teach
commitment

our
young
students
and
athletes
and
they
are
a
source
of
achievement
and
well-being
in
our
society.
Basketball
is
special.
The
way
I
look
at
it,
it's
a
sport
that
is
beyond
me,
but
the
way
I
see
it
it
is,
it
gives
you
a
chance
to
make
a
good
play
every
30
or
40
seconds,
and
how
cool

very
proud
to
be
the
state

We
have
worked
really
really
hard.
These
young

have
put
a
lot
of
time
and
effort
into
this
accomplishment

families.
C
H

I
E
House
joint
resolution
999
by
chairman,
ramsey
and
others
of
resolution
honor
and
command
blount
county
blunt
memorial
hospital
on
the
occasion
of
its
75th
anniversary.
Whereas
it
is
the
privilege
of
this
general
assembly
to
recognize
those
premier,
medical
facilities
that
have
compassionately
and
capably
serve.
The
citizens
of
this
state
for
generations.
And
whereas
blunt
memorial,
hospital
in
maryville
is
one
such
entity,
which
is
celebrating
its
75th
anniversary
this
year,
marking
three
quarters
of
a
century
and
providing
the
highest
quality
health
care
to
all
those
who
cross
its
threshold.
E
And
whereas
the
hospital
owes
its
existence
to
three
local
community
leaders
who
began
working
together
to
investigate
the
feasibility
of
a
blunt
county-based
hospital
in
the
late
1930s
and
early
1940s,
as
well
as
to
the
community
members
who
came
together
to
provide
the
funds.
Land,
labor
and
other
resources
needed
to
build
a
hospital
from
blunt
county
during
the
economically
challenged
post-war
era.
And
whereas
that
dream
of
a
local
hospital
would
come
true.
E
On
july
24
1947,
the
new
facility
was
named
blood
memorial
hospital
in
honor
of
blunt
countians,
who
have
died
in
the
line
of
duty.
Those
missing
in
action
and
those
who
have
served
and
continued
to
serve
our
country
and
whereas,
throughout
its
75
year,
history,
blood
memorial
hospital,
has
sports
strong
relationships
with
its
communities
working
diligently
to
fulfill
its
mission,
to
continuously
improve
the
health
and
well-being
of
the
entire
community
and
to
work
in
partnership
with
others
who
share
its
core
values
of
hospitality,
excellence,
advocacy
leadership
and
stewardship.
E
And
whereas
blunt
memorial
is
not
simply
caring
for
its
communities
today,
but
also
working
to
ensure
that
the
future
of
healthcare
by
encouraging
and
supporting
workforce
development
efforts,
specifically
for
health
related
careers
and
whereas
the
hospital's
operations
and
work
in
its
communities
have
been
heavily
challenged
by
the
coba
19
pandemic.
Since
march
2020.
E
However,
its
leadership
has
not
wavered
but
as
instead
carried
blunt
county
through
this
first
pandemic
in
more
than
100
years,
whereas
it
is
appropriate
that
we
pause
to
honor
blunt
memorial,
hospital's,
rich
history,
its
dedication
to
delivering
high
quality
healthcare
close
to
home
and
its
commitment
to
ensuring
the
future
of
healthcare.
On
the
occasion
of
its
75th
anniversary.
E
Now,
therefore,
being
resolved
with
the
house
of
representatives
of
one
or
twelve
general
assembly
state
attendance,
instead
of
concurring
that
we
honor
and
commend
the
employees,
physicians,
volunteers
and
board
members
of
blunt
memorial
hospital
on
the
celebration
of
its
75th
anniversary,
saluting
those
who
have
given
their
time
and
talents
throughout
the
hospital's
history
to
support
the
overall
health
of
those
in
and
around
the
hospital's
communities.
Making
blood
county
a
special
place
in
which
to
live,
work
and
play.
I
Representative
ramsey,
you
are
recognized,
and
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
we're
here
today
in
honor
of
one
hospital,
but
I
think
we
need
to
honor
all
of
our
local
hospitals
today
and
anybody
that
that
has
that
feeling
has
a
local
hospital
which
there
are
very
few
government.
Hospitals
left
welcome
to
join
us
up
here.
Typically,
hospitals
are
among
the
top
four
employers
of
any
community,
a
huge
economic
generator
for
our
communities
without
adequate
health
care.
I
You
can't
recruit
commerce
and
we're
here
to
honor
today,
specifically
blount
county's
blunt
memorial
hospital
on
their
75th
year
of
service,
we're
we're
honored
today
to
have
jane
nelson.
The
assistant
administrator
of
blunt
memorial
hospital
she's,
been
in
her
position
since
1985.
I
will
ask
jane
in
a
moment
to
say
a
few
kind
words
to
us.
First
I'll
recognize,
representative
moon
and
art
of
senator
swann.
If
he
comes
in,
there
are
two
more

the
blount
county
citizens
that
are
have
been
kept
alive.
All
these
years
by
our
lovely

non-traditional

from
cookville.
They

the
quintessential
example

the
american

B
B
A
B
B
D
L
A
moment
of
silence
for
my
predecessor,
who
spent
a
good
deal
of
his
life
in
this
building
beginning
in
the
1950s,
and
this
gentleman
helped
so
many
people
in
this
room
and
across
the
state
of
tennessee
a
genuinely
nice
decent
human
being,
and
I
won't
go
too
deep
in
the
details.
But
he
was
a
commissioner
of
banking
back
when
banking
and
insurance
was
still
together
and
he
had
a
life
that
somebody
should
write
a
book
about.
But
he's
had
an
impact
on
you,
mr
speaker,
and
on
so
many
people
in
this
room.
L
Let's
just
take
a
moment
to
remember
somebody
who
wasn't
this
successful
financially
in
the
business
world,
but
he
was
a
nice
person
to
poor
folks,
rich
folks,
middle
class
folks,
and
I
wish
we
had
more
like
him,
but
with
that
god
rest
his
soul.
And
I
know
I
miss
him
already
and
it's
miller

von
oakley.

D
A
Chairman
farmer,
you're
recognized
famous
speaker,
move
to
adopt
jeremiah's
adoption.
Amendment
number
one
probably
seconded
any
discussion
on
the
amendment
saying
no
and
all
those
in
favor
amendment
number
one
say:
aye
aye,
all
those
folks
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it.
You
adopted
next
amendment,
mr
clerk,
mr.
E
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
what
this
bill
does
it
lowers
the
age
in
this
state
for
an
individual
to
carry
a
handgun
to
protect
themselves
from
the
age
of
21
to
the
age
of
18.,
the
same
age
that
is
required
in
tca
code
581104
for
that
member
of
the
society
to
be
a
member
of
the
militia
of
this
state.
With
that,
mr
speaker,
I
renew
my
motion.
N
L
L
More
weapons
all,
but
I
do
think
maybe
we
might
be
giving
some
people
legality
to
caring
guns
that
right
now
don't
deserve
it,
because
once
this
bill
passed,
those
people
who
are
not
responsible
with
the
weapon
will
still
have
a
legal
right
to
carry
it.
And
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
on
record.
I'm
not
I'm
not
standing
against
your
legislation
as
much
as
I'm
standing
to
just
say.
I
think
maybe
this
could
give
somebody
an
opportunity
to
carry
it
legally
when
they
really
are
not
responsible
with
it.
L
D
Represent
todd,
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
I
appreciate
those
comments,
and
certainly
there
are
members
of
our
society
that
are
prohibited
already
from
carrying
firearms,
and
that
doesn't
change
in
this
legislation
that
those
restrictions
will
still
be
there.
All
this
is
doing
is
removing
infringements
on
your
second
amendment
rights
provided
by
god,
first
and
by
our
constitution,
that
you
have
to
protect
yourself,
and
this
is
for
law-abiding
citizens
we're
not
passing
legislation
for
criminals.
So
I
appreciate
your
comments.
L
L
D
Represent
time,
thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I'm
not
sure
I
understand
the
question,
but
we
trust
18
year
olds
in
the
military
right
now.
We
trust
18
year
olds
at
the
ballot
box
right
now,
and
we
trust
18
year
olds
right
now
to
possess
a
firearm
of
any
kind,
a
handgun
or
long
gun
already
in
their
homes
and
their
vehicles.
A
L
L
D
Represent
todd.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
bill
doesn't
address
whether
I
think
there
are
differences
or
not.
This
is
strictly
a
constitutional
question.
If
your
oath
of
office,
like
mine,
binds
you
to
protect
the
rights
and
the
freedoms
of
citizens
of
this
state
based
on
the
constitution
of
the
united
states
and
the
constitution
of
the
state
of
tennessee,
this
gets
our
law
back
into
line
with
what
that
constitution
says
plain
and
simple.
18
year
olds
are
able
to
vote.
Eighteen-Year-Olds
are
considered
mature
adults
in
this
country
and
are
already
allowed
to
possess
these
same
weapons.
L
Todd
again,
18
military,
there's
training.
I
get
that.
I
support
that
that's
training,
but
what
this
bill
is
doing
would
do
is
to
open
that
up
to
every
individual
in
this
state,
and
do
you
know
that
right
now,
statistics
are
showing
the
number
of
killings
between
18
and
30
in
this
state.
That
number
is
increasing
because
those
individuals
have
greater
access
to
weapons
and,
as
it
was
mentioned
earlier
by
representing
shaw,
those
numbers
are
there.
What
we
will
do
with
this
bill
is
make
it
a
wide
open
any
and
everybody
at
18.
L
You
can
carry
a
weapon,
and
I
promise
you,
the
number
of
individuals
that
are
going
to
be
adversely
impacted
by
this
18s
and
above
is
going
to
increase
extranomically.
So
I
think
this
is
a
bad
idea.
Let's
keep
it
at
18
military,
you
can.
You
can
carry
your
weapons
but
now
you're
opening
it
up
to
everyone.
That's
18
in
this
state,
and
I
think
that
is
a
slippery
slope
and
we
will
see
the
negative
results
of
this
pretty
soon
in
the
future.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
D
Representative,
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
the
statistics
that
are
quoted.
There
are
not
statistics,
as
he
stated
that
are
perpetrators.
These
are
individuals
that
are
killed,
and
I
would
argue
that
those
that
are
being
killed
in
that
age
group
are
not
able
to
protect
themselves
legally
and
they
would
be
if
you
vote
for
this
bill
and
restore
their
rights
under
the
constitution.
N
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
and
mr
sponsor
the
the
comments,
though,
or
the
questions
that
I'm
going
to
mention.
You
know
we've
already
talked
about
it,
so
this
is
not.
This
is
not
new
to
you.
I
I
was
I
was.
This
is
one
we
hadn't
talked
about
though,
but
I
was
interested
in
and,
and
I
understand
I
promise
you-
I
understand
your
position
constitutionally.
N
D
D
massachusetts,
16
to
15.,
connecticut,
16
to
45,
and
I
could
go
on
so
at
that
time
they
were
looking
for
every
able-bodied
person
and
they
trusted
even
16
year
olds.
All
I'm
doing
is
restoring
the
rights
of
18
to
20
year
olds
that
under
this
constitution,
as
you
stated,
we
all
know
what
it
says
and
18
year
olds
are
considered
adults
for
voting
for
joining
the
military
and
many
other
things
in
this
country
already
and
that's
all
this
does
is
restore
their
rights,
removes
those
infringements
from
their
rights.
N
You
thank
you,
mr
speaker.
It
just
anywhere
was
there
anywhere
and
I'm
not
trying
to
give
you
a
hard
time,
I'm
just
trying
to
be
clear
too,
for
myself
was
there
anywhere
in
there
in
the
constitution
that
spoke
to
age?
As
a
matter
of
fact,
can
you
read
that
section
of
the
constitution
to
us
that
speaks
to
the
right
to
bear
arms.
D
D
Legally,
technically,
they
are
both
under
the
u.s
constitution
and
the
constitution
of
the
state
of
tennessee.
As
I
stated
a
few
minutes
ago,
tca
code,
58
104.
The
militia
shall
consist
of
all
able-bodied
male
citizens
who
are
residents
of
this
state
and
between
18
and
45
years
of
age
and
who
are
not
members
of
the
army
or
navy,
as
here
and
above
defined,
and
who
may
not
otherwise
be
exempted
by
the
laws
of
this
state
or
united
states
period.
N
N
Thank
you
and
mr
speaker,
so
so,
let's,
let's
so,
I'm
not
trying
to
be
antagonistic.
I'm
trying
to
try
to
make
a
point.
I
I
did
ask
about
the
what
the
amendment
what
the
constitution
said
and
about
and
what
the
definition
of
a
militia
was
because
the
constitution
says
that
for
a
well-regulated
militia,
the
right
to
bear
arms
shall
not
be
infringed.
And
if
we
say
a
well-regulated
militia
is
defined
as
men
from
18
to
45,
then
constitutionally.
That
doesn't
include
women
and
it
doesn't
include
men
over
45
for
under
that
constitutional
right.
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Supreme
court's
case
supreme
court
case
dc
versus
heller,
says
the
right
of
the
whole
people
old
and
young
men,
women
and
boys,
and
not
militia
only
to
keep
and
bear
arms
of
every
description
and
not
such
merely
as
are
used
by
the
militia
shall
not
be
infringed
curtailed
or
broken
in
upon,
in
the
smallest
degree,
and
all
this
for
the
important
end
to
be
attained.
The
rearing
up
and
qualifying
a
well-regulated
militia
so
vitally
necessary
to
the
security
of
a
free
state.
N
N
I
think
I
might
have
shot
somebody
else's
target
right
because,
because
I
still
I
still
sucked
at
shooting
and
but
I
eventually
became
a
an
expert
shooter
in
the
marine
corps
right
and
and
carried
that
expert
badge,
but
I
was
well
trained
in
gun
safety
and
I
and
I
think
about
I
think,
about
the
18
year
olds.
That's
this.
N
You
know
in
my
city
and
in
our
county-
and
I
think
this
scenario
just
played
through
my
head
for
some
reason:
right,
pull
up
at
a
gas
station
and
now
the
18
year
old,
untrained
individuals
are
walking
around
with
a
gun,
with
no
check.
No
background
check,
absolutely
nothing,
no
back
background
checks
at
all,
and
I
and
I
and
I,
and
I
think
about
that,
and
then
I
also
think
about.
N
I
had
been
through
training
at
that
point,
but
I
was
still
impulsive
ready
to
fight
especially
navy,
guys
right,
just
ready
to
fight
on
demand,
and
you
know
find
a
couple
of
air
force,
guys
ready
to
fight,
and
but
I
was
impulsive
because
I
was
young
right
and
I
look
at
you
know
where
we
are
in
our
county
now
and
there's
nothing
nothing
in
this
legislation
that
is
going
to
allow
for
these
individuals.
That's
carrying
these
guns
to
have
background
check.
Yes,
according
to
the
constitution,
we
we
had
the
right
to
bear
arms.
N
N
I
would
fully
support
your
bill
if
we
could
only
just
require
the
18
to
21
year
olds
to
get
gun
safety
training
if
they
want
to
carry
and
then
when
they
hit
21
it
goes
into
the
open,
carry
law,
they
don't
even
have
to
have
it,
and
so
I
just
thought
that
was
you
know
sensible
for
us
to
do,
and,
and
and
you
know
I
don't
know
if
it's
too
late
for
you
to
consider
that.
But
I
really
wish
that
you
would.
D
Todd
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
I
appreciate
the
speaker's
kind
comments
and
supportive
comments,
even
in
there
of
the
right
to
keep
and
bear
arms,
and
I
also
know
that
the
statement
I
read
earlier
repeating
what
the
second
amendment
says:
that's
in
the
constitution
that
you
and
I
both
have
an
oath
to
uphold,
does
not
have
a,
but
after
the
end
of
it
it
has
a
period
it
doesn't
say,
but
we
ought
to
do
this.
We
ought
to
do
that.
Supreme
court
has
ruled.
This
is
plain
and
simple:
it's
plain
english!
That's
all!
N
N
In
most
cases,
those
that
are
not
in
the
military
might
not
be
there.
My
drill
instructors
matured
me
and
they
matured
me
fast
in
three
months,
but
these
the
other
individuals
that
have
not
been
through
that
situation
through
a
boot
camp,
a
renewing
of
their
minds
of
training,
don't
have
the
same,
that
same
background
and
structure
that
I
had,
and
so
you
know
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
got
that
on
the
record
and
thank
you
for
your
for
your
time.
O
Thank
you,
speaker,
sexton,
and
to
the
sponsor
we
we've
gone
round
around
on
this.
I'm
just
going
to
put
a
few
points
on
the
record
with
your
cooperation
number
one
is
I'm
sure
that
you're
aware
of
the
medical
research
and
the
findings
and
this
body
of
study
a
mile
wide
mile
deep
that
suggests
that
the
prefrontal
cortex
of
the
brain,
the
part
that's
responsible
for
controlling
compulsive
behavior,
is
not
fully
developed
until
25-ish.
D
O
O
O
O
We
have
better
weapons,
we
have
more
weapons
than
any
other
country
on
the
face
of
this
earth,
so
we
need
to
consider
that
we
also
need
to
consider
that
there
are
advancements
in
science
and
the
medical
research
is
real.
It
tells
us
that
the
young
folks
who
are
18
to
25
do
not
have
a
mature
brain
and
that
accounts
for
the
the
impulsive
actions
that
quite
often
result
in
crime
and
thus
the
disproportionate
number
of
young
folks
who
not
only
you
said
earlier.
O
There
were
numbers
that
spoke
to
the
number
of
homicides,
but
that's
on
both
sides,
that's
both
from
the
perpetrator
and
from
the
victim
and
the
same
thing
with
suicides.
Young
folks
are
disproportionately
represented
there,
young
folks,
who
act
on
impulse
and
then
find
themselves
unable
to
unring
that
bail.
But
I
thank
you
for
your
patience,
sir,
and
I
know
your
intentions
are
noble,
but
I
disagree
with
your
bill.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Speaker.
N
N
What
I
think
we
have
to
do
is
this
always
employ
the
wisdom
of
the
leadership.
Wisdom.
That's
a
word
that
does
not
get
enough
attention
in
my
opinion,
as
it
relates
to
things
that
we
do
in
this
country
in
this
world,
your
grandmother
had
wisdom,
your
grandpa
had
wisdom,
your
great-grandmother
had
wisdom,
they
had
wisdom
because
we
can
do
it
doesn't
mean
we
should
all
the
time
now,
I'm
coming
from
a
perspective
of
supporting
the
second
amendment
would
never
and
go
straight
to
the
wall
fighting
forward,
because
I
believe
in
the
right
to
bear
arms.
N
No
substitute
there
was
a
time
when
no,
we
didn't
need
any
license
to
carry
in
this
country,
but
I
believe,
as
things
have
changed,
that
we
should
support
the
second
amendment
at
all
costs.
We
really
should
what
I'm
hearing
is
from
the
community
when
we
did
our
deal
where
there's
no
background
checks,
constitutional
carry
so
to
speak.
The
community
rose
up
in
all
spectrums
of
the
community
concerned
about
young
people.
Young
people
today
are
not
like
they
were
when
you
come
along,
they're
unraised
they're,
not
disciplined
they're,
emotional
and
when
you're
18
years
old.
N
I
know
this.
All
the
men
have
probably
been
through
this
you're
trying
to
impress
a
girl
you're
trying
to
impress
somebody
how
bad
you
are.
How
bulletproof
you
are,
how
tough
you
are.
That's,
kids,
okay,
a
18
year
old,
is
a
kid
to
you,
because
you're
old
enough
to
be
his
daddy,
even
though
he's
illegally
he's
18.
But
he's
a
kid
he's
a
kid
to
me.
N
They
don't
back
down
they're
silly.
They
mess
their
lies
up
in
a
split
second
judgment.
For
the
rest
of
their
lives,
they're
messed
up,
get
to
be
25
years
old,
35
years,
think
about
it
and
what
we're
wishing
for
at
that
time,
I
wish
to
god.
I
had
another
opportunity,
you
can't
rewind
life,
it's
done
and
it
could
be
your
friend.
It
could
be
an
accident,
it
could
be
anybody
and
I'm
not
against
the
bill
per
se.
N
N
We
need
to
really
be
very,
very
careful
how
we
allow
them
to
have
that
kind
of
killing
power
in
their
hands,
and
I
wish
there
was
some
kind
of
way
that
we
could
accomplish
all.
I
wish
also,
mr
representative,
that
we
could
track
these
numbers
and
see
what
happens
with
these
numbers
with
our
young
people.
We
want
to
trust
our
young
people.
We
want
them
to
be
able
to
protect
themselves,
but
if
our
society
is
so
violent,
where
young
people
have
to
carry
guns
everywhere,
they
go.
That
means
there's
an
indictment
on
the
wrong
people.
N
We've
not
done
our
job
somewhere
and
I
know,
there's
violence
in
the
world.
Look
what's
happening
over
in
ukraine,
unprovoked
reasons.
I
know
the
human
heart
creates
a
lot
of
conditions,
but
we
have
to
figure
out
how
to
solve
these
problems
with
the
wisdom
of
the
ages.
And
what
I'm
going
to
ask
is
that
at
some
point
we
look
at
tracking
this
to
see
if
those
numbers
are
going
in
the
wrong
direction.
We
want
to
support
the
constitution.
We
certainly
want
to
support
the
second
amendment
right.
I
D
Represent
time,
I
really
don't
know
why
that
restriction
was
put
into
that
bill.
I
think
again
what
I'm
trying
to
do
here
is
remove
infringements
that
are
granted
by
god,
first
and
by
our
constitution.
Second,
to
18
to
20
year
olds
that
currently
have
those
infringements
placed
on
them
represent
mckenzie.
I
D
I
I
I
think
the
military
gets
it
the
military,
they
have
done
a
lot
of
research
and
they
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
they've
done
over
the
period
of
of
their
existence
and
organization
in
vetting
people.
They
pretty
much
have
a
come
one
come
out,
but
there's
a
vetting
process
that
that
happens
in
and
if
an
18
to
through
21
year
old
is
dishonorably
discharged.
I
I
That's
going
to
be
able
to
come
out
of
the
military
and
be
able
to
to
to
own
and
purchase
and
and
use
guns
when
they've
proven
that
their
character
might
have
some
flaws,
that
that
that
we
don't
like
so
and
and
that
to
me,
is
a
extreme
concern
and
that's
my
only
concern.
That
is
my
only
concern
with
that.
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
My
response
would
be.
You
have
made
a
very
valid
point
that
our
military
calls
up
to
service
18
year
olds.
Every
day
of
the
week
they
trust
18
year
olds,
with
some
very
serious
weaponry
in
their
hands,
and,
yes,
they
do
train
them.
That's
a
wise
thing
to
do.
Just
like
the
militia,
a
well-regulated
militia
means
trained
and
ready
to
go.
I
Thank
you,
but
part
of
that
will
regulation
that
I
think
you've
left
out
is
part
of
the
regulation
is
saying
no
john
doe
jane
doe.
You
do
not
have
the
right
or
the
privilege,
maybe
it's
because
of
the
training
process,
maybe
because
of
some
other
process.
Part
of
that
that
regulation
is
the
military
saying
no
you're
not
worthy
and
part
of
the
legislation
that
we
passed
last
year
said
no.
If
you're
dishonorably
discharged,
you've
proven
something
to
us.
So
I'm
only
dealing
with
those
folks
who
have
proven
that.
D
Todd
again,
the
language
in
the
constitution,
where
it
talks
about
being
regulated,
is
the
militia
is
regulated
and
the
militia
is
separate
from
the
armed
forces
always
has
been
always
will
be.
I
would
imagine,
and
that
militia
can
regulate
themselves,
their
members
of
in
their
ranks
their
training.
Their
preparation,
just
like
our
military,
does
and
expects
to
do,
and
we
expect
them
to.
D
I
have
many
sheriffs
and
police
chiefs
across
the
state
that
support
this
legislation,
because
they
they've
actually
brought
me
something
that
kind
of
in
the
middle
of
this
process
that
I
didn't
expect.
They
said
this
is
going
to
allow
us
to
fill
our
ranks
of
open
positions
that
we
have
not
been
able
to.
Prior
to
this,
that
was
an
unintended
consequence,
a
very
good
benefit.
I
would
say,
sir.
A
A
A
E
I
A
A
B
I
You,
mr
speaker,
senate
bill
1165,
is
amended.
Updates
the
current
law
around
exposure
to
hiv.
The
amended
bill
retains
a
class
c
felony
penalty
for
the
crime
of
exposure,
but
removes
the
requirement
of
listing
on
the
lifetime
sex
offender
registry.
Tennessee
is
one
of
only
state
six
states
that
still
has
that
requirement,
and
this
bill,
as
amended,
updates
that
law.
I
renew
my
motion
pending
further
questions.
A
A
E
K
K
A
A
A
E
H
A
E
E
H
H
Second
part
to
the
bill
is
unlicensed
funeral
directors
that
are
bad
actors
that
have
lost
their
license
based
on
their
actions
and
they
are
not
allowed
to
work
in
the
funeral
business.
The
third
part
of
this
bill
is
precede
pre-need
sales
agents.
If
you
are
already
a
licensed
funeral
director,
then
you
would
also
not
need
to
have
a
license
as
a
pre-need
salesman.
A
A
B
A
B
E
B
H
N
A
A
E
B
B
B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
What
this
bill
does
it's
about
to
be
about
the
tennessee
hospitality
association
working
with
the
abc
is
going
to
modernize
some
of
their
policies
and
procedures.
It
does
several
things.
One
is
synchronizes
business
licenses,
so
if
you
have
more
than
then
you
have
several
businesses,
then
different
renewals
throughout
the
year
you'll
move
to
one
renewal
date.
B
It
provides
for
electronic
verification,
so,
in
addition
to
paper
posts,
you'll
be
able
to
provide
that
you're
in
compliance
through
your
electronic
means,
like
your
cell
phone
it
as
far
as
for
caterers,
it
allows
them
to
notify,
transmit
electronically
and
then
get
a
confirmed
receipt
for
that,
and
it
also
allows
the
notification
for
a
violation
of
an
owner.
What
that
is
is
during
the
application
process,
the
owner
put
their
email
address
down
and
that
way
they'll
get
the
issue
the
violation,
instead
of
it
going
to
someone
else
in
their
organization.

