There
are
two
things
in
life
you
do
not
want
to
miss.
That's
the
rapture
and
sunday
morning,
at
middle
valley,
church
of
god
amen
mitch
is
a.
He
is
an

One
of
his
sons
is
a
chaplain
in
the
united
states
army
and
has
a
granddaughter
he's
been
involved
in
community
like
most
of
us,
in
this
room,
serving
as
the
chairman
of
the
pta
of
three
different
schools,
not
just
on
the
board,
but
as
the
chairman
of
the
board
at
loftus
middle
school,
gans,
middle
valley
and
pond
creek
when
mitch
served
on
the
dallas
bay
volunteer
fire
department
in
our
community.
B
He
served
as
the
chairman
of
the
board
and
at
that
time
was
the
only
volunteer
fire
department
in
the
state
of
tennessee
with
a
level
two
iso
rating
which
we
were
very
proud
of
in
our
community.
He
has
served
as
a
county
commissioner
on
an
interim
appointment.
He
has
served
as
a
chaplain
as
the
senior
chaplain
for
the
sheriff's
department
in
hamilton
county
and
serves
as
currently
in
the
emergency
services
department,
as
a
chaplain
he's
going
to
lead
us
to
the
throne
of
god
in
just
a
moment.
B
B
The
first
amendment
says
that
we
have
the
freedom
to
assemble
and
the
freedom
of
speech,
the
freedom
of
the
press,
and
that
too,
is
an
inalienable
right
that
has
been
given
by
our
god.
There
are
judges
that
have
affirmed
it
there
of
others.
That
said,
amen,
but
brother
mcclure
is
going
to
lead
us
to
the
one
that
has
given
us.
That
is
an
inalienable
right.
B
Blood
has
been
spilled
all
over
this
country
for
our
freedom,
all
the
way
from
the
men
who
rush
to
king's
mountain
to
the
people
that
serve
in
the
military,
to
give
us
the
right
to
have
to
defend
our
own
rights
and
our
own
families
as
the
little
shepherd
boy
david
did
when
he
was
challenged
by
goliath,
but
it
is
god
that
gives
us
that
inalienable
rights,
and
I
would
invite
you
to
pray
with
us
as
brother.
Mcclure
leads
us
to
the
god
who
gives
us
these
rights
that
we
cherish
as
american
citizens.
C
Thank
you
representative,
mr
speaker,
members.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
It
is
a
privilege
to
be
here
and,
I
will
say,
amen
to
representative
martin.
I
may
not
even
need
to
pray
now,
but
but
I
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
and
I
was
telling
representative
shaw
earlier.
I
appreciate
what
you
do
here
and
how
you,
because
this
is
important-
it's
important
and
I
want
to
pray
for
you.
C
C
You
said
in
your
word
that
if
we
have
need
of
wisdom
to
seek
you-
and
you
would
give
it
to
us-
and
I'm
praying
this
evening
for
every
one
of
these
members
in
this
in
this
great
place-
that
when
they
do
need
wisdom,
that
they
seek
you
and
they
work
together
for
the
goodness
of
this
state
and
lord.
If
there's
anything
that
I
could
ask
you
to
do
not
just
to
bless
this
state
but
to
bless
the
citizens
of
this
state,
they
deserve
it.

I
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Well
curtis.
This
is
this
is
bittersweet
buddy.
This
is
a
hard
one
for
for
most
of
us
all
these
retirements
are
difficult
anytime.
You
have
someone
who
has
given
their
time
to
service,
but
before
we
say
anything
about
you
because
we
can
brag
on
you
all
day,
I
want
to
say
from
the
bottom
of
our
hearts
or
your
entire
family.
Thank
you
for
giving
so
much
of
him
to
us
because
he's
missed
birthday
parties
he's
missed.
I
Anniversaries,
he's
missed
I'll
guarantee
you,
you
know
athletic
events
at
schools
and
everything
else,
because
he's
been
here
working
on
behalf
of
the
entire
state
of
tennessee
and
to
you
young
gentleman
down
here.
I
hope
you
know
that
is
this
your
granddaddy
here
uh-huh.
I
hope
you
know
he
is
a
phenomenal
man
and
when
you
got
a
little
gray
hair
on
your
head
and
you
have
lived
as
long
as
he
has.
I
I
hope
that
what
they
say
about
you
two
is
that
you
have
been
a
very,
very
good
man
that
each
of
you
have-
and
I
know
you
will,
because
you
come
from
good
stock
curtis.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
friendship
for
all
of
us
here.
We've
learned
from
him
and
when
I
first
got
elected
y'all
will
not
be
surprised
to
hear
this
that
I
had
a
very
veteran
member
to
come
into
me,
not
curtis,
but
a
very
veteran
member
said
all
right.
I
Young
man,
you
got
tear
ears
and
one
mouth,
so
you
should
listen
twice
as
much
as
you
speak
now
I'll
admit.
I
fell
at
that
from
time
to
time,
but
every
single
time
I
turned
around,
I
saw
curtis
halford
listening
twice
as
much
as
he
spoke
analyzing
everything
and
he
was
that
quiet,
just
tone
of
resolve
anytime.
We
were
dealing
with
an
issue
where
he
kind
of
pulled
you
aside,
and
it
wasn't
out
there
in
the
news
it
wasn't
out
there
on
facebook.
I
It
wasn't
even
many
times
on
the
floor
or
set
in
committee,
but
it
was
that
little
bit
of
advice.
It
was
that
little
bit
of
support.
It
was
that
little
bit
of
lifting
up
that
I
appreciated,
and
I
want
you
to
know
that
your
service
to
this
state
has
made
a
massive
difference,
and
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
as
his
family
for
supporting
him
as
he
fought
hard
for
you
guys
and
for
everybody
in
his
district
in
this
state,
because
your
service
has
made
a
difference.
J
J
To
this
very
day,
I
have
watched
a
man
who
embodies
the
word
gentleman.
He
has
earned
the
respect
family.
You
need
to
know
this.
He
has
earned
the
respect
from
every
member
here,
democrat
and
republican
alike.
People
genuinely
love
him.
I'm
going
to
tell
you
a
quick
story.
A
few
weeks
ago
I
was
pulling
back
up
to
the
cumberland
I
saw
chairman
harford
walking
in.
I
thought
I'm
going
to
call
him
and
see
if
I
can
take
him
for
a
drink,
so
I
called
him
and
said:
hey:
let's
go
get
a
drink
together.
J
He
said,
jeremy
just
come
come
up
to
my
condo,
so
I
went
down
to
his
condo
and
we
sat
there
and
started
to
have
a
little
drink
together
and
I
said
curtis.
Can
you
tell
me
one
of
the
most
meaningful
things
that
have
happened
in
your
14
years
since
you've
been
here
and
I'll?
Never
forget
what
he
said,
because
I
was
anticipating
something
about
him
and
when
I
asked
him
what
is
the
most
meaningful
things
that
have
happened
to
you
since
you've
been
here,
he
brought
up
the
things
he's
done
for
his
district.
J
He
brought
up
the
people
that
he's
been
able
to
help.
He
brought
up
the
issues
that
he
was
able
to
navigate
and
fix
for
the
people
at
home.
It
was
not
about
him.
It
was
about
the
people
at
home
and
I'll.
Never
forget
that.
As
long
as
I
live,
and
it's
just
a
complete
honor
to
serve
with
you
you,
you
are
you're
an
example
to
many
of
us
of
how
to
be
a
true
southern
gentleman.
Mr
speaker,
could
we
recognize
the
chairman.
G
A
G
Cloned
to
my
hip
right
here,
she
was
working
when
I
first
started
running
she'd
work
all
day,
come
home
and
and
and
go
campaigning
with
me.
You
can't
do
this
alone.
You
got
to
have
you
got
to
have
help
from
your
family
and
your
friends
and
that's
what
I
had
as
help
from
my
family
and
my
friends,
but
not
only
my
family
and
my
friends,
but
my
constituents,
my
constituents
mean
everything
to
me.
I
tell
my
staff
almost
every
day.
What
comes
first,
their
answer
is
our
constituents
come
first
and
that's.
G
What
our
business
is
about
here
is
to
help
our
constituents
to
do
something
for
them
that
they
can't
do
for
themselves.
So
that's
what
I
made
my
my
purpose
to
be
is
to
is
to
to
be
a
help
to
my
constituents.
I
hope
I've
done
that
well,
and
I
I
I
guess
the
next
thing
I
would
say
is
that
you
know
I've
been
here
14
years.
I
never
expected
to
be
here
that
long,
it
doesn't
seem
like
14
years.
G
It's
just
kind
of
flown
by
and
it
dave
hulk
dave
was
here
when
I
came
here.
So
this
he's
one
of
the
few
that
was
here
still
here
that
when
I
came
here,
but
it's
it's
an
honor
to
stand
here
in
this
in
this
well
and
and
to
look
out
and
see
everybody
and
not
be
afraid
like
I
was
the
very
first
time
I
walked.
I
stood
up
here.

