Recreational Areas - As introduced, creates an administrative attachment for the Doe Mountain Recreation Authority with the department of environment and conservation, while preserving the Authority's autonomy and powers in all other aspects. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 11, Chapter 25 and Title 70.
SB 2093 creates an administrative attachment between the Doe Mountain Recreation Authority (DMRA) and Tennessee's Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) for administrative support only, such as staff hiring, while preserving the DMRA's operational independence and autonomy in all other matters. The bill makes DMRA staff full-time DEC employees eligible for state benefits like retirement, health insurance, and adherence to DEC's personnel policies. It also requires the DMRA to undergo audits by the comptroller of the treasury (with the option to hire an independent auditor) and submit an annual report to state officials, including the governor and legislative leaders. This bill directly affects the DMRA's administrative structure and staff management without altering its core responsibilities.
