Gov. Bill Lee calls special session to tackle vouchers, disaster relief and immigration

^{Published on 2025-01-15 23:00:55 - Tennessean}

The special session would allow lawmakers to focus on the topics in a more dedicated way. The special session would begin Jan. 27.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has called for a special legislative session to address several key issues including school vouchers, disaster relief, and immigration. The session, set to begin on January 22, 2025, aims to expand the state's school voucher program, allowing public funds to be used for private school tuition. This move has sparked debate among lawmakers, with supporters arguing it provides educational choice, while critics fear it could undermine public education funding. Additionally, the session will tackle disaster aid, focusing on improving response and recovery efforts following recent natural disasters in the state. Immigration policies are also on the agenda, with discussions expected to center around enhancing border security and addressing the needs of immigrant communities within Tennessee. The special session reflects Governor Lee's priorities for the state's immediate future, aiming to address both educational and emergency management reforms.
