Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee announced Tuesday that he’ll sign into law a measure that would assure continued taxpayer funding of faith-based foster care and adoption agencies even if they exclude LGBT families and others based on religious beliefs.
The GOP-controlled Senate gave the bill final passage on the first day of the 2020 legislative session after it was initially approved by the House last April. HB 836/SB 1304 was sent to the Republican governor amid warnings by critics of possible negative consequences for Tennessee’s reputation.
Lee’s communication director, Chris Walker, confirmed in a statement Tuesday evening that the governor would sign the bill. Earlier, before the Senate vote, Lee declined to weigh in after saying he had not read the two-page bill.

The City Council is considering an “indefinite” moratorium on electric scooters in Chattanooga.
Ken Smith, a foe to the new transit form, noted that the six-month hiatus approved by the council last July is expiring.
He said he wanted to act quickly to keep a ban on the scooters that have been welcomed in some cities, but caused multiple issues and some deaths in others.
The council is expected to take some action on the issue next Tuesday.
