On August 8th, Governor Bill Lee called upon the General Assembly to convene for a special session on the topic of “public safety”. The call for the special session was made, in part, in response to the March 27th school shootings at the Covenant School in Nashville. His special session proclamation set the bounds of appropriate legislative topics that could be discussed and debated, from resources for mental health to juvenile justice to records and reporting requirements.
