  1. Thank you Richard. The link to the bill is http://www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/108/Bill/SB1091.pdf

    We need a member of the Tennessee house to sponsor the bill as well, or else it will go nowhere. This is the list of all Tennessee House members

    The bill is a bit confusing, but I think Senator Kyle is headed in the right direction. Send him an email thanking him for introducing the bill sen.jim.kyle@capitol.tn.gov
