Chairman Hawk said the measure reiterates language from earlier focus acts and \"reinforces that aspect that 1 board member is serving 1 institution at a time.\" A committee member asked whether the prohibition would apply to private institutions as well; Hawk replied, \"It would cover all institutions.\" A subsequent clarification from Hawk limited the restriction to boards that govern higher-education institutions and does not prevent service on unrelated boards, such as local arts center boards.

Representative Stevens proposed Amendment 37-10 to include \"all the initial licensure students at Western Governors University\" who are Tennesseans and enrolled in critical-shortage subject areas. Stevens said about 1,042 Tennesseans at Western Governors University are enrolled in those fields, with 338 residing in distressed or at-risk counties. \"This amendment allows for all the initial licensure students at Western Governors University to ... there's about 1,042 Tennesseans that are enrolled in critical shortage subject areas identified for the 2024-25 school year,\" Stevens said.

Chairman White described the bill as an expansion of the Future Teacher Scholarship, a program the committee enacted in 2022–23 to encourage teacher preparation. He said the scholarship is $5,000 per year and is available to juniors and seniors or to teachers working on a permit who need initial endorsement. \"The amount is $5,000 per year, for the scholarship and also applies to those who are undergraduate for the two years, junior and senior year,\" White said. He said the change aims to move more teachers off time-limited permits and into endorsed positions.

The committee adopted Amendment 37-10 by voice vote; members then voted 5-0 to send the amended bill to full Education.

Leader Cochran, who introduced HJR 175, said the resolution is a response to events on some campuses nationwide after the October 2023 attacks in Israel and is intended to encourage consistent policies at Tennessee institutions. \"HJR 175 is really just, it's a resolution urging universities across the state of Tennessee to ensure that we are always a marketplace of ideas,\" Cochran said.

The resolution does not create new law; it expresses the Legislature's view and urges universities to adopt practices Cochran described as best practices used at institutions such as Vanderbilt University and the University of Tennessee.
