FiscalNote has just released the 2022 State Legislative Sessions Recap, entitled
"The Most Effective States & Top Policy Issues in 2022"
The report overview stated:
"From producing new congressional maps reflecting the 2020 census to dealing with natural disasters and emerging diseases, to responding to Landmark U.S. Supreme Court decisions, 2022 state legislative sessions had a lot on their plate - all in an election year.
While much of the attention is centered on Capitol Hill, most legislation is actually introduced and enacted in the states each year - and in a much more compressed time frame. In the 2022 legislative sessions, the combined statehouses across the United States introduced more than 84,000 bills and enacted over 24,000 of them. That means the states saw a 28% effectivity rate for state legislatures this year.
In contrast, the United States Congress has introduced just over 5,200 bills, of which 248 were enacted within the same time period. This means state legislatures were about 23% more effective than Congress."

When working on state government affairs, the volume of information can be maddening! This is the very reason that state Associations need the support of their members, when planning legislative strategies, answering the 'Calls to Action", as well as raising Political Action Funds for state issues! |
|
As you can see, Tennessee legislators are extremely active during each legislative session. When bills come up which affect manufactured housing, we hope the relationships we have developed and the candidates we have supported, will allow us to have a stronger voice during committee hearings and vote calls. Please support the THA PAC. For more information, please see below!

THA PAC Campaign
73% of Goal - Please Help!

November elections will be here before you know it, and legislators are looking for donations to their election (or re-election) campaigns. The ability of THA to impact the outcome of important decisions made by legislators is strengthened by our success in backing winning candidates who are industry-friendly. Annually, we encourage our members to support Tennessee's legislative efforts, by contributing to the Political Action Committee (PAC) campaign.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As Tennesseans prepare to cast their ballot in the Nov. 8 State and Federal General Election, Secretary of State Tre Hargett wants you to know that your state and county election officials are the sources you can trust for accurate election information.
"During elections voters may see information being shared that is old, incorrect and sometimes intentionally misleading," said Secretary of State Tre Hargett. "Your vote is your voice and your vote matters. That’s why it's vital that you get accurate, up-to-date election information directly from sources you can trust.”
In Tennessee, the Secretary of State's Division of Elections and 95 county election commissions are the trusted sources for the election information voters need. To find election information from the Secretary of State, voters can visit the GoVoteTN.gov website and GoVoteTN app.
With the GoVoteTN app, Tennesseans can access voter-specific early voting and Election Day information, including their polling location, dates, hours and sample ballots. The GoVoteTN app is free in the App Store or Google Play. Ahead of the Nov. 8 election, voters with the GoVoteTN app will receive notifications about important election dates and deadlines.
On GoVoteTN.gov, voters can access the website version of the GoVoteTN app and find information about upcoming elections, election integrity in Tennessee, voter ID, voting absentee by-mail, serving as a poll official and more.
Voters can also register to vote, update their registration or check their registration status on GoVoteTN.gov. Using the Secretary of State's online voter registration system, any U.S. citizen with a driver's license or a photo ID issued by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security can register to vote or update their registration in minutes.
Tennesseans can find contact information for their local county election commission on GoVoteTN.gov.
"Our office works with Tennessee's 95 county election commissions to ensure voters have access to timely and correct election information,” said Coordinator of Elections Mark Goins. “With so much misinformation out there about elections, voters need to know that there are sources they can trust."
The voter registration deadline for the Nov. 8 State and Federal General Election is Tuesday, Oct. 11. Early voting starts Wednesday, Oct. 19, and runs Monday to Saturday until Thursday, Nov. 3. The deadline to request an absentee by-mail ballot is Tuesday, Nov. 1.
For more information about voting in Tennessee and upcoming elections, go to GoVoteTN.gov or call the Division of Elections toll-free at 1-877-850-4959.
