471
00:23:37,279 --> 00:23:39,360

those that cared more about our Liberty

473
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,390
and freedom than he did his own life and

474
00:23:42,390 --> 00:23:44,240
we used to say that about him he was a

475
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,840
tunnel rat Tim's daddy was a tunnel rat

grateful for the body's uh consideration

00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,390
your consideration I'm going to ask you

502
00:24:49,390 --> 00:24:51,279
what these have in common second deegree

503
00:24:51,279 --> 00:24:55,320
murder an act of terrorism grave torture

504
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,399
aggravated rape of a child aggravated

505
00:24:58,399 --> 00:24:59,960
statutory

506
00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:03,480
rape fac facilitation of rape of a child

507
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,880
rape aggravated sexual battery

508
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,240
continuous sexual abuse of a child these

509
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,840
are just a few things that have

510
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,390
something in common what these things

511
00:25:13,390 --> 00:25:15,320
have in common is the fact that a judge

512
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,679
is prohibited from denying bail to

513
00:25:18,679 --> 00:25:21,279
someone who is charged with one of these

514
00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:23,799
heinous offenses and that requirement

515
00:25:23,799 --> 00:25:25,600
doesn't come from statute it comes

516
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,320
ladies and gentlemen from our

517
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,240
constitution you see the Tennessee

518
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:30,880
Constitution mandates that all

519
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,120
defendants except those charged with

520
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:35,279
capital defenses must be granted bail

521
00:25:35,279 --> 00:25:37,200
regardless of their danger to the

522
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,480
community this constitutional provision

523
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,360
prevents judges from detaining even the

524
00:25:41,360 --> 00:25:43,559
most violent offenders allowing them to

525
00:25:43,559 --> 00:25:46,520
reenter society and commit additional

526
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,440
crimes while awaiting trial Senate joint

527
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,440
resolution 25 proposes to correct this

528
00:25:52,919 --> 00:25:55,919
dangerous Gap by allowing judges to deny

529
00:25:55,919 --> 00:25:58,600
bail for a narrowly defined set of

530
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,000
severe offenses including terrorism

531
00:26:01,390 --> 00:26:03,800
second-degree murder aggravated rape

532
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,919
grave torture this proposed amendment

533
00:26:05,919 --> 00:26:07,919
would ensure that only defendants For

534
00:26:07,919 --> 00:26:09,840
Whom the proof of guilt is evident and

535
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,159
the presumption great can be held

536
00:26:12,159 --> 00:26:14,799
without bail pres which would prevent

537
00:26:14,799 --> 00:26:17,480
misuse of judicial discretion currently

538
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,200
dangerous criminals with Financial

539
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,559
Resources can buy their way out of jail

540
00:26:21,559 --> 00:26:23,399
while Indigent defendants accused of

541
00:26:23,399 --> 00:26:26,800
lesser crimes remain detained simply

542
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,640
because they cannot afford bail

543
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,399
preventative detention has been upheld

544
00:26:30,399 --> 00:26:33,800
by the United States Supreme Court in US

545
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,680
versus solo 1987 as a constitutional and

546
00:26:37,390 --> 00:26:39,880
necessary tool for protecting the public

547
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,880
the federal bail Reform Act of 1984

548
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,000
which denies bail to highrisk defendants

549
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,960
in certain cases has been used

550
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,390
successfully for decades without

551
00:26:49,390 --> 00:26:51,439
constitutional challenges at least 23

552
00:26:52,390 --> 00:26:53,880
other states have modernized their

553
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,280
constitutions to permit permit

554
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,120
preventative detention for serious or

555
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:01,520
repeat violent offenses bringing their

556
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,800
laws in line with modern Public Safety

557
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,159
needs Tennessee remains one of only 18

558
00:27:07,159 --> 00:27:09,760
states that still adhere to an outdated

559
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,390
capital offenses only standard which

560
00:27:12,390 --> 00:27:14,000
makes it an outlier in addressing

561
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,000
pre-trial Public Safety risks in

562
00:27:17,399 --> 00:27:19,919
numerous tragic incidences cases across

563
00:27:19,919 --> 00:27:22,360
Tennessee violent offenders released on

564
00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:24,480
bail have committed additional crimes

565
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,390
including murder domestic violence and

566
00:27:27,390 --> 00:27:29,559
sexual assault a bureau of Justice

567
00:27:29,559 --> 00:27:31,840
statistics study found that 12% of

568
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,120
convicted violent felons in major uh

569
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:37,840
major urban areas were out on pre-trial

570
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,640
release when they committed their

571
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,159
additional

572
00:27:41,159 --> 00:27:44,159
crimes Senate joint resolution 25 would

573
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,640
allow judges permissively to use their

574
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,200
discretion to deny bail only in cases

575
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,159
where they determine a defendant poses a

576
00:27:52,159 --> 00:27:53,360
significant

577
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:56,600
risk of future harm ensuring that all

578
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,320
other cases remain eligible for

579
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,320
Prevail fears of mass incarceration are

580
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:03,600
some of the arguments I've heard against

581
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,519
this amendment are unfounded this

582
00:28:05,519 --> 00:28:07,640
amendment is designed to impact only the

583
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,840
most serious offenders who pose an

584
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,320
immediate threat to Public Safety the

585
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:13,960
Tennessee District Attorney's Conference

586
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,279
has called this the most the single most

587
00:28:16,279 --> 00:28:18,840
important Public Safety measure in years

588
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,320
here in the state of

589
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,679
Tennessee I want to be clear members

590
00:28:22,679 --> 00:28:25,000
Senate joint resolution 25 does not

591
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,159
eliminate bail even for those most

592
00:28:27,159 --> 00:28:29,919
heinous cases it gives our judges the

593
00:28:29,919 --> 00:28:32,679
discretion to deny bail when they deem

594
00:28:32,679 --> 00:28:35,159
it in the interest of Public Safety when

595
00:28:35,159 --> 00:28:36,840
there is someone who is before them

596
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,640
charged with a serious crime or crimes

597
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,760
and potentially has a violent criminal

598
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,279
history it allows the judges to have the

599
00:28:44,279 --> 00:28:47,240
discretion to detain those people

600
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,800
pre-trial this amendment will make

601
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:50,840
Tennessee's Criminal Justice System more

602
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,519
fair more modern and most importantly it

603
00:28:53,519 --> 00:28:55,799
will make our communities safer by

604
00:28:55,799 --> 00:28:57,640
keeping these violent people off our

605
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,640
streets while they await trial uh Mr

606
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,679
speaker thank you appreciate the body's

607
00:29:02,679 --> 00:29:04,240
Indulgence that was a bit of a lengthy

608
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:05,840
explanation but this is an extremely

609
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,200
important matter I move adoption of

610
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,159
Senate joint resolution 25 on third or

611
00:29:11,159 --> 00:29:13,200
final consideration the motion is for

612
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,640
adoption on third and final

613
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,390
consideration of Senate joint resolution

614
00:29:17,390 --> 00:29:19,390
25

615
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,120
discussion Senator Crow and then Senator

616
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,120
bowling

617
00:29:29,159 --> 00:29:31,000
Mr Speaker this this is one of those

618
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,840
bills one of those

619
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:37,360
resolutions that our Das want some of my

620
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,000
judges don't my Bales bondman don't like

621
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,720
it there's much of it I like some of it

622
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,799
I don't like but the more I've thought

623
00:29:45,799 --> 00:29:48,519
about it and The more I've studied it

624
00:29:48,519 --> 00:29:51,399
and talked with both sides the more I

625
00:29:51,399 --> 00:29:55,159
realize that kind of like the uh Lottery

626
00:29:55,159 --> 00:29:58,390
Bill we had years ago I was number 17 on

627
00:29:58,390 --> 00:29:59,480
on that and I didn't want a

628
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,960
lottery but I wanted my people to have

629
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,919
the right to vote on this I didn't want

630
00:30:03,919 --> 00:30:07,399
to take that away and so I guess in the

631
00:30:07,399 --> 00:30:11,120
interest of uh being honest to everyone

632
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,000
uh for those that

633
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,200
I was was talking with when I opposed

634
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,799
this pill this

635
00:30:17,799 --> 00:30:21,720
resolution uh and however now support it

636
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,399
how I I would apologize to those that uh

637
00:30:24,399 --> 00:30:26,760
that I had told that I was not

638
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,800
supportive of it however I think in the

