Key floor actions included:

- Senate Bill 115: Passed. Representative Moon said the bill \"adds another tool that the comptroller may use to ensure accountability and transparency in local government.\" The clerk recorded the vote as 93-0. (Moved and passed by voice vote with recorded tally.)

- House Bill 422 (naming authority for Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission): Passed 86-8. Sponsor Pro Tem Marsh said the bill clarifies that the Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission may name real property and infrastructure under the agency's jurisdiction and thereby offer naming-rights opportunities to raise revenue. Marsh cited examples including shooting ranges, hunter education facilities, hatcheries (which he said produce more than 9,000,000 fish annually), and boat ramps.

- House Joint Resolution 35 (recognizing emergency telecommunicators as first responders): Adopted 95-0. Representative Ashley said the resolution \"just simply recognizes emergency telecommunicator as first responders.\" No amendments were filed.

- Consent calendar: The House passed the consent calendar on third and final consideration as moved by Chair Moody; the clerk's tally for that vote was recorded as 93 in favor, 0 opposed.

Other procedural actions included the rolling of several bills to the hill or to Monday's calendar and the withdrawal of select measures from committee on motion of members.

These items were taken up as part of the day's regular calendar and consent calendar; debates varied in length from brief sponsor explanations to fuller floor exchanges on particular bills.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House Floor Session- 11th Legislative Day- February 27, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A set of bills and resolutions passed the Tennessee House on March 3, including measures on naming authority for the Wildlife Resources Agency, recognizing emergency telecommunicators as first responders, and other items carried on the calendar or consent list.","taxTitle","House Floor , House of Representatives, Committees, Legislative, Tennessee","taxId",29556,"location","Tennessee","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6660663,"House urges voluntary reporting system for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease",92,6576000,6668000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2432913-a14f60fe61f924d5da4f8d3979112717&start=6576&end=6668","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2432913-a14f60fe61f924d5da4f8d3979112717/thumbnail_6576000.jpg","/articles/6660663/Tennessee/House-urges-voluntary-reporting-system-for-Charcot-Marie-Tooth-disease","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6660663-3f3d89b1306b0b1d080ec7edb2f7efa3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771019220&Signature=NGFMdbZHPQ7tlm2IjV8K7TBuwkGqQ~JKPk448v9MtJYiZf4ltqEpcQaegR6RtM~-qjY8WYsKeEe9~VANNJwdLI2RcALK26MODghe-lTLnko0fDM~Z4~dvvLAiiw6VNmJO9tmK56EECKSs6Ga1XEEP~tM9LfAGFKjiqUHiK7WOnNN1T7Wu6eDSzpdRXI4zz3o3HvbMqYf2z4fmpuzDUCEiWwZTWvK8bK8VHiR7vXwEosgL5IIPXsd4YlxWGL4oHlCY0wbGuVLKKLTXXsQYNNdAvRsZr6SLlAOTVfdrF8BCC-Gi-6NubT2gisjDevjcjZH~agWFREpuP7cmGSrDdIbeQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tennessee House adopted House Joint Resolution 1 20 on March 3 urging the Tennessee Department of Health to implement a voluntary reporting system for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT).

Representative Powers, who brought the resolution, said accurate counts are needed to improve competitiveness for federal grants and specialized care. He told the chamber that the commonly cited figure of roughly 25,000 Tennesseans affected \"was a number derived from multiplying a national percentage times our population,\" and that the voluntary reporting system would provide a more accurate state count.

Powers said CMT is a progressive neurological disease that attacks peripheral nerves, affecting gait and hand function and leading to neuropathy in legs, ankles and feet. He said the degree of disability varies widely and that better data could inform care planning and grant applications.

The resolution asks the Department of Health to implement a voluntary system that uses existing health records and produce an annual report back to the House and Senate health committees. The sponsor moved adoption and renewed his motion; the clerk recorded the vote as 94 in favor, 0 opposed. The chair declared the resolution adopted.

