Mr sergeant of arms invite the members into the chamber and close the doors out here by declaring the house representatives of the 112th general assembly of state tennessee now in session with members. Please stand with the visitors in the gallery. Please stand to remain saying through the pledge of allegiance representative akeem will serve as chaplain of you are recognized.

B

Thank you, mr speaker, if you would colleagues, staff and guests what I'd like to do is take a word or two from the book of james in some new testament and in some mind just a letter more so than a book, but what it deals with is concerned with the practical applications of christian conduct, how faith works in everyday life, providing concrete ethical instruction, and I'm going to take from the third chapter of james verse, 13, 17 and 18., which deals with wisdom.

B

He who is wise and understanding among you. Let him show it by his good life by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. The wisdom that comes from heaven is, first of all pure then. Peace, loving considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere peacemakers who sow in peace, raise a harvest of righteousness.

B

Two observations from these words, the person who remembers his moral responsibility is blessed. Secondly, if we allow it god's love transcends all our differences. Would you bow with me in a word of prayer, dear heavenly father, our lord and savior jesus christ? We give praise and thanks to you for giving us another day to do your work. Your will. We ask that you rain down on us your grace and your mercy.

B

This we pray in the name of our lord and savior jesus christ amen.

A

C

House amendment two by representative clemens, mr speaker: it was timely, foul representative.

A

Clemens, you are recognized.

J

Thank you, mr speaker, and thank you sponsor tonight. I rise in support of this amendment and, quite honestly, if I could have the member's attention, there's no good way to amend this legislation. There's some. This legislation appears to be working its way around the country with no problem to solve just a point to make we're legislating an issue here tonight that has not arisen by the sponsor's own admission in committee.

J

There is not one single instance of this being an issue in the state of tennessee that requires resolution. Yet we are legislating it should this issue arise. It will be because a child has done something more courageous than most of us have done in our entire lives.

J

They've recognized their true self and have made a difficult decision and has stepped up at one of the most fragile time in their lives in a difficult environment. This could be your child. It could be your grandchild.

J

There is zero reason for the state of tennessee to be proactively discriminating against children. We have enough issues going on in our education system right now, proactively, discriminating and trying to solve a problem that does not exist and has not yet arisen.

J

Looks poorly upon this body like I said this is a national piece of legislation. This isn't something that's addressing a tennessee issue, but even with that, all my amendment does in section 1 subsection a I change. The word must to may that's it.

J

That's the entire amendment, the same language of the bill it just changes must to may it gives school systems and schools the option to do what the legislative legislation is requiring.

J

If this issue arises, our school systems at the local level among themselves need to be able to address this in their own way and in a manner that they see appropriate. We should not require them to discriminate, but we can give them the option to address it as they see fit.

J

That's all the amendment does for that. I ask for your support of the amendment.

A

Representative clemens news adoption amendment number two properly. Second, any discussion on the amendment representative, pickey.

I

Thank you, mr speaker. Members words do mean things and they're very important, this bill that that I am sponsoring, maintains the competitive balance, the safety and the opportunities for scholarships and advancements of our female athletes.

I

With that being said, mr speaker, I make a motion to table this amendment.

A

Proper motion- probably second departmentality situation- is representative. Clemens has moved amendment number two representative spicky has moved that motion to the table that cuts off all debate, except for that the sponsor representative clemens. You are recognized.

J

Thank you, mr speaker, ladies and gentlemen, yet again as admitted, not one single issue has arisen, not one scholarship has been denied.

J

Now one opportunity has been denied and colleges and universities who want to offer scholarships to individuals. Don't just offer scholarships to somebody who finishes first in a race or second in a race.

J

This isn't about that. This is about discrimination, plain and simple. This is not about fairness yet, yet all my amendment does is gives local governments, school systems and schools the option to address this, how they see fit it just does not require them by state statute.

J

Please stand up for children. There is no reason for us to proactively discriminate against a child.

J

I ask you to vote against this table in motion.

A

The parliamentary situation as representative clemens has moved amendment number two representative sapiki has moved that motion to the table, we're voting on the tabling motion, all those in favor vote. I when of tabling vote I, when the bell rings, those opposed vote. No, as every member voted does any member wish to change their.

A

A

Mrs clerk, please take the vote.

C

All right, 71, 23 days, one president on voting the.

