Thank
you,
mr

I'd
like
to
introduce
a
good
friend
of
mine
from
monroe
county,
dr
ted
waters.
We
all
call
him
teddy

ba

theology
masters
and
ministry
doctor

biblical
apologetics.
He
has

has
been
in
law
enforcement
for
the
past
22
years.
He

spent
20
years
as
a
chaplain
at
the
county,
sheriff's
office,
sweetwater
police
department
and
the
tennessee
state

association
for
18
years.
He
was
a
volunteer
firefighter
at
the
present.
B
He
is
a
school
resource
officer
of
sweetwater
police
department.
He
is
the

at
first
free
will
baptist

today
and
they
have
two
children
and
two
grandchildren.
C
Five
things
in
this
prayer
that
we
need
to
model
our
prayers
behind.
First
of
all,
we
need
to
reverence
god.
Secondly,
we
need
to
recognize
his
sovereignty.
Thirdly,
we
need
to
see
that
he
is
the
sustainer
of
life.
Fourthly,
we
need
to
learn
to
forgive
one
another
as
he
forgives
us
and
then
the
last
thing.
We
need
to
seek
his
direction
for
our
steps.
If
you
would
bow
with
me
in
prayer
father,
we
first
of
all
want
to
hallow
your
name.
C
We
come
from
different
walks
of
life.
There
are
people
here
from
various
other
religious
beliefs,
and
we
respect
that
but
father
today,
as
we
pray
from
the
christian
perspective,
we
acknowledge
you
as
the
sovereign
of
this
universe,
creator
of
all
that's
here
and
all
that
exists
and
father
before
we
begin
to
ask
anything.

D
Resolution

I
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Okay,
imagine
that
you
toil
at
your
job
in
relative
obscurity,
except
for
the
fact
that
whenever
you
do
your
job,
you
have
literally
millions
of
people
watching
you
do
your
job
and
they
will
probably
only
know
your
name.
If
you
mess
up
my
good
friend,
morgan
cox
in
12
years,
has
not
messed
up.
I
He
has
it's
been
quite
a
run
for
him.
You
know
it's
funny.
The
biggest
notoriety
he's
received
was
the
year
that
the
ravens
won
the
super
bowl.
Then
the
lights
went
out
in
the
dome
and
when
they
came
back
on
him
and
ray
lewis
were
were
were
playing
catch
together
and
they
were
covering
it
on
tv
we
were
so
excited,
it's
like
there's
morgan
and
he
doesn't
have
his
helmet
on,
and
we
were
very
pleased
to
for
his
success.
I
His
dad
I
served
with
on
the
collierville
school
board,
he's
been
my
banker
for
40
years,
his
family.
His
grandfather
was
an
early
mentor
of
mine,
served
with
distinction
as
the
mayor
of
collierville
for
over
three
decades.
His
his
wife
is
lauren
is
not
here
today.
He's
got
a
house
full
of
young
kids,
but
his
mother-in-law,
and
I
were
friends
back
during
memphis
state
days,
so
he
is
someone
who
is
well
known
in
our
dis
in
our
district
and
morgan.
I
J

O
M
Mr
speaker,
members,
please
join
me
in
introducing
brad
bennett,
superintendent
of
chickamauga
chattanooga
national
military
park,
the
nation's
first
and
oldest
national
military
park,
8
000
acres
dedicated
to
those
who
fought
in
the
civil
war
created
by
veterans
of
both
sides
together
before
gettysburg,
there
was
chickamauga
chattanooga
national
military
park.
Thank
you,
sir.
K
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
I'd
like
to
make
an
announcement
please,
along
with
representative
farmer
here.
I
wish
we
would
all
in
a
moment
have
a
word
of
silence.
You
know
it
says
history
repeats
itself,
but
in
2016
we
had
a
bad
fire
up
there.
As
of
right
now,
in
sevier
county,
we
have
over
3
700
acres
in
the
hatcher
mountain
area
on
fire.
That
does
not
include
the
fires
that
we
have
going
toward
gatlinburg
and
seymour.
K
We
only
have
about
five
percent
containment.
We
have
five
fire
apparatuses
that
were
damaged
over
a
hundred
plus
structures.
We
had
one
fireman
that
was
trapped.
He
was
evacuated
with
no
injuries.
We've
had
one
injury
up
there
and
it
looks
like
if
we
cannot
get
this
stop.
That
just
is
going
we'll,
go
plumb
to
the
blunt
county
line,
and
we
hope
that
doesn't
happen.
But,
mr
speaker,
if
we
could
just
have
just
a
moment
of
silence
for
all
the
200
plus
people
that
are
working
there
right
now,.
I
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
I
have
an
announcement
that
I
think
is
very
important
for
tennessee
and
for
you
from
the
mountains
this
weekend
from
the
mountains
to
the
plateau,
to
the
plains
of
tennessee
you're,
going
to
find
people
getting
in
the
woods
to
hunt
turkey.
One
of
my
good
friends
is
a
preacher
of
an
appalachians
and
he
wrote
a
poem
about
this
turkey
hunting
and
I
feel
obliged
to
read
it
to
y'all.
I
Are
you
ready
for
this
twas
the
night
before
turkey
season
and
all
through
the
state
alarm
clocks
were
set
in
hopes?
The
hunters
wouldn't
be
late.
Camo
clothing,
all
laid
out
each
garment
was
inspected
with
care.
Concealment
is
the
task.
If
a
gobbler
would
be
lured
into
a
hunter's
lair,
shotguns
were
cleaned
and
each
one
was
patterned.
Nothing
is
left
a
chance.
The
first
shot
is
what
matters
all
the
favorite
calls
were
packed:
the
boxes,
the
wing
boxes,
the
pots
they
played.
I
The
calls
in
their
sleep,
nervously,
resting
with
their
stomachs
and
knots
and
dreams,
were
grandpa's
now
gone
and
their
hopes
was
their
boy's
first
strutter
each
had
the
secret
tactics
of
which
they
dare
not
utter.
Only
a
few
more
minutes
and
the
clocks
will
ring
coffee
now
poured
and
off
in
the
truck
off
to
hunt
the
best
day
of
spring
happy
turkey

