Tennessee lawmakers agree to another special session -- this time to fight federal COVID rules

[TexasTowelie]

Both the House and Senate leaders gathered two-thirds of their respective chambers’ signatures to call an extraordinary session. The reasoning? COVID-19.

Members are expected to discuss masks, vaccines and other restrictions related to the coronavirus when they convene next week.

The House was the first to have the required support. During this week’s special session on economic incentives for a Ford Motor Company plant in West Tennessee, representatives, including Republican Jason Zachary, prodded the Senate to act on COVID rules.

“Every day we wait, people are losing their jobs,” Zachary said. “Children are being masked against their parents’ wishes, and I would ask our senate colleagues to join us.”
