are
truly
dangerous
or
just
repeat
felons.
So
again,
chairman.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
this.
I
look
forward
to
voting
for
this
and
I
look
forward
to
the
next
step
in
this
process
to
truly
reform
how
we
do
criminal
justice
in
the
state.
Thank
you.
J
J
J
B
B
J
B
B
In
addition,
obviously,
to
removing
the
name,
we
would
remove
any
insurance
related
legislation
from
the
committee's
purview,
and
that
is
because
both
houses
in
the
general
assembly
have
committees
that
look
at
these
issues
in
depth.
The
bill
would
also
delete
that
bills.
Reported
out
of
the
council
shall
not
be
considered
by
standing
committee.
Unless
the
committee
amendment
of
the
council
is
attached
to
the
bill.
That
means
that
bills
would
be
considered
by
committee
when
their
amendment
is
not
attached.
With
that.
Mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.
J
J
B
J
J
F
J
B
J
F
F
First
of
all,
we
named
it
after
caitlyn
kaufman,
who
lost
her
life
on
interstate
440,
a
few
months
back
due
to
a
person
shooting
from
their
car
on
the
interstate.
So
we
want
to
honor
her
and
her
family
and
naming
this
after
her,
but
here's
what
the
bill
does.
This
bill
will
simply
allow
the
tennessee
department
of
transportation
to
permit
law
enforcement
to
place
the
cameras
on
interstate
and
state
road
right
of
ways
for
the
purpose
of
aiding
in
this
is
important:
criminal
investigations
and
searches
for
missing
or
endangered
persons.
F
As
the
amendment
just
indicated,
right
now,
tennessee
is
missing
an
opportunity
with
one
of
the
most
effective
deployments
of
a
public
safety
technology,
the
automated
license
plate
reader
on
interstates
and
state
highways.
Now
this
is
important.
These
cameras
cannot
be
used
to
enforce,
monitor
or
issue
state
or
local
traffic
violations.
F
These
cameras
cannot
issue
citations
for
financial
responsibility
or
the
lack
of
car
insurance
violations.
That
is
part
of
this.
The
legislation
allows
the
same
lpr
technology
that
is
currently
used
in
our
police
vehicles
to
utilize
on
the
interstates
and
help
generate
leads
to
have
criminal
investigations
solve
crimes
and
find
missing
persons.
The
license
plate
reader
license
plates.
Only
the
license
plates
are
required
by
law
and
displayed
publicly.
There
is
no
reasonable
expectation
of
privacy
in
public
places
like
interstate
or
state
roads,
since
our
license
plates
are
public.
Lpr
data
is
confidential.
F
J
A
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and,
as
I
understand,
the
deployment
of
these
cameras
will
help
criminal
investigations,
help
solve
crimes
and
find
missing
persons,
and
they
cannot
be
used
to
enforce
or
monitor
or
issue
state
or
local
traffic
violations.
If
I
had
a
crime
committed
against
me
or
my
family,
I
would
love
to
know
that
our
law
enforcement
would
have
this
tool
to
catch
our
perpetrators,
and
I
understand
that
these
cameras
are
already
being
used
in
trooper
cars.
So
I
think
this
is
a
great
piece
of
legislation
and
I
will
be
voting
for
it.
F
F
Jimmy
white-
yes,
sir
anytime,
that
remember
this
is
for
criminal
investigations,
only
they're
not
used
for
any
other
thing,
but
if,
if
there
is
a
criminal
investigation,
the
way
these
things
work
and
let
me
just
explain
a
little
bit
to
answer
your
question.
They
only
read
the
license
plate.
They
do
not
see
the
car
as
far
as
whether
it's
a
ford
or
chevrolet
or
it's
red
or
it's
green.
F
It
just
tags
the
license
plate
and
they
are
stored
at
that
point
and
that's
all
in
90
days
they
go
away,
but
if
there
is
a
criminal
investigation
by
our
tbi
or
our
state
law
enforcement
and
they
get
a
hit
and
they
say
well
that
happened
the
incident.
