Well,
the
person
that
replaced
her
stefan
maupin,
as
many
of
you
know,
in
agriculture
who
lobbies
for
farmers
and
agriculture
across
the
state
of
tennessee,
he
is
now
retiring
too.
He's
up
here
to
my
left
staff.
Stefan's

Members,
as
you
know,
he
has
been
a
true
champion
of
agriculture
across
the
great
state
of
tennessee
to
put

a

where

lead

There's

I'll
tell
you
where
we
are
in
the
posture
of
this
and
we're
going
to
move
to
concur
in
the
senate
amendment
in
a
few
moments,
but
dr
terry
chairman,
dr
cherry
and
myself,
we've
been
working
on
some
legislation
that
deals
with
photographic
evidence
of
minors
and
those
who
have
been
in
fatal
accidents
and
what
we're
doing
with
the
original
bill
was
saying.
You
cannot
make
public
photographic
evidence
of

who

Thank

I

This

did
for

swore

allowed
for
them
to
pull
out
their
elections
after
the
deadline,
and
we
open
it
back
up
for
folks
who
come
in

What

Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Members.
There
were
a
few
changes,
this
piece
of
legislation
over
the
senate,
but
it
is
substantially
the
same.
This
is
a
piece
of
legislation
that
established
especially
aggravated
rape,
especially
aggravated
rape
of
a
child
and
grave
torture.
The
capital
sentence
for
the
grave
torture
is
still
intact.

