Representative Hale read House Joint Resolution 118, praising Boyd for \"remarkable composure\" and noting the item later was determined to be a BB gun that more closely resembled a handgun. \"Evan restrained the student until a teacher arrived to assist,\" the resolution states.

Principal Mac Petty of Gornesville High School addressed the chamber and thanked Boyd, calling the day \"very traumatic\" and praising his \"unselfish act of bravery.\" The resolution commended Boyd's courage and presence of mind and the House adopted the resolution as a ceremonial honor.

The transcript does not indicate disciplinary or criminal outcomes resulting from the classroom incident; it records that school staff and local law enforcement handled the situation after Boyd intervened.","The House passed a resolution honoring Evan Boyd of Gornesville High School for wrestling a weapon away from a classmate on Jan. 30, 2025; school officials said the item was a BB gun.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6408279,"House honors University of Memphis athletics, names Penny Hardaway AAC coach of the year",1377,2249000,3626000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2935082-54ada74c6eca51ca3041fd015cd42291&start=2249&end=3626","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2935082-54ada74c6eca51ca3041fd015cd42291/thumbnail_2249000.jpg","/articles/6408279/Tennessee/House-honors-University-of-Memphis-athletics-names-Penny-Hardaway-AAC-coach-of-the-year","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6408279-ef3e51c86583046cd90e112a945ea26d/orig.mp4?Expires=1776526340&Signature=Y8kKLyo5stz-Iq~sLJOBw34P0CaRkxQgEs3OC2hX-neGmmTvpSbkGJjxvtqeyXNVbq3HG1azbTdLboGN4eabtqRaTR2tqUYwgTcs0LJO3p6Fq-bBiqtqXdEgG6ewaBf2SheshatFdtOL-~h84rv-vszZspQx-IZi0Td7P-RUGhXwIOpZ40xc5oTJyXdnd6KRrBcN2lG3lufHdammRckoCJggxcChMCvbG895OUEVAAy7Pw7lB3ta5OubeuqLHPqQE18jB--Z-0b~BaF85ncBJBNtOREo6IWfodG3Rl19xVs3upZWvcnriLDFpmuSV0aUzO6JjX9-BYzdSJ6FO~7gVw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tennessee House of Representatives on Wednesday recognized the University of Memphis athletic department and honored coaches and student-athletes for recent accomplishments, including coach Penny Hardaway being named American Athletic Conference coach of the year.

Representative Raumesh Akbari Camper introduced the delegation’s presentation, noting Coach Hardaway, football coach Ryan Silverfield and women's coach Alex Simmons were on the floor. \"Coach Penny Hardaway took the team to the NCAA tournament,\" Camper said, and the delegation highlighted Memphis' 26-5 season and a 16-2 conference mark that led to the university's first AAC regular-season championship.

Coach Penny Hardaway addressed the chamber, calling his Memphis roots \"an honor\" and praising university leadership. \"To be successful in this era is amazing because it's very hard to do, especially from our platform,\" Hardaway said, citing recruiting and NIL-era challenges. Football coach Ryan Silverfield and women's coach Alex Simmons thanked legislators for their support; the transcript records Silverfield noting his 10th season and praising state support for athletics.

Representative Harris read a House resolution recognizing the department’s accomplishments, which the clerk framed to include men's and women's program milestones: Memphis football's back-to-back double-digit win seasons, the women's team's 420th home victory at Elmer Rome Fieldhouse, the men's tennis at-large NCAA bid and repeated regional coaching honors for women's soccer staff.

The recognition emphasized the university’s statewide profile and the role of legislative support for higher-education athletics. No legislative funding action or statutory change was proposed in the floor remarks; the segment was ceremonial and celebratory.","The Tennessee House recognized the University of Memphis athletics department and honored coach Penny Hardaway after the Tigers' 2024–25 seasons, including a 26-5 record and the school's first AAC regular-season championship.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6408286,"House approves consent calendar; approves motion to send HB622 to education committee",83,2758000,2841000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2935082-54ada74c6eca51ca3041fd015cd42291&start=2758&end=2841","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2935082-54ada74c6eca51ca3041fd015cd42291/thumbnail_2758000.jpg","/articles/6408286/Tennessee/House-approves-consent-calendar-approves-motion-to-send-HB622-to-education-committee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6408286-49f6a6dde3ede45195dfb2bfcc514625/orig.mp4?Expires=1776526340&Signature=Op8l464XoF6zcH~4zmE2dyecpxmeJMoEQL6~bDiPyaD-GmLUnr-Z3NMqxcW8WBc9NL7cHEJ73B8j6RrC4OpwvXVl9HuZ11Ep08HWs9d-O5qnVD6ROw66pKKV4JOiKcA9J~DlUoPTh94BQALXrtMiQtv9icKpSnDr87XTFecY4DI9nu~ALbWPvj19qYSBi7Q-60FQj7KunfskXeVrENVZF2bblZPhGiJ0ddo7siJjVrTpGy75xY~8FzeaM7gRN~tEmHEv90Bm7T-kSrqnlPrYjR3taTesCvYdyi5o6-BLT5cQABbGk3UboJtiQYe8A22mz4acujNc2p9NCqDbh2FsBw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tennessee House of Representatives approved its consent calendar on third and final consideration on Wednesday, and later voted to place House Bill 622 on the education committee calendar.

The consent calendar passed after Chairlady Moody moved for passage under Rule 50 and the clerk reported no objections. \"Having received a constitutional majority, I declare the consent calendar passed,\" the speaker said after the vote was recorded, and the motion to reconsider was tabled.

The chamber later considered a separate motion by Leader Jason Lambert to have House Bill 622 heard in the House Education Committee this week. The motion drew an objection on the floor and was put to a roll-call vote. The clerk announced the result as 69 yeas and 19 nays; the presiding officer declared, \"Motion prevailed.\"

The consent-calendar vote was handled en masse under chamber rules; the transcript does not list an individual roll-call tally for every bill on that calendar. The recorded 69-19 roll call applies to the motion to refer HB622 to the education committee. The clerk and multiple members stated procedural points during the sequence of votes and inquiries related to scheduling and committee calendars.

The actions affect the chamber's scheduling for consideration of bills and place HB622 on the education committee's forthcoming agenda. The transcript does not specify the text or subject matter of HB622.","The Tennessee House approved its consent calendar and later approved a motion to place House Bill 622 on the education committee calendar after a recorded roll-call vote of 69-19.","actionData","errors"]