You
just
brought
up
there's
a
trafficking
situation
and
they
have
a
license
plate.
They
can
feed
into
the
system
and
if
it
gets
a
hit,
then
they
can
say
well
that
car
was
last
seen
on
such
day,
heading
west
or
heading
east.
F
B
I
want
to
thank
you
also
for
bringing
this
legislation
chairman
howe,
and
I
had
the
opportunity
to
see
a
demonstration
of
these
lprs
from
the
tennessee
highway
patrol
and
you're
right.
These
will
go
a
long
way
in
helping
us
solve
these
serious
crimes
that
we
have.
In
fact,
I
want
to
thank
representative
beck
for
the
idea
to
name
this
after
kate
and
coughlin.
B
I
I
talked
to
her
mom
and
she
wants
something
good
to
come
out
of
the
tragic
death
of
her
daughter,
and
I
feel
this
is
one
way
we
can
do
that.
This
young
lady
came
down
here
from
pennsylvania.
She
loved
nashville.
She
always
wanted
to
be
here
in
nashville
and
she
was
a
intensive
care
nurse
on
the
way
to
work
and
tbi
feels
they
could
have
solved
this
crime
or
identified
the
perpetrators
within
four
hours.
If
these
cameras
have
been
played
in
place
on
our
interstates.
F
F
D
I
believe
that
the
primary
duty
of
government
power
is
to
defend
unalienable
rights
of
tennessee
people,
which
would
make
me
question
the
role
of
surveillance
by
government.
But
I've
been
told
first
that
these
are
all
independent
cameras
that
are
going
to
be
purchased
by
independent
cities
and
there
will
be
no
tie
of
them
together
to
one
database
and
then
I
was
told
later
no,
the
thp
is
going
to
run
this
program,
and
so
I'm
asking
some
clarification.
There
is
this
all
independent
cities
or
is
there
a
central
database?
F
Chairman
white,
I
want
to
understand
most
of
our
cities
always
have
these.
I
talked
to
a
small
community
that
my
district
backs
up
to
20.
They
already
have
22
of
these
cameras
within
their
their
community,
so
these
cameras
are
being
used
in
our
communities.
No,
this
this
is
for
our
state
law
enforcement,
we're
in
cooperation
with
tdot
they
would.
F
They
would
mount
these
for
for
their
purposes
of
criminal
and
investigations
the
where
they
use
this
for
the
ncic,
which
is
a
a
database
where
you
can
then,
if
there's
criminal
activity,
then
they
can
use
it
for
the
hits
on
that.
So
no,
it's
a
state
state
issue,
state
law
enforcement,
representative.
J
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
There
was
an
issue
where
this
is
not
going
to
be
used
for
traffic
or
civil
issues.
I'm
just
asking
you.
If
a
man
knows
his
wife
is
running
around
on
him
and
he
knows
the
tag
number
of
the
guy
she's
running
with,
and
he
knows
that
they
went
by
this.
This
camera
can
a
lawyer
in
a
civil
divorce
case
subpoena
if
it's
within
90
days,
subpoenaed
the
information.
That's
in
that
database.
F
D
One
other
question
to
me:
surveillance
is
a
seizure
under
the
fourth
amendment,
and
I
I
got.
I
got
several
problems
with
this
and
I
and
I
told
you
that,
before
specific
specific
seizures
under
the
fourth
amendment
have
to
have
an
individual
and
a
location
specifically
named,
and
that
doesn't
happen
here.
I
understand
the
goal
I
really
do,
especially
after
law
enforcement
career.
I
understand
the
goal.
I
have
some
real
problems
with
it.
Thanks.
C
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
and
thank
you
sponsor.
I.
I
appreciate
the
intent
of
the
legislation.
It's
always
my
concern
with
surveillance
that
this
step
legitimizes
the
next
step,
and
we've
already
heard
earlier.