A

House
bill
1201
is
what
we
call
the
campaign
finance
and
ethics
reform
act
of
2022..
It's
been
the
hard
work
over
15
months
with
input
from
citizens,
legal
advisors,
members,
special
interest
groups
and
leadership
of
the
house
and
senate.
First,
I
want
others
to
know
the
majority
of
my
fellow
members
in
the
general
assembly.
Lobbyists
501c
groups
and
advocacy
organizations
followed
the
rules
in
regards
to
campaign
reporting
and
disclosure.
I
The
intent
of
house
bills
1201
is
to
increase
public
confidence
and
trust
in
the
campaign
process
in
regards
to
how
campaigns
are
financed
and
to
ensure
elected
officials
and
candidates
are
held
accountable
to
the
people
of
tennessee,
rather
than
being
accountable
to
funded
special
interest
groups
that
hide
their
funding
activities.
With
the
help
of
our
current
campaign
laws,
some
of
the
provisions
this
legislation
includes
is
reconfiguring
the
registry
of
election
finance
ethics,
commission,
the
bureau
of
ethics
and
campaign
finance.
I
It
enhanced
interim
reporting
for
candidates,
impacts
of
contributions
and
expenditures
during
the
final
10
days
before
an
election
adds
members
of
the
governor's
cabinet
to
a
list
of
persons
who
cannot
receive
compensation
for
consulting
services,
enhanced
disclosure
of
single
source
incomes,
5,
5000
or
more,
and
requires
disclosure
of
members
controlled
pacs.
It
clarifies
that
state
trial
judges,
file,
annual
statements
of
interest
disclosures
with
the
ethics
commission
requires
annual
statement
of
interest
disclosures
be
signed
under
penalty
of
perjury,
which
they
are
not
now
and
bans
the
use
of
pre-check
boxes
of
authorization
for
future
campaign
contributions.
L
L
I
I
N
F
Representative
williams,
yes,
I
I
think
it's
important
to
say,
which
is
why
colonel
whitson
has
done
a
great
job
working
this
bill,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
say
that
there
was
a
supreme
court
case
called
citizens
united
that
talked
about
what
what
states
could
or
couldn't
do.
One
of
the
things
that
can
we
give.
F
You,
the
supreme
court
case
involving
citizens
united,
said
that
we
couldn't,
we
couldn't
make
known
who
the
contributors
were
to
these
501cs,
and
so
what
we
did
is,
if
you
remember
last
year,
we
protected
who
the
contributors
are.
All
this
bill
would
do
after
we
met
multiple
times
heard
from
multiple
interested
parties.
We
made
several
revisions
to
the
statue.
F
If
someone
is
a
member,
if
they
have
a
member
group,
then
any
communications
with
that
member
group
is
outside
this
current
statute,
and
so,
if
we
were
in
legislature
for
a
special
session
leading
up
to
an
election,
it
would
simply
wouldn't
apply
either.
All
this
would
do
is
to
bring
the
same
level
of
accountability
to
those
501cs,
both
four
five
and
sixes.
N
Q
I
Yes,
it
will,
under
the
provisions
that
we
talked
about
disclosure
60
days
before
a
primary
and
the
general
election.
Also,
we
decreased
the
amount
during
the
10-day
reporting
requirement
that
has
to
be
reported.
We
added
an
electronic
filing
system,
so
we
took
it
from
5000
down
to
1
000
to
report
within
the
10-day
period.
Q
G
Yeah,
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and,
and
I
applaud
you
sponsor
for
for
what
you're
doing.
But,
let's,
let's
just
be
honest,
you
know
the
c4s
where
they
spend
their
money
is,
is
pretty
much
irrelevant.
It's
where
that
money
comes
from.
You
know.
Today
you
can
run
down
to
the
red
street,
you
can.
You
can
create
a
group
which
we
know,
unfortunately
there's
criminals.
G
You
know
among
us
that
have
done
this,
you
can
go
down
there,
you
can
create.
You
can
create
an
organization
citizens
for
democracy
or
whatever
they
want
to
call
it.
They
can
name
a
treasure
that
person
doesn't
even
know
they're
being
named
the
treasure.
You
know
you
ask
them
they're,
like
I
had
no
idea.
They
put
my
name
on
that
piece
of
paper
and
then
they
get
their
money
from.
You
know
some
shady
character
to
interfere
in
an
election
and
then
you're
gonna
put
down
on
a
disclosure
yeah.
G
They
dropped
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
on
you
on
tv
or
mail
pieces,
but
you
never
know
where
it
came
from
where
it
comes
from,
is
what
they're
trying
to
intend
on
doing
it?
You
know
if
betsy
devos
is
dropping
150
000
in
your
campaign,
she's
trying
to
harm
public
education
in
this
state.
Let's
be
honest
about
it,
you
know,
so
we
need
to
know
where
the
money's
coming
from.
I
appreciate
what
you're
doing
I'm
voting
for
your
bill,
but
protecting
the
donors
of
c4s
that's
criminal
in
and
of
itself.
We
know
that's
the
problem.
G
F
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
As
it
relates
your
comments
about
contributions,
the
facts
are:
the
supreme
court
case
is
already
opined,
saying
that
we
cannot
interfere
with
the
knowledge
and
and
collection
of
those
contributions
that
those
people
are
remain
anonymous.
So
if
you
were
to
give
to
tennessee
right
to
life,
nobody
in
the
state
would
know
that
you
did
so,
and
so
that
kind
of
protection
is
what
the
supreme
court
said
that
we
want
to
preserve,
represent
mitchell.
G
F
A
Represented
williams,
thank
you
I'll.
Take
that
as
yes,
any
further
discussion
see,
you
know
any
objection
to
the
question,
seeing
them
we're
voting
all
those
in
favor
of
senate
bill
1005
as
amended
vote
when
the
bell
rings.
Those
opposed
vote
no
has
every
member
voted.
Does
any

witch
change
their
vote.

A

Senate
joint
resolution
913
on
its
first
reading,
a
resolution
to
propose
an
amendment
to
article
2,
section
31
of
the
constitutional
tendency
to
allow
the
investment
of
state
funds
in
equities,
whereas
because
article
2,
section
31,
prohibits
the
state
from
becoming
an
owner
in
whole
or
in
part
of
any
bank
or
a
stockholder
with
others
in
any
association
company,
corporation
or
municipality.
The
state
cannot
invest
the
state's
funds
in
equities,
including,
but
not
limited
to
ownership
in
both
public
and
private
companies.
E
And
whereas
this
prohibition
can
limit
the
return
that
the
state
receives
upon
the
investment
of
its
funds
and
whereas
the
decreased
rate
of
return
can
inhibit
the
state's
ability
to
provide
needed
services
to
tennesseans
and
whereas
a
constitutional
amendment
is
necessary
to
ensure
that
the
state
is
able
to
invest
its
funds
for
the
greatest
benefit
of
its
citizens.
Now,
therefore,
be
resolved
by
the
senate
of
the
112th
general
assembly
of
the
state
of
tennessee.