639
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,390
interest of of of my constituents I'm

640
00:30:33,390 --> 00:30:34,720
going to vote for this so they can have

641
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,440
that opportunity that privilege to say

642
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,840
yes or no themselves just like we did on

643
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:43,000
the lottery and uh that's where I am

644
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,000
thank you Senator Crow Senator

645
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,600
bowling thank you Mr Speaker um I'm

646
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,800
rising as someone who had opposed this

647
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:54,519
and I have told many people that I

648
00:30:54,519 --> 00:30:58,800
opposed this and uh I have found out

649
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,279
some information I did not consider and

650
00:31:01,279 --> 00:31:05,390
had not known prior to now and what I

651
00:31:05,390 --> 00:31:07,390
have found out is that it is judicial

652
00:31:07,390 --> 00:31:09,600
discretion it is not a guarantee that

653
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,519
they will withhold the bail this would

654
00:31:11,519 --> 00:31:14,159
be a heinous crime this would be uh

655
00:31:14,159 --> 00:31:16,600
something to a child torturing a child

656
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,960
these are these are people that should

657
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,399
not be and if there has to be a

658
00:31:20,399 --> 00:31:22,639
preponderance of evidence and there has

659
00:31:22,639 --> 00:31:26,960
to be uh other factors that would allow

660
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,800
them to not give of bail but also one of

661
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,120
the things that I have considered

662
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,279
because there are so many facts pro and

663
00:31:35,279 --> 00:31:38,559
con in this I think this is one of the

664
00:31:38,559 --> 00:31:39,880
things that needs to go before the

665
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,840
people of the state of Tennessee which

666
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,600
our yes vote will allow for the people

667
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,639
of Tennessee at the next goral election

668
00:31:47,639 --> 00:31:49,399
this would be on the ballot for them to

669
00:31:49,399 --> 00:31:50,639
make the

670
00:31:50,639 --> 00:31:53,320
determination thank you Senator bowling

671
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,279
further

672
00:31:55,279 --> 00:31:57,679
discussion I see none

673
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,720
I'm sorry Senator

674
00:32:02,399 --> 00:32:04,840
Gardenhire thank you Mr Speaker with a

675
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,840
sponsor yield sponsor

676
00:32:07,519 --> 00:32:11,200
Yi I have absolutely no arguments with

677
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,600
the premise of this

678
00:32:14,679 --> 00:32:17,790
resolution I have no

679
00:32:17,799 --> 00:32:20,399
problem with locking these people up and

680
00:32:20,399 --> 00:32:23,720
throwing away the key on the on the

681
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,720
issues that you brought up

682
00:32:29,799 --> 00:32:31,639
when I ran in

683
00:32:31,639 --> 00:32:34,480
2012 the major theme of my campaign was

684
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,480
the unintended

685
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,880
consequences and I've tried to maintain

686
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,880
that stance all these 12 or 13

687
00:32:45,390 --> 00:32:47,390
years last

688
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,880
August this

689
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,960
body gave roughly $130 million give or

690
00:32:54,159 --> 00:32:55,390
take

691
00:32:55,390 --> 00:32:58,390
five to mental health professionals

692
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,360
in our special session because we felt

693
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,200
like we had to do something I didn't

694
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,200
vote for

695
00:33:06,390 --> 00:33:09,679
it as far as I know it did no

696
00:33:09,679 --> 00:33:11,919
good we still had another school

697
00:33:11,919 --> 00:33:15,390
shooting after we magnanimously gave the

698
00:33:15,390 --> 00:33:16,320
money

699
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,279
away we took $30 million from a trust

700
00:33:19,279 --> 00:33:20,960
fund that Senator Watson had set up a

701
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,200
couple years ago to help build a

702
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,200
prison in the

703
00:33:26,390 --> 00:33:29,480
state to help fund that $130 million

704
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,480
plus or

705
00:33:31,679 --> 00:33:34,399
minus to build a new prison it's roughly

706
00:33:34,399 --> 00:33:36,399
about 450 to $500

707
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,600
million I've heard absolutely nothing

708
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:44,559
from

709
00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:49,320
anybody on how we're going to pay for

710
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,639
this when it hits the

711
00:33:51,639 --> 00:33:53,639
fan nothing

712
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,880
crickets today in judiciary we had a

713
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:03,159
senator offer a bill to build a juvenile

714
00:34:03,159 --> 00:34:05,159
prison $238

715
00:34:06,519 --> 00:34:08,519
million in West

716
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,960
Tennessee we had an offic of the Court

717
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,960
when they did their budget came to us

718
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,800
and I asked him specifically I said how

719
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:21,000
many new prisoners do you think this

720
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,119
will be put in our jails and they said

721
00:34:25,119 --> 00:34:27,519
probably no new prisoners

722
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,800
let me repeat that no new

723
00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:35,679
prisoners but there always a

724
00:34:36,599 --> 00:34:39,159
butt sometimes I'm the butt but in this

725
00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:43,959
case it was a butt they'll just stay

726
00:34:44,790 --> 00:34:47,960
longer and we'll have to pay for it

727
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,960
Corrections came to

728
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,440
us and I asked them I said what's your

729
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,160
vacancy that you have in your prison oh

730
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,160
we've got 20% vacancies

731
00:35:01,359 --> 00:35:05,560
20 and I said why that's not what I'm

732
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,560
hearing well

733
00:35:08,359 --> 00:35:11,359
uh we can't hire correction

734
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,280
officers we can't pay them

735
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,640
enough it's a tough job and they don't

736
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,760
stay long and so that's why we've got

737
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,760
20% vacancies

738
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,440
the

739
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,840
Das I've had my

740
00:35:40,839 --> 00:35:44,439
Das outline why they're not for

741
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,760
it Marin

742
00:35:47,119 --> 00:35:50,520
County C bowling just issued $6 Million

743
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,160
worth of

744
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,560
bonds to expand their

745
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,960
jails why there's a

746
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,200
trend in this

747
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,680
state of an increase in a certain type

748
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:06,520
of

749
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,520
prisoners

750
00:36:10,319 --> 00:36:12,319
females and it's

751
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,560
expensive to rebuild and retool a a jail

752
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,560
to take care of that

753
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,440
population and if we're going to pass

754
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,960
something like this again let me be

755
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,520
perfectly

756
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,400
clear I don't argue with the intent of

757
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,359
what we're trying to

758
00:36:33,359 --> 00:36:35,880
do but when we had the first

759
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,480
reading and we had a second

760
00:36:40,790 --> 00:36:43,280
reading and when we had it

761
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,200
committee I called on the

762
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,599
administration to come forward with some

763
00:36:48,599 --> 00:36:50,359
ideas on how they're going to pay for

764
00:36:50,359 --> 00:36:51,480
this

765
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,839
thing when it comes du and if it passes

766
00:36:55,839 --> 00:36:58,839
in the next Governor's election

767
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:02,400
nobody in this body has talked about how

768
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:03,440
we're going to pay for this thing when

769
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,599
we put these people which deserve it in

770
00:37:06,599 --> 00:37:09,200
jail for a long time that's the

771
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,160
unintended

772
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,560
consequence of a good

773
00:37:14,319 --> 00:37:17,790
idea and until somebody shows me how

774
00:37:17,790 --> 00:37:19,839
they're going to set aside the

775
00:37:19,839 --> 00:37:23,800
money to take care of these things that

776
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,359
I'm not going to support it I'm not

777
00:37:25,359 --> 00:37:26,520
going to be

778
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,000
there when all of a sudden our local

779
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,400
County commissions and City

780
00:37:32,790 --> 00:37:33,920
commissions and

781
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,319
sheriffs start saying hey Senator we

782
00:37:37,319 --> 00:37:39,359
need more money for jail well we don't

783
00:37:39,359 --> 00:37:40,880
have it because we're taking care of

784
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:41,839
something

785
00:37:41,839 --> 00:37:44,960
else so I ask all of y'all to think long

786
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,960
and hard about the unintended

787
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,400
consequence of this legislation and this

788
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,839
resolution thank you Mr speaker thank

789
00:37:53,839 --> 00:37:55,440
you Senator

790
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,440
gire Senator yarboro

791
00:38:00,839 --> 00:38:02,359
uh thank you Mr

792
00:38:02,359 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker and I I share the our colleagues