F
Joint
resolution
950,

faison
and
others,
a
resolution
to
command
representative
kent
calfi
for
his
honorable
student
service
to
the
people
of
tennessee.
As
a
member
of
the
house
of
representatives,
whereas
is
most
appropriate
that
the
members
of
this
general
assembly
should
honor
those
fellow
legislators
who
have
performed
their
duties
with
utmost
integrity
and
whose
efforts,
during
their
time
in
office,
have
been
dedicated
to
providing
thoughtful
and
exemplary
service
to
the
districts
and
to
this
great
state.
And
whereas
representative
kent
coffey
of
kingston
is
one
such
distinguished
public
servant.
F
Who
has
served
both
his
constituency
and
this
legislative
body
with
honor
and
ability.
And
whereas,
during
his
tenure
representative
calfi,
has
been
highly
influential
figure
in
the
political,
social
and
civic
life
of
roan
and
loudoun
counties.
And
he
has
served
his
constituents
in
numerous
capacities
always
working
diligently
at
his
elected
duties
and
expending
the
necessary
effort
to
understand
the
opposing
sides
of
complex
issues.
F
And
whereas
ken
cowfey
has
distinguished
himself
as
a
public
spirit
citizen
of
the
highest
order
and
is
an
exceptional
asset
to
the
good
people
of
the
37th
health
district,
whom
he
has
served.
As
a
member
of
the
108th
through
the
112th
general
assemblies
and
whereas
throughout
his
service,
ken
kaffi,
has
been
prominent
as
a
dedicated
and
well-informed
legislator
who
always
votes
his
conscience
and
wears
born
on
may
15.
F
1949
representative
calvi,
attended
in
east
tennessee
state
university
and
as
a
member
of
the
baptist
faith,
he
retired
from
oak
ridge
national
laboratories
and
has
been
a
farmer
for
many
years
and
whereas
many
accomplishments
aside
ken
calf,
is
most
grateful
for
the
love
and
support
of
his
wife,
marilyn
and
his
four
children
and
seven
grandchildren.
And
whereas
representative
ken
calf
is
holy
committed
to
the
noble
precepts
of
public
service
that
have
earned
tennessee
recognition
as
the
volunteer
state.
And
he
should
be
specially
recognized
for
housing,
exemplary
tenure
in
the
general
assembly.
F
Now,
therefore,
we
resolve
with
the
house
of
representatives
of
one
or
twelve
general
assembly
state
attendance
of
the
senate,
recurring
that
we
hereby
honor
representative
calfi
for
his
meritorious
service
to
tennessee.
As
a
member
of
the
house
of
representatives
commended
for
his
countless
contributions
and
many
good
works
in
service
of
the
citizens
of
the
32nd
house
district
and
extend
to
him
our
best
wishes
for
much
continued
success
and
happiness.
A
J
I
was
reminiscing
this
weekend
with
my
13
year
old
son
about
representative
calfi
years
ago,
when
we
were
in
war
memorial,
we're
both
on
the
second
floor
and
my
son
was
only
three
years
old
and
one
time
I
had
the
younger
kids
with
me
and
my
wife
had
went
with
the
governor's
something
going
on,
and
so
my
boys
left
my
office
unbeknownst
to
me.
I
was
busy
and
they
came
back
and
they're.
J
I
mean
literally
like
three
and
a
half
four
years
old,
with
his
little
two-year-old
brother
and
he
came
back
and
he
had
a
wad
of
chocolate
dripping
out
of
his
mouth
and
in
his
hands,
and
I'm
like
what
in
the
world
said.
Where
have
you
been,
and
we
finally
got
it
out
of
him
that
he
had
been
represented
calfi's
office
and
he
learned
something
very
specific
that
day
and
you
need
to
hear
about
it
because
we
talked
about
it.
J
While
we
were
making
s'mores
friday
night
representative
coffee
looked
at
my
three-year-old
son
and
handed
him
a
special
dark,
hershey's
chocolate
bar
and
he
said
asher.
Do
you
know
what
is
special
about
special
dark,
hershey's
chocolate
bar
and
little
ashes?
I
don't
have
a
clue
he's
like
cause,
ladies,
like
special
dark.
J
J
J
There
are
times
that
a
story
comes
out
and
makes
national
news,
and
it
endears
you
to
the
heart
of
the
people.
In
doubt,
our
friend
representative
kent
calfi
made
national
news.
If
you
google
him,
you
will
find
him.
It
was
over
everything.
An
artist
actually
drew
a
depiction,
keeping
in
the
theme
of
chocolate.
J
Our
very
own
representative,
kent
cowfey,
was
caught
drinking
chocolate
on
the
house
floor,
one
day,
not
sure
if
it
was
special
dark
chocolate,
but
we
actually
have
got
a
little
painting
of
that
with
some
signatures
from
some
of
your
friends,
and
I
will
end
with
this.
This
is
for
you,
representative,
calfine.
J
If
you
ever
just
need
a
little
bit
of
entertainment.
If
you
want
to
hear
a
story
about
something
that
happened
somewhere
in
america,
sit
down
and
talk
to
representative
calfi,
the
man
has
more
stories
than
anybody.
I
know
and
here's
the
deal
they're
fun
to
listen
to
it's.
Just
a
pure
joy,
representative,
calfi,
has
come
in
and
stayed
in
his
lane
done
his
work,
honored
the
people
of
his
district
in
an
incredible
way
and
to
his
sweet
wife,
the
silver
fox
and
his
new
son
and
his
son.
J
I
Clearly,
thank
you
speaker.
Well
kathy.
I
don't
know
what
to
add
to
that
brother,
but
come
here
and
stand
next
to
me
for
a
second
all
right,
so
we
we've
been
meaning
to
tell
you
this
for
the
better
part
of
a
decade.
We
all
know
that
maryland's,
the
one
that
really
makes
most
your
decisions.
You
realize
that
right,
oh
yeah,
like
we're
on
to
that.
We
know
you
know,
but
I
mean
the
rest
of
us
know
it
too.
She
we
and
guys,
I'm
not.
I
Joking
they've
been
a
dynamic
duo
and
those
that
were
in
the
2012
class
come
on
up
here
bo.
I
see
you
in
the
back
of
the
room
come
on
now
we
had
23
members
that
came
in
with
us
and
those
in
the
in
a
and
come
on.
Love
come
on
jason,
so
republicans
and
democrats
alike,
and
we
were
all
a
bunch
of
characters.
I
Okay
and
those
like
hawk
and
others
that
were
here,
know
what
I
mean
by
that
and
we
all
didn't
hold
a
candle
to
cafe
because,
like
jeremy
said,
I
would
sit
down
with
him
and
any
of
you
sit
down
with
him
and
you
can
tell
him
a
story
and
then
he
can
tell
you
your
story
back
to
you
six
months
from
then,
and
it
will
be
more
interesting.
Like
that's
happened
to
me.
I
I
Thanks,
mr
speaker,
thanks
to
everybody
I
had
just
got
elected
and
men
maryland
were
headed
down
here
for
the
first
time
and
a
friend
of
mine
called
me
and
told
me
about
something
somebody
put
on
facebook,
which
I
don't
look
at
facebook,
and
it
said
something
in
fact.
Well,
we
got
a
new
state
representative,
but
I
don't
have
much
confidence
in
confidence
in
him.
He
seems
a
little
slow
said.
It
looks
like
his
wife
is
the
brain's,
the
outfit
and
everybody
I
went
to
life
and
he
said
you
think,
that's
funny.
I
I
But
anyway,
people
would
say
something
about
a
politician.
I'd
say:
I'm
not
a
politician.
I'm
a
public
servant.
I've
never
done
anything
to
enrich
myself
or
hurt
anybody,
and
and
like
curtis
halford
said
nadine
and
I
and
maryland
have
been
able
to
help
a
lot
of
people
with
a
lot
of
things
and
during
the
shutdown
for
covid
lord.
I
I
don't
know
how
many
people
I'd
get
out
making
the
rounds
of
a
morning
and
then
maryland
would
be
on
the
computer
and
they
didn't
don't
didn't,
have
internet
up
in
cottontown.
So
this
is
working
together
and
I
think
we
got
everybody
that
needed
unemployment
unemployment.
So
that's
one
of
the
highlights
of
the
job
or
the
highlight
of
the
job
and
thanks
to
everybody
for
what
they
do.
I
I
know
it's
a
sacrifice
and
but
it's
time
to
go
home
to
the
farm
if
sawyer
calls
it
the
rv
truck
and
the
boat
and
just
enjoy
this
little
man
looks
like
we're.
Gonna
have
him
for
quite
a
while,
and
he
just
marilyn,
and
I
talked
and
prayed
about
running
for
this
job
for
two
months
it
took
us
about
two
minutes.
I
I
J
J
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
members.
Please
join
me
to
recognize
that
the
month
of
april
is
child
abuse,
awareness
and
prevention
month.
I
rise
to
honor
the
staff
and
volunteers
of
casa,
which
stands
for
court
appointed
special
advocacy.
These
loving
people
help
children
through
difficult
times
for
difficult
periods
of
time
in
robertson
county.
We
are
blessed
to
have
a
strong
casa
organization
and
I
think
you
do
in
your
communities.
Also.
D
I
I
L
Harassment,
mr
speaker
and
members,
I
want
to
stand
up
before
you
and
wish
a
very
dear
person
to
me
a
very,
very
happy
birthday.
She
is
my
school
board,
commissioner
school
board,
commissioner
stephanie
love.
She
is
recovering
from
a
stroke
that
she
had
a
few
weeks
ago,
a
couple
months
ago
and
she's
doing
extremely
well.
I
wanted
to
report
that,
to
you
also
but
happy
birthday
school
board,
commissioner
stephanie
love.
Thank
you.
I
I
I