A
A
E
A
A
A
C
A
I
I
Chairman
white,
thank
you
members.
Let
me
give
you
a
brief
disc
description
under
the
clock
here.
So
I'll
make
it
brief
and
question
questions
later.
Many
members
on
the
floor
said
earlier
today
that
they've
had
several
bills,
and
this
is
probably
the
most
important
one
that
they've
carried
since
they've
been
up
here,
and
this
would
be
one
for
me.
I
remember
back
in
1973
when
I
first
started
teaching
school.
I
I
Some
students,
you
can't
get
to
be
quiet.
Some
cane
you
can't
get
to
speak
up.
Some
of
them
are
so
intelligent
that
they
grasp
every
single
thing
that
you
say
and
then
some
struggle
on
every
subject.
But,
as
I
went
through
the
weeks
and
months,
I
began
to
fall
in
love.
You
know
you
don't
teach
a
class,
you
teach
individual
students
because
they
all
become
very
unique
to
you
and
so
my
point
being
teaching
you
teach
to
the
uniqueness
of
students.
I
Students
are
all
different
and
the
reason
I
am
so
pleased
to
carry
this
legislation.
We
have
the
first
opportunity.
I
have
taken
this
bill
house
bill
2341
for
the
past
three
months
and
I
have
torn
it
up
and
down
in
every
which
we
actually
look
at
trying
to
find
fault,
because
the
bp
formula
is
30
years
old
and
ever
since
I've
been
up
here
for
13
years
and
nine
years
on
the
education
committee,
people
say
the
bep
doesn't
work
here
and
it
doesn't
work
there.
I
We
have
an
opportunity
now,
under
this,
under
this
particular
bill,
to
look
at
how
we
fund
education
and
the
reason
I'm
excited,
and
I'm
convinced
that
this
is
a
good
formula
to
follow,
is
because
it
funds
according
to
student
needs
and
briefly
what
it
does.
You
have
a
base
where
every
student
in
every
school
in
that
district
gets
a
base,
six
thousand
eight
hundred
and
sixty
dollars.
I
If
you
were
going
to
start
a
school,
what
is
in,
that
is
all
the
elements
of
doing
school
teachers
and
counselors
and
nurses
and
and
all
the
things
associated
with
that
that's
your
base.
But
then
you
begin
to
fund.
According
to
your
weights,
you
have
different
student
needs.
Economically
disadvantaged,
small
districts,
sparse
districts,
concentrated
poverty,
poverty
and
each
of
those
weights
has
a
percentage
and
that
percentage
is
multiplied
by
the
the
base.
So
there's
more
money
going
in
based
upon
the
student
needs,
every
student
is
unique
and
then
we
have
direct
funding.
I
Besides
the
weights,
we
have
direct
funding,
and
one
thing
that
we
already
fought
for
early
on
in
this
is
we're
always
talking
about
third
grade
reading
literacy,
that
our
students
are
not
coming.
One
out
of
three
kids
are
reading
on
third
grade
level
time
they
leave.
So
we
have
a
direct
funding
that
every
child
in
every
school,
that's
in
k
through
third
grade
that
school
gets
an
extra
500
per
child
to
address
early
childhood
literacy.
There's
literacy,
tutoring
in
fourth
grade,
there's
cte
student
money,
there's
outcome
funding!
I
Also,
if
you
take
the
resources
you
are
given
and
you
really
perform
there
are,
there
are
bonuses
and
things
in
outcome,
funding,
there's
fast
growth,
district
money
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
and
as
we've
gone
through
the
last
we
we've
intentionally
worked
on
this
for
the
last
six
months,
but
for
the
last
seven
weeks,
through
five
committees,
we
have
ripped
this
bill
up
up
and
down
and
let
everybody
come
in
and
put
things
that
you
want
to
and
talk
about
it
and
we
come
up
with
this
particular
bill
that
we
have
before
us
now
and
say.
A
K
Thank
you,
members.
What
this
amendment
would
do
is
simply
guarantee
an
increase
to
the
bep
amount,
that's
automatic,
which
should
either
be
two
percent
or
the
rate
of
inflation.
Whichever
is
less
here's
one
problem
with
this
bill
and
that
problem
is
that
it
requires
us
to
come
back
each
year
to
increase
the
funding
it
will.
It
requires
a
legislative
act
to
do
that.
That's
different
from
the
bep
which,
as
you
know,
provides
for
increased
funding
automatically
over
time.
So
I'm
amending
this
bill
to
ensure
automatic
funding.
K
I
would
say-
and
I
know
we
have
a
lot
of
discussion
today-
that
the
bep,
while
we
all
have
various
issues
with
with
small
components
of
it,
has
provided
steady,
consistent
and
in
many
ways
equitable
funding,
as
intended
by
its
initial
drafters
for
many
many
many
years,
and
this
automatic
increase
in
funding
is
one
of
its
best
aspects
and
we're
eliminating
that
under
this
bill.
Unless
we
pass
this
amendment
with
that,
I'd
move
passage.
A
B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
My
friend
from
davidson
county
won
in
the
entire
debate
on
this
bill.
Today
I
did
not
actually
we'd
have
have
any
members
stand
up
and
advocate
in
favor
of
the
bep,
so
that
was
unexpected.
But
to
you
the
point
of
your
amendment,
that's
simply
not
how
we
do
things
in
tennessee.
We
don't
do
automatic
increases
to
programs.
We
don't
do
automatic
increases
of
taxes.
B
We
come
here
every
year
we
balance
the
budget
down
to
the
penny,
just
as
you,
sir,
have
done
for
many
years,
and
that
is
a
purposeful
decision
on
this
body's
part
for
those
that
run.
For
you
know
election
and
re-election.
That's
our
job
is
to
make
these
tough
decisions
on
how
much
to
fund
into
the
state
portion
of
the
tissa
if
this
bill
passes
or
bep,
and
what
has
always
been
done.
So
with
that,
mr
speaker,
I
move
this
amendment
to
the
table.
A
K
K
A
Parameter
situation
is
representative
has
moved
adoption
of
amendment
number
three
leader.
Lambert
has
moved
that
motion
to
the
table,
we're
voting
on
the
tabling
motion,
all
those
in
favor
vote
eye
when
the
bell
rings.
Those
opposed
don't
know,
has
every
member
voted
the
zener
which
changed
their
vote.
A
L
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
sponsor.
I
refer
to
this
amendment
as
the
truth
and
tesa
amendment.
What
this
amendment
would
do
is
provide
true
transparency
to
our
local
governments
and
educators
across
the
state
of
tennessee.
L
That's
the
number
one
intent
and
second,
it
would
increase
accountability
for
the
benefit
of
local
governments,
who
we
regularly
rely
on
and
expect
to
fill
in
the
major
substantial
gaps
that
we
create
when
we
pass
unfunded
mandates.
Funding
for
instruction
in
tennessee
is
a
glaring
example
of
this.
The
instructional
component
of
the
bep,
of
course,
is
delineated
and
clearly
delineated.
What
this
bill
does,
if
you,
if
you
take
a
look
at
the
base,
amount
definition
and
the
recitals
of
this
bill,
it
basically
throws
in
the
kitchen
sink.
L
It
includes
the
instructional
supports.
It
includes
the
materials
and
supplies
operational
expenses
system,
everything
that
you
want
to
fund
in
your
school
system.
They
say
falls
within
that
base
amount
and
it's
laughable
that
you
think
you
can
fund
it
with
six
thousand
eight
hundred
sixty
dollars
per
student,
but
that
amount
is
not
even
in
this
bill.
That
amount
is
not
even
decided
by
any
of
this
room.
L
It's
going
to
be
admitted
decided
by
unelected
officials
what
this
amendment
does
is
it
separates
out
the
instructional
amount
and
the
amount
we're
actually
going
to
put
into
instructional
fiscal
spending
from
the
base
amount
so
that
our
local
leaders
and
educators
know
exactly
how
much
we're
funding
this
largest?
Arguably
the
most
important
component
of
education
funding
formula,
because
now
it's
currently
commingled
with
that
laundry
list
of
other
things
which
eliminates
any
semblance
of
transparency
which
we
are
professing
to
provide
with
this
bill.
L
This
amendment
is
written
to
make
it
abundantly
clear
to
our
local
governments,
our
school
boards,
our
county
commissions,
about
who
really
supports
public
education
versus
just
who's.
Given
it
lip
service
right
now,
the
state
funds
teacher
salaries
based
on
an
intellectually
dishonest
low
ball
assumption
that
we
all
heard
in
the
committee
of
forty
eight
thousand
three
hundred
thirty
dollars
per
year,
but
according
to
the
state
board
of
education
and
their
data
online,
the
actual
average
licensed
instructional
salary
in
tennessee
is
55
000..
L
It's
nearly
a
16
gap
between
between
what
the
state
claims
it
costs
versus
the
cost.
In
real
life.
We
rely
on
our
local
governments
to
fill
in
that
gap.
That's
completely
dishonest
and
unreasonable
of
us
to
do.
We
have
been
unfairly
shifting
the
cost
of
instruction.
This
amendment
would
make
it
clear
exactly
what
we
are
appropriating
to
instruction
and
making
that
a
delineated
part
of
the
funding
formula.
L
We
cannot
simply
say
this:
lump
amount
per
student
is
going
to
cover
everything
our
local
governments
need
to
provide
education
to
our
children.
We
need
to
be
clear.
This
would
also
allow
us
if
we
want
to
go
and
increase
teacher
pay.
This
allows
us
to
adjust
it
in
the
formula
exactly
rather
than
trying
to
throw
it
in
the
kitchen
sink
with
all
this
other
base
amount
and
not
having
any
guarantee
our
teachers
are
going
to
increase
pay
with
that.
I
would
ask
for
your
support
of
this
amendment.
Move
adoption.
B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
our
local
boards
of
education,
the
local
school
boards
get
elected
to
do
this
very
thing
they
get
to
sit
down
and
make
a
determination
as
to
what
either
one
of
my
children
any
of
your
children
or
grandchildren
what
they
need
in
their
classroom.
The
states
the
state
provides
the
vast
bulk
of
that
of
those
funds
and
that's
a
good
thing.
B
This
sets
up
a
structure
for
that,
but,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
your
amendment
sir,
takes
away
a
great
amount
of
local
control
and
at
our
heart
of
hearts
in
this
body,
we
believe
that
the
best
decisions
are
made
closest
to
the
people,
which
is
local
government.
That's
the
local
school
board.
So
I
trust
our
local
school
board
instead
of
this
amendment
to
micromanage
their
decisions
for
that
server.
With
all
due
respect,
I'll
move
this
amendment
to
the
table.
A
A
L
L
We
expect
them
to
do
a
lot
with
less
and
we're
going
to
be
expecting
them
to
do
a
lot
more
with
a
lot
less
more
under
this
legislation,
the
very
least
we
could
do
is
delineate
what
amount
of
money
we're
delineating
in
the
formula
to
the
instructional
component
of
this
formula.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
this
provides
transparency.
L
What
we
need
to
do
is
be
transparent
and
say
we're
allocating
this
amount
of
money,
this
part
of
the
formula
for
instructional
component
of
educational
funding,
and
that's
what
you
can
rely
on
from
this
body-
we're
not
just
going
to
give
you
a
low
ball
number
based
on
low
ball
estimates
of
average
teacher
salaries
and
expect
our
local
governments
to
do
everything
we
