Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee’s special session, scheduled to start next week, carries a price tag of nearly $917 million, with his school voucher plan alone costing $424 million in its first year.

The session is set to only cover three major issues: Lee’s school vouchers, relief for Hurricane Helene victims in East Tennessee, and readying the state to conform to President Donald Trump’s immigration plan, which could include mass deportations.
