HB 1335 requires Tennessee's Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) to submit an annual report by February 1st to the governor, Senate Speaker, and House Speaker. The report must detail TEMA's recovery efforts from the previous calendar year and include recommendations to improve future recovery efficiency. This bill amends several Tennessee Code sections (including TCA Title 58, Chapter 2) to establish this mandatory reporting requirement. The change directly affects TEMA's administrative process, adding a transparency measure for state leadership without altering disaster response policies or funding.