The
house

2
section
31
of
the
constitution
of
tennessee
be
amended
by
deleting

substituting
instead,
the
following
section.
31,
the
credit
of
this
state
shall
not
be
hereafter
loaned
or
given
to
or
in
aid
of
any
person,
association,
company,

In
any
association,
company

be
it
further
resolved
that
the
foregoing
amendment
be
referred
to
the
113th

this
resolution
proposing

be
published
by
the
secretary
of
state
in
accordance
with
article
11,
section
3
of
the
constitution

We
have
further
resolved
that
the
clerk
of
the
senate
is
directed
to
deliver
copies
of
this
resolution
to
the
secretary
of
state.
With
this
final
resolving
clause
being
deleted
from
such
copies.
J
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
That
was
a
lot
of
words,
but
basically
all
we're
doing
with
this
constitutional
amendment
would
be
to
allow
the
state
of
tennessee
to
invest
its
funds
in
stocks
in
equities.
That
currently
is
prohibited
by
the
constitution
as
it
currently
exists.
So
that's
what
we're
changing!
There's
some
arcane
language
in
there
regarding
ownership
of
banks,
because
that's
the
way
it
was
written
in
the
original
constitution.
J
This
does
not
mean
that
we're
going
to
open
a
tennessee
state
bank
and
the
state
is
going
to
run
it.
This
simply
means
that
our
treasurer
with
under
advisement,
just
like
they
do
with
tcrs
funds
and
some
other
funds
that
are
under
state
care,
would
be
able
to
invest
and
earn
interest
or
earn
make
earnings
on
the
dollars
that
we
are
currently
are
limited
to
just
debt
obligations.
So
with
that,
mr
speaker,
I
would
move
that
sjr
913
be
set
for
its
second
reading
on
april
25th,
2022.

