The session started with 82 House bills and 86 Senate bills, but House and Senate leadership pieced together the different bills to make an omnibus bill — HB9077/SB9014.
After an intense three days, the House and Senate adjourned at approximately 1:38 a.m. Saturday morning having passed wide-ranging COVID-related legislation.
Although publicly opposed by the Greater Memphis Chamber, the Tennessee Chamber, NFIB, and almost 30 other business trade associations, HB9077/SB9014 is headed to Gov. Bill Lee for his consideration. Gov. Lee recently noted he is “evaluating each piece of legislation to ensure we push back on harmful federal policies and do right by Tennesseans.”
A number of trade associations and businesses have openly expressed frustration with how rushed and lacking in transparency the amendment review process was ahead of committee votes. Additionally, House and Senate committees did not allow testimony from either supporters or opponents.
SUMMARY OF HB9077/SB9014
Initially proposed but not included in the final version of the bill
The advocacy of the Greater Memphis Chamber and our partners with other chambers and business associations from across the state led to the following changes and adjustments from original iterations of this legislation.
