State Rep. Kelly Keisling: Capitol Hill Review for 61st Extraordinary Session

State Representative Kelly Keisling (R-Byrdstown)

This past week, the General Assembly reconvened in Nashville for the 61st Extraordinary Session in Tennessee history.

As part of this historic special session, four new committees were created so that every House member had the opportunity to work on the three issues that comprised Governor Lee’s call for the session.

These panels focused on setting new standards to address the possibility of frivolous lawsuits related to the Covid-19 pandemic, increasing access to telehealth services for Tennessee patients during these unprecedented times, and holding those who promote lawlessness or who attack law enforcement and first responders accountable.

The special session began at 4 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 10 in the House chamber, and it concluded shortly after 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 12 with the sine die adjournment resolution.