A

Eyes have it: the motion to table is adopted next amendment mr clark.

C

Mr speaker, that brings the house back to the heel of the amendments house, education, administration committee, amendment number one same as senate amendment number one.

A

Chairman white you're recognized.

H

Thank you, mr speaker. I moved to withdraw.

A

The objection withdrawn next minute, mr clerk, mr.

C

Speaker no further amendments representative.

A

Speaker, you're recognized.

I

Thank you, mr speaker,.

I

Members, whereas girls who compete in interscholastic athletic activities, strive to improve their performance in their particular field of competition. In order to experience the personal satisfaction of victory, gain opportunities to participate in state and regional events and gain access to opportunities to be recruited and offered athletic scholarships by colleges and more and whereas it is unfortunate for some girls that those dreams, goals and opportunities for participation, recruitment and scholarships can be directly and negatively affected by new school policies.

I

Permitting boys who are male in every biological respect to compete in girls athletic competitions if they claim a female gender identity and whereas allowing boys to compete in girls. Athletic competitions discriminates against girls by regularly resulting in boys, displacing girls in competitive events and excluding specific and identifiable girls from opportunities to compete at higher levels and from public recognition, critical to college, recruiting and scholarship opportunities.

I

That should go to those outstanding female athletes and whereas studies show that boys on average can be physically stronger than girls having more skeletal muscle mass than girls and more upper body and lower body strength, which can result in injury to girls. If girls participate in contact sports with boys and whereas interscholastic athletic programs in public schools should be conducted in a safe manner to promote continued participation and equitable opportunities for all children, consistent with the rules and guidelines of an association that regulates interscholastic athletics. Mr speaker, I renew my motion.

A

Representative spicky renews his motion. Any discussion on the bill representative johnson of knox.

K

Thank you, mr speaker,.

K

Our schools strive to make sure every young person feels safe and welcome at their school. This bill does damage to that. This is not a problem that anyone has identified in tennessee, but this bill does create problems at least three.

K

The first problem is: it hurts our reputation nationwide, which could cost us business opportunity and important tourism dollars.

K

Two federal case law is clear: it's unconstitutional to discriminate against a transgender child, we're inviting another lawsuit for no good reason except division politics. Three, this bill shames kids for something they have no control over 50, 57 percent of tennesseans say we need to stop stigmatizing and traumatizing trans people. The emotional trauma this legislator legislature, inflicts is real I'll, be voting now.

A

Representative speaking,.

I

Thank you, mr speaker. I renew my motion.

A

Representative mitchell.

L

Yeah, thank you, mr speaker. Yeah uh sponsor. I think you had this bill before, and I've brought this story up to you before and I'm wondering if you have a solution to this problem. Yet you know there was a uh a young man in texas, named matt baggs in 2017.

L

Mac bags wanted to wrestle as a fee as a male in texas, but his his or her uh birth certificate listed as a female, so they made him compete in the girls division, so in 2017 matt goes 36-0 wins the state title in 2018.

L

Matt goes 36-0 and wins a state title.

L

Mack is now a collegiate athlete on the mail team and I'm just wondering what is your solutions in situations like that, because you know, I think, I'm with representative clemens and you're creating a problem for a solution that is not needed.

L

So what do you do in that situation?.

A

Representative.

L

I

Representative mitchell, I do appreciate your concerns. I do appreciate your question. My bill addresses the competitive balance, the safety and the opportunity for scholarships and advancement of our female athletes. Mr speaker, I renew my motion.

A

Represent mitchell.

L

Okay and then on the economic side of this, what is your solution when the ncaa and other national organizations boycott the state of tennessee because of your legislation, and we lose millions of dollars of tourism, because we've got some discriminatory bill in our state where these organizations refuse to come to our state?

L

What is your solution for that problem?.

A

Representative speaking,.

I

Thank you again, uh representative mitchell. I appreciate your concerns, but once again, all my bill does is maintain the competitive balance, the safety for the girl athletes and the opportunities for scholarship and advancement of our girls. Mr speaker, I renew my motion representative mitchell.

L

Well, as I gave you before, I gave you the scenario where you know it is a problem: you're cr, you're fixing, half a problem.

L

You've got to come up with a solution to fix the entire problem that you're creating but you're only given a solution for half the problem. So for that reason, you've only given half an answer I'll have to be voting against your bill.

