HB0866 was passed by the TN House Education Committee last week with a great deal of support. The Senate version of the bill, SB1146, was also passed by the Education Committee. I have not heard when the bills will be voted upon by the full House and Senate, but I will be sure to share the date when I have it!
Many thanks to those who spread the word about this bill, and those provided direct support through letters and phone calls to committee members! I would like to give a special thanks to those who were able to represent our community at Legislative Plaza. I so wish that I could have been there with you!