and
that
is
from
my
friend

lady,
good
attitude,
sweetest
of
spirits
and
just
an
all-around
good
person.
I
just
want
to
congratulate
her.
K
And
thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
would
like
to
piggyback
on
representative
carr
and
chairman
farmer's
announcement
about
the
fire
we
have
in
blount
county,
a
volunteer
group
called
busar
back
country
search
and
rescue
that
is
integral
to
the
success
of
fighting
that
fire.
We
had
an
hjr
last
week
for
them
987.
K
It's
a
regional
group,
that
of
trainees,
veterans,
service
members,
firefighters,
aviation
specialists,
tracking
and
medical
specialists,
and
they
train
in
blount
county
to
serve
the
public
in
the
great
smoky
mountains
national
park
in
east
tennessee
region.
So
I
want
to
say,
recognize
them
and
say
thank
you
to
busar.
O
I
I
I
watched
laverne
police,
rendering
aid.
I
seen
the
tdot
help
truck
on
the
way
I've
seen
the
emergency
response
vehicles
on
the
way
and
just
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
our
thp
officers.
When
I
first
got
elected,
I
watched
a
trooper
changing
a
flat
tire
on
the
side
of
the
road
of
a
senior
citizen
and
it
was
trooper
brian
carmooch
in
the
pouring
rain.
So
let's
just
give
a
round
of
applause
for
emergency
response
in
our
thp
and
our
laverne.
Please
thank
you.
So
much.

