PARENTAL RIGHTS
There were 3 parental rights bills we were watching. Essentially,
only 1 still stands:
HB2936 by Faison / (SB2749 by Haile)
As introduced, enacts the “Families’ Rights and Responsibilities Act."
House K-12 Subcommittee for 3/19/2024
Senate Education Committee calendar for 3/20/2024
JUST ADDED:
MEMBERS OF ALLIANCE DEFENDING FREEDOM TO DISCUSS THE PARENTAL RIGHTS BILL ON 3/20 AT OUR LEGISLATIVE DAY
IMMIGRATION-RELATED
Education - As introduced, requires the department of education to contract with the TCAP test provider to offer students who receive language assistance services in the classroom the same language assistance services during the administration of a TCAP test. - Amends TCA Title 49.
This bill is clearly an attempt to further use taxpayer funds to support students that in our state/country illegally. Encourage writing the committee to oppose this legislation.

OBSCENITY & HUMAN RIGHTS
HB2159 by Barrett / (SB2041 by Rose)
As introduced, specifies that a person or entity that produces, sells, sends, or distributes obscene matter in violation of state law may be held civilly liable for damages to an injured party.
House Floor - PASSED
Senate Judiciary Committee - CALL TO ACTION
Ask the Committee to move the bill forward. This has BEEN SITTING SINCE JANUARY IN THE SENATE.
HB1891 by Lamberth / (SB2097 by Johnson)
As introduced, creates the "Protecting Children from Social Media Act."
Awaiting dates for both Senate and House full vote.
FUNDING & CONCERNS
All of the bills we had listed as areas of concern in this arena: FAILED!
This is not to say that we caught them all, or that there aren't concerning bills still "alive", but thus far, our major concerns have been answered in all other arenas despite what was mentioned above.

Beware the Amendments
We are in full swing on the amendments stage of the session. Many bills were amended, perhaps even rewritten. Every statement of support fo bill as we have moved through the session carries the qualifier "in its current form".
Do you have time and energy? Please volunteer to help our legislative team track (chase) down amendments.
