This bill increases the annual continuing education requirement for Tennessee county commissioners from seven to eight hours and allows counties to offer a $600 stipend to those who complete the training. It mandates that commissioners finish orientation within 120 days of taking office and complete eight hours of training annually starting September 1, 2024, with exemptions for those in their eighth year of service or filling vacancies. The comptroller of the treasury must publish a list of commissioners and their training records online, and any commissioner who fails to meet these requirements becomes ineligible for re-election or re-appointment.
