HB 832 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Firefighters - As introduced, increases from within two weeks to 15 days after the occurrence of a vacancy in the office of any commissioner caused by death, resignation, disability, or forfeiture of office, and no later than 30 days prior to the expiration of the term of office of any incumbent commissioner, the time within which the chair of the commission must notify the appropriate association of the vacancy or expiration of the term when the vacancy or expiration results in an opening for that particular association to make recommendations for an appointment. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 7; Title 8; Title 49; Title 50; Title 55 and Title 68.

HB 832 amends Tennessee law to extend the deadline for notifying firefighter commission associations about vacancies or term expirations. Specifically, it changes the requirement from notifying within two weeks to fifteen days after a vacancy occurs (due to death, resignation, etc.) or 30 days before an incumbent commissioner's term ends. This affects the commission chair, who must now provide this notice to the relevant association within the new timeframe. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on notification timing without altering appointment processes or policies.
