General Assembly - As introduced, entitles a member of the general assembly to expense and mileage allowances for a Saturday or Sunday during a regular or special session if the member is arriving on such day to attend, or in anticipation of attending, a meeting germane to the business of the general assembly for the regular or special session. - Amends TCA Title 3, Chapter 1.
SB 1158 (Tennessee) amends state law to allow members of the Tennessee General Assembly to claim expense and mileage allowances for travel on Saturdays or Sundays during legislative sessions. This applies when legislators arrive on those days to attend or prepare for meetings directly related to legislative business. The change modifies existing allowance rules (TCA Title 3, Chapter 1) and takes effect November 3, 2026. The bill specifically affects state legislators' travel reimbursement during sessions, with no broader policy impact beyond this procedural adjustment.
