Boards and Commissions - As introduced, vacates and reconstitutes the Tennessee board of water quality, oil and gas effective July 1, 2025. - Amends TCA Title 4 and Title 69, Chapter 3.

HB 1174 restructures Tennessee's Board of Water Quality, Oil and Gas, vacating current members effective July 1, 2025, and creating a new 12-member board. The board will include three current agency heads (environment, health, agriculture) and nine citizen members appointed by the governor to represent specific interests: public-at-large, environmental groups, counties, agriculture, municipalities, automotive industry, manufacturing, oil/gas industry, and oil/gas property owners. Each citizen member must meet specific qualifications (e.g., manufacturing member needs engineering experience and wastewater management expertise), and appointments must reflect state diversity. This bill directly affects the board's composition, the governor's appointment process, and the groups providing nominee lists for the new positions.