A

Representative mckenzie.

C

Thank you, mr speaker,.

B

Mr chair uh is this.

H

um Bill, or was this bill brought to you by the uh tws double a.

A

President speaking no representative, mckenzie has.

G

Has any um high school athletic association.

H

Brought this or or a weighed in on this initially.

A

Representative.

I

Representative, uh that's a question for another bill. All my bill does is maintain the competitive balance, the safety for our girls and the opportunity for scholarships and advancement of our female athletes. Mr speaker, I renew my motion.

A

Representative mckenzie you're good representative fazen.

M

Thank you, mr speaker, members. I've I've watched with interest over the last year of how many times we've heard, follow the science and through what's going on with the pandemic, and inevitably in the last month, I've heard so many times on the tv and from people who are incredibly smart. They say just follow the science just follow the science and members. I would encourage you on this bill to follow the science I've heard the naysayers say well, there's no difference, there's no advantage blah blah blah, there's no advantage.

M

It's not really happening, but you know when you follow the science, which is what we're told to do you're going to find out a different story, and I did some research. I thought you'd like to hear the research that I did children's mercy hospital of kansas city missouri.

M

They are one of the number one recognized hospitals in america for research members, here's what they did. They researched air force members we're not just talking the average person they researched air force members and they took several people who were biological males the way they were born but decided that they wanted to be female and still compete.

M

They studied them over a two year period. As a matter of fact, what this hospital did? They didn't just study what they did. They studied them through the transition they gave them hormone therapy and testosterone blockers for two years.

M

They did this to give every advantage to this person who was born a male who decided that they wanted to become a woman and after two years of them, studying them, giving them hormone, boosters testosterone, blockers. What the science shows is that they still had a 12 advantage over biological females.

M

The biological born male still had a 12 advantage. Now I want you to ask yourself if you are in a sport that has to do with strength who in here doesn't want a 12 advantage?

M

You're, not being honest with yourself. You are not following the science. If you say that I don't care about a 12 advantage, you cannot intellectually honestly say to yourself that there's no difference when the science and you've been telling us for a solid year follow the science. I don't believe that you believe follow the science.

M

You believe, follow your emotion, follow how you feel, but your emotions and how you feel are not true the science on what we're doing here is true and after two years of therapy, these biologically born males still had a 12 percent advantage.

M

Ladies and gentlemen, we are doing the right thing for every little girl in the state of tennessee, who has a desire to be able to compete with somebody that doesn't have a 12 percent advantage over them.

Tdac park rangers are often called upon to provide law enforcement assistance to local law enforcement authorities, often in rural areas. This assistance include operations of park rangers are uniquely qualified to carry out such as wilderness search and rescue, swift water rescue and support in searches for futures in remote areas. Eighty percent of these requests received by park rangers for assistance from local law enforcement agencies are outside of the park boundaries.

P

Current law does not provide our park rangers with specific authority to provide assistance to local law enforcement if a park ranger was injured or caused an injury while assisting local local law enforcement beyond the boundaries of a state park, the ranger and the state could be subject to legal challenges. This bill authorizes park rangers to provide this assistance at the request of local officials.

Tdac criminal environmental investigators also provide support for local law enforcement agencies in the specialized area of environmental crimes. These crimes includes activities such as aggravated dumping or falsification of reporting requirements, law enforce local law enforcement agencies, lack the specialization and training to investigate such crimes.

This is house bill. 120 bill requires any person currently holding a license as a cosmetologist, manicurist, hairstylist or barber to successfully complete a free course on domestic violence, awareness education, as prescribed by the state board of cosmetology and barber examiners by 31 december 2025.

P

Those who complete the awareness training as students during their professional education also satisfies this requirement. This course will train these professionals to recognize potential domestic violence and how to share resources with clients they believe are in need. Nearly half of all crimes in tennessee are domestic violence related and tennessee ranks. Ninth in the nation for the rate that men kill women, I've served as foreign of the williamson county grand jury for years now quickly. Discovered domestic violence does not discriminate and impacts. Individuals, regardless of race, economic status, age or education level.

P

Most victims of domestic violence will not report their abuse to local law enforcement, but they are more likely to tell someone they trust or whom they have a long-standing relationship. Salon professionals see their clients on a regular and routine basis and establish these relationships.