793
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,359
from Hamilton's concerns about the the

794
00:38:09,359 --> 00:38:11,359
Practical consequences of

795
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:15,839
this I I think that it is it is it is

796
00:38:15,839 --> 00:38:18,880
fool hearty to think that you can

797
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,440
do this significant of a

798
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,640
change in the way that every courthouse

799
00:38:25,839 --> 00:38:28,480
in the state works and every jail in the

800
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,760
state works and that there's not going

801
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,760
to be actual

802
00:38:33,119 --> 00:38:36,359
consequences uh we know that this is I

803
00:38:36,359 --> 00:38:39,000
mean most likely going to lead to the

804
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,400
exact problem that our colleague from

805
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:42,960
Hamilton just raised in terms of

806
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,640
additional cost that we're not actually

807
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,319
raising to the voters here even if it

808
00:38:49,319 --> 00:38:51,800
you know in addition to the jail aspect

809
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,800
to do this sort of

810
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,960
process the way that this is a allowed

811
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,760
under federal law to do more to have

812
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,880
more offenses they require right to

813
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,880
councils and

814
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,280
cross-examinations and lengthier

815
00:39:09,119 --> 00:39:12,160
processes than what we typically do in

816
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,680
Tennessee on pre-trial so he going to

817
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,480
significantly unless we are going to be

818
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,560
willing to spend a lot more on District

819
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,560
Attorneys on public

820
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,640
defenders on local Criminal Courts on

821
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,560
County jails and sheriffs like we

822
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,960
shouldn't be pushing this

823
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,520
forward just

824
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,160
period but I think the more important

825
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,160
reason is that there's just some Powers

826
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,160
the government shouldn't

827
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,359
have

828
00:39:44,359 --> 00:39:47,880
and like when we come in this room and

829
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,839
take that oath we take an oath not to

830
00:39:49,839 --> 00:39:52,720
abridge the rights of people and this

831
00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:55,880
limits the rights of people right now as

832
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,720
it has been since this state was

833
00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:01,120
founded Constitution says that

834
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,599
everybody has this right and we are

835
00:40:05,599 --> 00:40:07,599
taking that right

836
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,880
away uh that was in our original 1796

837
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,560
Constitution the exact same language is

838
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,560
adopted in the 1834 Constitution adopted

839
00:40:18,359 --> 00:40:20,359
again in the 1870

840
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,119
Constitution throughout all the

841
00:40:22,119 --> 00:40:24,640
amendments in the 20th century no no no

842
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:25,880
changes were

843
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,599
made and actually goes back even further

844
00:40:28,599 --> 00:40:30,119
than this like the right to bail goes

845
00:40:30,119 --> 00:40:32,519
back to the Magna

846
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,400
Carta but this particular version should

847
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,880
be should mean something to us like the

848
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,200
exact language that we use comes from

849
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:42,960
North Carolina and from

850
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,960
Pennsylvania and actually it comes

851
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,280
from people who came to the United

852
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,240
States who were themselves subject to

853
00:40:52,240 --> 00:40:54,920
religious persecution and were held

854
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,160
improperly by the by the crown

855
00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,880
held in prison because of their

856
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:02,560
religious beliefs and it was fundamental

857
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,790
to what they thought government could

858
00:41:05,790 --> 00:41:08,790
and couldn't do to say

859
00:41:08,119 --> 00:41:10,119
that the say

860
00:41:11,790 --> 00:41:14,000
so of like a couple of government of of

861
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,359
a judge and a prosecutor isn't enough

862
00:41:16,359 --> 00:41:19,200
for someone to give up their

863
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,640
Liberty they required something more

864
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,400
than that they required that there be

865
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,599
some sort of process where a jury your

866
00:41:27,599 --> 00:41:30,520
peers found that there was evidence to

867
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,880
against you before the government could

868
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,790
could take you away from your family and

869
00:41:35,790 --> 00:41:37,599
from your freedom and I don't think we

870
00:41:37,599 --> 00:41:38,960
should be moving in the opposite

871
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,119
direction than that it's just that

872
00:41:41,119 --> 00:41:44,680
simple and I I don't think that this is

873
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,800
this is not there have been states that

874
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,440
have made adjustments to this

875
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,359
constitutional provision but I don't

876
00:41:50,359 --> 00:41:52,790
think there's any that have gone as

877
00:41:52,790 --> 00:41:55,440
broadly as this I mean this is not a

878
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,840
narrow change this adds

879
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:03,319
73 or so offenses to a list and it

880
00:42:03,319 --> 00:42:05,599
doesn't say that bail may be denied it

881
00:42:05,599 --> 00:42:08,200
says like there's no right to bail in

882
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:09,880
those consequences in those

883
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:11,880
circumstances no

884
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,319
right

885
00:42:14,319 --> 00:42:17,240
and I think we should think long and

886
00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:20,240
hard before we push forward

887
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,520
on curtailing the rights of the people

888
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,839
that we represent thank you Mr speaker

889
00:42:25,839 --> 00:42:28,359

the sponsor yield sponsor yields uh to

893
00:42:36,559 --> 00:42:40,240
the sponsor how how is Terrorism defined

894
00:42:40,240 --> 00:42:42,240
in this

895
00:42:42,319 --> 00:42:45,919
bill Senator Johnson leader Johnson to

896
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,640
respond thank you Mr Speaker this is not

897
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,319
a bill this is a resolution proposing to

898
00:42:51,319 --> 00:42:53,839
amend the Tennessee Constitution uh

899
00:42:53,839 --> 00:42:56,119
terrorism is defined in statute it's in

900
00:42:56,119 --> 00:42:57,760
the Green books back I'll be happy to

901
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,680
get one of the books and find it for you

902
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:03,119
but it it's it's not defined in the

903
00:43:03,119 --> 00:43:07,319
bill sen lore Senator Campbell excuse me

904
00:43:07,319 --> 00:43:08,920
thank you Mr Speaker thanks you're right

905
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,640
of course it's a it's a resolution um

906
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,440
well I I think the ambiguous nature of

907
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,839
the definition of terrorism which is the

908
00:43:16,839 --> 00:43:18,760
unlawful use of force or violence

909
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:20,960
against persons or property to

910
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,360
Intimidator cor government is

911
00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:26,319
problematic in this instance along with

912
00:43:26,319 --> 00:43:30,160
the 7 three um offenses that fall under

913
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:31,720
the egis of the

914
00:43:31,720 --> 00:43:33,400
85%

915
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:34,920
definition

916
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,720
so I guess I would just say that along

917
00:43:37,720 --> 00:43:41,520
with um prior um colleagues of mine I

918
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,119
agree that this undermines the

919
00:43:43,119 --> 00:43:45,720
fundamental tenants of jurist prudence

920
00:43:45,720 --> 00:43:47,920
in American government which is that you

921
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:49,839
have a right to bail you have a right to

922
00:43:49,839 --> 00:43:52,400
Fair trial and and I think this is a

923
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,400
slippery slope and um and I also do

924
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,720
worry greatly that this is going to

925
00:43:57,720 --> 00:44:00,880
um hamper us financially because we

926
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,839
already have a problem um with avoing uh

927
00:44:04,839 --> 00:44:08,400
maintaining our carceral state so um so

928
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:09,880
I will be voting against this Bill thank

929
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,760
you Mr speaker thank you Senator

930
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,760
Campbell Senator

931
00:44:15,790 --> 00:44:17,359
Lamar thank you Mr

932
00:44:17,359 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker I would just like to raise a

933
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,790
couple of points Mr Speaker that are

934
00:44:21,790 --> 00:44:23,160
raised in committee about the bill of

935
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,680
why I think this is a dangerous

936
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,480
precedence that we're setting with this

937
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,760
particular piece of legislation I think

938
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,960
all of us as members of the Tennessee

939
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,400
general assembly and the Senate agree

940
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:35,880
that we want all of our communities be

941
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,960
safe we agree with Public Safety and we

942
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,359
agree with accountability and all of us

943
00:44:40,359 --> 00:44:42,790
have efforts in order to approve the

944
00:44:42,790 --> 00:44:43,760
Justice systems where we're holding bad

945
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,400
folks accountable but also making sure

946
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:47,920
we create a Tennesse for those who make

947
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:49,480
mistakes and get the opportunity to

948
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,559
correct themselves now the ability to

