Chairman (Representative) Bullsoe said he removed the item from the consent calendar to expand the resolution and add accomplishments from Carter’s record, including his post-presidential work and remarks at the dedication of the Carter Presidential Center.

Representative Jones asked whether the Senate sponsor, Senator Akbari, had reviewed and agreed to the changes; Chairman Bullsoe said he had exchanged multiple times with Senator Akbari and incorporated many of her comments but not all. Jones identified specific language he believed had been removed from earlier drafts, including references to Carter’s leadership addressing the climate crisis and outreach to people impacted by the AIDS crisis and the LGBTQ community. Chairman Bullsoe responded that a climate-specific wording in the earlier record was historically inaccurate and that the resolution still includes language on ending discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

The committee accepted the working amendment (code 4283) and, after a voice vote, moved the amended resolution forward. The clerk recorded nine ayes and one present not voting.

Chairman (Representative) Bullsoe, sponsor of HB 327, said the designations mark the nation’s 250th anniversary and tie months to historical events and public observance. He said June is appropriate for “life” in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization and said July aligns with the July 1776 signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Representative Jones pressed the sponsor on the definition and scope of “liberty” and how the term should be taught or observed in schools. Jones said the words raised broader policy questions, referencing long-standing debates about the founding fathers’ views and current political rhetoric. Chairman Bullsoe responded that different people will interpret the terms in different ways and that designating months could prompt ongoing public discussion.

The committee adopted the previous question without objection and moved HB 327 to the Judiciary Committee with a positive recommendation. A clerk entry recorded one member present not voting; the committee chair announced the ayes had it and the bill advanced.","House Bill 327, presented by the committee chairman, would designate June for life, July for liberty and August for the pursuit of happiness; legislators debated the meaning and scope of the symbolic designation before advancing the measure to the Judiciary Committee with a positive recommendation.",{"_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},6303180,"Committee advances bill designating November as Diabetes Awareness Month",156,332000,488000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2473546-89dfe7cbb0eced1564d7d61eb0576da1&start=332&end=488","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2473546-89dfe7cbb0eced1564d7d61eb0576da1/thumbnail_332000.jpg","/articles/6303180/Tennessee/Committee-advances-bill-designating-November-as-Diabetes-Awareness-Month","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6303180-4646647d833f112445bb7612264dd4a3/orig.mp4?Expires=1770936872&Signature=kS7yX386sg4Mrl6mvHYpNkBi64Ou6MZc905ijmwYdVwZc9k470yWEFCN~j~DXGUj210LksQmjRtqjtI69vz9fONdVdu47EtrO1UAK2JIx6PlbqfMJVY78z3rL-p446~pt9GswqKMx32ZKWBKNXNyTI4tySUkosP7h-xmvZjHQ5JN787sX6Q9UuKzIkVJv6TglmvbXcEcsTHO4ks7uXyazcw8eNpVOK8rmPgyAIgsMNWQCfdnbxZKg3ct1nkFX7dUyXDorIOKZTXHas9OkurQlW8C0OHBQ7F3P7pc32sFF~Olk1rRNuv7c3sYfMryc8L2r4UW9So71eFsccKZ~9Il6w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House Naming & Designating Committee voted to advance House Bill 0363, which designates November as Diabetes Awareness Month in Tennessee.

Representative Dave Riggs, sponsor of HB 0363, said the issue is personally important to him and to many Tennesseans. \"This is, an issue that actually is very important to me,\" Riggs said, adding that he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes two years ago. He told the committee Tennessee has “the sixth highest incidence of diabetes in the country” and described diabetes as “the eighth leading cause of death in Tennessee.”

Representative Dixie, speaking during committee discussion, described her own diagnosis at age 27 and urged more public education about diet, exercise and management. Representative Jones raised concerns about the cost of insulin and said constituents in his district have contacted him about rising insulin prices. Riggs acknowledged cost concerns and said multiple approaches exist to address diabetes statewide.

The clerk announced the vote as 10 ayes. The bill passed the committee and was referred to the Health Committee for further consideration.

The bill is an honorary and awareness designation; committee discussion emphasized education and access concerns rather than any immediate funding or regulatory changes.","The House Naming & Designating Committee approved HB 0363 to designate November as Diabetes Awareness Month; sponsor and several members described diabetes as a significant health issue in Tennessee and discussed insulin costs during debate.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6303185,"House committee names Southern Stars Symphonic Brass Band Tennessee’s official brass band",191,106000,297000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2473546-89dfe7cbb0eced1564d7d61eb0576da1&start=106&end=297","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2473546-89dfe7cbb0eced1564d7d61eb0576da1/thumbnail_106000.jpg","/articles/6303185/Tennessee/House-committee-names-Southern-Stars-Symphonic-Brass-Band-Tennessees-official-brass-band","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6303185-108c9e0fb002d47960a2ef86887fc063/orig.mp4?Expires=1770936872&Signature=JYaBuJQ61dytKnCQvkvq7kdbhjyYjZPAqMD-vOlDHxIsE4sJwsgSRdjeY5w2BaFxu0zqsoGSUkEdS~HWI47x-pBUm2VLq67Z38ySIR~On6AgmiIivGEhBM9-RqSPpizbaomXY34CmVD2~Njf2cxpNfhjp5-u9rnzFkoXhh2y1wgITmovSNGFdUx2ZAE2500FLinXhOKnYqR76f1a-eg0ZBEZBrDMc4G7BJYJ6wzzXYEyocLH-cbc5oRf5IZ7PV7hkXDq0QqBtYkb84TpWWf3Kvk~zY1ggKcznZqgCXOmftdRgaGbsuY09h32cfy~3EAuGIFXF8~KOMHLCQVjpzCnkw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House Naming & Designating Committee voted to advance House Bill 1094 on a voice and roll-call sequence, adopting a motion to name the Southern Stars Symphonic Brass Band as the official brass band of Tennessee.

Representative John Butler, sponsor of HB 1094, told the committee the Southern Stars Symphonic Brass Band is “a diverse and exceptionally talented group of folks from across the state of Tennessee with musicians from Clarksville, Nashville, Murfreesboro and Knoxville.” He said the ensemble has shared music “with audiences statewide and beyond.”

Representative Jones asked why the bill would single out one brass band when multiple brass bands exist across Tennessee. Butler replied, “I believe we have numerous state songs and numerous other things. There's multiples of. And so there wouldn't be anything that would prohibit somebody from running 1 of those other brass bands or any type of symphony, to be named the official state symphony bass band.”

Representative Barrett made a lighthearted inquiry asking if the sponsor played a brass instrument; Butler replied, “I do not. I do well to play a CD.”

The clerk announced the committee vote as nine ayes and one present not voting. The bill passed the committee and was referred to the State and Local Government Committee.
