Reps. Bryan Terry & Charlie Baum intro legislation addressing public safety

By

(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) — State Representatives Bryan Terry, MD (R-Murfreesboro) and Charlie Baum (R-Murfreesboro) today announced they will introduce legislation aimed at deterring malicious intimidation and harassment of first responders. The ‘First Responder Safety Act,’ will address growing concerns related to threats made to public safety professionals while carrying official duties.  The initiative would be eligible to be introduced in the 2021 Tennessee General Assembly.

“Public safety is always a top issue concerning my constituents. With domestic destruction, intimidation, and lawlessness associated with rioting and violent protests, public safety is a high priority this year,” said Rep. Terry. “As I talk to our citizens, it is readily apparent they are disturbed by what they have seen across our nation, and they do not want chaos and lawlessness in Tennessee. They want peace and quiet, and they want law and order.”

The First Responder Safety Act aims at protecting Tennessee’s first responders by deterring acts that threaten or intimidate them or their families.  One of the key provisions is the creation of an offense of “bias motivated intimidation” when an individual maliciously and intentionally attempts to intimidate, harass, or terrorize a person classified as a first responder.

“There is a growing concern about the decline in recruitment and retention of law enforcement professionals nationwide at a time when state and local officials are working to improve community relations,” Baum said. “Reports of unprovoked attacks on police officers and first responders as well as the personal information of officers being stolen and shared on social media have made headlines nationwide.”  

As a prime co-sponsor of the Racial Profiling Prevention Act of 2015, Rep. Terry is keenly aware of not only the need to improve confidence within the justice system, but also to ensure communities are able to provide necessary services to keep citizens safe.

“The recruitment and retention of high-quality law enforcement officers and first responders is paramount to ensuring the public’s safety.  Targeted attacks on these individuals deters quality applicants, and it expedites officer retirements, which creates safety challenges,” explained Terry.  “We understand the concerns some have with our justice system; I have always worked to make improvements, but we can’t allow acts meant to coerce or intimidate police and first responders to occur, especially when they negatively impact public safety.”

Reps. Baum and Terry this year co-sponsored House Bill 8005, a newly enacted law that strengthens assault penalties for physical attacks on first responders during official duties.  The First Responder Safety Act would address threats and intimidation that do not meet the criteria of assault, but still impact the duties of police officers, firefighters, and other first responders.

“We are looking to ensure that our first responders can perform their duties knowing that attacks, whether physical or non-physical, are a violation of the law,” said Baum.  “First responders protect our communities.  They have our backs and they need to know that our communities have theirs”. 

Reps. Terry and Baum are currently drafting language for the proposal and are incorporating provisions and feedback from similar measures in other states. The 112th Tennessee General Assembly convenes on Jan. 12, 2021.

Dr. Bryan Terry On The Issues

By

Leading With Shared Values & Proven Results

In his own words…

Safety

  • Individuals and businesses value safe communities to live, work, and raise a family.  As a legislator, I’ve consistently worked to ensure that our law enforcement, firefighters, and military are appreciated and have to tools to protect our freedoms and communities.

Health

  • As Chairman of the House Health Subcommittee, I’ve been leading our state on health related issues like the opioid crisis, mental health, children’s health, care of our elderly, cannabis extracts, medical transparency, health care costs, and improved access.  I have consistently offered solutions to the health care problems facing Tennessee.

Agriculture

  • District 48 includes many farms and families enjoying a rural way of life. As someone who grew up with a family farm, I understand the love and passion for rural living. I have consistently supported our agriculture families by co-sponsoring legislation like the Rural Economic Opportunity Act.  I will continue to fight to keep the rural way of life that citizens in the 48th district enjoy.

Recreation and tourism

  • In addition to an educated workforce and affordability, employers look for recreational activities as one of the criteria for their employees and associates when looking to locate their businesses.  Recreation and tourism are multi-billion dollar industries that are vital to the economic success of Tennessee. Protecting and promoting and environment that attracts tourists and businesses is a priority to ensure that our unemployment rates stay historically low.

Education

  • Though Tennessee has shown improvements in our student growth, there have been a multitude of unacceptable failures.  I have been a leading voice for having a fair, consistent, and valid system that improves our education outcomes while working to  ensure morale and confidence in the system amongst students, parents, and teachers is present. Students, parents, and teachers know that I will continue to be their advocate in trying to fix a flawed system.

Diverse background

  • District 48 is one of the most diverse districts in Tennessee, as such, we need representation that understands and can relate to a wide variety of issues and concerns.  Having grown up working in a blue collar, auto salvage family with a horse farm and earning my way to becoming a medical professional who owns a small business and is an associate affiliated professor in the UT Medical system, I’ve been able to understand and advocate for our unique needs as a district.

Voice

  • In order to be an effective representative and advocate, one must understand that there is Value Of Involving Citizens Everyday.  From sponsoring legislation for students, constituents, or the county to providing frequent legislative and community updates, I have worked to be the voice that District 48 needs.  I will continue to do so.

Affordability

  • Low taxes and a low cost of living ensures that our Tennessee families continue to receive more bang for their buck.  We are one of the lowest taxed states per capita with the lowest debt. I have consistently fought for the taxpayer and have been named a Taxpayer Hero.

Liberties

  • Having been named a Protector of the Constitution, I have been a leader in protecting our liberties and freedom.  I have consistently fought to ensure equal protection under the law while ensuring maximum freedom of Tennesseans.  

Unborn

  • When there is life, it begins at conception.  As such, we must protect that which is sacred.  I’m proud to have been and continue to be a proactive voice for the unborn.

Economy

  • By decreasing unnecessary regulations leading to a freer market, Tennessee has historic low unemployment rates with job growth 1.5 times the national average.  By supporting measures like the Right to Earn a Living Act and the Fresh Start Act, we are building an economic engine for our individuals and families.

Security

  • Illegal immigrants cost Tennessee at the state level 793 million dollars per year while the total cost federally is 116 billion(fairus.org).  This attack on our system drains valuable resources that could provide health care for our most vulnerable and greater security in our schools.  As a legislator, I have stood to strengthen our laws against illegal immigration. Security of person and property is a fundamental human right.  As such, the right to keep and bare arms shall not be infringed.  I will continue to ensure that our rights are protected.