949
00:44:51,559 --> 00:44:53,280
access bail is one of the fundamental

950
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,160
rights that we give citizens in this

951
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,200
state because of the understanding you

952
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,119
are innocent until proven guilty now

953
00:45:00,119 --> 00:45:02,400
essentially what this particular

954
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,559
Constitution this resolution does if

955
00:45:04,559 --> 00:45:07,520
passed on the ballot is holding people

956
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,120
in jail for 73 crimes before they're

957
00:45:12,790 --> 00:45:15,640
actually proven to be guilty now as

958
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,200
stated in Senate Judiciary Committee Mr

959
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,119
Speaker it was said that there is not

960
00:45:21,119 --> 00:45:23,319
one state in the country that has a

961
00:45:23,319 --> 00:45:25,599
blanket Constitutional Amendment like

962
00:45:25,599 --> 00:45:27,880
this did not that gives judges the

963
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,839
ability to not bail for 73 crimes we

964
00:45:30,839 --> 00:45:32,160
will be the

965
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,160
first so we have no

966
00:45:35,240 --> 00:45:38,319
idea the implications this will cause

967
00:45:38,319 --> 00:45:40,119
because no other state has a

968
00:45:40,119 --> 00:45:42,359
constitutional amendment to do this for

969
00:45:42,359 --> 00:45:43,680
73

970
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,790
crimes secondly this per this will

971
00:45:47,790 --> 00:45:49,720
inhibit someone who may be

972
00:45:49,720 --> 00:45:53,000
innocent from being a for being able to

973
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,800
continue their lives so Mr Speaker if

974
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,480
you have an individual who is being

975
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,359
charged with one of the 73 crimes in a

976
00:46:00,359 --> 00:46:02,960
particular piece of legislation and that

977
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:04,599
judge denies

978
00:46:04,599 --> 00:46:07,319
bail they could lose their business

979
00:46:07,319 --> 00:46:10,160
their home their family and there's no

980
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,480
restitution for them if they hold were

981
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:17,240
being held and end up being found not

982
00:46:17,240 --> 00:46:20,790
guilty what this bill also doesn't

983
00:46:20,790 --> 00:46:22,400
really talk about the increase in

984
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,400
property tax that individuals will

985
00:46:25,790 --> 00:46:27,160
experience because of the incre increase

986
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,480
in jail prop uh jail population we were

987
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,800
in fact increased property taxes now if

988
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:34,599
you lived in Shelby County we're already

989
00:46:34,599 --> 00:46:37,280
debating an increase in tax in order to

990
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,680
fund the rebuilding of our jail because

991
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,440
it's overcrowded it's outdated and we

992
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,280
cannot already house the people that we

993
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,559
have in there so what we see what's

994
00:46:48,559 --> 00:46:50,200
happening in New Jersey which doesn't

995
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:51,839
have this Constitutional Amendment but

996
00:46:51,839 --> 00:46:53,480
does have some sort of

997
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:57,790
law with the same level of synergy they

998
00:46:57,790 --> 00:46:59,400
have increased property taxes and it's

999
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,720
still not enough to fund the increase in

1000
00:47:01,720 --> 00:47:05,790
prisoners that we see in jail based on

1001
00:47:05,790 --> 00:47:07,400
that piece of legislation where it's now

1002
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,400
having unintended

1003
00:47:09,240 --> 00:47:12,790
consequences I also think that people in

1004
00:47:12,790 --> 00:47:14,680
the public when they read this

1005
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,480
legislation on the ballot first and

1006
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,280
foremost I don't think the fiscal note

1007
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,440
doesn't reflect the actual cost that

1008
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,440
this will experience for taxpayers

1009
00:47:24,559 --> 00:47:26,400
because it's not talking about the

1010
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,400
increase in jail

1011
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,520
funding but secondly Mr Speaker when

1012
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,920
it's on the ballot it's not going to

1013
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,640
actually list all the crimes that are

1014
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,520
being considered in this legislation it

1015
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,640
reads the one through six and then line

1016
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:46,840
number seven talks about all the 60 plus

1017
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:51,400
crimes under truth and sentencing so for

1018
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,680
voters they're going to be reading this

1019
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,960
resolution on a ballot thinking it's

1020
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,400
only focusing on those six crimes that

1021
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,400
are listed explicitly they are going to

1022
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,839
be unaware of all the other crimes under

1023
00:48:04,839 --> 00:48:07,240
truth and sentencing which means they

1024
00:48:07,240 --> 00:48:10,640
cannot actually place a correct vote

1025
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,680
because it will not list all the crimes

1026
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,000
that this bill is going to

1027
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:20,790
cover SEC uh in addition judges can

1028
00:48:20,790 --> 00:48:23,720
already set a bill so high for those

1029
00:48:23,720 --> 00:48:25,559
violent offenders that they cannot get

1030
00:48:25,559 --> 00:48:27,520
out

1031
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,280
in addition to that you have an inequity

1032
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,480
on discretion by the judges based on

1033
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,800
where you live so if we're thinking

1034
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:41,000
about all 73 of these crimes and Shelby

1035
00:48:41,240 --> 00:48:43,119
there may be a judge that denies bail

1036
00:48:43,119 --> 00:48:45,280
for this crime but if you go to [ __ ]

1037
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,839
County this judge won't or if you go to

1038
00:48:47,839 --> 00:48:51,640
suar County this judge can or if you go

1039
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:55,840
to Knox County this judge can't so

1040
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,440
you're only going to be denied bail

1041
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,319
based on what county you're in and how

1042
00:49:01,319 --> 00:49:04,400
they see fit based on this crime versus

1043
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:08,790
our current system now allows judges to

1044
00:49:08,790 --> 00:49:10,400
set a high enough bail for their most

1045
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,559
serious crimes so it creates an inequity

1046
00:49:13,559 --> 00:49:17,240
in our justice system again there is not

1047
00:49:17,240 --> 00:49:21,359
one state in this country that has this

1048
00:49:21,359 --> 00:49:24,839
not one we are going to be forced to put

1049
00:49:24,839 --> 00:49:28,439
millions of dollars into building new

1050
00:49:30,790 --> 00:49:32,400
jails we're supposed to be a state that

1051
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,280
holds people accountable but not [ __ ]

1052
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,880
taxpayers with constantly using our

1053
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:39,920
money to build more

1054
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,680
prisons so while I understand we all

1055
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,160
care about Public Safety trust me I care

1056
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,680
just like many of all of you but denying

1057
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,640
bail for 73 crimes and not giving voters

1058
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:55,760
the truth behind what all the crimes are

1059
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,359
to me is a disservice to the voters who

1060
00:49:58,359 --> 00:49:59,640
will be voting on this piece of

1061
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,319
legislation it's a disservice to the

1062
00:50:02,319 --> 00:50:04,359
voters because it's not telling them the

1063
00:50:04,359 --> 00:50:07,959
accurate costs and the consequences and

1064
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,119
once you do this and you see that it's

1065
00:50:11,119 --> 00:50:12,240
not going to

1066
00:50:12,240 --> 00:50:15,559
work it's going to take a lot to undo

1067
00:50:15,559 --> 00:50:17,790
the mistakes that we could potentially

1068
00:50:17,790 --> 00:50:19,400
be making with this piece of legislation

1069
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,240
I appreciate my colleagues listening

1070
00:50:21,240 --> 00:50:24,640
thank you Mr speaker thank you chairman

1071
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,640
Lamar further discussion

1072
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,480
is there objection to the

1073
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,480
question I see none without

1074
00:50:32,720 --> 00:50:35,880
objection I'll ask Senator John Johnson

1075
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,440
to close leader Johnson to close excuse

1076
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,359
me thank you Mr Speaker and thank you

1077
00:50:40,359 --> 00:50:42,000
members for the uh for the for the

1078
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,280
discussion couple of final points here I

1079
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,240
I I respect and appreciate the

1080
00:50:47,240 --> 00:50:48,960
conversation and several members brought

1081
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,559
up the the the issue of

1082
00:50:51,559 --> 00:50:54,160
cost members our number one job up here

1083
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:58,119
is Public Safety it is Public Safety and

1084
00:50:58,119 --> 00:51:00,240
it is to equip our court systems with

1085
00:51:00,240 --> 00:51:02,440
the tools they need to keep our communi

1086
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,880
safe and unfortunately they don't have

1087
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,119
those tools right now or all that they

