- House Bill 11 21 (Chairman Hale): moved to the lottery calendar \"without objection\" because the bill has implications for the lottery fund.

Williams said the proposal aims to help TSU meet short‑term fiscal challenges without abandoning capital commitments.

\"This would give the legislature the ability to release some funds that were originally utilized supposed to be utilized for capital building projects to be able to fund the operations of them going forward once certain parameters are met, which will be determined by the treasurer comptroller's office and this body,\" Representative Williams said. He described the change as a tool to \"right the ship and become solvent again.\"

Comptroller Mumpower testified in support and provided approximations of the available funds. \"About three years ago, the legislature made $250,000,000 available, dedicated it to capital over at TSU. Today ... there's about a hundred and 54,000,000 left in that fund. All 154 is not gonna be available for operational use because there are commitments ... I think there's gonna be in the range of 90 to 94,000,000 available for operational use,\" Mumpower said, adding he was offering approximations, not exact figures.

Representative Glenn asked whether releasing capital‑designated funds now would obligate the legislature to address a longer shortfall; Mumpower said any further funding decisions would be a legislative choice. The committee placed amendment 6520 on the bill and voted 5‑0 to send House Bill 13 44, as amended, to the full House Education Administration Committee.

The committee record shows the bill was discussed at length and included participation from the comptroller; the transcript did not contain a detailed fiscal plan, binding release schedule, or precise list of capital commitments that must be preserved before operational transfers occur.","House Bill 13 44, debated at length, would allow the legislature to release certain capital funds to Tennessee State University (TSU) for operational support under parameters set with the comptroller's office; the subcommittee approved an untimely amendment and referred the bill 5‑0 to the full committee.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6106666,"Panel advances bill to provide free college for children of first responders killed in line of duty",65,666000,731000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2779739-5e6164a4177a8a97a8a5c0c1e232c7bb&start=666&end=731","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2779739-5e6164a4177a8a97a8a5c0c1e232c7bb/thumbnail_666000.jpg","/articles/6106666/Tennessee/Panel-advances-bill-to-provide-free-college-for-children-of-first-responders-killed-in-line-of-duty","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6106666-986bf9734d1bfaa0835b30de2730b0e5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137000&Signature=daHkL7o2GDQd5t-Bwoq44s5g8xit8EBKKEJ9ZELc6N8AFxPKb-hsHaYbWWTjgvc2tpvqbuvI1V8EJAuyN1AhrYyUSo4AvGSDviqxgpCFVRUfT5Pp1u1Nq-xrzxgzNhTTw6qwfUVSEkXnBDjE4lIebNbjO2gD4867yKS~i0VRFJrqWAgqej7ZUDxxWxsc~h9~MNgyoUT4R7iyv-5fcwngeuMVRjCi2eiga9jJiWYeotq6yyjgkjNUs3fOKB359nc5qT6kbjpqumQglFqcGDPlHEq6d6FhZpXxO4UL39EIPiSFA29VSBwccywUxR4kgrW3B5muAzWEzJ7qbWAjK51i-A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chair, Higher Education Subcommittee, presiding, recognized Chairman Butler to explain House Bill 11 47 and a committee‑filed amendment.

Committee members had no substantive questions on the bill or the amendment, and the clerk recorded a 5‑0 vote to send House Bill 11 47, with amendment 56 28, to the full Education Administration Committee.

The bill, as amended, would provide a 25 percent tuition discount at state universities for children under age 24 whose parents are full‑time public school employees in positions beyond classroom teachers, including custodians, transportation workers and food service employees. \"We often times talk about recruitment and retention of folks in different professions, but especially in our school systems,\" Chairman Doggett said, arguing the benefit could help attract and retain employees.

Members called no questions on the amendment or the bill. The clerk recorded a 5‑0 vote to send House Bill 10 56, with amendment 6104, to the full House Education Administration Committee.

The proposal would expand an existing tuition assistance idea used for full‑time educators to include support staff; the committee did not discuss implementation details such as eligibility verification, participating campuses or the fiscal impact in the hearing record.","A legislative subcommittee voted unanimously to advance House Bill 10 56, amended to extend a 25% tuition discount at state universities to children of full‑time noninstructional school employees under age 24.","actionData","errors"]
