State Universities - As introduced, requires all gubernatorial appointments to a state university board to be confirmed by joint resolution of the senate and house of representatives prior to commencing a term of office; requires the terms of all state university board members to commence on February 1. - Amends TCA Title 49.

HB 1882 requires the Tennessee governor to seek legislative confirmation via joint resolution before appointing members to any state university board. It also changes the start date for all board terms to February 1 and sets six-year terms, aligning existing members' terms with this new schedule by extending them to January 31 of the following year. This bill directly affects governors, state university boards, and the appointment process for board members across Tennessee's public universities. The key change is shifting appointment authority from the governor alone to require legislative approval before a term begins.
