Letter to AG Slatery

It was with incredulity that we heard of the latest overreach of this federal administration. They have no legal authority to direct schools to accommodate students with gender identity disorder at the expense of the mentally healthy enrollment. When the constitution and/or the law do not result in the advancement of their far left social agenda, they seem to resort to their preferred tactic: bullying. Bullying through threats of withholding the legal return of our pass through dollars and bullying through their unique deployment of mobocracy seem to be interchangeable weapons in the arsenal used to achieve assumed unilateral authority. We are asking you to challenge the legal authority of the federal government to enforce any “directives” or financial withholding threats contained in the guidance letter issued on Thursday, May 12, 2016. The sovereign states of North Carolina, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas have already filed legal arguments against this current federal overreach. Creating directives in the absence of legal authority of supporting laws must be challenged. In ever increasing ways, the federal administration has devolved into the antithesis of the rule of law. -

Concerned, Frustrated, Or Just Plain Mad About the Repeal of Professional Negotiations?
Concerned, Frustrated, or Just Plain Mad About the Repeal of Professional Negotiations? This year’s legislature repealed the education professional negotiations law which has worked very well for nearly 35 years. They replaced it with a “collaborative conferencing” law which – despite the name – was developed behind closed doors by a handful of legislators. Below is the roll call vote on the repeal of the negotiations law. Those who voted “yes” to repeal the law (against TEA’s position) were: 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), Jack Johnson (R-Franklin), Brian Kelsey (R-Collierville), Bill Ketron (R-Murfreesboro), Randy McNally (R-Oak Ridge), Mark Norris (R-Collierville), 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).

CURES Act Passed!
January 2017, CURES Act Passed! The 21st Century Cures Act gained congressional approval on December 4, 2016. The bill includes provi- sions aimed at fighting the opioid epidemic, strengthens laws mandating parity for behavioral and physi- cal health care and includes grants to increase the number of psychologists and psychiatrists, who are in short supply across the country. It's also the most significant piece of mental health legislation since the 2008 law requiring parity or equal insurance coverage for all health care conditions. While funding treat- ments for mental illness and addiction is expensive, "it's more expensive to ignore it," says Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Texas, who co-sponsored mental health legislation in the House that folded into the 21st Century Cures Act. The House of Representatives passed the 21st Century Cures Act by a 392 to 26 vote and then the $6.3 billion legislation easily passed the Senate in a vote of 94-5. The 21st Century Cures Act has been two years in the making and it was one of the most heavily lobbied pieces of legislation in recent history. It pays for cancer research, pays to fight the epidemic of opioid abuse, funds mental health treatment, helps the Food and Drug Administration to speed up drug approv- als and pushes better use of technology in medicine. It includes $500 million a year to help states prevent opioid misuse and get better treatment for those with opioid addictions. "These additional resources are particularly critical in rural areas, where rates of opioid misuse and overdose are high, access to treatment is limited, and patients who seek treatment are often met with waitlists that can mean the difference be- tween life and death," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. -

Legislative Branch Tennessee Blue Book
SECTION I Legislative Branch Tennessee Blue Book Tennessee ELECTORATE Legislative Branch General Assembly Speaker of Speaker of the Senate the House Secretary of Comptroller of State Treasurer State the Treasury Boards, Tennessee Commissions, Regulatory Councils Authority Joint Special Joint Fiscal Review Legislative Legislative Committee Management Committees Committee Boards, Commissions, Councils 2 Introduction Legislative Branch Tennessee’s legislative branch of government consists of a bicameral General Assembly with a Senate and House of Representatives. Th is structure has existed since the Assembly’s fi rst meet- ing in Knoxville in the winter of 1796, just before Tennessee became the 16th state in the Union. Members of the General Assembly, or Legislature, are elected by popular vote from districts across the state. Legislators are part-time lawmakers who live in their district and know the local issues. Th e primary function of the General Assembly is lawmaking. Th e Legislature enacts laws, provides a forum for debate and secures fi nancing for the operation of state government. Th e Tennessee Constitution requires that the annual budget of state government be balanced—spend- ing no more money than it takes in. Th e legislative and executive branches work together to ensure that each year’s budget balances. Th e General Assembly reviews and revises the governor’s proposed budget and passes tax laws to provide needed revenue. Th e Constitution specifi es the size of the legislature, requiring 99 members in the House and prohibiting the Senate membership from exceeding one-third of the House membership. Th us, the Senate has 33 members.