Some
in
someone
else's
comments,
well
they're
already
being
used
in
the
troopers
cars
and
I'm
sure
at
that
time,
when
they
put
them
in
the
troopers
cars,
they
said
well
we're
just
using
them
in
the
cars
we're
not
going
to
put
them
on
the
interstate
in
this
very
bill.
C
It
rewrites
a
section
where
these
cameras
are
used
in
in
in
work
zones
for
traffic
enforcement,
and
I
know
your
your
bills,
just
just
it
didn't
change
that
part.
That
part
was
already
in
code,
but
when
they
did
that,
I'm
sure
they
said
well,
it's
just
work
zones.
We
won't
use
it
for
anything
else,
and
so
now
we're
allowing
more
cameras
to
be
placed
on
the
interstate
system
and
while
they're
not
being
used
for
traffic
enforcement
or
any
other.
You
know,
or
any
nefarious
means
right
now.
C
I
I
I
understand
the
intent
I
I
worry
about
its
ultimate
destination
and
so
that
that's
why
I'ma
know
it's
just.
I
know
it's
that
typical
slippery
slope
argument,
but
I
think
it's
a
legitimate
argument
and
a
legitimate
concern,
but
but
I
just
wanted
to
express
those-
and
I
appreciate
you
thank
you,
chairman.
F
Mike,
thank
you
very
much
and-
and
I
appreciate
all
those
comments-
I've
been
working
on
this
bill
for
the
past
years.
You
remember
we
had
this
this
before
worked
with
law
enforcement,
but
our
state
law
enforcement
said
this
is
a
tool
I
wish
we
wouldn't
use
the
word
surveillance.
I
don't
see
the
word
surveillance
in
these.
F
It's
just
technology
collecting
the
data
in
case
it's
needed,
and
sometimes
it
is
the
I'm
told
the
the
the
bombing
on
christmas
day.
Instead
of
looking
for
the
vin
number
and
all
that
debris,
they
could
have
gone
back
and
look
at
these
cameras
and
tracked
that
down
quicker
and
they
would
have
found
out.
Who
did
that
a
lot
quicker?
We've
had
89
shootings
from
the
interstate
down
in
west
tennessee
last
year,
39
already
this
year.
C
And
chairman,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
and
just
one
one,
quick
follow-up,
and
I
guess
that's
my
other
concern
with
it
a
lot
of
times.
That's
sort
of
the
excuse
that
we
use,
or
the
reason
that
we
use
to
put
more
of
these
measures
in
place,
is
it's
for
your
protection.
Don't
worry
about
it,
we're
just
going
to
use
it
for
your
protection
and
again
we
we
think
about
that.
C
B
B
K
J
F
Yes,
that
is
current
law,
and
when
we
rewrote
the
bill
for
this,
we
had
to
put
that
back
in
there.
This
doesn't
address
that's
already
current
law
and
I'm
glad
you
brought
that
up.
Currently,
the
tennessee
department
of
transportation
in
work
zones
already
has
the
ability,
if
there's
a
safety
issue
things
going
on,
they
can
use
these
cameras
already
in
work
zones
for
the
safety
of
those
working
on
our
roads.
F
D
F
D
F
Generally,
no
it's
the
current
owner
of
that
car.
As
you
say,
our
license
plates
are
public
and
if
the
the
state
law
enforcement
has
a
hit-
and
they
say
that
where
this-
if
this
license
plate
is
in
there,
then
of
course
they
go
back
to
our
traffic
safety,
where
all
that
information
is
on
who
owns
the
car
and
that's
how
they
start
their
investigation.
F
D
D
F
D
F
F
Chairman
white,
no,
this
is
specific.
If,
if
there
is
an
incident
where
there
is
something
has
happened,
a
child
has
been
kidnapped,
there
is
a
bombing
or
someone
has
been
shot
on
interstate
and
there
is
an
open
investor
at
that
point
in
time
trying
to
find
good
leads,
it
can
be
used
for
that,
and
only
for
that.
E
E
So
if
we're
creating
the
system
already
and
putting
it
in
place,
that
slope
just
got
a
little
bit
more
slippery
than
it,
then
this
is
already
making
you
know
for
that
next
step
and
the
next
step.
