State Government - As enacted, authorizes the governor to remove a member of the autonomous inmate oversight board, whom the governor appointed, for cause; authorizes the speaker of the senate or the speaker of the house of representatives to remove a member of the board whom the respective speaker appointed for cause. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 8; Title 40 and Title 41.

This bill modifies the rules for removing members of the autonomous inmate oversight board in Tennessee. It allows the governor to remove a board member they appointed, as well as the speaker of the senate or the speaker of the house to remove members they appointed, specifically for cause. Additionally, the legislation extends the deadline for certain actions related to the board from forty-five days to sixty days. These changes update existing state laws governing the board's administration and operational timelines.
