"Tennessee General Assembly Implements Stricter Rules for 2024 Legislative Session"

Tennessee House of Representatives implemented a last-minute ticketing requirement for public gallery access, limiting public observation of legislative proceedings. The new policy, established by House Speaker Cameron Sexton, was not publicly announced and caused confusion among lawmakers and the public. The session also saw increased security measures and protests related to gun safety reform. Additionally, the House is set to vote on decorum rules, including limitations on presentations and the allowance of firearms in committee rooms.
