Committees in both houses of the Tennessee legislature have again postponed consideration of the ballot access bills, HB 958 and SB 1091. The bills lower the number of signatures from 2.5% of the last gubernatorial vote (over 40,000 signatures) to exactly 2,500 signatures.

The Senate bill will now be heard April 2, and the House bill on April 1. They had been scheduled for March 25 hearings.