R
R
Thank
you,
mr

Members.
As
you
may
recall,
we
passed
a
bill
last
year
that
required
boys
to
play
boys
and
girls
to
play
girls
in
k
through
12.,
and
this
bill
is
putting
teeth
into
it.
What
it
does
is
allow
the
commissioner
of
education
after
rules
are
promulgated
by
the
state
board
to
withhold
fund
to
any
lea
that
does
not
comply
with
that.
With
that
explanation,
I
stand
ready
to
answer
questions
chairman.
A
A
R
P
R
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
simply
put
this
bill
rakes
into
one
place
in
the
code.
The
fact
that
subunits
of
state
government,
which
include
counties,
cities
and
a
number
of
others,
are
bound
to
follow
state
law.
It
also
repeats
a
portion
of
the
code
that
says
race,
sex,
color,
ethnicity
or
national
origin
shall
not
be
used
to
discriminate
either
for
or
against.
R
Furthermore,
this
does
not
preempt
any
state
law
in
existence
as
of
the
effective
date
of
this
act
that
provides
for
preference
or
individual
groups
of
individual
or
permanent,
individual
or
groups
of
individuals
with
respect
to
public
contract
or
procurement
public
contracts,
it
adds
a
cause
of
action
for
a
violation
for
the
individual.
With
that
explanation,
I
understand
right
answer,
questions
and
renew
my
motion.
H
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
again.
Does
the
language
that
I
just
read
to
you,
which
mentioned
public
contract
and
how
do
we
define
public
contracting
and
my
question?
Does
public
contracting
covers,
let's
say,
for
example,
the
department
of
transportation
department
of
education,
for
example?
If
there
are
any
contracts
that
are
bidded,
would
that
include
all
of
those
departments?
Representative.
R
H
H
R
R
H
S
A
S
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
so
I
I'm
going
to
ask
this
a
different
way.
Does
this
bill
change
state
law
that
now
forces
takes
away
local
control
over
these
aspects,
and
now
they
have
to
be
there
is?
Is
there
going
to
be
a
change
I'll
ask
it
this
way?
Would
there
be
a
change
to
the
way
the
local
government
entities
operate
as
a
result
of
this
bill.
R
R
I
would
prefer
not
to
answer
that
question
with
direct
names,
but
I
will
point
out
that
in
this
very
chamber,
long
before
you
were
in
it,
sir.
We
had
a
case
where
a
county
tried
to
override
state
law,
and
this
is
making
sure
by
putting
everything
in
one
place,
that
we
have
clarity,
that
no
subunit
of
state
government
or
any
entity
that
is
empowered
by
our
state,
can
discriminate
on
the
basis
of
race,
sex,
color,
ethnicity
or
national
origin.
D
B
P
We're
only
taught
this
is
only
limited
to
the
vehicle
and
or
it's
it's
trailer
that
that
could
be
attached.
This
is
this.
Does
not
this
does
not
include
guns
or
any
anything
else,
it's
just
a
vehicle
and
a
trailer.
If
it's
attached
with
that.
Mr
speaker,
I
will
renew
my
motion
and
entertain
any
questions.
O
P
We
don't
have
any
problem
with
the
you
know,
with
personal
property,
the
ammo
and
and
the
guns,
and
all
that
it's
just
to
allow
the
the
persons
that
could
be
arrested
or
convicted
to
at
least
have
a
way
back
to
the
house.
I
mean
you
know,
that's
just
the
way
it
works.
You
know
that's
the
way
they
we
we
wanted
to
do
it.
So
you
know
representative,.
O
A
A
I
T
T
Last
year
I
worked
with
the
road
builders
and
this
bill
will
modernize
and
update
the
blasting
standards
for
eliminating
outdated
blast
vibration,
compliance
options,
restructure
clarifying
blast
notification
requirements
and
providing
administrative
support
for
market
industry
changes.
In
regard
to
residential
blasting,
which
I
had
a
lot
of
it
last
year.
T
N
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
representative.
Thank
you
so
much
for
bringing
this
to
the
body.
Many
folks
in
this
body,
on
both
sides
of
the
aisles
have
worked
very
hard
on
this
issue,
as
our
constituents
call
and
kind
of
like
a
thorn
in
the
side,
and
we
and
it
was
very
difficult
to
negotiate
this
legislation.
N
I
applaud
you
for
hanging
in
there
and
hopefully
we
can
cause
more
awareness
on
constituents
who
have
their
homes,
which
are
their
largest
asset
and
the
nuisance
of
what
goes
on
close
to
their
homes,
and
I
know
some
of
those
quarries
have
been
there
longer
than
the
homes
and
it
was
it's
kind
of
it's
just
kind
of
a
bittersweet
thing,
but
I
want
to
thank
you
for
bringing
it,
and
hopefully
this
does
move
the
needle
to
where
we
can
further
make
it
accommodable
for
good
neighbors.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
sponsor.
Thank
you
so
much
for
bringing
this.
I
have
complaints
and
constituent
contacts
from
one
end
of
my
district
to
the
other,
with
all
the
construction
and
all
the
blasting
that
goes
on
in
nashville
and
surrounding
areas.
This
has
become
a
hot
topic
and
I
appreciate
you
moving
moving
the
ball
toward
the
goal
lines.
Thank
you
so
much.
T
A
D
A
A
A
T
You,
mr
speaker,
members
house,
bill
2030.
Well,
I
guess
senate
bill
2176
would
remove
the
provisioning
code
known
as
no
pass
no
drive
currently
in
order
for
a
miner
to
receive
a
driver's
license,
a
student
must
show
satisfactory
grades,
and
even
if
they
show
satisfactory
grades,
the
school
can
still
deny
access
to
a
driver's
license.
T
Many
students
are
struggling
in
a
classroom
and
they
face
hardship
in
their
personal
lives.
Things
that
we
don't
know
about
their
ability
to
drive
or
inability
to
drive
only
is
more
obstacles
to
their
path
to
success.
They
may
need
to
go
to
to
the
doctor's
office
or
they
can't
get
a
job
without
a
driver's
license
at
that
age,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
the
parents
should
decide
whether
or
not
they
have
a
driver's
license
and
not
the
school,
and
so
I
will
say
that
truancy
is
still
in
here.
T
O
A
A
Q
Q
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
bill
simply
requires
that
the
state
treasurer
give
written
approval
to
any
tennessee
local
government
governmental
entity
before
they
enter
into
any
agreements
to
pay
compensate
award
or
remit
funds
in
the
form
of
cryptocurrency,
blockchain,
non-fungible
tokens
or
virtual
currency.
This
would
expire
on
june
30th
2025,
and
this
is
simply
an
effort.
Cryptocurrency
is
incredibly
volatile,
as
we
all
know.
So.
Q
J
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
I
appreciate
the
sponsor
talking
to
me
about
this
bill
beforehand.
I
have
reservations
about
it.
I
think
that
this
is
a
step
back
for
us
as
a
state
for
a
lot
of
these
different
businesses
that
are
looking
at
innovation.
But
my
question,
for
you
specifically,
is:
are
there
any
sort
of
guidelines
or
parameters
for
how
the
treasurer
is
going
to
judge
and
decide
upon
what
he
approves
and
what
he
doesn't
approve
and
are
those
going
to
be
made
public.
J
I
appreciate
that
well,
hopefully,
we
can
get
some
clarity
from
the
treasurer
and
just
you
know
he
can.
He
can
let
us
know
how
he's
going
to
go
about
deciding
what
he
approves
or
disapproves,
because
I
know
there
are
governments.
There's
a
city
of
jackson,
tennessee
is
is
looking
to
pay
people
in
bitcoin,
which
people
may
or
may
not
be
against,
but
I
think
his
whole
intent
there
is
to
try
to
lure
young
people
to
the
to
the
the
city
and
the
state.
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
I
really
appreciate
you
bringing
this.
I
think
this
legislation
does
not
at
all
prevent
employees
of
local
governments
from
converting
their
own
currency
into
anything
they
want
to
as
they
can
do
today,
but
we
also
have
to
remember
that
each
one
of
these
entities
is
a
subdivision
of
the
state
and
exist
at
the
will
of
this
legislature
for
the
protection
of
the
citizens
and
that's
our
first
and
foremost,
responsibility
to
protect
their
freedoms
and
liberties,
and
I
appreciate
you
bringing
this.
Thank
you.
A
A
D
L
A
L
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Basically
house
bill
2514
was
brought
to
me
by
my
local
city,
bristol
tennessee,
and
they
passed
a
bill
similar
to
this
on
the
virginia
side
of
the
street,
and
so
we
need
to
pass
this
for
the
tennessee
side.
So
we
can
be
all
working
together,
but
basically
this
would
require
them
to
go
for
a
festival
permit
for
any
festivals
that
we
have.
L
A
A
B
A
A
L
A

