that
you
will
be

Thank

First,
I
want
to
thank
each
of
you
for
serving
in
your
capacity
and
supporting
the
many
executive
branches
of
the
tennessee.
G
Without
your
support,
none
of
these
branches
could
function
as
you
well
know,
and
I
was
fortunate
to
be
a
part
of
the
tennessee
highway
patrol
for
26
years
and
in
the
department
an
additional
seven
and
it
was
a
wonderful
career,
and
I
thank
each
of
you
that
have
served
in
your
capacity
and
supported
the
tennessee
highway
pro
in
the
department
over
the
years.
Glad
to
be
here.
F
H
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
would
like
to
wish
my
baby
girl,
allison
lamberth
a
happy
birthday
today.
Y'all,
please
put
your
hands
together
for
her.
C
A
Represent
calfi
thank
mr
chairman.
I've
got
a
great
friend
and
a
great
neighbor
right
up
here
in
the
balcony
chris,
dr
chris
whaley
he's
the
president
of
roanoke
state
community
college
and
under
his
leadership
they
branched
out
into
about
nine
counties,
and
they
came
up
with
the
middle
college
and
the
first
year.
This
fine
young
man
got
his
two-year
college
degree
a
week
before
he
graduated
high
school
and
at
age
20.
He
was
an
engineering
graduate
of
university
of
tennessee.
If
we'd
make
him
help,
help.
J
Thank
you
speaker.
I
want
to
recognize
the
911
board
of
directors
up
here
on
my
right
from
knox
county
brad
anderson,
who
I
served
and
as
well
as
another
representative
from
knox
county.
We
served
on
county
commission
with
him,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
brad
for
all.
You
do
for
knox,
county's
9-1-1,
as
well
as
for
the
state
and
then
also
I
wanted
to
recognize
knox
county's
leadership
class.
J
And
I
I
know
they're
going
to
tell
you
that
they
were
the
best
class
ever,
but
I
have
to
say
my
class
was
the
best
class
ever,
and
I
know
another
representative
in
here
down
toward
the
front
would
probably
say:
theirs
was
the
best
class.
So
I
just
say:
if
you're
from
knox,
county
and
you're
in
knox,
county's
leadership,
it
is
the
best
classes
ever.
So.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here.
J
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
want
to
wish
my
husband
mike
weaver,
who
is
at
home
in
smith,
county
more
than
likely
watching
all
of
us
live
and
in
full
color
from
the
screen
there
in
in
the
living
room
in
his
chair
honey.
I
wish
you
a
most
happy
happy
birthday
you're
the
best.
C
C
C
I
got
two
great
weekly
counties
here
with
us
tonight:
april:
wright,
jones,
register
of
deeds
and
marcy
floyd,
the
weekly
county
trustee
and
we're
also
representing
the
new
district
of
champions.
We've
got
four
girls
teams
going
to
be
playing
in
the
state
championship
this
week.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
chairman.

Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
The
I
want
to
thank
the
governor
first
of
all
for
declaring
this
week
the
right
to
work
week
in
our
state.
As
you
know,
this
fall
in
november
on
the
ballot
will
be
the
constitutional
amendment
for
our
citizens
to
vote
on.
That
will
enshrine
the
right
to
work
in
this
state.
That's
been
around
for
in
law,
at
least
for
about
75
years.
So
I
want
to
thank
him
for
that,
and
and
just
encourage
each
of
you
to
work
in
your
own
communities
to
promote
this.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
M
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
and
recognize
one
of
my
favorite
colleagues
and
favorite
people
in
general.
If
you
look
on
the
board,
you'll
notice
that
there's
a
name
missing
or
a
couple,
but
you'll
notice
that
one
name
is
missing
and
that's
representative
london
lamar
and
I
want
to
recognize
and
honor
her
for
becoming
our
new
senator
for
district
33..
Congratulations,
london.