ask
them
to
do
with
insufficient
funds.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
let's
be
transparent
and
let's
be
held
accountable
to
ourselves
for
the
benefit
of
our
local
governments.
A
F
Amendment
number
five
representative
thompson,
mr
speaker,
was
timely,
filed.
E
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
amendment
deals
with
cdf
or
cost
differential
factor.
E
E
Not
adopt,
oh,
I
wish
it'd
be
adopted.
I'm
sorry.
A
B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and,
unfortunately
to
the
member.
I
don't
know
if
this
was
a
drafting
error,
but
there
has
been
a
conversation
about
cdf
and
how
to
handle
that
issue
outside
of
the
formula.
This
amendment
actually
puts
it
inside
the
formula
which
would
significantly
change
the
fiscal
note,
and
we
already
passed
a
budget
last
week,
so
unfortunately,
this
amendment
would
in
essence,
completely
do
away
with
this
bill
for
the
year.
It
would
have
to
go
back
to
finance
and
we
would
not
proceed.
B
I
do
not
think
that
would
be
a
wise
thing
for
us
to
do,
especially
after
all
the
work
that
has
been
put
into
this
by
so
many
people
over
the
last
six
to
eight
months.
So
with
that,
mr
speaker,
I
would
move
this
amendment
to
the
table.
A
E
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
frankly,
it
would
be
a
good
idea
for
us
to
take
a
bit
more
time
to
refine
this
plan,
but
the
important
thing
is
that
we
do
have
equitable
salaries,
especially
in
those
counties
where
we
have.
E
You
know,
problems
retaining
and
and
hiring
new
teachers,
especially
some
of
us
who
are
in
counties
that
are
joining
other
states
and
we're
competing
continually
competing
with
those
other
states.
So
I
hope
that
everyone
would
add
this
pla,
this
cdf
to
the
to
this
plan.
Thank
you.
A
A
M
M
In
order
to
do
the
work
that
we
think
it
ought
to
do,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
is
that
the
cost
is
kept
in
alignment
with
the
increase,
and
so
by
asking
for
50
of
that
money,
we
can
ensure
that
your
lease
that
goes
across
the
state
will
have
the
working
capital
that
is
so
need
to
have
in
order
to
effectively
train
and
teach
our
our
children,
and
we
don't
know
what
that
will
be,
have
no
idea
what
it
will
be.
But
we
know
that
especially
these
economic
times.
M
Things
are
kind
of
you
know
roller
coaster,
as
it
relates
to
cost
on
everything,
supply
chains
being
backed
up
and
all
kinds
of
problems
we
have
at
this
point
in
time.
We
just
want
to
try
to
do
good
work
here
economically
and
make
sure
that
we
can
ensure
that
work
is
maintained
and
that's
what
this
amendment
simply
seeks
to
do
with
that.
B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
similar
to
the
last
amendment
at
just
a
different
percentage.
I
would
move
this
amendment
to
the
table
for
those
reasons.
A
M
Mr
speaker,
thank
you
again
and
my
good
colleague
on
the
other
side
of
the
aisle
moved
it
to
the
table,
but
you
all
know
that
that
table
has
termites
on
it
and
termites
simply
eat
a
table
down
to
the
ground
and
that's
exactly
what
these
fluctuating
prices
will
do
to
the
lea's
budget
to
put
termites
on
the
budget.
Okay,
and
we
want
to
be
competitive
in
this
state.
M
We
want
to
be
competitive
in
the
world
and
simply
if
you
would
ask
your
le
leas
back
home
whether
they
want
termites
on
the
table
or
they
want
the
budgets
to
reflect
what
those
economic
times
suggests.
For
that
particular
day,
I
guarantee
they
will
say
they
want
to
make
sure
they're,
not
they're,
not
coming
up
short,
so
help
me
to
eliminate
the
termites
off
the
table
and
stick
with
me
on
this
amendment
to
make
sure
that
our
lease
across
the
state
are
held
harmless
because
of
the
economic
fluctuations
in
our
in
our
community.
A
Permanent
situation,
representative
townsend,
has
moved
to
option
amendment
number
six
leader
rather
than
move
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
members
change
the
vote.
A
L
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
can
assure
you
that
this
amendment
contains
no
termites
this.
What
this
amendment
does
is
sets
a
floor,
as
most
of
you
heard
repeated
over
and
over
again
that
the
state
local
match
average
is
70
30..
Well,
we
all
many
of
us
represent
districts
for
70.
30
is
a
dream.
That's
not
actually
true.
Our
counties
are
paying
much
higher
percentages
of
that.
L
What
this
amendment
would
do
is
complete
is
simply
set
a
floor
to
say
that
the
local
governments
cannot
be
held
responsible
for
more
than
50
percent
states
should
do
its
fair
share.
No
counties
should
be
turned
upside
down
and
and
made
to
carry
the
entire
weight
of
their
education
system.
The
state
has
a
fiscal
duty
to
our
local
governments.
L
B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
with
audrey
my
friend
with
all
the
respect
for
my
friend
from
davidson
county.
I,
this
is
a
terribly
misguided
amendment
that
will
literally
take
money
from
the
poorest
counties
in
our
state
and
shift
it
to
the
richest
wealthiest
counties
of
the
state.
That's
by
definition.
What
the
amendment
does.
I
can't
stand
here
and
in
good
conscience
vote
for
something
like
that.
So
I
would
move
this
amendment
to
the
table.
A
L
L
News
is
our
state
is
fisc
has
been
physically
responsible
and
we
have
the
money
to
cover
these
costs,
so
no
money
will
be
taken
from
any
county.
This
simply
says
that
no
single
county
can
be
carry
required
to
carry
the
full
load
of
its
education
funding.
Then
the
reality
is
these
rich
counties
or
well-off
counties
or
wealthy
counties.
However,
my
colleague
described
them
are
paying
for
a
bulk
of
our
education
system.
L
A
Permalink
situations
representing
clemens
has
moved
adoption.
Member
number
five
leader
lambert
has
moved
that
most
to
the
table.
We're
voting
on
the
tabling
motion
on
amendment
number,
seven,
all
those
in
favor
vote
aye
when
the
bell
rings.
Those
opposed
vote
no
does
any
member
which
change
your
vote
has
ever
have
voted.
N
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
is
a
pretty
simple
amendment.
What
it
does
but
important.
It
makes
sure
that
we
sufficiently
fund
the
institute.
Instructional
supports
in
the
funding,
and
it
mentions
a
few
things
that,
specifically,
as
far
as
making
sure
we
have
at
least
one
art,
music
and
physical,
ed
teacher
in
elementary
and
making
sure
that
we
have
college
and
career
counselor
and
in
the
secondary
schools.
Some
of
those
things
it
just
goes
into
a
little
more
detail,
and
it
makes
sure
that
not
we
are
sufficiently
funding.
N
One
of
the
problems
that
people
see
with
the
bep
is
not
the
bep
formula
itself,
but
the
fact
that
thousands
of
teachers
are
funded
outside
of
the
bep,
so
there's
not
enough
money
in
the
bep
to
make
it
work,
and
so
the
reality
is.
If
we
put
this
in
there
we'll
make
sure
that
we
have
sufficient
funding
as
things
come
up
under
the
tisa
funding
formula.
N
I
moved
to
adopts.
A
B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
will
say
that,
if
passed,
the
test
of
formula
would
place.
Tennessee
is
the
second
highest
base
in
the
southeast
and
the
12th
highest
base
in
the
country.
It
adds
literally
and
starting
in
next
year's
budget.
It
gives
all
of
our
school
systems
time
to
get
ready
for
that.
A
billion
new
dollars
for
k-12
education,
something
both
of
us
have
mentioned
on
the
floor
in
the
past
additional
funding
for
k-12
education.
B
The
one
difference
that
we
have
had
over
the
years
obviously,
is
that
I
truly
believe
that
the
best
decisions
are
made
by
our
local
school
boards.
They
know
how
to
allocate
these
funds
our
local
school
boards,
our
local
director,
schools,
our
local
principals
and
our
local
teachers
are
the
ones
that
are
hands-on
dealing
every
day
with
parents
and
with
students
they
should
be
able
to
make
a
decision
as
to
how
to
allocate
these
funds
we've
got
literally
again
if
this
passes
second
highest
in
the
southeast
twelfth
highest
in
the
country
is
far
from
the
base.
B
A
N
Thank
you.
I
think
that
the
important
thing
to
remember
here
is
that
we've
already
passed
the
funding,
we're
talking
about
this
legislation
and
what
I'm
talking
about
here
in
this
amendment
as
a
way
to
make
this
make
certain
that
we
are
funding
everything
that
we
need
to
fund
and
being
specific
about
the
positions
and
everything.
So
we
don't
end
up
in
the
situation
that
we
are
currently
with
the
bep,
and
so
with
that,
I'm
going
to
ask
people
to
vote
against
the
tabling
motion.
A
Part
million
situations
representative
johnson,
has
moved
adoption
of
amendment
number.
Eight
leader
lambda
has
moved
that
motion
to
the
table.
We're
voting
on
the
takeaway
motion,
all
those
in
favor
of
vote
eye
on
the
bell
rings.
I
was
supposed
to
vote.
No
is
there
remember
voters
they
may
always
change
your
vote.
K
Yeah
I've
got
two
amendments
addressing
charter
schools
and
so
I'll
talk
on
one
and
withdraw
the
other
to
keep
our
debate
clear
and
clean.
I
just
heard
the
leader
talk
about
the
need
to
leave
local
officials
in
charge
of
spending
in
charge
of
their
school
budgets.
K
I'm
sorry,
I
have
to
say
this
bill
is
worded
to
achieve
the
direct
opposite
result
and
one
of
those
mechanisms
for
doing
so
is
direct
allocation
of
funding
under
subsection
c
direct
allocation
under
subsection
5c
direct
allocation
of
funding
is
is
guided
directly
by
the
department
of
education
and
you
look
on
page
9
of
the
initial
amendment
setting
out
the
bill
and
you
can
see
where
it
talks
about
the
department
promulgating
rules
to
achieve
the
direct
allocation.
K
K
If
this
bill
passes,
what
this
amendment
would
simply
do
is
say
no
we're
not
going
to
for
the
first
time,
allow
the
department
to
just
directly
allocate
money
to
those
public
charter.
Schools
haven't
done
it
in
the
past
and
we're
not
going
to
do
it
going
forward.
It's
a
really
simple
amendment.
I'd
urge
you
to
consider
it.
B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
for
a
moment
there
I
wasn't
sure
which
one
the
moving
party
was
going
to
withdraw,
I'm
going
to
assume
it's
possibly
the
next
amendment,
but
on
this
particular
amendment
we
have
provided
some
facility
funding
for
public
charter
schools
since
2017
and
to
take
that
out
now
I
mean
that's
something
that
should
be
debated
in
a
whole
separate
bill.
With
that
I
would
move
this
amendment
to
the
table.
Support.
A
K
And
if
you
look
to
page
11
of
the
bill
on
the
first
amendment,
it's
under
subsection,
five
c
five,
it
puts
the
money
directly
into
charter
schools,
bypassing
your
school
boards.
I'd
highly
recommend
you
consider
this
amendment
and
vote
for
which
will
prevent
that
allocation
to
public
charter
schools.

