Key Conservative Bills Up for Debate in the Tennessee General Assembly This Week

Tennessee lawmakers are advancing key legislation to protect free speech in schools, limit government overreach, and crack down on human trafficking. These bills uphold conservative values by defending rights, curbing excessive power, and enforcing stricter penalties.

As Tennessee continues to lead the charge in protecting conservative values, defending individual freedoms, and standing against government overreach, several critical bills are being considered this week that align with the America First agenda and Republican platform priorities. These bills focus on free speech, executive authority, and cracking down on illegal immigration and human trafficking—issues that President Trump has long fought for.

🔥 HB1262/SB1252 – Protecting Students, Teachers, and Employees from Forced Speech on Pronouns

This bill expands protections for free speech in public schools by ensuring teachers, employees, and now students cannot be forced to use pronouns that contradict an individual’s biological sex. Under this law:

✅ No one—whether a student, teacher, or school employee—can be punished, fired, or disciplined for refusing to comply with gender ideology.
✅ Ensures religious freedom and free speech protections for conservative students and educators who refuse to be coerced into using preferred pronouns that don’t align with reality.
✅ Pushes back against the radical woke agenda infiltrating public schools and protects Tennessee’s education system from ideological capture.

🔹 Why Conservatives Must Support This Bill
The Left has been using public schools as a battleground for their radical gender policies—forcing students and teachers to comply with progressive ideology under threat of punishment. HB1262/SB1252 stops this in its tracks, reinforcing that free speech is non-negotiable. This bill aligns with Trump’s stand against forced political correctness and the Republican platform’s commitment to defending First Amendment rights.

🔥 HB324/SB27 – Limiting the Governor’s Emergency Powers & Preventing Executive Overreach

One of the biggest lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic was that unchecked executive power leads to government overreach, lockdowns, and loss of individual freedoms. This bill clarifies that any executive orders issued by the governor cannot override or contradict the Tennessee Constitution.

✅ Prevents any future governor from issuing executive orders that violate constitutional rights.
✅ Reinforces checks and balances to prevent lockdowns, forced mask mandates, and unconstitutional restrictions on businesses and churches.
✅ Ensures that emergency powers can’t be used as a backdoor to strip away freedoms during a crisis.

🔹 Why Conservatives Must Support This Bill
We saw how governors in blue states abused emergency powers to shut down churches, destroy small businesses, and impose tyrannical mandates—all in the name of “public safety.” Even some Republican governors failed to push back hard enough against these unconstitutional moves. HB324/SB27 ensures Tennessee NEVER follows that path. This bill aligns with the America First movement’s stance on limiting government overreach and securing constitutional rights from executive overreach.

🔥 HB322/SB392 – Cracking Down on Human Trafficking and Illegal Immigration

Tennessee is taking a bold stand against human trafficking and illegal immigration with HB322/SB392, a law that would:

✅ Make human smuggling a felony and increase penalties for traffickers.
✅ Allow the Tennessee Attorney General to shut down any business or organization engaged in human trafficking.
✅ Prosecute those who knowingly harbor illegal immigrants, imposing a $1,000 fine per person hidden.

🔹 Why Conservatives Must Support This Bill
This bill directly addresses the illegal immigration crisis that Biden has created by refusing to secure the southern border. Human trafficking and cartel smuggling networks are thriving due to weak enforcement, and states like Tennessee must step up where the federal government has failed.

Trump has made it clear: Ending illegal immigration and human trafficking is a top priority. This bill reinforces Tennessee’s commitment to law and order, national security, and protecting American citizens—ensuring that the state is not a safe haven for criminals exploiting weak border policies.