This

nonprofit
organizations

provide
housing
and
shelter
from
adverse
weather
a
hold
harmless
from
suit
unless
servant,
while
serving
in
this
capacity
unless
it
arises
to
gross
negligence
or
willful
misconduct.
With
that,
mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.
A
A
A
N
N
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
What
this
bill
does
is
gives
an
individual
that
is
convicted
of
speeding,
after
paying
their
fines
one
shot
at
redemption
for
removing
some
points
from
their
speeding
record
after
going
to
a
department
of
safety,
approved
defensive
driving
course.
With
that,
mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.
C
A
You,
mr
speaker,
sponsor,
does
this:
if
there's
reckless
driving
involved
at
20
miles
an
hour
with
speed,
limited
more,
does
this
supply
rep,

Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
just
want
to
thank
the
civil
committee
on
the
first
bill
that
I
passed
also
for
all
of
the
help
they
helped
out
and
all
of
the
members.
Thank
you
all
for
voting
for
it.
Chairman
darren,
appreciate
you
appreciate
you
chairman,
gary.
A
E
M
F
A
F
Sponsor
yield
thank
and
sponsor,
and-
and
I
owe
you
an
apology
immediately
because
you
know
during
our
bill
review-
I
I
just
didn't
know
what
I've
been
told
at
that
time.
What
I
know
now,
but
anyway,
I've
got
got
a
question
where
it
comes
now.
These
these
are
going
to
be
tests
given
to
teachers.
Is
that
is
that
correct
test.
I
F
I
I
I
I
growth,
that
all
teachers
in
the
state
of
tennessee
use
right
now
will
still
stay
35
and
the
proficiency
part
will
just
be
bumped
to
25,
but
still
allowing
all
those
teachers
the
options
to
choose
what
they
want
for
their
proficiency
and
also,
if
you're,
a
level
four
or
five
teacher
in
the
bill.
It
says
you
can
discount
the
proficiency
totally
and
not
even
count
that.
F
Chairman
keisling,
thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Thank
you
sponsor
for
that.
I
at
this
time,
though
I
I
will
have
to
I
will
have
to
be
voting
down
on
it,
but
I
I
do
appreciate
your
work
and
and
your
and
your
dedication
on
this.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
representative.
L
I
I
The
only
difference
is,
we
are
going
to
start
the
weight
proficiency
of
the
students,
10
percent,
higher
and
observation
in
the
classroom,
10
percent,
less
the
growth
that
all
teachers
take
advantage
of
is
still
the
exact
same,
nothing,
changes
and
the
exemption
that
every
teacher
in
the
state
of
tennessee
has
when
they're
a
level
four
or
five
teacher,
that
exemption
for
proficiency
will
still
be
in
there.
So,
if
you're,
a
teacher,
that's
a
level
four
or
five
and
you
exercise
the
exemption
nothing's
going
to
change
for
you.
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
sponsor
I'm
curious
about
how
you
came
to
the
percentage
amount
that
you're
increasing
that's
based
on
the
achievement
data
you're
increasing
it
from
50
to
60..
How
did
you
come
to
that?
10
percent
figure.
O
I
Having
discussions
with
the
department
of
education
trying
to
seem
try
to
find
a
reasonable
change
that
would
start
to
signal
the
proficiency
move
in
tennessee
for
our
students
and
not
penalize
the
teachers
at
all
for
growth
that
they
use
to
show
growth
in
the
classroom,
but
then
also
start
to
lower
that
that
observation.
So
the
same
number
of
observations,
a
teacher
will
go
through
the
same
evaluation
that
teachers
will
go
through
at
the
local
level
through
their
principles.
I
That
and
other
members
other
organizations
that
have
come
forward
expressing
concerns.
O
And
then,
finally,
the
bill
deletes
several
provisions,
this
president
law,
that
allows
leas
to
decide
whether
or
not
to
use
that
student
growth
data
and,
upon
the
request
of
the
teacher
to
comprise
100
percent
of
that
teacher's
final
evaluation
score.
Why
do
we
want
to
remove
that
component
from
local
control.
I

Thank
you,
mr
speaker
house
bill
2054.
under
current
state
law.
It
talks
the
states
that
only
a
funeral
director
or
an
individual
acting
as
a
funeral
director
can
start
the
death
certificate
and
hospitals
and
medical
examiners
are
frequently
part
of
the
death
certificate
process
and
starting
that
this
ensures
that
hospitals,
medical
examiners
and
funeral
directors
are
all
part
of
the
process
and
has
been
reviewed
by
multiple
organizations
and
entities.
I
renew
my
motion.