So
I
just
have
a
problem
with
you
know
and
representative
halsey.
You
know
brought
up,
you
know,
seizure,
illegal
search
and
seizure.
E
F
Thank
you
for
those
comments
and
by
the
way,
let
me
add
this
has
already
been
used
in
georgia,
alabama,
mississippi
kentucky's
in
the
process
of
installing
florida
virginia.
We
had
two
escaped
convicts
of
in
west
tennessee
and
we
didn't
find
them
until
they
were
able
to
get
down
into.
I
believe
it
was
alabama
and
georgia
before
they
started
picking
them
up
on
these
lprs.
They
called
them
down
there.
We
could
have
called
them
in
tennessee
if
we're
loud
to
you,
use
them
technology's
there.
G
Thank
you,
mr
speakers.
Sponsor
yale
chairman
white,
yes,
sir
chairman
white,
I
would
have
to
detail
the
comments
of
many
of
the
colleagues
on
the
floor
as
well
as
it
relates
to
needing
to
do
something
about
this,
for
this
epidemic
is
having
all
over
the
country.
It
is
a
problem,
the
shooting
not
only
the
shooting,
the
fast
cars
zooming
by
doing
100
miles
an
hour.
It
scares
the
hell
out
of
you
when
you're
driving.
G
F
F
G
I
I
F
Yes,
sir,
let
me
read
what
we
passed.
Let
me
recognize
representative
powell,
he
carried
house
bill
809
the
bill
that
we
passed
on
this
floor.
86-1
back
on
april,
8th
captured
plate
data
from
automated
license
plate
reader
systems
must
be
treated
as
confidential
and
shall
not
be
open
for
inspection
by
members
of
the
public,
as
used
in
this
subdivision
goes
on,
but
yes
answer.
Your
question
is,
you
are
correct.
I
We've
got
to
start
figuring
out
how
to
help
to
alleviate
the
onslaught
of
sex
trafficking,
and
we've
got
any
other
number
of
activities
terrorism
to
where
this
technology
can
help.
The
caution
is
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
give
oversight
and
that's
our
job,
to
continue
oversight
to
continue
to
fine-tuning
the
legislation.
I
I
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
to
the
sponsor.
Thank
you
for
this
bill.
It
was
vetted
quite
extensively
in
transportation,
sub
transportation,
full.
A
lot
of
the
same
questions.
We're
hearing
today
were
some
of
the
questions
that
were
answered,
and
I
don't
know
if
I
can
add
to
the
discussion
or
not,
but
it's
important
to
remember
that
these
cameras
are
already
in
use
in
tennessee,
there
are
40
thp
cars
that
have
these.
Now
there
are
several
towns
in
tennessee
that
already
have
the
stationary
cameras
on
poles
on
local
city
streets.
I
What
we're
doing
if
this
bill
passes,
is
expanding,
that
to
allow
them
to
be
on
polls
on
state
and
federal
highways
in
tennessee
to
enhance
the
criminal
investigation
and
the
silver
alert
amber
alert
systems
that
are
so
important
in
this
society.
Today,
you
gave
several
examples
of
how
other
states
have
helped
us
find
criminals
that
have
crossed
state
lines
who
committed
crimes
in
tennessee,
because
we
do
not
have
access
to
this.
I
These
stable
cameras,
chairman
whitson,
mentioned
that
we
gave
we're
given
a
demonstration
by
the
thp
of
how
these
cameras
work,
and
I
was
amazed
at
the
technology,
and
I
asked
the
trooper.
I
said:
let's
pretend
that
I
drove
by
and
the
camera
saw
my
license
plate
what
would
happen
and
he
said
nothing
unless
you're
on
the
ncic.
I
I
I
I
I
think
it's
a
great
tool
as
someone
who
likes
history
and
likes
to
read
about
history,
and
I
do
watch
the
history
channel.
