SB 2154 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Planning, Public - As introduced, specifies that the presiding officer of the local government planning advisory committee must promptly notify, or cause to be notified, the appointing authority of a member who fails to attend three consecutive committee meetings. - Amends TCA Title 4.

SB 2154 requires the presiding officer of a local government planning advisory committee to promptly notify the appointing authority (such as a city council or mayor) when a committee member misses three consecutive meetings. This rule directly affects planning committee members and the local government body that appointed them. The key provision creates a mandatory notification process after three absences, ensuring appointing authorities are informed of chronic absenteeism. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4, to implement this procedural change.