Ramsey

E
E
C
C
Of
a
child
must
be
sentenced
to
death
life
in
prison
without
parole
or
imprisonment
for
life.
This
piece
of
legislation
removes
the
lesser
of
these
sentences.
It
would
remove
imprisonment
for
life.
That
also
would
require
that
a
person
who
tries
to
commit
these
crimes
and
commits
first
degree
murder
shall
be
either
sentenced
to
death
or
life
imprisonment
without
parole.
D
D
D
D
C
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
What
this
bills
does
is
makes
a
minor
correction
to
a
bill.
We
passed
a
couple
of
years
ago.
If
you
recall,
we
passed
a
bill
stating
that
if
a
person
knowingly
sells
a
landlocked
piece
of
property,
they
can't
come
back
and
ask
for
an
easement
later.
This
bill
is
slightly
different.
C
We
overlooked
one
matter
for
people
who
knowingly
landlocked
their
land
but
gave
themselves
an
easement
to
access
like
the
farm
this,
but
there
is
a
10
foot
that
lets
them
to
expand
it
to
15
foot
with
the
permission
of
a
judge,
so
they
can
run
utilities
to
the
property
and
that's
all
it
does.
Mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.
D
D
G
You,
mr
speaker,
house
criminal
justice
committee,
amendment
number
one
changes
the
offense
from
renting
or
offering
for
rent
a
body
of
water
used
for
swimming
that
is
owned
by
the
offender
to
renting

a
body
of

to
be
used
for
swimming
that
is
located
on
property,
owned
or
leased
by
the
offender,
or
is
otherwise
under
control
of
the
offender.
With
that,
I
move
to
adopt.

Bill

would
have
each

designate

liaison
to
collaborate
with
the
department
of
children's
services
to
serve
as
a
point
of

between
the

you,

2187
is
an
administration
bill
brought
to
us
by
the
bureau
of
workers
compensation
what
it
does.
It
makes
various
changes
to
the
workers,
compensation
law
it
changes.
Currently,
there
are
12
trial,
judges
and
three
appeals
board
judges
and
they
serve
different
terms.
Some
are
two
six
year
terms
and
some
are
up
to
three
six
year
terms
and
what
this
does
is.
It
creates
some
consistency,
but
making
them
all
three
six
year
terms
being
that
the
maximum
that
they
can
serve.

you,

No,
the
changes
are
what
I
said
it
it.
They
ultimately
could
go
to
the
supreme
court
in
the
end
anyways,
but
what
it
does,
instead
of
bypassing
that
they
are
required
to
go
through
the
workers.
Compensation
appeals
board
first,
which
makes
sense.
The
other
thing
is.
There
was
some
inconsistency
between
the
appeals
board
and
the
trial
judges
like
I
said,
some
were
eligible
for
up
to
two
six-year
terms.

