General Assembly - As introduced, establishes parameters for biennial September sessions. - Amends TCA Title 2 and Title 3.

HB 1041 establishes a fixed schedule for Tennessee's biennial September legislative sessions, requiring the General Assembly to convene on the Tuesday after Labor Day in odd-numbered years and adjourn by September 30. It limits the September session to considering 99 pre-filed bills (with specific exemptions for local, memorial, and procedural resolutions) and requires members to submit their bills by the third Thursday in August. The bill clarifies that September sessions do not count as regular sessions for appointments or confirmations and updates campaign finance rules to exclude these sessions from fundraising restrictions. This procedural bill primarily affects legislators and the legislative process, not specific constituents.