Now,
if
the
public
doesn't
want
to
go
to
that
establishment,
they
can
vote
with
their
feed
and
allow
the
free
market
to
work.
Where
I
have
an
issue
is
government
stepping
in
and
saying
no,
we
don't.
You
know,
we
don't
care
that
you
own
this
property.
We
don't
care
that
you
own
this
club,
we're
not
going
to
allow
you,
allow
you
to
allow
smoking,
and
so
it's
the
rights
of
the
private
property
owner.
That
always
concerns
me
when,
when
these
types
of
legislation
come
up.
N
And
thank
you
to
my
colleague
and
we
have
talked
and
and
there's
both
sides
to
this
and
musicians
brought
this
bill
to
me
and
it
is
giving
them
an
opportunity
because
we
are
making
it
permissive
for
all
local
municipalities
to
make
that
decision.
And
so
I
was
bringing
it
to
protect
musicians
and
our
hospitality
workers.
That
are
the
only
essential
group
in
tennessee
that
do
not
have
a
guarantee
of
a
smoke-free
workplace.
And
so.
But
thank
you
to
my
colleague.
H
E
Like
other
members
here,
I
was
a
bit
hesitant
about
this
bill
at
first,
but
this
may
actually
be
one
of
the
most
impactful
bills.
Health
related
bills
that
we
passed
this
year
and
it
has
a
significant
impact
on
hospitality
workers
and
our
musicians
give
you
guys
some
statistics.
Hospitality
is
13
of
our
workforce.
They
average
about
15
and
30
cents,
an
hour
27.8
hours
per
week,
they're
likely
not
insured
and
they
have
this
exposure
to
secondhand
smoke.
Now,
let
me
let
me
tell
you
some
of
the
the
risks
for
non-smokers
with
secondhand
smoke.
E
E
We
put
restrictions
on
businesses
all
the
time
you
can't
discriminate
for
certain
things,
and
this
is
these
are
some
people
that
are
being
discriminated
against
and
their
livelihood
is
at
risk.
So
again,
this
is
one
of
the
most
impactful
health
related
bills
that
we
have
I'm
going
to
sign
on
to
your
bill
and
I'd
encourage
others
to
vote
for
it.
Thank
you.
A
A
F
C
C
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
currently
under
tennessee
board
of
psychologists
can
issue
a
temporary
license
to
an
applicant
who
has
successfully
completed
the
academic,
coursework
and
training
and
who
has
not
yet
taken
the
written
examinations.
If
an
individual
does
not
take
and
pass
the
exam
during
this
post-doctoral
year,
then
they
can
obtain
a
temporary
license.
This
bill
allows
the
applicant
to
take
the
examination
a
second
time
if
the
applicant
does
not
pass
the
examination
a
second
time,
then
the
license
is
revoked
after
30
days
of
the
second
failure.
C
A
A
H
A
H
E
E
It
was
his
last
dance
and
he
got
to
talk
about
the
impact
the
dance
instructor
had
on
his
life
that
this
was
the
place
that
he
felt
whole
that
he
felt
like.
He
could
be
himself
that
he
had
no
idea
his
high
school
experience
would
be
this
way
and
had
it
not
been
for
those
instructors
supporting
him
in
his
dance
that
it
would
have,
it
would
have
been
the
same
way
and-
and
this
bill
allows
people
to
disrespect
students
decisions.
A
H
A
A
A
A
F
A
H
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
this
bill
allows
county
governments
and
city
governments
to
actually
allow
practice.
That's
taking
place
now,
to
give
it
an
incentive
to
take
your
spouse's
health
insurance
rather
than
the
counties.
It
ends
up:
saving
local
governments
quite
a
bit
of
money.
With
that,
I
already
my
motion.
A
M
A
O
A
A
O
M
O
I
have
worked
for
over
a
year
with
a
number
of
judges,
a
number
of
attorneys
that
have
worked
on
both
sides
of
these
cases,
the
borrower
association
and,
I
believe,
I've
gotten
everyone
comfortable
and
and
very
satisfied
with
guard
rails
that
help
all
parties
in
this.
It
helps
those
constitutional
officers
obtain
the
additional
funds
if
they
need
it,
but
it
also
keeps
the
taxpayers
from
being
hammered
with
enormous
and
exorbitant
attorney
fees
and
court
costs.
M
O
M
A
A
E
A
A
A
E
Amendments
chairman
farmer,
you're
recognized,
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
members.
What
this
bill
does.
This
is
as
another
tool
and
judge's
toolbox
to
deal
with
partition
cases.
That
means
that
folks
can't
agree
what
to
do
with
property
upon
someone's
death.
They
file
a
petition
for
partition
with
the
courts
and
the
court
courts
make
the
decision
either
hey.
You
can
agree
to
sell
the
property
or
how
you
want
to
sell
it
or
the
court
sends
it
to
auction
okay.
This
would
allow
the
court
to
assign
a
value
to
certain
evaluate
that
property
in
pieces.
E
That
way,
families
could
buy
a
certain
piece
of
property
if
they're
able
to
to
keep
their
property
intact.
But
what
this,
what
this
bill
also
does.
There's
about
82
000
heirs
properties
in
the
southeast
and
what
that
is.
These
are
properties
owned
by
multiple
heirs,
maybe
maybe
10
20
30
40,
that's
been
in
the
families
for
generations.
These
are
properties,
that's
been
farmed,
that's
been
reducing
crops
and
food
for
tennesseans
and
folks,
all
across
the
country.
This
would
allow
allow
the
court
to
assign
values
and
assign
ownership
to
these
properties.
E
So
banks
can
then
lend
money
on
these
properties.
Then
these
folks
can
go
and
get
the
federal
government
passed
the
farm
act
where
you
can
go
and
get
grants.
These
folks
can
continue
to
farm
and
continue
producing
food
for
folks
inside
the
united
states
and
tennessee
in
the
southeast.
So
we
don't
have
to
rely
on
other
folks
for
food,
so
this
this
bill
does
a
lot
for
for
for
small
families,
maybe
three
or
four
hours
all
the
way
up
to
folks
with
with
80
or
100
heirs.
A
A
A
E
Are
in
this
situation
and
make
sure
that
we
protect
those
landowners
that
are,
you
know,
put
in
this
situation
and
make
sure
that
we're
not
working
with
an
unscrupulous
people
who
are
trying
to
impact
land?
That's
been
in
families
for
generations.
So
thank
you
for
this
bill.
I'm
glad
it's
gonna
pass
it's
a
good
day
for
tennesseans
good
day
for
farmers
and
landowners
across
the
state.
Thank
you.