P

They are in a unique position to identify not only life-threatening conditions, but also fiscal signs of abuse like bruises and cuts or changes in everyday behavior. This bill does not make salon professionals mandatory reporters and does not hold them civil or criminally liable for acting in good faith or failing to act on information learned from their clients.

P

In closing, I want to thank the ywca nashville middle tennessee, michelle mowry johnson who's in the gallery today and her incredible team for working so hard to bring this legislation forward, but also susannah, pose also in the gallery today for having the courage to speak out and take action to support and protect every victim of domestic violence in tennessee.

P

Their work clearly demonstrates the power of citizens in our state to make a positive difference with that. Mr speaker, I renew my motion.

Bill 1096 by representative baum and others relative to school discipline.

A

Representative bomb you're recognized.

R

I moved passage of house bill 1096 on third and final consideration.

A

Representative bond moves passage properly. Second, mr clerk, any amendment has been filed.

C

Mr speaker, no amendment's filed.

A

Representative baum you're recognized.

R

Thank you, mr speaker. We are hearing from our schools that discipline is a major problem. It may be an issue. That's become worse with the increasing prevalence of substance, abuse and mental health issues. Teachers. We don't want teachers to be letting student conduct go because they're, fearful of legal liability in tennessee's school discipline, act, teachers, principals, school employees and bus drivers already have the authority to use reasonable force to correct or restrain students to prevent them from harming others or themselves, and these individuals already have criminal immunity. What this bill does is.

R

It also provides these individuals with civil immunity. Under most circumstances, this bill is a way that we can recognize and support our teachers. I renew my.

A

Motion bomb renews his motion he's coached on the bill representative, clemens.

J

Thank you, mr speaker, and thank you sponsor. We've discussed these issues pretty much at length throughout the committee process, so bear with me here for us just briefly we're seeking to amend the reasonable force statute in the tennessee code and regardless of whether or not you think the duty of care should rise from negligence to gross negligence as the legislation does.

J

What you need to be aware of is the last sentence in section 2, sub d, that says a person who is immune under this section is not the proximate cause of any resulting injuries.

J

Proximate calls is an element for any claim. There are two types of causation and a claim, and a lot of you in this room know that, but there is a but four calls, but for the acts of someone is a cause, in fact, and then there's proximate calls, which means, even though a defendant was the but for cause of harm, they won't be held liable for an injury that wasn't substantially caused by their conduct or were not reasonably foreseeable results of their conduct.

J

This is a necessary element of any claim so by including that sentence unnecessarily in this statute. It is arguable that we are creating blanket immunity, regardless of gross negligence, for any claim.

J

So, even if you agree with gross negligence, that's fine, but if you eliminate proximate calls by codifying this sentence, you are giving blanket civil immunity to teachers who harm students, regardless of their duty and the breach of that duty, and that means you're, also creating and breaking the causal chain and creating complete civil immunity for the school system who would be sued for the gross negligent or negligent activity of that teacher.

J

So again, as was stated earlier words matter, this last sentence in this section is very problematic and is going to lead to some serious issues in the law of this state. If we codify this sentence again regardless, if you agree with the spirit of the legislation or not, that sentence is going to create unintended harm.

J

So thank you, mr speaker. Thank you sponsor. I, of course cannot support this legislation.

A

Represent obama.

R

Thank you, representative clemens, and I should point out that this bill would only grant civil immunity if the teacher's conduct was not gross negligence, reckless or intentional misconduct.

R

The bill says that a person or a teacher would be immune unless those conditions apply, and if they are immune, then they could not be considered the proximate cause of any resulting injuries. But, of course, if the teacher was grossly negligent, reckless or if there was intentional misconduct, then the immunities would not apply.

Representative johnson of knox.

K

Thank you, mr speaker, um are you aware of the three reasons or categories of of misbehavior student misbehavior why they misbehave or zimbabwe.

R

I'm not sure I've got that that list prepared to recite I'm sure many lists of different reasons why students might misbehave could be created. I assume you've got one particular list in mind representative johnson, well,.

K

Thank you. um Yes, there are three reasons. Typically everything fits into the category of wanting attention to get out of an activity or work or the third which is self stim, which typically, you have with a student who is adhd or maybe autistic, something like that and and so that you determine the function of the behavior. That sort of thing, but the thing that I think a lot of folks on this floor.

