  • A Student's Guide to the Tennessee
    The MembersA of theStudent’s Senate Guide to the Tennessee Senate 2013 Edition Welcome to the Tennessee Senate. Thank you for your interest in your government. My name is Ron Ramsey. I am the Lieutenant Governor of Tennessee. I have this job because a majority of my fellow senators voted for me to be their leader, or “Speaker.” Unlike many other states, Tennessee’s Lieutenant Governor is also head of its Senate. My duties as both Speaker of the Senate and Lieutenant Governor keep me very busy. However, because I am a state Senator, my job is officially part-time. Having a part-time legislature is good because it allows elected officials to spend time living and working under the laws they make and with the people they represent. When the legislature is not in session I run a real estate and auction business with my wife, Sindy, in my hometown of Blountville, which is right on the border between Virginia and Tennessee. It is a wonderful town and I am glad to be able to spend time there when the legislature is not in session. If you visit the Capitol on a day when the legislature is in session, you will see me presiding over the Senate. I have a gavel, and I do my best to keep Senate sessions moving along quickly and efficiently so my members can get back home to their families and businesses. I also make all of the Senate’s committee assignments. Much of the Senate’s work goes on in committees so it is important to have the right people working on the right issues.

  • GENERAL ASSEMBLY PASSES MAJOR PBM REFORM LEGISLATION Bill Protects Patients Access, Choice, & Transparency for Prescription Drugs
    Legislative Update Friday, May 7, 2021 GENERAL ASSEMBLY PASSES MAJOR PBM REFORM LEGISLATION Bill Protects Patients Access, Choice, & Transparency for Prescription Drugs A bill tightening regulations on companies that manage prescription drug benefits, known as Pharmacy Benefit Managers, or “PBMs,” passed the House and Senate on Tuesday. SB1617/HB1398 carried by Sen. Shane Reeves, R-Murfreesboro, and Rep. Esther Helton, R-East Ridge, seeks to increase patient choice, access, and transparency in obtaining prescription drugs and address problematic practices employed by PBMs. Specifically, the bill is built upon five key pillars: Eliminating PBMs discrimination on 340B entities, which undercut the financial benefits delivered through the federal 340B drug program to community health care clinics; Safeguarding patient choice by prohibiting PBMs from imposing coverage or benefit limitations on medications a patient chooses to receive outside the health plan’s preferred network; Ensuring any drug rebates provided by the manfacturer are passed through the pharmacy directly to the consumer, and that pharmacists are paid their acquisition costs for drugs; Requiring PBMs to report any entitlement benefit percentage to both the plan and covered person; and Ensuring transparency in the PBM industry by freeing up data to provide patients with accurate information at the point of care in order to improve medication adherence. Pharmacy Benefit Managers have long argued their industry helps lower drug costs for patients; however, according to data from the AARP, the average cost of Tennessee prescriptions increased by 58 percent between 2012 and 2017 alone. According to Sen. Reeves who is a pharmacist by trade, the opague nature of the PBM, coupled with its vertical integration of market services, has allowed the industry to divert savings intended for the consumer as profit, thereby artificially inflating health care costs.

I hope you enjoy your visit and the opportunity to witness the building’s beauty and history. Upon its original completion, this Capitol was considered one of the most magnificent public buildings in the country. Interestingly, the facility has served as the seat of Tennessee State Government since that time and remains a source of pride for our citizens today. Visitors from around the world come to Nashville to tour the grounds and legislative chambers. Utilized since 1853, our Senate Chamber’s significance exceeds the beauty of the walls surrounding it. The chamber, as a forum for debate and discussion, epitomizes our democracy; speeches delivered here have resonated well beyond the upstairs gallery ushering change to the entire country.

  • Pfizer Inc. Regarding Congruency of Political Contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation
    SANFORD J. LEWIS, ATTORNEY January 28, 2021 Via electronic mail Office of Chief Counsel Division of Corporation Finance U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Shareholder Proposal to Pfizer Inc. Regarding congruency of political contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation Ladies and Gentlemen: Tara Health Foundation (the “Proponent”) is beneficial owner of common stock of Pfizer Inc. (the “Company”) and has submitted a shareholder proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Company. I have been asked by the Proponent to respond to the supplemental letter dated January 25, 2021 ("Supplemental Letter") sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission by Margaret M. Madden. A copy of this response letter is being emailed concurrently to Margaret M. Madden. The Company continues to assert that the proposal is substantially implemented. In essence, the Company’s original and supplemental letters imply that under the substantial implementation doctrine as the company understands it, shareholders are not entitled to make the request of this proposal for an annual examination of congruency, but that a simple written acknowledgment that Pfizer contributions will sometimes conflict with company values is all on this topic that investors are entitled to request through a shareholder proposal. The Supplemental letter makes much of the claim that the proposal does not seek reporting on “instances of incongruency” but rather on how Pfizer’s political and electioneering expenditures aligned during the preceding year against publicly stated company values and policies.” While the company has provided a blanket disclaimer of why its contributions may sometimes be incongruent, the proposal calls for an annual assessment of congruency.

  • Legislators Demand Teacher Accountability – Demand Legislator Accountability Too!
    Concerned, Frustrated, or Just Plain Mad About Changes to Tenure and the New Evaluation System? The new teacher tenure law significantly impacts any teacher who achieved tenure after July 1, 2011. Many questions remain unanswered about the new evaluation system which affects all teachers. TEA strongly encouraged the legislature to delay implementing the tenure changes until the new evaluation system was finalized – they refused to delay it. Listed below are those legislators who voted AGAINST DELAYING the tenure changes. Senators Mae Beavers (R-Mt. Juliet), Mike Bell (R-Riceville), Stacey Campfield (R-Knoxville), Rusty Crowe (R- Johnson City), Mike Faulk (R-Kingsport), Dolores Gresham (R-Somerville), Douglas Henry (D-Nashville), Jack Johnson (R-Franklin), Brian Kelsey (R-Collierville), Bill Ketron (R-Murfreesboro), Randy McNally (R-Oak Ridge), Mark Norris (R-Collierville), Doug Overbey (R-Maryville), Kerry Roberts (R-Springfield), Steve Southerland (R-Morristown), Jim Summerville (R-Dickson), Jim Tracy (R-Shelbyville), Bo Watson (R-Hixson), Jamie Woodson (R-Knoxville), Ken Yager (R-Harriman), and Speaker Ron Ramsey (R-Blountville).
