General Assembly - As introduced, requires the speakers of the senate and house of representatives to determine an equivalent number of legislative conferences, or number of legislative conference days, for which a member of the senate or house of representatives is entitled to attend for purposes of receiving expense and mileage allowances. - Amends TCA Title 3, Chapter 1.
SB 2012 requires Tennessee Senate and House speakers to establish equal numbers of legislative conferences or conference days for all members to receive expense and mileage allowances. It standardizes the count of approved conferences (defined as meetings related to state business, like workshops or symposiums) for both chambers. The bill ensures Senate and House members receive identical reimbursement opportunities for these events, without creating new benefits or altering substantive policies. This procedural change takes effect in 2026.