Yes,
I'm
one
of
those
nerdy
guys,
but
it
was
interesting
to
learn
about
a
about
a
new
technology
that
came
into
being
around
1900,
or
so
it's
called
fingerprints
you're
familiar
with
fingerprints.
I
It's
interesting
that
some
of
the
same
comments
we're
hearing
today
with
the
same
comments
that
were
said
about
fingerprints.
It's
going
to
create
a
database,
it's
going
to
invade
our
privacy.
Well,
we
know
what
the
results
has
been
in
the
last
100
years
or
so
I
I
look
at
this
as
a
tool.
It
cannot
be
used
to
check
your
license
to
see
if
you
have
liability
insurance
on
your
vehicle,
it
cannot
be
used
to
write
citations
if
you're
speeding
it's
only
for
criminal
investigation.
H
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
no
for
whoever
just
said
that.
I'm
not
going
to
call
previous
question.
I
just
want
to
turn
to
the
language
of
the
actual
bill.
I
think
we
have
asked
some
really
good
questions
of
the
sponsor
today
and
I
wanted
to
point
out.
I
mean
these
are
the
guard
rails
that
prohibits
the
slippery
slope
from
occurring.
H
I
mean
these
cameras
are
out
there
all
over
the
place
right
now
and
the
sponsors
I
mean
this
bill
literally
says
you
may
only
put
up
only
as
the
chairman
said,
a
card
reader
type
camera
like
it's
not
going
to
be
a
surveillance
camera.
It
cannot
write
tickets
or
issue
tickets.
It
cannot
be
for
any
other
purpose.
So
right
now
it's
allowed
for
lots
of
different
purposes
and
there's
a
real
question
as
to
what
they
can
say.
Yes,
and
no
to
so
they're
saying
yes
to
a
lot
of
different
types
of
cameras.
H
Look
in
your
districts
talk
to
your
local
folks,
that's
happening
now.
This
bill
puts
guardrails
on
that
and
says
no.
We
are
not
comfortable
with
any
other
type
of
camera,
but
a
simple
license.
Plate
reader
that
can
have
a
bolo
or
or
anything
else
entered
into
it
and
it
triggers
on
the
information.
It's
gotten
it
doesn't
keep
anything
else.
It
doesn't
record
anything,
it's
not
taking
pictures
of
anybody.
This
is
the
way
to
actually
shackle
the
surveillance
state
out
there
and
make
sure
that
it
doesn't
come
to
tennessee.
F
J
J
J
J
B
J
J
J
B
E
J
E
Senate
amendment,
all
it
does
in
the
very
first
sentence
of
the
bill.
It
has
the
reporting
going
to
the
senate
education
committee
and
the
house
education
committee.
The
senate
has
withdrawn
that
they
don't
they
don't
want
to
be
notified.
So
the
house
education
will
be
the
only
one
notified
on
this
study.
I
J
J
B
J
J
Members,
real
quick,
they're
they're
we're
going
to
make
a
motion
for
for
next
week,
just
kind
of
give
you
an
update
since
we're
waiting
here.
So
it
it's
looking
like
we're
progressing
very
well.
Hopefully,
next
week,
sometime
midweek,
we
will
have
if
all
things
go
well
a
budget
on
the
floor
wednesday
thursday.
Hopefully
I
will
give
you
the
benefit
of
doubt.
We
don't.
We
might
not
be
here
friday
but,
as
you
know,
usually
as
you're
trying
to
pass
the
budget,
there
is
a
chance
that
we
are
here
friday.
J
So
I
give
you
just
notice
that
we
may
be
here
on
friday,
we'll
let
you
know
next
week,
so
you
can
be
prepared
all
week
we're
getting
ready
to
make
a
flow
motion
of
modified
flow
motions.
What
they're
going
over
to
help
us
next
week,
because
that's
the
normal
process
that
we'll
do
we'll
have
a
caucus
meeting.
I'm
sure
both
will
to
explain
it
to
members
on
what
that
means,
but
it
does
look
like
if
everything
goes
well.
We
are
progressing
to
be
out
by
the
first
week
of
may
and
that's
what
it
looks.