K

Don't understand kids want to please and if kids are acting out, they're doing it because they want to bring attention to something we have all heard about aces. I taught kids with aces on steroids. Okay and um sadly, there are some people in the building that maybe like to see those kids get set off. You know so that they can handle them, but the reality is.

K

This is putting kids in danger, because there are folks out there who will act like something was unavoidable when it wasn't, and then there are kids who react because of who they are and because of who their history, what their history is, some of them. We know and some of them we don't know we're putting kids at risk again tonight with another bill on this house floor and it's very distressing to me.

A

Representative.

R

Thank you, representative johnson. The intent of this bill is to support teachers, and I know you've got a long history of supporting teachers. The ability for teachers to use reasonable force to restrain or correct students is already in code. It's already in the school discipline act. All this bill does is it provides the teachers with civil immunity. It doesn't do anything to change their authority to already use reasonable force. Here's an example: this bill doesn't do anything to authorize corporal.

Thank you. Mr speaker. Counties have been required to carry surety bonds on public officials and fee officers in order to ensure against the mishandling of money, mistakes, crime or dishonesty.

R

A few years ago, the tennessee general assembly provided counties with a second option which was to take out private insurance policies. This bill is permissive. It allows counties a third option. The third option is to self-insure these fee officers. If the counties already self-insured their liability under the tennessee government, tort liability act again, the bill is permissive. It just simply provides counties with a third option. Mr speaker, I renew my motion.

Love, you are recognized.

G

Thank you, mr speaker, members house bill 0992 uh will be entitled terrence's law, my cousin terrence perry, had sickle cell and fought to overcome the challenges of sickle cell disease, but in december, 2016 died from complications related to sickle cell disease. Now sickle cell disease is a disease where the blood cells are not like the regular blood cells in regular blood cells. They are disc, shaped or donut shaped cells, and they carry blood throughout the system to organs.

G

When you have sickle cell disease, those particular red blood cells are like the sickle that a farmer uses and the lifespan of those blood cells is also shorter. The lifespan of regular blood cells is about 90 to 120 days. The lifespan of a sickled blood cell is about 10 to 20 days. As a result, oftentimes persons with sickle cell disease have a shorter lifespan of their red blood cells and, as a result, have low blood count.

G

In addition, sickle cells oftentimes are sticky and can cause up the the vessels where blood is supposed to travel, thereby causing again much pain for those who have sickle cell disease. So house bill. 0992 says that tenncare shall annually report the current medications and treatments that are used to treat sickle cell, but also receive input from the general public and from stakeholders about what new treatments that may be out there.

G

My hope is that when people discover new treatments because tenncare is doing an annual report, they may discover new treatments out there, thereby reducing the pain that sickle cell patients experience, also reducing the pain that their family goes through. So I'd ask members if you would please consider voting for this bill with that. Mr speaker, I renew my motion.

A

Representative love renews his motion he's going on the bill representative, hardaway.

G

Thank you, mr speaker, and thank you representative love. I have lost family members through sickle cell crisis, so I know exactly what it feels like. uh In fact, I lost a cousin not too long ago here in nashville shawna harris. I know exactly what it feels like and until we are treating sickle cell in a manner by which we do the things that you're uh putting into your bill collecting the data analyzing it reviewing it, seeing where the funding needs to go.

G

Those are the things that will allow us to defeat this disease and quit having the moments that I have gone through and you have gone through and thousands of tennesseans go through every year, losing family members and friends to a disease that if we make the effort, we can defeat this, so thank you, sir, represent love.

G

Thank you, mr speaker. Thank you chairman hardware, for your remarks again. uh This will, I think, reduce the pain that uh so many of our citizens experience but also increase our awareness about sickle cell. What's that, mr chairman, mr speaker, I renew my motion. Thank.

Thank mr speaker members. This bill. Human trafficking is a travesty, an absolute travesty most the time this crime is committed on our highways using large trucks or whatnot.

Represent garrett, absolutely all right.

F

Thank you sponsor you. When it comes to the cdl that this legislation do you have a percentage of the number of arrests compared to other wha? What did you mean specifically uh and I'm going to support the bill of course, but still I'm just wondering percentage was: do you have a certain number or do we have recorded from the department of safety numbers from this past 12 months? Let's just say relative to convictions that uh relative to cdl holders, representative garrett.

