General Assembly, Confirmation of Appointment - John H. Weston, Jr., State Textbook and Instructional Materials Quality Commission -

This joint resolution (HJR 887) confirms Governor Bill Lee's appointment of John H. Weston, Jr. of Jackson to the State Textbook and Instructional Materials Quality Commission. It does not create new policy or affect any programs - it solely approves Weston's existing appointment for a term ending June 30, 2028. The resolution follows Tennessee law requiring legislative confirmation for this commission seat, which reviews educational materials. Weston, a business executive with healthcare and construction experience, was appointed under a requirement for a western division resident. The resolution passed unanimously in both chambers and is now awaiting the governor's signature.
