This week, one of the two major bills that the Tennessee Transgender Political Coalition has proposed this year will be before a House Subcommittee. This Wednesday, April 22, the House Criminal Practice Subcommittee will take up HB0335 by Jeanne Richardson (D-Memphis). This bill would add “gender identity or expression” to Tennessee’s hate crimes sentencing enhancement statute.
Please contact the members of the House Criminal Practice Subcommittee, and ask them to vote YES on HB0335:
Eric Watson (R-Cleveland), Chair, rep.eric.watson@capitol.tn.gov
Janis Sontany (D-Nashville), Vice-Chair, rep.janis.sontany@capitol.tn.gov
Eddie Bass (D-Prospect), rep.eddie.bass@capitol.tn.gov
Karen Camper (D-Memphis), rep.karen.camper@capitol.tn.gov
Chad Faulkner (R-Luttrell), rep.chad.faulkner@capitol.tn.gov
Judd Matheny (R-Tullahoma), rep.judd.matheny@capitol.tn.gov
The House Criminal Practice Subcommittee meets on Wednesday, April 22, at 12 Noon, in Legislative Plaza, Room 31.