The resolution urges action; it does not appropriate funds or change statutory reporting requirements. No implementation timeline or specific technical approach beyond \"through existing health records\" was specified during floor remarks.","The House adopted a resolution asking the Tennessee Department of Health to create a voluntary CMT reporting system to improve case counts and help pursue federal grants and specialized care.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6660668,"House approves ban on holding two elected offices at once, with grandfather clause",108,3209000,3317000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2432913-a14f60fe61f924d5da4f8d3979112717&start=3209&end=3317","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2432913-a14f60fe61f924d5da4f8d3979112717/thumbnail_3209000.jpg","/articles/6660668/Tennessee/House-approves-ban-on-holding-two-elected-offices-at-once-with-grandfather-clause","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6660668-2d3fe4dcc68c1cf1d86c379a8043a8b0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771019220&Signature=N7GRn3v~x~zUHVxOOr85Sw8BLX1xua4i~rBoh0SixoKUQBO6qK1uMaTNI5sz4f3GrppaYUSizJLfATuWo5iMx40IIQALcgd1-HYHVeo4~dqJgd2gQzlNvEUSxMP-YhR5dCOJQwi9t8qypP8wPUzKDUKaqEd5F2rF-3RsmBzi6P4m0ehCzjxeGTig0h90gtzq3~yBcUxYD8o9lL7CR9rSh0s40vOXQ5S-ri1GNu0KaWyChaTH1RIkbBMp25Gs831z0AI20UXdHKiSnHRoZ6n1s69vwwC8BfCymHNSAH1vqH8G949uYdgFXO-GA1Y2cNn-m4vCKgAXoD96h2N6ncSSIw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tennessee House voted to pass House Bill 618 on third and final consideration, a one-sentence measure that prohibits an individual from holding an elected office of a local government and simultaneously holding another elected office in the state.

Representative Wright, sponsor of HB 618, told the chamber the bill \"prohibits an individual from holding an elected office of a local government and holding another elected office in the state at the same time. It does contain a grandfather clause and does not apply to state executive committees.\" He moved passage and renewed the motion during floor debate.

Representative Hart said he could not support the bill for his rural district, saying his area relies on officials who have served multiple roles and long tenures. \"For my rural district, we don't have people beating the bushes down to serve,\" Hart said, adding that voters should decide whether a willing official may serve in multiple roles.

Representative Moon moved the previous question during debate. The clerk recorded the vote as 61 in favor and 27 opposed. The presiding officer declared the bill passed.

The bill's text as described on the floor is brief and focused on incompatible dual holdings; the sponsor said the measure contains a grandfather clause and does not apply to state executive committees. No statutory citations or exact grandfathering dates were read into the record during the floor remarks.","House Bill 618, a one-sentence bill, passed the Tennessee House to bar an individual from holding a local elected office and another elected state office simultaneously; sponsors included a grandfather clause and specified exclusions.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6660674,"Tennessee House approves change to comptroller’s literacy report schedule",446,5746000,6192000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2432913-a14f60fe61f924d5da4f8d3979112717&start=5746&end=6192","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2432913-a14f60fe61f924d5da4f8d3979112717/thumbnail_5746000.jpg","/articles/6660674/Tennessee/Tennessee-House-approves-change-to-comptrollers-literacy-report-schedule","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6660674-e353e24839f829f12a74baddaf4376da/orig.mp4?Expires=1771019220&Signature=j27CVmyQbpVen2BqpAbO-UzL7E~XLH22VSp88pjpr6onrB-E5vNF~~a4asbzo6~vg4dxLCjX7SAjafgb5yU8rups0E0G61uxLya96GdFVaMoB5VrNNguF~N1-NHbm24cvp3KxLDi3QFWO4xBjK8PQyC11Wl7wkII7tmf4BIFwd6v4GOIxE50tx0Pbrws4xdLIoXvDc60TU6rtvM0jVs0yEcEDt7Iai1BxlTDvpa9oj82f~Q72vLMj6YQ2TA657yWnkD4GBFHA8JS6UeMPRTdBEEcDiG9tzWQSNX4Op0UfiuLzqlgh0B50FLdQMQWM7vB3XiqfUb6x2OSd6EmRAwNmw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tennessee House on March 3 approved Senate Bill 208, a measure that changes the Comptroller's Office of Research and Education Accountability's (OREA) reporting frequency on the Literacy Success Act from annually to once every three years.

Representative Mayberry moved passage of Senate Bill 208 on third and final consideration. He told colleagues the change would \"allow OREA to conduct a more thorough analysis of the LSAs and FLSPs\" rather than producing a yearly snapshot.

The bill's sponsor said less-frequent reporting would give OREA time to conduct district interviews, identify patterns and trends, and offer deeper findings. Leader Camper asked the sponsor to explain why the frequency was being changed; Mayberry replied that additional time would permit a more detailed interpretation of information received from the Department of Education.

Representative Mayberry said the current annual cadence constrained OREA's ability to analyze information and present more meaningful findings. Representative Haston interjected with a brief quip during debate; Representative Miller asked a procedural question about Mayberry's background during discussion. Mayberry renewed his motion and the House voted.

The clerk recorded the vote as 95 in favor, 0 opposed. The presiding officer declared the bill passed.

The measure amends the reporting schedule; it does not, by itself, change the content of OREA's review or the statutory responsibilities of the Department of Education.

No implementing dates or changes to the underlying statutory language were stated on the floor during debate.","The House approved Senate Bill 208 to change the Comptroller's Office of Research and Education Accountability's reporting on the Literacy Success Act from annually to every three years; sponsors said the change will allow a more thorough analysis.","actionData","errors"]
