State Laws And Regulations are scrambling to reform their education system, the a perspective on homeschooling,laws, and regulations. http://www.home-ed-magazine.com/HSRSC/hsrsc_lws.rgs.html
Extractions: BEFORE GOING FURTHER The HEM staff has been considering pulling these listings. The main reason is that as homeschooling becomes more widely accepted, and as states are scrambling to reform their education system, the situation becomes more complex. This makes overviews, listings and rankings less valid. We have, however, decided to keep these listings in place because they carry, at a minimum, a link to your state government. Additionally we hope reading cited code and at least one homeschooler's interpretation will help start to demystify legislation and encourage you to investigate further. When talking to new homeschoolers we often hear concerns about the law. Is homeschooling legal? Who do I have to notify? What do I have to teach? While the legalities are a concern that should not be ignored, neither should our response be automatic and not thought out carefully. There is no single source, no one true homeschooling authority. We all own the responsibility to think through laws and regulations on homeschooling. Of course you'll find those who disagree - an entire industry has grown up around the fact that there are differences of opinion on homeschooling's legal matters. What we offer here are overviews of laws and regulations compiled by knowledgeable homeschoolers. These files are not legal advice nor the final word on the subject. They are simply a starting point. To maintain our freedom to homeschool we will each need to go far beyond any convenient compilation or synopsis. We need to continue to do our own learning, lead our own research, and decide on our own actions.
Extractions: Motorcycling can be a thrilling and challenging experience. The safe operation of a motorcycle requires practiced skill, knowledge, and a respectful understanding of the limitations imposed by the operator, the machine, and the environment. Believing in the benefits of rider education, the Tennessee Department of Safety administers the Tennessee Motorcycle Rider Education Program. This program provides a combination of rider education and other motorcycle issues. For example, public awareness initiatives, information of the effects of alcohol and drugs, licensing procedures. BENEFITS OF RIDER EDUCATION Students who successfully complete either course will receive a completion card and a certificate. Those applying for a Tennessee Motorcycle License who bring the certificate from an approved Tennessee training site, pass the Vision Test and pay the required fee will have their license skills and knowledge tests waived.

Strip Club Regulations Upheld By Tennessee Court Of Appeals Strip Club regulations upheld by tennessee Court of Appeals; Sullivanlaw remains in force. by JOHN OSBORNE. BLOUNTVILLE If erotic http://www.sullivan-county.com/news/cathouse/strip1.htm
Extractions: Strip Bar Wars Update 2002 Strip Club regulations upheld by Tennessee Court of Appeals; Sullivan law remains in force by JOHN OSBORNE BLOUNTVILLE : If erotic dancing returns to Sullivan County, legally, it will be under regulations set forth in the Adult Oriented Establishment Act of 1998 barring action by the Tennessee Supreme Court. A Court of Appeals has upheld a year-old local ruling declaring the 1998 law constitutional. It means entertainers at adult-oriented businesses may not dance totally nude, must stay at least 6 feet from patrons, and must have a county-issued permit. It also means a total ban on alcohol possession, sale, purchase or consumption thereof at adult-oriented businesses. At the time the Sullivan County Commission adopted the act, two Bristol-area bars featured nude dancers, some of whom provided ''lap'' dances. The Show Palace, on Island Road near the Interstate 81/Highway 11-W interchange, had and still has a county-issued beer permit. The Bottoms Up Club, located on Highway 11-W inside the Bristol, Tenn., city limits, offered patrons the opportunity to ''brown bag'' for bring their own alcohol. Owners of the bars and a woman who danced at each filed suit in Sullivan County Chancery Court seeking to have the law overturned as unconstitutional.
