State Government - As enacted, removes obsolete statutory references to the defunct joint select committee on veterans services of the general assembly; makes revisions to entities listed in the Tennessee Governmental Entity Review Law; revises present law provisions relative to the retirement incentive bonus for public service commission employees; removes an expired report. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 8, Chapter 34, Part 2; Title 52; Title 58, Chapter 7; Title 63, Chapter 6, Part 4; Title 68, Chapter 142, Part 1; Title 68, Chapter 11, Part 2 and Title 69, Chapter 10.

HB 288 removes outdated references to a defunct committee (the joint select committee on veterans services) from Tennessee law, specifically in two sections of the code. It also updates the list of governmental entities under the Tennessee Governmental Entity Review Law, revises retirement bonus provisions for public service commission employees, and removes an expired report. The bill makes minor administrative corrections to existing statutes without creating new policies or affecting public programs. This procedural update ensures Tennessee law reflects current governmental structures and eliminates obsolete language.