that
ever
came
in,
even
though
we
had
one
of
the
shortest
members
ever
deserve
in

class
volunteers.
I
really
enjoyed
working
with
you.

just
tell
a
quick
story

you.

trying

for
that,

just
wanted
to
take
a
minute.
G
We
all
come
in
together

it's
been
great
serving
with
you
and
I
never
will
forget
one
of
the
proudest
moments
I've
had
since
I've
been
down

was
the
stand
that
you
took
the
day,
the
little
boy
they
couldn't
find
him,
joe
bob
or
whatever
his
name
was,
and
how
your
community,
joe
claude,
how
how
you
guys
rallied
around
that
family-
and
that
meant
a
lot
to
me
and
that
let
me
know
that
there
was
a
lot
of
good
people
in
this
general

who
truly
do
care
about

committee
that
met
over
the
summer
had
several
hearings
and
what
it
seeks
to
do
is
address
a
situation
that
arose
over
the
summer
in
chattanooga
and
it
creates
a
non-traditional
child
care
agency.
This
bill
was
written
in
consultation,
close
consultation
with
the
department
of
children's
services,
the
while
tennessee
has
no
standing
in
regard
to
immigration,
federal
law
and
state
law.

Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
realize
I
was
out
of
order,
but,
as
the
representative
from
the
district
of
champions
makes
his
ways
back
to
his
seat
in
his
linen
attire
ready
for
the
beach,
I
thought
we'd
take
a
moment
to
recognize
him
on
this
coming
saturday,
since
god
willing,
we
won't
be
here.
Kevin
vaughn,
my
good
friend,
chairman
of
commerce,
will
celebrate
his
60th
birthday,
happy
birthday.
F

