SB0257 DNA collection legislation will likely benefit Lt. Gov. Ramsey's Blountville GOPer Buddies

[doeriver]

*SB 0257 by *Ramsey ( HB 1822 by *Lundberg)
DNA and Genetic Testing - As introduced, requires all persons arrested on or after January 1, 2012, for the commission of any felony to have a biological specimen taken for the purpose of DNA analysis; requires sample of biological specimen to be destroyed if charges dismissed or defendant acquitted. - Amends TCA Title 40, Chapter 35, Part 3.



Perhaps Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey is wanting to steer some major state DNA testing bucks toward the Northeast Tennessee medical lab testing franchise in Johnson City that is owned by his radio evangelist friend, Blountville neighbor, and Tennessee Regulatory Authority Director Kenneth C. Hill (and his son TNGA Rep. Matthew Hill is also in on the Johnson City medical lab test franchise as well):

TRA Director Hill needs the state business as the 501(c)(3) Appalachian Educational Communication Corporation that he heads up (TRA Director Hill is paid $150,000 base pay per year by Tennessee taxpayers, yet TRA Director Hill also filed a 2009 IRS Form 990 for AECC, d.b.a. WHCB FM,& the Cameo Theater, wherein Director Hill worked concurrent 60 hour weeks at AECC in Bristol during 2009) — and Director Hill’s non-profit spent almost a half million dollars more than AECC received during the 2009 tax year:

Related: TNGA Re. Matthew Hill has filed HB0514 legislation that provides a measure court relief to shaky Tennessee non-profits:

Any Lab Test Now - Background Checks

Why Conduct Background Checks?
There are a number of reasons why employers should consider conducting background checks on both prospective and current employees. Some of those reasons include:

Misrepresentation of Background/Qualifications
Employers need to ensure that a prospective employee has the right qualifications and background for the position for which they're applying. Hiring a candidate that doesn't have the right qualifications can be impactful in terms of cost and time, not to mention potentially damaging to the employer's business. Not only that, most employers would be unlikely to consider a candidate for a position if they knew they were untruthful on their application.



Need to find out the truth
Conducting a background check is a simple and inexpensive way to determine if a candidate or employee is being honest on their application. This essentially takes the guesswork out of a major part of the hiring process.

Avoidance of "Negligent Hiring" Claims
Negligent hiring is a relatively new type of lawsuit in which employers are sued for the actions of their employees. The basis of the lawsuit is that an employer should have more diligently screened the employee before they were hired. All employers should try to minimize the possibility of being sued for their hiring practices – particularly if their employees have regular contact with the company's customers or conduct their business at the customer's home.
