Regional Authorities and Special Districts - As introduced, removes provision that allows speakers to alternatively appoint a senator or representative whose district was in a central business improvement district as of January 1, 1999, as ex officio board of directors member. - Amends TCA Title 7; Title 9, Chapter 21 and Title 67.
SB 1924 removes a specific provision in Tennessee law that allowed legislative speakers to appoint certain senators or representatives (those whose districts included a central business improvement district as of January 1, 1999) as automatic board members for regional authorities or special districts. This technical amendment to Tennessee Code (Title 7, Title 9 Chapter 21, and Title 67) eliminates the option for speakers to make these appointments. The change directly affects officials in districts with central business improvement districts established before 1999, removing their automatic eligibility for board positions. The bill is procedural, focusing on correcting a specific appointment rule rather than creating new policy.
