<BillNo> <Sponsor> SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 517 By Gilmore A RESOLUTION to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the passage of Public Chapter 95 of 1921. 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…. It follows that unless there is some constitutional or legislative provision enabling her to hold office, she is not eligible to the same"; and WHEREAS, in short, such ruling declared that although a woman was a citizen of the State, she had no right to vote or hold any elected office; and WHEREAS, on April 17, 1919, Governor A. H. Roberts signed into law Public Chapter 139 of 1919, "AN ACT granting women the right to vote for electors of President and Vice President of the United States, and for municipal officers"; under this law, women in Tennessee could now vote in most elections, but the bar to holding public office remained; and WHEREAS, in August 1920, Tennessee became the thirty-sixth and final state necessary to ratify the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution; women throughout the SJR0517 006838 - 1 - United States were then able to vote in the November 1920 presidential election, but women in Tennessee still had no legal right to hold public office; and WHEREAS, in a special election held in January 1921 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator J.

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.

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.