Thank
you,

I
want

personally
thank

for
this
bill.
It's
an
honor
for
me
to
to
be
part
of
it
for
years
in
the
police
department,
I
saw
an
injustice
in
our
criminal
justice
system
and
it
came
home
to
me
personally
even
before
I
came
down
here
when
I
I
was
running
to
be
elected.
Eight
years
ago
there
was
a
dear
friend
of
mine,
mike
locke,
a
good
man
in
my
committee
in
my
community,
a
good
husband,
a
good
father,
good
brother.
P
P
Q
Q
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
so
truth
in
sentencing
has
kind
of
become
an
outdated
model
for
the
criminal
justice
system,
and
we've
spent
a
lot
of
times
in
recent
years.
Talking
about
reforming
and
improving
the
criminal
justice
system
for
the
benefit
of
making
in
a
more
just
and
equitable
system
for
the
benefit
of
everyone.
I
I'm
curious
why
we
are
now
going
back
in
time
and
trying
to
pass
a
state
level
truth
in
sentencing
law
that
has
pretty
much
proved
to
be
a
failure
after
it
was
passed
in
the
early
90s
at
the
federal
level.
P
Okay,
I
don't
think
it's
a
step
backwards
at
all.
Does
it
does
it
cost
more
money,
it
sure
does?
Do
we
still
have
rehabilitation
with
some
inmates?
Yes,
we
do
this
bill
just
straightens
out
the
whole
issue
of
victims
and
victims,
families
not
knowing
or
the
public,
not
knowing
exactly
how
long
somebody's
going
to
serve
their
time
in
the
penitentiary
it
fixes
that
represent.
A
Q
Thank
you,
and
I
think
that's
that's
probably
one
of
the
pros
is
that
transparency
and
and
knowing
exactly
how
much
time
they're
going
to
serve.
However,
I
think
we
all
know
our
criminal
justice
system
disproportionately
affects
certain
individuals
within
our
population
as
opposed
to
others,
and
it
takes
away
that
mercy
element
from
the
criminal
justice
system
when
it's
appropriate.
Q
Q
Right
now
in
the
state
of
tennessee,
we
fail
on
that
last
part.
Big
time,
rehabilitation
is
underfunded
in
the
state
of
tennessee,
and
especially
when
you
start
talking
about
private
prison
corporations.
Rehabilitation
is
off
the
map,
so
my
concern
is
okay.
Let's
look
at
the
pro
that
you
outlined,
but
the
reality
is
it's
disproportionately
affecting
a
certain
part
of
our
population,
namely
the
minority
community,
and
then,
when
these
individuals
are
serving
that
minimal
amount
of
time,
they're
not
getting
rehabilitation.
Q
So
if
we're
making
them
serve
10
years
before
they
can
be
considered
for
parole,
are
we
going
to
spend
that
10
years
effectively
because,
right
now
we
don't
especially
in
private
prisons.
So
my
concern
is
that
rehabilitation
element.
I
understand
the
punishment.
I
understand
the
deterrence
argument
you've
outlined
that
very
well
and
I
understand
that
being
the
focus
of
this
legislation,
but
we
also
cannot
forget
that
third
aim
of
the
penal
system,
which
is
rehabilitation.
Q
If
we're
going
to
pass
truth
in
sentencing,
we
need
to
start
funding
rehabilitation
to
the
extent
that
is
possible
within
our
budgetary
means,
and
we
have
quite
a
few
quite
a
few
resources
at
our
disposal
and
my
request
is:
will
you
commit
to
joining
me
and
others
in
fully
investing
in
the
rehabilitation
prong
of
our
penal
system
and
aim
of
our
penal
system
and
then
hold
private
prisons
accountable?
If
we
pass
this
president.
P
Holzing,
thank
you,
mr
speaker.
The
mercy
part
that
you
mentioned
this
bill
doesn't
change
any
discretion
from
a
judge
or
jury.
They
can
weigh
out
circumstances
and
facts
and
put
mercy
on
the
front
end
of
it.
This
is
the
related
sentence
that
comes
after
that.
I
would
disagree
on
one
issue
to
me.
Law
and
the
criminal
justice
system
goes
all
the
way
back
to
mount
sinai
and
the
two
focuses
and
the
two
purposes
of
criminal
justice,
and
what
is
just
is
not
rehabilitation.
P
Q
Thank
you,
and
I
appreciate
that,
and
I
I
agree
with
you.
The
the
the
disciplinary
system
and
punishment
does
go
back
to
pretty
much
the
beginning
of
time,
but
I
was
referring
to
the
development
of
the
modern
penal
system,
as
we
know
it
today
and
where
it
came
from
and
speaking
of
the
more
philosophical
aspects
of
michel
foucault
and
others
who
spoke
about
this
issue,
and
not
many
people
disagree
with
the
three
aims
of
the
penal
system.
So
with
that
again
I'll
pose
the
question.
P
K
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
to
my
friend
from
davidson
county.
I
may
be
able
to
address
some
of
that
there's
just
over
a
billion
dollars
in
the
in
the
the
budget
for
tdoc
there's
25
million
dollars
in
the
budget
that
we'll
take
up
just
a
little
bit
later
for
re-entry
programs
that,
I
think,
will
be
very
beneficial.
K
We're
also
increasing
the
amount
of
money
that
is
available
for
jails,
to
do
many
of
the
programs
that
help
with
the
very
things
you're
talking
about,
and
then
on
top
of
that
there's
another
100
million
allocation
in
the
budget,
specifically
for
crime
intervention
programs.
To
go
to
much
of
what
you
just
said,
and
I
absolutely
will
say
that
all
of
us
should
join
in
rehabilitated
programs
which
are
actually
built
into
this
bill
as
well.
So
nothing
changes
any
of
the
programs
that
are
available
in
the
prison.
K
We
have
continued
to
increase
those
that
are
available
to
those
that
are
on
probation
or
community
correction
and
those
that
a
judge
has
chosen
that
a
prison
sentence
would
be
appropriate
based
on
their
behavior
and
their
crime.
But
all
of
those
programs
are
still
in
there
and
we
definitely
need
to
continue
to
invest
in
that
and
do
even
more
along
those
lines.
That's
built
into
this
bill,
whether
they're
100
sentence
or
85
sentences.
N
P
This
doesn't
affect
any
sentencing,
discretion
that
a
judge
or
a
jury
has,
if
they,
if
they
sentence
a
man
to
10
years
or
a
woman
to
10
years
for
second-degree
murder,
then
this
bill
says
that's
exactly
what
they
will
serve.
It's
it's
akin
to
the
federal
penitentiary.
It's
pretty
much
day
for
day
is
what
you're
going
to
get
so
if
they
give
you
10
years,
that's
what
you
serve
is
10
years
now.
Packaged
in
this
bill
is
the
ability
to
earn
program
credits.
P
K
Clearly,
thank
you.
So
our
prison
system
has
begun
to
work
very
well
with
many
of
the
private
programs
that
are
out
there
and
in
many
cases
just
like
right
now,
when
someone
finishes
their
sentence
and
there's
no
parole
or
supervised
release
afterwards,
those
inmates
we
do
everything
we
can
to
try
to
hook
them
up
with
organizations
that
can
help
transition
them
back
into
the
community.
K
After
this
I
mean
they
do
their
time
and-
and
I
will
say
on
the
front
end-
I've
talked
to
folks
that
have
served
time
in
the
prison
system
and
they
kind
of
fall
in
two
categories.
There
are
some
that
hear
the
word
truth
and
sentencing
and
say
well
that
sounds
scary.
That
sounds
like
more
time
and
then
there's
others
that
say:
look
if
they'd
known
on
the
front
end
how
long
they
were
going
to
serve.
K
They
could
have
planned
for
their
release,
and
that's
a
big
part
of
this,
too,
is
not
getting
just
jerked
around
back
and
forth
by
the
parole
board,
never
knowing
when
you're
going
to
come
out,
but
for
the
defendant,
their
family
and
supporters.
They
know
as
well
when
they're
coming
out
and
then
they
can
plan
for
it.
N
N
N
N
A
K
Leader,
thank
you
two
things
one.
I
should
highlight
of
100
percenters.
That
falls
in
that
category,
where
someone
has
done
their
time
and
they're
completed
as
we
were
discussing
a
while
ago,
the
85
crimes
there
are
opportunities
for
supervision
there.
So
there
is
a
distinction
in
this
bill
between
the
two
categories,
just
like
we
have
in
the
law.
Now
to
the
other
issue
on
reinstatement
of
rights.
There
is
a
process
that
folks
can
go
through
that
and
we've
streamlined
that
process
in
the
last
couple
of
years.
K
It's
not
automatic,
but
it
begins
even
before
those
folks
are
released.
I
mean
there
are
there
many
of
the
programs
that
are
out
there,
including
those
within
tdoc,
help
folks
to
get
an
id.
They
help
them
understand
like
what
they
can
do
when
they
come
out
to
be
able
to
get
those
rights
reinstated,
and
we
want
folks
to
be
able
to
get
out
after
they've
served
their
community
and
go
through
that
process
to
get
their
rights
restored.
But
this
doesn't
change
anything
about
that
process.
K
It
arguably
shortens
the
process
a
bit
for
some
of
these
folks,
because
for
most
of
them
until
they're
actually
completed
their
sentence,
they
can't
get
their
rights
restored.
This
gets
a
specific
sentence
again
without
those
years
and
years
of
parole.
On
the
end,
it's
just
a
specific
sentence:
they've
done
their
debt
to
society
they
get
out,
and
then
they
can
go
through
that
process
to
get
their
rights
reinstated.
N
N
If
they've
done
everything,
that's
asked
of
them
that
we've
asked
of
them
that
their
their
rights
be
restored
because
they've
done
everything.
That's
asked
of
them
by
serving
day
for
day
all
of
the
time
under
this
legislation
you
know
to
for
us
to
continue
to
send
them
through
an
a
process
and
sometimes
very
difficult
process
to
get
back
to
life.
K
Clearly,
thank
you
and,
and
to
that
point
the
one
other
thing
that
is
kind
of
lingering
out
there,
and
this
is
an
issue
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
I've
brought
this
up
before.
There
are
some
fines
and
fees
that
many
of
these
inmates
will
owe
some
of
them
are
declared
indigent.
Some
are
not.
It
is
an
obstacle,
sometimes
that
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
That's
happened
decades
before
either.
K
K
B
B
This
legislation
will
do
first
and
foremost,
protect
the
innocent
victims
of
crimes,
primarily
in
our
economically
challenged
communities,
because,
whether
you
like
it
or
not,
these
folks
that
commit
these
heinous
crimes
aggravated
assault,
aggravated
vehicular
homicide,
additive,
vehicular,
homicide
attempted
first
degree,
murder
aggravated
kidnapping
all
these
crimes.
The
recidivism
rate
is
extremely
high
way
too
high.
B
That's
when
we
saw
the
largest
decrease
in
violent
crime
in
the
united
states
and
to
my
other
good
friend
about
getting
your
rights
back,
you
know
we
ask
them
that
they
can
never
repay
their
debt
for
what
they've
done
to
other
people
and
the
victims
of
crimes.
Morally,
we
ask
them
to
serve
a
prison
sentence.
Fine
that
doesn't
mean
they're.
They
should
have
the
privilege
of
ever
holding
public
office
sitting
on
a
jury
voting
again.
So
I'm
sorry,
I'm
totally
against
that.
B
O
That
means
you've
got
to
have
some
type
of
incentive,
some
type
of
motivation
and
to
the
leader.
I
still
don't
see
how
we
bring
this
bill
without
taking
into
consideration
all
of
the
matters
that
she
cited
earlier.
If
it
had
been
a
comprehensive
meal
where
we
did
put
in
place
adequate
prevention,
inadequate
prevention
to
me
means
that
there
are
options.
O
It
means
that
those
who
pursue
the
shortcuts
the
economic
shortcuts
in
crime
that
that
result
in
crime
that
they
had
options,
those
who
have
the
problems
we
talked
earlier
about
the
compulsive
behavior
of
some
of
the
young
folks.
We
ought
to
have
programs
in
place
to
address
that
they're
disproportionate
in
the
in
their
entry
into
the
prison
system.
O
O
Because
I
don't
see
and
I'm
willing
to
come
back
and
tell
you
that
I
was
wrong
in
a
few
years
if
this
works.
But
I
don't
think
so.
I
think
our
recidivism
rate
is
going
to
go
up.
I
think
you're
going
to
have
men
and
women
in
the
prison
system
that
will
not
be
motivated
to
change
their
behavior
because
it's
not
going
to
shorten
their
time.
So
I
would
ask
for
a
response
from
the
leader
or
from
chairman
halsey.
K
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
my
friend
shelby
county.
Thank
you
for
standing
in
mentioning
that
it
is
part
of
this
bill.
Recidivism
is
a
huge
problem
in
our
state
and
many
states
struggle
with
this.
I
guarantee
you
this
for
those
violent
criminals
that
are
convicted
under
this
bill.
The
recidivism
rate
for
the
time
that
they
are
serving
in
prison
is
zero
percent.
There
is
zero
percent
chance
that
they're
going
to
be
endangering
your
community
or
mine.
K
No
innocent
people
will
be
hurt
by
those
individuals.
Our
tdoc
system
has
done
a
much
better
job
over
the
last
several
years
of
also
providing
programming
for
those
very
inmates
that
are
in
there,
and
this
bill
preserves
the
right
for
them
to
earn
programming
credit
so
that,
instead
of
just
sitting
in
a
cell
instead
of
doing
absolutely
nothing,
they
can
take
advantage
of
programs
that
are
going
to
better
them
for
when
they
are
released,
but
you
mentioned
it
very
well,
I
mean
half
of
these
folks
are
coming
back
within
three
years.
K
40
to
50
are
coming
back
in.
You
know
what
that
tells
me
we're
letting
way
too
many
of
them
out
way
too
early.
Your
aggravated
burglars
your
aggravated
assault,
your
vehicular
homicide.
These
folks
are
not
serving
enough
time
for
them
to
truly
understand
what
they've
done
and
how
to
change
that
behavior
they're,
just
coming
in
and
out
in
and
out
in
and
out,
it's
a
revolving
door
and
that's
unacceptable
for
anywhere
in
the
state
of
tennessee.
This
bill
is
guaranteed
to
make
this
state
safer
period.
End
of
story.
K
So
this
locks
up
the
worst
of
the
worst
and
cleans
up
our
streets
in
a
way
that,
hopefully,
we
won't
have
340-something
murders
in
the
city
of
memphis
this
year
or
next
year,
like
we
did
last
year,
because
a
good
number
of
those
folks
that
committed
those
murders
never
should
have
been
out
of
prison.
They
got
a
sentence
and
they
were
let
out
too
early
and
they
killed
people.
K
So
that's
what
this
bill
will
do
is
it
takes
those
violent
offenders
and
it
keeps
them
right
where
they
need
to
be,
while
still
giving
them
an
opportunity
to
take
advantage
of
programs
that
can
better
them
if
they
choose
to
take
advantage
of
them.
But
half
of
those
folks
coming
back
within
three
years
is
way
way
way
too
many,
because
every
single
one
of
those
new
crimes
has
a
new
victim
that
had
to
suffer
because
we
didn't
keep
those
folks
in.
O
O
We
need
to
be
able
to
assign
the
responsibility
be
able
to
measure
how
they
be
the
they
being.
Those
who
are
administering
the
programs
how
they
are
either
contributing
to
lowering
the
recidivism
or
how
they
contribute
to
the
recidivism
rate
going
up
because
they
haven't
done
their
job.
In
modifying
behavior,
we
hold
our
teachers,
our
librarians,
our
principals
principals
administrators
responsible
for
children
in
our
k-12,
that
some
of
these
individuals
who
are
held
accountable.
They
never
see
the
child.
O
And
yet,
if
any
one
of
you
had
a
job
where
you
were
doing,
50
percent
of
your
your
your
responsibilities,
you
would
have
been
fired,
would
have
been
fired
and
not
be
able
to
get
another
job.
Why
do
we
insist
on
funding
and
keeping
in
place
in
the
tennessee
department
of
corrections
if
they're
not
correcting
behavior
and
every
time
they
let
an
individual
out?
They
go
right
back
in
and
re-return
after
they've
usually
done
a
crime
worse
than
the
first
crime.
O
Those
things
that
would
give
them
equity
in
the
law,
equity
is
what
you
deserve.
What
you
need
equality
means
that
everybody
gets
the
same
thing.
All
people
aren't
made
the
same.
Some
people
need
different
resources,
and
others
with
that.
Mr
speaker,
I'm
going
to
relinquish
the
mic,
but
thank
you,
gentlemen
to
in
some
extent,
to
some
extent
it's
a
good
start,
but
I
can
tell
you
the
other
thing
that
bothers
me
is.
I
don't
see
sex
crimes
on
here
for
the
100
percent.
O
P
To
my
good
friend,
you
bring
up
so
many
things.
The
first
thing
I
was
going
to
answer
I
forget
by
the
time
I
get
to
the
end
one.
So
the
sex
crimes
already
have
a
built-in
85
to
90
on
something,
so
we
didn't
include
them
in
this
bill.
The
other
side
of
that
is
this
bill
fixes
what
needed
to
be
fixed
a
long
time
ago
and
that's
for
victims.
This
bill
doesn't
focus
on
inmates.
P
This
will
focus
on
victims,
victims
and
families
of
violent
crime
have
wrestled
for
years,
not
knowing
how
long
somebody's
going
to
be
in
the
penitentiary,
and
that's
because
we
have
a
deceptive
system.
You
talked
about
truthfulness
and
honesty
and
transparency
all
right
here.
It
is
if
this,
if
this
body
passes
a
bill
and
says
that
a
just
recompense
for
this
particular
offense
is
six
years
and
a
jury
gives
you
six
years,
because
we
said
in
this
body.
This
is
a
just
sentence.
P
O
Thank
you
speaker,
and
I
would
say
that
truth
and
transparency
has
got
to
be
more
about
the
victim.
True
enough,
but
it's
got
the
victim
getting
information,
but
we've
got
to
have
truth
and
transparency
in
the
issues
I
raised
earlier
and
that's
truth
and
transparency
and
why
we're
having
recidivism
outrageous
recidivism,
where
we're
letting
folks
out
to
commit
worse
crimes
than
they
had
before
they
were
supposedly
corrected.
O
P
B
H
I
I
just
got
a
couple
questions
for
you.
We
had
mentioned
about
the
red
day
before.
Why
couldn't
we
as
we
when,
when
an
inmate
incarcerated
individual
gets
his
red
day
represent
dixie,
because
I
believe
that
we,
this
this
bill,
is
about
victims
and
incarcerated
individuals,
both
dually.
So
my
question
is
that
when
they
get
their
red
date-
and
they
know
there's
going
to
be
february
of
2023
at
that
point
a
year
ahead
of
time,
why
aren't
the
victims
notified
at
least
a
year
ahead
of
time?
K
Clearly
amber
yeah,
thank
you
for
asking
that,
because
that
that
is
literally
part
of
what
this
solves
right
now
victims
get
notified
over
and
over
and
over
again
they
get
notified
every
time,
there's
a
parole
hearing,
and
so
the
reason
many
of
us
get
very
spirited
about
this
issue,
including
my
chairman,
is
because
we've
seen
families
we've
been
in
families
that
have
gone
through
that
and
it
is,
it
is
devastating.
It's
heartbreaking
to
not
get
one
notice
to
get
notice
after
notice
after
notice.
K
What
you've
just
described
is
what
will
happen
under
this
bill
from
the
day
they
go
in
everybody
will
know
when
they're
going
to
come
out
on
those
100
crimes
and
on
the
85
percent,
a
notice
will
go
out.
I
mean
that's
what
the
prison
system
does
now
now
it's
voluntary.
If
a
victim
doesn't
want
to
know,
they
don't
have
to
they're,
not
going
to
bother
them,
but
they
can
sign
up
for
the
system
to
get
notification
when
that
person
is
scheduled
to
be
released
and
they'll
be
notified.
K
K
I
My
next
question
is
under
these
14
offenses,
that
we
have,
or
does
this
bill
address
any
of
the
sentencing
guidelines
like,
for
instance,
aggravated
robbery
right
now.
It's
it's
an
automatic
eight-year
sentence,
and
sometimes
they
do
it
at
30.
So
then
they'll
be
what
about
28
months
or
something
like
that?
Does
this
bill
address
the
sentencing
guidelines,
or
will
that
particular
in
this
particular
example?
Will
that
eight
years
still
be
the
sentencing
guideline
for
an
aggravated
robbery.
K
Clearly
it
doesn't
change
the
sentencing
range
or
the
guidelines,
it
changes
the
percentages,
so
some
of
those
that
were
30
percent
went
up
to
85
or
100
percent,
but
it
you
know
or
if
their
range
was
a
45
percent
or
a
60.
I
mean
it
doesn't
change
what
those
actual
guidelines
are,
and
it
doesn't
change
on
the
front
end.
What
the
judge
can
consider
as
far
as
mitigating
factors
as
to
whether
or
not
that
person
should
even
get
a
prison
sentence.
So
for
many
of
these
they
may
be
probatable.
K
They
may
get
a
probationary
opportunity
if,
if
again,
they're
entry-level
even
at
these
higher
levels
now
some
of
them
are
going
to
be
beyond
that
I
mean.
Obviously,
there
are
several
of
these
that
are
so
egregious
probation
would
be
laughable,
but
it
doesn't
change
those
ranges.
It
changes
the
percentage
if
they
were
to
get
a
two
serve.
I
Chairman
dixon,
like
I
said,
I
guess
that
adds
to
my
point
that
if
right
now
that
same
person
that
has
was
convicted
on
this
eight
year
sentence,
they
would
have
to
serve
a
hundred
hundred
percent.
They
have
to
serve
eight
years
instead
of
the
28
percent
to
28
months.
So
as
there
are
you
saying,
if
so,
that
person
we're
going
to
keep
that
same
person
in
jail,
three,
three
or
four
more
years
longer.
K
So
in
that
example,
so
let's
just
take
a
c
felony,
so
aggravated
burglary,
aggravated
assault
at
a
range.
One
is
a
three
to
six
year
sentence
currently
at
30.
This
would
raise
it
up
to
85
percent,
so
the
range
still
stays
the
same,
but
if
they
get
a
two-serve
sentence,
it's
that
percentage
so
that
that
red
date
would
would
be
a
more
known
figure
at
the
very
front
end
not
just
toward
the
back
end,
and
so
you
know
on
your
beef
only
example,
you
know
I'll
say
a
range
one.
K
I
I
The
criminal
justice
committee
is
increasing
the
harsher
punishments,
but
I
think
that
I
wish
that,
as
we
go
forward,
maybe
next
year
that
we
can
start
addressing
some
of
the
root
cause
and
some
of
those
programming
issues
that
we
can
to
keep
people
out
of
prison
and
and
really
address
the
root
cause
poverty
and
education.
But
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
thank
you.
K
Famous
speaker
and
chairman
of
to
my
chairman
earlier
what
he
said,
though
I
will
say
many
of
these
crimes
are
not
mistakes.
I
mean
these
are
individual
actions
that
folks
have
chosen
to
do
now
getting
to
those
criminogenic
factors
that
might
have
led
to
that
decision.
I
mean
it's
still
that
person's
decision
they
have
to
be
held
individually
responsible
because
otherwise
we
can't
ever
get
to
rehabilitation.
K
So
unless
someone
truly,
I
mean
a
lot
of
our
criminal
justice
system
is,
is
based
on
old
testament,
biblical
principles
and
new
testament
principles.
So
to
get
to
forgiveness,
you
have
to
first
acknowledge
the
fact
that
you
have
made
you've
committed
a
sin.
You've
made
a
mistake:
you've
committed
a
crime
in
this
instance
and
accepting
responsibility
for
that
individually.
As
chairman
faison
said
a
while
ago,
that's
a
huge
part
of
the
of
the
healing
process
to
say:
hey,
look!
K
This
person
did
this
here's
the
penalty
for
it.
Here's
the
programs,
if
they'll,
accept
that
and
try
to
move
forward
as
a
person
but
it,
but
if
we
want
to
act
like
it's
society's
problem
or
the
tdoc's
problem
or
the
criminal
justice
systems
problem
or
some
other
private
issue,
we
can
look
at
all
that
stuff
as
factors,
but
it's
still
got
to
come
down
to
that
individual
saying
look!
This
is
what
I
did.
K
D
I
This
conversation,
because
I
think
it's
much
needed
but,
like
I
said
I
just
at
the
end
of
the
day,
is
maybe
make
sure
we
can
address
some
of
the
programming
that
really
needs
to
happen
to
prevent
people
from
coming
back
and
and
maybe
even
prevent
them
from
even
committing
these
crimes.
To
begin
with,
because,
like
you
say,
it's
not
societal
issues,
but
it
is.
I
I
B
D
P
Yes,
thank
you
for
the
85
folks
here,
if,
if
they
avail
themselves
of
what's
available
in
the
penitentiary
with
educational
programming,
vocational
programmers,
substance
abuse
programming,
that
gives
them
sentence
credits
that
that
offer
down
to
15
percent
off
of
the
sense
they
serve
85.
So
those
the
the
group
that's
in
the
85
percent,
if
they
avail
themselves
of
those
programs,
they
can
take
advantage
of
that.
B
D
P
P
P
Holsie,
no,
this
would
only
apply
to
the
original
crime
in
the
original
sentence
that
they
got
if
they
were
tried
after
they
were
in
the
penitentiary
for
another
crime
committed
in
the
penitentiary.
Then
that
would
be
additional
time
and
if
it
was
one
of
these
types
of
crimes,
they'd
have
to
serve
whatever
the
jury.
The
judge
said
rip
zimbard.
B
B
It
was
on
highway
321
back
then
we
called
it
new
95
in
lenore
city,
two
couples
had
been
to
to
the
drive-in
movie
and
they
picked
up
a
neighbor
of
mine
who
was
hitchhiking
well
back.
Then
you
had
to
go
almost
to
knoxville
up
to
hageman's
truck,
stop
to
get
anything
to
eat
at
midnight,
so
they're,
just
minor
in
my
own
business
and
a
car
tops
over
the
road
on
our
side
of
the
four
lane
they
move
over.
It
moves
over
move
over
moves
over
the
the
other
drive.
They
were
in
a
66
chevelle.
B
The
other
driver
was
in
a
lincoln
town.
Car
hit
it
so
hard
that
the
steering
column
went
out.
The
pasture's
window
killed
three
people,
one
couple
who
were
probably
well
on
her
way
to
being
married
and
the
hitchhiker
the
two
in
the
back:
the
girl,
sustained
brain
damage
and
the
guy
who
worked
at
the
napa
store
after
he
got
out
of
the
hospital.
B
B
This
guy,
that
was
driving
the
town
car
after
he
killed
two
and
ruined
two
other
people
or
three
and
ruined
two
other
people
had
numerous
dui's
and
I
saw
he's,
got
to
be
approaching
90
years
old
now,
and
I
saw
in
a
paper
within
the
last
year
where
he
got
arrested
for
another
dui.
Now.
The
other
story,
I'm
unfortunately
familiar
with,
was
a
farmer
down
sweetwater
who
ran
over
a
car
and
his
farm
tractor,
which
had
seven
feet
tall,
tires
and
killed.
B
B
O
Now,
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
a
back
and
forth
on
words
describing
the
member
getting
into
adjectives
on
individuals.
I
don't
do
that,
but
well.
What
I
will
do
speaker
section
is
to
repeat
what
I
said
until
we
as
legislators
accept
the
responsibility
of
holding
the
tennessee
department
of
corrections,
the
reentry
programs,
those
programs
that
are
administered
in
the
tennessee
department
of
corrections
and
those
programs
which
are
put
in
place
to
prevent
young
folks
from
going
into
the
criminal
system.
O
H
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Members.
Look
I'm
going
to
read
off
this
list,
we're
having
a
debate
as
if
these
are
petty
crimes,
and
these
are
not
petty
crimes.
Aggravated
assault,
possession
of
firearms
with
commission
of
a
dangerous
felony
attempted
first
degree:
murder,
where
the
victims
suffer
serious
bodily
injury,
aggravated
kidnapping,
especially
aggravated
kidnapping,
aggravated
robbery,
especially
aggravated
robbery.
Carjacking,
especially
aggravated
verse,
burglary,
aggravated
arson
right
now
in
tennessee.
Under
the
council,
doctrine
stand
your
ground
and
defense
doctrine.
If
you
commit
these
crimes,
your
life
could
be
forfeit.
H
These
could
be
grave
offenses.
The
citizens
in
this
state
can
take
your
life
in
defense
of
themselves
of
another
person.
Your
life
can
be
forfeit
so
to
act
like
these
are
petty
crimes
in
which
we
need
to
rehabilitate
people
or
give
them
special
preference
is
not
the
case.
You
can
defend
your
family,
you
can
defend
your
children.
These
are
very,
very
serious
crimes
and
the
message
that
should
be
shared
in
the
community
is:
if
you
commit
these
crimes,
your
life
can
be
taken
forever.
H
K
K
A
Recognized
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
I
appreciate
the
gentleman
from
shelby
calling
my
name
what
I
will
say.
Let's,
let's
talk
about
this
bill
and
what
this
bill
is
and
what
this
bill
isn't.
This
bill
doesn't
do
anything
about
what
programming's
offered
or
what
department
of
corrections
does.
This
is
truly
about
sentencing
in
our
state
and
what
I
will
say.
A
A
If
you
are
in
favor
of
the
budget
this
year,
you
have
money
in
there
for
project
return.
You
have
money
in
there
for
a
man
of
valor.
You
have
money
in
there
for
programming,
but
you
have
to
vote
for
the
budget,
but
what
we
have
is
a
governor
who
has
that
compassion
for
those
individuals
when
they're
there,
but
you
also
have
to
sit
here
and
think
about
as
a
parent.
A
A
This
legislation
attempts
to
put
a
line
in
place
to
tell
violent
criminals
in
our
state
do
not
cross
that
line,
because
for
far
too
long
we
have
had
lines
that
are
made
in
chalk
and
the
only
experts
in
the
criminal
system.
Besides,
the
da's
and
law
enforcement
are
the
criminals,
they
know
what
they're
going
to
get
before.
They
ever
commit
the
crime.
They
know
how
many
times
they
commit
the
crime
before
