WHEREAS, on April 5, 1921, Governor Alfred A. Taylor signed into law Senate Bill 737, which became Public Chapter 95 of 1921, a law that gave the women of Tennessee the right to hold public office; and WHEREAS, less than thirty years earlier, on April 29, 1893, the Tennessee Supreme Court had declared in State ex rel. v. Davidson, 92 Tenn 531; 22 S.W. 203, that "By the English or common law, no woman, under the dignity of a queen, could take part in the government of the State, and they could hold no office except parish office…"; and WHEREAS, the Tennessee Supreme Court further stated that "Although a woman may be a citizen, she is not entitled, by virtue of her citizenship, to take any part in the government, either as a voter or as an officer, independent of legislation conferring such rights upon her….

  • 2019 Legislation Report for TCOG Members
    2019 Legislation Report By Deborah Fisher Executive Director, Tennessee Coalition for Open Government Following is a list of new public records exemptions and other public record laws passed by the 111th General Assembly, plus some proposals that failed or were delayed until next year. The new exemptions add to a list that is nearing 600. Citizens can expect some bills related to public records to re-emerge when the Legislature reconvenes Jan. 14, 2020. One of the more significant bills that was delayed, but attracted a lot of attention late in the session, would create a process for an injunction against a public records requester whose behavior was deemed “harassment,” as well as require government entities to post “basic government information” on their websites. New laws on public records 1 – New process for adopting exemptions to the Tennessee Public Records Act A new section was added to the Tennessee Public Records Act that requires that “any legislation that creates an exception to the open records requirement of § 10-7-503 deeming records of public entities to be open for inspection by the public must be referred to the government operations committee according to the rules of the house of representatives.” The House Government Operations Committee then is required to give a positive, neutral or negative recommendation before the legislation would continue its process through the committee system. This measure was adopted after the joint Ad Hoc Committee on Open Government met last fall to consider the growing number of exemptions to the public records act. State Rep. Jason Zachary, R-Knoxville, who sponsored the legislation (House Bill 86) and was the House chair of the ad hoc committee, has said this change is an effort to allow additional scrutiny to proposed exemptions going forward and assure that exceptions that might be part of a larger piece of legislation on a different topic do not go unnoticed by stakeholders in the public.

However, getting student discipline under control may be a bigger we tackle the complex challenge. discipline issues that are driving good educators The Tennessee General Assembly is taking a welcome look at the issue of school from our classrooms. discipline. Children cannot learn in a classroom where their teachers spend a significant amount of time dealing with student discipline issues. It can be unsafe, for the teacher and the other students, and significantly disrupts the learning environment. Our organization has raised this issue across the state for the last decade and it has been a national issue for the last 30 years. Finally, legislators in the Tennessee General Assembly are waking up to the fact that it is time we tackle this complex issue that is driving good educators from our classrooms. As an organization, Professional Educators of Tennessee is grateful for the legislators who support those on the frontlines. Here are a few of the bills we support: • Representative Charlie Baum and Senator Bill Powers have legislation House Bill 2693/Senate Bill 2437 that confers civil immunity upon a teacher, principal, school employee, or school bus driver properly using reasonable force to correct or restrain a student or prevent bodily harm or death to another person.