J
B
J
H
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
We
have
one
bill
that
passed
out
of
a
full
committee
before
or
after
the
deadline
to
be
able
to
make
it
onto
the
other
full
committee,
and
that
is
house
bill
880.
So
with
that,
mr
speaker,
I'll
move
that
house
bill
880
be
heard
in
the
criminal
justice
committee
next
week.
You've.
H
All
right
members,
it's
that
time
of
year
for
the
flow
mode.
This
is
a
modified
version
of
the
flow
motion,
so
the
end
is
certainly
near
for
session.
This
will
include
certain
bills
that
are
in
finance
that
are
moving
through
finance
at
the
time.
This
will
include
the
budget
bills.
That
is
all
it
will
include.
There
is
a
certain
representative
that
is
near
to
my
heart
from
davidson
county.
That
will
ask
me
this
in
a
moment,
but
that
is
all
it
includes.
Is
those
bills
that
we
are
suspending
the
rules.
For
with
that.
H
Mr
speaker,
I
move
that
the
portions
of
the
following
rules
be
suspended
for
house
bills,
750
1211,
679,
57,
1,
365,
39,
516,
1276,
599,
534,
854,
1150,
124,
322,
55,
341,
530,
540
hundred
thirty
hundred
eighty
one,
forty
fifty
five
one
thousand
four
hundred
ninety
seven,
forty
forty
two
two
hundred
and
two
one
thousand
five
hundred
forty
four
hundred
eighty
eight
one
hundred
fifty
one
thousand
one
hundred
fifty
four
one
thousand
one.
Fifty
two
one
thousand
one,
fifty
one
one
thousand
one
hundred
fifty
three
one
thousand
and
ten
one
thousand
four.
H
Thirty
seven
and
1204
rule
number
49.
The
48-hour
rule
said
all
bills
moved
from
calendar
rules
can
be
set
on
the
next
floor.
Calendar
rule
number
49,
the
25
bill
limit
rule
so
that
more
than
25
bills
may
be
placed
on
the
calendar
for
final
consideration
on
any
one
day.
Rule
number
59
notice
provision
so
that
all
bills
from
the
senate
with
messages
can
be
announced
and
or
automatically
placed
on
the
next
message.
H
Calendar
rule
number
67,
so
that
committee
and
subcommittee
meetings
can
be
held
at
times
other
than
those
specified
in
the
house
weekly
schedule,
with
less
than
72
hours
of
notice,
rule
number
71,
the
24-hour
rule
requiring
all
amendments
to
be
available,
be
available
to
members
24
hours
before
consideration
on
the
floor.
Rule
number
83,
part
1,
so
that
all
bills
reported
out
of
subcommittee
can
be
heard
on
the
next
full
committee
calendar
without
waiting
a
week.
H
Rule
number
83
part
1,
so
that
all
bills
reported
out
of
committee
can
be
heard
in
the
next
committee
or
subcommittee
without
waiting
a
week.
Rule
number
83
subpart
1,
so
that
items
in
comedian
subcommittee
can
be
placed
in
the
next
calendar.
Not
with
sending
the
wednesday
3
30
deadline
for
placing
bills
on
notice.
B
J
H
Thank
you,
madam
leader,
and
we
do
not
have
a
sweeper
in
the
house.
We
obviously
balance
the
budget
down
to
the
penny.
There
is
a
senate
sweeper
that
includes
bills
under
50
000.
The
bills
that
I
have
indicated
are
within
that
category
and
are
moving
through
the
budget
committee.
Our
budget
chairman
and
subcommittee
chairman
and
the
budget
committee
have
moved
some
of
those
bills
through.
H
That
is
not
an
indicator
in
any
way,
shape,
form
or
fashion
from
my
understanding
from
our
budget
team
behind
me
here
that
there
are
not
many
other
bills
that
may
very
well
move
through
the
budget
cycle
and
be
funded.
This
is
just
an
indicator
of
the
ones
that
are
already
moving
and
the
four
budget
bills.
