Tennessee lawmakers have adjourned for the year after spending their final moments slashing how long the unemployed can receive benefits, and banning certain concepts on race and racism from being taught in schools. The GOP-controlled General Assembly had been meeting since January, with members often bucking public health guidance to wear masks and social distance amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As required by the state Constitution, lawmakers finalized a $42.6 billion spending plan for the upcoming fiscal year. However, more contentious issues dominated the legislative session, ranging from targeting transgender students to abortion to guns.