D

I do not have any information about how many arrests apply just to cdl holders that just wasn't part of my of my research. What what this does comply with is the federal law that we are supposed to codify this by 2023. So it's already a federal law believe it or not. The department of safety is already doing it, we're just getting a jump on it to go ahead and codify this legislation.

F

Jim mckeeson, okay! Thank uh yes! Thank you. uh Thank you, mr speaker, and sponsor, thank you, so it's administration bill in great. Thank you.

A

Any further discussion, representative garrett, let me.

D

Mr chairman clarify this was not brought to me by the administration. This was actually brought to me by my legislative assistant, courtney kaufman, who, I believe is right up there she's the one who actually pointed this out, that we have not codified this, so this is actually a bill that originated from my office. I just want to make that clarification. Thank you, mr speaker.

You're recognized, thank you, mr speaker. uh This bill was brought to me by the control of the treasury. This legislation makes government work better by removing an unnecessary statutory requirement for the comptroller's office to approve the community service agency board's plan of operation.

H

The current law requires the board to submit a plan of operation and amendments to this plan to the commissioner of finance and administration and the control of the treasury for approval.

This legislation makes government work better by removing an unnecessary requirement for the comptroller's office to both approve and review the community service agency's board plan of operations and amendments to the plan.

A

Representative gillespie no comment, no representative breaking.

H

Thank you, mr speaker. I need to let my fellow legislators know that I've known john for over 15 years, his first cousin married my son, so I think the world of john. I hope one day to attend his wedding, but I need to let this body know something that I learned that john gillespie is not john gillespie.

H

He is really the famous wizard harry potter, so so we don't. He really doesn't need us to pass his legislation. He can use his magical powers anytime. He wants to to get his legislation passed so again.

H

Mr speaker, I have one more question for for representative gillespie, it's a serious one. Do you believe that the small operators in tennessee have been hurt by kobe, representative gillespie? I'm sorry, the small operators represent.

A

Representative.

E

Lamar, thank you, mr speaker, representative gillespie, on behalf of the whole shelby delegation. We want to congratulate you on your first bill to the house for.

A

Congratulations chairman vaughn.

O

I am thank you, mr speaker, and I'm so glad that our shelby county delegation chair lady uh brought up uh shelby county, because one of the things that I found figured out since I got here is that you know we each serve as cultural attaches from our communities.

O

We bring peach, we bring items from our local communities and then we carry back information from nashville and we're a flow back and forth of information. uh And in that vein, I'd like for to uh representative gillespie to ex to give a little bit of a culture to uh share some local culture. With with our colleagues here and explain what the difference between 901 is and.

E

K

Yeah, two or one is that an area code.

O

Two, I'm sorry, mr speaker, but two you've obviously never been to 201 201 is the jail in memphis and 901 is the area code. So if anybody wants you to go to 201, please please say no. We've got to. We have to bone up our freshman member, but one thing that I would like to uh I'd like to point out also is: is that memphis is all areas of our great state?

O

Are cultural, rich in culture, different music types, appalachia gave rise to the carter family, who, which eventually did country music memphis, had reverend al, green and elvis, and and jerry lee and a bunch of others and and of course we're here in music city, but there's also another version of of music. That's on the rise in shelby county, and I guess the best way to thing to call it is like urban contemporary.

O

That's the official name. Are you a fan of urban contemporary music, representative gles, but you're part of your district is in memphis, so I would expect you to be able to discuss this cultural uh offering to us.

H

I've recently discovered that and still.

K

Looking into it.

C

O

I I know the hours late so I'll wind up but and we've also obviously have some work to do. But uh let me just say: if any of you have ever heard of the notorious b.I.g or biggie smalls his those were both his stage names. His actual name is uh christopher wallace, and so what happens is is that these colorful artists take on stage name. So I was gonna wonder: ask you what your rapper name would be if you indeed decided to go into that that musical genre.

H

Mr speaker, I renew my previous motion.

O

Just just so, for all you one other, my rapper name is my. I would be bougie maine bougie, because I enjoy the finer things of life tied to boogie man, which makes it gives me a sinister side. So I'm wondering again we'll work with you on this. We have a lot to work on with other fellow delegation members, but by the way, sir, all of our seats here are occupied by us for just a short period of time. Your seat was anchored by a titan in our chamber for many many years.

