The state House of Representatives voted 63-27 to approve Senate Bill 2115, sending it to Gov. Bill Haslam for his signature. The bill, one of two dealing with in-state tuition and undocumented immigrants, appeared to mark at least a slight shift on immigration policy for the Republican-dominated state legislature.
