Statement on the elimination of vehicle emissions testing program. #TnLeg #CHA

[Rep. Mike Carter @RepMikeCarter]

Forced annexation, which means higher property taxes 💰and higher density developments, is one step closer to returning in Tennessee!

Thank you Rep. Boyd, Cochran, Crawford, Grant, Hale, Hicks, Hulsey, Leader Lamberth, Moody, Parkinson, & Shaw defending property rights in TN.

[Rep. Mike Carter @RepMikeCarter]

Sen. Bailey claimed the "whole purpose" of the proposal was to save on the cost of an annexation referendum, but we believe that is a smokescreen.

The reason for the legislation is for cities & developers to get around the referendum. @realDailyWire

This bill would completely gut the annexation law in Tennessee, returning us to the bad old days of forced annexation. #TnLeg

Great bill! Proud to sponsor alongside @RepAlexander7 . Began this journey years ago w @RepMikeCarter. Still some work to do, but I kept my commitment to keep working on it. Promise made. Promise kept. Sorry he’s not here to see it become law. @hcgoptn @TNFarmBureau

[Rep. Mike Carter @RepMikeCarter]

Vehicle emissions testing in Hamilton, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson & Wilson Co. will no longer be required after today.

Grateful for the hard work of @SenBoWatson, @WilliamLamberth, and all who fought to bring this to completion.

Wish Mike were here to see it. #TnLeg #CHA

[Kevin Rhoten @kevinrhoten]

I filed a resolution today to end emissions testing in Davidson County. The EPA has given Davidson and its surrounding counties the green light to end testing. All counties except Davidson have all decided to end their programs. It's time we do the same.

Paul McDaniel was a friend, a good man, and a great leader in our community. He was always gracious and kind to Mike and I and made us feel welcome when we visited Second Missionary Baptist Church.

My deepest condolences to his family during this difficult time. #CHA

After experiencing mild, allergy-like symptoms earlier today, I took a COVID-19 test out of an abundance of caution—that test result came back positive. I am grateful to be fully vaccinated, as my symptoms are barely noticeable; without a vaccine, my symptoms would be much worse.

[Rep. Patsy Hazlewood @RepHazlewoodTN]

Today, 101 years ago the 19th amendment was added to the Constitution after Tennessee became the 36th state to vote in favor of women’s right to vote. I am honored to be able to sit in the room where it happened and serve as a Representative.

Cooper: Carter's pragmatic thinking helped lead to end of emissions testing program in Hamilton County | Chattanooga Times Free Press #CHA #TnLeg https://t.co/TIMPrHUHid

[Rep. Mike Carter @RepMikeCarter]

Thanks for sharing this. A husband and wife in our area bought several used vans to start their own business and couldn’t get them through emissions because of minor transmission issues.

Their difficulties prompted Mike to run the bill.

@GovBillLee @WilliamLamberth @SenBoWatson @RepMikeCarter Thank you sir! As a small business owner, I’m required have my fleet tested annually. This creates a burden for us since we deliver every day.
