Social advances for state noted
Nashville March 13. Social advances by the Thist Senoral assembly marked ambitious reform. A marriage health examination law was enacted alongside habitual criminal statutes inspired by northern models. A $100,000 tuberculosis care appropriation and a $1,500,000 head start were authorized to improve public health and welfare. The liberal group repealed 80-year-old dry laws allowing package liquor sales in counties voting yes by a majority and eased Sunday movie permits via city vote. The pre marital exam effort faced strong opposition from West Tennessee lawmakers citing racial demographics. The measure takes effect in 1943 requiring both parties to a prospective marriage to undergo an examination for communicable venereal diseases, with penalties for failure.
