    <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.

  • August 3, 2021 the Honorable Todd Gardenhire, Chairman Fiscal
    August 3, 2021 The Honorable Todd Gardenhire, Chairman Fiscal Review Committee 732 Cordell Hull Building Nashville, TN 37243 Dear Chairman Gardenhire, The Department of Correction (TDOC) wishes to amend its current contract for the electronic monitoring of offenders utilizing GPS units and electronic victim notification to extend the contract term for an additional year and to increase the maximum liability accordingly. An RFP was released in March 2020. During the Open File Period and Notice of Intent to Award a discrepancy was discovered in the calculation of the cost proposals. The Central Procurement Office/RFP Coordinator notified the TDOC that the current RFP may need to be cancelled and re-issued due to this discrepancy while the procurement documents are further reviewed. At this time, Central Procurement and TDOC are determining whether to move forward with the current RFP noting the scoring issue as part of the procurement file or to cancel the current RFP, correct the scoring issue and then re-issue the RFP. This extension will allow continued necessary services during the review and re-issue of the RFP. Buddi, US is incorporated in Florida. TDOC Legal Staff finds no records concerning allegations of fraudulent activity by this vendor. An amendment request with all required supporting documentation to permit this amendment was submitted to the Commissioner of General Services and the Comptroller of the Treasury simultaneously with this submission to the Fiscal Review Committee. We appreciate your consideration of this matter.

  • 2019Legislative Report Card
    2019 LEGISLATIVE REPORT CARD 2019 RESULTS 1,549 bills reviewed 342 bills tracked 32 bills amended 11 bills defeated 6 bills passed The first session of the 111th Tennessee General Assembly brought nearly 40 new legislators and was the start of a new gubernatorial administration, so TMA entered the transitional year with an intentionally limited focus on opioids, graduate medical education funding and scope of practice. The Tennessee Medical Association in 2019 was named the most influential and trusted advocacy organization in the state*, not just in healthcare but across all industries. We exist to serve Tennessee physicians and advocate for public policies, rules and regulations that promote healthcare safety and quality for all Tennesseans and improve the non-clinical aspects of practicing medicine. *Based on an independent survey and ranking by Capitol Resources, LLC, February 2019. OPIOIDS While TMA was able to make significant improvements to Gov. Bill Haslam’s “TN Together” legislation in 2018, some of the unintended consequences doctors initially feared the new law would create manifested across the state. TMA worked with the General Assembly in 2019 to amend the law to address specific issues raised by doctors and patients, and to ensure that the laws did not unreasonably obstruct patients from accessing legitimate, effective pain management. New amendments allow prescribers to give peer review committees at hospitals and medical group practices their Controlled Substance Monitoring Database reports to monitor and improve internal prescribing patterns, clarifies major and minor surgery definitions and defines a palliative care exemption, among other changes. TMA developed a number of proprietary resources to educate doctors when the laws first took effect in 2018 and promptly updated them to reflect the 2019 changes.

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.
