House passes consent calendar and two joint resolutions, including Holocaust Remembrance Day
Summary
The Tennessee House passed the consent calendar and adopted House Joint Resolutions 7-11 and 7-39; the clerk recorded Ayes 91 for the consent calendar, HJR 7-11 passed by recorded vote, and HJR 7-39 passed Ayes 88–0.
The Tennessee House approved its consent calendar and adopted two joint resolutions during the session.
Clerk announcements showed the consent calendar passed by voice and recorded count: "Ayes 91, no nays," the clerk reported after the vote. The body then moved to adopt House Joint Resolution 7-11; the previous question was ordered over an objection and members recorded a roll-call tally for the resolution. Later, Chairman Clemens moved adoption of House Joint Resolution 7-39, recognizing International Holocaust Remembrance Day (Jan. 27); the clerk reported the recorded result as "Ayes, 88, no nays," and the resolution was adopted.
The session included an exchange during member announcements in which a representative criticized the decision to block a separate resolution honoring Renee Goode while proceeding with a calendar item to honor Charlie Kirk. The representative said the discrepancy was "very shameful" and urged colleagues to avoid mixing prayer and politics in that context.
What happened next: The clerk announced scheduling and amendment filing deadlines ahead of committee meetings because of an upcoming holiday, and the House recessed until 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2026.
Vote details (as recorded in the transcript): the consent calendar passed (Ayes 91, no nays); House Joint Resolution 7-11 was adopted by recorded vote (tally reported in the transcript); House Joint Resolution 7-39 was adopted (Ayes 88, no nays).