O

We look forward to you growing into that same role. Congratulations on getting this first.

But I just I'm curious, I'm dying to talk to you about the funeral home business, but we'll let that one just lay there.

E

O

What I'm really want to know is why you didn't you? Never let us know that you're, a practicing attorney.

E

That's because I am.

O

Not you advertise yourself as a professional storyteller.

O

Is that not the same thing.

O

If it's not, then then, mr speaker, I have grave reservations because from this point forward every time she tells me something and presents a bill, I'm going to be sitting there going. Is she telling me the truth or she telling me a story and she's a professional?

O

So it's not even an amateur given this to us, it's a professional. So I'm just going to have to try to figure out when she's telling stories and when she's telling us the truth, but actually representative alexander, it has been a pleasure it. You have been one of those uh you find things and you find friends and you know they're going to be friends from the day you meet them and you're one of those people for me- and we are so glad you're here.

Representative leatherwood you're recognized.

H

F

You, mr speaker, this bill gives the director of schools the authority to determine if a student should be placed in an alternative, school or program, when the alternative school program is located on the same grounds as the student's regular school.

F

And with that, mr speaker, I renew my motion.

A

Representative leatherwood renews his motion. Any discussion on the bill representative beck.

F

Thank you, mr speaker, uh will the sponsor yield representative?

F

Yes, my question to the sponsor is if a a child is sent to the alternative school and there's only in the lea, has only got one and it's right next to the school that they came from. Where would they go representative leatherwood?

F

Thank you and that's a good question and if nothing else, kovit has taught us about many options. We've got in different circumstances and these children could uh receive their schooling at home remotely through that method, as it's happening with many students now- and I should also say this only kicks in when a student is being expelled or punished for committing a violent act or threatening a violent act, and so again this only takes place when the alternative school is on the same grounds as the regular school.

F

So it doesn't make sense to tell a student who is engaged in some violent activity. Well, you know you're being sent to alternative school, we're going to move you from this room to that room across the hall. So this bill looks to look out for the safety of the students and faculty by letting them learn remotely from home as an option at the discretion of the lease representative.

F

Very good. Thank you. So much.

A

Any further discussion represent parks.

Q

Thank you, mr chair, and just for further clarification. um If I'm not mistaken this bill, this kicks in with students when there is a the possibility of violence to other members inside of the school. If I'm not mistaken, am I correct, mr sponsor.

A

President leatherwood, that.

Q

A

Represent parkinson thank.

Q

You, mr speaker, and and a few years well a couple of years back. We passed a bill that said that um students that are expelled- uh and I believe it's 10 days, if I'm not mistaken, I'm not sure what your bill does. It may be 10 days also we'll go to an alternative education setting and that alternative education setting could also be virtual because we now have. We didn't have virtual when we started this, but we now have virtual also. So thank you. I just want to clarify that. Mr mr speaker, mr sponsor, thank you.

A

Thank you any further discussion.

C

Mr speaker, no further amendments chairman.

A

C

T

Yeah, thank you, mr speaker, and remember what this bill does. This has to do with hoas, if you own a property in an hoa and say you're renting it. This is for long-term, rentals. Okay, this just has nothing to do with short-term rentals. This is long-term riddles only six months or more okay, if you own a home in hoa and you're, currently renting that home long term and that show comes in right now they have the ability to come in and say you know what you can't rent that long term anymore.

T

This may be an investment property. This may be something that your your mother, your father, a family member, left you by a device and a will. This may be a house that you had before you got married. Something like that. My bill says you know what your grandfather didn't if hoa changes, the rules, your grandfather didn't for now, if you sell the property, the property goes under the new rules of the hoa, and this is what my bill does I'll ask for passage.

T

How are we doing my motion.

A

Chair and farmer news in motion east coast on the bill representative, lynn, you're.

S

Recognized. Thank you, mr speaker. By coincidence, I just had an email from a constituent and he is interested to know. um I understand what you're saying about a single, an owner owning a single house in an in a community.

S

What about, if there's an llc that owns many many houses in the community? I can think of a neighborhood in my district that a rental uh llc has bought up just about every single house inside the neighborhood and it's kind of made it more of a transient neighborhood and not necessarily a family neighborhood, and you know folks, don't really appreciate that. So does this apply to individuals who maybe own one house within a community or does it apply to the llcs that purchase? You know like buy up every house within the community chairman farmer, yeah.