B
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
think
I
understood
your
question
the
microphone
cut
off,
but
what
this
does.
It
makes
some
changes
to
the
human
rights
commission
a
few
of
the
changes.
First
of
all,
it's
going
to
reset
the
board.
It
will
vacate
the
board
of
the
commission
as
it
exists
now
on
september
1
of
this
year,
and
then
there
will
be
new
appointments
to
this
commission
three
by
the
speaker
of
the
senate,
three
by
the
speaker
of
the
house,
representatives
and
three
by
the
governor.
O
Nothing
prohibits
them
from
reappointing
some
of
the
same
members,
if
not
all
of
the
same
members,
it
staggers
their
terms
so
that
there's
a
it
kind
of
maintains
a
current
situation
where
they're
rolling
off
at
certain
times,
and
it
prevents
the
commission
from
forming
any
kind
of
an
internal
committee
that
has
more
authority
or
power
than
the
entire
commission
itself.
All
of
these
things
are
correcting
some
some
problems
that
we've
discovered
with
this
particular
commission.
L
O
O
O
We
gave
them
authority
and
they
have
abused
that
authority
with
a
number-
and
I
found
other
representatives
here
that
have
had
similar
experiences
in
their
own
districts
and
I
set
out
to
do
something
about
it.
I
actually
filed
this
caption
bill
this
year
in
order
to
wind
them
down.
They
came
and
visited
me
and
I
gave
them.
We
had
a
lot
long
conversation
I
gave
them
a
week
to
get
back
with
me
support
some
suggestions
on
what
could
be
changed
to
alleviate
my
concerns.
O
They
never
got
back
with
me,
so
senator
bell
and
I
sat
down
with
our
attorneys
and
we
started
drafting.
What
we
felt
would
be
a
very
reasonable
course
of
action
to
again
expose
some
some
wrongs
that
have
been
done
in
the
past
and
set
a
new
course
for
this
commission
and
give
them
a
chance
to
fulfill
their
obligation
to
the
state
that
this
legislature
gave
them
without
abusing
our
citizens.
G
M
Understand
being
frustrated
if
someone
was
accused
or
somebody
you
were
represented
as
a
accused
wrongly
of
something,
but
I
mean
we're
blowing
up
the
entire
commission,
because
you're
upset
over
that
single
instance.
So
now
we're
going
to
vacate
the
entire
commission,
have
the
whole
thing
reformed
and
redo
the
all
the
rules
of
this
commission
because
of
a
single
incidence.
O
No
sir,
maybe
you
didn't
hear
that
part.
I
have
spoken
with
many
other
representatives.
I've
spoken
with
past
commissioners
of
this
commission
and
the
consensus
has
been
that
this.
This
has
been
off
the
rails
for
some
time
and
it
needs
to
be
corrected,
and
this
is
probably
the
mildest
way
of
correcting
it
at
this
point
and
I
think
we'll
see
how
they
perform
after
this.
A
O
O
I
certainly
agree
that
is
part
of
their
mission,
if
not
all
of
it,
and
they
are
basically
our
representatives
from
the
state
level
doing
what
the
federal
government
has
set
out
to
do
and
can
do.
We
don't
even
need
this
commission.
Quite
frankly,
they
could
not
exist
tomorrow
and
federal
laws
would
still
dictate
what
goes
on
in
those
discrimination
cases.
P
P
P
P
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
doesn't
change
what
they
do
on
a
daily
basis.
It
just
changed
some
oversight
to
make
sure
that
they're
doing
what
we
charge
them
to
do.
I
would
remind
you
and
the
members
that
the
people
out
there,
according
to
our
constitution,
the
people
out
there
are
in
charge.
They
run
this
place.
They
elect
each
one
of
us,
give
us
the
honor
to
come
up
and
represent
them.
O
We
then
appoint
certain
commissions,
agencies
and
departments
to
do
the
work
of
the
legislature
when
they
get
out
of
line
and
are
not
doing
the
work.
We
told
them
to
do
that's
when
it's
our
responsibility
on
behalf
of
the
citizens,
to
step
in
and
get
it
corrected,
and
that's
what
this
bill
seeks
to
do.
Sir,.
P
Thank
you
and
I'll
respectfully
disagree
that
anyone
over
there
was
well,
not
anyone,
but
the
agency
as
a
whole
collectively
was
out
of
line.
I
think
they
fulfilled
their
mission.
I
think
they
did
a
fine
job
doing
it
and
I
hate
to
think
that
they're
going
to
be
intimidated
into
not
doing
their
job,
not
helping
employers
and
employees
to
be
better
americans
and
I'm
sorry
that
we're
we're
taking
this
heavy-handed
approach
and
hopefully
they'll
be
able
to
survive.
P
A
N
D
Mean
here's
why
I
think
this
bill
is
particularly
bad
government.
You
and
I
could
agree
or
disagree
about
the
makeup
of
the
commission,
how
it's
structured,
but
really
all
you're
doing
is
just
erasing
the
appointments
of
one
governor
and
putting
a
new
group
in
and
you've
said
here
on
the
floor.
You're
doing
it
essentially
as
retaliation
for
what
this
body
did
to
one
citizen
and
maybe
you've
heard
from
others.
D
That
was
bad
government,
and
I
think
this
is
really
bad
government
here
today,
not
just
because
of
the
particular
commission
that
you
are
silencing
and
penalizing,
but
more
broadly,
all
of
our
commissions.
This
is
a
particularly
unwise
bill
and-
and
I
think
you
stated
directly,
that
your
intent
is
exactly
the
sort
of
intent
that
we
should
not
be
exercising
on
this
floor.
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
the
last
speaker
just
incorrectly
summarized
my
words.
I
think
all
of
you
heard
what
they
were.
This
is
not
about
retaliation.
This
is
about
correction,
when
an
agency
of
this
state
does
things
that
are
contrary
to
law,
contrary
to
what
the
citizens,
freedoms
and
liberties
granted
to
them
by
god
are
infringed
upon.
That's
when
we,
as
representatives
have
to
step
in
and
say,
that's
enough,
you
are
to
go
a
different
direction.
That's
all
this
is
thank
you.
D
Well,
we
can
describe
it.
However,
we
want
you're
a
businessman.
There
are
a
lot
of
business
people
in
this
body
and
when
you've
got
an
entity
and
you've
got
board
members
and
you
go
in
and
you
throw
out
all
the
board
members
and
put
in
new
board
members,
you
can
tell
them
it's
a
correction
or
you
can
tell
them
it's
retaliation.
It
really
doesn't
matter
what
you're
doing
is
you're
eliminating
the
independent
functioning
of
that
board.
D
So
not
only
are
we
doing
that
with
probably
the
most
important
board
of
its
kind,
we
have
in
the
state
addressing
probably
our
most
consequential
issue
in
terms
of
how
it
directly
affects
tennesseans,
but
we're
also
creating
a
precedent
that
will
have
a
chilling
effect
on
all
of
these
boards,
where
we
expect
our
our
wisest
and
most
effective
citizens
to
preserve
various
rights
and
opportunities
for
tennesseans.
So,
sir,
I
have
to
say
this
is
a
particularly
misguided
bill.
I
didn't
misrepresent
what
you
said.
D
I
directly
stated
what
you
said
on
the
floor,
which
is
you're
doing
this,
because
you
don't,
like
the
decision
of
this
body.
Well
go
talk
to
the
governor.
Go
talk
to
the
appointing
authorities,
change
it
over
time.
Under
its
current
statute,
we
don't
want
to
just
wander
in
every
time
we're
disappointed