I

I
G
A

All
right,
thank
you
very
much
representative
clemens,
you're
recognized,
represent
clemens
you're
recognized
passes
any
further
discussion
see
now
any
objection
to
the
question
see
none.
We
are
voting
all
those
in
favor
of
senate
bill,
2019
vote
iowa
and
the
bell
rings.
Those
opposed
vote.
No.
Does
every
member
cast
vote
same
always
change
your
vote.
A
A
N
N
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
is
a
measure
to
encourage
high
performing
teachers
to
go
to
schools
that
may
be
struggling
with
that.
I
don't
need
my
motion.
A
A
F
E
N
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
bill
addresses
a
it's
an
addressable
drug
called
time.
Eptine
it's
available
in
many
convenience
stores.
It's
a
very
damaging
drug
has
similar
effects
to
meth
and
heroin.
This
takes
that
out
of
those
stores
makes
it
a
class
a
misdemeanor
again,
which
would
take
it
off
the
shelves.
With
that,
I
will
renew
my
motion.
Q
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and,
and
I
agree
with
the
the
chairman
I
wish
that
we
still
had
kratom
in
here.
I
think
that's
a
terrible
drug
to
have
that's
available,
but
my
question
is
with
this
sounds
like
it's.
A
I've
not
heard
of
this
specific
drug,
but
sounds
like
it's
a
problem
that
we
need
to
address.
Q
N
Thank
you
yeah,
so
so,
with
it
being
a
class,
a
misdemeanor,
it
would
take
that
off
the
shelf.
So
if
they
tried
to,
if
they
tried
to
purchase
that
it
would
be,
it
would
be
that
class
a
misdemeanor.
So
obviously
we
want
to
try
to
stop
that
on
the
front
end
and
just
stop
it's
it's
initial
sale.
It
is
marketed
as
a
dietary
supplement,
a
lot
again,
you'll
kind
of
see
it
at
the
front
of
those
gas
stations.
N
One
of
one
of
the
brand
names
is
zaza
red
and
but
again
we
want.
We
want
to
stop
that
before
it
gets
into
the
possession
of
someone
else
and
so
stopping
it
at
the
convenience
stores
from
the
retailer
from
zen
pal.
Q
N
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
representative,
really
for
some
some
for
reasons
stated
earlier
it
one
thing:
it
is
not
in
the
senate
version
again
there
were
some
some
mixed
views
on
how
to
address
kratom,
specifically
whether
to
ban
that
entirely
or
to
put
excuse
me
to
put
some
sort
of
regulation
on
that
maybe
21
and
over
just
felt
like
there
was
maybe
a
little
bit
deeper
debate
to
go
into
on
that
particular
subject.
N
My
bill
when
initially
filed,
addressed
tnf
teams.
Specifically,
I
didn't
want
again
a
larger
debate
on
kratom
to
to
sink
this
effort.
I'm
certainly
willing
to
to
have
that
discussion,
but
didn't
seem
that
the
senate
was
going
to
take
that
up.
So
we
just
we
just
went
with
the
tnf
team.
A
L
A
N
Representative,
while
I'm
not
an
expert
in
that
at
all,
I
want
one
specific
difference.
I
can
tell
you
tn
eptine
is
a
chemical
compound,
so
it's
a
synthetic
in
a
lab,
kratom
or
kratom
is,
is
a
plant.
It's
a
natural
plant.
Again,
I'm
not
saying
that's
good
or
bad,
but
that
would
be
one
difference.
Tneptein
is
a
chemically
made
substance.
Kratom
would
be
a
natural
substance.
A
A
A
J
J
A
A
F
A
F
G
G
This
bill
fully
funded,
will
not
cost
your
county
any
money,
and
we
need
to
thank
trey
hargett,
our
secretary
of
state
and
the
governor
for
funding
this
roughly
30
million
dollars.
That's
going
to
cost
to
upgrade
or
replace
these
machines
in
those
61
counties.
So
with
that
explanation,
I'll
move
renew
my
motion.
A
A
A
C
E
A
A
F
C
A
C
A
A
F
A
F
C
A
Q
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
so
this
would
create
a
voluntary
work
share
program.
What
that
is,
it's
an
alternative
to
layoffs.
So
if
they
were
to
face
a
downturn,
the
economy
or
a
specific
industry
was
to
face
challenges
rather
than
laying
off
employees.
It
could
instead
choose
to
reduce
work
hours
for
all
employees
and-
and
this
is
oftentimes
a
smart
strategy
for
a
lot
of
businesses
and
companies
because
they
want
to
make
sure
that
they
maintain
those
employees.
Q
The
other
advantage
is
it
allows
those
employees
to
still
maintain
their
benefits,
so
they
might
have
health
benefits
retirement
benefits.
They
can
still
maintain
those,
and
hopefully
then,
when
the
economy
picks
back
up
everybody
still,
they
can
return
to
full
employment
and
they
can
not
miss
a
beat.
It's
important
to
know
that
the
company
would
have
to
agree
to
this.
They
would
also
work
in
tandem
with
the
department
of
labor
and
workforce
development
for
this,
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
it's
important
that
people
maintain
their
jobs.
Q
Actually,
governor
ned,
ray
mcwhorter,
said
the
best
social
service
program
is
a
good
paying
job,
and
that
is
what
this
is
all
about.
Making
sure
that
we
keep
things
moving
along,
we
face
a
downturn
or
recession,
or
we
have
a
bump
in
the
road
and
with
any
industry.
The
tennessee
chamber
of
commerce
has
been
very
helpful
with
this.
Chairman
vaughn
has
been
very
helpful
as
we've
worked
through
this
legislation.
The
last
couple
years
and
I
feel
like
this-
is
a
really
important
bill
for
commerce
and
jobs
in
the
state
of
tennessee.
A
A
F
Mr
speaker,
I
have
an
announcement
for
the
benefit
of
the
members
we
have
put
together
a
consent.
Calendar
number
two.
It
should
be
appearing
in
the
dashboard
application
shortly
if
it
hasn't
already.
I
just
wanted
the
members
to
be
aware
of
that,
so
you
can
go
ahead
and
start
looking
through
it
and
seeing
those
items
that
we
have
set
for
consent.
Calendar
number
two.
O
F
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker
removed
passage
of
sam
bill
2078
on
third
and
final
consideration.
A
J
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
members.
This
house
bill
20
or
excuse
me
senate
bill
2078
came
to
us
through
the
or
by
the
tennessee
marine
association.
There
has
been
phenomenal
growth.
The
past
five
years
along
our
lakes
and
waterways
here
in
the
state
with
that
comes
of
course
needed
improvements
such
as
parking
lot,
expansions
ingress,
egress
roads
going
in
and
out
of
coming
in
and
out
of
these
facilities.
So
with
that,
currently
the
our
twra
receives
for
these
improvements.
I
C
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
to
my
good
friend
representative
kelly
kiesling.
Is
this
raising
the
the
tax
at
the
marina
for
our
votes,
or
is
this
just
redistributing
funds
to
twra.
R
A
A
C
C
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
members
senate
bill
1864
authorizes
a
teacher
who
is
holding
a
second
or
third
temporary
teaching
permit
to
apply
to
the
department
of
education
for
a
practitioner
license
to
continue
teaching
the
course
or
subject
area
taught
pursuant
to
that
teacher's
temporary
permit.
Under
certain
conditions.
The
bill
lists
those
bars
that
the
teacher
has
to
meet.
It
requires
the
state
board
of
education
to
establish
the
requirements
for
a
limited
license
and
to
issue
and
to
develop
a
pathway
for
a
teacher
who
possesses
a
limited
license
to
obtain
a
practitioner
license.
C
So
this
is
a
good
tool
to
not
only
recruit
our
teachers
but
all
recruit
teachers,
but
also
to
retain
them,
and
I
move
passage.
A
A
C
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
move
to
substitute
and
conform
to
senate
bill
2081.
C
F
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
move