the
list
of
first
responders
who
are
eligible
for
this
benefit.
This
bill
is
permissive
and
a
hundred
percent
of
the
increased
costs
will
be
covered
by
the
employer
when
they
elect
to
provide
this
benefit
to
their
emergency
communications
personnel.
J
D
D
D
D
R
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
All
this
legislation
is
doing
is
adding
insurance
producer
to
the
list
of
professional
services
available
for
cities
and
counties
to
use
by
adding
insurance
producer
to
the
list
of
professional
services.
It
allows
local
governments
to
retain
these
services
and
use
a
broker
to
find
workers,
compensation,
liability,
health
insurance,
income
in
the
commercial
market,
ultimately,
saving
the
locality,
money.
D
D
S
D
S
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
is
administration
bill.
This
legislation
increases
the
monetary
thresholds
of
major
maintenance
projects
and
lease
agreements.
This
legislation
would
raise
the
current
major
major
threshold
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
250
000,
which
is
approximately
what
the
threshold
was
if
it
had
been
adjusted
for
inflation
over
the
past
35
years.
S
It
also
would
raise
the
current
lease
threshold
from
150
000
to
250
000.
This
increase
brings
the
number
of
leases
needed
by
the
state
building
commission
pre-approval
back
to
approximately
what
it
was
10
years
ago.
With
that,
mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.
O
Yeah,
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
so
we're
increasing.
These
thresholds
looks
like
150
percent
and
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
regards.
So
what
does
something's
qualification
as
major
maintenance
require
on
their
part
is?
Are
we
limiting
public
transparency
or
knowledge.
S
No,
all
we're
really
doing
is
it's
kind
of
an
adjustment
for
inflation
from
35
years
ago.
It
was
a
hundred
thousand
that's
to
250
000,
but
they
still
go
through
the
same
form
still
follow
the
same
forms
for
you
know
if
it
was
a
major
maintenance
name
like
a
heating
and
air
or
for
a
large
building
or
a
state
building,
so
it
would
still
have
the
same
transparency
it
had
before
that
hasn't
changed.
President.
O
S
Okay,
once
you
exceed
the
250
000,
is
that
what
you're
asking
okay,
they
would
still
have
to
turn
powers?
They
would
have
to
go
through
the
state
building
commission
at
that
time
for
approval.
If
it
went
over
that
threshold,
that's
what
they're
currently
doing
with
when
it
goes
over
a
hundred
thousand.
It
would
just
raise
it
to
250.
O
S
Okay,
they
just
do
they
go
through
the
same
process
that
they're
doing
right
now
for
anything,
that's
under
a
hundred
thousand,
they
fill
out
the
same
form,
go
through
the
same
process.
All
we're
doing
is
just
increasing
that
to
250
000.
S
German
powers
yeah
it's
just
a
normal
procurement
process
that
they
go
through
right
now
for
anything
else.
That's
under
that
hundred
thousand
dollar
threshold.
D
D
D
C
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
is
an
administration
bill
brought
to
me
by
the
department
of
education.
What
it
is
is
it's
just
a
very
lengthy
cleanup
bill
with
that.
I
renew
my
motion.
G
G
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
you
doing
that
there
were
a
lot
of
people.
We
passed
legislation
just
a
couple
years
ago.
It's
very
important
to
a
lot
of
us
to
make
sure
we
get
that
data,
and
while
I
do
agree
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
do
not
have
burdensome
reporting
requirements,
I
think
that's
very
important
information
for
us
to
get
so.
Thank
you
for
making
sure
that
was
taken
out.
D
D
D
R
You,
mr
speaker,
this
legislation
is
being
brought
by
our
speaker,
speaker,
sexton.
This
legislation
before
you
today
is
an
effort
to
ensure
that
our
public
universities,
credible
diversity
efforts,
aren't
undermined
by
initiatives
that
seek
to
drive
tennesseans
further
apart
in
tennessee.
We
believe
that
prosperity
is
greatly
aided
by
progress
towards
unity.
We
reject
the
promotion
of
concepts
that
attempt
to
cast
a
shadow
on
groups
of
people
due
to
factors
not
in
their
control.
R
R
Additionally,
the
bill
requires
a
survey
of
students
and
employees
to
assess
each
campuses
climate
relatively
relative
to
the
ability
to
speak
freely,
regardless
of
political
affiliation.
This
is
to
provide
the
legislature
with
a
baseline
of
the
atmosphere
in
our