J
Once
the
house
and
senate
come
to
an
agreement
on
the
budget,
it
will
take
approximately
24
hours
for
the
wording
or
for
the
language
to
be
approved
and
signed
off
on,
depending
on
what
day
that
is,
you
could
expect
24
hours
later
at
the
earliest.
Even
if
the
language
was
a
agreement
came
in
on
monday,
you
wouldn't
be
able
to
have
the
language
ready
until
tuesday,
which
would
push
it
to
wednesday,
so
at
the
earliest.
J
I
think
you
could
see
a
budget
next
week
would
probably
be
more
likely
wednesday,
but
that
doesn't
mean
it
could
be
on
thursday
or
friday,
but
as
always,
the
budget
will
lie
over
one
evening.
If
so,
if
it
goes
through
committee
on
wednesday,
it
will
lie
over
on
thursday.
If
it
goes
through
on
thursday,
it
could
lie
over
until
friday,
lear
camper.
B
B
B
H
No,
in
fact,
this
is
a
modified
version
of
the
flow
motion
that
is
significantly
more
limited
than
previous
flow
motion.
So
in
essence,
this
is
a
a
cut
down
version
from
the
regular
flow
motion
that
you
and
I
have
been
used
to
for
years.
That
is
a
pretty
broad
suspension
of
the
rules.
This
is
a
very,
very
limited
suspension
of
the
rules
for
these
specific
bills
and
only
those
eight
items
that
I
listed
that
deal
mainly
with
scheduling.
B
H
G
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
just
just
for
a
little
further
clarity
when
our
wonderful
leader
and
I'm
talking
about
the
democratic
leader
leader
camper
when
she
mentioned
our
asked
the
question
in
regards
to
amendments
being
prepared
and
we
got
the
response
from
the
clerk
is
that
24
hours
then
it
was
24
hours
correct.
No,
can
you
can
you
tell
us
again.
B
B
G
H
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
to
that
point
obviously
members.
This
has
been
a
months-long
process
on
this
budget
and,
while
the
member
is
accurate
on
the
timing
for
budget
amendments
feel
free
to
resist
filing
amendments,
unless
you
absolutely
feel
like
it's
just
necessary
to
the
future
of
the
great
state
of
tennessee,
the
fewer
amendments
have
filed,
you
know
the
the
better
and
quicker
we
were
moved
through
the
process
of
voting
on
in
passing,
hopefully
a
phenomenal
budget.
H
E
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
since
I've
been
in
this
body,
I
think
usually
when,
when
there's
been
a
flow
motion,
that
motion
has
been
provided
to
us
to
review
and
I
realize
the
leader-
and
this
is
specific
to
some
other
bills,
but
I
you
know,
I
don't
know
if
this
is
available
on
the
dashboard
or
for
us
to
look
at
a
review.
I
know
probably
not
because
this
is
a
motion
to
suspend
the
rules,
but
I
would
just
make
the
leader
a
request
where
we
do
go
through
the
full
flow
motion.
E
He's
making
that
available
here
now,
but
usually
that's
provided
to
us
a
little
bit
in
advance
and
then
we
go
about
voting
on.
I
just
hate
to
set
a
president
here
where
we're
adopting
something
and
haven't
had
full
a
chance
to
read
it,
so
I
would
just
make
that
request.
We
do
move
to
a
full
flow
motion.
We
have
plenty
of
time
to
review
it,
so
we
fully
understand
what
we're
doing
and
and
with
that
I
just
wanted
to
he's-
welcome
to
respond,
but
they
want.
H
Famous
speaker
and
absolutely
agree,
I
mean
if
it
were
a
full
flow
motion
suspending
more
and
I
handed
you
a
hard
copy,
and
I
know
that
it's
a
short
time,
hopefully
until
we
vote
on
this,
but
I
did
want
you
to
have
that
so
that
you
have
a
hard
copy
and
I've
got
that
at
my
desk
for
any
member.
That
would
like
to
look
at
it,
but
that's
the
other
reason
why
I
read
it.