they
ever
go
to
jail.
A
So
this
bill
attempts
to
separate
violent,
very
violent
100
to
100
percent
to
those
that
are
violent
with
100
to
85
percent.
This
bill
takes
into
effect
programming
to
get
programming.
You
have
to
be
able
to
do
it.
It
doesn't
take
time
off
at
100,
but
it
does
give
you
privileges
that
you
get
in
jail.
A
You
also
get
time
off
for
programming
off
the
100
to
an
85
percent,
and
someone
mentioned
about
parole.
Let's
think
about
this,
for
a
minute.
You
have
someone
who's
sentenced
to
10
years
and
they
get
10
years
and
they
serve
30
percent.
They
committed
a
crime
against
your
family
and
after
year,
three.
What
do
you
have
to
do
as
a
family
go
and
fight
against
their
parole?
A
A
So
our
system
does
not
honor
the
victims,
especially
against
violent
crime,
and
it
is
unheard
of
in
our
state
in
some
parts
of
our
state.
When
you
hear
gunshots
in
some
parts,
you
think
people
are
hunting
in
other
parts.
They
think
somebody's
trying
to
kill
somebody,
and
we
have
children
in
our
state
when
they
hear
gunshots,
they
hide
under
their
bed.
A
You
have
parents
who
kids
are
scared
to
walk
home
from
school
because
of
getting
crime
committed
against
them,
showing
love
and
compassion
to
your
child
when
you
punish
them
if
they
touch
their
mom
or
if
they
sneak
out
of
the
house
you're
doing
that,
because
you
have
love
and
compassion
sentencing.
People
to
violent
crimes
in
jail
is
still
part
of
love
and
compassion
that
they
never
maybe
been
held
accountable
before.
But
I
will
tell
you
a
violent
criminal
that
is
not
their
first
time
committing
a
crime.
A
A
Let's
talk
about
how
to
intervene
in
that
pipeline,
so
those
individuals
never
become
adult
violent
offenders,
but
we
have
to
have
a
line
if
they
do
cross
that
line
that
they
know
they
cross
the
line
that
we're
going
to
hold
them
accountable,
maybe
more
severe
than
some
of
you
want
in
this
body,
but
you
have
to
send
a
message
that
certain
crimes
are
not
acceptable
in
our
state.
You
want
to
talk
about
recidivism.
A
A
You
have
you
also
had
an
individual
two
individuals
I'll
talk
about
what
happened
in
the
death
of
young
golf
that
individual
who
ended
up,
shooting
them
at
the
bakery,
had
a
previous
crime
where
they
shot
up
a
mall
in
memphis.
It
was
considered
aggravated
assault.
They
served
less
than
three
months
because
they
didn't
hurt
anybody.
They
didn't
kill
anybody,
but
they
scared
a
bejesus
out
of
a
lot
of
people,
and
we
don't
do
anything
about
that
other
than
give
him
a
couple
months.
A
A
A
They
didn't
have
programming
when
they
were
out,
then
you
had
an
individual
who
was
at
rhodes,
college
who
got
killed
in
a
home
invasion.
We
talked
about
the
home
is
our
is
our
domain
it's
our
castle,
but
we
treat
it
like
something
much
less
someone
broke
into
his
house
tied
up
him
and
his
girlfriend
two
friends
ended
up
shooting
that
individual.
A
He
fought
him
off
shot
the
girlfriend,
as
he
was
fighting
him
off
the
gun
jammed.
He
they.
They
ran
out
of
the
house
that
young
individual
ended
up
dying,
20
some
years
old,
who
saved
three
lives,
but
his
life
was
cut
short.
Let's
talk
about
that
criminal
who
committed
that
crime
that
they
caught
they
have
been
in
the
prison
system
for
18
years
rap
sheet
longer
than
you
can
imagine.
A
A
What
do
you
tell
that
family
of
that
individual
son,
that
their
son's
life
could
have
been
saved
if
we
hold
people
accountable
for
aggregate
burglary
happens
every
time
every
day
people
want
to
say
aggravated
burglary
is
not
a
violent
crime.
Tell
you
what
let
somebody
break
in
your
house
take
your
stuff
and
see
how
how
long
you
want
to
be
at
home
at
night
for
the
next
couple
months
or
years,
home
invasion
is
a
violent
crime.
A
We
don't
want
people
to
go
to
jail.
I
want
to
give
them
the
hope
on
the
front
end
and
take
them
out
of
the
pipeline
so
that
they
don't
ever
go
to
prison.
That's
a
better
society
for
us,
but
we
also
should
not
make
law
enforcement
rearrest
the
same
people,
five,
six,
seven,
eight
nine
ten
times
so
there
has
to
be
a
line
somewhere.
If
you
cross
that
line,
you
may
be
held
accountable
differently.
A
A
A
J
H
Thank
mr
speaker,
thank
you,
madam
chairman.
I
make
this
amendment
recommendation
and
strongly
advise
three
years
ago.
I
first
suggested
and
got
with
the
architects
of
the
state
to
have
a
design
and
cost
estimate
for
a
parking
garage
for
our
employees
here
at
the
cordell
hull
and
costs
came
in
about
10
million
for
about
400
spaces
and
it's
gone
up
over
the
last
few
years.
H
I
approached
the
speaker
and
the
governor
about
put
into
the
budget.
They
both
agreed,
but
we
got
resistance
on
the
other
chamber,
so
we
didn't
run
it
that
year,
then
we
had
the
pandemic
and
had
a
delay,
and
this
year
we're
putting
an
additional
200
million
in
the
rainy
day
fund,
which
we
don't
need.
H
We
can
do
this
now
because
we
can
afford
to.
We
may
not
be
able
to
afford
to
in
a
year
or
two.
We
don't
know
what
the
economy
is
going
to
do.
Our
employees
are
having
to
we're
paying
millions
of
dollars
to
lease.
The
parking
garage
under
the
municipal
auditorium
and
concrete
is
falling
on
their
cars.
H
H
A
K
You,
mr
speaker,
and
to
my
friend
from
rutherford
county.
I
know
we've
talked
about
this
before
this
is
probably
the
least
favorite
thing
I
will
do
all
year.
The
motion
I'm
going
to
make
in
a
moment
because
you've
been
a
champion
for
this
issue
for
three
years
and
for
three
years,
for
whatever
reason,
this
has
not
made
it
into
the
base
budget.
It
has
not
made
it
into
the
planning
when
we're
dealing
with
buildings
and
capital
improvements,
and
it
absolutely
should
it's
one
of
the
best
ideas
I
have
ever
heard.
K
Anybody
bring
forward
as
far
as
a
construction
project
unfortunately
did
not
come
to
committee
through
the
committee
process.
We
have
several
amendments
today,
many
of
which
will
be
very
good
ideas,
but
I,
my
friend,
join
you
in
saying
that
this
needs
to
happen.
It
absolutely
needs
to
happen
here
in
a
second,
I'm
gonna
make
a
motion,
but
I
would
like
to
join
with
you
and
anybody
else
in
this
chamber
that
is
interested
in
this
project,
because
our
employees
need
a
parking
garage
that
is
safe
and
secure
and
state-owned
and
right
next
to
our
building.
K
I
would
like
to
start
that
process
within
the
next
few
weeks.
It
needs
to
be
in
the
base
budget
next
year.
It
needs
to
be
in
the
planning.
It
needs
to
be
something
more
than
just
you
and
I
and
a
few
other
legislators
working
on
this.
It
needs
to
be
general
services
and
the
executive
branch
and
everybody
working
on
this
and
we've
been
waiting
three
years
for
that,
and
I
share
your
frustration
in
the
fact.
It's
not
happened
yet,
I'm
with
you
on
the
project.
A
H
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Thank
you,
leader,
lamberth.
I
appreciate
your
support
of
this
and,
I
believe,
you're
a
co-signer
of
the
bill
that
got
behind
the
budget,
and
you
know
we
have
an
opportunity
to
do
this
this
year
and
I
think
we
should
do
it.
This
isn't
cutting
any
other
program
in
the
budget,
which
is
why
I
chose
this
particular
I
didn't
go
after
sports
stadiums
or
arenas
or
race
tracks
or
health
departments
or
children's
services,
or
anything
else
that
I
disagree
with
on
the
budget.
H
A
A
J
Thank
you
speaker.
I
would
like
to
point
out.
I
believe
I
too,
at
one
time
was
signed
on
a
sponsor
for
the
spill,
I'm
totally
supportive,
totally
supportive
of
providing
this
kind
of
safe
parking
for
our
members,
assistants
and
staff.
The
problem
is,
there
are
a
couple
of
problems.
We
have
a
fiscal
note
on
this.
That
has
not
been
verified.
J
We
have
really
not
done
any
kind
of
planning
to
determine
where
the
best
spot
would
be
and
what
the
cost
would
be
for
doing
it.
And
again,
mr
speaker,
I
would
just
ask
that
members
would
realize
there's
been
a
lot
of
work
that
has
gone
into
this
budget.
There's
a
lot
of
time
and
effort
spent
when
we
start
manipulating
and
changing
things.
It
does
create
a
number
of
problems,
and
with
that,
mr
speaker,
I
would
ask
that
the
members
vote.
No.
Thank
you.
L
L
L
L
H
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
did
actually
make
it
through
the
committee
process.
We
voted
on
it
and
it
went
behind
the
budget.
I'm
asking
for
this
to
be
approved,
because
there
has
been
planning
involved.
We
did
get
estimates
from
the
architect
and
for
400
garage.
The
average
cost
per
spot
of
a
parking
garage
currently
is
just
under
22
000
a
space.
H
I
allocated
36
000
of
space
for
this
particular
facility
on
land
that
we
own
architects
said
the
reason
why
our
garage
was
so
expensive
at
10
million
for
less
space
is
because
it
was
built
between
two
buildings
and
a
large
retaining
wall
against
the
capital.
We
only
need
a
partial
retaining
wall
that
land
is
much
much
lower.
We
only
have
to
go
down
one
floor
below
ground,
so
there's
plenty
of
space
for
it
and
I'm
sure
that
this
would
go
forward.
The
speakers
of
both
houses
and
the
governor
would
appoint
a
committee
or
the
speaker.
H
A
A
B
If
I
could
have
everyone's
attention
a
minute,
I
have
an
amendment
here
that
appropriates
the
sum
of
55
million
non-recurring
to
the
department
of
finance
administration
for
the
sole
purpose
of
making
grants
in
an
equal
amount
to
each
county
for
the
funding
and
construction
of
public
recreation
facilities
or
sports
facilities
or
addresses
the
infrastructure
needs
of
the
county.
And
I
think
everyone
knows.
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
say
that
I
haven't
served
on
the
finance
committee
until
this
year.
B
B
Away
from
nashville
for
the
debt
service
on
the
stadium-
and
it
divides
that
55
million
dollars
to
95
counties
in
the
state
of
tennessee,
now
the
rural
areas
that
I
serve,
they
have
very
little
tax
base.
We
have
almost
no
retail,
so
most
of
our
tax
base
comes
from
property
taxes,
but
we
still
like
ball
fields
and
we
like
tennis
courts
and
we
like
to
have
things
for
our
children,
and
I
promise
you
that
will
not
benefit
from
a
new
sports
facility
in
nashville.
B
A
M
M
The
most
recent,
I
think
we
probably
need
to
be
reminded
of
this.
The
most
recent
is
ford
and
I
have
the
vote
count
in
my
hand
when
we
came
up
here.
The
people
in
my
district
asked
me
to
strongly
consider
not
supporting
ford,
because
why
would
we
come
up
and
vote
to
give
according
to
ecd?
I
had
them
send
me
these
numbers
yesterday,
a
total
of
1.073
billion
dollars
to
a
company
with
a
market
capitalization
value
of
70
billion
dollars.
Why
would
we
come
up
here,
seven
or
eight
months
ago
to
do
that?
M
And
so
I
told
them.
I
was
going
to
listen
to
the
arguments,
listen
to
the
conversation
and
then
I
would
vote,
and
I
voted
in
favor
of
that,
because
it's
good
for
tennessee,
it's
great
for
west
tennessee
generated
5
700
jobs
had
significant
economic
impact.
Does
that
directly
benefit
the
people
that
I
represent,
or
the
people
in
knox
county
know?
Do
the
people
that
I
represent
care
less?
M
M
M
M
The
adams
family
is
divesting
themselves
of
just
about
every
major
business
interest
they
have
in
putting
in
700
million
dollars
the
nfl's
go
and
go
in
for
a
few
hundred
million
more
and
then
we've
got
nashville.
That's
going
to
contribute.
That
is
a
significant
investment,
but
what
we
miss
is
the
bigger
part
of
that
and
what
is
not
talked
about
in
committee.
What
I
have
not
heard
anybody
talk
about
is
around
that
stadium.
There
is
zero
tax
base
right
now,
zero.
M
When
we
invest
in
that
stadium,
there
is
going
to
be
four
billion
dollars
of
private
development.
That
is
not
state
money,
four
billion
dollars
in
private
development
that
will
be
built
over
the
next
10
years
around
that
stadium.
That
will
have
an
economic
impact
of
over
800
million
dollars
and
create
over
10
000
jobs.
M
That
is
a
significant,
significant
impact
to
our
state.
That
stadium
that
we
build
will
then
draw
events
like
the
super
bowl
which
generated
517
million
dollars
of
economic
impact
when
it
was
in
miami
it
will
draw.
It
has
the
potential
to
draw
wrestlemania,
which
has
anywhere
from
150
to
a
300
million
dollar
impact.
A
few
of
us
met
with
w
a
few.
A
few
of
us
met
with
wwe.
M
They
just
had
175
000
people
descend
on
dallas
for
a
week-long
event.
When
those
people
come
to
this
community
or
they
come
to
dallas
or
any
community,
they
stay
in
the
hotels
they
visit
the
restaurants,
it's
a
significant
economic
impact.
All
we
have
to
do
is
look
back
at
the
draft
members,
and
many
of
us
went
over
to
the
draft
the
draft
generated
over
200
million
dollars
in
economic
impact.
250
000
people
came
to
this
state
came
to
nashville.
My
constituents
came
to
nashville
for
the
draft.
M
That
is
significant.
That's
significant
for
a
state
like
ours.
We
always
talk
about
investment
of
tourism
dollars.
This
is
a
significant
investment
in
tourism
dollars.
One
last
point,
mr
speaker:
if
we
bring
this
into
today's
numbers,
according
to
the
numbers
provided
to
me
by
the
titans,
because
I
asked
for
these
numbers
in
eight
sundays
in
2019,
which
is
with
their
last
true
regular
season
before
the
pandemic
in
eight
sundays,
they
generated
a
341
million
dollar
econom
economic
impact
with
roughly
45
million
dollars
in
sales
tax
generated
and
those
were
eight
sundays
out
of
the
year.
M
A
new
stadium
again
will
allow
us
to
have
multiple
events
that
are
world-class
events
that
will
draw
millions
of
people
to
nashville
millions
of
people
to
nashville.
This
is
a
significant
economic
investment.
Just
like
we
did
for
ford.
You
can't
I
do
not
think
and
I'll
be
glad
to
have
this
conversation
with
anybody
right
here
on
the
floor,
how
you
can
vote
to
give
ford
who
has
not
been
partnered
in
this
state
for
25
years,
in
making
investments
in
this
state.
M
I
don't
know
how
we
can
vote
to
give
a
billion
dollars
to
ford
and
then
say:
we've
got
a
24-year
partner
like
the
titans
who
has
invested
in
our
community
who,
when
we
had
a
tornado,
they
wrote
a
check
for
a
million
dollars.
They
had
players
out
with
chainsaws,
waverly
high
school,
which
I
believe
is
in
representative
reedy's
district.
They
came
in,
they
get
50
000
for
a
new
field;
they
bought
them
all
new
washers
and
dryers.
They
partnered
with
the
boys
and
girls
club.
M
I
actually
called
the
titans
this
morning
and
asked
for
their
list
of
community
investments
just
last
year,
and
so,
mr
speaker,
if
you
give
me
just
another
minute,
I
want
to
briefly
touch
on
this
list.
They
are
the
first
sports
franchise
in
the
country
to
begin
hosting
a
regional
spelling
bee
at
nissan
stadium.
They
gave
315
thousand
dollars
to
youth
football
across
our
state.
M
Finally,
mr
speaker,
the
titans
are
partnered,
with
support
financially
and
with
manpower.
These
particular
organizations
100
black
men
in
middle
tennessee,
special
olympics
nashville
food
project,
fill
the
boot
coat
drive,
school
supply,
drive
food
drive,
second
harvest
book,
em,
bridge
ministries
and
toys
for
tots.
So,
what's
my
point
when
you
bring
it
back
to
the
titans,
the
titans
have
been
partnered
with
this
state
for
25
years.
22
states
in
this
country
have
a
pro
football
team.
It
is
an
investment
in
a
partnership
with
a
pro
football
team
for
our
local
community
and
our
state.
M
A
Car
promotion-
probably
second
and
part
million
situation,
is
that
representative
zach
representative
sexton
has
moved
adoption
of
amendment
number.
Six
representative
zachary
have
moved
that
motion
to
the
table
that
cuts
off
all
debate,
except
for
that
of
the
sponsor
representative
sexton.
You
recognize.
B
B
I
support
charities
in
my
community
and
I
don't
have
to
have
500
million
dollars
of
taxpayers
monies
to
do
that.
We
pay
sales,
tax,
10
sales
tax
and
every
poor
person
that
goes
and
buys
a
coke
or
anything
else.
They
have
to
pay
sales
tax
and
you
want
to
take
that
money
out
of
their
pocket
and
give
it
to
people
that
are
millionaires
and
billionaires,
and
I
say
that
it's
wrong:
why
are
we
taking
money
and
investing
in
every
business
in
tennessee?
B
No,
this
is
not
right.
No,
this
is
not
good
for
tennessee
and
we're
acting
just
like
all
the
workplaces.
Great
speech.
You
make
great
speech
to
say
that
we
have
to
do
this
and
we
have
to
be
like
san
francisco
and
those
other
people.
People
are
coming
to
tennessee
because
of
tennessee
has
good
policies.
B
Tennessee
is
a
good
state.
I
don't
want
to
be
like
those
other
places,
and
this
is
garbage
and
when
we
start
taking
tennesseans
taxpayers
money
and
giving
it
to
those
multi-million
billion
dollar
corporations
that
don't
have
our
values,
they
don't
believe
like.
I
believe
they
don't
believe
like
tennessee
believes,
but
you
want
mom
and
dad
and
those
people-
that's
making
10
20
30
000
to
pay
for
a
billion
dollar
stadium
down
here.
It's
time
that
we
stand
up
and
say
no,
I
don't
care
how
much
money
that
they
give
you
or
give
anyone.
B
Listen.
I
say
that
if
they
want
to
invest
it,
let
them
use
their
own
darn
money
to
do
it.
I
don't
think
they
ought
to
be
using
tennessee
taxpayers
and
I
am
not
ashamed
to
stand
up
for
the
taxpayers
of
tennessee
and
say
that
I
believe
let
them
use
their
own
money.
I
don't
want
them
using
my
money.
I
thank
you,
mr
speaker,.
A
All
righty
department
situation
is
that
representative
sexton
has
moved
adoption.
Amendment
number
six
representative
zachary
has
moved
that
motion
to
the
table.
We
are
voting
on
the
tabling
motion,
all
those
in
favor
to
table
vote.
I,
when
the
bill
rings
those
opposed
vote.
No,
as
every
member
voted
the
same
member
which
changed
her
vote.
E
B
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
since
we
want
to
continue
to
give
the
55
million
to
cover
the
debt
to
davidson's
county.
This
amendment
would
take
another
55
million
to
add
to
the
budget,
and
that
way
we
could
divide
that
55
million
by
94
counties
and
to
give
each
of
those
counties
a
portion
of
money
for
their
sports
facilities
and
their
infrastructure.
B
B
So
all
I'm
asking-
and
I
hope
you
hear
me
all
I'm
asking-
is
for
you
to
vote
with
me
to
take
some
money
back
to
your
county.
Would
you
like
to
take
around
600
000
davidson,
county's
gonna
get
55
million.
Surely
surely
grainger
county
can
get
500
and
some
thousand
is
that
too
much
to
ask,
I
think
none!
I
remove
my
emotion.
A
M
A
Parliament
situation
is
that
representative
sexton
has
moved
adoption.
Amendment
number
five
representative
zachary
has
moved
that
motion
to
the
table,
we'll
be
voting
on
the
television
motion,
all
those
in
favor
of
tabling
vote
iowa
when
the
bell
rings.
Those
opposed
vote
no
has
every
member
voted.
Does
any
member
wish?
Let's
change
their
vote.
A
A
A
C
Speaker,
mr
speaker,
at
the
federal
level
we've
been
closing
and
we've
been
decommissioning
private
prisons
and
what
this
amendment
would
do
would
begin
to
move
the
state
into
the
process
of
doing
the
same.
So
with
that,
I
would
move
adoption
of
amendment
seven
to
remove
private
prisons
from
the
budget.
I
Camper,
I
appreciate
what
you're
trying
to
do
in
your
your
intent.
We
had
a
lot
of
discussion
earlier
about
incarceration
recidivism
criminal
justice
reform
and
our
speaker
came
down
and
so
eloquently
put
that
it
starts
at
the
younger
level
work
k
through
12
work
it
up
through
there.
I
think
the
state
our
state
is
moving
in
the
right
direction.
I
I
think
this
budget
has
in
it
the
tools
that
our
current
correctional
facilities
needs
to
do
all
those
things,
and
I
don't
think
decommissioning
prisons
is
a
is
a
smart
move
for
us
at
this
point
in
time.
It's
certainly
something
we
can
look
at
and
think
about
in
the
future,
and,
like
I
said
I
I
think
I
understand
what
you're
trying
to
do.
I
think
we
all
want
to
end
up
at
the
same
place.
A
C
Thank
you,
mr
speaker
and
representative
you're
correct.
The
speaker
did
come
down.
He
spoke
very
very
eloquently
on
the
bill
and
I
agree
with
a
lot
of
what
he
said,
but
at
the
same
time,
with
respect
to
that
very
same
bill
that
he
spoke
on
and
the
100
sentencing
there's
going
to
be
a
need
to
build
even
more
prisons.
C
So,
in
order
to
house
the
people
that
we're
talking
about
the
violent
offenders,
we
will
be
building
more
prisons
and
I
it's
my
opinion
that
they
should
not
be
privately
owned.
This
prisons,
and
so
that's
why
I
was
trying
to
address
it
right
now
in
the
budget,
so
that,
as
we
move
forward,
we
can
begin
to
decommission
and
move
on
from
private
prisons.
So
with
that,
I
would
ask
you
to
vote
against
the
tabling
motion.
A
Permanently
situation
as
representative
camper
has
moved
adoption.
Amendment
number
seven
representative
farmer
has
moved
that
motion
to
the
table.
We
are
voting
on
the
tabling
motion.
All
those
in
favor
to
table
vote
eye
on
the
bell
rings.
Those
opposed
vote,
no,
as
they
remember,
voted
zemer
which
changed
their
vote.
G
G
B
Yet
it
pains
me
to
do
that
for
my
because
of
my
personal
affinity
for
the
sponsor
of
this
amendment,
the
I
think
we
are
going
to
show
support
to
the
particularly
the
davidson
county
area
in
a
very
strong
way
very
soon,
and
so,
as
a
result
of
that,
mr
speaker
and
I
know
that
they've
the
budget
has
also
been
very
kind
to
my
home
area
as
well.
So
with
that,
mr
speaker,
I'm
going
to
have
to
move
this
amendment
number
eight
to
the
table.
A
G
G
You
know,
obviously
the
pandas
don't
need
any
more
bamboo,
but
I
renew
my
motion.
I
think
we
need
to
invest
in
these
facilities
across
the
state.
We
have
enough
money
to
do
that,
while
we're
not
with
some
of
the
money
that's
been
spent,
other
places
is
beyond
me.
Covet
was
hard
on
all
these
facilities
that
bring
tourists
to
our
state
that
bring
dollars
to
our
state
and
with
that
being
said,
I
ask
you
to
vote
against
the
tabling
motion.
A
Permanent
situations,
representative
mitchell,
has
moved
adoption.
Amendment
number
eight
representative
vaughn
has
moved
that
motion
to
the
table.
We
are
voting
on
the
tabling
motion,
all
those
in
favor
of
tabling
vote.
I,
with
the
bell
rings
those
opposed
vote.
No,
as
you
remember,
voted
as
man
was
change,
revoked.
G
Yeah,
thank
you
speaker
saxon.
This
is
an
amendment.
Last
year
we
had,
I
think,
1.2
million
dollars
in
the
budget
for
tim
tebow
and
again
this
year,
we've
got
1.2
million
dollars
in
the
budget
for
tim
tebow.
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
not-for-profits
in
this
state
that
are
doing
the
same
work.
In
fact,
I
think
there's
an
amendment
following
this
to
use
this
money
by
tennesseans
to
hire
tennesseans
instead
of
giving
more
money
to
tim
tebow,
for
I
thought
a
photo
op
we
paid
for
last
year.
A
F
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
thank
you
to
my
friend
from
davidson
county
this.
This
is
a
multi-year
commitment
that
this
body
started
last
year,
which
assists
those
men,
women
and
children
who
are
victims
of
sex
trafficking,
and
so
with
that,
I
think
it's
something
that
we
should
continue
to
do,
and
so
with
that
being
said,
mr
speaker,
I
move
this
amendment
to
the
table.
A
G
G
A
Q
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Amendment
10
was
going
to
take
the
tim
tebow
money
and
invest
it
in
the
truck
stop
ministries,
which
already
has
a
line
item
in
the
budget.
We
were
just
going
to
use
that
tim
tb
t
bow
money
for
the
same
purpose
for
a
state-based
organization
to
hire
tennesseans
and
do
good
work
in
tennessee.
Q
A
F
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
thank
you
to
my
good
friend
from
davidson
county.
There
is
love
in
the
house,
and
so
I
recognize
that,
but
you
are
right.
The
rest
stop
ministry,
not
that
love
just
regular
normal
bro
love,
but
I
think
the
I
think
the
the
member
for
this.
The
rest
stop
is
a
fantastic,
as
you
said,
it's
fantastic
nonprofit
and
I'm
happy
to
support
the
50
000
that
we
put
in
there
for
them
as
well.
F
A
A
Department
situation
is
that
representative
clemens
has
moved
adoption
of
amendment
number
10,
representing
williams,
has
moved
that
most
to
the
table.
We
are
voting
on
the
tabling
motion,
all
those
in
favor
vote
aye
when
the
bell
rings.
Those
opposed
vote
no
has
every
member
voted
same
or
what's
changer
vote.
Q
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
would
ask
my
colleagues
to
adopt
amendment
11..
What
this
amendment
does
is
it
cuts
the
governor's
annual
salary
by
50
in
the
next
fiscal
year,
hey
if
you're
going
to
get
50
effort,
50
pay,
so
this
governor
cut
federal
unemployment
benefits
for
working
tennessee
families.
So
if
we're
going
to
cut
pay
to
working
families
in
tennessee,
let's
cut
the
governor's
pay
making
that
unilateral
decision.
Thank
you
mission.
Thank
you.
Remove
adoption.
H
B
A
Q
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
I
appreciate
that
motion.
Don't
intend
this
to
be
hateful
if
I
thought
he
needed
the
money,
I
probably
wouldn't
bring
it,
but
we're
only
investing
about
half
what
our
public
schools
need.
We've
cut,
federal
unemployment
benefits
for
working,
tennessee
families.
He
made
that
decision
unilaterally.
Q
A
For
many
situations
that
represent
clemens
has
moved
to
adoption.
Amendment
number
11.,
representative
faison,
has
moved
that
motion
to
the
table.
We're
voting
on
the
tabling
motion,
all
those
in
favor
of
tabling
vote
eye
when
the
bell
rings.
Those
opposed
vote
no,
as
every
member
voted
same
always
change
their
vote.
Q
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
amendment
simply
establishes
an
office
of
internal
auditor
and
funds
it
in
the
office
of
the
attorney
general
of
tennessee.
We
time
and
again
see
frivolous
appeals
being
filed
and
proactively
taking
legal
action
that
has
no
constitutional
basis
and
threats
our
democracy.
So
with
that,
I
would
ask
that
we
create
an
office
to
independently
audit
the
tennessee
attorney
general.
Thank
you.
A
move,
adoption
of
amendment
12.
K
A
G
G
So
there's
another
recurring
16
million
dollars,
that's
going
into
the
administration!
Time
and
time
again
I
hear
charter
schools
or
public
schools.
So
if
they're
public
schools,
then
why
are
we
funding
them
different
than
we're
funding
our
public
schools?
So
I
don't
see
the
necessity
since
their
public
schools
to
have
this
32
million
dollars.
You
know
they
can
get
in
line
just
like
the
schools
in
my
district.
Thank
you.
I
renew
my
motion.
A
B
B
Now
our
the
representative
from
davidson
county
says
they
are
public
schools,
but
yet
they
are
not
funded
equally
and
one
of
the
reasons
is
they
don't
get
local
funding
or
they
cannot
issue
a
local
bonds
for
facilities,
and
so
there
is
a
weakness
there
that
we
have
never
filled
in.
So
therefore,
we
have
grant
funding
for
for
our
charter
schools,
and
so
this
grant
funding
helps
address
that
gap.
And
with
that
in
mind,
mr
speaker,
I
would
ask
that
we
as
a
body
that
we
move
to
table
amendment
13.
despite.
A
G
G
You
know
you
every
year,
my
my
local
school
system
is
millions
of
dollars
in
the
red
starting
off,
because
we
pass
legislation
up
here
where
we
have
to
contractually
give
these
charter
schools
more
and
more
money
there,
a
private
business
most
of
the
time,
because
my
local
school,
we
don't
create
reits
with
our
buildings,
like
they
do
with
charter
schools.
So
what
you're
wanting
to
do
is
give
these
people
money.
G
So
these
private
individuals
can
invest
in
all
this
real
property
and
then
they
sell
it
for
a
profit
using
state
money
and
then
they
split
it
up
amongst
themselves,
usually
the
out
of
state
people,
namely
the
andre
agassi's
of
the
world
and
you're
funding.
It
you're
funding
our
our
children's
money
to
go
to
these
multi-millionaires
out
of
state
that
don't
care
about
education
in
this
state
whatsoever.
A
Primary
situations
representative
mitchell,
has
moved

