The Tennessee House of Representatives handled a large number of bills on April 17, including several that drew debate and many that passed with limited floor discussion. Below is a concise summary of selected measures, the action recorded on the floor and any vote tallies the transcript shows.

Key floor actions recorded (selected):

- Senate Bill 2-33 (substitute for House Bill 6-34) — conservatorship management task force: Passed on third and final consideration (floor passage recorded; transcript shows a recorded affirmative voice vote and later a roll-call indicating passage).

- Senate Bill 9-31 (substitute for HB 804) — regulation of cell-cultured/"lab-grown" proteins: Passed on third and final consideration; sponsors said the bill requires Department of Agriculture permitting and forbids labeling the product as "meat," with fines for mislabeling. Transcript records passage.

- Senate Bill 6-44 (substitute for HB 865) — schools of nursing program expansion/early training pathway: Passed on third and final consideration; transcript recorded an aye vote (Ayes 92, no nays as reported on the floor during the tally).

- Senate Bill 7-69 (substitute for HB 1140) — catalytic-converter theft penalties: Passed; sponsors described raising available penalties and using prosecutions to pursue organized theft rings; transcript recorded passage with the floor announcing passage.

- Senate Bill 8-71 (substitute for HB 1112) — continuum-of-care study and nonprofit support: Passed on third and final consideration; the bill directs a study of Tennessee’s continuum of care and resource delivery to local nonprofit providers.

- Senate Bill 5-86 (substitute for HB 1371) — unlawful exposure (revenge images): Passed; sponsor said the bill modernizes the revenge-porn statute to cover third-party sharing.

- Senate Bill 4-33 (substitute for HB 99) — animal-abandonment clarifications: Passed; amendments clarified that abandoning an animal at a vet or animal-control center is not a defense; floor recorded passage.

- Senate Bill 1-47 (substitute for HB 864) — signage for family restrooms at rest stops/welcome centers: Passed; sponsor said the bill will require signage to help travelers and families find family restrooms across rest stops and welcome centers.

Several additional bills were introduced, amended or passed on the consent calendar; the transcript records adoption of committee amendments and recorded passage for a long list of measures. Where the transcript included a clear roll-call tally, that count is listed above; where the floor record only announced passage, the outcome is noted without a numerical roll call.

What to watch next: Many of the measures above are now enrolled and will be transmitted between chambers or sent to the governor. Measures of legal or civil-liberties significance (for example, the public-assembly bill and several criminal-justice bills) may attract post-enactment legal scrutiny or implementation guidance from state agencies.

Provenance: The transcript records the introduction, debate (when applicable), committee-amendment adoption and final passage for each listed bill; floor timecodes and excerpts are available in the transcript for each item.
