Tennessee Bureau of Investigation - As introduced, increases, from 15 to 20, the number of background investigations that the speaker of the senate and speaker of the house of representatives may request a year for persons under consideration for appointment to a position of trust and responsibility. - Amends TCA Title 38; Title 39 and Title 67.

HB 1287 increases the annual limit for background investigations requested by Tennessee's Senate and House speakers from 15 to 20 per year. This change directly affects the speakers (who can request more checks) and individuals being considered for state positions of trust and responsibility (like certain government roles requiring security clearance). The bill amends Tennessee law to allow these officials to conduct five additional background checks annually without changing the criteria for who needs a check. It is a procedural adjustment to existing background check procedures, not a policy change affecting broader eligibility or requirements.