number
amendment
number
13,
representative
white
has

that
most
to

Q
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
What
this
amendment
would
do
is
provide
free
school
meals
to
every
every
child
in
tennessee,
public
schools.
Hunger
affects
every
child
in
the
state
of
tennessee
who
cannot
afford
it.
It
is
an
adverse
childhood
experience.
We
know
that
it
has
a
direct
impact
on
educational
performance
and
outcomes.
Q
It
results
in
bullying,
which
is
also
an
ace
and
over
90
percent
of
tennesseans
polled
by
vanderbilt,
recently
said
that
they
supported
providing
free
meals
to
every
public
school
student
in
the
state
of
tennessee.
I
believe
this
is
the
way
to
do
it
and
if
we're
gonna
prioritize
education,
educational
outcomes,
I
would
love
to
see
us
provide
free
school
meals.
Finally,
we've
been
providing
free
textbooks.
Since
the
1950s
we
make
these
children
attend
public
school,
we
should
be
providing
them
meals.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.

representative
haston
has

they
remember

they
may
always
change

Q
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
What
this
amendment
would
do
is
increase
bep
funding
in
the
next
school
year
by
1.7
billion
dollars.
This
is
precisely
what
tasser
said
was
needed
in
its
2019
report
on
the
topic,
so
the
tsa
legislation,
if
we
pass
it,
won't
go
into
effect
for
two
years.
So
in
the
meantime,
let's
actually
fully
fund
the
bep
and
see
what
the
real
problem
is
in
the
state
of
tennessee
and
why
we're
not
getting
educational
outcomes
that
we
desire?
Q

