State Government - As enacted, makes various changes to certain boards, authorities, and task forces, including, but not limited to, requiring all vacancies on the state capitol commission, the Tennessee local development authority, and the advisory task force on state reimbursement to be filled for the balance of the unexpired term. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 8; Title 13; Title 16; Title 38; Title 43; Title 49; Title 50; Title 54; Title 58; Title 63; Title 64; Title 65; Title 68; Title 69; Title 70 and Title 71.
SB 2562 requires that any vacancy on Tennessee's Human Trafficking Advisory Council be filled for the remaining term using the same appointment process as the original selection. This applies directly to the council members and the state agencies responsible for appointing them. The bill amends multiple Tennessee Code sections to standardize this vacancy-filling procedure across all relevant state councils and advisory bodies. It does not change the council's duties or create new policies, only clarifying how appointments are made when positions become vacant.