with
the
board
and
reconstituted.
O
A
A
F
F
G
M
F
G
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
What
we're
doing
is
clarifying
current
penalties
for
continuous
sexual
abuse
of
a
child,
we're
not
changing
the
penalties,
but
we're
writing.
This
section
simplified
substitute
change
of
this
amendment,
but
this
bill
makes
to
the
current
code
is
the
addition
of
two
offenses
of
definition
of
sexual
abuse
of
a
child
under
the
continuous
sexual
abuse
of
a
child.
Those
two
offenses
are
human
trafficking
for
commercial
sex
act
under
tca
39,
13
309
and
promoting
prostitution
percent
to
39
13
515.
A
A
A
M
A
A
F
A
G
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
mr
speaker.
What
senate
bill
2299?
Would
you
allow
members
of
the
general
assembly
to
have
access
to
tested
materials
that
our
students
are
taking
in
schools
so
that
we
can
make
an
appropriate
evaluation
as
to
the
effectiveness
of
the
test
and
the
rules
that
will
be
passed
by
the
department
of
education
to
protect
the
integrity
of
the
testing
system?
G
A
F
A
F
K
K
You're
recognized,
I
think,
mr
speaker,
and
this
this
bill
changes.
Certain
requirements
for
professional
counselors
seeking
licensure
allows
for
a
temporary
license
to
be
valid
for
up
to
four
years
and
that,
with
that
explanation,
that
it
deals
with
our
current
crisis
and
counselors
in
the
united
states.
I
would
renew
my
motion.
A
A
A
K
K
A
G
K
K
K
So
what
this
is
is
is
for
specific
people
that
are
under
a
certain
certain
criteria
that
makes
them
an
elevated
risk,
and
in
discussing
the
issue
with
law,
enforcement
and
and
medical
officers,
I'm
told
that
that
it's
a
very,
very
profound
when
you
use
narcan
to
correct
and
stop
an
overdose.
It's
very
profound.
K
The
people
are
have
many
side
effects.
They
have
certain
issues
that
makes
them
incapable
of
of
partying,
as
you
would
say,
in
continuation
from
what
they
had
started
after
the
overdose.
So
this
would
in
no
way
make
it
easier.
You
can
already
get
it
over
the
counter.
This
would
not
make
it
easier
not
and
would
not
make
it
more
likely
that
people
would
abuse
it
to
further
their
drug
activities.
G
G
K
A
K
So
to
my
knowledge,
typically,
law
enforcement
officers
will
try
to
keep
multiple
doses,
and
my
understanding
is
that
you
can
provide
the
pharmacies
can
provide
multiple
doses.
The
issue
is
that
when
we
question
the
pharmacies,
they
say
that
people
are
actually
not
buying
this
over
the
counter,
and
so
this
is
just
an
effort
to
try
to
provide
and
and
give
a
little
more
access
to
the
public
of
the
people
that
are
in
in
perilous
situations,
especially.
G
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
chairman
ramsey.
It
just
seems
like
to
me
that
you
know
look,
nobody
wants
anybody
to
overdose
and
lose
their
life
by
doing
opioids,
fentanyl
or
whatever
it
is,
but
the
problem
to
me
it
seems
like
they're.
What
we're
going
to
do
is
set
up
a
system
where
the
tennessee
taxpayers,
who
aren't
using
drugs
are
going
to
be
funding
free
narcan
for
folks
that
want
to
get
it
and
they're
going
to
have
it
just
in
case
they
have
an
overdose
episode.
G
K
K
The
the
narcan
treatment
is
seventy
five
dollars,
and
so
I
my
estimation,
is,
and
from
the
health
care
providers
and
law
enforcement
that
I
talked
to
it's
far
more
a
burden
to
the
taxpayers
to
have
people
using
drugs
going
into
an
emergency
situation
than
it
is
to
have
law
enforcement
or
medical
offices
or
medical
prescriptions,
are
over-the-counter
supplies
of
narcan
available,
so
expense
wise.
You
can.
You
can
see
that
there's
no
significant
expense
on
this
issue.
A
A
F
D
You,
mr
speaker,
this
is
the
bill
comes
from
secretary
of
state.
It
expands
existing
automatic
audit
provisions
on
the
law.
Three
counties
will
be
automatically
audited
at
random,
every
august
and
six
counties.
Every
november
elections
selected
by
secretary
of
state's
office.
The
staff
of
the
division
that
would
be
carrying
this
out
would
be
go
under
u.s
government
accountability,
office
training.
D
P
D
Rudd,
this
would
be
the
same.
Coordinating
representative
whitson
recently
passed
a
pilot
program.
This
is
it.
It
was
actually
in
this
legislation
word
for
word
just
in
case
this
failed
or
disappeared
somewhere
in
the
budget.
We
got
a
funding
letter
for
it,
that's
so
that
pilot
program
could
survive.
If
you
have
any
questions
on
that
representative
whitson
could
ask
that,
but
it's
the
same
exact
wording
of
the
pilot
program
we've
already
passed.
P
D
Thank
you
for
the
question.
As
you
know,
we
have
always
consistently
among
the
top
three
most
secure
elections
in
the
entire
state.
This
past
election.
We
didn't
have
any
complaints
lodged
anywhere
at
any
level.
We
have
had
a
continuing
efforts
to
stay
ahead
of
the
curve
and
make
sure
our
system
remains
secure,
and
after
this
past
election
it
brought
some
things
up
to
the
forefront
that
we
didn't
have
audit
provisions
in
the
state,
so
we're
going
to
conduct
some
random
audits.
Now
we
already
had
in
law
of
optical
scanners.
D
It
was
already
built
in
the
law
we
had
already
passed
years
ago
that
those
optical
scanners
would
automatically
have
audits.
That
remains,
but
we
didn't
have
audit
provisions
for
the
rest
of
the
machines
that
we
use,
and
this
would
be
random
audits
in
august
and
november,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
we
have
a
solid
election.
D
D
There
would
be
again,
it
would
be
three
audits
for
the
august
election
randomly
and
within
each
county,
random
precincts
would
be
chosen
randomly
and
for
the
november
election,
six
counties
would
be
randomly
selected
using
the
same
method.
Also,
if
there
was
an
election
of
a
variance
of
one
percent,
then
that
would
automatically
trigger
a
hand
account
of
at
least
three
percent
of
the
voting
precincts
in
that
county.
P
L
Thank
you,
mr
speaker
and
mr
sponsor,
thank
you
for
bringing
this
bill,
because
I
want
to
continue
to
undo
the
messaging
that
some
of
your
colleagues
try
to
portray
that
democrats
are
not
for
election
security.
We
are
absolutely
for
election
security,
and
this
is
an
election
security
bill
I'll
be
voting
for
it
don't
be
surprised.
A
A
F
E
A
E
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
is
a
local
bill
where
the
african-american
music
museum
at
fifth
and
broad
would
be
able
to
have
a
five
percent
tax
on
their
tickets,
and
I
invite
everyone
to
go
and
check
out
the
african-american
museum.
It's
an
amazing
museum
and
it's
well
worth
your
time
and
worth
the
ticket
price.
And
with
that,
mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion
representative.
A
A
A
E
Thank
you,
mr
speaker
house
bill
1667
will
create
a
tennessee
state
library
coordinator
in
the
department
of
education
coordinator,
will
assist
school
librarians
as
they
implement
the
department's
policy,
including
the
reconsideration
policy
requirements
of
our