It's
a
very
limited
flow
motion
and
I
wanted
to
read
out
loud
exactly
what
is
included
within
that.
H
So
the
members
would
hear
it
instead
of
just
making
a
motion
to
suspend
the
rules
to
actually
read
that
out
and
see
that
this
is
a
very
limited
version.
If
we
did
a
full
flow
motion,
I'm
looking
at
the
speaker-
and
I
think
he's
nodding
that
we
would
definitely
let
that
lay
over
and
nobody
would
have
a
chance
to
review
it.
G
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
once
again
members,
especially
the
shelby
county.
I
I
want
to
remind
you
of
the
wait
for
senator
roscoe
dixon
this
weekend,
friday,
serenity
funeral
home,
there's
going
to
be
a
wake,
as
well
as
a
celebration
of
life.
The
wake
starts
at
four
o'clock
until
six,
and
from
six
until
about
eight,
is
going
to
be
the
celebration
of
life,
those
of
you
that
can,
I
hope
you
will
those
of
you
that
can't
send
your
prayers
to
the
family.
Thank
you,
sir
chairman
cartier.
K
Thank
you,

Thank

Every
once,
while
you
come
across
a
gym
that
you
didn't
know,
was
there
our
very
own
commissioner
of
labor,
jeff
mccord,
I
came
across
a
book
that
he
wrote
it's
called
awkward
grace
if
you
want
to
read
a
well-written,
beautifully
compassionate
faith-based
book
called
awkward
grace
get
a
copy
of
that.
I
got
and
I
could
not
put
it
down.
It
is
a
beautiful
story
set
up
in
kingsport
east
tennessee,
where
commissioners
from
awkward
grace
get
a
copy
and
read
that
it
is
beautiful.
E
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Members.

o'clock
on

If

Thank
you.
G
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
thank
you
members,
mr
speaker
and
members.
I
just
wanted
to
publicly
thank
all
of
the
interns
from
the
office
of
minority
affairs.
If
you're
here
wave
your
hand,
y'all
have
done
a
wonderful
job.
I
know
it's
been
different,
but
thank
you
so
much
for
your
service
to
our
state.
A
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
wanted
to
mention
the
fact
that
sometimes
we
feel
like
that.
We
don't
get
to
voice
our
opinion
on
certain
legislation
that
comes
across
this
body,
and
I
know
that
it's
a
tough
call
and
we
don't
see
everybody
or
don't
know
who's
on
the
list,
but
many
times
our
costs,
our
constituents.
A
They
don't
have
any
other
means
of
of
knowing
how
we
feel
about
it
or
how
they
were
represented
them.
If
it
didn't
come
through
our
committee
and
I'm
not
holding
anyone
accountable
and
I'm
not
saying
that
anyone
does
it
on
purpose.
But
I
would
ask
that
we
would
be
considerable
toward
people
that
may
want
to
speak
on
certain
legislation
before
the
question
is
called
or
if
the
question
is
called.
A
A
But
I
pray
that
you
would
be
with
these
two
families,
david
byrd
and
mike
carter,
their
families,
their
need
their
their
personal
health
issues.
I
pray
that
you
would
just
help
them
and
touch
them,
because
we
know
that
if
we
call
upon
you
we're
calling
upon
the
one
that
is
able
not
only
to
hear
us
but
you're
able
to
repair
heal,
fix
every
wound
in
our
life.
If
it
be
your.

Thank
you
any
further
announcements,
members,
just
an
fyi,
the
the
motion
is
going
to
be
for
session
to
start
at
4,
00
p.m,
on
monday,
4
p.m,
and
so
we
will
be
moving
session
up
earlier.
Don't
look
at
the
calendar
before
you
assume
it's
at
9am
or
5pm,
because
we
are
changing
the
time
to
try
to
get
through
all
the
bills
that
are
on
the
calendar
and
have
appropriate
enough
time.
So
just
be
aware
of
that
with
that
next
order,
mr
clark.