public
universities
to
ensure
individuals
feel
free
to
have
their
own
opinion.
R
C
N
K
K
There's
a
lot
of
divisive
things
that
have
happened
in
american
history
and
in
world
history.
You
know
whether
it's
the
jim
crow
laws,
or
maybe
you
know,
teaching
children.
I
think
this
weekend
was
the
anniversary
of
the
march
across
the
edmund
pettus
bridge,
and
some
bad
things
happened
as
people
marched
across
that
bridge.
K
You
know
a
lot
of
bad
things
happened.
A
lot
of
a
lot
of
laws
were
passed
in
this
chamber
and
many
other
chambers
across
this
nation
in
in
the
40s
and
50s
that
you
know
we
ought
to
be
ashamed
of.
So
my
question
to
you
is:
if
those
things
get
taught
in
a
classroom
is
that,
okay,
with
this
bill,
you
know
to
teach
people
that
hey
you
know,
beating
people
with
with
sticks
and
and
and
and
sticking
german
shepherds
on
people,
because
they
want
to
have
equal
rights.
R
Leader
again,
representative,
this
bill
does
not
stifle
any
of
that
free
exchange
of
ideas
and
debate
and
discussion
in
the
classroom,
and
this
bill,
as
I
just
defined,
only
goes
at
the
divisive
concepts
that
I
just
described.
That's
it.
K
M
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
to
the
sponsor
tennessee
state
university
is
the
state's
only
public
hbcu.
M
D
M
I
just
want
to
be
clear
that,
as
they
talk
about
this,
if
it's
required
and
the
survey
is
done,
if
the
student
says
they
don't
want
to
do
the
paper,
the
university
will
not
be
in
violation
of
this
law.
P
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
guess
my
question
goes
to.
How
do
we
legislate
feelings?
I
think
one
of
the
big
pieces
in
here
that
I
have
concern
about
is
that
feelings
part.
I
remember
in
my
philosophy,
class
in
college
feeling,
incredibly
uncomfortable
and
even
some
anguish
at
some
of
the
topics
we
were
discussing
related
to
women
related
to
race,
but
we
were
doing
it
in
order
to
understand
the
different
types
of
philosophies
and
it
ended
up
being
one
of
my
favorite
courses.
P
P
Johnson
and
then
once
reported
what
what
can
happen
with
the
professor
or
ta
or
staff
member.
E
P
You
don't
see
any
problems
with
someone
who
maybe
particularly
doesn't
like
their
professor
or
doesn't
like
the
grade
that
they're
getting
in
the
classroom,
saying
that
they
felt
the
discomfort
or
any
of
those
things.
I
just
think
legislating
feelings
is,
is
a
a
scary
place
to
go.
C
R
P
Not
teaching
the
concepts
but
in
teaching
the
different
types
of
philosophy.
Discussions
came
up
with
both
race
and
sex.
In
those
conversations
in
order
to
take
like
a
particular
type
of
philosophy
like
utilitarianism
and
in
order
to
demonstrate
how
that
how
those
folks
think
we
were
using
those
kinds
of
discussion
and
it
really
put
a
pinpoint
and
helped
you
understand
that
topic,
but
but
it
did
make
me
uncomfortable,
but
it
also
helped
me
to
understand
the
issue
at
hand,
and
so
I
can
see
that
being
abused.
Q
You
very
much,
mr
speaker,
mr
representative,
give
me
the
courtesy
of
just
giving
me
a
little
brief
example
of
a
divisive
concept.
I'm
not
up
on
this,
as
maybe
some
other
people
are
because
it's
not
been
presented
as
a
problem,
so
give
me
a
small
example
of
of
a
devices
divisive
concept
that
they're
taught
in
our
at
our
collegiate
level.
Later.
R
R
Leader
again,
declare
that
one
race
or
sex
is
inherently
superior
or
inferior
to
another
declare
that
race
or
sex
is
a
determining
factor
in
an
individual's
moral
character,
impose
guilt
and
anguish
based
on
an
individual's
race
or
sex,
declare
that
the
united
states
is
fundamentally
racist
or
sexist.
That's
four.
Q
Unfortunately,
for
me,
I'm
not
in
undergrad,
I've
never
heard
that
being
taught
okay
from
the
way
articulated
I'd
have
some
concerns
about
it,
but
I've
never
heard
that
being
taught.
My
concern
is
that
we
teach
the
truth
at
all
times,
regardless
in
in
this,
in
this
state
or
in
this
country.
We
just
have
to
deal
with
the
truth
and
the
truth
is
ugly,
sometimes
even
our
own
families.
The
truth
is
ugly.
It
can
be
ugly,
but
we're
better
for
it.
C
Q
The
fact
that
we're
not
treading
on
the
first
amendment
is
something
that
we
certainly
don't
want
to
do.
However,
in
a
world
filled
with
erroneous
information,
there's
a
lot
of
bad
information
out
today.
We
know
that
internet
there's
a
ton
of
it
out
and
you
don't
know
what's
true
on
a
lot
of
it,
and
this
really.
Q
I
want
to
emphasize
that
