  An Tennessee-Israel legislative caucus gets formed. The group is bipartisan. A new bill would make it a crime to block the movement of the security detail of the House and Senate speakers. The Senate passes a bill requiring tattoo artists to undergo anti-trafficking training.

The Tennesseean reports that a group of Tennessee state House members have formed the Tennessee-Israel Legislative Caucus to strengthen ties between Tennessee and Israel. This bipartisan group, led by Rep. William Lamberth and Rep. Aftyn Behn, aims to promote economic, cultural, and educational exchanges, as well as advocate for policies that support Israel. The caucus was established in response to growing interest in fostering a deeper relationship with Israel, focusing on areas like technology, agriculture, and security. Members of the caucus believe that enhancing this relationship will not only benefit Tennessee economically but also culturally, by promoting mutual understanding and cooperation. The formation of this caucus comes at a time when international relations and alliances are increasingly seen as vital for state-level diplomacy and economic development.