for
adoption.
I'm
sorry
same
as
senate
amendment
move
to
withdraw.
C
You,
mr
speaker,
senate
bill
2081,
is
regarding
the
middle
college.
Program
is
operated
by
the
two-year
post-secondary
institution
and
partnership
with
leas.
It
permits
students
in
the
fall
of
their
junior
year
of
high
school
to
enter
into
a
two-year
institution
and,
at
the
same
time
earn
a
high
school
diploma
and
an
associate
degree.
Ninety-Five
percent
of
the
students
who
complete
the
program
continue
on
to
complete
a
four-year
degree.
This
bill
would
raise
the
middle
college
scholarship
from
twelve
hundred
fifty
dollars
to
two
thousand
dollars
per
semester,
and
with
that,
mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.
A
A
F
A
J
A
J
J
We're
good
it's
to
prevent
the
amount
of
information
that
comes
from
the
state
of
tennessee,
that
telemarketers
are
using
to
create
their
databases
which
result
in
phone
calls
to
our
constituents.
So
hopefully
we
will
reduce
that
number.
This
legislation
will
not
stop
it,
but
it
is
a
step
toward
reducing
the
number
of
calls
our
constituents
get
with
that.
I
renew
my
motion.
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
then
thank
you,
I'm
ready
to
sign
on,
but
tell
me,
how
does
it
reduce
it.
J
It
deletes
sections
11
and
12
from
tca
55
25.
Those
sections
read
for
any
other
use
in
response
to
requests
for
individual
motor
vehicle
records.
If
the
state
has
obtained
the
express
consent
of
the
person
to
whom
the
personal
information
pertains
and
12
is
in
bulk
distribution
for
surveys,
marketing
or
solicitation,
if
the
state
has
obtained
the
express
consent
of
the
person
to
whom
the
personal
information
pertains,
so
we're
redeemed
we're
preventing
them
from
releasing
for
those
informations.
For
those
reasons,
sorry
representative,
parkerson.
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
and
thank
you
chairman
for
bringing
this
legislation.
You
know
we.
We
actually
had
a
a
big
story
in
the
news
about
this
last
year
in
memphis,
and
maybe
you
saw
it
also,
but
but
this
is
a
good
bill
man.
I
appreciate
you
bringing
it.
I
forgot
to
bring
it
and
thank
you
for
covering
me,
but
I'm
bringing
it
down
when
I
sign
on
to
your
bill.
A
A
P
A
A
A
P
P
Thank
you,
mr.
This
is
the
bill
that
would
change
the
grading
scale
in
tennessee
for
letter
grades
from
the
current
seven
point
scale
to
a
ten
point
scale,
which
is
the
same
scale
used
by
virtually
all
states
in
the
country
and
all
of
tennessee's
neighboring
states.
This
would
offer
several
advantages
to
tennesseans.
First
of
all,
when
tennesseans
apply
to
competitive
colleges
like
harvard
and
duke
or
when
they
apply
to
competitive
for
competitive
scholarships,
they
wouldn't
be
disadvantaged
relative
to
students
from
other
states.
I'll
just
give
an
example.
P
Currently
if
a
student
from
kentucky
with
a
92
were
to
apply
to
harvard
that
92
would
be
considered
an
a
but
a
tennessean
with
a
92
applying
to
harvard
would
have
a
b
harvard
might
mistakenly
think
that
the
kentucky
student
is
the
better
applicant.
This
bill
would
would
change
that.
It
would
also
remove
the
potential
for
high
school
students
moving
to
tennessee
and
having
their
gpas
go
down
because
of
our
different
grading
scale.
I
renew
my
motion.
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
thank
you
representative.
I
told
you
in
committee.
I
appreciate
you
bringing
this
bill.
It's
a
good
bill.
It
will
cause
uniformity
and
and
and
stop
some
of
the
antics
that
happened
before
previously
before
you
got
here
where
we
had.
You
know
the
state-run
achievement.
School
district
was
changing
their
grading
scale,
so
it
can
look
like
the
schools
were
doing
good
when
schools
in
fact
were
not
doing
good,
and
so
I
thank
you
for
bringing
that
man
keeping
some
uniformity
across
the
state
good
bill
appreciate
you.
C
A
A
F
N
A
E
A
J
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Slow
down
there,
young
man
you're,
not
chairman
curcio.
Just
yet,
can
you
explain
the
bill?
Please.
N
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Yes,
what
this
bill
does
is
it
adds
an
additional
offense
to
reckless
driving,
which
would
be
aggravated
reckless
driving,
and
that
would
be
a
a
misdemeanor
with
that.
I
renew
my
motion,
mr
speaker,.
Q
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
rise
in
support
of
this
bill.
I've
spoken
about
this
issue
before,
but
this
continues
to
be
an
issue
in
our
state
is
where
people.
Q
Quite
quite
frankly,
it's
a
threat
to
life,
and
so
I
know
this
gets
to
that
and
it's
an
ongoing
effort,
but
hopefully
people
will
take
this
seriously
and
reduce
and
respect
our
communities
because,
quite
frankly,
I'm
sick
of
people
driving
and
endangering
lives
of
tennesseans
with
their
cars
and
it's
time
to
stop-
and
I
appreciate
your
efforts-
ongoing
efforts
to
address
this
issue.
Thank
you.
N
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
What
it
does
is,
so
we
already
have
a
criminal
offense
of
reckless
driving.
This
would
add
an
additional
offense
of
aggravated
reckless
driving.
That
would
be
up
to
the
discretion
of
the
prosecutor
to,
depending
on
the
circumstances,
either
to
go
up
to
aggravated
reckless
driving
or
maybe
even
pleading
down
from
some
more
serious
offense
down
to
aggravated
reckless
driving.
A
J
P
J
N
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
guess
the
short
version
would
be
intentionally
or
knowing
and
then,
if
you
read
the
rest
of
the
code,
but
it's
intentionally
annoying
as
opposed
to
just
kind
of
weaving
in
and
out
of
traffic,
not
really
knowing
what
you're
doing.
I
would
say
that
that
emphasis
of
intentionally
being
a
bad
driver,
I
suppose.
O
No
we're
not
doing
that
right
now
we're
sensitive
about
calling
that
question
right
now
and
I'm
looking
at
then
thank
you
for
bringing
the
legislation
first
of
all
intentionally
or
knowingly
impeach
traffic
upon
a
public
street
highway
alley
parking
lot
so
would
be
individuals
that
block
off
the
traffic
in
order
for
other
individuals
to
do
doughnuts
in
the
middle
of
the
highway.
N
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
figure.
Yes,
that
is
my
intention.
The
last
year
I
had
similar
legislation
that
went
after
drag
racing,
and
this
is
hoping
to
fill
the
gaps
because
there's
a
lot
of
reckless
behavior
on
the
streets
that
may
be
leading
up
to
drag
racing,
but
it
is
not
yet
drag
racing,
and
that
is
what
that
is
what
this
is.
The
intent
of
this
is
to
give
the
da's
and
police
officers
one
more
tool
to
prevent
this
dangerous
driving.
O
What
about
those
trucks
that
intentionally
impede
traffic
on
the
highway
or
slow,
try
to
slow
the
traffic
down
on
the
highway
or
the
streets
or
caravans,
and
things
of
that
nature
that
intentionally
try
to
slow
down
traffic
would
could
they
be
charged
under
these
things
because
they
are,
they
would
be
intentionally
impeding
intentionally
and
knowingly,
impeding
will
that
would
that
work
for
them?
Also.
N
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
would,
I
would
say
again
it's
up
to
the
prosecution
to
use
their
discretion
for
certain
situations.
I
would
also
say
that
I
don't
think
a
truck
going.
You
know
from
70
to
65
miles
an
hour
would
fit
the
category
of
reckless