age-appropriate
materials
act
of
2022
at
leas,
with
limited
library,
staff
or
coordinators.
With
that,
mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.
J
A
E
A
A
G
A
G
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
What
this
bill
does
is
it
just
raises
the
limit
from
ten
thousand
twenty
five
thousands
on
road
departments,
county
road
departments
that
want
to
purchase
certain
things
and
it
hasn't
been
changed
since
2005,
and
so
this
bill
would
kind
of
bring
it
into
the
inflation
and
raw
materials
today
that
we're
having
problems
funding.
So
I
renew
my
motion.
A
A
A
M
A
N
I
believe
he
would
be
up
here
carrying
this
bill
if
he
were
still
here
with
us,
but
in
his
stead.
I
would
like
to
give
you
this
explanation
for
this
bill
and
what
it
does.
It
addresses
several
factors
related
to
the
survivors
of
human
trafficking
and
especially
victims
of
commercial
sexual
exploitation
of
a
manner
minor.
N
What
we're
trying
to
do
here,
there's
a
international
group
called
shared
hope
and
they
set
the
standard
for
the
different
states
on
how
tough
their
trafficking
laws
are,
and
so
tennessee
has
been
blessed
with
the
work
of
our
tbi
law
enforcement,
and
so
many
others
to
be
number
one
most
of
the
time,
and
so
they
have
reset
their
rubric.
And
so
what
we
are
trying
to
do
is
to
update
several
of
these
sections
of
our
laws
to
help
get
us
back
into
that
number.
One
position
with
that.
I
will
renew
my
motion.
A
A
A
A
C
Thank
you,
mr
speaker
house,
bill
2152
is
the
give
hope,
expansion
act
of
2022..
This
bill
is
about
expanding
new
opportunities
to
students
from
the
ages
of
16
to
24..
Currently,
millions
of
young
adults
in
this
age
group
is
neither
working
nor
enrolled
in
school.
A
group
often
referred
to
as
opportunity
youth,
12
12.6
of
tennessee
and
16
to
24
fit
into
this
category.
C
Skills
such
as
problem
solving
project,
completion,
research,
communication,
time
management
and
critical
thinking.
The
bill
expands
the
dual
enrollment
grant
and
will
be
available
beginning
in
a
student's
freshman
year
of
high
school
house.
Bill
2152
also
expands
the
hope,
non-traditional
scholarship
eligibility
from
25
to
24..
C
C
C
This
bill
amends
the
foster
child
tuition
grant
to
align
with
foster
child
requirements
for
federal
aid
programs
and
lowers
the
age
to
13..
This
bill
also
helps
close
the
gaps
for
two
students:
expanding
access
to
tennessee,
reconnect
grants
to
students
who
are
23
years
of
age.
This
expands
eligibility
to
approximately
3
200
students.
C
C
C
C
Helped
me
keep
my
self-esteem
and
gave
me
what
I
needed
to
get
back
on
my
feet
now.
I
work
with
a
lot
of
folks
with
the
same
struggles,
and
many
of
them
doesn't
have
they
don't
have
a
trade,
they
don't
have
something
to
help
them
feel
better
about
their
sales,
and
it's
a
lot
tougher
for
them.
This
bill
will
help
fill
the
gap
with
students
that
needs
it
the
most.
I
want
to
thank
the
governor
for
this
legislation
and
I
want
to
thank
you
all
with
that.
Mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.
L
Thank
you,
mr
speaker
and
and
representative
hicks,
thank
you
for
being
so
real
about
life
and
and
so
honest
about
how
your
life
and
the
roads
that
that
you've
had
to
travel
have
been.
This
is
a
great
bill.
You've
been,
I
got
to
give
it
to
you.
You're,
like
an
all-star
to
me.
You've
been
bringing
some
really
really
good
legislation
this
year.
I
really
appreciate
what
you're
doing
and
thank
you
again
for
bringing
the
legislation.
J
L
Wanted
to
thank
the
sponsor
for
what
parkerson
said
just
being
real
the
other
day.
We
showed
that
movie
hope
lives
in
hohenwald
and
it
really
was
about
the
drug
problem
and
turning
lives
around,
and
you
came
up
here
and
gave
an
inspiring
speech
to
some
of
these
guys
who
had
been
in
jail
and
turned
their
life
around,
and
they
wasn't
expecting
that
hear
that
from
a
state
lawmaker.
But
just
three
weeks
ago
a
young
boy
was
stabbed
and
murdered
had
done
some
construction.
For
me,
I
think
he
had
a
drug
problem.
L
Couldn't
beat
it
seen
another
boy
about
two
years
ago:
overdose
fentanyl
we
had
another
overdose
at
sonic
young
student
passed
away.
I
think
this
conversation
we've
had
tonight.
This
piece
of
legislation
is
probably
one
of
the
most
important
bills
that
we'll
probably
pass
this
year.
So
going
back
to
what
good
friend
from
shelby
county
said.
Thank
you
for
keeping
it
real.
Sir
appreciate
your
your
bill.
A
A
G
G
G
At
that
point
in
time
I
can
receive
severe
muscle
spasms,
that's
really
stressful.
On
my
body.
It
leads
to
insomnia,
I'm
exhausted,
all
conventional
treatments
that
are
out
there.
I
don't
smoke
marijuana,
I
don't
get
high,
that's
not!
The
intentions
of
this
law
enforcement
is
deferred
on
this
bill
and
with
that
explanation,
mr
speaker,
I
I
renew
my
motion.
L
L
I'd
hope
that
you've
had
unanimous
support
on
this
particular
bill
and
not
we
just
have
to
keep
fighting
to
make
sure
we
can
allow
our
people
to
do
what's
necessary
to
take
care
of
themselves.
Take
care
of
children,
take
care
of
their
families,
and
it's
scientifically
been
proven
that
this
helps
with
the
pain
it
helps.
With
some
of
the
things
that's
going
on
with
the
cancer
patient.
It
helps
for
a
lot
of
conditions
that
we
have
in
this
country
and
we
need
to
be
the
people.
Many
times
are
ahead
of
us.
L
G
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
just
wanted
to
agree
with
representative
towns.
I
think
you're,
a
courageous
individual.
You
come
here
as
much
as
we
do
and
you
have
more
of
a
challenge
than
we
do
the
substance
that
we're
talking
about
any
substance
that
we
use
and
everything
that
god
has
made
on
his
green
earth.
He
made
it
to
benefit
us.
G
G
O
O
O
E
O
G
O
G
A
O
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
When
folks
in
this
state
go
to
the
medicine
cabinet,
they've
got
labels,
they've
got
prescriptions
for
things
that
are
medicinal
and
what
you're
proposing
is
expanding
the
ability
for
folks
to
use
something
for
medicinal
purposes
that
has
not
been
proven.
That
has
not
been
legalized
even
on
a
federal
level.
O
If
someone
want
to
go
down
the
avenue
of
even
proposing
to
legalize
hemp
products
that
have
been
concentrated
and
work
on
the
percentages
for
thc,
if
there's
proof
that
that
does
help
medicinal
qualities
of
the
cannabis
oil,
then
that
might
be
a
different
discussion.
But
what
we're
doing
here,
what
you're
asking
us
to
do
is
to
approve
an
expansion
of
again
a
product
that
is
federally
illegal
and
I
just
can't
support
it.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
G
Representative,
thank
you.
I
understand
that,
but
the
state
and
the
limited
scope
the
state
has
passed
this.
We're
going
to
add
this
diagnosis
to
that
and
I'm
going
to
go
and
say
because
I'm
sure
you're
a
firm
believer
in
the
10th
amendment.
So
when
the
tennessee
wants
to
do
it,
we
should
give
it
a
shot.

