The gridlock between the House and Senate leadership in Tennessee's special legislative session shows no signs of ending as the second week begins. While the House continues to pass bills, the Senate has adjourned without taking up any legislation. Last week, the Senate only passed three bills, leaving dozens untouched. The House has passed a measure requiring the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations to create a new report on human trafficking in the state, which is now awaiting Governor Bill Lee's approval. Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson has declared the Senate effectively closed, but House members are determined to continue passing legislation. The standoff could potentially last until September, with Senate leaders hoping to have more time to properly vet the bills brought forward by the House. Meanwhile, tensions rose in the House when GOP members voted to silence Democratic Representative Justin Jones for the rest of the day's session, leading House Democrats to walk out in protest. Public safety issues and the lack of progress in addressing them have frustrated community members and parents, who have taken their frustrations to the galleries of the legislative session.