driving.
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
I
appreciate
that,
but
that's
not
what
I
was
talking
about.
You
know
sometimes
on
on
on
our
highways.
O
You'll
have
you
know
two
that
is
slow
to
traffic
down
to
45
55
miles
an
hour
just
being
possibly
spiteful
or
something
up
of
traffic
and
then
in
other
cases
you
know
you
had
these
truck
caravans
that
were
going
through
from
city
to
city
that
were
slowing
in
intentionally
impeding
traffic.
Will
that
fit
for
the
truck
caravans
that
are
going
through
city
of
the
city
and
intentionally
impeding
traffic.
N
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
thank
you
representative
gillespie.
I
I
think
that
you
know
the
intentional
intentionally
annoyingly
impeding
traffic
language.
You
know
speaks
for
itself,
so
I
hope
that
it'll
address
all
of
those,
and
I
appreciate
you
again.
I
appreciate
you,
you
bringing
this
legislation
and
I'm
going
to
sneak
over
here
and
sign
to
it.
So
it
doesn't
crash
your
legislation
because
I'm
signed
on
appreciate
you
thanks
for
bringing
the
bill.
A
I
85
on
the
interstate
be
considered
reckless
driving.
N
N
Thank
you.
This
bill
does
not
address
or
define
a
specific
yeah.
I
believe
that's
already
in
code.
I
don't
know
the
number
on
that.
A
A
J
M
N
A
J
D
J
Speaker
the
reason
I
asked
that
is,
I've
actually
had
subcontractors
and
stuff
involved
with
rex
on
private
property
and
the
law
enforcement
that
responded
said
they
did
not
have
jurisdiction.
So
I'm
wondering
if,
if
your
amendment
is
somehow
giving
jurisdiction
to
private
property-
and
we
might
have
an
undue
circumstance
here-
was
that
discussed
in
committee
at
all.
N
You,
mr
speaker,
two
answers
to
that.
First
of
all,
that
part
of
the
section
of
the
code
is
just
marrying
what's
already
there
and
secondly,
in
that
situation
you
just
gave
the
police
do
have
jurisdiction
in
that
area.
If
the
owner
of
the
parking
lot
gets
concerned,.
A
A
F
A
F
G
You,
mr
speaker,
22
years
ago,
tennessee
had
something
called
a
vendor's
compensation
program
that
would
allow
sales
tax
collecting
vendors
to
produce
a
small
amount
of
sales
tax
off
of
their
payments.
This
is
going
to
reinstate
that
for
a
non-recurring
period
next
year.
With
that
explanation,
mr
speaker,
I
moved
previous
question.
Excuse
me
our
I
I
can't
read
from
from
here.
I
renew
my
motion.
A
A
D
A
D
This
one
is
one
that
a
number
of
people
in
this
chamber
have
worked
on
for
a
significant
amount
of
time,
I'd
like
to
recognize
them
and
thank
them
for
that
work.
But
this
is
the
professional
privilege
tax.
We
are
removing
physicians,
both
mds
and
osteopaths,
from
the
professional
privilege
tax,
in
keeping
with
the.
D
The
methodology
that
we
have
used
in
the
past
in
eliminating
taxes
on
a
gradual
basis
from
our
recurring
budget
to
make
sure
that
we're
physically
responsible
this
will
allow
for
about
almost
a
10
million
dollar
tax
relief.
And
with
that,
mr
speaker,
I
remove
my
motion.
B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Madam
chairman,
thank
you
for
carrying
this
bill
and
I
want
to
commend
you
and
leader
gantt
and
representative
todd
and
several
others
for
championing
this
effort,
and
I
and
I
will
say
just
publicly.
I
know
that
all
of
us
collectively
agree
that
the
goal
is
to
completely
do
away
with
this
tax.
I
mean
it
should
not
have
never
been
put
in
to
begin
with
and
on
every
single
profession,
we're
gradually
doing
it
the
same
way.
B
We
do
in
tennessee
very
responsible
and
reasonable
and
methodical
as
we
cut
taxes
down,
but
I
did
want
to
just
double
check.
I
know
we
passed
the
budget
last
week,
but
if
for
everybody
here,
if
you
could
please
remind
us,
how
much
did
we
actually
cut
in
taxes
for
the
people
of
tennessee
in
the
budget
that
passed,
including
this
one.
D
There
are
other
tax
relief
bills
that
we
will
be
considering
and
all
together
it's
over
300
million
dollars.
I
forgot
the
bill
that
chairman
vaughn
presented
earlier
today,
which
was
three-year
tax
relief
on
broadband
materials
and
installations.
So
again
I
keep
repeating
that
hoping
that
somebody
in
the
media
is
going
to
pick
up
on
it,
but
our
friends
in
the
media
seem
to
focus
on
other
things,
but
when
you
go
back
home,
just
be
proud
of
the
fact
that
our
budget
in
tennessee
we're
putting
over
300
million
dollars
back
into
tennessee's
pockets.
A
A
F
F
A
Q
D
That
is
correct.
These
dollars
will
be
from
the
general
fund,
while
the
dollars
that
are
collected
normally
are
directed
into
the
highway
fund
and
another
small
fund.
We
are
making
those
funds
hold
from
the
general
fund.
A
Julie,
rebs
and
pal.
Q
Thank
you.
You
know,
I
think
one
thing
I've
heard
from
a
lot
of
people
across
the
state
of
tennessee
is
with
all
the
different
potholes
that
are
currently
you
know
on
our
interstates
and
highways,
and
it's
a
serious
problem.
I
mean
there
are
some
like
literally
it's
like
your
car.
Q
If
you
hit
the
pothole
good
luck
and
it's
costing
the
tennesseans
a
lot
of
money,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
doing
that-
and
hopefully
you
know,
there's
other
issues
that
the
highway
fund
is
being
utilized
to
fix
that
and
address
that
issue,
because
I
don't
know
for
whatever
reason:
it's
been
a
significant
problem
here
in
middle
tennessee
and
I
know
across
the
state,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
weren't
pulling
money
out
of
the
highway
fund
because
we
need
those
funds
to
keep
our
roads
in
good
shape.
D
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
It
depends
on
how
many
vehicles
tennessean
owns
this
is
the
registration
fee
will
be
waived
for
personal
vehicles,
motorcycles
and
auto
cycles,
personal
vehicles,
only
not
commercial
vehicles,
and
not
for
my
friends
who
have
trucking
companies
that
they
won't
be
impacted,
but
personal
vehicles,
auto
cycles
and
motorcycles,
and
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
you
all
probably
remember
we
passed
legislation
a
few
years
ago
that
for
electric
vehicles
they
pay
a
hundred
dollars
additional
registration
fee.
That
does
not
eliminate
that
100.
D
It's
23.75,
which
is
what
is
the
state
portion
of
your
vehicle,
license
registration
fee
and
the
local
fees
will
still
remain.
If
your
local
government
has
a
wheel
tax
or
some
other
fees
that
would
apply,
those
would
still
remain,
but
this
will
put
121
million
dollars.
121
million
dollars
back
in
the
pockets
of
tennesseans
represent.
G
But
the
gas
tax
you
know
I'm
paying
about
four
dollars
for
every
tank
of
gas
and
I'm
filling
up
about
once
a
week,
so
50
52
weeks
a
year.
You
know
if,
if
we
let's
say
we
just
gave
three
months
so
12
weeks
times,
4.48
that
should
be
double.
If
we
just
did
a
90-day
moratorium
on
the
gas
tax,
we'd
save
each
tennessee
and
double
so
I
just
want
everybody
to
realize
what
90
days
moratorium
could
do
twice
as
good
as
this
for
all
tennessee
families.
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I'm
not
an
expert
on
the
taxing
system
on
gasoline,
but
in
looking
into
this
the
way
that
gasoline
is
taxed.
My
understanding
is
that
if
we
did
that
it
would
basically
help
the
distributors,
it
would
not
reach
the
end
user.
So
this
is
a
way
to
get
dollars
directly
into
the
pockets
of
tennessee
citizens.
A
A