A

A

A
A
A
M
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Under
current
law,
a
child
may
be
placed
in
a
drop-in
child
care
center
for
a
maximum
of
seven
hours
per
day
and
14
hours
during
regular
weekday
business
hours
as
current
law
does
not
accommodate
an
average
workday.
This
bill
will
simply
increase
the
maximum
daily
hours
to
nine
and
maximum
week
weekday
business
hours
to
18..
With
that
explanation,
I
renew
my
motion.
J
A
J
J
M
Why
do
we
have
these
these
maximum
hours
for
drop-in
day
care?
German?
Terry.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Thank
you.
It's
a
great
question.
There
are
different.
My
understanding
is.
There
are
different
levels
of
daycares
that
are
out
there
and,
as
you
go
up
the
different
levels,
they
have
different
rules
and
regulations.
So
there
may
be
like
a
casual
care
center
that
only
has
like
at
your
church,
or
something
only
has
two.
This
is
a
drop-in
center.
There's
other
levels
beyond
that.
So
that's.
I
think
it's
based
off
of
that.
M
M
M
M
A
A
H
Mr
speaker
and
I
know
I'm
out
of
order,
but
I'm
sure
y'all
are
used
to
that.
I
just
want
to
recognize
and
welcome
mr
mark
russell.
He
is
the
executive
editor
of
our
newspaper
in
memphis
and
shelby
county,
the
commercial
appeal.
He
is
right
here
on
the
floor
behind
us
y'all
please
make
them
feel
welcome.
D
A
R
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker
and
chairman
ray.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
working
with
me.
I
knew
I
had
some
questions
last
week
we
have
spoken
about
this
legislation
and,
and
those
questions
have
been
answered,
and
I
appreciate
the
legislation
I'm
going
to
support
it.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
cooperation
and
for
your
willingness
to
work
with
me
to
further
my.
A
A
N
N
You,
mr
speaker,
and
this
bill
was
brought
to
me
by
these
young
ladies
and
the
dixon
county
leadership
they're
very
concerned
about
the
safety
of
our
children,
and
they
brought
this
to
me
so
I'm
very
proud
to
introduce
it
for
them.
It
expands
from
from
teachers
to
all
employees
working
directly
with
students
the
requirement
to
complete
the
child
abuse
training
program
during
annual
in-service
training,
and
with
that
I
renew
my
motion.
A

I
F
A
A
D
A
Chairman
halsey
moves
to
the
seat
of
the
request
of

senate
