Tennessee legislators introduced more than 1,400 bills in time for last week’s Thursday filing deadline, Humphrey on the Hill reports. Included are topics like eliminating sales tax on diapers and feminine products, a new rule requiring high school students to pass a civics test and a bill allowing law enforcement to impound the vehicles of people arrested for patronizing prostitutes. Gov. Haslam has not commented on any bills yet, with the exception of the so-called “bathroom bill,” in which he said he would prefer to let litigation play out before Tennessee considers the issue.