1088
00:51:07,119 --> 00:51:09,799
need they're hamstrung by the

1089
00:51:09,799 --> 00:51:12,160
Constitution when the Constitution was

1090
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,160
first ratified in

1091
00:51:14,240 --> 00:51:17,319
1796 it did have this language but you

1092
00:51:17,319 --> 00:51:20,400
know what stealing a horse was a capital

1093
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,160
offense there were other capital

1094
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,839
offenses that were recognized as capital

1095
00:51:24,839 --> 00:51:26,839
offenses but today

1096
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,200
because the Supreme Court has ruled that

1097
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,119
the only capital offense is first-degree

1098
00:51:31,119 --> 00:51:33,200
murder because of the language in our

1099
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,559
constitution our judges hands are tied

1100
00:51:36,559 --> 00:51:39,790
and they can't deny bail to those most

1101
00:51:39,790 --> 00:51:41,790
violent of

1102
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,839
criminals now if you look at the data

1103
00:51:43,839 --> 00:51:46,200
and I have and people a lot smarter than

1104
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:48,720
me have studied this issue and I'm sure

1105
00:51:48,720 --> 00:51:50,200
many of you have seen some of the data

1106
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,600
as well actually don't

1107
00:51:53,319 --> 00:51:55,880
anticipate thankfully that many more

1108
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,400
people to be incarcerated pre-trial

1109
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,400
because of denial of bail thankfully

1110
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,240
there aren't that many crimes they do

1111
00:52:03,240 --> 00:52:05,319
happen but this is not going to lead

1112
00:52:05,319 --> 00:52:08,790
lead to a massive overrun of our jails

1113
00:52:08,790 --> 00:52:10,119
who runs our jails in the state of

1114
00:52:10,119 --> 00:52:13,719
Tennessee judges no our Sheriff's do

1115
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,160
guess who endorses this amendment guess

1116
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,790
who endorses in addition to our district

1117
00:52:19,790 --> 00:52:21,790
attorneys the sheriff's

1118
00:52:21,359 --> 00:52:23,280
Association they believe the juice is

1119
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,720
worth a squeeze if it means they have to

1120
00:52:25,720 --> 00:52:27,839
put a few more people in their jails to

1121
00:52:27,839 --> 00:52:29,920
keep them from reoffending and harming

1122
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:31,920
our fellow citizens they think it's

1123
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,799
worth it but I will say I'm part of the

1124
00:52:34,799 --> 00:52:37,400
budget discussions up here every year if

1125
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:38,640
we end up having to appropriate some

1126
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,440
more money then let's do it we will but

1127
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,119
let's satisfy that number one

1128
00:52:43,119 --> 00:52:45,359
responsibility we have as members of

1129
00:52:45,359 --> 00:52:47,319
this general assembly and that is to

1130
00:52:47,319 --> 00:52:49,880
keep our communi safe and to empower our

1131
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:51,280
partners and law enforcement the

1132
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,119
district attorneys and our judicial

1133
00:52:53,119 --> 00:52:55,240
system with the tools that they need

1134
00:52:55,240 --> 00:52:58,799
right now their hands are tied

1135
00:52:58,799 --> 00:53:00,599
another point that was made which I

1136
00:53:00,599 --> 00:53:02,520
think is fairly insulting to the people

1137
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,160
of Tennessee is that they won't

1138
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,520
understand this amendment I believe they

1139
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,520
will I believe that the people of

1140
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,790
Tennessee are smart enough to read this

1141
00:53:11,790 --> 00:53:12,960
amendment and understand it read the

1142
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,200
language understand what it means and I

1143
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:17,240
believe when they do fully understand it

1144
00:53:17,240 --> 00:53:19,400
they will overwhelmingly ratify this

1145
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,319
amendment and that's how our process

1146
00:53:21,319 --> 00:53:24,000
works members I'm asking you to vote for

1147
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:25,920
this resolution we're not going to amend

1148
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:27,680
our constit ution today you know what

1149
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:29,319
we're going to do we're going to let our

1150
00:53:29,319 --> 00:53:31,119
constituents the people of Tennessee

1151
00:53:31,119 --> 00:53:33,119
decide if they want our judges to be

1152
00:53:33,119 --> 00:53:35,790
empowered to keep these most violent of

1153
00:53:35,790 --> 00:53:37,359
violent people off the streets when

1154
00:53:37,359 --> 00:53:39,319
they're convicted or rather when they're

1155
00:53:39,319 --> 00:53:41,839
charged with a crime pre-trial that's

1156
00:53:41,839 --> 00:53:43,359
it's that simple that's what Senate

1157
00:53:43,359 --> 00:53:45,920
joint resolution 25 does I'd be grateful

1158
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,160

Senator Taylor on the bill thank you

1185
00:55:01,720 --> 00:55:03,559
thank you Mr Speaker this bill comes to

1186
00:55:03,559 --> 00:55:05,839
us from the comp Controllers Office and

1187
00:55:05,839 --> 00:55:08,280
basically what this bill will do is it

1188
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,559
will mandate that the comp controllers

1189
00:55:10,559 --> 00:55:12,520
will provide approval for local

1190
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,240
governments that issue high-risk debt

1191
00:55:15,240 --> 00:55:18,790
and it reclassifies certain debt to be

1192
00:55:18,790 --> 00:55:21,200
included in the high-risk category it

1193
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,839
also um adds Municipal energy

1194
00:55:23,839 --> 00:55:25,720
authorities to the definition of local

1195
00:55:25,720 --> 00:55:27,640
governments uh for the purposes of this

1196
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,760
bill and then lastly this bill updates

1197
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,200
the law to exclude certain federal

1198
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,960
lending programs for from the balloon

1199
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,390
indebtedness so basically this will

1200
00:55:38,390 --> 00:55:41,359
allow government to work better by uh

1201
00:55:41,359 --> 00:55:43,880
requiring local governments who want to

1202
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,640
issue high-risk debt to get uh approval

1203
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:48,359
from the com controller's office in in

1204
00:55:48,359 --> 00:55:50,559

on the bill Senator

1255
00:58:10,559 --> 00:58:13,390
Taylor thank you Mr Speaker this bill

1256
00:58:13,390 --> 00:58:14,920
comes to us from the University of

1257
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:18,359
Memphis and uh years ago athletic

1258
00:58:18,359 --> 00:58:20,760
trainers were allowed to engage in the

1259
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:24,280
practice of uh dry needling for their

1260
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,559
athletes fast forward if you years it

1261
00:58:26,559 --> 00:58:28,200
was an attorney general's opinion that

1262
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:30,760
ultimately said that um that dry

1263
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:33,119
needling was beyond the scope of

1264
00:58:33,119 --> 00:58:35,000
athletic trainers so what we're

1265
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,480
attempting to do uh with this bill Mr

1266
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:40,359
Speaker is to bring athletic trainers

1267
00:58:40,359 --> 00:58:42,760
into the same category with physical

1268
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:44,799
therapists and occupational therapist as

1269
00:58:44,799 --> 00:58:47,390
it relates to dry needling this bill

1270
00:58:47,390 --> 00:58:48,640
will require that board of athletic

1271
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:52,200
trainers to to develop uh comp

1272
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:54,390
competency requirements and minimum

1273
00:58:54,390 --> 00:58:56,160
standards and it will also approve what

1274
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,720
schools will uh be engaged in uh

1275
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,400
teaching uh dry needling for the

1276
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:03,160
continuing education and that's

1277
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,390
basically what this bill does is giving

1278
00:59:05,390 --> 00:59:06,880
athletic trainers the ability to do what

1279
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,160
they once could do as it relates to dry

1280
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,880
needling thank you Mr Speaker discussion

1281
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:12,880

1282
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:16,390

01:08:43,799 --> 01:08:47,999
hotel collects the lodging tax for uh

1499
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:51,640
people who are staying in that hotel if

1500
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:55,000
it's less than 30 days then the hotel

1501
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,480
operator has to refund that lodging tax

1502
01:08:57,480 --> 01:09:00,159
back to the customer if they stay Beyond

1503
01:09:00,159 --> 01:09:02,359
30 days because it's an extended stay

1504
01:09:02,359 --> 01:09:04,759
hotel they don't pay any lodging tax at

1505
01:09:04,759 --> 01:09:08,359
all this bill will basically allow

1506
01:09:08,440 --> 01:09:11,440

1507
01:09:11,440 --> 01:09:15,239

unchanged what happens after day 31

1510
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:21,440
which is that uh they get to stay

