HB 847 shortens the deadline for water and wastewater treatment authorities in Tennessee to prepare and submit their annual operating budgets. It reduces the required timeframe from 60 to 45 days before the start of the fiscal year for the executive director to submit the budget to the board for approval. This change directly affects the executive directors of these authorities, requiring them to complete budget preparations more quickly. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Section 68-221-1306(c)(1) to implement this deadline adjustment.