A
A
A

D

A

A
H
You,
mr
speaker,
house,
bill
959,
will
authorize,
licensed
professional
counselors,
obtain
and
maintain
a
license
in
other
compact
states,
while
authorizing
tennessee
to
continue
to
regulate
their
license.
This
will
remove
the
need
for
counselors
to
obtain
a
separate
license
in
each
state
which
they
wish
to
practice.
Benefits
include
increasing
job
opportunities,
opportunities
for
professional
counselors,
supporting
military
spouses
during
relocation
and
enhanced
mobility
for
licensed
counselors.
H
All
of
this
is
especially
important
to
our
state
state,
which
is
short
mental
health
counselors.
This
compact
is
constitutionally
authorized
and
legally
binding
states
currently
approving
this
contact
contract
includes
kentucky
mississippi,
alabama,
georgia,
west

and

With
that,
mr

Thank
you,
mr

I
moved
the
passage
of
senate
bill

A

You,
mr

members.
This
bill
will
allow
for

planning

With
that,
mr

I
renew
my
motion.
A
A
A
R
Thank
you,
speaker
members.
You
may
recall
the
other
day
we
had
some
some
bills
and
we
talked
about
prevention
and
intervention
in
terms
of
crime
and
other
things.
R
At
that
time
it
was
in
my
district
since
it's
in
mark
white's
district
he's
been
a
critical
part
of
this
and
melrose
high
school
in
orange.
Mound
what's
important
about
this
process,
is
to
realize
that
students,
some
students
who
began
the
process,
have
moved
on
to
college
and
on
to
real
life,
because
we
actually
started
this
about
five
or
six
years
ago
as
a
senior
class
project,
but
the
subsequent
students
have
picked
it
up.
R
So
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
had
a
hand
in
this
for
doing
what
those
children
at
white
station
high
school
under
professor
erica
sugarman
and
melrose
high
school
under
the
family,
engagement,
specialist,
latonia
blankenship
for
understanding
and
appreciating
that
driver's
ed
is
out
of
reach
of
some
of
those
students.
Some
of
the
families
can't
afford
five
six
hundred
dollars
for
a
driver's
ed
course.
R
What
does
driver's
ad
do?
It
makes
safe
for
drivers.
We
had
bills
earlier
dealing
from
rep
gillespie
dealing
with
reckless
driving.
This
is
what
it's
all
about:
educating
our
children,
giving
them
the
proper
training,
so
they
can
access
jobs,
access,
educational
opportunities
and
build
that
better
life
along
with
health
care
too,
by
the
way
and
build
that
better
life
for
themselves
and
their
families.
With
that,
mr
speaker,
pending
any
questions,
I

Finally

we
want
to
encourage
you
to
keep
all
the
calendars
on
your
desk,
that
you
have
you're
going
to
need
some
for
tomorrow.
In
addition,
those
of
you
who
have
been
here
for
several
years,
you'll
remember
that
we
have
a
very
important
position
that
we
like
to
appoint
the
chairman
of
the
paper
drive
tomorrow.
That
will
happen
and
you
will
be
able
to
allow
the
papers
on
your
desk
be
presented
to
the
chairman
of
our
paper
drive,
so
make
sure
you
keep
those.
A
Thank
you,

all
we're.
We
have
messages,
we're
just
making
sure
we
get
them
in
order
we're
going
to
do

If
we
need
to
set
up

we
can
do
that

start

Don't
have
to
worry
about
doing
that
in

and
then
there's
a
little

that
should
be

we'll
take
care
of