1511
01:09:21,440 --> 01:09:23,640
without a tax that's basically what this

1512
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:25,359
will do and it will allow the municipal

1513
01:09:25,359 --> 01:09:27,560

1886
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:28,800
Senator Kyle you're recognized thank you

1887
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:29,920
Mr Speaker I'd like to put my comments

1888
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:32,400
on the record I think um the sponsors

1889
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:36,000
well aware um this particular situation

1890
01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:38,800
has been on the front page of our news

1891
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:41,960
leading stories down there in Shelby

1892
01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:44,440
County for quite some time it was

1893
01:26:44,440 --> 01:26:46,679
between the sheriff and the juvenile

1894
01:26:46,679 --> 01:26:47,840
court

1895
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:51,440
judge on transporting juveniles where to

1896
01:26:51,679 --> 01:26:54,320
hold the court or where Court can be be

1897
01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:55,520
held for these

1898
01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:58,440
juveniles I think that this bill would

1899
01:26:58,440 --> 01:27:01,320
tip the scales of justice and as long as

1900
01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:04,280
that lawsuit is going on I think that

1901
01:27:04,280 --> 01:27:07,119
this is premature to bring this bill

1902
01:27:07,119 --> 01:27:09,560
because I would hate for this body to be

1903
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:13,520
accused of tipping the scales uh and a

1904
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:16,280
ongoing piece of legislation I do not

1905
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:18,280
want want to

1906
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:22,520
uh infringe on what the sponsor wants to

1907
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:25,840
do but I think we need to be aware that

1908
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:28,159
this is presently in the

1909
01:27:28,159 --> 01:27:31,800
courts thank you thank you Senator Kyle

1910
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:34,200

1911
01:27:34,719 --> 01:27:37,639

second on Amendment any discussion on

2076
01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:33,440
the

2077
01:35:33,440 --> 01:35:35,679
amendment Senator Briggs you're

2078
01:35:35,679 --> 01:35:38,600
recognized uh does the sponsor yield

2079
01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:41,400
sponsor of the amendment or of the

2080
01:35:41,400 --> 01:35:43,440
bill well I think I'll better direct it

2081
01:35:43,440 --> 01:35:46,119
to the bill sponsor to the bill sponsor

2082
01:35:46,119 --> 01:35:48,800
since the amendment makes the bill she

2083
01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:50,639
she yields you're recognized Senator BR

2084
01:35:50,639 --> 01:35:54,600
the question I had is the it mentioned

2085
01:35:54,600 --> 01:35:57,520
the boards that will be form formulating

2086
01:35:57,520 --> 01:35:59,880
this course now these are national

2087
01:35:59,880 --> 01:36:01,920
boards other than the Tennessee Board of

2088
01:36:01,920 --> 01:36:05,000
medical examiners and uh I guess my

2089
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:08,320
question is what Authority do we in the

2090
01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:10,960
Tennessee legislature have to dictate

2091
01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:13,440
what a national board uh what a national

2092
01:36:13,440 --> 01:36:17,400
board does CH Lamar you're recognized

2093
01:36:17,119 --> 01:36:19,719
thank you Mr Speaker what this bill does

2094
01:36:19,719 --> 01:36:21,360
is the Department of Health already has

2095
01:36:21,360 --> 01:36:23,840
a course on maternal mental health there

2096
01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:26,119
will offer this course and give it to

2097
01:36:26,119 --> 01:36:28,360
them so that if you are one of the

2098
01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:30,480
professionals listic it's one of the

2099
01:36:30,480 --> 01:36:33,000
courses you can choose from for your

2100
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:35,400
continuing education credit so it's not

2101
01:36:35,400 --> 01:36:37,480
mandating it's just adding to the list

2102
01:36:37,480 --> 01:36:39,440
of courses you could choose from for

2103
01:36:39,440 --> 01:36:42,119
your CTE credits Senator Briggs you

2104
01:36:42,119 --> 01:36:43,880
recognized uh does the sponsor yield

2105
01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:47,239
again sponsor yields uh okay so this is

2106
01:36:47,239 --> 01:36:50,639
not going to be mandatory presently

2107
01:36:50,639 --> 01:36:54,400
every physician has to do two hours

2108
01:36:54,400 --> 01:36:55,560
of

2109
01:36:55,560 --> 01:36:59,119
CMEs on opiate issues because of the

2110
01:36:59,119 --> 01:37:01,600
opiate crisis we've had that's mandatory

2111
01:37:01,600 --> 01:37:04,239
for your license this is not a mandatory

2112
01:37:04,239 --> 01:37:05,920

question just a comment I just think we

2120
01:37:21,960 --> 01:37:23,520
should leave it up to the various board

2121
01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:26,840
boards to determine what type CME they

2122
01:37:26,840 --> 01:37:29,719
feel like their various uh members need

2123
01:37:29,719 --> 01:37:32,119

speaker that govern the interest rate on

SE uh second mortgages or what we would

2385
01:50:04,639 --> 01:50:07,159
refer to in the statute as subordinate

2386
01:50:07,159 --> 01:50:10,679
Mor mortgages as well uh one of the

2387
01:50:10,679 --> 01:50:13,599
indexes uh this bill will change one of

2388
01:50:13,599 --> 01:50:17,719
those indexes uh and replace the 30-year

2389
01:50:17,719 --> 01:50:21,119
treasury yeld with a more uh modern uh

2390
01:50:21,119 --> 01:50:24,719
index the average prime rate offer

2391
01:50:24,840 --> 01:50:28,560

from the the

2394
01:50:35,280 --> 01:50:38,560
the the commissioner of financial excuse

2395
01:50:38,560 --> 01:50:40,719
me the commissioner of financial

2396
01:50:40,719 --> 01:50:43,000
institutions all but I must say even

2397
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:44,000
though they have helped us with the

2398
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:46,159
language in the bill they are deferred

2399
01:50:46,159 --> 01:50:49,719
on the bill uh what this bill does by

2400
01:50:49,719 --> 01:50:53,679
conforming to a more uh modern uh index

2401
01:50:53,679 --> 01:50:57,879
it expands the opportunity for folks to

2402
01:50:57,920 --> 01:51:02,159
uh have an uh uh a chance to have

2403
01:51:02,159 --> 01:51:05,239
perhaps have a subordinate loan a a home

2404
01:51:05,239 --> 01:51:07,239
equity loan for example which is

2405
01:51:07,239 --> 01:51:10,119
becoming popular among senior citizens

2406
01:51:10,119 --> 01:51:13,639
uh and it uh uh it it is restricted in

2407
01:51:13,639 --> 01:51:17,199
that it would have to it applies only to

2408
01:51:17,199 --> 01:51:21,399
mortgages that are in excess of 15 years

2409
01:51:21,599 --> 01:51:25,400
uh and I would I think it is really good

2410
01:51:25,400 --> 01:51:27,360
uh for the economy that that we make

2411
01:51:27,360 --> 01:51:30,239

Speaker referenced to Second mortgages

2418
01:51:50,639 --> 01:51:53,599
and subordinate loans but as

2419
01:51:53,599 --> 01:51:56,000
as I read the statute this would it

2420
01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:59,480
applies to any home loan which means any

2421
01:51:59,480 --> 01:52:02,159
any loan that's secured by real estate

2422
01:52:02,159 --> 01:52:03,280
owned and

2423
01:52:03,280 --> 01:52:06,280
occupied for residential purposes that's

2424
01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:08,719
you know over 15 so typically it's the

2425
01:52:08,719 --> 01:52:13,519
15 and 30-year mortgage uh is is is that

2426
01:52:14,400 --> 01:52:16,880
correct Senator Jager you're right thank

2427
01:52:16,880 --> 01:52:19,360
you the bill says I'm looking at Section

2428
01:52:19,360 --> 01:52:22,790
1 a which what you may be referencing it

2429
01:52:22,790 --> 01:52:25,360
reference is home loans in the uh at

2430
01:52:25,360 --> 01:52:27,960
that in that paragraph there and it was

2431
01:52:27,960 --> 01:52:30,760
my reference to the home equity type

2432
01:52:30,760 --> 01:52:32,760
loans Senator

2433
01:52:32,800 --> 01:52:37,000
Ybor uh thank you Mr Speaker and

2434
01:52:38,119 --> 01:52:42,280
does so I looked the so the commissioner

2435
01:52:42,280 --> 01:52:44,440
of financial institutions publishes I

2436
01:52:44,440 --> 01:52:47,599
think every week pursuing to this

2437
01:52:47,599 --> 01:52:51,199
statute what the the maximum mortgage

2438
01:52:51,800 --> 01:52:53,400
rate

2439
01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:55,560
that Tennessee you know people that