already
includes
a
fully
funding
of
the
bep
as
it
is
currently
written
for
next
year's
22-23
school
budget
or
school
year.
Now
next
week,
we'll
have
the
opportunity
on
this
floor
to
discuss
a
new
funding
formula
which
you've
heard
is
called
tisa,
and
we
will
take
that
up
then,
and
that
would
be
for
the
23-24
school
year.
B
A
Q
Q
Tasser
itself
said
we
underfund
the
bp
by
1.7
billion
dollars
a
year,
and
this
is
three
years
ago.
This
is
only
increased.
We
are
going
to
provide
an
increase
of
funding,
but
it's
being
used
as
a
carrot
to
pass
a
tesa
bill.
We
know
that,
but
that's
not
going
to
affect
until
another
year
or
two
for
the
next
year
next
school
year.
Let's
actually
increase
the
bp
funding
and
fully
fund
bep.
Q
For
once
and
let's
see
what
happens,
every
one
of
your
districts
has
teachers
outside
the
bp.
Everyone
in
your
district
has
teachers
buying
their
own
school
supplies.
Every
one
of
your
districts
has
underfunded
schools,
let's
fully
phone
the
bep
for
once
ask
you
to
vote
against
a
tabling
motion.
Thank
you.
Permanent.
A
E
Mr
speaker,
we
have
amendment
16,
representative
mitchell.
However,
after
conferring
with
council
amendment,
16
has
been
deemed
to
be
out
outside
the
scope
of
the
caption
senate.
Bill
2897
makes
appropriations
for
fiscal
years,
beginning
july,
1,
2021
and
july
1
2022,
the
appropriation
bill
can't
be
amended
or
repeal
a
general
law.
Amendment
16
reports
to
amend
general
law
provisions
not
included
in
the
caption.
E
E
A
A
G
Yeah,
thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
will
give
everyone
the
opportunity
to
give
a
90
90
day,
moratorium
on
the
gas
and
food
tax
to
your
citizens.
You
know
we're
giving
so
much
to
so
many
people
out
of
state
in
this
budget.
Let's
give
something
to
every
tennessean
in
this
budget,
and
this
will
cut
the
gas
and
food
tax
for
90
days
will
not
take
a
dime
away
from
the
highway
fund
to
do
it,
and
this
is
the
way
we've
got
to
do
it
since
they've
said
it's.
G
A
A
Q
You,
mr
speaker,
I've
admit
20
with
simply
since
you
didn't
like
representative
mitchell's,
for
whatever
reason
mine
simply
gives
the
90-day
tax
freeze
on
motor
fuel
sold
at
retail
stations
in
the
state
of
tennessee.
So
if
you
didn't
like
the
food
tax
portion
of
his,
let's
just
freeze
the
gas
tax,
that's
what
my
amendment
does
on
the
passage
or
consider
I
mean
a
consideration
of
amendment
20.
A
A
E
A
A
A
J
J
We
have
learned
from
ecd
that
they
have
concerns
about
not
being
able
to
utilize
those
monies,
so
this
just
provides
language
that
would
authorize
acd
to
use
to
move
monies
reallocate
monies
within
their
budget
to
cover
these
grants.
Should
they
decide
that
they
were
necessary.
With
that,
mr
speaker,
I
would
leave
adoption.
A
It's
not
timely,
so
we
have
to
consider
you've
heard
the
motion.
We're
voting
for
consideration
of
amendment
one
to
amendment
number.
Three,
all
those
in
favor
of
considering
amendment
number
one
to
amendment
number
three
vote.
Iowa
in
the
bell
rings.
Those
opposed
vote.
No
has
every
member
voted
zeman
which
changed
their
vote.
A
J
A
H
A
J
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
amendment
simply
clarifies
corrects
a
drafting
error
when
we
talk
about
the
budget
here
in
a
few
minutes,
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
tax
cuts,
including
waiving
of
fees
for
state,
for
your
license
tags
inadvertently
in
the
budget
language,
as
originally
written.
Those
dollars
were
coming
out
of
the
highway
fund
to
fund
that
that
was
never
our
intent.
This
simply
says
that
those
funds
will
be
coming
from
the
general
fund.
With
that,
I
would
move
for
consideration.
A
A
A
H
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
for
clarification.
Did
any
of
the
actions
we've
taken
previously
strip
off
the
amendment
that
was
made
to
fund
the
parking
garage
did
any
of
those
actions?
Was
that
included
in
any
of
the
motions
voice
vote
or
anything
we
just
put
on
the
board?
Is
that
still
in
the
budget
amendment.
H
This
point
of
clarity,
we,
the
body,
voted
earlier
to
add
an
amendment
to
the
budget
that
funded
a
parking
garage,
I
believe,
is
that
still
in
the
budget,
language
did
any
of
the
amendments.
We
just
adopted
that
any
of
the
voice
votes
any
of
anything
in
the
board,
stripped
that
amendment
off
the
legislation.
J
H
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
I
just
would
like
the
journal
to
reflect
that.
The
that
emotion
was
made
before
this
body.
That
motion
was
passed
and
then
it
was
undone
without
explanation
to
the
body
as
much
as
I
value
the
work
of
the
finance
committee
and
those
in
leadership,
it
seems
the
responsibility
of
those
that
are
leading
procedure
to
inform
the
members
of
what
they're
voting
on
if
they
don't
have
the
time
to
timely
review
the
documentation
before
them.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,.
A
E
B
A
G
Thank
you,
mr
could
you
please
explain
what's
in
this
amendment,
because
you
know
we
don't
want
that
to
happen
again.
I
guess
we're
gonna
have
to
go
through
every
amendment
now
and
and
explain
everything
in
it
and
I
don't
care
if
it
takes
two
hours.
You
know
if,
if
you're
not
gonna
be
honest
with
us,
we're
gonna
have
to
go
through
every
amendment.
J
A
J
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
I
was
premature
a
minute
ago.
I
want
to
start
out
again
by
saying
this
is
the
culmination
of
a
great
deal
of
work
on
behalf
of
the
administration,
the
finance
committee
and
members
of
this
body.
I
want
to
thank
the
members
of
the
finance
committee
who
spent
untold
hours
in
budget
hearings.
J
I'm
hearing
seeing
some
nods
from
members
countless
hours
lots
of
questions
digging
down
into
the
budget
and
I
think
an
opportunity
for
all
of
you
to
listen
to
what
was
being
proposed
by
the
administration,
to
listen
to
what
your
folks
back
home
would
have
had
you
to
do
and
give
us
an
opportunity
to
put
our
stamp
on
this
budget,
and
I
think,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
hope,
when
you
leave
here,
that
you
will
feel
that
it
is
your
budget.
This
is
a
budget
from
this
legislature.
J
J
J
We
care
about
taking
care
of
our
families,
we're
doing
that
in
this
budget
in
myriad
of
ways,
including
work
that
we're
doing
in
health
in
education,
workforce
development,
because
all
of
us
want,
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
want
for
our
elderly
to
be
cared
for,
and
we
want
our
children
to
have
an
opportunity
for
a
better
life
than
we
had
that's
what
every
tennessean
wants.
There
are
many
things
in
this
budget
that
will
help
us
accomplish
that
we
want
to
be
safe.
We
want
to
be
safe
in
our
homes.
J
We
want
to
be
safe
in
our
streets.
We
passed
legislation
just
prior
to
this
is
going
to
help
make
that
happen,
and
it's
funded
in
this
budget.
We're
responsible,
we're
responsible
as
citizens
individually
and
we're
responsible
as
a
state.
We
pay
our
bills.
You'll
see
us
doing
that
in
this
budget
and
we're
investing
in
our
future.
We're
making
sure
that
tennesseans
down
the
road
are
going
to
continue
to
have
the
opportunities
that
you
and
I
have
had
and
we're
being
very
physically
conservative.
J
We
have
recognized,
we
are
in
unprecedented
times
in
terms
of
dollars
available,
but,
as
a
good
friend
of
mine
has
told
me
many
times
just
because
you
can
doesn't
mean
you
should,
and
just
because
we
have
all
this
money
doesn't
mean
we
should
spend
it,
and
we
are
not
we're
giving
money
back
to
the
taxpayers,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
statement
c
doesn't
have
any
money
that
doesn't
come
from
someone
else
it
does.
It
comes
from
businesses.
J
J
There
have
been
some
questions
about
the
fact
that
the
initial
budget
for
that
fiscal
year,
when
we
left
here
the
first
time,
was
42.6
billion
dollars
that
was
increased
by
over
8
billion
dollars
because
of
federal
coded
relief
funding
that
was
had
to
be
recognized
in
the
budget.
There's
a
total
of.
J
In
this
year's
budget,
the
budget
that
we're
getting
ready
to
pass,
it
also
includes
federal
funds
appropriated
through
the
american
rescue
plan
and
what
we've
tried
to
do
in
this
budget.
We've
not
recognized
every
dollar,
because
some
of
these
dollars,
we
are
just
simply
not
sure.
If
they're
going
to
continue
to
be
here,
we
can
it's
very
difficult
to
tell
in
the
excess
funds
that
we're
collecting
how
much
is
driven
by
these
excess
federal
revenues
that
we're
not
accustomed
to
having,
and
that
will
at
some
point
go
away.
J
J
You
know
smarter
people
than
I
are
predicting
recessions,
starting
early
as
early
as
next
year.
This
puts
us
in
position
if
we
have
to
deal
with
that
sort
of
issue
we'll
have
the
dollars
in
the
rainy
day
fund
to
do
so.
We
also,
I
mentioned
that
we
pay
our
bills,
we're
adding
350
million
dollars
to
towards
our
pension
liabilities
and
other
employment
benefits
and
300
million
dollars
toward
the
tcsrs
tcrs
funding.
That
means
that
tennesseans
can
be
sure
that
the
employees
of
the
state
will
have
the
funds
that
they're
promised
when
they
retire.
J
I
mean
300
million
dollars
in
tax
cuts,
we're
doing
it
in
a
myriad
of
ways.
Some
of
that
is
recurring.
Some
of
some
of
it
is
non-recurring.
I'm
going
to
hit
some
highlights
one
of
the
things
that
we've
talked
about
for
several
years
through
several
sessions
pretty
much
the
whole
time.
I've
been
here
for
the
eight
years
is
professional
privilege
tax
this
year,
we're
eliminating
doctors
from
that
category.
J
We
have
a
need
for
doctors
in
the
state.
We
have
historically
gradually
eliminated
these
kinds
of
taxes,
just
like
we
did
with
the
hall
tax
with
the
professional
privilege
tax.
We
have
worked
on
that
category
by
category
and
this
year
we're
adding
doctors
to
that
that
eliminates
that's
9.7
million
dollars
in
tax
cuts.
J
J
J
That
has
been
a
hodgepodge
in
the
tax
code
this
year.
We're
overhauling
that
and
we're
following
along
the
model
of
what
we
do
for
manufacturers,
and
that
is,
if
you
are
a
certified
farmer
in
the
state
and
you're
buying
materials
that
are
needed
in
your
agricultural
process.
You
will
not
be
paying
tax
on
those
materials
that
is
going
to
make
a
big
difference
for
farmers
in
the
state
of
tennessee.
J
We
are
for
the
first
time
ever.
I
mentioned
this
earlier,
but
120
million
dollars
in
one-time
tax
cuts,
because
when
you
go
buy
your
tag,
beginning
july,
1st
of
this
year
through
june
30
of
next
year,
when
you
go
by
your
tag
for
your
personal
car
or
your
motorcycle,
you
will
not
pay
the
state
portion
of
that
license
fee.
That's
121
million
dollars,
that's
for
tennesseans
in
the
state.
J
We
are
also
continuing
our
annual
sales
tax
holiday.
That's
10
million
dollars.
That's
not
a
new
tax
cut!
It's
considered
already
in
the
budget.
We
are
also
governor
head
in
the
budget.
Already
we
will
continue
to
uphold
a
month-long
sales
tax
food
holiday
in
august.
That's
80
million
dollars
worth
of
tax
credits.
Here's
some
other
things
that
I
think
are
going
to
be
interesting
to
your
folks
back
home.
J
We
are
putting
a
million
dollars
for
county
and
regional
affairs
in
addition
to
what
the
governor
already
had
in
his
base
budget.
So
there
will
be
a
grant
opportunity
for
our
county
fairs
across
the
state,
we're
putting
in
one
million
dollars
for
competitive
grants
for
senior
centers
last
year.
That
was
400
000
we've
up
that
considerably
we're
doing
a
million
dollar
grant
for
adult
universal
adult
changing
tables,
and
that's
in
addition
to
what
tdot
is
doing
out
of
their
own
budget.
They
will
be
installing
those
changing
tables
in
welcome
centers
across
the
state.
J
We
have
two
million
dollars
in
a
grant
fund
for
rescue
squads
and
five
million
dollars
for
volunteer
fire
departments.
Last
year
we
had
a
million
dollars
in
the
fund
for
volunteer
fire
departments.
We
got
in
5
million
worth
of
requests.
So
assuming
the
requests
are
similar
this
year,
we
won't
be
able
to
fund
all
of
those.
J
We
are
also
funding
a
number
of
organizations,
statewide
that
do
work
across
the
state
in
all
three
grand
divisions,
the
epilepsy
foundation,
boys
and
girls,
clubs,
big
brothers
and
big
sisters.
For
instance,
this
budget
includes
465
billion
dollars
in
funding
for
employee
salaries
and
benefits,
and
that
includes
a
market
rate
study
of
120
million
dollars
to
help
us
find
out
what
we
need
to
do
to
pay
competitive
prices
for
our
employees
to
keep
employees
in
positions
that
are
critical
for
the
state.
J
In
education,
in
addition
to
the
tesa
bill
that
we
will
be
considering
next
week
as
a
part
of
that,
this
budget
includes
500
million
dollars
for
cte
grants,
two
for
281
high
schools,
four
million
dollars
each
and
four
hundred
middle
schools
and
with
five
hundred
thousand
and
then
seventy
small
schools
with
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Each
there's
recurring
money
for
funding
to
continue
sermon
learning
camps
that
have
proved
to
be
both
popular
with
parents
and
students
and
effective
in
reducing
learning
loss
in
higher
education.
For
the
first
time
since
2008
we're
increasing
the
hope,
scholarship.
J
Economic
development
we're
18
million
dollars,
is
going
to
construct
and
establish
a
new
tennessee
entrepreneurial
science
and
technology
hub
at
ut,
martin
we're
providing
additional
grant
money
to
launch
tennessee
for
their
entrepreneurial
work
and
their
across
the
state,
and
there
is
10
million
funding
historical
development
grant
programs
for
business
developers
not
for
profits
and
communities
so
that
they
can
rehab
our
historic
buildings
and
they
don't
get
lost
to
the
wrecking
ball.
We're
doing
a
number
of
things
in
health
and
mental
health
already
many
of
them
already
in
the
base
budget.
J
But
there's
six
million
dollars
recurring
to
expand
clinical
treatment
services
to
the
uninsured,
those
tennesseans
who
have
substance
disorders
who
just
really
wreck
their
lives
and
their
families
lives.
There
will
be
money
and
opportunity
and
hope
for
those
we're
adding
five
billion
dollars
to
the
health
care
safety
net.
We
are
providing
funding
for
mental
health,
the
mental
health
treatment
act
of
2022
and
we're
doing
additional
funding
for
an
organization
called
centerstone.
Over
and
above
what
the
governor
has
in
his
budget.
J
They
provide
our
veterans
with
mental
health
assistance
for
our
children
in
tennessee,
we're
adding
five
million
dollars
for
the
children's
advocacy
centers
we're
having
9.7
million
dollars
to
increase
the
salaries
for
our
dcs
workers,
so
that
we
can
keep
those
folks
on
the
job
bring
more
folks
back.
They
have
a
caseload
right
now
that
this
is
totally
unmanageable.
J
So
this
will
be
something
that
will
help
us
to
make
sure
that
we're
caring
for
our
most
vulnerable
of
citizens,
our
small
children
in
the
state
there's
33.8
million
dollars
for
the
tennessee
foster's
hope
program,
and
that
will
allow
us
to
expand
child
care
vouchers
so
that
foster
parents
and
for
foster
parents
and
adoptive
children,
law
and
safety.
We
have
passed
just
a
few
minutes
ago.
Maybe
it
was
hours.
J
J
J
There's
179
million
dollars
in
this
budget
to
complete
the
full
construction
of
the
tennessee
advanced
communications
network
coverage
that
will
make
sure
that
there's
full
mobile
connectivity
across
all
of
tennessee
for
emerging
emergency
communications
and
for
our
law
enforcement.
There's
many
other
things
in
this
budget.
I
know
there
are
many
questions,
so
I'm
going
to
stop
now
and
just
answer
those
questions
from
members
of
the
body.
I
Mr
speaker,
and
to
we
we
appreciate
all
the
hard
work
that
all
the
committee
has
done
with
the
chair,
lady
hazelwood
and
chairman
hicks.
There.
I
have
one
little
question
I'd
like
to
ask,
though,
please
I
introduced
a
bill.
It's
hb
2012
to
restore
the
historic
sharing
of
the
sales
tax
revenues
with
our
cities
and
towns.
For
nearly
60
years,
the
state
shared
a
small
percentage
of
the
sales
tax
designated
for
the
general
fund
with
cities
in
2002.
I
Now
it's
it's
been
20
years
and
and
myself
and
a
number
of
our
colleagues
support
restoring
this
sharing
relationship
because,
as
you
know,
that
went
behind
the
budget,
I
believe,
but
this
budget
does
not
include
any
of
those
funds
dedicated
to
ensure
the
state
begins
to
share
all
the
sales
tax
dollars
generated
from
the
general
fund.
Is
that
correct.
I
And
just
just
really,
I
think
we
have
come
to
an
agreement
now
that
we're
probably
going
to
take
this
back
up
next
year
and
we're
going
to
look
at
this
diligently
because
just
for
facts
so
that
you'll
know
about
this.
Today,
92
percent
of
the
sales
tax
of
the
sales
state's
total
sales
tax
collections
are
generated
within
city
limits.
I
Thus
this
sharing
amounts
to
a
practice
of
returning
the
cities,
a
small
portion
of
the
estate
sales
tax
revenue
in
order
to
reduce
the
local
tax
burden
and
a
burden
that
is
borne
by
that
it
was
born
by
the
city
taxmakers
and
is
directly
associated
with
keeping
this
state's
economy
going.
So
I
appreciate
what
we've
done
today.
I
J
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
As
the
representative
has
mentioned,
this
is
something
that
I'm
sure
will
get
further
discussion
in
other
years,
but,
as
I
mentioned
in
the
beginning,
we
couldn't
fund
everything
in
this
budget.
We
have
a
great
deal
of
money,
but
we
still
do
not
have
the
money
to
fund
everything,
and
I
think
it
was
more
important
to
make
sure
that
we
got
tax
cuts
back
in
people's
pockets
than
perhaps
tax
cuts
to
local
governments
who
also
at
this
particular
time,
have
funds
that
they
have
received
from
through
various
federal
sources.
E
H
I
was
at
the
back
of
the
room
and
did
not
know,
but
they
stripped
that
out
of
the
budget
on
a
sleeper
which
I
didn't
know
was
coming,
and
I
have
this
amendment
is
the
same
exact
amendment
to
put
it
back
in
the
budget
again
number
22,
so
it
does
the
same
thing:
allocating
15
million
from
the
rainy
day
allocation
of
200
million,
and
I
ask
for
your
reconsideration,
so
this
body's
will
can
be
put
back
in
the
budget
where
it
belongs.
Thank
you.
A
A
C
I'm
glad
that
we're
putting
money
into
the
projects
you
talked
about
we're
putting
money
into
the
programs
you
talked
about,
but
I
also
want
us
to
remember
that
there's
still
a
great
number
of
important
things-
that's
not
included
in
this
budget,
and
there
are
things.
That's
missing
that
I
think
we
should
at
least
bring
some
attention
to.
C
And,
as
you
mentioned,
we
are
continuing
to
debate
on
education,
but
we're
still
millions
away
from
the
amount
of
money
we
should
be
putting
into
our
education
system
billions.
In
fact,
over
the
years
again,
mr
speaker,
madam
sponsor,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
hard
work
and
for
all
the
many
of
us
that's
in
this
room,
including
members
and
staff,
because
we
have
worked
hard,
but
I
just
wanted
us
to
get
on
the
record,
mr
speaker
and
speak
for
the
millions
of
tennesseans
and
their
families
that
we
still
have
a
long
way
to
go.
C
J
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
later
camper.
I
don't
know
that.
There's
anyone
in
this
body
who
would
disagree
that
we
still
have
work
to
do,
but
I
think
we
can
be
proud
of
the
work
that
we
have
done
today,
the
funds
that
we
have
expended
and
that
we
are
directing
towards
just
those
areas
that
you
mentioned
along
with
others.
C
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
I
agree
with
you.
I
would
hope
that
next
year
or
as
the
leader
said
a
minute
ago
in
july
of
this
year,
as
we
sit
down
moving
forward,
that
we
can
talk
about
those
issues
early
on
in
the
budget
process,
but
we
can
come
together
around
health
care
and
say
this
is
something
that
the
state
need
to
be
moving
toward,
particularly
around
mental
health.
C
J
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
just
do
want
to
point
out
again.
I
think
we
all
recognize
that
we
have
a
mental
health
and
drug
problem,
they're
very
related
in
the
state
and
I'm
sure
in
50
states
across
the
country,
but
our
budget
does
include
6
million
recurring
dollars
that
will
be
used
to
expand
clinical
treatment
services
to
the
uninsured
to
those
who
cannot
have
do
not
have
access
to
those
that
kind
of
treatment
for
their
addictions,
so
that
is
in
this
budget.
There's
five
million
additional
dollars
in
the
health
care
safety
net.
J
We
are
requiring
health
benefits
plans.
This
is
a
something
new
for
the
women
in
the
state
of
tennessee.
We're
requiring
health
benefit
plans
to
provide
expanded
coverage
for
mammograms
and
we're
providing
funding.
Again,
as
I
mentioned,
to
implement
the
mental
health
treatment
act
so
recognizing
the
problem
and
we
were
attacking
it
and
we
are
committed-
and
I
know
your
caucus
is
as
committed
as
mine-
is
to
addressing
those
issues
going
forward.
B
Many
of
you
said
on
the
education
committees.
Many
of
you
said
on
budget.
I
don't
nor
do
my
constituents
back
in
the
grade
38
to
to
you,
chair,
lady
there's
still
some
confusion,
including
mine
myself.
When
it
comes
to
the
tisa
funding,
could
you
give
me
a
little
better
understanding
of
the
road
map?
Just
this,
this
funding
did
was
not
included
in
today's
vote.
Is
that
correct,
yes
or
no
charlotte
hazelwood.

