Today, the House Consumer and Employee Affairs Committee passed HB3559 and HB3560 out to the Calendar and Rules Committee, which places both bills in the same status with companion Senate bills. The ultimate fate of this legislation is yet to be determined. UT Chattanooga Chancellor Roger Brown represented higher education, speaking as part of a statewide coalition of major employers and chambers of commerce in opposing the bills. Expect media coverage with UT-related comments on Wednesday in The Commercial Appeal and Chattanooga Times Free Press.