2440
01:52:55,560 --> 01:52:58,800
issuing mortgages in Tennessee can issue

2441
01:52:58,800 --> 01:53:01,800
right now that's set at

2442
01:53:02,760 --> 01:53:06,199
88.5% the one that we would be

2443
01:53:06,199 --> 01:53:09,480
adopting which is the what is the rate

2444
01:53:09,480 --> 01:53:11,760
that we use for all other for other

2445
01:53:11,760 --> 01:53:14,400
loans and it's also published on the

2446
01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:15,840
site and that's

2447
01:53:15,840 --> 01:53:17,840
11.5%

2448
01:53:18,480 --> 01:53:23,719
today uh and I am I I am I'm at least

2449
01:53:23,719 --> 01:53:27,199
hesitant Mr Speaker to uh to do

2450
01:53:27,199 --> 01:53:30,799
something that opens door for mortgage

2451
01:53:31,400 --> 01:53:33,920
rates in the state to be three

2452
01:53:33,920 --> 01:53:35,920
percentage points higher than what they

2453
01:53:35,920 --> 01:53:38,520
are currently so when you think about

2454
01:53:38,520 --> 01:53:41,400
three three points on a 30 or 15 or 30-y

2455
01:53:41,400 --> 01:53:44,199
year mortgage that's that's that's real

2456
01:53:44,199 --> 01:53:47,440
money Mr Speaker that is uh that's the

2457
01:53:47,440 --> 01:53:48,639
difference between people being able to

2458
01:53:48,639 --> 01:53:52,719
afford houses and not and uh we are are

2459
01:53:52,719 --> 01:53:55,000
cautious about doing things that affect

2460
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:58,280
cost here people's homeowners cost and I

2461
01:53:58,280 --> 01:54:02,360
am I'm at least worried that that we are

2462
01:54:02,360 --> 01:54:04,840
we are opening the door to to a rate

2463
01:54:04,840 --> 01:54:07,280
that doesn't actually reflect the needs

2464
01:54:07,280 --> 01:54:11,560
here uh the the current rate as it's

2465
01:54:11,560 --> 01:54:14,960
set is I mean the more the current

2466
01:54:14,960 --> 01:54:18,119
market rate in Tennesse for what you can

2467
01:54:18,119 --> 01:54:20,840
get with good credit is under

2468
01:54:20,840 --> 01:54:24,400
7% the one that but the maximum is about

2469
01:54:24,400 --> 01:54:26,800
two points higher so there's still room

2470
01:54:26,800 --> 01:54:28,719
for the market to have higher rates for

2471
01:54:28,719 --> 01:54:31,119
people with less good

2472
01:54:31,400 --> 01:54:34,599
credit but the difference between having

2473
01:54:34,599 --> 01:54:37,280
a maximum set at 8.5 and a maximum set

2474
01:54:37,280 --> 01:54:38,239
at

2475
01:54:38,239 --> 01:54:43,390
11.5 is a big difference and I I'm I'm

2476
01:54:43,199 --> 01:54:45,440
hesitant to do that today Mr Speaker and

2477
01:54:45,440 --> 01:54:47,920
want to at least Express that caution to

2478
01:54:47,920 --> 01:54:49,800
the body that we should be careful

2479
01:54:49,800 --> 01:54:51,719
before doing something that that could

2480
01:54:51,719 --> 01:54:54,000
lead to people paying higher mortgage

2481
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:56,760
cost thank you Senator yor Senator

2482
01:54:56,760 --> 01:54:59,159
Oliver you're recognized thank you Mr

2483
01:54:59,159 --> 01:55:01,760
Speaker and um I want to Echo my

2484
01:55:01,760 --> 01:55:04,520
colleagues sentiments and points that

2485
01:55:04,520 --> 01:55:07,800
were raised um regarding interest rates

2486
01:55:07,800 --> 01:55:11,800
in Tennessee um I I find it very

2487
01:55:11,800 --> 01:55:13,880
concerning even though we may phrase

2488
01:55:13,880 --> 01:55:15,599
this bill as a cleanup bill in the

2489
01:55:15,599 --> 01:55:18,960
statute but in reality what this bill

2490
01:55:18,960 --> 01:55:20,880
could do is have really unintended

2491
01:55:20,880 --> 01:55:23,800
consequences in lifting up up um and

2492
01:55:23,800 --> 01:55:26,199
raising the interest rates for people

2493
01:55:26,199 --> 01:55:28,840
who already feel particularly folks in

2494
01:55:28,840 --> 01:55:31,119
my district and Davidson County you

2495
01:55:31,119 --> 01:55:32,840
already feel that home ownership is Out

2496
01:55:32,840 --> 01:55:36,560
Of Reach um because of the rising cost

2497
01:55:36,560 --> 01:55:41,679
of housing right now and so it this puts

2498
01:55:41,679 --> 01:55:44,440
a significant burden where these where

2499
01:55:44,440 --> 01:55:46,639
these interest rates to go up to double

2500
01:55:46,639 --> 01:55:49,119
digits it puts a significant burden on

2501
01:55:49,119 --> 01:55:51,639
families trying to purchase a home in

2502
01:55:51,639 --> 01:55:53,199
Tennessee

2503
01:55:53,199 --> 01:55:56,790
so I just want to raise that concern

2504
01:55:56,790 --> 01:55:59,480
that for large counties in Tennessee uh

2505
01:55:59,480 --> 01:56:02,790
housing is a true problem affordability

2506
01:56:02,790 --> 01:56:05,159
is a problem and this could lead to

2507
01:56:05,159 --> 01:56:07,480
really unintended consequences to have

2508
01:56:07,480 --> 01:56:10,480
mortgage rates in double digits up to

2509
01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:13,360
11.5% we haven't seen those rates in 30

2510
01:56:13,360 --> 01:56:17,320
years in this state since 1994 so uh I

2511
01:56:17,320 --> 01:56:19,920
just want to raise that caution and that

2512
01:56:19,920 --> 01:56:21,280
and I don't think I can support this

2513
01:56:21,280 --> 01:56:22,599
Bill thank you Mr speak thank you

2514
01:56:22,599 --> 01:56:23,679
Senator

2515
01:56:23,679 --> 01:56:26,199
Oliver any Senator joerger you

2516
01:56:26,199 --> 01:56:28,639
recognized thank you Mr Speaker I

2517
01:56:28,639 --> 01:56:32,239
appreciate the input from my colleagues

2518
01:56:33,159 --> 01:56:35,159
in the Senate and I would be hastened to

2519
01:56:35,159 --> 01:56:38,000
add that the market does fluctuate I

2520
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:39,760
would not expect the rate to be that

