Today, the Tennessee State House of
Representatives voted to agree to the Senate version of Senate Bill
29, which would allow first responders to live where they choose.
The measure, sponsored by State Senator Brian Kelsey (R-
Germantown) and Majority Caucus Chairman Jeremy Faison (R-
Cosby), would ban residency requirements for police officers,
firefighters, and emergency medical services workers statewide
excluding Hamilton County.
Senator Kelsey won approval of the bill last March in the Tennessee
Senate.