T

And thank you, mr speaker, and thank you for that question. Just as an individual I could go in and we or you as inventions. We can go and purchase as many homes as we want to and we could afford as investments just as an llc. Could this wouldn't preclude an llc from coming and doing that? To answer your question, it would not preclude an llc from buying up properties in the subdivision.

A

Representative.

S

Oh, I wouldn't expect it to preclude them from buying property in the subdivision, but I was just wondering if they would be grandfathered in jeremiah.

T

Then, thank you, mr speaker, and yes, they would be grandfathered in just as an individual would okay and it's my understanding in my, in my opinion, that if the corporation owns these properties, they're going to have the means to keep these properties up and pay a hoas fees and once again, let's remember this: this is for long-term rentals. Only okay! This is not so. I think the transient portion of your question we're talking long term six months or more typically, a year. Lease is all I see in rentals.

A

Representative.

S

So my last question would be if the hoa, however, did change their rules and one of those large rental companies the llc comes in and tries to buy up every house to rent it. If the hoas rules already prohibited that, then they wouldn't be able to do that. Then, chairman farmer,.

T

If the hoa has changed the rules and that property is purchased after the rule changed, they have to abide by the rules.

A

Represent freeman.

N

Thank you chairman, uh and to the sponsor. um I I genuinely appreciate you you working with me. This has been um a couple year process, so I really do appreciate it. um I'm still not crazy about the bill and and back to the point that was just made members.

N

The the reason people buy into hoas is to protect their property rights and their property values, and the reason that these hoas are changing their bylaws in the middle of this is because these out-of-state large corporate buyers of these properties are not taking care of the properties appropriately, and so these tennesseans, these homeowners of of of our communities, want to change the laws or the the protect their their single largest asset, which is their home, and if this bill passes, it will remove the ability of these residents to protect their largest asset, which is their home.

N

I'm going to add one more thing to it in tennessee.

N

If you want to get an fha loan, there are restrictions to how many rental properties are in your community before you can. You can do this before you can get a loan. If we allow this and don't allow communities to limit the number of renters in their property, we could very likely remove the ability of tennesseans to get loans. Okay, when that happens, you're going to have individual large corporations that come in and pay cash.

N

We will, in my opinion, have a very serious problem of people get being able to get loans in communities that cannot control the owned destiny of those communities and, with both of those reasons, ask everybody to vote against this bill.

A

Chairman farmer.

A

Anything ribs and vogels.

S

Thank you, mr speaker, and to the sponsor my only criticism of this bill. Is it doesn't go far enough? Hoas are out of control in this state when you purchase a property, you look at those covenants and restrictions and you make consideration to that purchase of that property. What we have is we've had lawyers insert clauses that basically say once you buy your property, we can come back and strip you of almost all of your rights because you bought the property they're out of control. They need to be regulated, and I appreciate this bill greatly.

S

A

H

Thank you, mr speaker, just to be clear. This doesn't apply to everybody. These associations can change their bylaws anytime. They want to. This is just for people who have inherited a house or a scenario like that. Is that correct chimney for.

A

T

uh Yes, restaurant holsey, that that is correct. If you currently own that property and then they change the bylaws during your ownership or your allowing renters to be in there. But that's who the folks at applause do so you have to answer your question.

A

Any further discussion, representative love.

G

Thank you, mr speaker. I just want to follow up on your question, so it's only for people who inherit property.

A

Chairman farmer.

T

No, that is incorrect, and if I answer that shorthanded I do apologize, that means mislead anyone. It applies to properties that you own, that you currently own and are currently renting. So if the hoa changes, the bylaws, while you're, currently renting a property that you own, then it doesn't apply to that change. That property doesn't apply to the change until it's transferred or sold, and then that change would take effect.

A

Representative representative parkerson.

Q

Thank you thank you, mr speaker and mr sponsor, and for clarifications you own, a property right now, under an hoa under their bylaws, you stay under those same bylaws if their property transfers after the hoa has changed the bylaws. The new owners fall under the new bylaws.

Q

A

Representative white.

M

Thank you, mr speaker, just to give me comfort this.

H

Is not the weekend rentals, you said six months or longer rentals. What I'm opposed to is the weekend rentals coming into a neighborhood, but doesn't apply to that.
