Vote NO on SB127
Please, vote NO on SB127, which is on the regular calendar of the Senate on Monday afternoon. This bill would prevent state and local governments from using a business's or nonprofit's internal policies as a criterion for awarding grants and contracts. We should NOT take power away from the taxpayers to determine with which companies and nonprofits we do business.
We should be giving more power to taxpayers through their elected representatives to make the best decisions. Why are we tying their hands with another restriction?
- Cities could not refuse to enter into a cooperative agreement with a homeless shelter because they refuse to provide services for the elderly.
- The state could not refuse to enter into a contract with a counseling center that refuses to treat veterans or youth in crisis.
- Cities could not refuse to give a grant to an organization operating emergency shelter services if they refuse to serve LGBTQ people.
This bill, if passed, would invite devastating consequences for vulnerable people of this state and then it would become an economic issue for the whole state because we would be known as enabling discrimination. We don't want to become another North Carolina. Please, vote NO on SB127.
Thank you for considering my views.

Thank you for SB127 deferral, vote NO on Wednesday morning.
SB127 was deferred in the TN Senate after some raised questions that received conflicting answers. Send another email to your senator to show you are watching and want the Senate to vote NO when the bill comes back up on Wednesday. Tennessee does not need a Business License to Discriminate law.-

SB127 has been deferred 3 times because of YOUR pressure. It is finally up for a vote on Thursday morning. Use the form to contact YOUR state senator to stop the Business License to Discriminate bill.-