The
cities
of
dallas,
minneapolis,
los
angeles,
atlanta
and
las
vegas
have
recently
built
dome
stadiums,
and
these
cities
could
provide
us
with
real
and
accurate
data
on
the
return
on
investment.
Those
projects
have
provided
three
of
those
projects.
I
remind
you,
have
been
built
by
the
owners
of
those
nfl
franchises,
dallas,
los
angeles
and
las
vegas.
H
A
M
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
I
appreciate
my
good
friend
from
murray
county,
my
former
seat
mate
for
two
years,
very
appreciative
of
his
friendship,
his
passion
and
the
amendment
members.
I
can
assure
you-
and
I
can
assure
tennesseans,
arriving
in
this
building
every
monday
for
eight
straight
weeks
at
nine
o'clock
and
sitting
in
budget
hearings
for
six
hours.
Thank
you,
chair,
lady
hazelwood.
I
can
assure
you
meeting
for
meeting
and
finance
on
tuesdays
meeting
on
thursdays
after
session.
M
I
can
assure
you
that
we
have
taken
our
time
and
we
have
done
all
the
due
diligence
we
can
to
thoroughly
vet.
Not
only
this
issue,
but
all
others
and
again
I'll
just
quickly
go
back
to,
and
I
promise
members
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
everything
I
went
into
last
time,
but
just
I
want
to
take
our
f
a
numbers
and
the
projections
related
to
the
stadium.
This
is
related
to
the
stadium
235
million
dollars
in
tax
revenue
from
nfl
games
that
will
be
played
in
that
stadium.
M
182
million
tax
dollars
from
the
mixed
use
development
around
the
stadium,
414
million
dollars
related
to
the
entire
campus
development
for
a
net
of
207
million
dollars
on
the
investment
that
we
make
in
that
stadium,
again
members,
whether
it's
ford,
amazon,
facebook
whomever
it
may
be,
we
make
oracle.
We
make
significant
investments
with
an
incredible
rate
of
return.
M
A
H
H
We're
not
talking
a
borrowing
here
of
a
couple
million
dollars,
we're
talking
something
that's
going
to
economically,
possibly
change
nashville
to
the
surrounding
area.
For
a
long
long
time
and
with
we
and
we've
been
told
that
the
titans
are
going
to
have
to
secure
their
funding,
we'll
be
considering
a
bill
on
on
the
floor
monday
that
allows
nashville
to
start
to
secure
their
money.
H
H
Our
fna
people
have
not
been
in
minneapolis,
have
not
been
in
los
angeles,
have
not
been
in
las
vegas
and
talk
to
those
people
and
if
they
have,
they
haven't
disseminated
to
us
all.
We're
asking.
For
is
more
time
more
time
to
consider
this
as
we
move
forward
and
be
cautious
to
make
sure
we
do
what's
best
for
all
tennesseans.
Mr
speaker,
I
asked
everybody
to
vote
no
on
the
tailgating
motion.
A
Permanent
situations,
representative
piccia,
has
moved
adoption.
Amendment
number
two
representative
zachary
has
moved
that
motion
to
the
table.
We
are
voting
on
the
tabling
motion,
all
those
in
favor
to
table
vote
when
the
bell
rings.
Those
opposed
vote
no
has
every
member
voted.
Does
any
member
which
change
their
vote.
D
Adding
this
burden
on
the
backs
of
the
taxpayers
of
this
state
is
something
that's
not
flying
very
well
in
my
district,
and
I
doubt
many
of
your
districts
folks
may
not
have
stopped
you
yet,
but,
as
folks
are
seeing
this
on
the
news,
it's
kind
of
an
odd
thing,
they're
coming
up
to
me
and
and
normally
they'll
talk
about
the
merits
of
something
or
pros
and
cons,
but
this
one
they're
just
saying
this
doesn't
even
make
sense.
Why
would
we
do
this
as
a
state?
This
does
not
make
sense.
D
Surely
you're
not
going
to
vote
for
this,
and
I
don't
get
a
lot
of
feedback
from
my
constituents,
but
this
is
one
thing:
I'm
getting
feedback
on
stadium
subsidies
historically,
and
this
is
not
looking
at
predictions
that
somebody
paid
for
that
was
quoted
earlier.
This
is
looking
at
history.
Actual
facts.
Subsidies
do
not
pay
for
themselves
in
stadiums,
the
cost-benefit
analysis
provided
by
team
officials
and
f
a
is
fundamentally
flawed.
D
No
one
has
shown
me
that
this
is
even
constitutionally
what
the
state
can
or
should
be
doing,
investing
in
property
that
we
don't
even
own.
We
have
nothing
invested.
We
have
nothing
there
that
we
own,
like
a
state
park
or
other
properties
around
the
state,
no
assurance
that
this
team
will
even
stay
here.
D
There's
no
assurance
that
any
venues
will
come
here
among
economists,
including
mtsu's
daniel
smith,
there's
a
clear
consensus
that
stadium
subsidies
make
little
sense.
In
particular,
sports
subsidies
failed
to
pay
for
themselves.
They
failed
to
create
the
net
economic
growth,
that's
always
predicted,
and
they
failed
to
pass
the
cost-benefit
test.
D
D
The
titans
cost
benefit
analysis
of
the
proposed
new
stadium
to
justify
the
use
of
public
subsidies
is
not
publicly
available.
For
some
reason,
all
we
have
is
some
kind
of
a
summer.
We
don't
know
what
it's
based
on.
We
have
no
other
facts
except
their
summary:
it
counts
economic
impact
of
future
football
games
and
events
held
at
the
stadium
and
economic
activity
occurring
on
the
stadium
campus.
D
D
D
That
was
the
economic
impact,
so
numbers
are
skewed,
they're
not
accurate,
and
I
just
ask
you
to
vote
against
this
bond
issue.
We
don't
need
this.
This
is
a
bad
investment
and
your
and
my
constituents
know
that
when
you
see
them
tomorrow,
they
will
tell
you,
I
can't
believe
y'all
even
considered
this.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
representative
weaver.
D
D
We
are
a
republic
and
we
are
representative
of
our
districts
and
I
know
all
of
you
have
been
talking
in
the
grocery
stores
in
your
district
at
the
gas
station.
I
was
in
the
dentist
chair
the
other
day.
My
dentist
said:
hey
terry
lynn.
Tell
me
you're
not
going
to
vote
for
that.
Titans
thing
are
you
he
didn't
say
anything
else,
but
that
that
is
on
their
heart.
D
D
D
D
D
Every
day
I
drive
in
here
I'm
stuck
on
440
and
40
there,
where
spence
road
dumps
into
because
there's
nowhere
any
cars
can
go.
We
need
an
overpass
there.
We
need
infrastructure,
we
need
roads,
then
think
about
some
multi-gazillion
million
dollars
stadium
and
finally,
my
last
thing
I
want
to
say
we
were
in
this
house
and
we
voted
to
protect
women's
sports.
You
remember
that.
D
Do
you
also
remember
it
was
the
titans
that
blasted
us
for
supporting
women's
sports.
Do
you
remember
that
that
was
in
the
news
and
now
they're
coming
to
us
and
they
want
a
bunch
of
money
for
a
bunch
of
guys
who
won't
even
stand
up
when
our
national
anthem
is
being
played
in
our
stadium?
I
will
not
support
this
bill.
D
D
I
share
some
of
the
sentiments
of
the
representative
to
my
left,
but
I
would
like
to
say
that
there
are
other
benefits
than
money
alone.
There
are
cultural
and
social
benefits
to
having
a
sports
team,
a
sports
event
and
the
atmosphere
that
goes
with
it.
So
it's
not
about
money
alone.
However,
when
we
go
out
in
the
community,
they
want
to
know
about
the
money,
and
I
would
just
like
answers
to
two
or
three
simple
questions:
one.
D
Number
one:
what
will
be
the
total
cost
to
the
state
of
tennessee
out
of
supporting
the
stadium
to
what
is
the
55
million
dollars
that
have
been
floated
on?
What
is
that
money
for
three?
So
we
are
going
to
fund
bonds
for
500
million
dollars,
and
so
we
will
have
to
pay
interest
on
those
bonds.
How
is
that
going
to
be
paid?
And
finally,
titans
have
a
35
year?
Lease
on
the
stadium
is
any
of
that
lease
or
rent
money
that
we
get
going
to
go
towards
paying
for
the
bond
interest.
D
So
if
you
will
kindly
explain
that
I'll
be
able
to
explain
it
to
my
constituents-
and
I
think
they'll
be
happy
about
it.
Thank
you,
charlie
hazelwood.
Thank
you,
representative
kamar,
and
I
apologize.
I
was
a
sidebar
and
I
didn't
mean
to
ignore
your
first
question:
the
initiative
that
we
have
before
us.
There
are
actually
two
parts
in
this
bill,
part
of
it,
83.5
million
dollar
bonding
authority,
and
let
me
remind
you
this
is
an
authority
to
do
the
bonds.
It
is
not
issuing
the
bonds,
it
simply
provides
the
authority
to
do
so.
D
Should
they
be
needed
if
none
of
these
peace
parts
of
all
these
piece
parts
of
the
puzzle
don't
come
together,
then
the
bonds
would
not
be
issued,
but
this
bill,
as
now
amended,
has
83.5
million
dollars
for
the
highway
program.
This
is
something
that
we
do
every
year
in
order
to
just
it's
a
stop
gap
for
tdot
to
make
sure
that,
should
they
have
issues
with
you
know,
funding
on
any
projects
or
whatever
they
would
have
the
ability
to
go
to
the
market
and
issue
bonds.
D
That
would
be
a
recurring
cost
that
would
pay
for
principal
and
interest
on
those
bonds.
That
is
a
maximum
figure
that
is
figured
at
the
state
paying
six
percent
for
interest.
It's
been
a
long
time
since
bonds
have
been
issued
at
that
higher
level.
So
55
million
is
absolutely
an
absolute
maximum.
Well,
we
would
expect
it
to
be
less.
D
I
would
also
suggest
to
you
that,
because
this
project
will
probably
not
be
construction
ready
in
the
next
12
months,
that
we
would
have
an
opportunity
to
look
at
our
budget
in
next
year
if
we
wanted
to
pay
cash
for
part
of
this
or
all
of
this.
That
is
something
that
we
could
consider
so
that
we
wouldn't
be
paying
interest
at
all,
but
that
is,
I
hope,
that
answers
your
questions
as
to
the
55
million
dollars.
That's
in
the
budget
that
we
passed
recurring
is
for
principal
and
interest,
but
again
that's
a
maximum
number.
D
D
Charlie,
hey,
I'm
assuming
it
would
be
a
30-year
bond,
but
again
we're
not.
This
bill
simply
authorizes
the
issuance
of
those
bonds.
It
is
not
issuing
the
bonds
we're
not
taking
on
any
obligation
with
this
bill,
we're
simply
providing
the
authority
to
do
so.
Should
the
timing
should
all
things
work
out
and
that
be
necessary?
This
is
simply
an
authorization.
D
D
D
D
D
I
rise
in
support
of
this,
because
this
is
a
part
of
tennessee
and
until
we
get
away
from
the
fact
that
we
are
living
in
three
states,
east,
middle
and
west-
we're
never
going
to
get
anywhere.
Now
I'm
from
west
tennessee-
and
I
have
not
heard
one
single
person
in
west
tennessee-
say
I
needed
to
vote
against
this
project.
D
D
D
Nobody
is
telling
them
to
come
to
nashville,
that's
their
privilege.
My
kids
want
to
come
to
football
games.
They
want
to
come
to
nfl
games,
they
want
to
come
to
big
games,
and
I
want
to
do
something
to
give
them
that
privilege
if
they
want
to
we're
going
to
have
people
coming
from
all
over
the
country
moving
into
this
state,
when
blue
oval
come
they're
going
to
want
to
come
to
stadiums
like
this,
why
can't
we
be
proud
of
our
state
and
have
a
football
stadium
that
we
can
all
be
proud
of?
Why
not.
D
We
keep
acting
like
a
bunch
of
kids
who's
saying
you
got
one
toy
more
than
I
got.
We
live
in
the
state
of
tennessee
and
it's
time
for
all
of
us
to
act
like
we
live
in
the
state
of
tennessee
and
do
what's
right
for
tennessee,
whether
it's
east,
middle
or
west,
I'm
in
support
of
the
legislation.
Thank
you
for
bringing
it.
D
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
to
the
members.
When
I
took
my
oath
of
office,
I
I
took
up
reading
the
state
constitution.
It's
not
that
long!
It's
you
know
40
45
pages,
and
I
read
it
every
year
before
we
come
up
here
and
I
do
not
read
well
at
all,
but
there's
one
section
that
stood
out
because
it
seemed
kind
of
teethy
and
it
said,
acts
forbidden
by
the
state
section,
31
article
2,
acts
forbidden
by
the
state.
D
The
credit
of
the
state
shall
not
be
hereafter
loaned
or
given
to
or
an
aid
of
any
person,
association,
company,
corporation
or
municipality,
nor
shall
the
state
become
the
owner
and
whole
or
on
part
of
any
bank
or
stockholder
in
any
other
association
company,
corporation
or
municipality
and
mr
speaker,
on
this
floor.
I've
heard
the
words
ford.
Today
I
heard
oracle.
D
Now
we've
got
lawyers
who
I
respect
greatly,
have
do
great
work
for
the
state,
but
it
seems
like
we
find
workarounds
from
time
to
time
to
do
the
things
we
want
to
do
rather
than
follow
the
god
we've
been
given
the
guide,
not
god
guide,
which
is
the
state
constitution
in
which
we
took
an
oath
to
serve
so
going
forward.
I
would
simply
challenge
you
all
you'll
all
be
here
a
long
time.
D
And
follow
the
gods
we've
been
given.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,

Any
announcements
lear
lambert
all
right
members
it's
that
time
of
year,
and
I
know
we
did
a
modified
minimized
flow
motion
the
other
day
to
get
us
to
this
point.
D
On
monday
evening,
I'll
be
making
a
motion
for
the
full
flow
motion
to
go
into
effect,
and
if
we
all
work
very
diligently
next
week,
it
is
at
least
possible
that
we
might
be
able
to
conclude
our
business
for
this
general
assembly
next
week
could
take
longer,
don't
clap
yet
could
take
longer.
But
at
the
very
least
I
wanted
to
announce
and
let
everybody
know
that
we
will
potentially
go
into
the
flow
motion
on
monday.
D
That
would
be
the
full
flow
motion
that
way
any
additional
bills
could
be
considered
as
soon
as
possible
on
the
floor,
and
I
wanted
to
make
that
announcement
now.
It
is
available
from
the
clerk
if
you'd
like
to
look
at
the
rules
that
will
potentially
be
suspended,
but
the
speaker-
and
I
want
to
make
sure
you
had
an
opportunity
to
review
that
before
monday
night.