You,
mr
speaker,
this
bill
prohibits
males
from
participating
in
public
secondary
and
higher
education
sports
that
are
designated
for
females.
It
applies
to
middle
school,
high
school
and
post-secondary
school
levels.
In
short,
the
new
emphasis
is
intercollegiate.
Teams
designated
for
females,
women
or
girls
will
not.
J
Be
open
to
students
of
the
biological
male
sex,
it
does
not
apply
to
co-ed
or
mixed
sports.
The
determination
of
sex
is
is,
as
listed
on,
the
student's
original
birth
certificate,
injunctive
relief
and
court
cost
relief
are
found
within
this.
This
bill,
student,
guardian,
the
student
and
or
guardian,
will
be
reimbursed
for
the
court
cost
and
attorney
fees.
If
responsibility
is
found
to
be
on
the
school's
part
for
that's
forgetting
the
injunction.
E
J
E
A
A
A
A
K
I
A
J
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
infrastructure
which
includes
pipelines,
terminals
and
pump
stations
are
essential
to
ensure
affordable,
reliable
and
sustainable
fuel
and
industrial
materials
are
available
to
support
tennessee's
economy
and
the
day-to-day
demand
to
meet
local
and
state
transportation
and
manufacturing
needs.
This
infrastructure
extends
well
beyond
the
boundaries
of
any
single
local
government.
J
A
J
J
Amendment
number
one
prevents
a
single
government,
it's
basically
a
preemption
bill
that
does
not
allow
governments
to
prohibit
the
delivery
mechanism
of
any
type
for
fossil
fuels.
Energy
delivery
systems
typically
are
linear
in
nature
nature.
This
would
allow
one
government,
one
local
political
subdivision,
may
express
their
beliefs
and
views
and
basically
hinder
another.
So
what
this
does
is
this
sets
guidelines
for
that
delivery
system.
Let
me
tell
you
what
it
doesn't
do.
J
What
it
does
it'll
also
allows
for
wellhead
protection
and
environmental
concerns
to
be
addressed.
It
just
basically
stops
a
local
government
from
prohibiting
a
delivery
mechanism
for
energy.
It
tells
them
as
opposed
to
you
saying
this
can't
exist
anywhere.
It
says
this
is
where
it
will
exist
and
how
it
will
exist.
L
J
Is
that
a
I
didn't?
I
didn't
reflect
that.
I
didn't
understand
that
to
be
a
question.
But
again,
if
you'd
like
me
to
represent
minor
I'll,
be
happy
to
read
you
what
the
what
is
not
covered
by
this
bill,
it
does
not
prevent
or
preempt
and
I'll
skip
some
of
them,
but
I'll
read
the
ones
I
think
are
critical
to
the
discussion.
J
What
it
does
is
it
says
you've
got
to
provide
a
place
for
these
to
exist
in
your
community,
because
they're
important
not
only
to
your
community
to
another
community.
You
just
can't
outlaw,
but
you
can,
whether
you
put
it
under
a
conditional
use
permit
or
whatever
process
you
use
in
your
zoning
ordinances.
You
can
still
influence
and
have
a
say
over.
L
P
A
N
A
A
N
B
All
right
all
right!
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This.
This
is
a
simple
little
amendment.
In
fact,
I
had
this
as
a
bill
this
year
and
it
got
a
majority
vote
in
the
subcommittee,
but
it
was
not
allowed
to
come
out
of
the
subcommittee
with
a
majority
vote,
unlike
other
bills,
that
had
the
same
vote
in
that
subcommittee
that
had
lost
the
previous
year.
B
B
It
abolishes
the
voucher
bill.
It
corrects
something
that
we've
been
paying
for
will
continue
to
pay
for
in
this
state,
hopefully
greatly
some
will
pay
greatly
for
for
that
bill,
but
this
is
a
simple
little
amendment
that
just
abolishes
the
voucher
bill,
and
maybe
we
can
start
a
clean
slate
and
start
cleaning
up
some
things
in
this
state
and
make
things
right
again.
Thank
you.
G
G
Kids
that
suffer
from
dyslexia.
I
had
folks
in
my
district-
that's
not
political
reach
out
to
me
and
say:
can
you
support
this
legislation?
My
child
suffers
from
this
and
you
know
the
standard
idea
of
a
classroom
setting
in
our
public
schools
may
not
be
the
most
appropriate
place.
They
have
no
other
alternative,
no
other
alternative.
So
I
think
it's
important
that
we
as
a
state
use
every
single
tool
that
we
can
to
make
sure
those
kids,
the
ones
that
are
most
vulnerable
succeed
in
the
classroom.
G
A
B
B
What
he's
speaking
of
is
the
is,
I
guess,
the
the
vouchers
for
children
that
no
one
uses
this
voucher
bill,
because
federal
law
grants
these
children
a
whole
lot
more
rights
and
benefits
than
this
bill.
Would
this
bill
that
before
you
I
mean
it's
cutting
the
cutting
the
benefits
to
children
with
dyslexia
or
the
other
other
things
that
are
in
that
bill
way
way
down?
So
no
parent
would
even
choose
that,
but
my
bill
is
more
or
less
an
ethics
bill
trying
to
clean
up
a
little
corruption.
B
A
Permanent