2521
01:56:39,760 --> 01:56:42,320
high at tall for example we put our file

2522
01:56:42,320 --> 01:56:43,840
together just a few days ago the rate

2523
01:56:43,840 --> 01:56:45,119
was

2524
01:56:45,119 --> 01:56:49,400
7.5% it fluctuates daily and the we are

2525
01:56:49,400 --> 01:56:52,760
only and the rate is affected by uh

2526
01:56:52,760 --> 01:56:55,320
multiple indices and we are changing one

2527
01:56:55,320 --> 01:56:57,840
of those indices to make it more current

2528
01:56:57,840 --> 01:56:59,280
which on the recommendation of the

2529
01:56:59,280 --> 01:57:03,880
mortgage banking industry uh and to I I

2530
01:57:03,880 --> 01:57:06,719
think to suggest the astronomical

2531
01:57:06,719 --> 01:57:08,840
increase that my colleagues have

2532
01:57:08,840 --> 01:57:10,840
suggested is uh

2533
01:57:12,790 --> 01:57:16,400
U uh I I I don't think that comports

2534
01:57:16,400 --> 01:57:18,400
with the facts that as I know them and

2535
01:57:18,400 --> 01:57:21,159
which I have presented to this body uh I

2536
01:57:21,159 --> 01:57:23,960
what I do know is that this will make

2537
01:57:23,960 --> 01:57:27,560
this of subordinate loans more available

2538
01:57:28,320 --> 01:57:31,790
to people in Tennessee for things like a

2539
01:57:31,790 --> 01:57:33,760
a second mortgage on the house uh for

2540
01:57:33,760 --> 01:57:37,159
home equity a home equity loan okay

2541
01:57:37,159 --> 01:57:39,159

question to the sponsor is currently

what's the prime rate now and if your

2546
01:57:51,760 --> 01:57:55,790
bill passes with the 4% increase what

2547
01:57:55,790 --> 01:57:59,400

01:58:06,960 --> 01:58:08,480
prepared the file but that was March

2551
01:58:08,480 --> 01:58:10,920
11th and we're checking now to find the

2552
01:58:10,920 --> 01:58:13,320
answer for the the

2553
01:58:13,480 --> 01:58:15,480

8.5% of the

2558
01:58:29,320 --> 01:58:32,280
annual if I'm not mistaken with his

2559
01:58:32,280 --> 01:58:35,719
legislation it will be a fourpoint jump

2560
01:58:35,719 --> 01:58:37,719
from increase from

2561
01:58:40,639 --> 01:58:43,800
8.56 that's a lot of money and when we

2562
01:58:43,800 --> 01:58:44,760
thinking

2563
01:58:44,760 --> 01:58:48,520
about folks who are trying to buy homes

2564
01:58:48,520 --> 01:58:52,560
a four point increase in that rate will

2565
01:58:52,560 --> 01:58:55,560
make it unaffordable for people to buy

2566
01:58:55,560 --> 01:58:59,760
homes currently so my suggestion is that

2567
01:59:00,790 --> 01:59:02,840
we don't do this we want to encourage

2568
01:59:02,840 --> 01:59:05,560
home ownership in Tennessee and this

2569
01:59:05,560 --> 01:59:07,440
bill will make it harder for people to

2570
01:59:07,440 --> 01:59:10,920
afford to buy homes thank you thank you

2571
01:59:10,920 --> 01:59:13,920
Senator Lamar any additional questions

2572
01:59:14,880 --> 01:59:16,880
discussion for this

2573
01:59:17,239 --> 01:59:19,639
chair chairman joerger you're

2574
01:59:20,159 --> 01:59:22,159
recognized s senator

2575
01:59:24,199 --> 01:59:26,639
Roberts thank you Mr Speaker if the

2576
01:59:26,639 --> 01:59:27,960
sponsor would yield for a question

2577
01:59:27,960 --> 01:59:31,119
please sponsor yields I may have missed

2578
01:59:31,119 --> 01:59:32,760
this and you may have given an answer to

2579
01:59:32,760 --> 01:59:35,639
it before but but if we're replacing the

2580
01:59:35,639 --> 01:59:37,480
30-year treasury

2581
01:59:37,480 --> 01:59:40,440
yield uh as the index that we're using

2582
01:59:40,440 --> 01:59:43,599
and replacing it with a 30e average

2583
01:59:43,599 --> 01:59:47,960
Prime offer rate um which one of those

2584
01:59:47,960 --> 01:59:51,000
today is higher than the other and by

2585
01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:53,000
how much

2586
01:59:53,800 --> 01:59:55,800
chairman Jer

2587
01:59:56,840 --> 02:00:00,560
I the average Prime offer rate is I

2588
02:00:00,560 --> 02:00:02,560
don't believe that I said that it was at

2589
02:00:02,560 --> 02:00:07,400
30 uh uh was at the same rate that the

2590
02:00:07,400 --> 02:00:10,000
uh current 30-year treasury yield would

2591
02:00:10,000 --> 02:00:12,719
be uh the the lower of the two they

2592
02:00:12,719 --> 02:00:14,280
would be close but the lower of the two

2593
02:00:14,280 --> 02:00:16,199
would be the current rate the average

2594
02:00:16,199 --> 02:00:19,199
prime rate Senator Roberts you

2595
02:00:20,320 --> 02:00:23,400
recognized thank you Mr speaker I'm uh

2596
02:00:23,400 --> 02:00:25,119
what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to

2597
02:00:25,119 --> 02:00:26,400
understand because when you look at the

2598
02:00:26,400 --> 02:00:27,280
bill

2599
02:00:27,280 --> 02:00:29,440
itself and you look at the redline

2600
02:00:29,440 --> 02:00:32,239
version of the bill it says the maximum

2601
02:00:32,239 --> 02:00:35,000
effective rate of interest perom is set

2602
02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:38,679
an amount equal and it crosses out two

2603
02:00:38,679 --> 02:00:40,599
percentage points and replaces it with

2604
02:00:40,599 --> 02:00:42,199
four percentage

2605
02:00:42,199 --> 02:00:46,159
points and then it also changes the

2606
02:00:46,159 --> 02:00:48,880
basis that those points are added to so

2607
02:00:48,880 --> 02:00:50,480
in other words we go

2608
02:00:50,480 --> 02:00:52,480
from having

2609
02:00:52,560 --> 02:00:53,599
the

2610
02:00:53,599 --> 02:00:55,999
30-year treasury yield plus

2611
02:00:56,280 --> 02:01:00,400
two to the 30e average Prime offer rate

2612
02:01:00,400 --> 02:01:03,400
plus four and I'm just trying to

2613
02:01:03,400 --> 02:01:04,360
understand what the difference is

2614
02:01:04,360 --> 02:01:08,480
between those two because that you know

2615
02:01:08,480 --> 02:01:10,159
that's obviously going to be a

2616
02:01:10,159 --> 02:01:13,360
significant amount of money to somebody

2617
02:01:13,360 --> 02:01:15,790
so I'm just trying to understand what

2618
02:01:15,790 --> 02:01:19,719
this Baseline is and how it how how it's

2619
02:01:19,719 --> 02:01:22,719
different Senator Watson your Rec

2620
02:01:23,719 --> 02:01:27,319
recognized thank you Mr Speaker members

2621
02:01:27,679 --> 02:01:30,679
um this has become confusing to members

2622
02:01:30,679 --> 02:01:32,880
and if the sponsor would uh so that we

2623
02:01:32,880 --> 02:01:35,639
can get a a little bit more time to

2624
02:01:35,639 --> 02:01:36,880
understand exactly what's happening here

2625
02:01:36,880 --> 02:01:40,280
if the sponsor would roll this to

2626
02:01:40,280 --> 02:01:42,920
Thursday cator Jagger you're happy to do

2627
02:01:42,920 --> 02:01:44,239
that because we want to make sure

2628
02:01:44,239 --> 02:01:45,960
everybody has a clear understanding the

2629
02:01:45,960 --> 02:01:48,280
bill so I'm very happy to do that that

2630
02:01:48,280 --> 02:01:50,280
objection Thursday next

2631
02:01:52,480 --> 02:01:54,480
Senator low you're

2632
02:01:54,760 --> 02:01:57,440
recognized thank you Mr Speaker uh can I

2633
02:01:57,440 --> 02:01:59,480
be recognized out of

2634
02:01:59,480 --> 02:02:02,480
order that objection you're recognized

2635
02:02:02,599 --> 02:02:04,960
Mr Speaker uh Senate Bill 318 was

2636
02:02:04,960 --> 02:02:06,679
introduced and enacted the Tennessee

2637
02:02:06,679 --> 02:02:08,520
genomic security and IND Orting

2638
02:02:08,520 --> 02:02:11,480
harvesting act and organ harvesting act

2639
02:02:11,480 --> 02:02:13,280
uh Mr Speaker this bill was both on the

2640
02:02:13,280 --> 02:02:14,920
Senate and the house house calendar on

2641
02:02:14,920 --> 02:02:17,199
Monday the house transmitted a message

2642
02:02:17,199 --> 02:02:19,560
with the wrong house bill number after

2643
02:02:19,560 --> 02:02:21,400
it passed as a result the Senate did not

2644
02:02:21,400 --> 02:02:23,320
have the opport Unity to conform and

2645
02:02:23,320 --> 02:02:26,400
substitute to that house bill therefore

2646
02:02:26,400 --> 02:02:28,000
uh the Senate needs to cure this error

2647
02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:30,159
by reconsidering the passage of the bill

2648
02:02:30,159 --> 02:02:32,119
