Once more into the breach...
HB0581 cleared the House Finance Subcommittee and is now on the agenda for a full House Finance Committee vote
next week!
We now need to call and email Chairman Sargent and each one of the House Finanace Committee members and ask them to please vote YES on HB0581.
According to the legislative analysis, HB0581 has "no significant fiscal impact" on the state of Tennessee and therefore there is no reason why the Finance Committee shouldn't pass this bill. However, it still received 5 NO votes in the sub-committee! That is a dangerous message to the full Committee.
Please be sure to contact everyone on this list, then get your friends, family and anyone else you know to call and email also!!!
When calling and writing, simply ask them to vote in favor of HB0581, remind them that the legislative analysis says it has "no significant fiscal impact", and you could also remind them that SB1015, the companion bill in the Tennessee Senate, has already passed 27-3. Keep your calls and emails POLITE, short and to the point.
Here's the contact information for everyone we need to inundate with calls and emails. Let's have them come in Monday morning to full in boxes!
