Rep. Jason Zachary, a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives, shared updates on legislative activity and personal experiences through several posts on his social media account in February 2026.
On February 19, 2026, Zachary commented on recent legislative progress regarding commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) and undocumented immigrants: “Yet another senseless death caused by an illegal with a CDL.
My bill to make an illegal with a CDL a crime in TN, passed out of subcommittee last week. Also provides a private right of action for any Tennessean injured by an illegal with a CDL against the company that hired”. The post refers to proposed legislation aimed at criminalizing possession of CDLs by undocumented immigrants in Tennessee and granting individuals the ability to take legal action against employers who hire them.
The following day, on February 20, 2026, Zachary encouraged constituents to stay informed about legislative developments: “Read about the week that was in the Legislature.

On February 21, 2026, Zachary shared his thoughts after attending a movie screening: “Just saw this in iMAX.
Was outstanding. Ovation and cheering as the movie ended.

Tennessee has seen ongoing debate over immigration policy and enforcement at both state and federal levels. Proposals like Zachary’s reflect broader national discussions about regulating employment practices related to undocumented workers and public safety concerns surrounding commercial vehicle operation.