Every

we
appropriate
113
million
dollars
to
the
ben
actually
scholarship
fund,
and
this
is
contingent
on
that
being
appropriated
every
year.
Currently,
113
million
is
appropriated,
103
millions
used

A
A
A
A
F
K
A
K
K
I've
more
I've
studied
this
bill.
The
more
it's
bothered
me
I
mean
tennessee's
got
a
200-year
history
of
electing
judges,
so
I'm
not
sure
why
we
need
this
legislation
at
this
date.
I'm
sure
we've
elected,
good
attorneys
that
have
turned
become
bad
judges
and
bad
attorneys
has
probably
become
good
judges.
K
M
General
kershaw,
thank
you,
mr
speaker.
No,
and
I
think
it's
a
good
time
we're
on
amendment
number
five,
but
the
amendment
rewrites
the
bill
so
I'll
just
explain
what
we're
doing
here.
If
that's
okay,
this
simply
says
that
judges
must
not
be
authorized.
Excuse
me,
the
ch
makes
changes
to
the
qualifications
for
judges
and
says
they
must
not
be
authorized
practice
law
in
tennessee
be
in
good
standing
with
the
board
of
professional
responsibility
and
not
be
publicly
censured,
suspended
or
disbarred
within
10
years
for
conduct
involving
dishonesty
fraud,
deceit
or
misrepresentation.
M
So
this
is
saying
that
if
you've
been
found
to
have
been
dishonest,
fraudulent,
deceptive
or
misrep
or
or
misrepresenting
yourself,
then
you
have
to
take
a
10-year
timeout
before
you
can
run
for
judge
it
doesn't
say:
you're
barred
from
being
a
judge
forever.
It
says
that
if
you've
been
convicted
of
one
of
those
things
by
the
board
of
professional
responsibility,
then
you
have
10
years
before
you
can
run
for
judge
it
doesn't
take
effect
until
october
1,
so
it
doesn't
impact
anybody
who's
on
the

We
don't
want
a
dishonest
person
wearing
a
black
robe.
I
wouldn't
want
a
dishonest
person
trying
to
make
a
determination
on
something.
That's
happened
in
my
personal
life
if
I've
been
charged
with
a
crime.
So
what
we're
saying
is
this
from
this
point
forward?
If
you've
been
publicly
censured
because
you're
dishonest,
you
can't
tell
the
truth,
you
can't
run
for
judge.
That's
what
we're
saying.
I
know
a
lot
of
people
are
saying:
well,
why
don't
whiteness
applying
to
district
attorneys,
so
I
didn't
apply
to
public
defenders.
E
Why
not
other
things
well,
we're
taking
it
one
step
at
a
time.
This
applies
us
to
judges
from
this
point
forward
and
I
wouldn't
mind
it
taking
effect
today
to
be
clearly
honest
with
you,
but
to
be
fair
to
those
who
spent
money
on
elections
today,
it's
gonna
happen
two
weeks
from
now
we're
gonna
have
this
apply
october,
the
first,
but
I
want
to
thank
you
for
bringing
this
legislation,
because
I
want
the.
I
want
everybody
to
know
who's,
watching
that
we're
sending
a
clear
message
that
we
don't.

It

nice
to

that
our
responsibilities

duties
to
report
things
that
we
see
and
learning
that
if
we
have
a
colleague
who
wants
to
be
called
by
different
pronouns,
we
need
to
do
that
or
we
will
be
reported
and
will
be
otherwise
we
will
be
known
to
be
creating
a
toxic
work
environment
if
we
don't
call
people
the
things
that
they
want
to
be
called
as
adults.
I
appreciate
that
training
today.
