Lawsuit challenges Tennessee animal chiropractor regulation | Tennessee
SUMMARY: Dr. Laura Colman, a chiropractor from Clarksville, Tennessee, is challenging a law that requires veterinarians to practice animal chiropractic. Despite having a doctorate in chiropractic and a certificate in animal chiropractic, Colman is prohibited from offering animal chiropractic services because she is not a licensed veterinarian. The lawsuit, filed by the Beacon Center, argues that the regulations are arbitrary, unnecessary, and overly burdensome, as veterinary schools don’t teach animal chiropractic. The Beacon Center seeks to have the regulation overturned and declared unconstitutional, stating that the Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners lacks authority to regulate this practice.

Cuts begin in a Tennessee school district as federal funding fight looms
SUMMARY: Tennessee schools face losing nearly $2.5 billion—about 20% of funding—if President Trump’s plan to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education proceeds. Some districts, like McNairy County, have already cut programs such as after-school activities, impacting students and parents alike. Tennessee ranks 16th nationally in per-pupil federal funding. A Joint Federal Education Deregulation Cooperation Task Force recently convened to evaluate the potential effects. Democrats doubt the state can replace federal funds, while Republicans assure no child will be left behind. Educators warn cuts could worsen teacher shortages, increase class sizes, and reduce enrichment programs. The task force must propose solutions by year-end.

Tennessee redistricting lawsuit still pending amid Congressional map battle in Texas
SUMMARY: Tennessee is embroiled in a redistricting battle similar to Texas, where Democrats fled the legislature protesting new Republican-favored congressional maps. In 2022, Tennessee faced lawsuits accusing the Republican supermajority of partisan gerrymandering by splitting counties and misnumbering Senate districts, violating the state constitution. A federal judge dismissed the House map suit, but a three-judge panel ordered the Senate map redrawn; this was paused by the Tennessee Supreme Court, which heard arguments in October 2024 with no ruling yet. Sen. Jeff Yarbro criticized partisan redistricting for undermining fair representation and harming voters, linking Tennessee’s conflict to national struggles over political power.