we
tell
the
truth
at
all
times,
and
one
of
the
other
representatives
asked
about
whether
or
not
if
it's
not
taught
properly
who's
going
to
determine,
what's
acceptable,
who
who's
the
gatekeeper
on
on
this
stop?
Who.
R
The
I'm
trying
to
find
it
in
the.
R
You
have
10
days,
as
I
was
mentioned
earlier,
to
report
this,
and
they
go
through
okay,
a
public
institution
of
higher
education
shall
investigate
as
students
or
an
employee's
complaint
that
a
violation
of
this
section
has
occurred.
Q
L
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
I
I
don't.
I
really
don't
get
up
too
much,
but
I
do
need
to
just
understand
this
because,
first
and
foremost,
we
know
we
can't
hide
history,
don't
make
a
difference,
how
we
try,
we
can't
hide
it
because
whoever
was
involved
in
is
going
to
talk
about
it.
But
what
I
need
to
understand
is:
is
the
legislation
saying
that
an
institution
can't
teach
racism
or
exactly
what?
L
What
is
it
saying
it?
You
can't
teach
it
or
people
can't
complain.
Can
you,
mr
sponsor,
can
you
answer
that
here.
D
R
Again,
the
divisive
concepts
declare
that
one
race
or
sex
is
inherently
superior
or
inferior
to
another
number.
Two
declare
that
race
or
sex
is
a
determining
factor
in
an
individual's
moral
character,
impose
guilt
and
anguish
based
on
an
individual's
race
or
sex.
Declare
that
the
united
states
is
fundamentally
racist
or
sexist
representative.
L
L
L
I'm
just
a
little
bit
confused.
I
guess
in
terms
of
of
what
is
the
intent
here,
because
I've
been
around
long
enough
to
know
that
there's
races
everywhere
and
probably
this
legislation,
ain't
gonna
change
that
that's
a
heart
matter,
but
thank
you
for
your
explanation.
Thank
you,
representative.
Clement.
O
O
Thank
you.
I
I
understand
that,
but
this
specific
provision
specifically
says
a
student
shall
not
be
penalized
or
reverse
any
adverse
treatment
due
to
the
student's
refusal
to
believe
or
otherwise
assent,
meaning
expressive
agreement
with
one
or
more
divisive
concepts
and
so
you're
not
forcing
them
you're,
just
teaching
them
that
racism
exists
and
that
some
people
in
this
world
believe
that
one
race
or
another
is
superior
to
another.
And
if
you
ask
a
student
on
an
exam,
does
racism
exist
in
this
world
or
this
country,
and
they
say
no,
that's
wrong.
R
There
again
well,
I
believe
that
would
fall
under
educational
contacts.
Wouldn't
it.
O
D
D
M
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
remembers
what
this
does.
This
codifies
the
tennessee
rules
that
still
proceeded
to
something
we
do
every
year
and
helps
our
courts
operate.
So
I
renew
my
motion.
D
D
M
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
move
adoption
of
house
resolution
134.
M
D
E
D
M
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
I'll,
be
passing
the
senate
bill
24-32
and
third
and
final
consideration.
Chair.
M
Thank
you,
speaker,
members.
What
this
bill
does.
This
is
a
reporting
bill.
This
is
brought
to
me
by
administration
through
the
department
of
revenue,
and
what
this
does
is
deletes
a
requirement
that
manufacturers
of
alcohol
send
in
monthly
invoices
of
what
they've
sold
to
the
retailers
to
the
department
of
revenue
revenue
said:
hey
look.
We
don't
need
this.
If
we,
if
we
need
it,
we
can
get
it
electronically.
So
that's
what
this
does
and
renew
my
motion
term.
D
D
D
J
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
renew
my
motion.
D
D
H
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
members.
It
is
that
time
of
year
when
there
are
several
bills
that
did
not
make
the
calendar
for
the
committee
that
they
need
to
be
in
this
week,
because
it
is
last
calendar
for
many
of
our
subcommittees
this
next.
Several
amendments
are
excuse
me,
announcements
here
and
motions.
We
have
I've
conferred
with
minority
leader
on
it,
and
that's
literally
what
these
do
with
that.
Mr
speaker,
I
move
that
house
bill
2774,
be
heard
in
the
k-12
subcommittee
this
week.
H
H
H
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
members.
This
next
motion
deals
with
delayed
bills.
I
think
there'll
be
an
announcement
a
little
bit
on
when
that
committee
is
going
to
be
meeting.
This
motion
does
not
predispose
whether
or
not
these
bills
come
out
of
the
late
bills.
It
just
indicates
what
will
happen
if
they
do
with
that.
Mr
speaker,
I
remove
that
sjr960
and
sjr967.
H
D
D
H
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
