Utilities, Utility Districts - As enacted, creates a process by which a utility district commissioner who becomes ineligible to serve for failing to meet training and continuing education requirements may be reinstated; reduces the number of hours of training and continuing education for utility district commissioners from 12 hours to six hours in each continuing education period following the initial 12 hours of initial training and continuing education. - Amends TCA Title 7, Chapter 34 and Title 7, Chapter 82.

This bill modifies Tennessee's training requirements for utility district commissioners. It reduces the mandatory continuing education hours from 12 to 6 per period after initial training and establishes a reinstatement process for commissioners who lose eligibility due to missed training. Commissioners who become ineligible can petition the Tennessee Board of Utility Regulation for reinstatement, requiring them to complete 12 hours of training within one year and undergo an informal hearing. These changes directly affect all utility district commissioners in Tennessee and took effect on April 11, 2025.
